A -wagon load of manufactured to
bacco belonging to Dr. W. A. Lash,
of Walnut Cove, Stokes county, was
seized in Kingstree, S. C, a few
weeks ago, by a revenue officer by
the name of E. W. Ferris. John W.
Jones, who was trading for Dr. Lash,
insisted that there was nothing
wrong about his tobacco, but Ferns
contended that the stamps were too
old, but as Jones didn't scare any
on that charge Ferris changed his
ground, and said that the stamps
were not properly cancelled. The
night after the arrest was made
a proposition was made to Jones
by two men, named Benjamin, mer
chants in Kingstree, to compro
mise the matter. Jones told them
that his tobacco was all right but
that he would be willing to pay fif
teen or twenty dollars rather than be
troubled., but Ferris' asked $250 and
five boxes of tobacco. Jones de
clined to give it, but finally agreed
to give $200 and two boxes of to
bacco, which the revenue officer ac
cepted. The money and tobacco
were paid. Jones made an affidavit
of. the tacts before a trial justice in
Kingstree, and Dr. Lash has entered
suit against the two Benjamins, the
revenue officer Ferris, and a man
named Ficbner for the recovery of
the bribe money and tobacco and
$2jOpo damages, and will also enter
suit against them for conspiracy.

A writer in the Magnolia Re
cord, from Sampson county, gives this
gloomy view of the school question in that
section: We have no schools at all in ope
ration and it is distressing, indeed, to see so
much ignorance and superstition in the
land. Some people rely entirely on the
public school fund to educate their chil
dren, and sometimes I am almost persuaded
that it would be best if the system were
abolished entirely.
Greensboro Central Protestant:
The Durham lobacco Plant forfeits none of
its claims to good judgment when it pro
nounces the Wilmington Stab one of the
best dailies in the State. We knew that, a
long time ago; and yet the Star is on the
march of improvement. It is a paper we
always read, and always find'in it a sur
prising fullness of news. The arrangement
throughout is capital. The only objection
we have to the Star is that it allows so
much thieving to prevail in Wilmington.
Raleigh News: There is "con
firmation of the news published in this pa
per, yesterday morning, of the purchase of
riessec & Ohio Railroad by the North Caro
lina Railroad. We understand that the
judgments heretofore alluded to were pend
irg, and the road was about to be sold,
when the North Carolina Railroad Compa
ny stepped in and took them up, thus pre
venting the road from going to sale, and
passing, perhaps, into the bands of fo
reigners. It is necessary to say that in
preparing our news matter we never regard
parly or prejudice. We aim to give credit
when we copy the language of a contem
porary. As we go through from twenty to
forty columns of State news daily, we have
to condense greatly so as to gather the most
important items in a compass of a column
or so. Sometimes we compress the jist of
a local within three lines thai occupies three
or four squares in the original paper. It is
a very different thing to copy an article
bodily and give no credit. The Wilson 22s
press is mistaken as to any purpose of the
Star to ignore it or any contemporary.

