Martin and his son John were fatally shot in an affray between the parties at Bellfont, Ala. A fire on Camden street, Baltimore, destroyed $40,- 000 worth of property. In a fight with knives in Upson county, Ga., Doc. Wilson killed his half brother and Brad Garland killed A. B. Harris; there was a murder committed in the same place a few weeks aco. A noted Indian chief and thirtv of his band of marauders killed by Mexicans near Chihuahua. An Ex press messenger is charged with the rob bery of a train on the Southern Pacific Railway. Gen. Wm.

A fatal type of small pox, resembling plague, is spreading in Da kota : some of the victims die in twenty four hours after being attacked ; Pittsburg, Cincinnati and-New York report from ele ven to twenty -five deaths each from the dis ease during the past week.

The ablest and purest of New oik statesmen, Horatio Seymour, is with the Southern Democrats in favor of a tariff for revenue only. Fred Lamar has "busted." Even iager did not preserve him. He is one of the big Pennsylvania brewers. He fails for $300,000. Moderate. The German immigration in 1882 promises to outstrip that of 1881, which was tremendous. People in Germany are tired of the rule of the Kaiser and Bismarck. Mr. Gladstone's English admirers wished to present him with a hun dred thousand dollar residence. He declined most positively. This will make Grant's mouth water. Several fatal accidents occurred in Baltimore on Monday from the de vilish toy pistol. On July 4th some thirteen or more deaths occurred in that citv from fooling: with them. Mormon emissaries in England are said to, be reaping a harvest. If they were all tarred and feathered and placed in boats and shipped to Zulu 'anrt, they would receive their dues. There is some grounds for attribu ting importance to an Independent movement in Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia Press Republican or ?an, so regards it. It originates in a disgust of Cameron bossism. Having begun with Howe in my great Civil Service campaign, 1 shall firs t draw upon friend Grant's old whiskey ring pals, and that supply exhausted, will next tackle his lovely Cabinet-Robeson, "Landaulet" Wil liams and the remainder. Latest Presidential soliloquy. We rise to inquire what has be come of the "bitter biting cold ene r those Decembers" almost without a parallel, which the truthful Vennor promised the icemen of Maine and toe .jelly-makers of the South? Oh, ('hnor! Vennor! much guessing has ruined your reputation. Sit 'Wrrr Lawyer Scoville's wife is nought Xr be somewhat of a "crank." In feet, some papers are intimating that he b-as "cranky" in a way as her Very rascally brother Charles, the assassin. By the way, the opinion H widening that Charles will kick the beam and that f before many eeks. That is the well defined opinion in Washington. V VOL. XXIX. NO. 80. If half what the papers say- about Mahonizing the South should turn out to be true the. Southern Dem ocrats are a shabby set. They are represented as being so stupid and forgetful and ignorant as to be ready to rush into the outstretched Radical Stalwart arms at the bidding of such poor creatures as Billy Mahone Time will show how much of truth there is in such speculations. We will say this, that a strong, honest Uemocrat with a good political record as to State Rights, local self-govern ment and the tariff, can carry the very States that are threatened, ac cording to the veracious papers, with a Mahone movement in 1884. Vir ginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Ten nessee and Texas can be relied upon in 1884 for a Democratic majority if the right man is chosen one the peo ple know they can trust. Just put that in your pipe and smoke it. We wish to make two points as to theatrical matters: Two or three la dies suffered from the draughts in the Opera House during the Rossi performance. Many complained of being uncomfortable. If companies will slash plays they ought to give due notice in advance. It is not fair to charge for all and give only a half or two-thirds. This has been done here two or three times within two years. If necessary to get through by 10 o'clock, let the performance be gin at 7 o'clock. There is no law re quiring 8 o'clock. The sentries still guard the tomb of the late President at Cleveland, Ohio. A detachment of United States infantry constitute the guard. This is a strange period in the his tory of the greatest nation of free men the history of the world knows. One dead President has to be pro tected from robbers and 'a living President has to be followed by de tectives as he travels from the capi- tol of the Union to the great com mercial metropolis of the Western Continent, The Richmond (Va.) State heads its local columns "A Crazy Christ mas Made hideons by noises, fights, drunkenness and general disorder A citizen's Christmas ends in his death A crammed criminal calendar in the Police Court." That is not very cheerful reading, it must be admitted. The Christian anniversary has been converted into a day of carousing, crime and violence. The records of the country show this. The total number of revenue offi cers is 3,841. It costs $5,054,076.48 annually to collect $137,000,000 of revenue. Spirits Turpentine. Kinston Journal: The sporting club that visited Beaufort last week from this place report 125 ducks and 12 wild geese killed, New York Tribune: A colored tailor from North . Carolina is said to have made $50,000 in Boston since the war. He gives employment to over 100 persons. Philadelphia Times: General Longstreet will ask the Legislatures of Ten nessee and North Carolina to give him charters for the extension of his proposed road into those States. George Workman, an able-bodied white man, was arrested in Hillsboro last Saturday night by Constable Steward for stealing a pair of gloves, valued at 75 cents, from the store of C. M. Parks, Esq. Hillsboro Observer. Greensboro Bugle: Mrs. Su san Fitzgerald, sister" of Maj. Jas. M. Gar rett, died Sunday night, 25th, from a stroke of paralysis. Her first attack was on Thursday night and she never rallied. We are sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Junius Gilbreth, a young