The Freshet in the Roanoke.
Our Wcldon correspondent, under date
of Monday, thus speaks of the high
waters in his section:
The freshet in the Roanoke reached its
highest Saturday night. It was within
six feet of the great freshet of January,
18G5. The water subsided very slowlv
last night, but this evening it has been
going down more rapidly.
The steamer . Silver Wave is below
the Petersburg railroad bridge, waiting
for the water to get low enough ior her
to pass under and come up with her
cargo. Captain Locke thinks he will
be able to bring her up in two or three
days.
The new embankments)! the Peters
burg railroad stood the pressure of the
water without material injury.
The weather has been so wet and
unfavorable for out door work .hat the
farmers have not been able to do much,
and at this writing (9 p. m.) the indi
cations are that we will have more rain.

Be on the Alert. In order that
our merchants may be kept posted, we
give the following account from the
Wilmington Star of the 8fh inst. showr
ing how a prominent business house in
Fayetteviile was swindled the other
day :
4A prominent mercantile firm of Fay
ette ville was made the victim a few
days since of a trick,the equal of which,
especially in the daring eflrontery of the
perpetrator, we have seldom heard or
read of in the annals of roguery. A
neatly dressed man, of prepossesing ap
pearance, entered the store and after
looking about a while remarked to one
of the proprietors that he was indebted
to the farm in the sum oi $100 and would
like to have his bill made out and re
ceipted and he would pay the amountt.
Ihe porpnetor said he remembered
nothing of the occurrence, but asked
his name and, upon ore assumed for
the occasion being given, the book
keeper was requested to see if there was
any charge against him. An examina
tion of the books was made and no
such name could be found. "Neverthe
less," remarked the unknown, "I
purchased a bill of goods in this store
to the 'amount stated, on sixty days'
time." He then went on to designate
the different clerks who -served him on
the occasion. The storekeeper was
astounded at the apparent honesty of
the stranger, a quality so rare among
the human lamily in these degenerate
times, and proceeded o lecture
his book-keeper tor his careless
ness and neglect in not entering
the sale at the time.. He then
made out the bill and receipted
it, when the amount was paid over. The
stranger, then sauntered abut the store
a f'ewT minutes, when he remarked that
he would like to purchanse another bill
of goods. The storekeeper, anxious to
retain such an honest customer, smiK
ingly assented and hastened to supply
him with everything he required. Goods
of different descriptions, amounting in
the aggregate to about $700 wTorth, were
put up, the unknown desiring them to
be sent to a certain point, which was
done. The stranger then took his de-
parturc ostensibly for the purpose of
getting the money to pay for the goods,
since which time neither the man nor
the goods he purchased have been se'en
or heard of in Fayetteviile. Hereafter.
extremely honest people will be looked
upon with a certain degree of suspicion
by our friends, the merchants alluded to
as a result of their experience with their
uuknown customer."

was very contagious and it spread to
Wilson Bolton's, Andrew Jackson s and
Dorson Jean's. I have been residing
for the last 7 weeks with these dis
tressed families,quarantined lrom Louis
burg. I have treated 28 cases ol small
pox and am very sorry to say
that in consequence of the unpreceden
ted spell ot cold and bitter w'eather. the
unfavorable surroundings of many of
my patients, and the virulency of the
disease, ten of the cases died, viz:
1 at the Bolton s ; 4 at Rogero' ; 1 at
Jackson's ; and 4 at Jeans'. The cases
at Jeans were perfectly OYerwlelming,
partaking of congestiveness, and the
who died were con
fluent and typhoid. Having had large
experience in treating small pox, I pro
nounce thi3 altogether the most viru
lent visitation of the disease I ever at
tended. I subioin a list of the deaths :
Reuben Rogers, his son, Absalom, and
daughter, Arabella : Mrs. Bodson Jeans,
her son, Norfleet, and daughters, Jo
sephine and Mary; John Jackson ; and
J. W. Dickerson. Thanks to a Kind
Provdence for vaccination, the disease
was warded off and entirely or greatly
mitigated in its icverity. It has now
entirely subsided in Harris' Township.
