Mr. Nath'l Jacobi having been appoint ed agent fox the Atlas Plow, parties in want of this celebrated ' Plow can now have their orders fitted at Jacobi's Hard, ware Depot, No. 10 S. Front st. tf. The Tacancy from the second Ward. The question as to who shall fill the empty chair on the Board of Alderman made vacant by the death of Col. Flan ner is now open for discussion, and we avail ourselves of the privilege ef rising to remark, as a citizen ; ef the Second Ward, and a Democratic citizen at that, that the claims and wishes of the major ity of the Democratic voters In this wardshould be considered in this matter, and to that eud we would suggest a called meeting of the Detnqcratic voters of the Second Ward at the earliest mo ment for the purpose of recommending a suitable person for apppointment by the Board. We think as a matter, of cour tesy to the largest Democratic Ward in the city, their preferences in the matter should be respected by the Democratic members of the Board of Aldermen. Cannot the Ward hold a meeting to-morrow night or Thursday night? Delays are dangerous, and matters ot importance should always be attended to at once. . An Unwilling Witness. Epbraim Smith, colored, an important witness in the case of the State against John Merrick, charged with the burning of Mr. John A. Sanders' residence some two years ago, was arrested this morning upon a warrant issued by Justice Gard ner upon the charge of larceny of pork, said to have been committed by defen dant, in companyjwith one Henry Crewr, eome time since, from Mr. John A. San ders. Crews took his departure for Ral eigh about three weeks ago under sentence of the Criminal Court for a visit of 20 years duration .to the Stale Penitentiary, an J in all probability Smith will follow in his wake, unless he takes advantage of the opportunity which may be offered him by the rotate to tern State's evidence against Merrick. Smith was arrested tbb morning as stated above and committed to jail ia default of bail. This makes sure of defendant Smith as a witness in the arson case, when other wue the Sute might not have been so sore of him, as Le was known to be dodging the officers of the law, to prevent appearing as a 'wit ness against bis former "pal. and Con fed exate, John Merxiak. : . . - Mr. J.
