The first counterfeHing probably
ever koown in Eastern Carolina came
to light here yesterday. .Two youtig
men fronr Craven county, named re
spectiv ely John J. Brock and John
W. Uhen, were arrested by Deputy
U. S. Marshall Hunter, charged with
the high crime. . .. , t
It appears that . they went to- the
hio.re of a negro, by the name of Louia
Fisher, in the suburbs. of the town,
and purchased some tobacco, giving
in payment therefor three 5c. nickel
pieces. The suspicion of the negro
was aroused by the ? peculiar . bright
ness of. the pieces, which upon closer
examination showed very- plain , and
palpable defects iu moulding. He
applied his knife and found that the
beautiful bright nickel was 'only
pewter. Fisher at once made the
matter known to the authorities,
and the arrest was determined 4 upon.
The parties in the meantime left
the town, but pursuit was made and
ihey were soon overtakes i and
brought back. Being closely ques
tioned they confessed they had the
moulds for the purpose and manufac
tured the counterfeit. They ) also
confessed having made the mould,
by impressions, on wood from a genu
ine piece. . Whether this is true re
mains yet to be seen. It is possible
sihat they aretr,oriy' the agents' of a
much larger concern and there is no
Helling what, araunt ' of the -larger
coin there is Afloat in this section.
Only fifteen pieces of the coin could
be found on their persons, but ; they
bad sufficient opportunity to hide
what they had.' . J '
They were young raeu of tolerable
good standing in tue community in
wkich they lived, and it is to be re
gretted ihat this niisfortuce should
have occurred; - - j
They will be taken to Newbern for

A Washington special 1 to the Bal

WILMINGTON,
Tapping an Audience. . ' -
The Rev. Thomas Hunt referred to in the
following, which we clip from an exchange',:
is well known here, among our oldest citi
zens, he having been Pastor of tbe First
Presbyterian church in 1833. He was the
pioneer temperahce1ecturer in North Car-;
olna and possibly in the South." Some two
or three years ago the venerable gentleman
was residing in .Wilkesbarre, Pa. , and for
aught we know to the contrary is still liv
ing and a citizen of that place. He was
formerly the owner of the colored man
Once, familiarly known as Jake Hunt, now
called Jacob Wise, formerly a member of
the Board of Aldermen, which position he
resigned for themore lucrative one of Cap
tain of the street carts. But to the extract:
' Some years ago an eccentric genius, the
Rev.T. P.-J Hunt, used to give temperance
leciures. Oue nigbl he announced that he
would lecture In Easton. Now-, temper-'
ance Was not in favor among the male por
tion of the burg. The women, however
were all in for the "pledge," and conse
quently, on' Hunt's first night not a man
showed himself In the ball.
The benches were pretty well filled with
Women, though, and Hunt commenced;
but instead of temperance, he put them
through on the vanities of dress, etc. They
w re great stuffed feather sleeves then.
They--thefileeves caught it, then their
tight lacing, and so on through the whole
catalogue of female "follies not a word
about - temperance.' And ' (he ladies went
home . hopping mad, ' told their husbands
about it, and voted old Hunt down to the
notch. - -:T
- He had announced that he would lecture
at tbe same place.,. the next night. Long
before the time appointed they commenced
to come; and when Hunt hobbled down the
aisle tbe : building was comfortably well
filled with men.:; Tbe old fellow looked
about, cbuckled, and muttered, "Hogs, I've
got you!" .The audience stared. "Aha,
hogs, I've got you now!"
Alter the crowd got quiet a little, the lec
turer said!
"Friends, you wanted to know what I
meant by saying 'Hogs, I've got you now,'
and I'll tell you. Out West the hogs run:
wild, and when folks get out of meat, they
catch a young pig, put a strap under his
body, and hitch him to a young sapling
that will just swing him from the ground
nicely. Of course he squeals and raises
a rumpus, when all the hogs gather round
to see what's tbe matter, and they shoot
tium at jthtir leisure. Last night I hung a
pig up; 1 hurt it a little, and it squealed.
The old hogs have turned out to-night to
see the fun, and I'll roast you," and eo he
did. pitching into their favorite vice with a
relish and a gusto. . , .1

nection, with this team that Mr. Lily him

his score was kept above, he average by

While Team Nu 1 carried off the laurels,
it will be seen that Messrs. ; J. -.D.; Woody
and Junius Davis,: of Team No. 2, each
made a score Of 63i points being the high
est made by any member of either team;
and the quality of this shooting will be appre
elated when it is recollected that each shot
in the bull's eye counts 6 points and that if
any member had put all of his 15 shotf in
the bull's-eye he could have scored but 90.
We noticed, also," that' ol 2's 4arg'et was
subject to. vibrations of considerable extent
from the force of tberwind and the yielding
nature of the ground. How far the same
cause may have existed to affect-the ac
curacy of No. 16 shooting we cannot say,

death at a ripe old age. "Peace to his ashes.
: About two weeks . ago, Miss
Rhode Enniss, a young lady' of highly re
spectable parentage, while walking along
the public road in Johnston county near
tbe Harnett countyvline was overtaken by a
strong, staunch negro man by the name of
Virgil Stuart . After tbe morning saluta
tion, lie rushed upon her and after choking
her senseless committed the miserable crime
for which he will be most assuredly hanged,
provided he does not escape from the John
ston county jail, where he is now confined.

A Wj Toixax 29 Maiden Lane.JfJew .York: The
10-gaage Gnn No. 3078 1 ordered from yon gives me
entire satisfaction, I was very enctlng when or
dering the Gun, hat mast say that yon have more
than fulfilled what I required of yonl. I have shot
several breech-leaders by first-class makers, and
yoar gam beats them all for beaity and workman
ship. As for Bhoottng-qualities, yoar gun shoots
stronger and more eves than any gnn X ever shot I
have shown it to several good jadges (including
nrstrclass ganmakers) and all agree that the action
is very strong and durable, and that the gun; is one.
of the best they ever saw. 1 have made some very
long shots with It using only. Z( drsV of powder,
which is all yoar gnn requires. I have ' shot It at a
target according to the roles of the Turf, Fjeld and
Farm trials, and the average of 8 shots at, 40
yard i: Left-pattern, 169; penetration,": 88:
right-pattern. 15; penetratioa 39; nsiug Z
drs. powder. ,Now I am sore sach la . gun
is seldom met ; with, and am "very pronoj to be
the owner of It Bat the real test of yjrar gnn
is in the field there it ex cells all others killing
cleaner and handsomer than any gun I ever .saw, as
yon assured me they would. Both paper and metal
shells work splendidly. Gentlemen, I have to offer
you my very best thanks, and will recommend your
goas to all my friends. ,. . , . .
