XX.---NO. 47. sad Accident In central Park One Lady Killed and Another Fatally Injured. New York, May 13. Mrs. William C. Renwick and her little daughter, Miss Grace Fassitt, of Albany, and Mrs. Harriett McDonell, also of Albany, went out driving in a carriage, and when in Central Park the horses took fright and ran away. The sudden bolt of the horses threw out the driver, William Ryan, who sustained injuries which will proba bly prove fatal. Mrs. Renwick seized her child and jumped from thp carriage. She fell on her head, reqb dering her unconscious, but the chip escaped unhurt. Mrs. McDonell alto jumped from the carriage, and falling upon her back her head was crushed . . i i 11 a in, fracturing her skull and causing!, death. Miss Fassitt remained in the carriage until the horses were stopped and escaped unhurt. At a late hour to-night Mrs. Renwick was still un conscious, and it is believed that her injuries will prove fatal. Spirits Turpentine. Mr. Jas. S. Cobb, of Cleveland county, is dead. We return thanks to our brethren who have been good enough to say kind words for the Stak. Lincoln Progress: Our friend, Mr. John Mullens sold his crop of tobacco, raised on one and a quarter acres, in Hick ory a short time ago, and it netted him $125. Mr. Peter Epley, of Burke, aged 97 years, died on the 23d ult. The Blade sayspiis'descendaDtswill number over three hundred. He came from Pennsylvania six ty years ago. It was a tie between the "wets" and the "drys" at Lincoln ton, and the Mayor decided for the "wet8."t "And thir teen others all rise up and said they would take sugar in them." Burke Blade : An excursion train will be run from Salisbury to Henry's on Friday, the 18th inst., the proceeds of which will be devoted to the building of a Presbyterian Church in Newton, N. C. Monroe Express'. The election of David A. Covington, Esq., Mayor of Monroe, was a handsome compliment worthily bestowed. Mr. Covington is a young lawyer of our town, aged 24 years. --Lincoln Progress: We were shown last week, by Mrs. Dr. Brown, a lot of new Irish potatoes which grew in her cellar. They were large enough for table use, and grew in the sand wherein a lot of old potatoes were buried. Asheville Citizen: Our coun tryman, T. O.Roberts, Esq., of Stockville, planted last year three acres in tobacco. One barn full of the yield was frost-bitten, and the remainder was recently sold in this place to Capt. France, for $631, cash. Referring to the city circulation of the Star, the Morganton Blade is kind enough to say: " 'Twinkle, twinkle, little Star,' and may this Star continue to twin kle among her thousands of readers, and especially upon the Blade office, as we do not know how we could get up a decent 'State news' column without it. It is the 'newsyest' paper of the State." Lineolnton Progress : The noto rious J. C. Jenkins, of 'Charlotte, whoso grossly libeled Rev. J. C. Harris through the venal columns of the Raleigh Constitu tion, submitted his case at the last term of our court. It will be remembered that Jenkins tried to make political capital out of the alleged bad treatment of Mr. Enoch Woods during his last hours, and in doing so, like the rapacious hyena, he was rob bing the grave for a subject. Burke Blade: Several of our prominent citizens have been confined to their rooms the past week with spring com plaints more or less serious. We can only offer them the very broad sympathy of the New York Tribune, which assures us that the vital temperament is never so low as now.and that the warm dry June will sure ly raise the human thermometer over the figure at which it stands in the deceitful humidity of May. And all this is proved scientincally too. Wide Awake : Mrs. Rebecca Bledsoe Buxton has been appointed by the Grand Lodge I. O. Q. T. District Deputy Grand Worthy Chief Templar for the 8th district, composed of the counties of Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Cumberland, New Hanover, Moore, Richmond and Robeson. Officers and members of the several lodges desiring to communicate with the District Deputy's W. C. T. will send to her address at Fayettevttle, N. C. Lodges requiring the presence of the Deputy will please noti fy her to that effect. The Reidsville News, comment ing upon an extract that appeared in the Star concerning North Carolina tobacco, remarks: "We copy the above paragraph from the Wilmington Star, and call atten tion to our people to the fact that in every enterprise and. department of business the 'Old North State' is equal to the emergency. Bnt owing to the fact