Superior Court. The Court was
engaged yesterday in the case of the
State vs. James Shepperd and others,
charged with au assault upon Friday
Jones, all colored, at the First Baptist
Church in this city in May last.
This is the same case reported in our
columns at the time, as the " Colored
Baptist Church Imbroglio." and as the
Jones-Sbepperd-Warnck: Anair."
Judge Fowle and F. II. Busbee ap
peared for the State and Friday Jones,
and Messrs. R. H. Battle and A. M Lewis
for the defendants. -
After a lenathv argument and a brief
charge the jury retired to deliberate.
The Judge adjourned the court ana
ordered the Clerk to receive the verdict
but the colored population remained
filliDsr the court room to its utmost ca
pacity.
The verdict oi tnejury, "iHotuuiity,"
was received with loud and wild shouts
ot applause. The defeat of Friday
Jones and the general rejoicing thereat
bv his own race, is, we really think, a
good omen for a better feeling between
tne wniic ana coioreu races iu tuis cikjr,
as it is well known that he has been the
ringleader ol every organization, meet
ing or assemblage ever held to perpetu
ate a bitter feeling or animosity toward
the whites.
We rejoice with our colored friends,
who are in favor ol peace, order, har
mony and good will onetowards an
other, in the defeat and downfall of this
old chronic broiler.
No Shall Pox in Granville. We
are pleased to be able to contradict the
report or small pox in Uranville. Ana
just here we would urge all persons re
siding in sections adjacent to tue pre
vailincr malady to have recourse to vac
cination with as little delay as possibie.
Small pox is a terrible scourge, and its
prevalence in any community is fraught
with calamitous consequences that can
scarcely be fully comprehended by
those who have not witnessed its visi
tation. Vaccination is a lormidable
if not a perfectly effectual barrier to its
Btpalthv dissemination. We urge all
ot our readers who "have not been vac
cinated or have not had small pox to
hptfike themselves to vaccination at the
earliest convenient moment.

RALEIGH. N. C.
City Improvements. We have fre
quently written on city improvements,
so olten that our readers may think it
is an old subject or a repetition of the
same thing ; but notao. .Ojice a week
we could write a new-article under this
head, and each time make it more
lengthy. We are satisfied that no city
in the South is improving in" every par
ticular with the rapidity ot Raleigh.: :
Real estate is increasing . in value
everyday; rents are enormously high
and both business houses and dwellings
are in demand; new buildings' are
going up in every part of the city,
new streets are being opened, and old
ones extended ; new firms and business
houses opening every day, and all the
old firms intact, firm and prosperous. -..'To
mention the ma.ny.new improve
ments made since our last report under
the above head would occupy too much
space ; -we therefore confine ourselves
strictly to Wilmington street, which is
fast becoming the principle business
thoroughfare of the city.
All the stores in the Prairie block, fouf
or five in number, wo learn have been
rented out for the present year. The large
four story Barringer building, on the
corner ot Hargett street, will soon be
completed, and we learn that" every
room in the same has been engaged. On
the south west corner of Hargett,
opposite, the Barringer building, is an
old rookery" occupying a space ef
fifty by sixty feet, fit only for kindling
wood, that was sold a few days since to
Col. J. N. Bunting for $3,300. As soon
as the weather will permit Col. Bunting
will commence the building ot a large
brick store on this site. On the north
west corner of the same street, Mr.
Forest, Grocer and Liquor dcaler,ha:n
larged his store to double its lormer
size to meet the heavy increase ot trade.
We furthermore learn that Dr. W. H.
McKee has been offered $22,000 for his
residence and grounds on the corner ol
Martin street, by parties who desire to
pull down the" residence and put up
stores. There are other improvements
in the enlargement of stores, and the
general increase of business on this
street thatjwe havejnot space to refer to,
but the statement is sufficient to show
that Raleigh is rapidly going forward
to a large city, as plainly seen in the
many "city improvements."

