North Carolina Uledpcai Journal.
The April number of thi3 valuable
magazine is at hand. As a scientific
periodical, devoted to tlie dissemination
of knowledge useful and valuable to the
profession and to sick and suffering hu
manity, it is an honor to North Carolina
literature. The editorial columns of this
number contain the "North Carolina
Pharmacy Act of 1881," which is an im
portant piece of legislation, not only to
pharmaceutists,but to the people aHarge,
as it prescribesamong other things, the
way, manner and by whom poisons may
be sold in this State and fixes a penalty
for a violation of the act.
There is also a paper on "Medical Ed
ucation" in the State, from which we
learn that during the past two years seventy-five
applications have been made to
the Board of Medical Examiners for
license to practice medicine in the State.
Of this number sixty-three were granted
and twelve refused, "At this rate the
standard of examinations was by no
means so high as the Board wished to
make it It was painfully evident that if
a higher standard had been maintained,
twice as many would have failed."

Col. HcRae'a Hectare
Col. D ancan K M cRae is anuou need
to deliver a lecture under the auspices of

ing at thef Opera, House at' 8 o'clock.
The mere announcement that OoL Uc
Rae is to lecture, it seems to us, is all
sufficient to draw a large audience, for lie
is by heavy odds, the best lecturer, is our
humble judgment, that lias ever appear
ed before a Wilmington audience ia our
day. The theme, "Phantasmagoria," is
a sort ot magic lantern business, subject
to contraction or expansion, and princi
pally made up of illusions. We expect,
however, on this occasion to learn as
we always do when we listen to this dis
tinguished gentleman, something inter
esting and to hear things that are rich,
rare and racy.
Lumbertox, May 3d.
The Spring terra of the Superitr Court
is in session at this place, his Henor
Judge Gudger presiding, and Mr. Solicit
or M elver representing the State's in
terest. The court is well attended
though most of the cases are of a trivial
nature. The case of D. W. Thompson
charged with the murder of J, W. McS
Leod, at Abbottsburg, en the llth of
last March, creates much interest and is
the all-absorbing theme. The evidence
in the case is substantially as . follows:
Oa March 10th Mr. Thompson was in
Wilmington and purchased nearly - a ear
load of merchandise. The railroad an
thorities told Mr. Thompson that 'the
car could be side-tracked at Abbottsburg
and used by him to send shingles in to
Wilmington. Mr. McLeod, it seems, was
under the impression that he was ta
have the use of the car to send
nis ireigni in. ne was m tne car.
when Mr. Thompson approached and told
him to get out of the car as it had been
promised to him (Thompson) to send his
shingles in. AJ heated altercation
followed when Thompson shored Mc
Leod, who fell out of the door striking
hi3 head on the railroad track, fractur
ing the skull, from the effects L of which
he died on March 12th, the day follow
ing the occurrence. Thompson disappear
ed bat surrendered himself to the Sher
iff of Bladen county, at Abbottsburg,
on yesterday. At the last term of the
Superior Court of Bladen the Grand
Jury found a bill against Thompson,
charging him with murder. Witnesses
in the case were examined to day under
a writ of Habeas Corpus in order to as
certain whether or not the prisoner can
be released on bail. The case is now
(Wednesday May 4th) being argued."
The supposition is that Thompson Will be
allowed to give-bail.
One of the handsomest little churches
to be found in the State has just
been completed here, and is the
property of the Baptists of this
town. The building is made
of brick and the best of heart timber,
aud is stuccoed and penciled to represent
marble. It is 40x70 feet, with a clear
pitch of 40 feet. The spire is 100 feet
high, and is beautifully finished with an
appropriate finial, and is supplied with a
clear-toned bell. .The erection of, the
church is due to the unflagging energy
and liberal donations of our former towns
man, Mr. J. McD. French, now of the
firm of B. Godwin & Co., of this place.
The church will be dedicated about the
29th of May. Rev. Dr. Pritchard, Presi
dent of Wake Forest College, has been
requested and has consented to deliver
the dedicatory sermon. The Rev. W.
T. Jordan; the pastor of the church, is
doing much good work and is universally
liked byjtii8 congregation. He is a young
man of great promise, and will some day
be among the acknowledged theologians
of the country.
The burial-ground near the depot,
where repose the mortal remaies of some
of the best of Robeson's citizens, which
has so long been subjected to the rava
ges of cattle, has been snugly enclosed
by a substantial wooden rence. rarmers
generally are planting and using very
much guano. The young crops look well
and there is every reason to expect a
good yield this season. More anon.
