North Carolina State Life In
surance Company. We are gratified
to hare it in our power to announce
that this Company is now in lull oper
ation. We happened yesterday to5 stroll
into, their handsomely fitted up office
on the eecond floor ot the Citizens, , Na
tional Bank building. In point of con
vienience and completeness of arrange
ment, a better one could not be desired.
In the outfit of the office theie is one
feature which we particularly commend:
All of the books, blank forms, etc., are
ot home manufacture and are of work
manship as good as could be procured
anywhere. The policy forms were
printed in this city and are gems of typo
graphical beauty. They were gotten
up under the supervision of Major F.
U. Cameron, the Vice President of the
Company, and are the neatest and most
compjete we have ever seen. The
vignette upon them is a most handsome
one. It consists of a female figure,
typical of North Carolina, surrounded
by the productions of the State with
a noble pine forest and the ocean in the
distance, and spreading over all is a
shield bearing- tiie sname of the com
pany, emblematical of the protection
which the operations of the company
throw over the industries of the State.
In a worth, the outfit ot the'tipmpany is
as thorough in every particular aS it
could well be, and all the completeness
pf the appointments betdken the guid
ance of an experienced and skillful
hand.' '""-:
The company has. secured the services
of some of thmostctive business men
of the State as agents, among whom
are James H. , Moore, Jacob A. Long,
H. A Londonand a number ot others
whose ryrmes we do not now remember.
Already has a most flattering progress
been made in the organization of the
State. Applications for policies are com
ing rapidly lii, and on every side gratifi
cation is expressed that weiiave another
strong and reliable home life compa
ny to meet the increasing demands in
insurance in this State. The success of
the company is assured beyond all doubt
and its continual prosperity will be a
source of pleasure to all who have the
true interest of the State at heart. As
to the proper management of the uflairs
of the company there can be no doubt,
as all ofxthc gentlemen having their
direction are well known throughout
the whole State for their business quali

Tiik Destruction of JIr. Harris'
House in Halifax. We published
yesterday morning the fact thatMr.
Thomas W. Harris, a highly esteeineif
citizen of Halifax county, had his
elegant house burned down on Satur
day last. The lioa nole 2feicsf of yester
day, gives jthe following additional
particulars : j
"Mr. Harris was absent on a visit to
his son, in eastern Carolina, at the time
of the accident. All the members of
the family, save Mrs. Capt. Bartlett, a
daughter of Mr. Harris, and two small
children, had gone to church. The
dwelling took fire from a loul chimney
and there being no '-one on the lot to
fcxtinguish it in tiuu. aud ,;v strong
wind blowing, the flames rapidly spread
over the entire building, consuming it
together with all of its content, of any
value, a few small articles only being
saved. Mr. Harris' house was one ot
the best in the county, and was elegant
ly lurnished. Unfortunately nothing
wa3 insured, aud the whole loss will
foot up $10,000 or more.
"This is a severe loss, and we heartily
sympathize with Mr. Harris, as all, who
have the pleasure ot hi3 acquaintance,
must do. Such blows falrwilh telling
eflVct on men whose means are always
at the command ot the needy, and
many who 'have shared his bounty will
deem his, a public lo?s."
Prof. Valestine Vox, the Ven-
TRILoquilt. By reference to our 'ad
vertising coluuinSjit will be seen that the
world renowned ventriloquist will be in
Raleigh on Tuesday and Wednesday
evening next. 1 he press speak ot him
in terms of praise, but the following
remarks Irom Prof. Bennett, Principal
of. the Masonic Female Collcnge at
Cokesbury, S. C, Feiuiary 5th, 1873,
on receiving a large donation from the
hands of Valentine Vox, in aid and
support ot that worthy institution,
speaks lor itself. Said the Professor:
"Ladies, Gentlemen and Pupils, allow
me to say, in behalf ot this noble insti
tution, that we shall always leel grate
ful toward 'our benefactor, Prof. Valen
tine Vox, who has not only amused
and edified usth s evening by his won
derful powers as a entriloquist alone.
but so generously contributed this
handsome sum in aid of our cause. We
seldom meet with strangers who take
any interest in others than themselves,
anil when we do find a man possessing
the same noble and generous heart that
our friend has, we shall always be ready
to appreciate his talents, integrity and
true benevolence in the right spirit.
May he always prosper in his honest
and humble calling, is the earnest prayer
Of the Mascnic Female College."
TJ. S. Circuit Court. Since the aboli
tion of the moiety system in the reve
nue service.t he libel docket of this Court
has grown slim. Heretofore at each
term ol tue Court there would be from
seventy five to one hundred casts
docketed but now. since the abo
lition of the moiety system, the cases
are lew and tar between. At the last
November term of this Court, only one
case o I this character was returned and
uot a single one has been returned, to
the coming June teim. It is said that
al next June term of the Court none

