"- WILMINGTON, At Troy, New York, a market gardener shbt and killed one person who was robbing his vegetables and another was drowned in the endeavor to escape. They were without food or work and- were perishing. Hu man life ought, to be more valuable than a cabbage or two. ; A few years ago a man was drowned in the Alle- ghaney river, -Pa., while endeavor-! ing to escape from a pursuing mob. He had taken a few grapes out of a vineyard. A few grapes were of more value than a human life. Shock ing ! The 'Philadelphia American, commenting "upon these outrages, says: "This , disDOsition to" not ' hronrietarv rights above those of persons is a pro foundly immoral tendency, and one which h&S threatened tn hemniA rtrvminant in nn. ciety, . ever since the ' growth of wealth made-its accumulation a general object of ambition." . - It is very certain s that there is wide-spread dislike of the humbug civil service law among Democrats. It seems to keep In power the most offensive v: partisans without really serving the country. The Washing ton correspondent of x the Philadel phia Times writes on the 16 th : "There are indications of a tactic under standing among a certain class of Demo cratic politicians looking to -tbe practical abrogation or repeal of the civil service law. This is being necessarily very quiet ly worked.: Those who are openly op-, posed to. the law are too few to make an impression. " They seek, the assistance of the much larger number who are for the law but against its , enforcement. The latter class of politicians regard the civil service reform business as a sham, but re spect the prejudices of that great body of voters who believe it a good thing and in sist on its having a fair trial." At Pittsburg, Pa., Minnie ' Gra ham, aged a 15, ."-.fell desperately in love with Tt. English, who .had treated her in her illness. Her love was hopeless and she took poison so that he might attend her in her dying- moments. She was saved but a second time took a very large dose of laudanum.

There are many friends of the above named gentleman in this city who will regret to hear of his death which' took place in McKinney. Texas, on the 24th of July last, of cholera morbus. Mr. Moore was the son of the late John A. Moore, Esq., of this county, and a brother of the late James C. Moore, who was for some time clerk of the Superior Court of Wake. A. telegram received in this city Saturday, says the Charlotte Observer of Sunday, announced the death at More- i head City, at 10.45 o'clock a. m.; of Dr. w. H. Howerton, a gentleman who is well known throughout North Carolina. Al though the telegram did not state so, we take it for granted that Dr. Howerton 's death- was the result of paralysis, a second , stroke of . which he quite recently suffered. He had been in failing health lor some time past. Dr. . Howerton was 55 years of age, and leaves a family, lie was for years Secre tary of State. , , Goldsboro Messenger: We learn that the Durham people are making efforts to have Rev..

A email colored boy, by the name of Drake, was brought up before His Honor on the charge of being what one of the. officers termed a "little terror." He ia said to be a regular street Arab, sleeps under houses of nights, filches oil from the 6treet lamps and makes himself a common nui -sance. His last performance was the curs ing of a policeman who spoke to him about his mischievous pranks,and he was arrested . He was sent below for ten days. Jane Outlaw, once an old acquaintance in police and magisterial circles, was ac cused ot disorderly conduct and being a Source of annoyance - to her neighbors. A large cumber of witnesses were examined and the . weight of testimony was against her, ; She was fined $5. John Croom, a queer looking specimen of the genus Africano, who is said to have come from South Carolina, was arrested on suspicion. It seems that he had- been no ticed prowling about the wharves and al leys on Water street Sunday night, when he claimed to be : a private night watch man. Monday night he was acting in the same manner In the same locality. ' Once he was seen coming out of the alley ad joining the office of Mr. R. W. Hicks, and an examination by a policeman disclosed the fact that the icon bar had been removed from its position across one of the win dows and was hanging down loose, thus affording easy access to the establishment Now the catch may have been left out of the bolt on the inside, but it is believed that the accused had something to do with It He was held for further Investigation.' ! Amelia Bradley, colored, said to be the captain of the base ball nine that won the championship on Dickinson Hill Monday afternoon, got tipsy and disorderly in her behavior while celebrating her victory, and was given the alternative of paying a fine of $10 or going below for thirty days.
