Weill, will be the orator of the day. assisted by Mr. John W. Wood as introductory orator and Messrs. Robert L. Grissom and Francis Womack, as marshals. Raleigh Chronicle : Every Saturday now a number of the members of the General Assembly who live near enough, go home; and Saturday afternoon is an "off time in two senses of the word. MThe Senate," remarked an old ob server yesterday, "has all the gabble in it this time. They are -having much more personal privilege and controversies than the House has had many times before. Correspondent 'of Manufac turer's Becord: Some idea of the extent to which the lumber interest in Western North Carolina is developed can be seen fit Alex ander's, on the Western North Carolina Railroad, where there are . several magnifi cent piles or tne nnest poplar lumDer i nave ever seen. This comes from the woods of Buncombe county, in the vicinity of Weaverville. and is gotten up by Capt. Coleman. It sells at $33 a thousand, saw ed into 16-foot lengths and delivered on the railroad cars. There are several hun dred thousand feet for sale. ; Wilson Advance: There exists, we regret to hear, not a good feeling be tween the lawyers and laymen in the House. "Wilson county ought to be proud of its representatives,'' said a promi nent Western gentleman. "Connor is re cognized as the ablest lawyer in the Senate, and Woodard stands with Busbee and Wo mack and Worthington and . Overman in the House," added the gentleman. ' No county has better representatives. Members who know whereof they affirm say that in the first week of the Legislature six districts would have been created, but that it will now require work to get three. The great difficulty lies in the fact that at every move made to form the districts candidates for Judge or Solicitor or their mends desire to have them formed in their interest. . - Raleigh News- Observer: It is said to be extremely probable that the num ber oi superior Court -judges will be in creased to thirteen.

N.?C.V.TOSDAYVEBRUAJSY 10, 1885. lAVeeay JL.iXempte4 Arson. ; A Stephen Johnson, a colored employe of the Stab office; who resides on Sixths between Castle and Queen streets, was on his way home from the office on Saturday night last, between 8 and 9 o'clock, when' he had reached a. point not far from' his residence, he was suddenly startled , by " ar loud scream proceeding from his house.: He harried home as fast as he could; and found his house fall of smoke and one of hir beds in a light blaze. By- prompt measures the fire was soon brought under submission. Johnson's wife gives the follow ing particulars; A colored girl by the name of Susan. MohawlC' was . in the employ of -. the family. On tie evening in question Johnson's wife told the girl to go home, as she wanted to close up the house to go to; a grocery store for , some articles she had neglected to get during the day. . The girl insisted, upon remaiMtig, but was told posi tively that her, services would qotbere-: quired., any longer that evening. In the: meantime Johnson's wife , went Out to get some wood, and when she returned the girl was missing. While wondering at the suddenness of the girl's departure the dog betrayed hir presence under a table in the room, and she was hustled out. It seems that Johnson kept what money he had in a box, which he concealed under the wash stand. A few days before, in sweeping the room, his wife struck her foot against the box, which caused the, 1 contents of silver to rattle, which was heard by the girl. Her suspicions against the girl; however, were not aroused at the time. She proceeded to the shop, in jac cordance with her. intentions as expressed above, thinking the girl had gone home, and.as she was returning she met the girl leaving the house: with; something under her arm. She hurried on, aqd, getting home gust before: her husband reached there, she discovered the room full of smoke and the bed on fire. Then it was that she gave the scream that hastened the footsteps of her approaching husband. Her first thought was of the money, and she at tempted to snatch the box from its place of concealment, and it was gone, but In its place, or in the immediate proximity, she found a handkerchief belonging to Susan Mohawk. Sunday morning Stephen found his lamp on the opposite side of the street from his house, and between his house and the home of the girl he picked up - on the street a piece of the box in which the money was kept, bearing certain initials cut by him with a knife. Personal.' It was announced in the last Henderson Gold Leaf that Rev. Alex. Spjunt would preach at the Presbyterian Church' in that place on Sunday last. The Gold Leaf adds : "Mr. Sprunt is a native of this State, be ing raised at Wilmington, but is now preaching in Augusta county, Va. He visits Henderson upon an invitation to be come the pastor of the Presbyterian Church here." Rev. P. J. Carraway, Presiding Elder of the Wilmington District M. E. Church, South, preached two very acceptable sermons on Sunday, at the Front Street Methodist Church, the occasion being the first quarterly meeting for the present Conference year at that church. His morning sermon, especially,, was a stirring presentation of the truths of the gospel, and had its effect upon the audience. r. Mr. W. N.

Holly Sc Den Ter Ballroad. We see by the Lincoln Press that a char ter has been applied for to build a road to run from Mt. Holly, on the Carolina Cen tral, to Denver, in the northeastern part of Lincoln county, to be operated as a branch of the Carolina' Central, the management of that road having offered to furnish the iron, lay it and operate the road, if the citi zens along the line would furnish the cross ties and grade the road, which the Press is assured they will do. The road will skirt along the magnificent Catawba river, bot tom, passing near Mountain Island Mills, by Cansler's, Lowesville, Triangle, near Beattie's Ford to Denver, opening np a fine cotton' country, the balk of the cotton crop of the county being raised in the section through, which the road will run,' in addi tion to which the fertile Catawba bottom yields immense crops of corn. , The road will be about twenty miles long, and we are glad to learn that the project is being pushed by the prominent citizens. trilmlngton n Ashe vllle. : The . folio wing is from the Aaheville News: . , "The Asheville Board of Trade had an interesting meeting Wednesday night.

The Fayetteville Observer thus compli ments our distinguished fellow-townsmsn: "Apart from his great capacity as a rail road man, Col. Bridgers, who is to be inti mately associated wih us by the Wilson "short-cut," is a man of fine education, unusual and varied learning, and accurate information upon all sorts of subjects; and is a conversationalist of rare powers. A man of strong intellect, his association, as a member of the U. S. Congress before the war and of -the Confederate Congress, with the greatest men of the past generation, has given him a fund of anecdote rarely pos sessed by the men of our day. - During the Confederacy Mr. Davis placed great reli. arice upod his -judgment and relied impli citly upon his patriotism." Hilton Nobles. He requires no introduction to a Wil mington audience. Our play goers know and appreciate him as. a painstaking and popular actor; but it will not hurt to let them see what is thought of him elsewhere. The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: "Mr. Nobles holds high rank in eccentric character portraiture. -While the dramas are not noticeable for literary excellence, they are so full of every day human nature and so unique in the combination of real comedy with ultra-sensationalism and quaint character, as to justify the author's announcement: 'We fill a sphere created by ourselves.' Mr. Nobles' plays are not only unique, as he expresses it, but the man himself is unique in having been., preemi-. nently successful in the combined capacity of author, actor and manager.
