James McCarthy, charged with forcible
trespass and assault. It seems that between
12 and ljo'cjock.on Friday.Bight defendant
went on board of the Norwegian brig Fido,
lying at her wharf, and was discovered by
Capt Thorsen making ' an effort . io induce
some of hisi men tov.de;sei.,:'8jtvls!ioes8'
Was folly understood by the captain, as
McCarthy had been on 'the vessel ituriHgl
iue uay ana suusequenuy. , two or tne men
had deserted. . Capp. Thorsen (lbercupqn ;
immediately ordered him. on shore. - He
sprung over the. railing and landed on the
wliarf ; but. turned and confronted'the cap-
1aib, usingv abusive epithets an.d finaliy
forced himself again on the deck of the Ves
sel, and upon a disposition being shown
by 'CaptT to forciblyieject him he placed
his hand behind, him, as if in. the act of
drawing a pisteV hd defiantly remarked
that he could. shot; 8even times to his (the
Captain's) one. In the meantime the offi
cer had called for Assistance and just as
McCarthy thrust hts hand behind him, as jf
to draw.ra weapon, the carpenter, a large
burly specimen of an . "old tar," slipped
up behind the intruder and pinioned his
arms as securely as if they had been in a
vice. - He then threw him on the deck and
tied him, when he was taken in. the cabin
and kept there under strict surveilance un
til morning. A warrant was then procured
and an officer appeared and took him in
charge. " On hearing the evidence, Justice
Gardner sentenced him to" pay a fine of $50
and the costs in each case.' When the above
judgment was announced McCarthy turn
ed upon Capt. Thorsen in the presence of
the Court, and used some very abusive and
threatening language, whereupon Justice
Gardner ordered him to be confined in the
county jail for twenty days for eontempt of
Court, which sentence will be carried into
effect. ' "

Xbe Orphan Asylum.
' A Bilk qudt and sofa cushion will be
raffled for at Heinsberger's book store on
Christmas Eve, provided one hundred
chances are taken before that time. There
will be no difficulty in securing the chances,
we presume, when it is understood that the
raffle is for the benefit of the poor orphans
at the Asylum at Oxford. Messrs. P.
Heinsberger and Jas. M. Brown, together
with Mrs. John. Dawson, Mrs. James Hill,
Miss Mary Bellamy, Miss Lou Holmes,

Newbern 2wf. Tb; dwelling
house of Dr. James W. Gray, on Myrtle
Grove plantation, in the lower part of this
county, was set on fire and burned down,
together with tho furniture, books, papers,
&c, early on Thursday morning last
- When the fire was discovered by parties in
a kitchen hear, who were awakened by the
crackling sound of the flames, it was too
late to save anything. There was' in the
house in addition to the furniture, &a,
some $25,000, in old and new notes, some
of which were good, also about 2,000 worth
of goods and jewelry. The total loss, ex
clusive of papers, is estimated by the Doc
tor at over $5,000. The property Was only
partially insured. It will be remembered
that it is only a short time since that the
barn was burned on the same premises by
an incendiary.
Judge Brooks of the United
States Circuit Court, has filed his decision
in the case of Swazey and others against
the North Carolina Railroad Company.
The object of the suit was to sell the stock
in the Road to pay the accrued interest on
the bonds of the State held by the plaintiffs.
These bonds are not due until 1885, and
the State's stock in the Road is pledged for
their payment Some of the interest on
the bonds has been dtie for years, but the
interest is only secured by the dividends
of the Road. Notwithstanding the fact
that the bonds have over ten years to run
before they are due, the plaintiffs endeav
ored to have the State's stock sold to pay
the interest for which only the dividends,
not the stock, were pledged. Judge Brooks
refused to grant the motion for the sale,
and has dismissed the suit with costs against
the plaintiffs. So says the Raleigh News.
