Commissioner Cassidey yesterday morning. It will be le- membered that Mr. Edwards was arrested Monday night on the arrival of tbe train, in response to a telegram from the party in Goldsboro upon whom the counterfeit was alleged to have been passed, and lodged in jail to await the necessary witnesses. Mr. W. T. Dortch, Jr., of Goldsboro, ap peared for the defence. The fact of the passing of the bill was admitted, but there was no evidence to show - that the defendant knew it to be counterfeit, and in the absence of any ap parent intent on the part of the accused to commit a fraud, and he having also proven a good character, the case was dismissed and Mr. Edwards went on bis way re joicing.

It is a ' devotion to' counti y that was lorh in them as they listened at their' mothers' knee 'to Erin's story of cruel oppression" and heroic struggles for freedom: that was confirmed !n them wiih rising manhood by daiiy com-' niuuion with the beautiful hills and his- toric valleys, the" laughing' streams and 8narkllDe lakelets, and with the thundering 8urf that beats against, the shore of ,thejr beautiful een isle of the seas and now in later life and in absence the sentiment of attachment has ripened into a passion, and in the ? light of memory I everything . con nected with Ireland takes on an unnatural lustre when Compared with their surround ings in the lands of their adoption.
