Thompson, some weeks since, in the countyof Orange, and fled the State. . Hillsboro ?ecp.r2e.V have not conversed with a single mau in Orange who is not warmly in favor of the election of magistrates by, the Legislature. They feel that they arc committed to this plan by their hearty support of the Constitutional Amendments, and are generously resolved to fulfil all their pledges made for the re lief of the East. Goldsboro Messenger : We ob serve a bill before the Legislature to allow certain cities in North Carolina to levy a tax for the maintenance of graded schools. We beg our Representatives to remember Goldsboro in this connection. We have long felt the need of a good graded school, and now give notice that, at the proper time, at no distant day wo hope, we shall advocate the subject . I . Concord Jiegisten . Mr. Peter Cox, of Township No. 2, raised this year six bales of cotton off of five acres of ground. Mr. Cox gave his ground a tho rough ploughing early in the spring, and manured it with the fertilizers from his sta ble, and gave the crop a thorough cultiva tion during the season, at the proper time, and the result of his good farming was about 2,800 pounds of liut cotton which he sold in Concord at 12 J cents per pound last Monday. , A Virginian writes to Father Evans for bis paper, the Milton Chronicle, and tries to pay him in compliments, but he could'nt quite come -it after that style. Father Evans tells him : We've quit tak ing subscribers on credit it doesn't pay. We are the best (ad)-Vance man now out, and we'll take the pay, if you please, ($3) before we send the paper, as We pay the postage on it. Tie it up in a rag and send by mail." j ! The members of the - Presbyte rian Church at Reidsville gave their pastor, Rev. Jacob Doll, a surprise party on Christ mas. Just read it as we find it io the Mil--ton Chronicle: A two horse wagon drove up to his house loaded with flour, pork, lord, butter, cheese, hominy, grits, honey, ripe, sugar, coffee, tea, canned fruit,canned mh, confectioneries, a handsome parlor lamp, one fine rocking chair, and then came also, from private individual bands, besides fowls, a multitude of good things on wait ers, in baskets, in buckets, jars and pack ages, and a handsome contribution from" the young ladies of the ReidsviHe Fcmah) Seminary. Col. John D. Cameron, Chief Clerk of the Senate, writes to his paper, the Hillsboro Recorder, as follows: "H is Ex cellency leads or would lead, if bis tem perament were not so buoyant a miser able life, beset as he is every moment of his existence by applicants for office. They come from every quarter and for every thing; with petitions as long as the moral law, and with certificates of qualification and character that would, if accepted on their face, pass every one of them up to a place higher than any now occupied by any one in office. No wonder the Governor halts and hesitates amid such a wealth of superior material. He has made but few appointments. There is mnch anxiety felt in regard to the appointment of the Super intendent of the Asylum for the Insane. Party exigencies may demand the removal of Dr. Grissom. Wise consideration for the welfare of the patients may urge hisre-i tentionand between the two ideas there is an irreconcilable conflict. For the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Mr. H. A. Gudger, thet present representative from Madison county, will undoubtedly be appointed. - '-L JE3I -tU CD ZC JO "ST. ; NEW advebtisehients. Munson Overcpats. S. Q. Northrof Fresh fruits. O.

C, WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 24, 1877; OPEBi IIOUSE. ;; j. The Concert Itmt NIcIit. The largest audience of the season as sembled at the Opera House last evening, in the face of a dreary, drizzling rain, which rendered sidewalks and street cross ings extremely disagreeable.to greet the best of Wilmington's amateur talent in a grand vocal and instrumental concert, under the direction of Mr. C. VanLaer. Everythipg passed off smoothly and ' nicely amid the frequent applause of the large audience, which left the hall at the close of the even ing's entertainment unanimously praising the whole affair. !! j Not.being able to discriminate judicious ly "where all did so well, and not being ex actly au fait in the "divine art," we will content ourselves with the general particur lars. - Thpse of trtrfr readers who wereit)t there missed a great treat, and those who braved the weather and were, present, we know feel fully compensated. In commojn with the audience we return our thanks; for the treat given us, and assure the ladies' and gentlemen who participated last night that their efforts are appreciated. p J From the indications quite a handsome sum was realized for the asylum at Oxford by the efforts of those engineering the con cert, upon whom too much credit cannot be bestowed for the grand success attend ing the performance. ;U Hr": 1 , m m m . !M ' Arret of an Alleeed Cotton Thief. Jack Hooper the watchman on Messrs. Worth & Worth's wharf. . having reported at the Marshal' office, yesterday, that a boat load of cctton had been discovered under the whar, at 'the foot of Mulberry street, under suspicious circumstances, Of ficer Lewis Gordon, qflhe police force, was directed by Captl Fitzgerald to go to the place designated and see what he coult make of it. He posted himself in a conve. nient spot, and soon the individual he had reason to believe had placed the cotton un der the wharf made his appearance, j The officer stepped up and commenced quesF tioning the , man, but he disclaimed any knowledge of the matter. It seems, how ever, that a man on a flat near by had seen this person, whose name is David Brown, together with another colored man, be tween 2 and 8 o'clock that morning, j take the cotton from another boat and place it in the one under the wharf. , The officer thereupon arrested Brown and on the ! way to the Guard House he confessed that it was his cotton, but declared that he purchased a portion of it, and the remain der he got "out of the liver." Upon exami nation, however, the lajer part of the story was exploded hy the fact that the cotton was all per fecUy tdry, except ' a small por tion of a few bags which got a little damp from being in the bottom ? of the boat. There were seventeen bags of the cotton in alii aggregating in weight from three hun dred and fifty to four hundred pounds, j Brown was locked up for a hearing be fore the Mayor's Court this morning. He Sayi It'iNotSo. We had a call; last evening from Mr. F. M. James, whose dead "corpus" was re ported to have been discovered in a branch at Myrtle Grove Sound a few days since, some mention of which was made in the Stab, j To all appearances Mr. James is the liveliest corpse we have seen for some time. In fact, he has decidedly improved. He came to let us know by personal obser- vation that he is still in the land of the liv ing, and we are glad to have the opportuni ty of recording the fact, though wekave never at any time placed much credence in the report that he had "shuffled off this: mortal coil." It turns out that he has nev er been to Myrtle Grove Sound at. all, but has passed the interval of his absence from the city with his friend, Robert Nixon, at Topsail Sound. The man who started the report ought to be "chugged" into that branch himself, with a "56" slung to his neck to keep him from " wiggling." Building Fires on Flats. Two colored men from the country, named T. Tate and Edward Harriss, were arrested yesterday morning, charged with baving large fires on their flats during Mon day night, contrary to an ordinance of the city prohibiting the building of fires on flats lying at any of the wharves. . The two men plead their ignorance of any such law, and it having been : shown that they put out the fires immediately upon being notified that they were doing wrong, the Mayor ordered them to be released, taking occasion, however, to warp them against a repetition of the offence. A Cure for Urdropbobla. . j ..Mrs. Jane Swisshelm writes to the Pitts burg Commercial concerning a recipe for the cure of hydrophobia, which has been known as the Chester Valley Cure. The ingredients are elecampane and new milk. The particulars of the origin of the cure she gives as follows: - Hi "In Chester county, Pennsylvania, lived a German named Emery, who used to be Sent for, far and. wide, when any one had been bitten by a rapid animal. He went to his patieBt carrying something under-r stood to be a root,, which be himself dug in the woods. , He milked a pint1 of milk, fresh from the cow, put the root into it boiled it, and gave it to the patient, fasting; made him fast after taking it; gave a se cond and third dose on alternate. day ud never failed in" effecting a core ?laotne way his secret transpired, and the root was known to be elecampane."

Robert Strange, one of ' the most prominent mem bers of the Wilmington Bar, had 'been stricken with paralysis ' It appears that about 12 o'clock Col. Strange rose to.his feet in the court room to' make some re marks to the Court in connection . with a case then pending,' and- had uttered a few words, when a paper which he held in his hand fell from his grasp to the floor. It was handed to him and be again dropped it, when it was noticed that his hands were trembling violently, an d that he was appa rently about to fall. Several members of the bar sprang to his assistance aad he was conducted ' ia a seat,' from which he was soon after removed to a lounge : in the County - Commissioners' room, adjoining the court room, from which he was! sub sequently taken to his residence in a car riage. He was speechless, but appeared to retain his consciousness, at least to a par-; tial degree. Eminent medical assistance was summoned to his bedside and every thing that science and skill can accomplish will be brought into requisition to prolong the life of one whose decease would prove' such a serious loss to the , community and the State. , ' i : .j' ; . :'s ' ' '".

M CoL S was still in a critical , condition, though he1 had, rallied a little and was thought to be slightly better. We sincerely trust that in our next we may be able to report that the crisis has passed. 1 ' s- Found Drowned A report comes to us from South Wash ington, Pender" county, to the effect. that a man named Samuel J. Boney, who was at that place on Monday, transacting some business, and where he got considerably under the influence of liquor, was subse quently found drowned in Mr. J. E. Riven back's mill pound, near that place. Our informant says it seemed as if he intended to take a road that led through the pond just above the mill. Deceased left South Washington after dark, which was the last heard of him until his: horse was found at the mill the followjog morning, when search was made for the body and it was recovered. The mill alluded to is about two and a half mile: from'South Washing ton. The horse was tracked to the pond and it was also discovered .where he had ascended the bank on the opposite side.' Mr.. John H&ar, Jr., who has just re turned from Burgaw. corroborates the above report in regard to the death of Mr. Boney. . ' - ''.''! ' j' A Juvenile Cotton Dealer In Trouble. A small colored boy by the name of Dick Gause was arrested yesterday after noon with a bag of cotton in his possession, which he said was picked from the ground where persons had been engaged in samp ling, but which from its perfectly clean ap pearance was believed by the officer to have been stolen: from some bale of the staple. The boy ha'd sold the cotton at a shop on Water street, and the bag was on the scales at the time, but the officer put an end to the transaction by marching the youth with; his cotton off to the Guard House, Thermometer Record.
