Lee, formerly of this city, but now an enterprising merchant in the flourishing town of Laurinburg, is here on a short business visit, and favored us with a call yesterday. Two Bodies Recovered. The bodies of Henry Drew and Da vid Brown, two of the men who were drowned on last Sunday morning in trying to escape from the police, were tound yesterday. The bodies rose not far from the spot where the men were last seen in the water. That ot the former was discovered early in the day and was carried into the wharf near Colviile's mill and Brown's body was discovered floating in the river yes terday afternoon. No inquests were held and the bodies were interred. Spirits and Rosin. A gentleman in a city to the north oi us, a prominent railroad manager, who had seen in the Review of September 9d a statement of the receipts and ex ports of naval stores from this port, was much amazed at the immense amount of business done and wrote here for detailed information in regard to tho exports. The matter was re ferred to Col. J no. L. Cantwell, Secre tary of the Pioduce Exchange, and that sentkman, with his usual willingness to oblige, has taken the trouble to pre pare a statement of the exports of spirits turpentine and rosin from this port to other ports for the year ending with August 31st, 1882. We have been per mitted to publish the statement and it will be found a matter of much interest to the mercantile community, inasmuch as it gives the exports in detail to the various points oi destination. It is as follows: New York, 30,0 casks spirits, 74,13 barrels rosin. Sundry domestic ports via railroad, 6,493 spirits, 14,830 rosin. London. 80,515 spirits, 56,313 rosin.

Belfast, 735 spirits, 3,611 rosin. Rostock, 4,603 rosin. Rotterdam, 4,069 spirits, 36,333 rosin. Liverpool, 8,473 spirits, 6,686 rosin. Sunderland, 50 spirits. 3,184 rosin. New Castle 13,531 rosin.

It is hard to realize that a beautiful girl was once an awfully homely babv and spent the first three moments of her lias in staring fixedly at nothing.

It is rather tryiug to the eyes to be searching for it of the sun is up, especially on such a day as was yesterday. Beit if anyone will get up before sunrise of a clear morning and look in the east, he will obtain a fine view of the heavenly visitor, which will abundantly repay him for his trouble. The comet rises and sets before the sun. My Portfolio. We have received from the publish-, era, Charles Scribner's Sons, a book entitled "My Portfolio, a Collection of Essays." by Austin Phelps, D. D., late Pre lessor in Andover Theological Sem inary. As its title would indicate it is a "Collection of Essays," treating upon such subjects as would be apt to claim the attention of an eminent and learned clergyman. They are well and forcibly written, and, however much one may differ from the author in some of his opinions, they are interesting and in structive. The essay uuon "Woman Suffrage as Judged by the Working of Negro Suffrage," is an able and com prehensive paper, which we should im agine would bring a storm of censure and reproach from many of the author's Northern associates, but which no one at the South who knows the facts will attempt to deny or dispute, so far as it relates to the experiment of negro suf frage. Princess of Bagdad, The Claire Scott Dramatic Company bid fair to have a large audience at their rendition of the Princess of Bag" dad at the Opera House to-morrow evening, judging by the large number of reserved seats already taken. We clip the following from the Rome (G.) Sentinel: The performance of Claire Scott was certainly a surpise to our people, not withstanding the almost Xnlsome praise so lavishly bestowed by our exchanges throughout the country. Our people did not expect to see a star company which may be said to be the equal, if not superior, to any that has ever visit ed the South. Claire Scott certainly is a most maguificient actress and the claims set forth for her hav.e not been magnified. Her acting is sublime in fact she may be called a natural actress, for no attempt at artificial means of at traction is needed. .In the curse scene in "Leah," the forsaken outcast rises magnificently, and casting defiance at Rudolph, she causes a shudder to run through the veins of her hearers and when at the close the breathless si lence is broken by long and heavy plaudits. Of Mr. S. K. Coburn, her leading support, it is only necessary to say that in every act and motion of Miss Scott, he seconds her and meets every requirement. The entire corn Dan v are artists, and ably lend their aid to the star In fact it may be said that no actress ever had a better support than Miss Scott.

