A Horrible Harder. Norfolk Landmark. Suffolk, Va., April 28. But a few days ago we had a ter rible murder in our midst. Now it is our misfortune to have to report another. On last Wednesday night, at the saw mill of William H. Gav, oitnated five miles from here, there was a murder most foul committed it seems ealousy was trie prime cause of the terrible deed. A negro woman, who loved anoth er negro better than she did her husband, determined to put the latter out of the way. bhe, therefore, on Wednesday night, as soon as her husband went to sleep, crushed his skull with an axe, and severed the head from the body. Suspicion at first rested upon three tramps who had been seen in the neighborhood; but, on examination, circumstances pointed to the woman. She was arrested and carried to jail, where she made a full confession, and says she was prompted to do the deed by another negro. THOJEl CITY. NEW AOVKRTISEiaENTX. E. G. Babkeb & Co. Lime.

The Board met at 8 o'clock p. in. ; pre sent, J. G. Wagner, Chairman, and Com missioners I. B. Grainger, B. G. Worth, D. Nixon and D. Holmes. The Board proceeded to levy the county tax for Schedule B and C, when it was or dered that in reading over the sections, as lieved by the State, where no objection is raised, the county levies the same tax as Is levied by the State. , The county levies were the same as the State, with a few exceptions, including the usual tax on railroad and canal companies, and a privilege tax of five dollars to be paid by all merchants and dealers of what ever nature, in addition to the ad valorem tax. Drummers, insurance and assurance companies, and charters of incorporated companies, are not taxed by the county. It was ordered that a committee of three be appointed to devise the best means for makingout the tax list, and providing for all other matter of detail in connection with the county tax. On application the following named per sons were granted licenses to, retail spirit uous liquors in tbe city of Wilmington and county of New Hanover: A Deuraelandt, D Towers, P Luhrr, Carl Mugge, A C Wes- sell, A B Cook, Mrs A K Heyer, George L Schutte, D Cartjohn, D Otten, John C Bor- neman, M Mully, John Haar, Jr, W M Col lins, J W Moody, John F Stolter, John D Doscber, C Schulken, C F Von Campeu, B H J Ahrens, William Furtrell, Henry Bosch, Wm Bosch, W H M Koch, Mrs Sarah Meyers, W H Grotgen, J H Grotgen, J F Rulfs, John H Hines, John W Gerdts, Carl Wessell, A D Wessell, Geo F Coline, H Ohlandt, G C W Muller, Jas Keegan, R H Eyden, M A Glamyer, R J Scarbo rough, John D Steljes.

A small box was discovered in a vacant lot, near tbe site of the old.Union Depot.on Sunday afternoon, containing the body of a colored infant, supposed to have been buried about two or three months ago. It was only about three or four inches below the surface of the ground, and became ex posed by the scratching of a dog. Circunv stances connected with the discovery of the body lead to the belief that there was something wrong about it, and Coroner Hewlett was to have held an inquest over the remains at a late hour yesterday after noon, but up to this writing we have not heard the result ' Magistrate's Court. Lizzie Wiggins, Lou Loftin and Mag Mc Koy, all colored, were before Justice Gard ner, yesterday afternoon, on the charge of disorderly conduct The first named was found not guilty, the prosecutor being or dered to pay tbe costs; the second was found guilty and committed for the costs, and the last named was found guilty and ordered to pay a fine of one penny and the costs. Before Justice Cassidey Richard Martin was arraigned on the charge ot cursing and abusing E. Slaughter, and was ordered to pay a fine of one penny and the costs. Morning WILMINGTON, N. C, TUESDAY, PILFERING AND SHOOTING. Two Thieves Detected In stealing Hogs One of Them Gets a toad of Buckshot Into his Body Condi tion of the H ounded man, &c. Considerable excitement was created in the neighborhood of Hilton, yesterday af ternoon, about 8 o'clock, by the .shooting