New Berne Hut Shell On Christmasday James Hayes, coloied, aged is years, was carelessly handling a loaded pistol, when tbe weapon was accidentally discharged, the ball entering one of his bands. After suffering much pain witb the wound until Saturday night last, lockjaw set in and the boy died in great agony on Sunday. W. J. Best and his secre tary, J. B. Caddagau, of New York, and F. A. Dearborn, of Boston, who are stop ping at tbe tiaston House, are In our city, together with CapL Appleton Oaksmitb, in the interest of the. Midland railroad. Hickory Tress: The gospel train also moves through our town with seven coaches, viz. : Methodist, German Reformed, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Bap tist, .Episcopalian. Roman Catholic be sides having three separate coaches for the colored brethren. - Mr. Lee Rhodes, a young man who lived near Jugtown, met with a fatal accident a few weeks ago by carrying a concealed weapon. By some means the pistol was discharged, the ball entering tbe left side, from the effects of which he died tbe next day. Hickory Carolinian'. The Ca tawba Manufacturing Company, situated near this place, engaged in the manufacture oi plaids or checks, commonly called "Ala mance," have recently increased their ma chinery about onextbird more which en ables them to increase their capacity of work. They are now making every day 3,900 yards of Alamance cloth 12,000 yards a week 52.000 yards a month 624, 000 a year. At 9 cents per yard would amount to the snug little sum of $36,160 a year. Salisbury Watchman: Some of our citizens report an unusual sight. Last Monday evening they saw a most beautiful snow bow. A little negro boy, near Mt. Vernon, killed, and picked up already dead, forty rabbits in one turn through the fields, one day this week. He is saving the fur skins. Reports come in from all sides of frozen birds par tridges, larks, sparrows, snowbirds, &c Mr. John Jnsber. who lives on the Yadkin, informs us that he is planting a vineyard, and now has between eight and nine hundred vines growing.

Bloom who perished in tbe ndian Creek disaster, has already received papers appointing him successor to bis father as mail agent on the western divi sion of the Carolina Central Railroad. Raleigh News-Observer: Judge Graves, at the opening of Court yesterday morning, gave the county commissioners a well-deserved rasping for tbe condition of the court house, its lack of room and ac commodation. A member of tbe Legislature is to introduce a bill in a few days to establish a navigation company for Kajeigb. As it is not probable that the streets will be in any other than a liquid state during the session of the Legislature the idea is an excellent' one. . The next Convention of the Episcopal Church will be held in this city on the third Wed nesday in May. Gov. J arris's very able: message receives many compliments for its vigor and its sound sense. The Go vernor feels gratified at the receipt of sev eral letters congratulating him upon it. There were many falls on tbe streets Saturday night, but no one was seriously hurt. The sleet was tbe heaviest of this winter. A good many trees were broken down by the weight of the ice. The project of laying a steel track on our busi ness streets is warmly supported, we trust to see Dr. Hogg's plan jput into exe cution ere another twelve months roll by. There are now 33 fire insurance, one marine, and 15 life insurance companies doing business in North Carolina. At Christ choich, instead of preaching a regular sermon, tbe rector. Kev. M. M.

From the records in the office of the Vice-Consulate of Norway, Sweden and Denmark we learn that 49 Scandinavian vessels have arrived at this port for the six months from Jnly 1st to December 31st 1880, inclusive, representing a total of about 20,000 tons. Tbe expenses of these vessels while lo port bayo averaged about $1,300 each, according to obaracter of cargo re ceived, those loading with cotton being under considerable more expense than those loading with naval stores. For in stance the Danish barque Blene, 600 tons burthen, which loaded with cotton, left be hind in amount of expenses $3,625. Tbe total expenses of the 49 vessels, at the average stated, will foot up tbe handsome sum of $58,800.

Van Laer, was largely attended and passed off very creditably to all concerned. Seve ral favorites of previous concerts were, from various cauasa, prevented from taking part, and among them, lo the great-regret of the audience, was Mrs. D. Kahnweiler. There were, however, a number who ap peared for tbe first time and some of them made most favorable impressions, notably Mr. Goodman, solo pianist and a musician of rare skill and conspicuous talen t, whose playing delighted everyone. Tbe audience attested by frequent applause their appre ciation, andcompelled three or four of the performers to respond to their calls by ad ditional furors. Mr. VanLier, tbe director, bas expended much pains and labor in preparing for tbe concert and he, with tbe ladies and gentle man who lent their services to the occasion, are entitled to tbe thanks of all who were present for the pleasure their efforts af forded. We see no reason why with the abund ance of talent that - exists here, such enter tainments cannot be given more frequent- H ly, as they are always and deservedly well patronized.

Fire at Smithvilie. We learn from a telegram through the Signal office at Smithvilie that the dwell. ing house and kitchen of Mr. S. M. Rob bins, at that place, were destroyed by fire yesterday morning, about 2 o'clock, and proved a total los, there being no insur ante upon the property. We are further informed that Mr. Robbini.whoia engaged in tbe hlacksmilhiug business, bad about $2,000 in money in a trunk, which was consumed with the house. The Stewart or the steamer rasspori, wnue assisting bit. Bobbins to save the trunk, got one of his hands badly cut. Nearly all the furniture was destroyed. Mr. Bobbins had held a policy of insurance on his house, but it had expired a short time before and be bad neglected to renew it. Tbe fire is said te have been accidental. Adnttsratlon of Food and Drnici. A petition is being circulated among the members of the Produce Exchange, of this city, praying Congress to pass a national law preventing the adulteration of food aod drugs. A bill of this nature, proposed and en dorsed by the National Board of Trade, is now before Congress. It is a measure that Bbould have the hearty endorsement of all right-minded people, and we have no doubt that it will receive the sanction and support of Congress. ; ' THK JTIAILB.