Newoern Timet.
We published the above some days
ago as a piece or otate news, we De-
lieve that the information was gleaned
from the Goldsboro News. If we are

remember lrom what paper it did come,

SUNDAY MORNING. JANUARY 12. 1873.
Trinity 5 College Locals. Our
Trinity Correspondent, G. H. S., sends
us the following items from his locality :
The Spring session of Trinity College
opened on the 2d, under favorabl aus
pices. There are about 125 students at
present; many of the old students are
detained we. suppose on account of bad
weather. T
The young men have formed a string
ban'd among -themselves for the prac
tice they have had they make splendid
music. ..
W. P. Craven, Esq., resumed his lea
dership of the sentimental choir last
night his voice sounds as familiar and
muaical as it did last session when his'
Troupe sang for the beautiful Miss R.
The horse malady has left this sec
tion, and Leache's little speckled male
ox that carried the ntsil from Trinity to
High Point, is once more rejoicing in
his freedom.
Branch H. Merrimon, son of Hon. A
S. Merrimon, Senator elect, arrived from
home yesterday morning, and entered
upon the last terra of his sophomore
year.
Mr. Kernodlc, of Alamance, has taken
charge of the Robbins Hotel. 1
There are two new Boarding Houses
opened thi3 session. We learn their
grub is fine. .
We are sorry to chronicle the de
parture of Mr. Benson Parker from our
midst. He has severed his connection
with the firm of Parker & Bro., and has
taken an agency for some cutting
machine. Our best wishes attend
cousin Benson in his new field of labor.
Rev. Mr. Rush, one of our best citi
zens, has moved his residence from
Trinity to Kernersville..
Father James Leach is once more
convalescent. We are glad to know
this, 16r among thelnany old gentlemen
of this section he is our fayorite..
The old portion of Frazer's Hotel is
said to be haunted, as the boarders in
that part ol the house are often dis
turbed frorntheir slumbers by miracu
lous noises. We are expecting every
night that some "hobgoblin" will put
in an appearance.
Exciting CnAss.The office of the
Register of Deeds, in the Courthouse,
was the. scene of an exciting hunt i few
days since, which deserves to be sting
by our poet, but in his absence, it de
volves upon ye local to essay the thrill
ing theme.
Prof. H., who is skilled in divers ac
complishments, obtained permission
iroin Capt. White, our polite Register,
to deposit some specimen photographs,
&c, for a night in the Register's office.
When'he called for them in the morn
ing, there were present in the office
Capt. W., Mr. R., his Assistant, and a
well known and highly esteemed citi
zen ot a ayetteviue, Maj. mcu. ivs l'ror.
H. took the photographs Irom the nails
on which they were hanging, he sud
denly caught up a stick, and pushing it
in, the corner the squeak of a rat was
heard. White, who had been troubled
with the vermin, cried out, "Kill him 1
kill him 1" All was excitement. Prof.
H. started out, but at the door he struck
again at the rat with an axe, standing
behind the door, while the old man R.
yelled, "Shut the door; don't let him
get out 1" H. went out and the hunt
continued. R. took up a reed, W. a
pair of tongs, while the old gentleman
from Fayetteville made for a stick of
wood, saying, "Hold on till I get arm
ed.".. Into every corner went R.'s reed ;
closely did White hold his fear-inspiring
tongs ; on McR.'s visage was seen a
fixed resolve to do his whole duty, or
perish in the attempt. The search con
tinued, but in Vain. In vain were books
of dusty records pulled down ; in vain
were papers scattered far and wide.
The rat had escaped.
And then Prof. II., who has no little
skill as a ventriloquist, quietly poked
his head in the door and said to the
Register, ''I thought you said I could'nt
fool you.''