Death of an Aged Citizen. Mr
W. E. Lee, an agedcitizen residing just
west ol this city, died yesterday morn
ing at 7 o'clock, alter alter ah illness of
some few days from pneumonia. The
deceased ws some 70 years of age, aud
was for a number of years an employee
in the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad
shops. He leaves a wife and six children.
Rev. Db. Pendleton -Traveling
in the Interest of the Lj&e CnuRCH
at Lexington. This eminent Divine,
well known as Gen Pendleton, Chief of
Artillery of the -Army of Northern
Virginia, accompanied by his daughter,
arrived in this city on yesterday after
noon, and took rooms at the Yarboro
House. ';-'"' "'"''', : '';:'.' ;.
Gen. Pendleton is on a mission to
the Southern towns and cities, in behalf
of theXee Episcopal Church at Lex
ington,' Virginia. The design of this
Church originated with Gen. Robert E.
Lee, and at hi3 death was uncompleted.
At the request cl the Washington-Lee
University, Gen. Pendleton consented to
visit the Southern States to raise funds
for the -completion of Gen. Lee's plans
in connection with the Church.
We are pleased to learn that General
Pendleton wall readffis'MEMoniAL' Ad
dress, in this city this evening, the
place to be announced by hand-bills to
day. This address was first read on the
20th of January last, at the anniversary
celebration of Lee's birth-day, and was
prepared at the request of the students
of Washington Lee University and citi
zens of Lexington, and has since been
read at Lyrichburg to an immense audi
ence. General Pendleton's intimate personal
acquaintance with General Lee emi
neutly fits him for the task of portray
ing the life, character, and service of
oH:r late ' distinguished Confederate
chieftain. General Pendleton was close
ly associated with General Lec during
the most trying periods of the war, and
therefore can speak of his personal
knowledge concerning the latter's pri
vate virtues as well as great public
wortlu
We bespeak for General Pendleton a
large outpouring to-night of the pat
riotic citizens of Raleigh.
I here will be no admission fee to
hear the address, persons being allowed
to contribute to the fund subsequent to
the addres?, if they think fit.
St. John' College at Oxford. It
is generally known that this property is
now owned by the Grand Lodge of
Masons of this State. There are, it
is supposed, claims, though not of a
Urge amount, against i he Grand Lodge
on account of the erection of the build
ing?, &e. The Grand Lodge, at its
annual communication in December last,
appointed a committee composed ot
Messrs. R. W. York, F. II. Busbee, W.
1C. Cox, Geo. B. Harris and Sion II.
Rogers to ascertain if possible the ex
act amount of such claims and report
to the Grand Lodfe at its next annual
rbornmunication.
ItM here suggested to all parties
such claims against the Graud
Lodge on account of the College, in the
form of accountsor bonds and notes, to
send copies of thesame, with all the
proofs necessary to enable the commit;
tee to form a correct opinion to R. W.
York, chairman of the committee, at
Morrisville, N. C.
In a 1 1 cases where a compromised
tendered the terms should be clearly
and distinctly stated. It would be well
for ail claimants to act promptly in
heeding this notice.
That Constitution. Some time
ago we alluded to the fact that a letter
h id been received by the State Libra
rian from a party in Wisconsin, stating
that the original draft of the first Con
stitutiou ef this State was in the posses
sion of a person in that State, having
been taken from the State Library du
ring tle war. Yesteiday we received a
note from O. II. Peiry, Esq . a former
State Librarian, stating that no such
document had ever been deposited in
the State Library, and, consequently
could not have taken therefrom. We
alluded to the letter at the time of its
reception as an item of interest, but knew
nothing of the facts which it alleged to
set forth.

troupe left this city yesterday for Fay

here that this troupe is in everyway

Gilham's Cotton Fertilizer. We
direct attention to the new advertisement
of Messrs. C. W. Grandy & Sons, in
this morning's issue, giving the tub
stance of Capt. J. R. Thigpen's tests

proved the Gilhatu Cotton Fertilizer to
be the best of all. According to
Capt. Hi ig pen's experiment, Gilham's
Fertilizer realized $12 97 per 180 lbs.
Capt, Thigpeu is well known as one of
the best and most enterpusing farmers
in the State.

more insidious in itx approaches than the
too fatal destroyer of health and happiness
of myriads "consumption in its ghastly
form " The duty of all is to gnard against
its first ad vancts. This may be done by the
timely use of Dr. Tutt's Expectorant.
' " Boston, February 0,1870.' "
Dr. Tutt : -' - -
Dear Sir Will you please inform me at
what druggist, in New York, I can get your
Expectorant, as I can use some of Ft to ad
vantage, having seen the effect of it on a
friend of mine? I am fully satisfied that It
has but to be tried to establish its merits.
It works like magic. What is your whole
sale price, delivered in New York? Let me
know where it can be had for the present ,
in New York, and I will communicate
further with you at another time..
Very truly yours, ' .(.