of a thief who was detected in the act of carrying off a hog which he had stolen. It seems that Mr. T. A. Watson, who has his slaughter pen at or near Hilton, has in his employ a colored man by the name of John McKay, who has charge of the premises during his absence. Neill McKay, a little son of the above, happened to go near the pen about the time referred to, when he discovered two colored men, Jack Watkins and Marion Holly, butchering two of the hogs inside of the yard. He hastened to the house and informed his father, who seized a loaded gun and hurried to the pen, when he detected the two men making off 'with the hogs. Holly, as soon as be found that he was discovered, stopped and made no effort to escape, but Watkins continued on bis course. McKay pursued and or dered him to halt, but he paid no attention to the summons. He finally dis charged one barrel of his gun into the air as a warning, but that had no better effect, Watkins, who had in the meantime dropped the hog, continuing to flee with the hope of ultimately making his escape, when McKay, finding that no other course was left him, discharged bis gun at the rapidly retreating fugitive and lodged a load of buckshot into his person. Watkins even then tried to escape, but got mired in the swamp, and in the meantime, a police man having been sent for, Officer Savage arrived on the grouud and took charge of the prisoner, who was placed on a dray and taken to the guard house. Watkins' wounds were subsequently examined by physicians, who pronounced them of a very severe and painful character, though not necessarily fatal. At last accounts he was suffering intensely and was spitting blood. Holly is also in tbe guard house, the in vestigation, which would have taken place yesterday morning, having been postponed until Wednesday on account of the condi tion of Watkins. McKay gave bond for his appearance. The two hogs which were killed were the property .of Mr. Herman Hintz, and were in the keeping of Mr. Watson, Marion Holly, one of the parlies, being in Mr. Hintz's employ, and heretofore bearing a good reputation. Watkins also belonged on the premises, his work consisting in doing odd jobs andassisting in the butchering when ever his services were necessary. McKay disclaims any intention or expec tation of killing the man when he fired upon him, but says that a good many hogs had been stolen from the premises lately and he deemed that his own reputation was at stake. The Superior Court The Case of Jas. Heatou. In the case of the State of - North Caro lina upon relation of Thos. S. Kenan, At torney Genera, vs. James Heaton, Clerk of tbe Superior Court of New Hanover coun ty, a special verdict was rendered- In this verdict, it being admitted that defendant was absent from his office on the Monday of the preliminary election in the First Ward, as charged, it is slated, in substance, that the facts were established that the office was open and that the Deputy Clerk was in attendance, but that a room had been secured near the polling place in the First Ward, where defendant was engaged during tbe day, for transaction of probate business; and it was further established that all the probate business required to be transacted that day was attended to, and that the Deputy had instructions to send for Mr. Heaton to come to the office, or to send parties who had business to transact to the room referred to, at tbe option of such party. The jurors further say "But whether upon the whole matter aforesaid the said James Heaton hath for feited his said office as aforesaid in the plaintiff's complaint the said jurors are ig norant and pray the advice of the Court "And if upon the whole matter it should appear to the Court that he hath so for feited his office they so find; if upon the whole matter it shall appear to the Court that he bath not so forfeited his said office, then the the said jurors upon their oath do so find." Upon this verdict His Honor rendered judgment in favor of the defendant. KiilenalumeniM at SmliUviHe.

