Jay Cooke is now a familiar figure along the country roads northeast of Philadelphia, but he is not often found mingling in the push and uncertainty of "the street." An observer writes that he had seen him dressed more in the garb of a countryman than that of a financier. His clothes were plain, and his while slouched bat, with its broad brim, gave him the appearaoce ot a well-to-do farmer. His hair and beard were snow white, and he was driving along with an easy gait, as if perfectly ccntened with tile. Brig John Sixty-. Nickersm, was at Delaware Breakwater April 28:h for this port.

It was thought by some thai she had dislocated her hip, but others were of the opinion that her ina bility to rise was o wing to fatigue and hunger.

Captain Lavton, of the Br. brig J. Williams, and his mate, have been arrested at North Shields, Eng., charg ed with the murder of a sailor named HugoLinniborg. The J. Williams left here on the 10th day of March last bound for Ncwcastle-on-Tyne, "and it was during the passage that the mur der, or rather the torturing to death, was committed. It is alleged that at one time Linniborg was compelled to stand on deck, entirely nude, during a hailstorm; at another time he was dragged from his berth and severely kicked, and one ot the accused, a few m- mm moments before l.inniborgs aeatn, dashed a bucket ot salt water in his face. The murdered sailor was quite respectably connected, his father being Director of Fisheries in Sweden. , - Tour of Inspection. The State Board ot Directors of the North Carolina Penitentiary recently held a meeting at Raleigh and decided to invite the Stale Board ot Health to join them in a tour of inspection of the quarters of the convicts now employed upon the various railroads and other works of internal improvement in the State. With that object in view, Mr. A. D. Brown, of tbi3 city, of the Board of Directors of the Penitenliary, ac companied by Dr. Thos. F. Wood.Presi dent of the State Board ot Health, will leave here on the 11th inst., upon a tour of inspection of the quarters ot the coBvicts employed upon the Western North Carolina Railroad. This inspec tion will be thorough and with a special regard to the sanitary and hygienic condition of the camps occupied by the convicts, and will extend to all other matters relating to their health. The duty upon this road has been specially assigned lo Mr. Brown while the in spection on the Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley Railroad and other places in Eastern Carolina where convicts are employed has been assigned to Mr. H. R. Bryant, ot Newbern, who is also a good excuse tur personal violence from him. You have no more right to r.i-p his itaad with such force, as to produce pain than you have to staud utn hi toes for the same purpose, and both are equally cruel and insulting. Wc like lv sec a good, hearty, cordial hand shaking, but that can be done with all the earnestness and sincerity imaginable without the least approach to torture. Grasping the hand with a vice like, torturing grip is simply brutal. Do not indulge iu such a reprehensible practice! Have Arrived. The new uniforms for the Seaside Base Ball Club arrived here this morn ing and were on exhibition during the day in the windows of Mr. John Dyer's store on the corner ot Front and Prin cess street. They are very neat as the following description will show: Blue cloth cap with white leather vi3or and orauge colored star ou the crown; white kuitted, close fitting jersey f-hirt, trimmed with orange and blue and with the letter 'S," in bluo on the breast," while canvass belt with blue border; blue flannel trousers, blue and orange striped stocking, and hand some lawn tennis, low quartered shoes with rubber soles and canvass tops. The uniforms, with the exception of the trousers, were furnished by Messrs. Wright & Dilson. of Boston, Mas3. ; the trousers were made by Mr. John Dyer of this city. - Change of Hour.

It evidences the fact that Wilmington is the natural outlet for the va5t wealth, mineral and vegetable, of Western North Carolina. The Char lotte Observer says : A shipment of 225 car loads of lum ber from Western North Carolina is now passing through this city lor the seaport of Wilmington, whence it will be conveyed in vessels to Europe. The fact that speculators in Europe find it profitable to pay the transportation charges of this lum ber over such a great distance by land and sea is sufficient proof as to the value ot the lumber its elf. The lumber is shipped from Alex ander's, in Buncombe county, and comes to Charlotte in Western North Carolina cars, and here it is transfer red to the cars of the Carolina Central road and carried on to Wilmington, where it is transferred on board of ship. The shipment is an immense one, as a little thought will show. The work of transporting the lumbar from Alexan der's to Wilmington was begun Thurs day of last week, and the shipments have averaged about eight car loads per day. Yesterday there were ten car loads. Each car is loaded to its fullest capacity, and carries 30,900 pounds ot lumber. This lumber which is going to Eu rope is said to be the finest in the world, and great care is taken in its shipment. To prevent the lumber from being in jured by rain it is carried in box cars, as much care being taken with it as it it was so much dry goods. Every plank in this shipment is of poplar, and is stacked with great regularity' in the cars, each car being filled from floor to roof, leaving a small aisie in the centre of the car for the loading and unload ing force to work in. Each plank is carefully inspected by the railroad hands, and a correct account is keptoi all that are split or otherwise damaged. The transfer of the lumber at Char lotte is a tedious piece of work, and an Observer reporter was yesterday afford ed a good opportunity to inspect some oflbe Europe-bound wealth of North Carolina forests. Several lumber deal ers were grouped around the cars ad miring what they pronounced some of the most beautiful lumber they had ever seen. The squarely cut poplar planks were well seasoned, dry and light, and were perfect, being sound and without knots. The planks varied in length from 16 to 18 teet. and were fro.u 1 to 3 inches thick. They were in various widths and through the aid of a foot rule it was found that the nar rowest plank was 24 inches wide, and the broadest 40 inches wide- Of the whole amount of lumber in the ten car loads, about one-fourth of it wa3 of the 16 foot long and 40 inch wide measurement. To saw out planks oi these dimensions must have required tremendous saw stock, and the trees from which they come must indeed be iants of the forest. The teauty of toe lumber consists not only in its size, but in its clearness and perfection. The European buyers are authority for the statement thai no country in the world can produce lumber superior to the shipment that is how being made to them . Thisis themost forcible illustration oi the value ot the timber lands of our State that has yet been known, and this introduction into the European mar kets ot North Carolina lumber is some thing for our people to rejoice over. We observe .'quite a fine display oi new Revolvers for very reasonable prices, at Jacobi's Hardware Depot. t Heath ol Mr. Charles H. Fen nell. It is with profound sorrow that we are cahcil upon to chronicle the dealb of Mr. Charles B. FenncLl, which oe'- curred nt the house ot his father, Mr. Owen Fuuncli, pu Dock street, between Sixth and Seventh, at a lew minutes before 8' o'clock this morning. The deceased was ia the 29lh year of his age and had been an invalid for several months. During the Winter 'his health became so affected that he wont to Jacksonville. Fia , with the hopo that tho change of climate aud atmos phero might prove beneficial, but soon after his arrival there he was taken alarmingly worse and his lather and mother hastened thither to be with him and to render him al! the assistance which parental affection could give or parental solicitude could suggest. The son soon recovered suf ficiently to be able to return home with his parents. Since then he had been able to be out a few times, although he had not at any time been materially better. For the last few weeks his condition for the worse had been such as to leave little hopes of his recovery aud tor the last few days his death had been almost hourly expected. Mr. Feunell had been for more than six years in tho employ of Mr.-D. L. Gore, on South Water Etrcet, wiih whom he occupied an important and responsible position which ho had filed with the strictest iotegrly and fidelelity. By nature he was of a retiring, modest disposition, but he was always courteous and affable with those with whom he had either business relations or social in tercourse. He had the profound esteem of all who knew him, and his bereaved father, mother and brother have the heartifelt sympathy of all our citizens.
