The Flipper court martial has rendered
;tc verdict, but it will not be known until
nassed upon by the reviewing authorities.
An Italian, in New York, killed his
wife, fatally shot his mother-in-law, and
then shot himself through the neck; he has
a chance of recovery. A country
merchant, in Alabama, was called up at
nidit by negroes, killed and robbed.
The steamer Ilibernian arrived at St. Johns,
from Queenstown, after a passage of seven
teen days; she sustained damage, and the
third officer was "washed overboard and
nerished. The supply firm and bank
of Mninger & Co., at Miles City, Dakota,
failed for $285,000. Two hundred
and seventy bodies have been recovered
from the ruins of the burned theatre at
Vienna; the fourth gallery, from which it
is believed not a single person escaped, had
not been explored. Austin, appointed
assistant doorkeeper of the House, is from
Tennessee, and not from North Carolina.

The Washington Post is enthusi-
astic actually over Mary Anderson's
Evadne. What a change, "my coun

It is mentioned that Sumter county,
S. C, has sent to the Atlanta Fair
one that weighs 18 pounds.
There is much excitement ia
Charleston county, S. C, over the
Stock bill that recently passed the Le
gislature. There are large herds of
cattle that roam at will, and it is said
that the law will be equivalent to a
law of confiscation.
Several army officers testified in
behalf of Flipper and gave him a
good character. But it is not un
common for a Northern bank cashier
to have a first-rate character until
his defaulting is made known. If
Flipper is innocent we hope he will
be vindicated and acquitted.

Col. John "W. Forney, editor of the
Philadelphia Progress, died yester
day. He had been a prominent edi
tor for more than thirty years and
was the author of three or four books.
He was a man of much mental clev
erness' but without genius or great
ness, tie was a man of generous im
pulses, broadly charitable in his views
and opinions, and a warm friend of
the South. His paper is Indepen
dent Democratic. For sixteen years
or more he affiliated, with the Repub
licans, but he supported Hancock
heartily with tongue and pen, and
since then has been earnest and elo
quent in favor of the Democratic
party and a restoration of good feel
ing between the sections. He was a
Jeffersonian Democrat before the
war and he never got weaned from
the grand old principles of liberty
and law. He was probably 65 years
of age. He has been a conspicuous
figure in his day and was well known'
at home and in Europe.
Mrs. Cornelia P. Spencer, second
to none in talents and acquirements
among the women of North Carolina,
has been North for eight or ten
months. She still longs to return to
the "Old North State." She is quo
ted as saying in a recent letter, in the
Raleigh News- Observer:
"The longer I stay out of North Carolina
the more sure I am that North Carolina is
good enough for me plenty good enough !
I see a great deal to admire that North Caro
lina has not, a great deal that she ought to
have and also a great deaj that she can do
very well without. On the whole I love
the old State more than ever, and I am as
proud of belonging to her as ever 1 was in
my life."
She is prepared, we suppose to
echo the words of the gentle, melan
choly Goldsmith in the "Traveller:"
"Where'er I roam, whatever realms to see.
My heart, untravelFd, fondly turns to thee."
TheWeldon Netcs copies and heads

Kinston Journal: Kinston Col
legiate Institute has now on the Register
the names of 145 pupils. Farmers in
Lenoir county have about housed their
crops, while we learn of visitors from the
adjoining counties that there is much cot
ton in the field unpicked yet. A rob
bery took place in Wayne county, near
Best's Station on Saturday night. The
circumstances as I have learned them . are
these: Mr? Foy, a Sewing Machine Agent,
left this place early in the night, and about
one mile above Best's in a lonely part of
the road, he was attacked by three negroes,
one of whom took charge of the horse,
another leveled a gun, while a third did the
robbing. They got about thirty dollars in
money, a riding blanket, whip and um
brella. Ex-Gov. Holden, of North Caro
lina, in a letter to the Raleigh News-Observer,
writes: "As the result of appeals to Presi
dent Johnson, while I was in Washington
in May, 1865, he did for this, his native
State, what he did for no other Southern
State. He authorized me to collect and sell
all the cotton, rosin, wagons, horses, mules,
and indeed all the property which had be
longed to Gov. Vance's war department, and
use the proceeds in the work of 'restoration,'
as he called it. He also, as the result of a
cogent argument written for me by the la
mented John A. Gilmer, and copied and
forwarded to me, released to the private
stockholders the Piedmont Railroad from
Danville to Greensboro, which was then in
process of confiscation by the general gov
ernment as a Confederate war road. Gov.
Worth, who was treasurer, collected under
my direction and sold the property thus
given by President Johnson to the State at
my request. The amount realized for it m
cash was about one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. This amount, with seven
thousand five hundred dollars allowed me
by President Johnson for office expenses,
sufficed for all State expenses for seven
months."

