A (Tec tine incident. Raleigh Observer. Quite an affecting little scene was witnessed at the Penitentiary yester day morning. Benbury Floyd, of Chowan county, aged about sixty years, was convicted of a trivial lar ceny in 1873, and sentenced to four years' imprisonment. He had been a good soldier and lost a leg iu the Confederate service, and was said by his neighbors to have been a kind hearted and obliging man. He had no wife, chiek or child in the world except a little blind daughter, about 15 years old, who was in the Blind Asylum. Last week Superintendent Gudger came to Gov. Vance and told him the condition of this little girl, and that having been in the Asylum the full term which the law per mitted, she would have to be dis charged, and he did not know what to do with her, as she had no home or friend to go to, except this poor felon father. The Governor promised at once to pardon him if Mr. Gudger would provide the requisite papers. This week those papers arrived from Chowan, the pardon was issued, and Mr. Gudger, placing it in the hands of the, little girl, went with her to the penitentiary to liberate her father. The scene between father and daugh ter is said to have been melting in the extreme. She could not see the felon's stripes and the haggard prison look, and he, poor man, could look with pride and fondness upon the fair but sightless face of his child; some thing pure and innocent still loved bim. Throwing themselves into each others' arms they wept uncontrolably. Alter a little, hand in hand they went away, amid the hearty sympathies of all who saw them, the erring and the helpless. May love for his child make him a better man, and the innocence of the daughter atone for a father's sins, and may God help both.

The Board met in special session yester day afternoon, at 4 o'clock; present, His Honor the Mayor and all the members. Alderman Flanner rose to a personal ex planation. As Chairman of the Executive Committee that reported at the last meet ing he had been led into an error through a paper which he had received from the Board of Audit, and he wished to correct it. The report had stated that there had been ten detectives in the employ of the city at an expense of $4,000 per annum. The fact was that, though were ten detec tives, they were not all employed at the same time. The committees charged with reporting recommendations for members of the Po lice force and Captains and Sergeants of Po lice, Market Clerk; anrtors, Ski., eported, and the same was received. Alderman King moved that the Board go into executive session. Lost The Mayor asked to be excused from vo ting during the several ballots.

W. Mintz. Alderman Flanner stated that the com mittee on Police, &e., deemed it advisable to obtain the sense of the Board as to whether the Health Officers should be elected by the Board or appointed by the Mayor and city physician. It was decided that they be elected by the Board. Alderman Foster offered the following resolution: that it is the sense of this Board that as near as practicable one half the po lice force be white and the balance colored men ;and it was also resolved that no increase of the police force be favored, on the ground of a depleted treasury and the heavy burden of the present taxation.

That Battery. Princess street presented quite a warlike appearance yesterday, during the mount ing of the new battery of the Cape Fear Light Artillery. Some one suggested that the Cape Fear was the Danube, and that we "Russians" were getting ready to repel an attack from the Turks, who were prow ling about in the swamps on the other side. The battery is a very fine one, and guns, carriages, caissons, &c, are all in ex cellent order. They have been stored in the building next to Currie's livery stables. The company, we learn, will commence drilling at once, and about the 4th of July we may expect to hear Captain Planner's beauties speak for themselves. Taken Seriously 111 at the Court House.

On Tuesday morning last a colored indi vidual applied to Capt. R. P. Paddison, at Point Caswell, for work, but that gentle man had reason to suspect the fellow of being an escaped convict and he therefore had him arrested on suspicion, sending to Sheriff Paddison for a pair of handcuffs. The officer put him in irons and placed two white men to guard him. About 11 o'clock that night he asked one of the men to give him a drink of water, and as he turned to do so the prisoner grasped the gun, wrested it from the hands of the guard and knocked him down with the butt end of it. He then cocked both barrels on the other guard and walked backwards out of the house, telling the man that if he followed he would shoot him. After getting out of the building he made his-escape across the bridge over the Black River and has not since been seen. The man Pridgeon, who was kuocked down, was quite seriously hurt, though his injuries are not considered dangerous, his condition being somewhat improved Wed nesday morning. He made a very narrow escape. The colored man, whose name is Hay- ward Lee, and who may have been arrested ere this, as the irons were securely locked on him, is thus described; Six feet high, stout built; black and rather busby hair; full black whiskers; stammers a little in speech; has a small scar on the right breast; and also one on the forehead; had on heavy brown woolen coat, light homespun shirt, and pants, the latter badly worn about the knees; had in his possession a fine double-barrel .shot-gun, nearly new, with steel mountings.
