Mr. Johd Xichols, of Raleigh, N. C, is an applicant for the position of Collector of. Internal Revenue in the Fourth District of that State. He is 5 gentleman' of unimpeachable char acter and good business qualifications. He appears to be recommended by t&e best meti of the State," irrespec- who he expects to succeed .is Colonel Ike Young, fthci has" held the office of Collector for eight years. He is a weii-known jpoiitician, and ran for Congress last year against J. I. Davis, and was defeated by 1,600 majority. There are several, charges preferred against Colonel Young, viz: That he lias bestowed all the prominent posi ' tions be had on his relatives, and that Ms office has been carelessly man aged in that he has compromised technical oflences. against the revenue law by borrowing various sums of money from the offenders, amounting in me case oE a large tobacco firm at Barbara to $5,000, which sum, it is understood, Was never repaid oV ac counted for. j lie is strongly recom ffleiided by the bankers of Raleigh, wt it is argued that they hold his paper and want 'him retained until get the; books balanced.

Richmond Enquirer. BOARD OF IIKALTII. Clrcalar Ltdter to the Pbyklirlanit Ot North Carolina. 1 The following circular letter has been addressed to the physicians of the vartc us counties on an important public matter: Board of Health of North Carolina, WiLMixcTok IN. C, July 16th, 1877. I respectfulU call your attention to the Act of the General (Assem bly which provides for the organiza- tion or UDoaras ot iieaitn in eacn county in North Carolina. It will be seen that; it is necessary first' to or ganize a County Medical Association in accordance with the. Constitution of the State Medical Society, and having fulfilled this requirement your Association can j be constituted a County Board of Health. These auxiliary; organizations -are absolutely necessary to carry put the work? outlined by the Act of Assem bly, and the State Board relies with confidence upon their aid in this the beginning of State Medicine in North Carolina.! 1 i Blanks will be furnished in due course, with an alphabetical ! list of diseases, :by months, . to; secure through the Secretary. of your Coun ty Board! of Health a transcript of his recora 01 the deaths occurring in your coucty. . . ' . Special circulars, irom time to time will be sent out, asking for detailed statements of such questions aoout epidemics; endemics', and the sanitary condition ,01 your county, as win enable the Board to make their re port to the Governor. H- In addition to this, the Board will be pleased to receive reports upon any matter regaraing tne pupiic con ditions of health, the invasion of-epidemics, the soifrces of drinking water, and any other, matters which may I seem to them worthy of note, and for which due acknowledgment will be made to the authors. The work which devolves upon the State Board, because of insufficient means and limited powers granted by the General Assembly, can be greatly lessened by the aid which can so easily be given, by each physician in the State devoting the few. hours7 work necessary to procure the infor mation desired. With this aid State Medicine will establish itself as a part of- the necessary machinery of our State government, and command the respect and gralitnde of the pub lic; without this aid failure is sure to come upon us. Let no physician think his information too common place ; thej Board is not in search or wonders and abnormalities, Dut oniy for that information which will en able them1 to make out the geographi cal distribution of disease, and as far as possible make such a report as will inform lhe world! about the sani tary condition of North Carolina; but more especially to be able to point out f to ' her citizens .the best methods of preventing disease. . , ; Thomas F.