A Tonne Railroad.
Messrs. Wilkinson & Fore, of Alma, on
the Carolina Central road, about two miles
east of Shoe Heel, Robeson county, are
quite an enterprising firm. They are con
structing a railroad of their own, and al
though it is not quite equal to those of
some of the sindicates and railroad kings,
it will, when completed, be quite suited to
their purpose. It is intended to run from
their place to Little Rock, S. C just be
yond the border of Robeson, a distance of
about thirteen miles, about six of which (to
Alf ordsville)have been constructed upon the
best of cypress ties. They already
have a locomotive engine suited to
their purpose, which was built expressly
for them. The road runs through a richly
timbered section, and is intended to supply
their mills with timber, but at the same
time they expect to make it pay for itself in
freighting guano, cotton, naval stores, etc.,
in their season.
There are several other "short lines" in
Robeson and Bladen, built for the purpose
of transporting timber.
Robberies.
The building on the premises just beyond
what is known as Little Bridge, used by
Messrs. Tilley, Hayes and Hintze as a
butcher pen, was broken open Wednesday
night and robbed of several hides belong
ing to these gentlemen. The lock to the
door was broken by the thief, who thus
forced an entrance.
On the same night the meat shop of Mr.
Wm. M. Hayes, Jr., corner of Sixth and
Chesnut streets, was broken open and a
ham of meat stolen. There were fif
teen hogs hanging up in the shop
at the time, and it is supposed
that the thief was frightened off before fully
accomplishing his object by a policeman,
who reports that, in going by the shop be
tween 4 and 5 o'clock in the morning he
found the window open. The ham stolen
was cut from a whole hog, while there were
a number cut and hanging up in the room.

Those who braved the inclemency of the

It was a highly interesting and entertaining
account of a first trip to Florida, and a de

climate, topography, products, advantages
and disadvantages, as viewed by the speak

Wants to Know.
One of our business friends wants to
know if it would not be advisable for the
owners of property on Water street, and
particularly between Princess and Chesnut
streets, to arrange their gutters in such a
manner as to carry the water into the
street, and not deposit it in young water
falls on the pavement, which one is apt to
encounter in trying to avoid the miniature
lakes which abound in that locality? The
pavement is so narrow that if two persons
meet abreast of a telegraph pole or an awn
ing frame they have to drop their umbrellas
and be splashed by the cataracts.
Magistrate's Court.
Ransom McMillan, colored, was ar

was required to pay the costs and give
bond in the sum of $50 to keep the peace
until the first Monday in February next.
Lizzie Lloyd, colored, was up on a
charge of assault, on the affidavit of Vena
Durand, but the case was dismissed at the
cost of the prosecutor.
Death of a North Carolinian In Ala
bama. Dr. John-W, Sandford, a nativa of Fay
etteville, in this State, but a resident of Mo
bile, Alabama, since 1870, died in that city
on the 5thinst. Dr. Sandford entered the
TJ. S. Navy as Assistant Surgeon in 1858,
resigning when North Carolina seceded
from the Union. He then entered the Con
federate States Navy, and was in charge of
hospitals at this place, Smith ville and Sa
vannah, during the war. Since 1870 he had
held the position of book-keeper and cashier
in the Western Union Telegraph Office at
Mobile.
Important to Shipmasters.
Dr. Thomas F. Wood, Secretary of the

RIVER AND MARINE.
The steamship Regulator, hence, ar
rived at New York yesterday.
Schr. JS. IT. Drummond, Higgins,
cleared at Baltimore for this port on the 7th
instant.
The steamship San Domingo, which is
expected to arrive here from New York to
day, is said to be larger than the British
steamship Barnesmore. Her tonnage, as
already stated, is registered at 1,600. The
demand for freight room from the port of
Wilmington has caused her to be placed
temporarily upon the line.
Capt. Price, of the wrecked schooner
Ourran, which went to pieces at "Corn
Cake" Inlet a few days ago, has arrived
here, and states that he and his crew made
a very narrow escape. The small boat in
which they had taken refuge when the
schooner struck and commenced going to
pieces, filled with water and they would
have been swamped but for the fact that
the schooner swung round just at the criti
cal moment in such a way as to throw them
to the leeward, thus breaking off the force
of the sea and giving them comparatively
Smooth water in which to relieve their boat
of the water and save themselves.
Of the cargo, nine bales of cotton,
six of which belonged to Mr. Dougald Mc
Millan, two to Mr. R. J. Nixon and one to
Mr. W. H. Woolvin, and from sixty to
eighty barrels of turpentine, with a few
hags of peanuts, have been saved from the
wreck and were on the way up the river at
last accounts, on a small schooner. The
peanuts, however, -are said to be in a badly
damaged condition.

and teething sletre
Mrs.
WrN8ixw's Soothtno Stbup relieves the child
from pain, anegcures dysentery and diarrhoea. It
softens the gums,reduces innammation,oureswind
colic, and carries the infant safely through the
teething period. It performs precisely what it
Jrofesses to perform, every part of it nothing
ess. We have never seen Mrs. Winslow know
her only through the preparation of her "Soothing
Syrup for Children Teething." If we had the
power we would make her, as she is, a physical
saviour to the infant race. Sold by all druggists.
