In response to a question Col. Yar-
borough stated that he had not completed
his list of appointments, but hoped to have
it early to-morrow. Up to noon to-day he
informs us he had made the following ap

or Warren county, and Mr. A. J. Mickle,
of Raleieh. Mr. H. C. Thompson and Mr.
W. H. Martin, former clerks under Col.

Dortch, of Wayne county, as deputy for
that division. Peter Jones . and an
other negro by the name of Brasedell were
at work yesterday walling up . the well of
Mrs. Henry C. Smith near this city. The
well is about thirty feet deep and the plank
on the wall about six feet from the. top
broke and precipitated the bucket of rock
and the two men to the bottom, of the well.
There was water in the well to the depth
of five feet and this prevented fatal results.
Brasedell suffered a severe pprain of his
right ankle, and Jones was severely
stunned.

day afternoon the State Board of Educa
tion met. There were present all the State
officers save the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, who is absent. Gen.' W. G.
Lewis, engineer to the Board, was also pre
sent. The proposition of Mr. B. L. Perry,
to train 11,000 acres of land in Carteret
county, known as the "open lands," (the
property of the board) "one half for the
other" was accepted. The contract is to
be completed by Mr. Perry in five years.
There are 80,000 acres in this tract. The
12,000 are to be drained experimentally.
The lands, says Mr. Perry, are adopted to
the cultivation of , rice, corn, potatoes, &c.,
after thorough drainage. The board au
thorized the construction of a road from
Burner's bridge to Hussey's store, in Duplin
and Pender counties, a distance of about
eight miles. Gen. W. G. Lewis was in
structed to at once begin the construction
of this road. We learn that Col.
John N Staples, of Greensboro, has been
offered a Judgeship in Idaho, which he
has declined. A. W. Graham, Esq., of
Hillsboro, has also, it is stated, declined an
appointment as Fifth Auditor of the
Treasury which was tendered him. This
does not indicate any such "greed" among
Democratic workers, in North Qarolina at
least, as our Republican contemporaries
with their brilliant imaginations are fond of
describing to their readers. Rocky

Death, of a Notable man. .
The older people of Wilmington w ill be
quick to learn of the death of Captain
Charles D. Ellis, which occurred at his
home near Edenton, Chowan county, on
the 4th inst. He had attained the extreme
age of 88. Captain Ellis was a native of
Vermont, but came to Wilmington while
still a youug man, and was long one of the
most enterprising, useful and influential
men of this city. He first engaged in busi
ness as a commission merchant with his
brother in-law, Captain Stow; in 1847 he
established with' his lifelong friend B. F.
Mitchell, the well known house of Ellis &
Mitchell, which business relation he sus
tained till he left the city in 1866.
Having long followed the sea, he natu-t
rally felt an interest In sailors, and was ac
tive not only in forming ' the Seaman's
Friend Society and in the purchase of the
Seaman's Home, but was President of the.
Home from its origin up to the time he
went from among us. He was often a
member of the City Council; was for sev
eral years Chief of the Fire Department,
and when the war opened in 1861, though
65 years old, he raised a company and did
effective service till his age and declining
health forced him to resign.
In 1842 Captain Ellis joined the First
Baptist Church of this city, and gave him
self with characteristic earnestness to every
department of Christian work. lie was
soon elected deacon, and was one of the
foremost of the brave little band which
projected and ultimately completed the
handsomest church in the State. Nor is it
invidious to say that he was the leading
spirit in the 'Executive committee of tbe
Union Baptist Association, when tnat body
did more effective missionary work than
any similar organization in the State.
After the war Captain Ellis removed to
Chowan county and engaged in farming,
and here as elsewhere his Christian char
acter shone out clear and beautiful. He
built a small chapel on his own land and
thus gathered the children of the neighbor
hood into a Sabbath school, and delighted
to have good men of all churches occupy
the pulpit.
Capt. Ellis would have been a marked
man in any community. His body was
large, his spirit was bold, his will was
strong, and his whole bearing resolute and
determined. He was the 'very soul of
honor, and sometimes candid almost to
bluntness, and yet he was simple-hearted as
a child and gentle and tender as a woman
to all in distress. His convictions were
strong and his feelings intense, but good
sense so dominated the man that he was
widely known and consulted as a wise and
safe counsellor.
His green old age was serene and happy,
and now, after a well spent life, he has gone
to his heavenly .home, leaving a name
which is an honor and a blessing to those
who cherish his memory. .
His aged wife and several children, with
a brother and sister living in this city, sur
vive him. !
Accident to a Child.
Joseph' Lewis, a little child of Mr. Thos.
L. Rowell, aged about eighteen months,
while playing up stairs at the residence of
Us grandmother, Mrs. N. Gerken, south
west corner of Sixth and Mulberry streets,
yesterday .afternoon, jumped from some
elevated position and struck its nose against
the sharp edge,ofa window sill ,and cut a
terrible gash,' from which the blood flowed
so, profusely that serious . apprehensions
were felt that the child would bleed to
death. , .The family; were very much
alarmed, and their cries soon brought a
number of the neighbors to the spot. - Sur
gical assistance was hastily summoned, and
at last accounts the little child, who is usu
ally very sprightly and interesting, was do
ing as well as could be expected, no veryi
serious consequences being apprehended.

Depredations ofCattle. . '
1 Capt. Savage, Superintendent of the
County Poor House, is worried a . good
deal by the depredaitons of cattle, which
devour the choice shade trees he recently
set out between the Poor 'House inclosure
and the railroad. ' The mischief is done by
cows which are driven put there to graze,
while the driver and a friend or two are
having a comfortable little game or two
of ' 'seven up" under the shade of neigh
boring trees. There is good grazing a.short
distance to the southeast, of the Poor
House grounds, where the cattle could k(
' no mischief. A number of the shade trees
alluded to have been ruined by1 these cows,
allhoufii nicely boxed. "

are good at the game,' and this; will afford
all such the desired opportunity:! Both

home, and we know that our boys will not
let them depart with anything but the most
pleasant impressions of their visit and the
kind and hospitable treatment received by,
them. . i

It will be remembered that the last Leg

fill vacancies in the various counties, and
it was provided that they should, qualify,
within a certain , given time. By some
oversight the appointees received no notifi
cation of their appointment and therefore,
failed to qualify until the time allotted:
within which they were to do so had ex
pired. Recently Gov. Scales re appointed
the same men and yesterday those for New
Hanover received notification to that
effect. They-are as follows: j
