NO. 139. The Raleigh Observer informs as that the Agricultural Department only drew $1,000 from the taxpayers of the State. Very well. We make th6 correction willingly. It costs, nevertheless, $15,000 a year, a earn which could be more wisely expended, and more aubrooriatelv expended . a - 4 too, as we take it, in other directions. The Observer says: "The Department is run on 500 license fees charged and Daid for that Durnose bv fertilizer manufacturers, of Baltimore, chiefly. Generally, it is held, that the tax comes out of the consumer at last. But it has not been so in this instance: The es tablishment of tbe' Department led to a saying of about $100,000 per annum in the prices paid for fertilizers and an increase at least as great in the value of the articles put upon me market. " If the $100,000 could not be saved without machinery that costs $15,000 annually to run it, we might think better of the plan. The following U. S.

A revival is in progress in Chapel Hill under the ministry of the Rev. A. C. Dixon. The interest is on the increase. Mr. Mc- Gehee, the member from Person, was enabled to-day for tbe first time to take his seat as a member of the House. He was recognized with much significance. He gave his first vote against the proposi tion to submit tbe public debt question to a popular vote. He is still quite feeble, but 1 hope will improve. The bpeaker at once assigned him a position on three of the most important committees the Judi ciary, Finance and the Public Debt. The Biblical Recorder is in mourning for the saintly and gifted Win- gate. Elder Pritchard furnishes a warm and touchmg obitual. We copy a most affecting paragraph: "Just before he breathed his last, bis beloved physician in formed me, he seemed to be conversing with the Saviour as though he was perso nally present with him, and said: 'O! how delightful it is. 1 knew you would oe witn me when the time came, ana 1 Knew it would be sweet, but I did not know it would be as sweet as it is.' All that day his face shone as did that of Moses when he came from the presence of God in the mount,and when tbe supreme hour came the glory or God overshadowed that sacred chamber where the good man met bis fate." Raleigh Observer: Collector Young's Revenue raiders have captured six or seven stills in Orange county and are still on the war path. We expect big items unless the festive moonshiners scalp the whole kit of them. . The teachers of the State will, we are sure, be pleased to learn that the General Assembly has, with singular unanimity, passed an act continuing tbe University Normal School. Not a voice was raised against it, either in the Senate or House of Representatives, a fact which reflects great credit on their de sire to promote the educational interests of the State.. We learn that the school will be opened at the usual time in June. Quite a number of our North Carolina ex changes are misled as to the amount of the State debt. If the compromise act be accep ted by tbe bondholders tbe debt will be about $7,000,000. Tbje North Carolina Railroad ''Construction bonds" are not in cluded in that act, as they have to be pro vided for in lull.

Charlotte Observer: The Lincoln ton News says Mr. John Whitener, who lives in Catawba county has a hair growing in one of his teeth, it is certainly a strange place to yield a hair, and it is the 'bos' phe nomenon of the season.

The friends of the measure are also working. There was a party here yester day with a machine for testing the quality of blood in a person's system. At last ac counts one of the Sheriff's deputies was after him to test thematter as to whether he could show a license. We are requested by James A. Lowrey to state that the use of his name as an officer of the Tar Heel Pleasure Club, a list of which was published in yesterday's Star, was unauthorized and without his consent, and that he is beilher an officer or member of that organization . The anxiety of the friends of Henry E. Orr, Jr., was? relieved yesterday by tbe announcement that the schooner Eva, Captain Shelley, on which he was a passenger, had arriveiat New York. The vessel cleared from here on the 13th ult, and was consequently exposed to tbe late storms by which so mapy vessels have been wrecked. f Another Party Under Suspicion. Mayor S. G. McLendon, of Thomasville, Ga., writes: "Last Saturday, March 1st, the City Marshal brought to my office a copy of your paper giving an account of a rape committed upon Miss McDuffie by a negro named Eli Bethune. He also brought under arrest a negro who gave his name as George Wilcox, who had a scar on his left cheek extending from;the corner of the eye downward, was just enough cross-eyed for it to be noticed, and was a bright mulatto in complexion. In these points he pre cisely answered to your description of Eli Bethune. This negroGeorge Wilcox, was, however, much larger than you describe Bethune to be, his height being about ten feet ten or eleven inches, and his weight being, I should judge at least one hundred and seventy-five pounds. I questioned him very rigidly for nearly an hour, and became satisfied, from his accurate and mi nute acquaintance with persons and places in this section, . that he could not be tbe guilty party. Still, as it is barely possible he may be, I write glvingyou this infor mation for what it is worth. George Wil cox is somewhere on the line of the A. & G. R. R , and is within reach either at Dixie or Whigham. If you think it likely that this is the negro, let me know and can procure his arrest." A Bis Display. j One of the largest displays of the skins Of wild animals we remember to have seen was made by a resident of Brunswick yes terday morning, in : the neighborhood of Market and North Water streets. His stock consisted of the hides of eighteen otters, nineteen coons, threef foxes, two wild cats and one mink, and he wanted in the neigh borhood of one hundred dollars for them.

Of the company, Mr. J. N. Rentfrow proved himself a capital Ethiopian Comedian, as a negro minstrel is now termed, and Mr. Charles S. Rodgers evinced decided histrionic talent in some of his imitations of eminent actors. Mr. Rentfrow kept the audience laughing al most continuously by his excellent charac terization of Claude, a negro servant, and Miss Mattie Yickers was repeatedly ap plauded for her successful efforts in differ ent impersonations.. The acrobatic feats of the Milton Jaspers were wonderful and the most difficult we have ever seen, per formed with astonishing ease and rapid ity, and deservedly received a hearty en core. I To-night the company close their en gagement jn this city, when there will be an entire -change of programme. Aside from the merits of the performance, the fact that it will probably be the last enter ment at the Opera House this season should and doubtless will attract a large audii ence. f To-Day's! Indications. For the; South Atlantic States, partly cloudy weather, northeast to southeast winds, with slight change in temperature and barometer, are the indications for to day. ! More Heart. A good joke is told at the expense of our mill men. i One of our country friends had a raft at one' of the wharves a few days ago, and a prominent dealer went down to take a look at it. . It did not meet his ex pectations, and, jumping on the wharf in apparent disgust, he 6aid to the owner of the raft: !"I don't want that timber; I wouldn't have it; it's got no heart in it." "Look here, mister," said the raftsman, "there is more heart in that sappy stock of timber, pointing to one of the pieces, than there is in all of the mill men of Wilming ton put together." Our friend had no more to say. Sent on for Trial. Francis Jones, colored, had a hearing before Justice Hill yesterday morning, on the charge i of concealing the birth of her infant, mention of which was made in our last issue, i Defendant was ordered to give bond in the sum of $300, justified, for her appearance at the next term of the Crimi nal Court, in default of which she was re manded to1 jail.
