Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars Wanted to Complete the plans Adopted by the North Carolina Agricultural Society in the Erec tion of Suitable Buildings, and of Beautifying the Fair Grounds. It is agreed that the Society shall issue a certificate of obligation to every person who will subscribe and pay to the Treasurer of the said Society in cash, or bank acceptance in six months or less, a sum not less than $20. It shall be the duty of the said Society, in the first place, to. make a correct statement an nually, within sixty days after each ex hibition, showing amount of receipts and expenditures. Then all the sur plus in the hands of the Treasurer at the end of the second year of the Fair shalWbe divided prorata, and pail over in cash to each person making a loan, his or her proper proportion of said surplus. And the said plan of distrib uting the surplus shall be divided an nually after the second year, until the principal with interest at 6 per cent, per annum is returned. The privilege extended to life members paying $20 shall continue in force as heretofore provided by the Society. AH subscribers of $5 and upwards, not amounting to $20, shall be entitled to, and furnished with, the State Agri cultural Journal, published under the auspices of the Society,' annually, after the first fair, and to so continue until the regular subscription will absorb the respective amounts. - This certificate of the N. C. Agricul tural Society shall not be binding, un less signed by the President and Secre tary, and attested by the seal of the So ciety. The above arrangement has been made with a view of raising the sum wanted to erect the proposed buildings upon the new Fair Grounds, and we have the hope that it will prove suc cessful. The Committee is not willing to move until Raleigh shall have sub scribed $10,000. We are pleased to know that" some $7,000 have already been subscribed. The balance must be forthcoming bv Friday night, when final action will have to be taken. The plan above proposed covers the ground upon whiclf the thorough-bred stallion, alluded to yesterday as having been given by Colonel J. M. Heck, will be awarded to the couuty loaning the laigest ahiount; and the thorough-bred cattle of Col. T. M. Holt to the county loaning the. second largest amount. Other gifts will be arranged for the third and fourth counties. Certainly such libelality will meet with its reward. Masonic Temple. We are informed by the General Agent that the prospects ot the Temple cause are still bright and brightening nearly two-third3 ot the capital stock have been subscribed, and the list Is constantly increasing. It is not known the exact time at which the work will be commenced, but enough has already been done to insure the suc cess ot the enterprise, and that, too, at no very distantday. This building 7 wili be magnificent in its proportionsfKV. McNamara, priest, officiating, and will be a great ornament to our beautiful City of Oaks, the Capital of the State, The new Post Office, ereGted by the United States Government, a new Court House and. the Temple, all on one square, and the Yarborb House on the opposite side, will make our city more attractive than ever; and the hearts ot our citizens will be glad in, deed when all these improvements shall baye been perfected. If we are to judge by the fine buildings now being erected, and in contemplation, surely Raleigh in a few ycar3 will ha by far the most im portant city in the State., The Board of Directors ot the Temple Association is composed of some of our most in fluential and sterling fellow-citizens,and all the subscribers at a distance may be assured that everything is be ing done to commence the . building. They do not wish to hazard the inter est of a single stockholder, and judge it is better to get ready first, and then the rest can easilv be accomplished. Let all interested ret on these gentlemen, and we hsve no doubt they will event ually succeed in carrying out the designs of the originators ol this huge under taking. Heretofore, the General Agent and Treasurer have had most of the labor to perform, but recently a Financial Secretary has been appointed,wbo is now perlecting the organization and insti tutions a more vigorous process of col lecting the monthly instalments, and by keeping up a regular correspondence with the local agents in the different lodges, the Board of Directors and stock holders will be brought nearer together and understand- each other more per fectlv. as regards the working of the plan. So the minds of -our citizens may be at rest, so far as the Temple is con cerned. It will certainly be built, and on a scale which will be a pride to the noble fraternity to whose uses it will be devoted, and reflect credit on those who first projected the scheme. Flying to Arms. The press of our State seems to be "flying to arms Manning, of the Weldon Jsews, was re cently married, and now goes Uzzell, of the Raleigh Neics. Avery, of the Ex positor, will'be next, we learn. We also hear crave rumors ot threats from Stamps, of Tarboro, Bonitz, of Golds boro, Duffy, of Greensboro, Harris of Wilmington, Caldwell, of Charlotte, even including the two chief editors ot our organ at Raleigh, the News. We cau't imagine what created the excite ment among the press meni unless it was the new postal law of Congress. Keep cool gentlemen be sure to look before you leap. Asheville -Citizen. It was not our Uzzell but a younger brother. Our Uzzell has long since pleaded 'guilty to "the soft impeach ment." The above i3 from Furman who is said to be partial to the first Gospel in the New Testament adding the name usually applied by a fond parient to his masculine offspring. We understand that the editor of the Citizen has his "little private affairs" all arranged, and is only waiting for the balmy breath and blushing flowers of summer for the consummation of his fondest hopes. H RALEIGH, N. Prosperity op the Wilmington ife Insurance Company. We have before us the report of the Board of Directors of the Wilmington North Carolina Life Insurance Company, made o the stockholders at their annual meeting in Wilmington, on Jan. 23d, 873. From the report we learn that this excellent company at the close of its third fiscil year was in a most prosper ous condition, that its business is rapid- y increasing, and that it has entered on another year of its existence, not only with bright prospects, but with s highest assurance that it will con tinue to advance in popularity and in the confidence of thb public. The num ber of policies issued during the ast twelve months is more than double the number issued du during the first two years of the Com pany's career: and under the present able and efficient management, we have every reason for believing that end of the present year will find that the Wil-. mington N. C. Life has increased its business in the same ratio. Its officers are gentlemen oi as liigii character as any in the State, and their characters and influence have no doubt contribut ed largely to the flattering results that have attended the operations of the Company ; but a large share of the credit is also due to the zeelous undi vided efforfs ot Mr. James D. Brooks, the General State Agent, who has been connected with the Companv for the ast twelve months, and who has shown his fitness and efficiency for his duties by the success which has marked bis abors in its behalf. In concluding their report, the Board of Directors say they congratulate the Company upon its sound and rapidly improving condition, and that they trust - everv stockholder and everv policy-holder will feel he has a right, and that it is his interest and duty to commend the Company to the confi dence and patronage of the people of .North Carolina. 1 Our Churches To-Day.