Arrest or a mall Robber A Desperate - ' lieap An Escape . and. tteeaptare. A man about 35 or 40 years of age, who gives his name as Conrad Houston, was ar rested yesterday on the charge of robbing the mail. It appears that he went to the postoffice yesterday afternoon and called for a registered letter for Gottfred May. The letter, which contained a money order for ten dollars, was delivered to the man, together-with the amount of the order, and he wnt his way. Shortly afterwards Col. Brink, the postmaster, discovered that he had been imposed upon, whereupon he lodged complaint with the Chief idf Police, and in fifteen minutes from that time Houston was arrested by officers Gor don and Davis at a boarding house on North . Water street , The prisoner was taken to the guard, house, but was soon afterwards turned over to Deputy U. S. Marshal VanSoelen, who had a warrant for his arrest from U. S. Com missioner Van Amringe, upon which he was lodged in jail. At 5 o'clock he was taken from jail and conveyed to the U. S. Court room to undergo a preliminary ex amination before Commissioner Van Am ringe. Deputy Marshal van Soelen, who had him in charge, carried him into the court room, where he left him for a mo ment while She held a brief colloquy with the Commissioner; on the verandah, and the instant that the prisoner found that he was free from observation he -sprang to a window on the west side of the building, opening into the yard, and sprang. to the ground, a distance of some fifteen or twen ty feet. A minute or two afterwards Offi cer Van Soelen missed his prisoner, started in pursuit, and was just in time to see him enter the alley leading from Second to Third street, running back of the Court House. The officer, who had been joined by N.' G. Sampson and one or two others, chased Houston through the alley to a blacksmith's shop, situated hear; the east ern entrance, where he was overhauled and captured. He was then taken back to the court room, when it was found that he bad sustained some quite severe bruises on his legs. - Owing to his condition, he being par tially intoxicated, as well as having sus tained considerable of a shock from the desperate leap he had made, thej Commis sioner' decided to postpone the investiga tion, until this morning at 10 o'clock, when it will take place in the U. S. Court room. Houston hails from Charleston, S. C, is a Prussian by birth, and was formerly in the Federal army. , Upon " calling for the letter in question he represented himself as Gettfred May, to whom it was addressed. 1 i 1 1 Tbe Exenrslon Yesterday. The excursion on the steamer Waccamaw, yesterday, under the auspices of the Whi ting Rifles, was quite a success, the be having as many on her ashe could conve niently accommodate, including the Whi ting Rifles, the Charlotte Grays, and the Cornet Concert Club. Dancing enlivened the passage, both going and returning, and many stopped at Smithville ' and "tripped the light fantastic" at the Academy, while the military and others visited Fort Cas well, bathed in the surf, &c. We are glad to learn that our Charlotte friends, especially, were delighted with their trip, the glimpse they had of '01d Ocean," and the specimen they enjoyed of its invigorating breezes. The boat arrived here about 7 o'clock, when the military marched to the armory, where cheer after cheer rent the air, three each being proposed for the Charlotte . Grays, the Wilmington Light Infantry, the Cape Fear Artillery, the , Whiting Rifles, Adjutant General Jones, Governor Vance, Major Engelhard, Attorney General Kenan, and others. ! - The Brnnawlelc Crops A Sirens Ar gument InFairor Deep of Plowing.

Early corn that has been properly worked is looking fine.. The greatest drawback is the stand. Cut and bad worms have been destructive. . Cotton is very small for the season. Dr. Bellamy, on his Grovely plantation, has one hundred acres of the finest cotton I ever saw, and of the most uniform standjand size. It would pay any city resident to ride over and take a look at it. Upon the whole, the pros pect is much better than was anticipated during the cold spring. People in this county are beginning to take Dr. Franklin's advice: . i. .- - v : ! 'Plouglfdeep while sluggards sleep, : I And have corn to sell and keep.' .

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.-No people in the world suffer as much with Dyspepsia as Americans. Although years of experience in medicine had failed to accomplish a certain and eure ;remcdy for this disease and its effects, such as Sour-Stomach, Heart burn, Water-brash, Kick Headache, Costiveness, Liver Complaint, Vet since the introduction of Gbbsn'b August Flowsb. we believe there is no case of Dyspepsia that cannot be immediately re lieved. Two doses will relieve you. Regular size t o ceil ia SCHENCK'S SEA WEED TONIC In the at mosphere experienced here during the summer months, ;the lethargy produced by the heat taken away the deBire for wholesome food, and frequent perspirations reduce, bodily energy, particularly those suffering from the effects of debilitating, dis eases. In order to keep a natural healthful activity of the system we must resort to artificial means. For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A few doses will create ah appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body. For dys pepsia it is invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be permanent ly cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea "Weed Tonic in its na ture is totally different from snch drugs. It contains no corrosive minerals or acids; In fact it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies.- The tonic in its nature so much resembles the gastric juice that it is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice' is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body causes the food to be digested, and when this juice Is not excreted iu sufficient .quantities, indigestion, with all its distressing symptoms follow. The Sea Weed. Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic -sold by all Druggists. . NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