FROM SDIITHVILIiB. One of the Lost Pilots Found The Fu neral Portions of the "Wreck of a Large Vessel Washing of the Beach Graves Emptied of Their Dead Po sition and Appearance of the Sprunt mournful Memories, &c. A correspondent at Smithville "K. S." under date of the 29th, writes as follows: The body of Thomas Grissom, one of the five pilots who composed the crew of the ill-fated boat Mary K. Sprunt, was found yesterday by the pilot boat H. Westermann floating at sea, nearly nine miles out. They lowered the skiff and took the body on board, coming in immediately. It was very much disfigured and only recognized by the clothing. From the bruises on the chest it is supposed that he was at the helm; in fact, lashed to the cock-pit The funeral took place to day, at 10 o'clock. The ship ping all displayed their colors at half-mast, tbe bells tolled mournfully, and that poor body, so long ''hurled and tossed at the sea's command," found at last a quiet ha ven in the church-yard, never more to be disturbed until that great and dreadful day when the "trump shall sound and the dead shall rise." There are many incidents con nected with the great storm which might be of interest to your readers could the writer remember them all. The portion of the large vessel which came in from sea the day after the storm, part to Smithville,aud part to Fort Caswell beach, is a curiosity to the landsmen. The part on Fort Caswell beach, upon which the wreckers are at work, shows her either to have been a full-rigged ship or a barque at least a very large vessel, with three masts. She is covered up as high as fifteen feet with bright metal, and probably, when loaded, would dr&w sixteen and a half feet of water. All the bolts are brass, four, six and even eight feet long the knees are solid iron, and the outside planking, six inches through, and of stout pine, probably Norway pine. I send you a piece of oak um taken from her, which is by measure ment six inches wide. She must have been a staunch alxipl The portion in Cas well is the stern, perhaps fifteen feet or more long, and only two letters of her name could be made out; they are "T. O." A ship coming in a few days ago found the sails of a large ship floating at sea, and the captain took the top gallant sail off, and found it covered with sand, which shows that she was was wrecked on or near the Frying Pan Shoals. Perhaps it was the sail of the wreck now lying on the beach uot a single being left to tell the horrors of that dreadful night. Speaking of the great weight and size of some of the bolts, Mr. Pivcr tells that he once took a bolt from the wreck of the barque Tom Paine that weighed one hundred pounds. The beach at and near Smithville has been dreadfully washed away, and the graves of some sailors, buried far up, as was supposed, from the reach of the waves, washed away,, and a portion of the bodies, with some of the flesh still adhering, was found the day after tbe storm washed far up into the dam of the garden of Mr. An drew Bowers. One of the pilots tells me that the water around the Sprunt is very clear, and, seem ing calm. Tbey threw the line alongside, and found just eleven and a half fathoms of water. Far below they saw her white sails shining and torn into ribborns, the shreds floating gently with the motion of the sea. They brought in one of the hoops from the mast, which had evidently been cut with an axe, showing that tbey tried to clear away the wreck. This storm will long be remembered by the people of Smithville. The old pilots will gather around the firesides years hence, when the storm howls at night, and tell to the listening ears of the younger ones how nebly those poor "toilers of the sea" went forth to do their duties and nevermore re turned. As time rolls on itfll "Grow an old man's story, Upon our native shore; God rest those souls in heaven Who meet on earth no more. " Another correspondent, writing under date of yesterday, the most of whose letter is anticipated, says: "There is a singular coincidence, in one respect in the loss of Mr. Bensel and four pilots, some four years ago, and the present loss of the SprunVs crew. In the first case the friends were wavering between hope and fear for two months, and praying to God for tidings of the lost ones. Apparent ly, in answer to their prayers, God caused the sea to cast up the body of Mr. Brink man. So in the SpiuiWs case, after two weeks, God has answered the prayers of the widows and sent them as evidence the body of Mr. Grissom, forever dispelling any doubt as to the fate of the remainder of the brave men. "As these evidences, one after the other, come to view, illustrative of the perilous vocation of pilots, and of the mighty power of the elements, which has caused so much suffering, want and woe, it but adds to the public sorrow and grief of this little community, and to the general sympathy for the bereaved widows and fatherless children of those brave men who sacrificed their lives in the discharge of their duty. "To the appeals which have gone forth for tbe distressed ones, I earnestly hope that a generous and sympathetic public will cheerfully respond." Capt Potter was in command of the Henry Westermann at the time the body of Mr. Grissom was recovered. Thermometer Record.

