SiATEST "- i FllO.TI BALD AND MOUNTAIN?. iue uistarDance jQcreaslns In Se- Terlty The People still Excited But alio Alarm Subsiding. Raleigh News. A correspondent of the. News, hv iiig at Stone Mountain, writes under date of April 24th, as follows: The volcanic disturbances still ex ist and are occnrifing daily in Stone Mountain. There were several heavy '"Reports and . very severe . shocks on Tuesday, which shook the earth considerably for miles around, even as far as Old .Fort, seventeen miles distant from this point. Thursday the reports and shocks were frequent during the day and night, but less se vere; Friday, at 5 o'clock Pi M., the severest shock occurred that has vet been experienced! in the mountains. This shock occasioned considerable alarm with the people on both Stone , and Bald Mountains at the time, but through the intervention and influ ence of thei ministers, who are still with us, the fears: of .the people were allayed.. Saturday and Sunday the schocks continued at irregular intervals; in short, they, have ibeen, and are now, of daily occurrence since ten days alter your special) reporter, Captain Woodson, left the mountains. Explorers 'audi professional men from every section of the country are seen passing to jand fro everyday. I saw a number on Stone Mountain this morning taking observations, and though they inform us their object is to examine into the cause of the strange, wonder, yet they never reveal any 'facts satisfactory to the people here. 'j The citizens, particularly about Stone Mountain, are ; patieutly await ing some report from the number of scientists who have explored this re- eion, bavins: only seen from the News what youri reporter was able to obtain from Pfof.Dupree, of South Carolina, through an interview. It is true many of the people have their own ideas concerning the phe- nomenon, tbe most popular one being that it is a warning of VrOa 8 that his wrath will overtake the truiltv.' Some few whose stubborn hearts would not yield to the pres sure of the great .religions revival, held at Elliott in March, say the dis turbances tare : caused by an earth quake in South America. Be that as it may there is one gratifying fact I have to report in this connection: the people are not as much alarmed as at first, but very few even speak of leaving the mountains. As iSill Arp would say they are "getting accli mated to the panic" and are better prepared to stand itl V Some few that left the mountains have returned, but the Rev. Posey Ownsby, whose flight by moonlight was so correctly and aptly described by your special re porter, has not yet been ueara irom. Poor Posey's flight wjll long be re- rnembered by the Bald Mountaineers. I do not vouch for the. truth of the statement, but we are told that he. particularly cautioned his wife not to look back, fearing he' might have an extra quantity of salt to transport and did not wish his progress im peded. Should any unusual disturbance oc cur during the present weekl will re port to you on next man aay. Prominent citizen Aseauiklttated In j Sherman, Texas. Sherman,- Texas, April 24. J. D. White, a prominent citizen of this tiity, was brutally assassiuated at a late hour last night, wnue return ing home from an Odd Fellows' cele bration in company with a man named Flippan. . .lie received three shots fired ; from a dark allev. It appears that 1 ii mil recently White lived at Pilot Point, and vigorously prosecuted the murderer of a friend of his named Dia mond, by which, he gained the bitter enmity of some or uiamona 8 inenas, Several efforts were made to assassi nate him before he moved from Pilot Point: White's wife names two prominent business men of Pilot u Point as his murderers, and charges them with having offered tl,000 re- ward to any one who would jciu mm. It is believed here that Flippan de coyed White to the place where he 1 was shot, and that his murder was a premeditated deed, committed by persons from Pilot Point. A, -P In', A 'tn, hftvo 3 !

Another Attempted Robbery The Tiller Frightened off by a Xogv Yesterday morning, about 4 o'clock, aft attempt to enter and rob the residence of a gentleman on Fifth, between Dock and Orange streets, was discovered aad frus trated under the following circumstances: For some cause, which it is useless to de tail here, the family had, contrary to their usual custom, locked their watch dog iu the house on retiring for the night. About the hour above mentioned they were aroused from their slumbers by the violent barking of the animal, who .was running from room to room and from door to floor, making frantic efforts to get out. The gentleman armed himself with his trusty revolver and determined to ascer tain the cause of the strange antics of his dog. In pursuit of his investigations he came upon an open window, which upon inquiry of his wife, he he found had certainly been) .closed before the family retired. He peered out of the open window and there stood the lower sash, which had been removed from the window, leaning against the opposite fence. Here was certainly a very substantial clue to what had been going on, and the gentle man was not slow to act upon it. He turned the dog out in the yard and fol lowed, himself, with his "shooting iron" ready for service. A' hasty run around the lot, however, convinced him that the " bird had flown;" but tracks were seen at various points around the house, which were ap parently those of a man in his stocking feet, and were doubtless made by the thief in his preliminary examination of the' windows and doors before trying to effect an en trance. It is supposed that the thief was about getting into the window when the dog heard him. A barrel was found placed under another window, which wa3 so firmly secured that its supposed the thief concluded not to venture an attempt to force it. It is useless to add that the dog has been the "Lion" of the day since the oc currence. A myeterloua Enconnter. Edward Howard, Night Janitor at the City Hall, left the station house a few nights since and had proceeded as far as the corner of Fourth andsChesnut streets when he was suddenly confronted by two white men, strangers to him. one of whom stepped immediately in frontf him, drew a whis tle from his pocket and blew it, when the two men were joined by a third, who crossed from the opposite side of the street. Howard began to feel a little nervous, but, putting a bold front on, he demanded "What in the d 1 do you mean!" at the same time throwing his overcoat baek so that they could see his uniform." At this the men started Dack a few paces, wheq the Janitor, hurried back to the station house, procured assistance and returned to search for the men, but they bad disappeared. Robbing niaaIclaBa. Between 3 and 4 o'clock on yesterday morning a house on Fifth street, id the vi cinity of Orange, ocqtrpied by a number of Italian harpers, was entered by thieves, who robbed the clothing of the inmates of what monoy was contained in their pockets, some $4 or $5 in currency, and made good their escape without disturbing the sleepers. - jNotuing else was' disturbed, altnougn a watch, pistol and ; other articles of value were scattered about the rooms. A col ored girl on the premises heard the noise, made by the thieves, but 'says she had no idea what it meant. The robbers were' doubtless the same party who subsequently made the attempt alluded to in another ar ticle. ; Broke Jail. Glasgow Williams and Alex. Slewart, both colored, who were in jail at Wades boro awaiting trial at the next term of An son Superior Court, on the charge of high- way robbery, made theirescape on Monday night and at last accounts bad not been re captured.

We learn that during the excitement ' in cident to the fire on Market street Monday night a pocket book containing $150, in money was stolen from the room in which the flames originated.

The steamship Fanita, which arrived from New York yesterday, afternoon, be came unmanageable j ast before reaching her wharf and ran into Messrs.
