No one but a rabid Northerner ever
credited the slander concerning ex
President Davis and the woman's
clothes after it had been denied by
him and others. A correspondent of .
the New York Herald has been in
terviewing Jonas H. Jones, who lives
at Raleigh. He was the colored car
riage driver of Mr. Jefferson Davis,
who was with him all through the
war and when he was captured, and
Jones says there is absolutely no
truth in the story that Mr. Davis was
disguised in Mrs. Davis's Clothes
when he attempted to escape. That
ought to settle it. But the lie will
continue to travel the rounds in the
slanderous Northern sheets just as if
it was the truth.
Mr. Tom Whitney, who is to mar
ry Miss Kellogg, is 40. She is 39.
He is rich, and so we suppose the in

but successful in business. His fa
ther is quite rich, too. Miss K. will
retire from the stage, and America
will lose its best native singer.
Won't somebody please "bust up"
that engagement? She is to be mar
ried in March next.
Mrs. Abram Lincoln is in New
York, an invalid and in want. She
has a pension of $3,000. Being in
the hands of the doctors her income
is insHfficient. If some of the Grant
admirers, who lavish their thousands
on him, would give something to the
afflicted widew of the late President
Lincoln they would be exercising
probably a real charity. But they
prefer probably to give their surplus
to the great national beggar.
On November 29th a mob at Du-

Durham Plant: Ateleerram to
day, from Rev. L. J. Holden, announced
the sad news that Capt. Thomas Lynch was
murdered in Oxford Tuesday night. At
the time the telegram was sent there was no
evidence to show who did the foul deed.
Capt. Lynch was a son of Lemuel Lynch,
Esq., of Ilillsboro, and was one of the most
substantial citizens 01 Uxiora.
Kinston Journal: The frost has
destroyed all hopes of a crop of cotton
from the second growth. A few of the
bolls will open, but it will not be worth
much. In Pink Hill township.twelve
years ago, where spirits turpentine was the
main dependence lor a money crop, mere
TTia hnrrllv a dozen bales of cotton made.
This year there will probably be over two
hundred Dales made, ana ine acreage wui

great advantage in making cotton over that

work of a man to make turpentine and
handle it, while in cotton a 12-year old boy
is as good as a man.

ten years in Missouri, arrived here with his

travelling he keeps up the custom of his
forefathers having come the entire trip, a
distance of about 975 miles, with wagon and

He was acquitted.

A rumor prevailed in the city on yes

Mr. Best that the failure of the bank does
not hurt his friends at all. He is to-day at
tending a railroad meeting at Pittsboro, and
expects to push his road with the same vigor
that has heretofore characterized his move

Death of I. E. Bice.
Mr. Lawson E. Rice, a well known Re

illness from lung disease, aged about 47
years. Deceased came to Wilmington
from Lawrence, Mass.,Jabout the year 1868,
and at once took position as one of the
leaders of the Republican party in this city
and county being always looked upon as

party and thoroughly posted on all the
Questions of the hour. He served as an
Alderman of the city two or three terms,
and was at one time connected with the
Cape Fear Building Company, organized

The following are the indications for to
day:
For the Middle Atlantic States, warmer,
south to west winds, falling barometer, and
partly cloudy weather in the northern por
tion, with light snow. For the South At
lantic States, warmer, fair weather, varia
ble winds and falling barometer. For the
Gulf States, warmer, fair weather, south
east to southwest winds and falling barom
eter. For Tennessee and the Ohio Valley,
warmer, partly cloudy weather, local rains,
southerly to westerly winds and falling ba
rometer.
The Weather.
The rains of Wednesday and Wednesday
night were followed on Thursday by a very
decided fall in temperature, the cold in
creasing as the day and the night succeed
ing .advanced. The storm signal was kept
flying from the weather observatory during
the day, and Thursday ' night the chilly
blasts whistled with a cheerless and uncom
fortable sound around "the dwellings of the
drowsy inhabitants, doubtless penetrat
ias through the cracks and crannies of
many a dilapidated cabin and causing the
thinly clad and scantily provided inmates
to shiver with cold.
Yesterday morning there was plenty
of ice in the streets, and we hear in some
instances, in exposed places, of its having
formed to the thickness of three-quarters of
an inch.
From the Signal Office we learn that yes
terday morning at 7 o'clock the mercury in
the thermometer at Atlanta had dropped
in the preceding twenty-four hours from
33 to 21 ; at Augusta from 46 to 26; at Cape
Hatteras from 49 to 32; at Charleston from
48 to 30, at Charlotte from 40 to 32; at
Jacksonville, Florida, from 54 to 33; at
Key West from 76 to 64; at Memphis from
40 to 24; at New York from 42 to 25; at
Savannah from 50 to 24 ; at Shreveport from
50 to 27; at San Antonio from 55 to 29; at
Washington, D. C, from 32 to 22; and at
Wilmington, N. C, from 38 to 28 degrees.
In nearly all the above places there were
killing frosts; so we may consider wintry
weather to have commenced in earnest.
Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving Day was observed in this
city on Thursday in much the usual way.
There were joint services at the First Pres
byterian Church, in which members of the
Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist and
Lutheran Churches participated, the sermon
on the occasion being preached by Rev. G.
D. Bernheim, D. D. , of the latter church,
and appropriate services were also held at '
some of the other churches. The most of
the business houses were closed during the
day and others part of the day; but the
hunters were not as numerous as on many
similar occasions, in consequence of the
rain of Wednesday .and Wednesday night,
which rendered the woods rather damp.
However, the Thanksgiving turkey was not
slighted, and altogether the day passed off
very pleasantly, in accordance with each
and every one's peculiar idea as to how it
should be spent.
Important to Merchants and Others.
A ruling made by the Acting Postmaster
General is of much importance, especially
to merchants. General Hattonhas decided
that matter produced by the hand-stamps
the type-writer or the copy press are all
prima facia within the intent of the postal
regulation, providing that reproductions
upon paper having the character of an ac
upon paper having tne cnaracter oi an ac-
tual personal correspondence" shall not be
included in the term "printed matter. it
is reasonable to assume, he adds, when mat
ter is produced by one not engaged in the
business of printing, and but one copy can
be produced by the process adopted, that
the matter is intended for use only between
two persons upon subjects personal to them-

Subscribers are requested to answer calls
