We learn from ih eg Raleigh News
that Lieutenant General Theophilas
H. Holmes is dead. This not uuex
pected event oocurrd on Sunday
last near FayettevilleJ He was the
son of Gov. JaWiel Holmes, and was
born in Sampson county in 1804. He
was graduated at WestPoint in 1828.
He won distinction in th Seminole
and Mexican wars. Injjihe war be
tween the States he rose to the rank
of Lieutenant General. After the
war he returned .to Nrth Carolina
broken in health and fortune, and
earned his bread by holiest toil. The
Nexcs says, from wluch we have
drawn our data : .1
"Better men than Gen. ifoknes are not
made. Gentle and affectionate as a woman,
he was bravest or the torave. The men
whom be led into battle in! Florida and
Mexico and Virginia thought bim 'born in
sensible to fear.' But in truth he was of
the highest type of the Christian soldier; he
loved bis neighbor and served God, and
always doing his full duty tabolh be walk
ed in the path of danger without fear if its
end should be in the presence of bis Ma
ker." 1
We regret to learn tha ori Mon
day night last, at bis homo in ; Hali
fax county, the venerableiand highly
esteemed Mason L. Wiggins, Esq.,
died, aged 84. A ; nsef nlj prominent
and public spirited citizen, an excel
lent neighbor,a genial and hospitable
friend, an honest and straight-forward
man has fallen on sleep. Mr.
Wiggins long represented his county
in tho Legislature, iu which be was
one of the most faitlifal, true and
conscientious worker?, exerting at all
times a sound, healthful influence.
Halifax county ia blessed with many
most estimable citizens, but none
better than the aged and venerated
gentleman who has ijust died. He
was the father of Messrs. Ojtavius
and Eugene Wiggins of this city.
Reader, do you relish a joke, a
very good joke, an exoellent joke in
warm weather? If so read the fol
lowing, and while you read hold your
sides. It is from that delightful
Stalwart organ that rejoicts in calling
itself the Philadelphia Press. Hear
the funny fellow; butj if you do not
mind he will ontlaugK you:

Thus far that is the best of the
season. Next. I
Some few months since a series of
articles on the late Rev. T. Gi Lowe
appeared in the St An. A supple
mentary article contained extracts
from highly interesting letters ad
dressed to the writer I by two gentle
men who had known that great ora
tor intimately. They have both
joined their friend in the world be
yond. We refer to Dr. Lafayette
W. Martin, who 'died recently at
Beaufort, and to theivenerated Ma
son L. Wiggins, of Halifax,; whose
lainentated death we announce else
where. They were all Methodists.
The Grst guesses of the enumera
tors as to the probable population of
North Carolina towns will not be
realized. Raleigh first talked of 14,
000. The last news; is that it will
not exceed 10,000. f Wilmington was
placed even as high as 22,000 or 23,
000. It will be under 20,000 proba
bly. But that will show a ; hand
some increase. In (1870 it was less
than 14,000. !
The Field men are not wise in
their generation. At Cincinnati they
sect through the streets a brais band
in a circus wagon, swathed in United
States flags, and with the legend:
"For President, Stephen J. Ftdd.
We Must Carry the Pacific Coast,"
on either Bide. They are doing some
very indecorous f and disagreeable
button-holding, mch to the disgust
of gentlemen. He will hardly wirj.
It baa narrowed down to Seymour, Field
and Bayard, seemingly. JBxchange.
It is Payneful to say that such will
not probably be the case. The Eng
lish of it may be another candidate, a
sort of dark horse as it were. We
will Seymour before this day ends.
It may, however, prove a Field-day.
A Bishop maybe the choice. But
who is wise enough to forecast what
even one day will bring forth? .

In reply to a letter from R. W.
Lassiter, of Oxford, urging - him in
behalf of many friends to agree to
have his name presented to he Re
publican Convention as a candidate
for Governor, Dr. Eugene Grissom
positively declines, and says :
"I will not affect to deny, as you inti
mate, that repeated chances of political ele
vation have, with unmerited favor, been
suggested by those for whom I have regard
and consideration. But I must repeat
what I have often declared, that from the
time when the care of the unfortunate in
sane in the State was assigned to me, I
have had no other ambition than to do my
duty in the line of my professional labor."

Gastonia Gazette: A little boy,
Joseph Frd, aged 6 years, was drowned
In South Fork at the Air Line bridge last
Monday, It seems a party of boys were
bathing and a colored boy was swimming
with the child on bis back when he slipped
off and was drowned.
The Columbia Register says :
"The North Carolina boys having failed to
win any of the prizes ai the tournament,
the members of the Palmettos presented
them with a handsome gold-lined silver
goblet yesterday evening. The present
was not intended as a salve to heal the
wounds of the defeated Hornets, but as a
token of the good feeling which Calumbi
ans must always entertain for the Char
lotte boys."
The Raleigh Post says Mr.
Julian S. Carr was defeated in the count
but "was the elected choice." It adds:
"Four years ago the choice was General
Cox, but the count was made for Captain
Jarvia. This time the people choose Carr,
but somebody or something else counts in
Robinson. Well, we won't make a fuss
about it Gen. Cox stood up to the rack,
fodder or no fodder, and now he goes to
Congress without a dissenting Democratic
voice."

