A dispatch from Raleigh to the

couraging account of the iron mine

engaged all of this ore and is using
it in the manufacture of steel.
The Malley trial is going on. The

"On the 6th day of August last the dead
body of Jennie Cramer was found on the
shore at Savin Bock, near the Hill home
stead. It was partly submerged in the water
and no one was in sight. We expect to
show that her death was not produced by
drowning. There were none of the evi
dences to show death by this cause. There
was none of that foam about- the mouth
that was to have been expected. She was
lying upon her back and her hands were
crossed. No water came from her body.
We shall claim that her death was caused
by arsenic found in her body that had been
recent ly administered and not self -administered.
Life was extinct when that body
touched the water."

Ralph Waldo Emerson it dead.
The most original and powerful in
tellect among the New England lite
rati. He was poet, one of our best,
essayist and philosopher, and was a
man of very remarkable powers. Car
lyle regarded him most highly, intel
lectually and personally. He has done
more to shape the thoughts of tbe
cultivated men of his section than
any other man who has lived among
them. He was born in Boston in
1803. A great man an illustrious

A gentleman living in Baltimore,
where Judge Bond resides also, writes
to the Day as follows:
''Let the DeoDle be told the truth as to
this modern Jeffreys, so that he may not bv
ms suDiie speecn, ana uirougn tne meaium
of his club and other social advantages, be
able to deceive well meaning and honest
citizens of both parties. If the people
were not blinded by tne sophisms of a par
tisan press, they would demand that he and
all others of a like character be removed
from the positions they have so much
abused. Before condemning the tyranny
of courts and rulers in other countries, let
the American people raise a protest against
judicial corruption at home."

Dr. Eli Caruthers.
Wilson Sif tings: We notice
that Hon. C. C. Clark is spoken of by seve
ral of our exchanges for Congressman at
large. Mr. Clark is a learned man, a pow
ful and beautiful orator, and were he elected
would do credit both to himself and to Lis
constituents. We think this District should
be allowed to name the man. .Several
parties, representing Cherry Hill Pennsyl
vania Nurseries, are engaged in soliciting
orders for fruit trees, &c, in this section.
We understand that they are doing a smash

Brunswick County.
Sheriff E. W. Taylor, of Brunswick,
under date of April 26th, states that there
have been two or three cold nights during
the present week, but no frost. It was cold
enough for frost, but light winds during
the Sights referred to prevented it. The
people, he says, are very busy planting cot
ton, corn and rice. The high prices of
provisions recently are causing the people
to look to their interest in making supplies.
If provisions should rule high and turpen
tine decline for two or three years, the
Sheriff thinks Brunswick would raise a
surplus of the former.
Foreign Exports.
The following comprised the foreign ship
ments yesterday : The Norwegian barque
Hektor, Capt. Tellefsen, for Stettin, Ger
many, by Messrs. E. Peschau & Wester
man n, with 3,940 barrels of rosin, valued at
$9,150; and the British brigantine Signal,
Capt. Williams, for Bristol, England, by

rosin, valued at $19,150. ITotal foreign ex
ports for the day, $29,300.

hundred feet of new hose, which, with five
hundred feet reserved for special purposes,
will be tested at the foot of Dock street

water being taken alternately from the
river and from the Water "Works hydrant
near by. The test will be under the super
vision of Capt. F. G. Robinson, Chief of
the Fire Department.

In response to invitations to lecture in
this city for the benefit of the Wilmington
Library Association, during the present
season, letters have been received by Mr.
F. W Kerchner, for the Association, from
Senators Z. B. Vance and T. F. Bayard,
in which they state they find it impossible

Wilmington Light Infa utry Anniver
sary Prize.
A handsome silver cake basket is on ex
hibition at one of the jewelry stores on
Market street, which is intended to be pre
sented to the Wilmington Light Infantry
Company, at their anniversary on the 20th

best shootiag.
Captain Cantwell informs us that it has
not yet been decided definitely where or in
what manner the day (which is also the

tion of Independence) will be celebrated.
A Kind Act.
Mr. J. T. Carson did a very handsome
thing in connection with the accidental
shooting of Mr. Vincent on the steamer
Murchison, an account of which appeared
in the Star. Learning that Mr. Vincent
was a poor man dependent on his daily la
bor for a support, and that his wound in
the arm, though not serious, would inca
pacitate him for work temporarily, Mr.
Carson paid him a full month's wages and
agreed to pay more in case he could not
resume his occupation at the end of that
period. This was both generous and kind
in our friend "Kit."
Interested In tne Scheme.
E. F. Martin, who is engineering the
proposed scheme to build a railroad to the
Sound and thence along the coast to Ons
low county, is so enthusiastic and deter
mined in the matter that he has been
dubbed "Railroad Martin." He is cer
tainly persistent, if that is to be taken as a
token of success. He showed us letters
yesterday, from parties in Ohio, Louisiana,
Michigan and other States, who have seen
the article lately referred to as having ap
peared in the Philadelphia Press, and who
express themselves interested in the
scheme.
Sanitary Matters.
We hope our citizens generally may real
ize the importance of an early attention to
sanitary matters, before the heated term
comes upon us in full force. A responsible
party has been put in charge of the most
essential department in this connection, and
one who has provided himself with all the
facilities necessary to the proper discharge
of his duties. Let all, then, meet him half
way, and the work of purification will go
bravely on.
Explosion In a Mill at Goldsboro.
A passenger from Goldsboro informs us
that the boiler of a steam saw mill located
just outtfide of the city limits at that place
exploded on Wednesday and resulted in
the complete destruction of the mill and

four of whom (all colored) were being borne
through the streets on a litter when the

auctioneers, yesterday morning, under in
spection of the agent of the Underwriters.
The schooner was knocked down to Capt.

up and finally sold to Capt. Sears for $3.75.
The spirit casks on board, about five hun
dred in number, were knocked down to

HOME QUESTION8.
TO THE SICKjAND DEBILITATED.
Is It worth while to endure penal torture every
night from wakefulness, inability to sleep, ner
vous prostration, feo., when you can be immedi
ately relieved and permanently cured by so airroe-
able a remedy as
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
Does it Dav to be compelled, by debility and
languor, to abandon active business when Drain,
nerve and muscle cap be braced np and the whole
system can be restored to a healthy condition by
a course of
SAMARljrAN NERVINE
You nervous dysneDtics. why approach the din
ner table daily with a positive disgust for all that
Is savory and delicious, when a vigorous appetite
lor even tne plainest! rooa is created Dy tne use of
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
Is it wise to live in this brurht world as though
IV nl V Ce UU1IKVIla . . ... j uilDVI UhIV MIU JS0
contented, when tha worst case of epilepsy, ner
vousness or hypochdhdrla is cured in ninety days
by such a pleasant and wholesome an exhller
ant as
Klo on A Ala.
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
Can It be possible that any person of a nervous
temperament will rin the risk of apoplexy or
paralysis when he dan tone and regulate the
nervous centres wits
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
Is it not a species i of moral Insanity for any
merchant, mechanic, farmer or traveler to be
without the best knefvu antidote against disease,
SAMARTfAN NERVINE.
Considering the harrassirur and depressing na
ture of the functional derangements to whloh
woman is subject, is It not astonishing that any
invalid of the feebler six should hesitate to seek
the certain relief affora ed In such cases by tbe
general operation of
SAMARITAN NERVINE.
These are Questions Of deeper interest than any
of the political dogmas of the day, and those
whom they concern are Invited to give them
something more than a passing thought.
