and stole froroJ hi coop five grown fowls
and two pullets, all it contained, leaving
ouly those of his stock which happened to

by thieves as a fair field for their operations,
as nearly all residing thereabouts have suf

Bad. Behavior at Funeral. i
Our attention has been called to the fact ;
of the unseemly behavior of the drivers of
vehicles and others at funerals. The com
plaint is that usually while services fare iu
progress in a house where there is a funera
the drivers and others in the street near by
are in the habit of indulging in loud con
versation, boisterous laughing, &c, very
much to the annoyance not only of persons
present, but to the minister, while of course
it cannot be otherwise than unpleasant to
the family. - - -
Attempted Jail Delivery. ,
Henry Wallace alias Charles Gorman, a
prisoner, trom fender county wu.o was
odged in jail a few days since, in default
of bail in the sum of $1,000, on the charge
of larceny, attempted to effect his escape
Sunday, which,' had ho been successful,'
would probably have resulted in a general
delivery of the prisoners now confined in
our county jail. It seems that he wrenched
from its fastenings a gas-pipe in the; room,
which he broke into several small pieces,
with, which he commenced digging through
the soft brick wall and' had, nearly suc
ceeded in effecting Ms purpose when the
jailor, Daniel llo wui d, enxno in suddenly
and detected him in the act. The prisoner
was thereupon locked iu a cell where he
will have no further opportunilyt until
October Court, of indulging his appetite
for the fresh air and green fields of Pender.

At this church, on Sunday night, a large
congregation assembled to listen to the last
sermon by Re v.? E. Cy' Dargan . previous to
his return to his studies at Greenville, 8. G.
The sermon,' however, was less an 'appeal
tn the .tenderer, sympathies oJL the. general
congregation; such as are common on such
occasions, than a direct -and forcible pre
sentation' of the truths of the Scriptures to
the a'ttcnYionof the" young men men of the
same age as the preacher. s At the conclu
sion of tbe services many persons pressed
forward to take the" hand of the young
preacher and wish him good speed in the
pursuit of his studies and in bis profession
Mr. Dargan has filled the pulpit pf this
church continuously ' during his summer
.vacaiioo, and. we helievehas given! entire
satisfaction., to the. great .majority of the
congregation. a For an undergraduate, some
of -his sermons here have been efforts of
great merit We believe he is to spend a

Hanover are. literally alive with thieves,'
robbers and desperadoes, who ,have ran
away .from the jail and work house of New

as Fender can well do to attend to her own

I to frequently where negro officers are in
command. ' On the same night and in ; the
same township, officers sent out to, arrest a
thief by, Squire (Jamberg, were resisted with
loaded gun in hand by the negro occupant
of tbe house where the tniet was concealed.
These negro officers were bullied and
driven away under murderous threats by
this negro occupant, and under this resist-1
ance to law the thief was allowed to evade
arrest Thus is thieving going on in some
parts of Pender, and thus do negro; con
stables discharge their duty. 'Squire Gam-
berg,' who is honestly determined to do his
duty in punishing these offenders, sent to
jail a day or two, since, one of these . despe-
radbes from New Hanovertwho, in the shape
of a negro with a white wife, was convicted
of five different acts of larceny. One of
them was for stealing a fine beef, and an
other for stealing a Bible from . a church
building and another for stealing aSabbath
school box from another church.
