But he . had 'lost mucu ot ma strength, ana as the two men came together Gascon whipped his rapier over the German's arm at the elbow, in-' fiicting another wound. It is supposed thai the weapon also, struck, the, .-crazy . bonef for the German's arm fell' helplessly by his side.. . Then the Frenchman made a desperate rush on his disarmed opponent and struck him first on the- breast, cutting 'him from the left nipple to the third - rib, laying open tho flesh ' and exposing the ribs. ; Agaia he raised his rapier and again it whizzed through the air in its descent and cut a gash on the German's arm. , The weapon was again poised for another thrust when the referee rushed upon Gas con and dragged him from his horse. The Frenchman, enraged at this act of the re feree," turned upon him. But : the referee fled behind a buggy that was near the ground and saved himself. - The duel was over." , - " A London special to the New York World says JMiss Mary Ander son's impersonation of Rosalind at Stratford . "was a grand success."; The acoount says: 7 ' She makes the character at first more masculine than Shakespeare drew it. She was apparelled like a man and her splendid height of figure gave vigor and emphasis to this rendering, so that at times it seemed as if the girl had been lost in the counterfeit Ganymede, : In the scene, however, where Rosalind learns . that Orlando 'has been wounded in his contest-with the lioness . the finest situation in the play Miss Ander son very cleverly allowed the entire mascu linity of her part to disappear in her grow ing and womanly iignt as tne recital pro ceeded. " Her sudden- physical terror and ultimate swoon were artistic and loudly cheered. 1 Her reception was hearty from the first. " c ' ' A negro was killed in the spring at Sawyer's Mill, Ga., and a negro named Swain Prince was arrested and tried and acquitted for want of J sufficient evidence. He was dying last Thursday and he thought of the horrible murder. An account says; "The ehosUy victim lay stretched upon the gronnd, and he could see the burning timbers of the shanty fali upon his up turned face. The sick man shrank from the awful spectacle, and in agonized tones cried out: I have killed him once. Keep him off, keep him off." . ; .. . His death is said to have been an awiui one.

The -narrow escape of Mr. Young was truly miraculous. He was badly hurt, but it is hoped, at this writing, that his injuries are not of a serious or per manent nature.

Raleigh News- Observer: The Central Baptist Association, which' had been in session at New Hope church, north of this city, for three days, closed Thurs day.

It lay there for two or three days, when the lady told Amanda to take the bundle out of the lot and - throw it away. Instead of obeying the injunction of the lady, however, she took , the bundle and kept it, disposing of the dress as stated. The three females were released on their own recognizance, while awaiting further developments. Unfortunate Sbootlne Affair at Shoe ..Heel. . . s . . We regret to hear that there was a seri ous shooting , affair at Shoe Heel, Robeson county, on the .Carolina Central Railroad, on Saturday morning last. It seems that Mr. Charles McNair, a clerk at Plummers- ville, who was visiting Shoe Heel, got into a difficulty with Mr. O'Daniels, a merchant of .the v town, ; during ". which the latter slapped his antagonist in the face, when the parties were arrested and carried before the Mayor., t Here it was thought the affair had been settled, but later the two men met and the difficulty was renewed; when, as is alleged Mr. . O'Daniels picked up an axe helve and made for Mr. McNair, when the latter drew his revolver and fired upon his . advancing foe. The ball struck Mr. O'Dan iels in the abdomen.passcd through his intes tines and was taken out of his back by the surgeons, three or four of whom were soon afterwards in attendance. The wounded man was alive when the train passed Sun day morning, but his condition was con sidered critical in the extreme. , . . Mr. O'Daniels has a wife aad four chil dren. Mr. McNair ia a young man and un married, -r-- . The unfortunate affair is greatly deplored by the citizens of Shoe' Heel. Exotic Grapes. At the office of Maj. W D. Young, yes terday, we saw a cluster of California grapes from a vine that was grafted on the 16th of April last at the vineyard of CaptS. W. Noble, near this city. -The grape is dark in color, a little on the oval order in shape, the flavor being exceedingly agree able. .The viae, which came from a mere bud, is now over an inch in diameter and from ten to fifteen feet In length. Another peculiarity of the grape Is that it has few seed, and another advantage is the unusual length of time in which it can be kept in a perfectly sound condition. Mr. Noble has about two hundred and fifty of these vines. The "White Princess" is the name of an other exotic grape which is being grown to perfection in the garden of Mr. W. A. French, in this city. It is considered as good as the Malaga, will readily keep a week after plucking attd will remain sound on the vine : three weeks after becoming thoroughly ripe. . ; These instances are proof positive that exotic grapes can be cultivated to perfec tion in this latitude. Personal. ' Capt H. D. Gilbert and family, Mrs. H. M. Bowden, and Mrs. W. J. Kirkham are at Burton 'crSpriBgs, Lincoln county. ; The family of Captain John H.

Hattie : Canady, colored, was arrested about 3 o'clock Sunday morning, in" the ; "Hollow" charged with assault and bat tery upon ' one Ada Harris alias "Long Nine. " The evidence ' was of a character to cause Justice Hall.before whom the case" was tried, to view the difficulty in the light of an affray, and the parties were required to pay the costs between them. Hattie Canady, unable to comply with the condi tions, was sent to jaiL The witnesses, Who were all colored and of the feminine gender, excited the sympathy of the spec tators on account of the shock their modesty must have sustained in being required to testify in open court, which was evidenced by the shrinking timidity with which they gave in their testimony.

A mail agent who runs between this city and Petersburg, Va., was in uWilmingtotf during the prevalence of the storm on Tues day evening of last week. This is the way he described it to a Petersburg reporter: "A complete panic took possession of many people. .The flashes of lightning were frequent and fearfully brilliant, the wind blew with appalling velocity and the scene of destruction was enough to shake the courage of the stoutest hearts. Many persons jumped into the river to secure pro tection from the wind and lightning. The rain fell in torrents. The roar of the tem pest was terrible.. - For his part he did not think he would ever leave the town alive." Poor fellow.. He must have been fright ened, indeed, when - his imagination could conjure up .such terrible, scenes not put down in the bills. Go away from home if you want to get the news from thereabouts.

We hope to see a large crowd in attendance, as it will be the last game, of the season, and each visitor may expect an equivalent for his money in the shape of good playing. - - A Serlmmage. Freddie Gerhardt, a German sailor, and a. colored man named David Price, had a fight in the "Hollow" yesterday afternoon, about 6 o'clock, but the scrimmage was quickly brought to a close by Officer Gaf ford of the police force, who arrested the parties and took them to the guard house They were afterwards carried before Mayor Hall, who opened his court and disposed of the case.

The latest reports from the upper Cape Fear are to the effect that there have been big rains above Fayetteville and a rise of about seven feet in the river.

Sunday, and at the time the telegram was sent it was thought that her position was dangerous, ' though the sea was moderate. The Revenue cut ter Colfax and tugs went to her assistance, and at 8.40 p. m., on the flood tide, she was floated off and proceeded on her desti nation.
