De Jarnette's Condition.
Below we give Dr. Eugene Grissom's
reply to the editor of the Danville, Va.,
A'eics in regard to the present status of
De Jarnette, the fratricide's mind :
Raleigh, N. C, April 26, 1881.
P. Bouldin, Esq., Danville, Va.:
Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor to
hand. DeJarnette is unquestionably of
unsound mind. I am preparing a report
of the case for the medical public that
will, I think, convince every reader with
capacity enough to appreciate, and hon
esty enough to acknowledge the truth
when presented.
Respectfully yours,
EuoExa Grissom.
Good Board.
Persons contemplating visiting Smith
ville during the Summer would find it to
their interest to call on Mrs. Emma J.
Davis. Her house i3 on the water front
and is possibly better adpated as a board
ing house than any in the village. It is
well kept and the table will be suppUed
with fresh crabs, oysters, etc. Her rates
are moderate. See advertisement elsewhere."
Spring: Time and Other Subjects.
Spring, gentle Spring, with a warm
touch of Summer, is upon us in fall force
to-day, and all vegetation rejoices in the
seasonable weather. The trees are beam j
tiful in their new and full grown foliage, j
while the gratsy plats scattered here
and there throughout the city are fasci
nating to the eye. The verdure of plants
and trees alike are pretty to 'look upon,
and all nature seeema to grow glad that
Spring time has come at last. Wil
tningtonnow wears herprettiest garb,and
not only delights the stranger who visits
our city for the first time bat pleases
the eye of the native who points with
pride to the beautifully shaded walks
and delightful promenades on Front
Third and Market streets. The fragrance
too, of full blown roses apd hyacinths
load the air with delicious perfumes,
while the gentle So nth breezes, invigor
ated by the salt atmosphere as it comes
fresh from the ocean, keep3 pleasant the
temperature of the body while strolling
along the attractive and shady . walks
But the promenading tax payers are not
alone to enjoy the delicious resorts of
these tempting strolls and grassy plats,
for the bovines, which are a privileged
species in our midst, divide the pleasures
and occupy the sidewalks as well as the
grassy plats, quite frequently from early
morn to dewy eve, but more fre
quently, from dewy eve until'early morn,
when the little tinkling bell, that has
such a charm for our city fathers can be
heard in almost every quarter of the city,
interspersed with the bellowing of half a
dozen bovines, more commonly known as
cows, as they come up to join in the
sport of their companions. Then some
way fairer who happens along reports
the filthy condition of the sidewalks to
the health officer and the police. If the
cattle were kept where they should be
however, in their owners' lots, it would
not require so much of "Doctor" Scharfi's
valuable time to look after these small
matters.

Ti.e New Ordinance.
Already the new ordinance passed by

day traffic is being unfavorably discussed.
The news dealers and the cigar men will
be the principal sufferers by the enforce

to be at least one day of rest which is
free from business.

Narrow Escape
We hear that on Sunday last, as Mr.
Hauke Tollers, with a party of ladies
and gentlemen in his carriage, were going
to the Sound, and when about two miles
frjom the city, one of the horses attached
to the carriage .shied and ran off from
the embankment, taking. with him the
other horse, carriage and passengers, ail
falling in a miscellaneous heap with the
passengers on top. They were extricated
from their unpleasant and dangerous sit
uation as speedily as possible; fortunate
ly, with no injury to persons oranimals,
although the vehicle was badly damaged
by the horses in their struggles.
