OVO. Parsley, ; Sr. On the 80th of September, in the year 1880, a young maa but twenty-four years of age rode into Wilmington on horseback, to Beek his fortune." Without acquaintance and with but one friend, he. yet so bore himself during a long and active life as to acquire and retain the esteem and confi dence of the entire community, and may he counted happy to have lived to nearly fourscore years without a blot upon his name. Calmly and peacefully, this man passed to his rest on the evening of the 3rd insL," and O. G. Parsley, Sr., sleeps L with his fathers. t Mr. Parsley was bora in Onslow county, near Swaroboro', February 25th, 1806. For a short time he was at school in Raleigh, then removed to New Berne and was em ployed as chief assistant in a store of gen eral merchandise. While thus engaged, the late Gov. Edward B. Dudley sent for him to come to Onslow county and settle up the estate of his father, who had recent ly died. When the estate was settled, the Governor, who was then doing business with the late P. K. Dickinson, under the firm name of Dudley & Dickinson, in this city, offered him a position in their office, which he accepted, and became for the re mainder of his life a citizen of Wilmington. He remained with that firm' for two years, when they dissolved; Mr. Dickinson con necting himself with the late Capt. Gilbert Potter, in the steam saw mill business. Subsequently Mr. Parsley purchased Mr. Dickinson's interest and the firm continued the. milling business under the name of Potter & Parsley, until the latter retired and commenced on his own account, in which he was very successful, amassing a large fortune and being at one time the largest owner of real estate in the city. Prior to the war he was for many years President of the Commercial Bank of Wil mington, and managed its affairs with great skill and success, for he was an able financier. He was an active and earnest advocate of internal improvements, and subscribed lib erally to all schemes which would advance the interests of his native State for he was a true North Carolinian in every fibre of his nature was a Director, and a very effi cient one, in the Wilmington & Manchester Railroad, and at one time President of that corporation, and was a prominent di rector in many other corporations, always attending strictly to the duties . required of hiuu He had the confidence of the people in an eminent degree, which was exhibited in his election to the Mayoralty of the city whenever be would consent to serve. This was strikingly exhibited in the election for city officers which took place in January, 1856, perhaps the most acrimonious local election which has ever taken place in Wilmington. He was elected Mayor, with the following named gentlemen as Com missioners: Isaac Northrop, Geo. Davis; T. ' ' M. Gardner, Wm. Sutton, Levi A. Hart, and Henry P. Russell. He was re elected the next year and again in 1863. Mr! Parsley was emphatically a self made man, the architect of his own fortunes, and went to the business of life with a determi nation that overcame all difficulties, and the success that crowned his efforts attested the accuracy of his judgment. He possess; ed .a remarkably well balanced mind and a temperament so evenly adjust ed ; that I success ' could not disturb his equanimity nor reverses depress him Active,' energetic and : enterprising, tho roughly honest and self-reliant, his actions were governed by what he believed to be right,' and as his conscience dictated so he acted, regardless of any clamor that might be raised by the ignorant or malicious. He was a liberal man and charitable to the poof and needy. No one, at all deserving, ever applied to him. for assistance and was refused, and it was his pleasure to remem ber those who were struggling to succeed and to &id them by his advice and counsel; his purse and the use of his name. He was a true man in all the relations of life, doing his duty faithfully in the many positions of honor and trust which he was called upon to fill,' for his integrity was never ques tioned nor his word ever impeached. ' For more than half a cestury he has been one of tour most' prominent citizens, identified with our town and with every in terest that could increase its prosperity, and . goes down to the grave at the ripe age Of four score years,- universally esteemed anl without a blot upon his name. ; ' : .