i Statesvilleian dmark: In Sep
tember, 1877, William Taylor waylaid and
shot to death his father-in-law. Rufus
Pritchard, on a mountain pathway above
'Piedmont Springs, Burke county. All the
parties concerned in the transaction from
first to last were poor Ignorant and im
moral. The murderer was not only tbe
son-in-law of the deceased, but by mar
riage tha nephew, Pritchard's wife being
Taylor's sister. Taylor was with a woman
of bad repute, his paramour, on his way to
Tennessee, across the mountain, when Tay
lor, taking a shortcut, headed bim near the
Big Chestnut Knob in Burke, took position
on a log twenty steps from the pathway,
trimmed out the bushes with his knife so as
leave his range unobstructed and quietly
waited till deceased cam up, when be-shot
him off his ox, rose and fled in plain sight
of the woman, leaving his pocket knife on
she ground near the place of ambush.
Taylor had fast before reaching the fatal
spot handed an infant to his paramour, its
mother. The terror-stricken woman fled
to tbe nearest bouse, told the above tale
and fell exhausted to the floor. Tbe neigh
bors went to tbe spot, found tbe knife and
burried the body on the very top of the Big
Chestnut Knob, 4,500 feet above sea level.
From that day till Sunday last, when Tay
lor was committed to Morganton jail, he
has not been seen, save by bis family, who
supplied bim with food from time to time,
carrying the same to bis various biding
places in the range of mountains between
Burke and Mitchell. The prisoner is lean
and yellow and wild-looking.
Charlotte Observer: Catawba
Station has voted to close the bar rooms in
that municipality. Concord has a
population of 1,262. This is from the cen
sus enumerator. The laBt of the dele
gates to the State Convention returned
yesterday morning. Some who had never
attended a State Convention before and
seen how wild everybody seems to be,
came back with the profound conviction
that all men are fools. A party of
young colored patriots started out to pick
blackberries last Wednesday. They were
all crossing the railroad bridge below the
depot, when a little son of Mrs. Lou Johh.
ston took a notion to fall through. His big
toe caught a grip on a cross beam, and in
this position bead downwardhe hung
until bis companions pulled him up.
- Bishop Wightman is to dedicate the
new Methodist church in Mooresville tbe
fourth Sunday in August. It is stated
that the Rev. E. A. Wingard, pastor of
the Lutheran church in thts city, who is
visiting friends and relatives in South
Carolina, has received several calls from
other churches recently. Whether he will
accept any one of them is not known.
One of the negro men at work on the
train now engaged in filling in Gilmore's

being caught under the cars and mutilated.
The train that came out of Raleigh
day before yesterday afternoon was filled
with delegates returning from the State
Convention, many of the representaive
men in the State. A passenger went

the nomination for President to be made
at Cincinnati. The result of the canvass
was as follows: Seymour, 68; Bayard, 69;
Tburman, 8; Field, 1; -Hendricks, 1; Pal

vere storms of thunder and lightning. This
heated term will probably extend through
the first half of July. There will be some
hot weather after the 20th. Severe frosts

Improvements.
Building improvements now under way
in the business part of the city are confined
to Front street, with the exception of tbe
rice mill going up at the foot of Chesnut.
The new store on Front, adjoining the Ex
press Company's office, has been fitted up
for a droggist and is complete, save tbe fin
ishing touches of the painter. It is hand
somely finished in black walnut and ia a
model of neatness. Tbe new store on tho
site of the burned building which was oc
cupied by Mr. George A. Peck also ap
proaches completion. When finished it
will add much to the appearance of the
street, and is a great improvement on the
old structure that was burnt down. The
skeleton walls of the old ice house adjoin
ing still stand, but untouched since the fire,
save for braces to keep them from falling
in upon themselves, in ' very abjectnese.
Tbe fire which started there several months
ago still burns in the sawdust. A column
of smoke was ascending from it yesterday.
On tbe south side of Front, nearly opposite,
workmen. are busily engaged in tearing
down tbe interior of the building belonging
to the Tienken estate, preparatory to a
complete remodelling of the structure.
Further along, one of the stores in Granite
Row the Mozart saloon is receiving a
new front, which will add much to the ap
pearance of tbe building.
To tbe West.
We note as a matter of interest to parties
intending to visit the western part of the
State during' the summer months that the
Asheville papers state that railroad con
nections between that place and Wilming
ton, via Stateaville, Charlotte and Hamlet,
are perfect, there being practically no
delay, it is said, at any point Passengers
from the South by the Air Line or the
Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad,
coming either by Salisbury or tbe Atlantic,
Tennessee & Ohio Railroad, to Statesville,
are not delayed, except three hours at
Salisbury, which gives them ample time to
get breakfast.

top, something like the Confederate monu
ment at Oakdale, barriflg the garb of the
soldier. It is to cost $2,600. At the cen
tennial celebration which takes place in
October next troops will be present from
all parts of the country. Will Wilmington
be represented ?
Geors Hill.
George Hill, tbe captured convict, when
arrested, gave bis name as Robert Rowan,
of Brunswick county. He was well-clad
in a suit of black, andwas armed with a
keen razor. He was seen in the neighbor
hood of Wrights ville Sound on Sunday
last, and parties from this city were out
looking for him. He will not be tried for
the robbery of Mr. Home's house, but will

conscientious, resolute, open, frank In all his deal,
lugs. Halifax county had no better citizen, and his
name will be long held in honor and reverenee by
all the good and virtuous. The writer knew him
intimately, esteemed him highly, and In common
with hundreds of others laments his death. A true
piecexof manhood is entombed where the mortal
remains ot Mason L. Wiggins awaits the final res
urrection. Peace to his spirit.
