He was put out, and upon leaving, as the MJepress tells, be drew a revolver and nreu on a young man by the name of Odell, from Concord, whom he supposed to oe me doorkteper. Fortunately, the ball struck the door and glanced off, doing no barm. However, just as : the pistol nreu, a miser ably intoxicated person, perched high on oue of the seats within, lost his balance aud fell heavily to the floor. Of course tbe pistol report and almost simultaneous fall of tho drunkard, impressed every mind with the idea that some one bad been shot, and for awhile they had old Cain around there. !

One of the immediate fruits of the pas sage of our new city bill by tbe Legislature, is found in the breaking up of the coloniza tion enterprise upon : which some of our Radical and Greenback friends have been engaged for the past several months. There was a rumor upon the streets last night of the discbarge of a score of. more of hired colored tenants, whom, a prominent dusky Greenbacker bad caused to squat upon tbe Fourth Ward. Our information is that these interested parties were highly indig nant at being summarily .ejected from their lodgings. They complain that they bad a good' place to sleep before this offer of pay ment to change their, lodgings, and now they have neither where to lay their heads. nor pay for the-time engaged. The late abode of this squatter colony.we are told, is the premises where the Greenbackers have been wont to congregate when discussing the affairs of the nation,generally and their chances of control of tbe city government particularly.

Reliable parties from Core Sound, in Carteret county, report that some Northern Nimrods have been killing ducks in that section by the" wholesale during the pre sent winter, using for the purpose "sni vels" carrying several pounds of powder. With one of these weapons they succeeded in one instance in killing six hundred ducks atone shot, besides crippling about one nunarea ana nity. it was very nrooer that the Legislature should place restric tions upon sportsmen that should prevent such wholesale slaughter of game. Tbe Palmetto Regiment. j One of the survivors of the famous Pal metto Regiment, now residing in this city. says that the item in the Stab of yesterday, founded on a paragraph in a Charleston paper, to the effect that there are now only eight members of the regiment living, is a mistake. 'He can count that" number that belonged to his own company. In 1876 thirty survivors of the regiment bad a re union in Charleston, and only one of that number is known to have died since thee He considers the number of survivors con siderably above thirty. ; Steamer Burned. Messrs. Atkinson & Manning, insurance agents of this city, received a telegram yesterday afternoon, announcing the burn ing, at Newbern, Of the steamer Deer. She was insured for $6,000 in the Fire Associa. tion of Philadelphia,, and was reported to be insured here for $5,000 with. Messrs. Atkinson & Manning, but this is a mistake. We understand that tbe steamer alluded, to was built here and sold to parties in New bern. 'I Sllxbt Change of scbedule. The schedule on the Carolina Central Railway will probably be slightly changed. in a few days, but we are informed by the Superintendent that there will not be more than half an hour's -difference between tbe nresent and the schedule nronosed aa to the 1 time required to make the trios.