WHILE NOT WISHING TO OBTRUDE upon (he puhiic aty private troubles, there-appeared in ttie Daily Review of the 21t inst, a notice by Wr B. Hocut, which re qnires me to give to the public an outline of the whole facta of the controversy between us. In lt75, my time being engrossed by an ex ten sive country practice, mr farm, machinery and other business, I put Hocut in charge of a small mercantile business at Rocky Point, con ducted mainly for the convenience of my em ployees, agreeing to sire him one-half the profits, he having neither credit nor money, lie remained hi charge of tho business until January 5th, 1883, when we dissolved, he agreeing to take the stock and accounts and assnme the debts, I to pay what I then owed the firm. He ran the business under this arrange ment until about the 19th of February, collect ed all available accounts, exhausted the re maining stock and then visited me at my sick room and informed me that he could not carry out his agreement and threw the business up on my hands. He being irresponsible, I could not do otherwise than take the remnant left. On assuming control of the business and exam ining closely into its condition, I found that he had collected over ten thousand dollars, which he had not accounted for. I called his atten tion to the fact and in the presence of mutu al friends pointed out many of the items and he failed to explain them. The ill-gotten gams thus obtained by him being in his pockets and beyond my reach, 1 agreed to arbitrate with him. I selected col. Jno. D. Taylor, of Wilmington, he selected Mr. M. M. Katz and they chose Mr. Owen Fen -noli, Jr. , as umpire. The terms of dissolution were proven, as stated above, he having ad mitted them in the presence of several respect able witnesses. He admits in his card of April 8th, published in the Wilmington Star, that there were terms of dissolution agreed to on January 5th, 1882. He confesses it in the agreement under which the arbitrators sat. Y et for reasons known to himself he went upon the witness stand and swore that there was no dissolution until February 17th. He swore that I had possession of the books from Janu ary 5th to February I7th, that he never saw one of picm during this time except at my house. He stated this repeatedly. He stated it on his cross-examination more than once, and when shown various entries in his own handwriting, running from January 6th to February 11th, he said they were made at my house, but upon being told that there was in the city a gentleman from Rocky Point who remembered having seen the books at the store hi his possession, more than once during this time, which gentleman wouia be pat upon the stand unless he admitted the facts, he broke down and confessed to have had at the store the only books containing any live ac counts during this time. Ho confessed to have nsed the money of the firm in his pleasure trip to the mountains and elsewhere without being able to tell or demonstrate hi any way how much he used. He confessed to have been in full charge of the business ; to have received all bills and accounts, and to have kept the books. These books kept by himself; (the only entries in my hand writing were admitted to have been made in his presence and by his consent) ; these books which were admitted as evidence by all the parties concerned, show that he has collected on bills and accounts $3,417 which ho had not ac counted for and for which he offered ho ex- la nation other than to say "I used it in the ttsine8". Of this amount $1,47821 was col lected the last year; $1,471.98 of which is cred ited to himself and to his immediate family. Tho accounts of Messrs. Patterson & Hicks, Worth & Worth, B. F. Mitchell & Son, J. G. Heyer, T. B. Henderson and ethers, show that he had drawn from them over $8,000 which he did not account for except by tho same empty declaration " have used it in the business. The freight books of the W. & W. It. R. Co. (all other records of shipments having been placed beyond my reach) show that he shipped S09, bags or about 3,000 bushels of pea nuts, be sides quantities of corn and other produce, for which lie did not produce the amounts of sales or the proceeds of which he did not account for In any way other than to say " used it in the business", which several explanations seem to have been entirely satisfactory to the board of arbitrators, as they evidently declined to consider any one of these several items in making up theii award. The books show an open account agahist Hocut for $1,772.93; they also show that In settling the debts of the firm I have paid $l,fi)1.4a more than I ever received from the entire business. 1 demonstrated that while be was short only $58 the first year, he was short over $3,00 the seventh or last year, while there was an increase in the business done of only a few hundred dollars. Yet in the face of all this, the arbitrators award Ho cut the account due by him as "Ms part of the profits of the business" and require me to sur render to him a note given to me over seven years ago, on which there was due about $255, and to his surprise required me to pay him $140,?0 In money. This award was so astound ing that I wrote to the Secretary of the board, (Col. Taylor) asking him to be kind enough to give me the figures which led them to such a conclusion, which request was declined. I asked him personally for a copy of the testi mony, (offering to pay for copybig); this was also declined, why, ;l am unable to say. Now I will assert that after giving Hocut all he pocketed, they cannot obtain the result of their award, except by going behind there cords and requiring me to pay again an ac count which the books show to have been set tled on March ind", 187G, and for which there is not the scratcof a pen on any book or pa per of the firm to show that it was not paid. Hocut swore that H was not paid, and the re sult shows that all testimony went for nothing against the word of this immaculate specimen of a witness and business man Had he said I drew $5,000 in 1S7 which be neglected to charge" thev could have allowed it with more propriety, for in that case there would have been no testimony against it, while his state meat as to the non-payment of my account in 1878 was contraUcted by tho records and by other testimony. The books show for tLem selvw ami can be examined by any gentle man doubting t he so facts. Whether the com mittee did justice, to me, to themselves and to this business community, it is not my prerog ati vc to say. I am glad, however, that my ad herence to business principles, has made me able to meet the award in a manly and bus! ness way. ami with my personal integrity un compromised. Regretting to have been forced into print, I am now done with this matter. It is I nit iust to say, however, that Mr. Fenuell had nothing to do with making up the award, as I have since learned. . sept T! ltdftw E. PORTER, M. D.
