note one or two of the corrections.
Marian Evan was not the daughter of
a minister of any kind. When she
and the late George H. Lewes deci
ded to "unite," they ran away to the
Continent, and when they returned
they lived together. Lewes' lawful
wife was still living. Lewes and Ma
rian were newer lawfully married.
They never lost oast by their adulte
rous connection, for such it appears
to have; been. George Eliot has not
laid aside her pen. She sorrows
"muchly" over the other George's
death. He is a Coraptist an Ag
nostic. She is literally Godless, un
lets Humanity may be oailed a god.

was called to the prevalence of a habit

of prescribing for patients

members of the Board stated that cases haft
come under their personal observation,
which shewed that the most serious , results
had come from this practice in some in
stances causing injuries to the system of in
dividuals from which they never would re
coverand further that the practice was
prevailing to an extent which had hitherto
been aakaowrj. In consideration of these

down to Alamance last week to attend the
sale of the personal property of the lateD.
W. Kerr, one of the largest farmers .in the
county. The sale lasted through three
days, and wasJhw btegest thing of the kind
seen in North Carolina since the antebellum

An Important Catae for tbe Criminal f

Some months ago Mr. 8. B. Ne wsome, a
resident of South Carolina, it is at J

borrowing between $3,000 and $4,000 from
Messrs. Kerchner& C alder Bros., be re'
presenting to the firm that he was worth
property to the amount of beat $40,000
unincumbered. It subsequently transpired,
as it appears, that the property alluded to
hod been transferred lo parties in Charles
ton under a mortgage previous to receiving
the amount from Messrs. Eerchner & Cal

document, and a requisition from Gov.

to put in an appearance, came upon
the ground. Tbe efforts of the firemen
Were at once directed to saving the pro

Ihey labored at great disadvantage, but
were successful in keeping tbe flames from'
tbe brick office, the immense piles of rosin
in the yard, and the wharves and shed of
Messrs. Worth & Worth, which at onetime
were seriously endangered , when she ware
house of tbe Messrs. Sprem, next the river,
was ia s blase, and which was reported to
contain some 800 barrels of spirits of tur
pentine. At Ibis time, also, tfio British barque
Zephyr, awaiting cargo, had a nsrrow
escape, her stern and side next to the wharf
being badly scorched. She had attempted
to pull out, but fooled with another barque,
when it was impossible to extricate her.
The tug Wm. Nyee came to their assistance,
however, and managed to tow both vessels
out of farther danger.
It was impossible at the hour to obtain
an estimate even of the toss. The saw mill
and a great quantity of lumber belonging
to Messrs. Colville & Taylor were con
sumed, ail the new and improved ma
chinery of the planing mill of Messrs.
Price & Altaffer, and a large warehouse and
a quantity of naval stores belonging to
Messrs. Sprunt & Son.
At this hour, 3 A. M., the fire Ib pretty
much under control, being confined to the
piles of lumber in the yard attached to the
mill, the faastpinn oottrwi compress, next
to Messrs. Colville & Taylor, fortunately
escaping, being protected by stout brick
walls and a favorable breeze from the
northeast.
Since writing the above we learn that
the property belonging to Messrs. Sprunt
& Bon was f uliy covered by insurance, (he
naval stores hy "floaters," and the ware
house and wharf by policies in companies
represented by Messrs. Atkinson & Man

and energetically under the direction of
their efficient Chief, and are entitled to