Orphan Asylum in Raleigh. An
article in the last issue of the "Spirit of
the Age" fronVthe pen ot an eminent
divine of this city, appeals for the c
tablishment of an Orphan Asylum in this
city, and asks the support ot the city
papers in bringing about ihe establish
ment ot such an institution in our
midst. We heartily endorse the article
in every particular and will, at another
time, give the matter a. more extensive
notice. Not having the time or space
to comment fully upon the article above
alluded to, we give the following ex
tract :
"Ten thousand dollars would buy or
build a home suitable for an asylum,
and supply it with the furniture needed
to begin with. Ul course this amount
of money would not originate a very
extensive or showy establishment, but
it would be enough to meet the present
want of the city, and if once started,we
are satified that money will not be
lacking to enlarge and beautify as the
demand may increase.
When the budding has been provided
and furnished, let a Board of Directors,
composed of representative ladies of
each church have control of the Institu
tion, and they will operate it puccesful
iy. We know more than ore asylum
managed in this way by private sub
scriptions, by donations lrom abroad,in
many ways iudeed, which the ingenuity
of our good women could devise, the
money necessary to operate an asylum
might be procured."
Baptist Educational Convention.
We see from the Smritof the Acs that
this body couvene3 in this city on the
11th of next month, and remain in ses
sion for two days. A large number of
distinguished gentlemen will be present
and make addresses upon subjects con
nected with the educational interests of
the St-ite. Among those announced tto
be present, we notice the names of Hon.
John Kerr, Hon. C. C. Clark, Prof. W.
G. Simmosis, Rev. J. C. Ilidea and a
number of others well known and es
teemed in this city. We shall have
more to say of this hereafter.
Oxford Items, Our Oxford Corres
pondent, under date of yesterday, sends
us ths following items from his section :
At a recent meeting ot the Good wyn
Agricultural Club, which took place at
the residence cf Mr. J. II. Horner, the
Hon, A,. V. Yenable presided, Mr.
John C. Taylor, the President of the
Club being detained at home by indis
position. A desultory discussion as to
the relative profits of raising cotton and
tobacco took place, many sallies of wit
were indulged, and the meeting was one
of unusual pleasure and enjoyment.
Mr. W. G. Herndon, who is a prom
inent officer on a Railroad in Georgia,
and who is at present on a visit to his
relatives in Oxford, thinks the idea of
getting a railroad to this point is a
most leasable one, if those interested
on , the line of where the road euoulO be
built will come forward and subscribe
with a moderate degreeuof liberality.
This matter should at once engage the
attention of all interested in the enter-
piise. v
Mr. W. B. Routpn and Mr. John E.
Odenheimer have rented rooms: of Dr.
II. C. Herndon. opposite the store of
Messrs. Cooper & Williams, where they
will be pleased to see their friend3 and
patrons. Mr. . Odenheimer is the pro
prietor of the justly celebrated Oden
heimer sauce. The late Gov. Bragg
and many others have written letters
bearing testimony to the superior excel
lence of Mr. O's sauce.
The tobacco I warehouses are doing
a brisk business? The number of buy
ers is increasing. Mr. Richard W.
Harris has just taken out license as a
leaf dealer, and it is reported on good
authority that others will follow his
example.
The rumor published in the News of
the small pox being in this county we
think is fallacious. There is no small
pox in Oxford or vicinity, nor have we
heard oi any m any part of the county.
The citizens of Oxford and vicinity
are opposed to the lormation ot the
proposed new county to be' called Gil
liam in honor of our late distinguished
tow:.sman. the Hon. R. B. Gilliam.
Some six or eight droves of mules and
horses either stopped in town or passed
through here to day, January the 10th,
on their way to the counties east of
this.
Mayor's Court. Mary Leach, ar
rested by Officer Dunston, lor being
drunk and disorderly on the street,
was reprimanded," and sent to the lock
up to sober off.
Bcttie Snipes in the same awlul fix,
and for the same offense oi Mary, was
brought up by Officer Petros3, and
shared the same punishment as that of
her companion in sin.