The Besnlt or - Inqnl-' r 1 Welearnthatagooddeal of excitement and alarm has existed - in certain portions of Brunswick county recently on accounf Qf reports to the effect that the notorious iW. H. Swain alias pink" Swain was at large and had been seen skulking - around in the neighborhood referred, to. . Swaiq was, tried for murder , in 1875, but escaped the gallows. In the following year he was sent to the penitentiary from New Han oyer county for stealing geese. Upon bis discharge he returned to Brunawick,a i ull4 fleged demon incarnate and entered at once upon a career of crime, compared with which his t ormer achievemen'tsj as a general thing, were but trifles. Highway robbery -then became his profession, and for a time success crowned his efforts. Finally however, he stole . a mule froin a Mij Daniels in Colleton county, S. O, and; shortly, afterwards a horse from a Mr; Flowers, of Bladen county, N. C. Sheriff E. W. Taylor, of Brunswick, got on . his track, but he finally succeeded in effecting his escape, and for twelve months, nothing was heard of . him or hia whereabouts! Then he came back to his old haunts and was again seen skulking about the country seeking what he might devour or steal. Ia the midst of his wanderings he stopped one night at the house of Sim Garrison, 'his brother in law, and before morning .the house was surrounded by seventeen deter-; mined men and Swain was brought forth a captive. Shortly afterwards he was sent to Bladen county to stand; trial for stealing Mr. Flowers' horse. In . the meantime, however, he was sent to South Carolina under a requisition to-answer jtd the charge of stealing Daniel's male.' Re cently the reports referred, to at the outset got to be circulated around, and some of the people were under so much dread from, the threatened vengeance of Swain that 'they were talking of leaving the . county i Swain had sworn that upon the first oppor tunity he would be revenged upon all who were concerned in his capture, or had taker part in any proceedings against him. To. quiet the apprehensions of these people Sheriff Taylor recently wrote to the sheriff of Colleton county, at Walterboro, asking him what had become of Swain, and re ceived a reply to the effect that he was tried in March for mule stealing, convicted and sentenced to five years in the State penitentiary at hard labor. The Late .Drowning; jLeeldent. There were some curioue facts in con nection with the late terrible drowning dis aster. Mr. J. P. O'Snllivan, who assisted Capt. Williamson in the effort to rescue the drowning persons, says Mr. Charles Williams' child was first rescued and taken to the shore, and then his own child was passed to him. Little George Winn was next rescued. By this time the others had disappeared. The last seen of Mrs. De Stefano she was holding her hands above the water. Half an hour after the drown ing took place, and while Capt William son and Mr. O'Snllivan were searching for the bodies, little Jimmie Winn was dis covered floating. He was taken to the house on the hill, and Mr. O 'Sullivan says he rubbed the body vigorously with bran dy, trying to resuscitate it, but his efforts were in vain, although the body seemed to possess a certain degree of warmth. About an hour and a half after the accident the body ef Olivia Winn, aged 11 years, was also found floating in like manner, but she was cold in death, and any effort at resus-i citation was deemed useless. We learn that there was a mistake as to Munson Winn's , age. He was only 10 years old. Little Jimmie was between i and 5 years old. The bereaved relatives of the deceased, especially those who were with the unfor tunate party, express themselves under great obligations to Capt. Joe -Williamson Mr. Robert Houston and wife, Mrs. Mayo and daughter, Capt. Laspierre, Mr. G. Wj Wood and wife, Mr. 'Barker and family, and others at the "Rocks," for the great assistance so generously, tendered them on the mournful occasion: ; . . . I A Former; TllnUnctonlan Burned One j The Charlotte " Observer chronicles the burning, oh Monday morning last, of the residence of Mr. R. B. Hartsfield, in thai city. He was awakened about half -past 1 o'clock . in the - morning by a suffocating smoke, and found flames breaking through the walls into his room. Snatching up his clothes he leaped from a window to the roof of tbe front porch, thence jumped to the ground. At this time the flames ' weri springing up from the roof of the dining room attached to the rear of the house, and were rapidly enveloping the main roof of the house. The alarm brought out the en tire fire department, and as the blaze illu minated nearly one-half of the city v there was no difficulty , in locating the direction of the fire.. The building was badly damj- aged. There had been no fire about thi house since Mr. HartsfleldV family ha dinner on the Saturday.la8t.as they left'thai afternoon for .

Goldsboro and Wilmington have always gotten along well with each other, and the Seasides hope that the Wilmington audi ence will throw prejudice for the home team aside long enough to cheer all good plays made by their opponents. They never had any too much excitement over them when they were away, and they can appreciate a friendly cheer when given: uo to see the game. ' '.Ball to the bat I Death of a Yonns Wflmlngtonfan. A telegram was received here yesterday announcing the death of Mr. Edgar Lee, son of Mr. R.' R Lee, of this -city, at Greensboro, where he had just graduated from a business - college. He was taken with pneumonia, ' and his mother was about leaving for his bedside, when, on Wednesday, she received a telegram to the effect that he was better, when she relin quished her purpose. Yesterday morning the intelligence came that he was dead. He was about 18 years of age and had only been sick two or three days. The body is expected here to-day, when it will be taken to the old family burying ground, at Sugar Loaf, on the Cape Fear river, in Bladen county. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement. Tbe John Dawson. Capt Paddison, who was in the city yes terday, informs us that the hull of the Steamer John Dawson was finally raised Wednesday evening, when it was discov ered that it . was broken in twain. Capt.
