Middleport (Ohio) News.J
We have heard of a very distress
ing accident occurring in Jackson
county,' West Virginia. It5 was a
"house raising." As is customary on
such occasions, chickens had been
killed by chopping off their heads.
Two little sons of -the owner of the
honse to be raised saw ' the chickens
thus gillotined, and during the day
concluded to repeat the operation. It
was just at a time when the men were
lifting a heavy tog-into its place.
The father, who was holding one end
of the.log, casting his pyes towards
the little fellows, one of whom had
the axe raised to sever the neck of
his brother, let go the log to save the
boy, and it fell, killing six mentwo
instantly, the others living only a few
hours. The axe fell before the father
could reach the scene, severing the
neck of his son. Thus were seven
persons hurled into eternity in a
twinkling. -.

Slnlclner or m Lighter Loaded wltta
Salt Narrow Escape of the Meat
on-Ber dee. : ; .
An accident quite destructive in its results
occurred at the wharf of Messrs. Kerchner
&CaIder Bros., yesterday, about 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. It appears that a lighter,
or flat, belonging to Mr. John M. Robinson,
had been loaded with about, five hundred
sacks of salt, and, as the hands were in the
act of pushing her from the wharf, the side
of the lighter next to the wharf seemed to
drop from some projecting log Upon which:
Jt had probably" rested, when she careened
over and went down. So sudden and un
expected was the accident, and so rapidly
did lighter and Cargo sink beneath the
waters, that if was with considerable diffi
culty that the men on her at the time, six
in number, were enabled to escape from
being carried down with her, some of them
being seized and pulied upon the wharf
after the water had reached to their waists.
Immediately upon sinking the lighter went
to pieces, and will therefore prove a total
wreck; while, of course, not a sack of the
salt could be saved. Several colored men
were engaged in dragging for it soon after
the accident occurred, but succeeded only
in recovering a number of empty sacks.
The salt belonged to Messrs. Kerchner
& Calder Bros., and was valued at about
$1 per sack or $500 for the entire load.
The lighter, which, as before stated, be
longed ; Mr. J. M. Robinson, was a new
one, just completed, and was valued at
about $350.
The affair created considerable excite
ment n North Water street and a large
number of the curiously disposed flocked
to the scene of the disaster, some of whom
could not refrain from perpetrating . the
joke, although on such a serious subject,
that "fish that may be caught in the river
for some days to come will be already
corned."

Two colored boys, nearly grown, named
Duke Kelley and Henry Dudley, were ar
rested yesterday on the charge of stealing
two iron castings from the premises of the
Cape Fear Fibre Companj., It appears that
articles of this description have been mys
teriously disappearing for some time past
Yesterday morning Mr. Mayo, who is in
the employ of the company, discovered the
iron castings alluded to in the yard, slightly
covered with sand, and having his suspicions
aroused he concealed himself and "watch
ed and waited" for something to turn up.
Shortly afterwards Henry Dudley came up
with a boat, secured her at the landing and
went up into the yard, where he proceeded
very cautiously to gather up the castings
and place them in the boat, having iu the
meantime pulled off his coat, which he
placed over the castings ou his shoulder to
conceal them. Having watched the pro
ceeding thus far, Mr., Mayo went up and
procured the assistance of Mr. Leach, the
private watchman of - the premises, and
the two returned together, where they
found Henry Dudley and Duke Kelley in
the boat and in the act of pushing off.
When accosted and accused of the theft,
Kelley disclaimed any connection with the
matter, trying to throw , the responsibility
entirely upon Dudley, but the evidence
was sufficient to satisfy Justice Cassidey,
before whom the parties were taken ' by
Mr. Mayo, and upon whose affidavits they
were tried, that both,werejequally guilty of
the charge upon which they were arraigned,
and they were thereupon ordered to give a
justified bond in the sum of $500 each for
their appearance at the January term of the
SuperiorXourt, in default of which they
were committed to jail, where they wil
probably spend the Christmas holidays. ; .

Among others, it will devolve upon Confer
ence to supply the pulpit of the Fifth -Street
Church of this eity, made vacant by the ill
health and consequent change of location
of the Rev. J. T. Gibbs, and much interest
centres upon the succession. ' From the
business whichwill call for att'ention.and the
great number and ability of those who ap

terest for the general public as well as those
immediately interested. We. presume the
sessions will be held both morning aiad even

Fifth Street Church as well as at the Front

During their stay in the city the Bishop

From ibe Sea to the mountains.. ;
Under this head the Asheville Pioneer has
some very sound and practical reasons why
North Carolinians, and especially the peo
ple of the West, should endeavor; to make
Wilmington the great commercial metropo
lis and entrepot of the State. This is to
be done by extending the connections of the
Carolina Central Railway. We quote:
In the first place, it is necessary for the1
fntureweal of our mountain country that
we should reach the seaboard at the sear
est practical point on the coast of our own
State which offers any reasonable -inducements
as a commercial point. To us Wil
mington is undoubtedly that point. If we
desire to become prosperous io a commer
cial point of view, it is absolutely necessary
that we have a commercial centre within
the borders of our State which can have
direct communication with the markets of
both the old and new world, and that we
be brought in direct communication with
that point,, Certainly Wilmington offers in
ducements ib tnat respect that no other
place in North Carolina holds out to the
people of the West.' 1 ' ! ' J
. If our farmers and stock-raisers desire to
become prosperous, it is necessary that they
should have the best possible meanB afford-,
ed them for bringing the results of their in
dustries to a ready market. Tq' ihem we
say. iWilmineton presents rre'aleTt advant
ages than' any other place in our State, It
is almost the only place in the State that
rises to the proportions of a respectable
city, and certainly the only one on the
coast ' Situated as it is; in a section of the
country, where, the necessary productions
for the sustenance, of, life do not flourish in
luxuriant profusion as they do in the unner
.portioBiiof the" Stalest neeessarily opens
a njarRei ior our pracrucu, anq piacea
our producing qlasses-in a condition' to

- It is claimed by some that it will ruin our '
State roads ad 0 "other parts 6f-the St'ate

rect ion of VV iliuinaton. -- We tbihk this does
' not necessarily follow.: , If sueh . , was,; the
case, we know that every community looks
l more or less tb its ' own local advantages.
No place east' or Wnmjngtou offers any
extra inducements to !he people ' of the'
.West. The result -of Uarowgtt line from