that her own sons are too modest, they have not faith in their capacity, to strike out in defence of ber rights. We regret that, by the acts of our own people, North Carolina raises the to bacco which, in many instances, gives Vir ginia manufacturers their reputation. This should not be, and we hope that our people will labor for the prosperity of our own State." Botton Hoot Shoe and Leather Mar Ret, May 12. The number of buyers in the market has materially increased, and the fall trade may now be said to have fairly begun. The season is opening earlier than ever before. The precarious condition of the leather market, and the possibility of a further sharp rise, accounts for this. Buyers are placing orders with more liberality than had been generally anticipated. Thus far the rise is $ 13 per case on wax and kip goods, with $2 the most com mon figure. This, of course, is in com parison with the prices of a year ago. Calf boots and shoes range from 8c to 12 els higher than a year ago. Shipments of spring goods continue slightly in excess of the same time last year. Since the 1st of January the excess has been 50,000 cases, bat a portion of this is rubbers. The leather market presents the same quiet appearance as last noted. Manufac turers continue to purchase from hand to mouth, but holders are firm. Rough leather is quiet but firm. Curriers purchase sparingly, but are not very well supplied. The Reformed Episcopal Church, in ses sion in Philadelphia, has resolved to elect a Bishop for Great Britain. . IVIOKJN 1JN U WILMINGTON, THE CITY. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Munsok & Co Cheviot suits.

There were no oases for trial before the Mayor's Court yesterday morn- .-Wtf tender our acknowledg- ments to Senator Merrimon for various public documents. There are about sixty-three retailers- of spirituous liquors in this city, of which fifty-tbree have already taken out their licenses for the preset "term." Sixty-three cases have thus far been transferred from the docket of the Superior to that of the Criminal Court, since the late session of the former tribu nal. It is reported that one of the overseers of the street hands is in the habit of punishing the meu under bis control, for what he considers infractions of duty or discipline, by tying them up by the wrists or thumbs. The matter should be inquired into. The Public School Fund. So far since the 1st of May, inst., Sheriff Manning has turned over $908 20 to the school fund of New Hanover county, being derived from the State tax on retail liquor licenses, which formerly had to be paid into the State Treasury. This amount, from this source alone, will probably be increased to something over $1,000. The amount to be paid to the school fund this year, from all sources, will probably reach in the neighborhood of $3,000. It will be seen that the liquor traffic is thus made to subserve a good purpose in at least one re spect. Our Colored military. S. W. Nash, Captain of the Cape Fear Light Infantry, has received a letter from Adjutant General Joues, covering a blank application for companyorganizalion, which he is to fill up properly with names of officers, &c, desired, which all his men are to sign; also a blank bond, to be. made for $3,000, being for fifty guns and fifty sets of accoutrements, upon the receipt of which the necessary commissions will be issued. Geo. L. Mabson, Captain of the Han over Light Infantry, has, we suppose, re ceived a similar communication. a-- The Dime Party. The Dime Party given last evening by the ladies of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, was quite a success. We believe this is the first dime party given here, though they have been in vogue elsewhere in the State. One dime is charged for admission, and one dime is the price for each article of fered for sale, which, refbllecting the usual church festival prices, is quite an apprecia ble reform, and we are glad to know that the ladies were successful in its introduc tion. The music last evening was delightful, some of the pieces being especially fine, among them "Auben's Overture to Mas saniello," piano duet by Mrs. Harris and Mr. Thorpe. The piano used on the occasion was kind ly furnished by Mr. P. Heinsberger. Our Fire Department lent in s New Hose, fcc. The three steam fire engines, the "A. Adrian," the "Little Giant" and the "Cape Fear," were out yesterday to test the new hose, consisting of two thousand feet, re cently received for the use of the Fire De partment. The test was a perfect success, and the fire