THE CANAL PROJECT. Report of the Committee Upon the Plan Submitted by major Young. At the meeting held in this city on the 3d inst. concerning the construction of a canal, called the "New River Ganal," which, by utilizing the Northeast river to a certain distance, then taking a southeast erly, direction crossing several counties, i. e., Duplin, Pender.Onslow, Jones, Carte ret and Craven, opening into the Pamlico Sound, you appointed us, the undersigned, to report upon a plan, which was submit ted by Major Young, for the consideration of said meeting, and which reads as fol lows: "That when the New River Canal Com-lj pany shall have constructed eight (8) miles of tbe New River, and nine (9) miles of the Duplin Branch Canal, and said canals and water-way shall be thirty-five feet wide and give an unbroken depth of five feet below tide-level from the Northeast river at the Sand Hills to Penton's old field, upon said river; "And that when said canals shall be so located and constructed as to take off the overflow of the swamps, and overflowed lands upon the Northeast river from Ban nerman's Bridge to Burton's old field, the overflow from North Angola Bay, (Gum swamp), so that lands can be reclaimed for agricultural purposes by small plantation ditches; "And that when said Company shall se cure to the citizens of Wilmington local rates of toll upon said trunk-line canal and water way as constructed from Wilmington to a point of equal distance between Wil mington and Norfolk; "And when said Company shall mort gage to the citizens of Wilmington the seventeen miles of constructed canal, and said Company's rights, franchises and privi leges, and the half of all lands drained by said Company: ON THE SECOND PABT. "Then the citizens of Wilmington shall purchase from said Company $30,000 of said Company's ten year eight per cent first mortgage bonds, at par; "When said canal shall be extended to New river, then the said citizens shall fur ther purchase $20,000 of said bonds; "And when said canal is further ex tended to Pamlico Sound, said citizens shall further purchase $10,000 of said bonds, making in all $60,000, and no more. "Provided, however, that when said canal shall be completed to New river, said citizens shall release from mortgage the nine (9) miles of canal of the Duplin Branch Canal." And, accepting this charge, we have the honor of laying before you our views on this important subject. We are fully aware of the fact that the construction of a canal as proposed in tbe above plan will be an incalculable benefit to Wilmington, an immense area of tbe most fertile lands will be easily rendered susceptible of cultivation. Timber inexhaustible, naval stores beyond measure, our market acces sible to a large portion of a population who, until now, are making use of an outiet for their trade in an entirely opposite direction, that would swell our market with their products and with numerous other advanta ges that will truly give afresh and vigorous impetus to the trade of our city by offering us opportunities which are at present wrongly withheld from us. All these and many other reasons prompt us to pronounce ourselves decidedly in favor of construct ing the proposed thoroughfare. These are our views with reference to the eventful result of this enterprise. But in order to arrive at a successful termination of this very important matter, several ques tions naturally present themselves; First Is there any corporation or com pany already legally organized that has the entire management of this work in hand, and if so who are the parties constituting said organization ? Secondly, Has there ever been any sur vey made by skillful engineers, and is there any estimate that has been made in regard to it 7 We have no other resources at our dispo sition than what we could collect from Ma jor Young,-who informed us that he him self and Wm. R. Jones, of Raleigh, were the only parties that had managed the af fairs so far; that they had obtained a char ter from our Legislature some years ago, granting them several privileges, but did not grant them any public lands bordering on tbe said canal nor any other creeks. Maj. Young assured us that several coun ties would gladly extend to us pecuniary assistance and a large quantity of low-land, which would be drained through the me dium of said canal. One-half of it would be also surrendered to the company. These are about the most salient points bearing upon this important subject. For conside ration of all these facts, and before we can favorably report upon that portion of the proposed plan which pertains to the in vestment of $60,000, though as it appears the proposition seems to be for the money paid, resting on safe security, we would re speotfully suggest that a meeting be called in order to investigate the matter more thoroughly, the result of which will un doubtedly lead to the accomplishment of this desirable object Mr. Chairman, your committee have tried diligently to be in strumental in promoting an enterprise which, successfully carried out, will unfold advantages to our city, the neighboring counties, and consequently our good old State, of the greatest magnitude, and if the result of our investigation has not fully met with the expectations of our friends, who feel a lively interest in the matter, we beg them to believe that we were guided by the purest motive, and only lack of higher qualifications being the cause of our short comings. In conclusion, then, allow us to remark, that whatever may be the final re sult pertaining to the construction of the New River Canal, we would respectfully recommend Mai. Young to the kind con sideration of all those who shall have a leading voice in this matter; his untiring efforts truly deserve it J. Loeb, P. Heinsbergr, John Colvti-le. Wilmington, N.
