Onr Bar and Hirer Improvement!. -.- '".. i Regarding future operations for the lm 'provement of the Cape Fear River and Bar, the specifications issued by Muj. Wm. P. Craighill, Engineer in charge, says it seems desirable during the present fiscal year io - farther contract the area of outflow at the New Inlet to as great an extent as the state of available funds will permit. Tbe great er portion of the work for the contraction ot the Inlet; and tbe only portion for which proposals are how invited, ;will consist In simply dumping stone upon' the - apro and its extensions. ' For this purpose about 45,000 cubic yards of stone will be re quired; Vut this amount will be increased or dimiuiiuHl, hs the price of the stone per , mils or'n-quires.;: The pUnUit present con templated w l ' bring the structure op 'to low water matk,-with a slope of one foot ' on the inner and one or two on the! outer or seaside; but the Engineer in charge does not confine himself to this particular plan. aud 'will require the stone to be dis tributed over te -apron and its ex leiuious 'at such lpointsT 'i such propor tions, and .with such slopes,' as shall seem to him to be proper at the time; ;of delivery, j He : -will not, however, require any stone to be dumped above ordinary low water f mark.

Sentinel: Tom Glenn, a son of the late Tyre Glenn, and brother-in-law of Judge Settle, recently died - at his home in Yadkin : county. He was a noble young man. high spirited and generous to a fault. and not many men in Yadkin county but were friends to Tom Glenn. He was a grad uate of Princeton, and at the time of his graduation was said to be the second best base ball pitcher in the United States. Night before last Mr. Matthew Hicks, who lived near Wake Forest Col lege, in this county, was crushed to death, he and his youngest child, while in bed and asleep. " The casualty was occasioned -by tbe falling in of the second floor, it having been overloaded with seed cotton. The wife was also in bed with her husband and child, but escaped without receiving fatal - injuries, though she was insensible at last accounts. Jxews. . J udge Kerr sentenced an old negro in Orange county, named Jesse Nor wood, to jail, for- eighteen months for an assault on two white ladies. The Sentinel savs: "The evidence was that the negro was driving along and two white - girls passed up the road to get some water from a spring. Jesse wheeled his horses across the road in front of the ladies and said to them, 'Ladies, will you let a eentleman come to see you to-night ?' Good-bye, Jessie." The Sentinel says: "A lengthy petition, signed by a long array of the best names in Robeson county, has just been forwarded Gov. Brogden for the pardon of Purdie Brayloy, who was sent here the first of last February sentenced to three years to tbe penitentiary for stealing a goose. The petition asks executive clemency on account of the youthfulness of the prisoner and the smallness of his offence. He was a mere goslin when he stole the goose. A Baltimore man was badly beaten, at Macon Depot by two men. He was saved by a passenger on the cars draw ing two pistols, swearing he would see fair play. The Sentinel says: "The man bound for Baltimore finally got aboard, but with his eyes so blacked up and his face so skinned that he will have to bag his bead to prevent the Baltimore people from fall ing in love with him. It is said he bad played false with a sister of the two men who whipped him." - We gather the following inter esting facts concerning North Carolina minerals from the Sentinel., It says: "Pro lessor Kerr has just returned from atrip into McDowell, Burke and Catawba coun ties where be has been engaged iu looking up iron ores and gold mines. Dr. Powell has just opened some new iron beds on the Catawba and is manufacturing very fine forge iron. They have reopened the old Sbutord gold mine near catawoa station, and it is worked quite successfully. In the same neighborhood within a few miles of tbe gold mine is the largest bed of black lead in the State. It was worked last year by a company who put up machinery for preparing it for market. " j Another New York party has opened the manganese mines near -Lenoir. In the South mountains there is a good deal of gold getting just now ,in the old Brindle" Town mines. . All the people at work through that range of mines are get-; ting in the aggregate upwards of one hun dred dollars a day.. At the time of the dis covery of the California mines there were a thousand hands working Id those mines and got - out several millions of dollars.' Over on Black mountain in the mica mines, the other day. Prof essor Kerr found some very remarkable Crystals of feldspar. . Obe weighed not less than six nunarea pounds the largest crystal on record. Theyarenow on the way to the State museum. , Qn Ivy, in Madison coupty, the Professor found a bed of iron ore of very fine quality. " There is a conflict 6f jurisdic tion between Judge Schenck and XL S. Court, at Asheville, , in the case of one Lynch Youug, who is a U. S. Marshal. The Observer says: "He made a violent assault ou one Foster, and after being indicted iu Polk, filed a petition in the Circuit Court for removal of his case to that court, under. the 67th section of tbe t Internal Revenue Act of 1860. Judge Schenck refuses to air low the case to be removed, relying on the m . TT . . IV I rw cases oi unuea oiaies. vs. nuusop i. Cr-tnch, Rep. p 32, and the recent cases of United States vs. Reese and United 8tales vs. Cruikshankr decided at the Oc tober term of the U. 8. Supreme Court.