gentleman living about three and a half miles south of Greensboro. He was about twenty three years of age. A Washington paper says that Houdin's cast of the head of "Washington is in the possession of W. W. Story, the poet-sculptor at Rome, who is an American. The Raleigh News-Observer says: "The fine bronze statue of Washington which adorns capital square is the work of Houdin, a famous French artist. The original statue, in white rjjarble, is in the rotunda of the capitol of Riglnnond, Va." Monroe' Mispress; Rev. J. L. Williams, for some time pastor of (he Wadesboro Presbyterian church, has re signed his charge, and returned to his old home ia Hopewell township. Mecklenburg county. ... -irgeal estate in Monroe has advanced at least 40 per cent, in value within the last twelve months, t- Butter is a drug in States ville at 8 cents, ti fetches 25 cents here readily. On last Saturday night, a small frame building, the. property of Dick Houston, colored, was destroyed by fire. Loss $230, Monroe inquirer: Senator Vance says that if he could only recollect the decisions of the Supreme Court as well as he can funny stories, he woild be as difficult to overcome as , was the- Irishman who was blowp up in: a tunnel. 5 The un fortunate Irishman's wife was lamenting in lugubrious tones over what was left of Pat, when suddenly she straightened up and, with prhle in her face, said: "Oh, but Pat, when yu wm aliye there tfasnt a man in the wines coukj staijd before ye,' ' Stjre Morning -Star "4 WILMINGTON, God; Almighty had to take a keg of powder to ye The Nash countv t61e-Dunchinsr was a "hefty" success. Eleven idle young men made a tremendous charge upon an iron ring tied with a red ribbon to a skinned pine pole. A hundred or two idle people looked on in admiration at the grand per formance. It was much more tragical than amusing, as tne following from the Wilson Advance shows : 1 rerret to state that little boy, about ten years old, was badly injured by trying to cross the tournament track when one of the knights was riding at tull speed Tne boy was dangerously, if not seriously, injured internally, and it " a i i , 7 is learea ne win noi recover. - Last Saturday Burnell Leathers and Haynes Pratt were arraigned before Squire sL A- Angier, charged with com mitting an assault upon Green Barbee, col ored. The evidence against the defendants was sufficient to convince the Justice that they were guilty of the charge, and he bound them over in a bond of one hundred dol lars each, to appear at the next term of the Superior Court. Green Barbee was very painfully' injured. He was knocked in the head with a hoe, a part of the elbow was cut off and a deep gash cut in the back. Durham Recorder. A bond of $100 for breaking a negro's head is very insignifi cant. If he were to die the bond would not amount to much. It ought to have been $1,000. Star. Wilson Advance: Davis fc Wat son's steam saw mill, in Spring Hill town ship, was burned last Saturday night. We nave uui icarueu me particulars. There was a big row at Fieldsboro Tuesday night, in which sticks and knives were freely used. About twenty white men and negroes took a hand in this little game, and one poor negro was seriously injured. It is unnecessary to add that all the partici pants in the row were drunk. News reached here Saturday night that a white man named Alex. Godwin had been found Saturday evening, about 6 o'clock, on the railroad track about three miles from this place in a dying condition, and that he did afterwards die from his wounds while be ing carried to his home near Black Creek. There was a rumor on the streets Mondav that when in a conscious state, just before he died, Godwin stated that Tab Baker, a d-rd negro, killed him with a club. God win had been in Wilson all dav in an in toxicated state, and the evidence showed that he left our town on the southern bound passenger tram, and that he either fell or was knocked off. Durham Recorder: Gen. Al fred M. Scales has introduced a bill in the House to repeal the entire internal revenue laws. To that portion of the law in regard to the "tobacco tax," we enter our emphat ic protest. No greater calamity could be visited upon our tobacco manufacturers and farmers than such an action proposed by Gen. Scales. University Railroad com pleted at last to within three miles of Chan el Hill, and the first passenger train down the N. C. road Tuesday crowded with stu dents. We learn there will be a daily train running from Chapel Hill to Raleigh One day last week while our towns man. Jlr. VV. li. Hanks, was engaged in putting up the gas fixtures in the new build ing of Messrs. Stokes & Geer. he went down into the gas pit, for the purpose of seeing if it was properly arranged. The gas was escaping in such quantities that he was soon suffocated. Mr. Proctor, clerk in M. A. Angier & Son's store, happened to be at the rear of the building, and heard some one groaning. He ran to the "gas pit" and found Mr. Hanks lying stretched in the bottom. The alarm was given, and in a few seconds Mr. Hanks was res cued from a most horrible death. In short while after he was taken out he rallied, and soon entirely recovered. From a short interview with one of the party of huntsmen who returned last week from Lake Ellis, Carteret countv. North Carolina, we learn that the ducking season has not yet arrived. . The winter thus far has been comparatively moderate, and it requires continued blustery, bitter weather to break up the ducks, geese and swan from the sounds and drive them into the inland ponds and lakes. The canvas-back and red-head were not to be seen at all. An occasional shot at a mallard, summer duck and butter-ball kept the camp supplied with fowl. -The butter-ball is particularly fat and sweet and kills hunger very easily. The farmers in eastern Carolina iseem to be tardy in finishing up the year's crop, hence it was almost impossible to employ a man to drive deer. Sport in this line, how ever, was fine. Deer were abundant: so much so, that mig ratory sportsmen belie ved them to be more numerous in the ever glade counties of Pender, Jones, Onslow, Craven, Pamlico and Carteret than in any part of the South.

