York Herald says:
"On Tuesday a largely attended meeting
was heid at the Town Tiall. A committee
was appointed to draw up a : petition, and,
after obtaining signatures to the same, pre
sent it to the . Board of Education. The
petition asks that th- Board reconsider
their recent action by which colored pupils
are allowed to attend the high school, and
make provisions that the colored children
may be " educated apart from the white
children of the village, as has been the cus
tom for the fiftst fifty years. The petition
was unanimously adopted."

The reelection of Senator Garland,
of Arkansas, is said to be assured.
He is one of the model Senators of
our times, and as Southerners we are
proud ofjiim. A prominent citizen
of Arkansas, now in Washington, is
thus reported in the letter of the
regular correspondent of the Rich
mond Dispatch concerning Senator
Garland:
"He added that Senator Garland's reelec
tion is certain, and that every Democratic
paper in the State,' without recanT to their
views on local questions, is for him. This
is gratifying news, as there is no man in
either body who discusses great questions
in "a "more statesmanlike manner. More
than that, he is entitled to rank, as he does,
with the ablest lawyers and strongest de
baters in or out of Congress. lie is so
much of a student that for sixteen years he
has not been in a theatre. He uses no
stimulant stronger than tea or ' coffee. My
informant concluded by saying that Sena
tor Garland's speeches on the tariff and
Presidential succession at the present ses
sion have added greatly to his popularity
at home."
The two young men murdered in
Greenville county, Va., near Bel
field, were named John Murrell and
Thomas Glover. They were . shot to
death. The Weldon JVetos says the
tramps were not hanged. It says: .
"Suspicion fell on two white men,
strangers in the country, who were sailors
or tramps dressed as sailors, who were
seen about the store during the day, but
could not be found the next day. A posse
of citizens was formed and went in search
of the tramps, but was not successful. De
tective Wrenn, of Richmond, arrested Em
mett Cloud, a negro, as the alleged mur
derer on the 31st, and after an examination
before magistrates, he was committed to
jail. On his person was found seventy
dollars in currency and a derringer revol
ver. A strong feeling was manifested
against Cloud, and it was feared that an at
tempt would be made to lynch him, but
fortunately the people took no such steps
and he will be tried on the third Monday
of the present month."
The i ncrease in the registered letter
business is steady and the system
pays well. The amount of registry
fees collected during the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1877, was $367,
438.80 ; and during the year ending
June 30th, 1881, the amount derived
from the same source was $712,
882.20 an increase in the latter over
the former year of $345,443.40, or a
littlfS more than 94 per cent. The
increase, is the more extraordinary in
view of the fact that the registry
system has been in existence for more
than twenty-five years.

from the annual statement of the trade of

of this paper, that its business as a cotton
market is on the increase, whilst the naval
store business is declining. A similar
change is going on in this market, and in
the Cape Fear country it is evident that the
production of naval stores is giving way to
that of cotton.. Yet it will be many a year

cease to be important productions in out

A letter from Philadelphia to
the Baltimore Time gets off the following:
Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, was in
town the other day and while here met in
the person of a hotel waiter, a negro, ad
vanced to middle age, whom he had known
down South. He had made a few pleasant
remarks to the colored man and got led into
twitting him about religious matters, on
which the darkey spoke with some fervor.
"Well now, Joe," said the Governor, "do
you really believe in this matter of election
by God, that you speak of?" "Deed I do.
Massa Vance," said the negro seriously,
with a shake of the head, "Well, do you
think I am elected to be saved ?" "Scasly
know, Massa Vance, but I nebber heered
of anyone being 'lected what wan't a can
derdate." Mrr A. D. Gaylord, Mayor of
PlymbutbC has written a letter to the Go
vernor giving a history of the late riot. His
letter closes as follows: On the following
day sheriff Spruil arrived with a posse
hastily summoned from the body of the
county. I at once issued - warrants against
Matthew Wilson, Cain Jennett, Elias Jen
nett, John Johnson and Albert Nixon. The
sheriff, with his posse, arrested them, and
fearing an -attack Aipon the Jail here, I
caused them to be confined in the prison of
Chowan county. The negro named Gus
Williams has absconded and thus far has
evaded arrest,' I should have notified your
Excellency of the facts supervening the
sending of my telegram, 1 but for the fact
that I could not do so before Friday, when
it was too late, nor is it to be regretted,
since the presence of the troops has had,
and I trust will continue ,to have, a very
salutary effect. v ;

passing the remains of a kiln, he waa in the
habit of striking an attitude, and, shaking
his fingers excitedly, point into space and
suggestively ask, in a deep, guttural tone,
' Whar is the man that built that ar tar-
kiln now V And the echo would answer,

The Voltes FamUy.
Alluding to the performance of this
sprightly troupe in Richmond, the Ditpatch
has this to say:
"The pei f ormance opened with a nrettv
little dramatic sketch, which might have
been very auu, trot was made sprightly and
interesting by the clever acting. Miss
Fanny Brown's acting in the character of
Kutn Cary Was both natural and nicruant
The Vokes family appeared in their so
called extravaganza! 'Belles of the Kitchen;'
but the name is not well applied. 'Master
and Missus are away, and the servants
have a good time generally during their ab
sence. Tne idea is well earned out, and in
much more consistent a fashion than usual
in performances of this kmd; yet there is a
deficiency in that the fun has no climax.
and the ending is announced by the drop
ping of the curtain not by the action.
The burlesque of the tower scene m
Trovatore was admirable, and was enthu
siastically encored. It was intensely ab
surd to see ManricQ unsuccessfully balanc
ing a clothes-horse on a kitchen table while
Leonora, on her knees, dodged the impend-
ng evil, and both sang the exquisite music
most delightfully. It was a pleasure to
hear once more Miss Bessie Sansom s rip
pling, musical laugh the very soul of
merriment and irresistibly contagious. All
the parts were well taken and the dancing
was excellent.

The consecration of Rev. H. Pinkney
Northrop as Bishop of North Carolina takes

high mass will be said at 11 o'clock, during
which Archbishop.Gibbons will perform the
ceremony of consecration. Right Rev. John
J. Keane, of Richmond, will, in the ab
sence of Bishop Lynch of Charleston, who
is indisposed, deliver the sermon. It is ex
pected that all of the Bishops of the Pro

A. R. Batson and Amzi Ruddisil, two

fair to develop into a first-class row or dis

seemed to attach to Batson, who was re
quired to pay a fine of $5 or be imprisoned
for ten days. Ruddisil was discharged.
Joseph Galloway, white, charged with
disorderly conduct, was ordered to pay a

Freeman " : We would by no means reoomisend
anr kind of medicine which we did not know to
be rood particularly for Infants. But of Mrs.
Wlnslow's Soothing- Syrup we ean speak from
knowledge ; In our own family It has proved a
blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled wltk
oolio pains, quiet sleep, and Its parents unbroken
rest at night. Host parents ean appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article which works to per
fection, and which is harmless; for, the sleep
which it affords the infant Is Derfectlv natural.