N. C., SATURDAY,
THE STORM.
A Severe Gale from the East Fearful
Gusts-Its Origin and Velocity
Wires Down-slight Damage in the
City, &c.
A terrible storm of wind and rain raged
all day long yesterday in this city and vi
cinity, but doing no material damage here
abouts so far as we have yet ascertained.
Mr. Seyboth, of the Signal Station, informs
us that the storm commenced at 6 o'clock
in the morning. The highest velocity at
tained by the wind was forty-two miles per
hoar, at 10 o'clock in the day. The wind's
direction was east throughout. The mean
velocity during the day was about thirty
six miles, but the gusts were of much su
perior force, say about seventy miles per
hour. The total rainfall during the day
was two inches and nine-hundredths. The
cautionary signal was hoisted at 7 o'clock
Thursday night, which may have had some
thing to do with the return of the small
schooners referred io in anotber para
graph in this issue, the signal being
displayed eleven hours before the begin
ning of the gale. The storm originated in
Southwestern Texas two days ago, and
moved slowly towards the South Atlantic
coast, being central at Savannah, Ga., at 7
o'clock yesterday morning, or one hour af
ter it first touched at this place. The sig
nal telegraphic line between this point and
Smithville went down about 10 o'clock in
the morning, previous to which time a very
severe gale had been reported as raging at
the mouth of the river.
The gale was fearful along the lines of
the wharves, and very little business was
transacted. The steamship Raleigh, Cap
tain Oliver, went down the river in the
early part of the day, but it is not at all
likely that she went to sea. The steamship
Benefactor, Captain Jones, which was to
have sailed at noon, was still at her wharf
late in the evening, and was expected to
stay there until the storm abated.
A large number of fences were wholly or
partially blown down and trees uprooted
or partially stripped of their limbs during
the day. W,e noticed a tree prostrated near
the corner of Dock and Second streets, one
on Front, between Chesnut and Mulberry
streets, one near the corner of Front and
Red Cross streets, and one on Third.
There were doubtless many others. The
tin aorarioa.au blown iroan the roof at m
dwelling in the neighborhood of Third and
Ann streets, audfrom a portion of the
building on Front, betwen Dock and Orange
streets, formerly occupied by Messrs. Bin
ford, Crow & Co. A heavy board was
lifted from the roof of a building on North
Water, between Market and Princess
streets, and came down with a crash on the
rock pavement in the middle of the street,
narrowly escaping a drayman who was
passing at the moment. A number of glass
in the windows at the City Hall were shat
tered, and some were blown out of the
Court House. Generally speaking, bow
ever, the damage in the city was compara
tively slight.
We expect to hear of many disasters to
vessels along the coast
Discovery of Stolen Property.
Yesterday afternoon, between 4 and 5
o'clock, a youth by the name of Patrick
McElvoy called at the City Hall and lodged
information to the effect that he had dis
covered a box of books hidden in the
bushes back of a hill at a point between
Second and Third and Brunswick and Bla
den streets. He also reported that the top
had been knocked off the box, and the
books were in a damaged condition from
being exposed to the rain during the day.
An officer was sent for the box, and it was
carried to the City Hall, where it will be
held until the owner comes forward, and
claims and identifies it. It is a box of con
siderable size, packed full of new school
books of various descriptions, such as
spelling books, readers, grammars, geogra
phies, histories, arithmetics, school cray
ons, etc. The box is marked to the ad
dress of "J. A. McAllister & Co.,
Lumberton, N. C; care of R. R. agent
at Wilmington." It is supposed that
it was stolen from one of the rail
road cars, and that the thief or thieves,,
upon getting it as far as the place where it
was discovered, concluded they would open
it and ascertain the extent of their prize,
and upon finding that the box contained
nothing but books, and not being seekers
after knowledge, but what they would con
sider of much more value, they came to
the determination to leave it, with its con
tents, and go and search for something
more adapted to their wants and inclina
tions. Some of the books are rendered
almost valueless from exposure to the
weather. m m m
A. Runaway.
The horses attached to the Southern Ex
press wagon got frightened yesterday morn
ing and started to run away. They were
sailing down Princess street before the
wind, going rapidly in the direction of the
river, and it was thought at one time that
there might be a serious catastrophe, but,
luckily, they were baited at the intersec
tion of Princess and Water streets, by the
prompt action of a colored individual, and
the threatened danger was averted.

This great actor played at Norfolk Thurs
day night to an immense audience. Both of
the Norfolk papers say he fully sustained
his fine reputation, and that the supports
are in the main good. The Virginian says:
"Although expectation had been aroused
to its highest pitch by the fame of that
celebrated gentleman and the encomiums
heaped upon him by the press, yet we think
we are safe in asserting that his rendition
of the character last night was in keeping
with his reputation, and fully attested his
worth as an actor of the first calibre. The
declamation of the famous charge to the
English soldiers before Harfleur was a fine
specimen of art, with a trueness to nature
which rendered it the more inspiriting, and
his manner of rendering the love scene in
the last act, where he wooes the Princess
Catharine, is a gem of comedy acting
which we have never seen surpassed.
In soliloquy Mr. Rignold is also very
fine. In short, we would say that his acting
throughout the play was fully up to what
was expected of him, and that all that has
been said of his kingly manners and mar
tial bearing was fully verified.
The stage setting was elaborate, and all
the paraphernalia of war, necessary for tbe .
presentation of tbe piece, was displayed. 1

while Mile. Dockrill was engaged in riding

The audience was greatly excited, but
when the brave woman mounted his back
again, the admiration of the audience for
her pluck was unbounded, the entire au
dience applauding her vociferously. The
applause had hardly died away when the
horse again stumbled and threw her a se
cond time, more violently than at first. The
admiration of the audience ceased at this
point, and they became alarmed for her
safety. She, however, mounted his back a
third time and accomplished the feat

of a gentleman on Front street yesterday,
while the storm was at its height, who,
when a sudden gust of wind turned bis

with it until it was a complete wreck, then
threw it down and stamped it with a pa

Db Schenck's Standard Remedies. -The stan
dard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonie, and Schenck's Mandrake Pills, and if taken
before the longs are destroyed a speedy cure is ef
fected. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment or pulmonary aiseases .
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expecto
ration, lor when the phlegm or matter is ripe a
ht cough will throw it off, the patient has. rest-
and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and li
ver. ScueacK's Mandrake Pills act en the liver, re
moving all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the
bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring. It as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
nealtny condition, so mat ue rood and Pulmonic
Syrup will make good blood : tnea tbe lungs
heal.
and the patient will surely get well if care & taken
to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either per
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every
Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.