Loea.1 Pots Not a solitary case for the May or's Court yesterday morning. The receipts of cotton at this port yesterday footed up 1,544 bales. There has been a considerable rise in the river, and steamboatmen report plenty of water. The weather for the last day or two has been unusually warm for so late in the season. Gen'l Wm.

Burton in this city four in number -were marked with his usual characteris tics of deep solemnity, exceeding clearness of thought and rare terseness, accuracy and felicity of diction. Always speaking pure ly ex tempo fe he rarely falls below a fine av erage, and on some occasions reaches a very high standard of pulpit power. Dally Weather Bulletin.

Two colored boys, one about 15 or 16 years of age and the other about 12 or 13, have been in the habit of going into stores and other business places together, and, while one would engage the proprietor or clerk in conversation, or in asking the price of articles on the shelves, so that he would have to tnrn his back upon them, the other would steal whatever he could lay his hands upon and conceal about his person, and then both would take their departure. Several .merchants have been thus victim ized by the precious pair, only .discovering their loss when it was too late to recover the property or cause the arrest of the thievesV It m hoped some effort will be made to bring them to justice. Paving Nntt Street. The improvement of Nutt street, which has been going on for some weeks, under the direction of Mr. R. H. Beery, the con tractor, was completed on Tuesday. It has been paved with three-inch plank from Mulberry street to the Carolina Central de pot, a distance of one thousand seven hun dred and fifty feet, and is now reported to be in a good condition, as far as the paving is concerned.

Also a bunch of keys. DESTM UCTITE FIRE. A Large Portion of Wadesboro in Ashes Losses and Insurance, Ete. Fire broke out Tuesday night, about 11 o'clock, in the store of Messrs. William & Alexander Murr, dealers in tinware and groceries, and spread with great rapidity, resulting in one of the most destructive conflagrations that has ever visited the town. The flames were plainly seen by persons on the eastern bound train on the Carolina Central road, when twenty miles off, but as the depot is some distance from the town very meagre information could be obtained, beyond the fact that, as re ported by Capt. Gardner, the conductor, twelve or fifteen buildings had already (at 11.30 P. M.) been destroyed, and the fire was still raging. The town is located on a considerable elevation, which caused the conflagration to be seen at a greater distance than would have otherwise been the case. In response to a telegram for information a special was received containing particu lars as to losses, etc., as follows : William and Alexander Murr, tinware and groce ries, loss $2,500 ; insurance $800 ; G. P. Horton, groceries, loss $2,500 : insurance $1,500 ; Dr. B. B. Horton, general mer chandise, loss $4,000; no insurance; W. N. Pinkston, groceries, loss $800 ; no insu rance ; N. Mensing, bakery, loss $1,000 ; no insurance ; T. S. Crowson, dry goods, loss cov ered by $3,900 insurance; the Misses Lester, no insurance on stock, and loss unknown; loss on building $1,200 ; insurance $800. A. G. Bruner, who runs a market, lost consid erable, but had $200 insurance. The total loss is estimated at about $16,000, upon which there is insurance to the amount of about $7,000. A press dispatch received last night places the loss at $20; 000; insurance $9,000. Oh! the Darling A six-year old daughter of a gentleman of this city presented him with a Christmas present in the shape of a handsome quilt, all the potch-work of which was executed entirely by herself, without any interference or suggestion from any one else.
