I I It is with j sincere , regret that we have to announce to-dayj the ; death of the Hon. John Williams Shackel forh, which occurred' "on yesterday in Washington City. His disease was t y nhoid-pneumonia.; i Mr. Shack el ford took a very active part in the hue canvass aiid exposed himself a great deal to the. weather. He was sick at. 'his home, in Onslow for some time after the-' Congress met, and as soon as he, had recovered ' sufficiently he proceeded at once ' to the Capitol of the Union to occupy his seat. Ar riving there he suffered a relapse and in spite of the skill of the physician ami the kind ministrations of friends he passed away forever. His wife, brother and family physician were around his bedside constantly !mt all was;in vain. : Mr. Shackelford was still a young man. He was born in the county of Onslow- on the 16th of November, 1 844. He '. was, therefore but 38 years of age at his last birthday. He entered the war . while a ; college sstndent, joining - the Third North Carolina Cavalry. He was captured auPly mouth, was imprisoned there iirst, next at New Berne, then in the jail at Norfolk, Va., and L thence was taken first to Fortress Monroe and afterwards to Point Lookout. He was in prison for fifteen months. . Mr. Shackelford was in the Legis lature and was a useful irent working member. and intelli He was a man of good natural parts, excellent worker, 'made, was an earnest speeches, was well posted in political -affairs, .made a good presiding officer ami was highly esteemed in . his o.o'iiity, Onslow, where : he was best known: lie was elected to the 17. S. House', of Representatives j in -1880 defeating Mr. pan ad ay, the Republi can candidate, and Mr. Kprnegay, the . Greenback : candidate, Du nns' his term of office he has been faithful in - the performance of his duties and gave close attention to the business - of legislation until stricken down with the disease that terminated his life. His death will he sincerely regretted throughout the Third District, and indeed, through out his native Carolina. His term of office 'would have expired in some frty- days on ,. the 3rd of March nl-xt. -' . ..'''.'- '. -i -;'.

A party of gentlemen, in carriage and buggy, wended tlieh way ? through the darkness and storm of Thursday night to witness a marriage ceremony - at the resi dence of Mr. J. H.

The party were met upon their arrival' by the genial Superintendent, who treated them in anything else but a Savage manner, and what an august assemblage. !

About 7i o'clock Mr. Reid and Miss Hepsy Jane came forward, when the officiating Magistrate, arising to the dignity of his high calling, pronounced the solemn words which were to)ind the two together in the indissoluble bonds of matri mony, which was followed by the groom sa luting his bride, when all became seated be fore a repast of cake, etc., which had been prepared ly the hostess for the occasion. Wit and humor ran high and "all went merry as a marriage bell, " until suddenly all levity was hushed as the worthy chair man stepped forward, armed with what is so essential to every well regulated house hold a set pf spoons and said, address ingthe bride: ' ., '. .',. V-' . , ; ,' "Mrs. Reid: A few of your friends are gathered here, and though hilarity may as sert itself, yet we hope we rightly appre ciate the marriage tie; .Therefore, as a small memento, and not for its intrinsic value, coming as it does from a 'King1 not wearine a crown, an 'Alderman' not in offi cial capacity, etc., we tender this little pre- ..1. 1 - 1 T .1 scut wiui uesii wtsu.es lur uie tuiureui yvui self and husband. : Accept it, and may you be obedient in that which is right."

They remained until about half past 9 o'clock, when the whisUe sounded and our distinguished visitors were sooa speeding their way to Charleston, where they are to take the British war ship Dido for the Bermudas, where the Vice Regal party is to spend the remainder of the win ter.
