According to Representative Spring
er, Gen. Garfield in 1877, came very
near dying or apoplexy superinduced
by entering the breakers at Atlantic
City. Mr. Sprineer aavs:
"The time selected for the sea-bath was
early in the morning, so that the water felt
quite chill to the touch. Gen. Garfleid is
a man of full habits and inclined to apo
plexy. As he was not familiar with sea-
bathing, he omitted the neceesarv formula
of first thoroughly wetting and cooling his I
neaa oerore entering the water. He walked I
into the breakersraduallv, standing up in
the waves as tbey broke over his body.
The sudden cooling of the lower part of
his body drove the blood, as, from a force
pump, to his pram, suddenly he put his
nsna to bis bead nd feu back as if shot,
As be fell be lay backward upon the
shelving sands, with the waves throwing a
cloud of foam and spray over bis stalwart

thousand bales received by our Goldsboto

in neighboring towns are not included in
this count. Compared with last year we
find that the receipts to December 1st,
1879, foot up only 11,518 bales, showing an
increase the present season or o.uvs Dales,
and yet not two-thirds of the crop, has
been marketed. The receipts for the year
will probably exceed 30.00U bales.

word "not" was left out, thus defeating the
object bad in view. Mr. Neff's David
Bryant is a very worthy young colored
man, and we make this statement justice
to him.
The Fire fllonday Nlgbt.
The fire Monday night occurred at tbe
stables of Mr. Josiah H. Jones, on the
corner of Ninth and Chesnut streets. Mr.
Jones says he has no idea bow it originated.
The horses were all gotten out without
damage except the one in tbe stall in which
the fire started, which was a valuable dray
horse, the property of Messrs. Hall & Pear
sail. He was badly burned and will pro
bably die; or, if he should live, his injuries
are of such a character that he will never
be of any service hereafter. But for the
promptness of persons residing in tbe
neighborhood and the opportune arrival
of several gentlemen on their way from a
church meeting, the stables and their con
tents, with, perhaps, much other property,
would no doubt have been destroyed.
To Return to Wilmington.
The masy friends of Rev. Dr. Yates and

Rev. W. S. Black is Presiding Elder of
the Salisbury District.
Rev. W. S. Robey goes to the Goldsboro

No change in the appointments, for Wil
mington. 100,000 witnesses will testify, to the vir