We learn that Steve Lowrey, the last of the Robeson county outlaws, is now" out seldom seen or heard from keeping close within his range, occasionally visiting, it is thought, fii3 relations in South Carolina. He is now committing no depredations, and no tears are entertained of him by those who were once held in continued terror of the outlaws. He will doubt less be captured at an early day, and Bobtson be thus rid iorever. we hope, of the villains who have cemmitted so many outrages. Fight in Jail. Yesterday morning Simpson Mordecai and Thomas Griffice, the two colored men now confined in iail under sentence of death, engaged iu a fight. Simpson charged With doing certain acts, in times gone- by, which Simpson as an honorable man had objection to. The lormer broke an iron skillet over the head of the latter, and the fight was fiercely prosecuted until the iallor made his appearance and separated the belliger a - j ents. The only thing hurt was the skil let. ' 4 Tis Sweet to Die Thus. A beau tiful and beloved young lady of Mont gomery, Ala., the daughter of Dr. S. L.

We under. stand the vacancies were supplied on Thursday last. i -. Appointed. We learn that Mr. E. II. Smith has been appointed conductor on the Nurth Carolina Railroad vice Captain Wm. H. Thompson, resigned. Mr. Smith ran an engine on the road for a number of years, and was regard ed as one of the best and most skillful engineers in the service of the company. More Convicts. Sheriff McMillan, of Robeeon county, brought three con victs to the State Penitentiary yester day, all colored, two for twenty years each for burning a cotton gin, and one for two years for an assault with an in tent to commit a rape. This makes ten prisoners that Robeson county has fur nished within two years. (1) Pure Whiskey ! and mellow 1 Century C. SUNDAY MORNING. TIIE BIG INAUGURATION BALL COOL ACCOUNT OF THE AUGURATION FETE. A IN- Freezing Remarks n the Building, the Ball and the flapper lev Al lusions to Distinguished Guests I Cold Comfort in the Terpsicho rean Skating: Rink A Great Sneeze and Its Political IS fleet. "Don Piatt," the humorous corres pondent of the Herald, does up the in auguration ball in the following "cool" style. An account -of the day's pro ceedings, from the same pen, will be found on the third page. Says the Don, Sunder date of Washington, 5th inst : All the loose boards in WaAington were nailed together in Judiciary square, next door to the jail, and tash- ioned into a ball-room. As a ball room in the temperate zone it was a success ; as a ball room, with the thermometer marking no end of degrees below zero, it was a skating rink. It began, as all balls are given to do, at ten P. M., and by one A. M., an efficient police was carrying out corpses in a stiffened con dition. A pine board one inch in thickness is not; warming ; no amount of imagination will draw boat out of a pine board when pulverized ice moun tains are blown in great guns on both sides of it. The enterprising manage ment did its best to heat up, by assuring one and all that it was moderating ; but it did not moderate, aw eontraire, as the Frenchman remarked when asked it he liked German bayonets. The weather got worse. At ten o'clock P. M., the tail of the brass Jackson's horse in La fayette square had to be padded to pre serve it and at eleven doorknobs droo ped eft. What was the use of striving to be gay and festive? The poor women in short necks and low sleeves (thaw that out, please) did their best in the "Boston," but you can't make a dip with the tallow frozen. I am pained to write you this, for the effort at an inauguration ball in Judiciary square, next to the jail, deserves success. To the eye the effect was magnificent ; it was superb; it was wonderlul ; it beat Byron i nd the Bridge of Sighs. I remember balls at the Tuilenes and balls at the Hotel de Ville in their better days, and I say now, thawed out and duly sober, that those festive occasions sung small before the vast glitter, the fields of light one saw when, looking lioai the President's platform, one gazed along the interior of that vast edifice. The arched roof, rounded up a hun dred feet above, was tar enough away to have the effect of the finest Gothic i . i i carving, aitnougu very rougn worK, while a million of gas jets, in all sort of fancied shapes, gave the impression of a fairy scene. Add to this three or four thousand people, the ladies in ball dresses and the men in uniform oi either the conventional swallow tail or cadets' dress, or volunteer patterns and gold, and one can appreciate what it might have been had Divine Providence smiled on our patriotic efforts and given us warmer weather. As it was, financially, the ball was not a success. At ten, as I have said, the guests began to put in an appearance. the arrangements were perfect. Hats and coats were not orily checked, but each comer had a box to himself or herself, where these articles could bo found without confusion. True, the colored