John Mowatt, at the instance of Sue
Brockwell, was arrested, by Officers
Upchurch and Wyche, for personal
abuse and threats towards the said Sue.
Both John and 'Sue were ordered to
depart the court in peace this time, but
should anorher disturdance occur, they
be bound over upon a peace bond.
Champion Mason, colored, arrested by
Officer Farnss upon a warrant issued by
the Mayor, acting J. P., answered to
the charge of a forcible trespass on the
premises ot Mrs; Ellen Mordecai, and
cutting down timber, &c. The defend
ant plead, that "de wood was as much
his as de white folks as God made it
for all." -
The Mayor couldn't see it in this
light,and sent the said Mason to jail in
default of $200 bail for his appearance
at the next term of the Court.
A Member of the Legislature
Narp.owly Escapes from Drowning.
A special dispatch to. the Petersburg
Index from Rocky Mount, under date
of the 9th, says :
"Col. J. E. Lindsay, a member of the
Legislature from Nash county ,left home
a lew days Bince, returning found Stony
Creek, four miles off, flooded by recent
rains and snow, and attempted to drive
through ; his horse swam and the buggy
caught in some logs. The Colonel
jumped out, reached a tree, climbed it
and hallowed for succor. Dr. W. B.
Ricks came to his relief and saved him
and the horse."
Complimentary. We are pleased to
hear the effort of our young friend
Thomas P. Devereux,. Esq., in behalf of j
the defendants in the burglary case tried
here on Friday, spoken of by the mem
bers of the Bar and others in such com
plimentary terms. Mr. Devereux made
the opening speech for the defense, and
it fell to his province to lav down the
points and sum up the law bearing on
the case, which he did in a clear, able
and forcible manner. He acquitted
himself in such creditable manner as to
extort praise from many cf his older
brethren of the legal profession.
Norfolk Houses. Our Norfolk cor
respondent this morning alludes to two
Norlolk houses that advertises in the
News. We will allude next week to
other firms in that city who are using
the columns of the News for the pur
pose of acquainting the public with
their business, as our correspondent thus
unintentionally docs injustice .to a
number of merchants and others who
have found it to their advantage to use
theNEW3 as an advertising medium.
Pardoned. His excellency, Gov.
Caldwell yesterday pardoned Walter
Scott, white, convicted of larceny at the
February term 1870 of Orange Superi
or Court and sentenced to 8 years im
prisonment in the Penitentiary. The
petition was numerously signed by the
most respectable and prominent cit'zens
of Orang': county, also the Judge
that tried the case and' the Solic
itor that prosecuted it.
The Western R. R. Case -Judge
Cloud has decided that the Western
Railroad case reported in our yesterday's
issue in favor of the plaintiffs, W. H
Howerton and othei?. Judgv Merri
mon, Counsel for S. McD. Tute and
others, took an appeal to the Supreme
Couit and the case will doubtless come
oft at its present session.
i
NO. 238.
The Penitentiary Killing Case.
Yesterday, Coroner Magnin, summoned
a jury, repaired to the Penitentiary and
held an inquest upon the body of the
convict, Riley Manning, killed the even
ing previous while attempting to escape,
by a member or the guard,
ine verdict ot. the iury wa3 in ac
cordance with the lacts. viz : That the
deceased cam 3 to h?3 death by a gun
shot wound, while attempting to escape
from justice, and the shot fired by a
member of the guard in the lawful dis
charge of his duty.
The HorpiNG j Season. We learn
that our young people contemplate get
ting up a series of hops, to continue the
next sixty days. We modestly suggest
to the young folks a new order of hop,
known as the kiss quadrille, wherein
each gentleman kisses his partner swing
ing around the corners. Morally , in
clined people congratulate themselves

row lor the loss.

exchanged and there was much bad
feeling. After the close of the sitting
two friends of the Radicals called upon
De Cazes and demanded an apology.
The result is unknown, but a .duel is
probable.
