Our correspondent at Kenansville, N.

A majority of them went down to Car olina Beach, the Sylvan Orope havi ing waited until 11 o'cloek to ac commodate them, while the rest either remained in the city or went to the Sound. Death mt Mrs. Georce Davis. The sad intelligence was received here late Saturday afternoon of the death 'of Mrs. JMonimia F. Davis wife of Hon. George Davis, of this city, which occurred at Mt. Airy, at ? o'clock of the same day. The re HiaiR's were brwjight l)re.j yesterday afternoon. The funeral services took place at St. Paul's .Episcopal Church at C:20and the interment was in Oakdale. Rev. C. L. Arnold Rector of the church, conducted the services, and the pall bearers were Dr. A. J. DeRosset, D W. G. Thomas, Mr. William Waiters, Mr. James Q. Swann, Hon. A. M. Wad dell and Mr. David S. Cowan. Mrs. Davjs yas member of the Fairfax family, j of Virginia, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed n that State and were members of the npbie family of that name in England. She was married at Wei- don in 1867 to Mr. Davis, who had not long previously been released from confinement at Fort Lafayette, "where, as one ! of President Davis' Cabinet, he had' been imprisoned He was under parole at the time of hismarriage and could not leave the State. ! ; . ! - :- .

Treasurer shall, in ad- ditfon to what is already required of him, "at every examination of the books and accounts exhibit a full, perfect and itemized statement to said cemmittee of the usehe has made of every dollar of public funds in his hands since the last exhibi tion of his books to said committee, and if any part of said funds have been loaned out this statement shal state Ko whom loaned and on what security, and fehe amount of interest paid said loan, and such interest! Shall,- by the treasurer, be covered into the county treasury. This; statement shall be sworn to and published in a county newspaper or at the court house door; Provided, that nothing herein shall be con strued to authorize the ; County Treasurer to lend any public fund." This is a very riged law and when it is remembered that the Treasurer is liable to indictment with heavy penalties for failure, it will tend-to make treasures very cautious. The Legislature also provides that if the Treasurer petitions the county commissioners -they may allow a de posit of county funds in the nearest State or JNationar ban k that is re liable at the risk of the county. The Duplin Teachers Institute. This Summer's, Institute for the white race commenced ki Kenans ville on Monday, July 22, .under the charge of Prof. -Shaw, the County Superintendent, assisted by Prof. R. W. Millard, who is one of the oldest teachers in the county. There was a very large crowd in attendance every day. Col. T. S. Kenan, of Raleigh, addressed the teachers Thursday on general education, and on the same dav. Dr. Farrior ad dressed them on thei eircwlatioii of the blood. They were good ad dresses. On Wednesday night the young men of Kenahsville gave a ball at the Masonic JHall, where all who were so disposed enjoyed trip niner the light fantastic toe. This reporter has been attending balls in Kenansville lor twenty years and he can safely say he never saw a greater profusion of beauty on the ball room floor in his life. Much credit is due the young men of the village who did all in their power to make all present enjoy themselves and if any one went off and said he did not have a good time it was his own fault. On Friday the former superinten dent, Mr. B. F. Grady, ; came in and gave one of his fine, efforts on edu cation, and every one, present seem ed to enjoy his presence, f ; ; Superintendent Shaw has, so far as we have heard, given entire sat isfaction to all portions of the county. r I On Friday a vote was 'taken as to who was the best informed young man in the Institute and Magnolia township carried off the palm. Among the ladies, one from Smith's township was voted the best in formed. A committee appointedto decide what township sent the most beautiful lady totheInstitute,unan- imously declared for Rockfish. We never saw so much beauty assem bled in an institute before. Love and harmony prevailed during the weeK, : - - Advice to Mothers.

A storm cloud burst, directly over the city, deluging all of the" streets and low lots and turning the creeks and smaller water ways into rivers in a very short - time. Three bridges were swept away in a few hours and the dam of the Fayetteville Cotton Mills was broken, washing away the' picking house and undermining a i part of the- main " building. A trestle on the C. F. & Y. V. R. R., one mile from the city, was washed away. Fayetteville wil I lose about w2,500bn bridges. Old citizens say that it was the heaviest rain known there in 50 years. ! The Body Recovered. he bedy of j John Ballard, ' the young colored man who was drown ed on Friday afternoon at the foot of Dock street, rose to the surface yesterday about 10.30 o'clock, very near the- same spot at which . he went under. He rose on the -port side of the steamer Aeme, which was lying at the wharf at the time, and was caught by a colored man by the name of Charles Jackson. His sisier was notified and she view? ed tke remains and identified them.' No inquest was held. The nedy was bnied in Oak Grove Cemetery. The unfortunate man was unmarried but was engaged to a young woman in this city and the wedding had been fixed for next Wednesday. It is said that he fell overboard at the Cham pion Compress on the same day, a few hours previous to his last and fatal plunge, but was rescued by sojne parties who were . near at hand. He was an industrious young man and did not drink. The amount of rainfall here since the beginning, at 1 o'cleck this morning, is 1.30 inches. THIS MA1X SOHEBULE.