engines acquitted themselves with great credit to each company, though the "Adrian" bore off the palm. The Cape Fear broke down and could not participate in the trial. The new hose (known as the Paragon hose), was manufactured by the Eureka Fire Hose Company, of New York, and through the entire length of two thousand feet not a drop of water leaked from it. The couplings are elegant, being nickel plated, out of special compliment to Col. Roger Moore, the worthy Chief Engineer of our Fire Department. An Outragaom Assault With a Deadly Weapon. A daring assault, with attempt to kill, occurred at the Lippilt place, just beyond the eastern limits of the city, on the old Newbern road, about 1 o'clock yesterday morning. It appears that Messrs. Thomas Shepard and Oscar P. Grant, son of Mr. R. H. Grant, of this ciiy, are staying at the place in question at present, engaged in truck farming. About the hour mentioned they were aroused from their sleep by the furious barking of the dogs and went to the window to see what was the matter, thinking some one was after the poultry They stood there for a few minutes, watch, ing very closely to get a view of the intru ders, when suddenly a gun was discharged at them, a portion of the contents, consist ing of some four or five buck-shot, striking Mr. Grant in the breast, one of them making quite a serious wound. There is at present no clue to the perpe trators of the outrage. J. L. Laxton was elected Mayor I of Morganton. N. C., WEDNESDAY, SI OA It D OF ALDERMEN. Proceedings lu'Speclal Session. The Board met yesterday afternoon in special session; present. His Honor the Mayor, and Aldermen olvilUj, Mitehell, Gardner, Katz and Adrian. The Mayor called the attention of the Board to the expected visit of a party of Western gentlemen and asked the pleasure of the Board in the premises; when, on motion, a Committee of Reception was ap pointed, consisting of the Mayor and two Aldermen, to be selected by His Honor, to extend to these strangers the hospitalities of the city. On recommendation of the committee, it was ordered that the sum of "$400 be appro priated toward the construction of a bridge ever the railroad at Sixth street, provided the balance of the amount required be first raised by subscription and paid to a suita ble committee. A communication was read from Mr. Norwood Giles, Chairman of the Board of Audit, notifying the Board of the organiza tion of that body, and calling attention to the act providing for said Board, and es pecially that portion of it relative to the levying of taxes; also a commnnication from the same relative to bond required to be filed by him with the Board as Commis sioner of the Sinking Fund, which was re ferred to the incoming Board. . Applications of C. S. Edwards, David Banks and Albert Erdniann, for positions on the police force, were referred to the in coming Board.

O, for a rope with noose prop erly tied for executing a convict, which dis agreeable duty, he says, he will have to perform next Friday. Sheriff Grice says he has bad no experience in such matters. Our Sheriff may be counted in the same category, though he made a narrow escape in the case of David Martin, the boy mur derer, for whom the gallows had been erected and the rope prepared, when the order came for the commutation of his sentence to imprisonment for life.

To be attractive is a duty which every lady owes to herself, to her do mestic circle, aad to society. Not only should she endeavor to please in address and in apparel, bnt, whenever possible, in complexion and in feature as welL Facial embellishment to to a lady as proper,; aad oftentimes as necessary, as are the adornments of her raiment, the artificial graces of her conver sation, of her demeanor, or other meretricious at tractions upon which depend so much of her do minion and influence over man. The woman who permits herself to become unlovely, who resigns herself hopelessly to the ravages of time, and the spoMattoa of her charms, visits upon her friends and admirers a sorrowful regret, that it becomes her to avert to the latest day. Of this social daty it may truthfully be said that she can best acquit herself by the use of Goaraud's Olympian Cream. No eth er preparation approaches this in excellence, in harmlessness and purity, or compares with it in the number of spontaneous testimonials that its virtues have elicited . its advertisement has hitherto been its merit, its recommendation by all that have used It, and not by sounding and pretentious advertising in the journals of the day.
