Badly Mashecl.
Mr. Martin. : Davis, an employee at
the cotton factory,
in the South-
westem part of the city, met with the
misfortune yesterday of having the
Ihunib on his left hand caught in a
leavy j piece of machinery and badly
mashed. Dr. V. J. II. Bellamy dress
ed the wound, and thinks he wiil be
able to save the thumb. It wasi so
badly crushed that it ! was at first
thought that amputation would have to
be resorted to.
Episcopal Visitation.
Last week Right . Reverend Bishop
Northrop visited the Newbera missions,
which are under tho charge of Rey. J.
J. Reilley. AtrNewbern the Bishop
confirmed six, persons, and at Golds
boro nine, who "had been prepared for
the reception of the sacrament of con
firmation during the missions given at
these places by Rev. F. J. Oberley. At
Halifax two persons received this sac
rament.
The Right Reverend Bishop, who, by
his kindness and affability everywhere
gains not only the reverence of his own
people, but also the love and esteem of
all, has secured lots in Weldon, Tar-
boro, and Goldsboro, on which he in
tends to erect churches. Liberal sub
scriptions have been received for the
purpose, and the Bishop expects to be
able to dedicate the churches in the
above places before the end of this year.
The church at Farmer's, as we have
previously stated, will probably be ded-
icaieu next ouiiuay, auu iiouup nui
throp intends to visit the Raleigh and
Hickory missions next month.