people , in attendance froze to death in great numbers, but the manage ment, with great wisdom foreseeing such a fatality, had relays of fresh hot datkies brought from some warm ocalitics (the jail, perhaps,) so that at no moment were the festivities inter rupted by the casualties. The same may be said of the arrangements for supper, l lie tame, running me lengin ot the building on one side, was ap proachable at all hours ; but what was the use of all this when one had to break the ics to get at the stewed oys ters, and the chicken salad so bard that tiity sets of new Congressional teeth were broken in the attempt to eat the same ? This article of teeth in Congress is hid under the name ot stationery, spittoons, fuel, hair brushes and all sorts of articles allowed by law ; but it is, then, all the same. The first thing an average Congressman does alter election on arriving in Washington is to have his hair dyed and a sew set of teeth inserted, and there ha stands in his calfskin, human, handsome and liable to the lobby. It is a little awkward, then, under these circumstan ces to encounter frozen salads or to have valuable teeth set chattering by the intense cold. what the bkitish minister tuo ught. Sir Edward Thorton, the British Minister, assisted by his entire legation, expressed au opinion for the first time since his arrival in Washington. He said, with considerable emphasis, that it was "blarsted cold, you know, and the draugnts were multitudinous and very disagreeable." The ball was made up mostly of strangers to Washington. We had representatives from all parts ot the Republic, whose example, under Heaven's guirdance, as the President tells as, all the nations of the earth are now following. One language, says His Excellency I If ours is accepted, just now that we have got into these inves tigations. there will be considerable profanity in it. But that's not about our ball. The belles gathered into the national capital from every section , ot our free land were dressed superbly ; at A least so I am assured by Mrs. Grundy, who had descriptions given her in ad vance. All I saw was a general, assort meat ot - wraps that were not suDerb. At eleven o clock the Administration arrived, accompanied bv a suite of militia generals -kindly disposed Congressmen and a number of the diplomatic corps, entering Dy tne main entrance, tuis funeral procession by rapid walking, managed to keep the blood in circulation. It was observed ill it Secretaries Fish and Robeson .uffed like steam tugs. As we had never tfjre noticed any lack of wind in MARCH 9. 1873. these public functionaries, the surnrise I was general. The band played y. "HAIL TO THE CHIEF." On reaching the stand, or platform, Governor Cooke informed Hi3 Excel lency that the guests wished to shake his band, whereupon Ulysses remarked that not only his band but his body had been shaking for some time. As this is the nearest approach to a joke ever made by the President, let it be re corded. The discussion" was excited upon the floor as to whether thi3 was a a casualty or not, the majority express ing the belief that it was. Messrs. De lano and Creswell, of the Cabinet, were observed to be exceedingly gloomy; whether the cold atmosphere of the ball room suggested the cold outside of official life, with which they are threat ened, it is impossible to say. Mr. Cres well observing the telegraphic arrange ments made to regulate the bands and various committees, begged permission to run the same for a little while. Of course this favor was granted him, but he created such confusion that it came near abruptly ending the festivi ties. He had all the bands going at once, and while one was playing the "Dead March in Saul" another was play ing the devil with "Yankee Doodle." This does not speak much lor govern ment telegraphy. AN INTERESTING AND EXCITING INCI DENT. At twelve the President sneezed. En couraged by this illustrious example all the humble subjects of the ball room began sneezing, and this became so general that the music was drowned and a general leave-tiking followed. It is said to-day that the Administration has a violent cold in the nose, and that this delays the announcement of the new Cabinet. Highway Robbery. We learn that a man by the name of McLaughlin, an agent of one of the Sewing Machine Companies, was waylaid and robbed on Friday near Goldsboro. He had left that town and gone but a short distance, when several men in disguise emerged from the woods, with pistols in hand, and demanded his money, which he gave up as a prudent gentleman should under the circumstances. We hope to have fuller particulars of this outrage in our next issue. " Gone Where the Woodbine Twineth. " X.ate last evening we received intelligence that Mr. Samuel T. Carrow. United States Marshal for this State, has gone to that flowery land. officially speaking, where, in the poetical language ot the lamented Fisk, the woodbine disports its gracefulness by circling in labyrinthal beauty.
