This case is a capital one and excited a
good deal of interest. Hie following
extract from the Daily News of the

according to the evidence taken before
the committing magistrate :
''Rachel Whitaker, col . wasarraigned
vesterday afternoon before D. A. Wick

the house of one Richard W ood,, col.,
who lives near the Rock Quarry. It
seems that Richard was aroused from
his slumbers early yesterday mornin
T.e
about tne hour ot 4, by the roar
flames near his bed. Jumping up and
running out, he found the end of his
house near the chimney,, on fire, and
saw and recognized Rachel as she was
retreating from the spot. bue hart
brought a lot of kindling wood" and
piling it against the end of the house
set fire to it, Richard succeded in ex
tinguishing the flames after a consider
able hole had been burnt in the end ot
his house. The day previous, Wood
had come upon Rachel just as she had
taken the liberty of drawing the staple
which fastened the padlock to the door
of his house, preparatory to entering
and helping .herself, and had caused tier
arrest, but she was discharged for some
lack of evidence, and thi3 attempt at
arson .was to "revenge herself, pquire

The Election in Wake County on
the 24th of April We hear frequent
inquiries as to the object and effect of
the election on the 24th inst., and pub
lish the iollowing brief statement for
the information of the public:
The Constitution, Article IX, Section
3, provides that each county, of the
State shall be divided into a convenient
number of districts, in which one or
more public schools shall be maintained
at least four months in every year ; and
it the county commissioners of any
county shall fail to comply with the
aforesaid requirements of this section,
they shall be liable to indictment."
To carry out this proyisiou the last
Legislature in the school bill enacted
" Section 37. In addition to the State
and county capitation taxes appropria
ted by the Constitution and other reve
nues heretofore provided by law for the
support of public schools, there shall
the support and maintenance of public
schools, eight and one-third cents on
pvprv ininrirefl dollars' worth of nron-
erty and credits in the State and t wen-
tv.tive cent8 on every p0H in addition to
.J - , .
taxes in me revenue law.
"Sec. 24. If the tax levied in this
act for the support of the public schools
shall be insufficient to maintain one or
more schools in each township for the
period of four months, then the county
commissioners of each county may levy
annually a special tax to supply the
deficiency lor the support, and mainte
nance ot said schools for the period of
four months. The said tax shall be col
lected by the sheriff in money, and he
shall be subject to the same . liabilities
tor the collection and accounting for
said tax as he is or may be by law in
regard to other county taxes. ihe said
tax 6hall be levied on all property,
credits and polls of the county, and in
the assessment of the amount upon each,
the commissioners shall observe
and the fund thus raised shall be appro
priated in the county in which it is col
lected as provided in section thirty-one
of this wt : Provided, That the ques-
tion ol the levy and collection of said

county at ac election to beheld at the

by the commissioners and conforming
as near as may be to the rules and regu
lations for conducting other elections,

provided in annual elections."
It is further provided in the said act,
that of the funds so collected a part
may be used to pay for half the costs of
repairing, building and furnishing
school houses, and the whole cost of
purchasing school house sites.
The sources ot the school fund, pro-
vided by the State, are theretore, first,
the share ot the income ot the perma
nent fund which the Treasurer ol the
State may allot to this county. Second,
Seventy-five percent, of all taxes levied
upon the poll, and three-eight and one
third cents upon every one hundred
dollars of property and credit. These
amounts arrto be used for school pur-
poses every year, whatever may be tne
vote of the county on the question to be
submitted on thi 24th of April.
Now if these sources Bhall be sufficient
to provide for schools in each school
district for tour months in each year,
pay tor h;ilf the costs of building and
repairing school houses, and the whole
cost or school house sites then no
other tax will be levied,- however the
Deonle vote on the 24th of April. But
if they are not sufficient in amount for
all these purposes, and the people vote
to levy a tax then the county com
missioners must ai!-d to thb assessment
of the taxes a sum sufficient to make up
the deficiency.
It the people vote agaiust the levy of
a tax, then the only sources for schools
purposes will be those mentioned above,
provided by the State;
So that those who vote for school
tax, vote that the county commissioners
shall add to the assessment a sum suffi-
cent to supply the deficiency, if any
exists and tnose wuo vote against tne
school tax, vote to have no other fund
lor school purposes than that provided
by the State.

Iron Ores of North Carolina.
The following letter from the
Wilmington Chamber Jof Commerce
has been received at the Executive
office :
Chamber of Commerce,
W ilmington, N. C, April 10th,
To Tiia Excellency Tod R. Caldwell,
" - Gov. of the State ef North Carolina :
Sin : The attention ol the Chamber
of Commerce having been called to a
plan proposed for collecting, classifying,
analyzing and describing the iron ores
of the several States and territories ot
the United States, with the view of
preparing and presenting the results at
the Centennial inhibition to be held in
Philadelphia in 1876, and this Chamber
being unanimously ot the opinion that
such a plan if properly carried out
will be incalculable advantage to the
whole country and particularly so to
the State of North Carlina, in bringing
her immense and valuable -deposits of
iron ore to the knowledge and attention
ofthe woild; therefore,
Resolved, That we respectfully and
earnestly recommend to his Excellency
to take such steps, as in his judgment
he may deem best, to co-operate
in the proposed plan, and
to make arrangements to have
samples of all the ore beds of the State,
procured and prepared for said exhibi
tion in such manner as will ensure a full
and proper understanding of their ex
tent and value.
Resolved, That a copy of the forego
ing resolution to be sent to Hon. Daniel
J. Morrell, Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the United States Cen
tennial Exhibition, and that he be re
quested to correspond with yourself,
and furnish you with full details of the
proposed plan.
The above being a true copy from the
minutes ot the meeting I have been or
dered to forward you.
Very respectfully,
Richard W. Andrews,
Secretary of Chamber of Commerce.

Fashion Gleanings. For the benefit
of our lady readers, we surrender space
for the publication ol the following brief
fashion notes :
Yah lace, of a soft, creamy white
color, laid flatlv over folds of a darker
. - -
8hade than the dress, will be used exten
.
sively for trimmings.
All kinds of laces are worn, and are
almost invariably laid flat upon the gar
ment and sewed upon both edges.
Swiss muslin trimmings are very pop
ular.
It has become fashionable on silk
costumes to face the trimmings and liue'
the sashes and bows with a strongly
contrasting color.
. When puffings are adopted they are
crenerally placed in nerDendicular lines
upon the front gore of the underskirt, or
about the overskirt.
Swinging cords and tassels are popular
for all kinds of dresses, and add ele
gance to otherwise elegant costumes.
1 he variations in dress materials seem
to be of little consequence compared
with the colors and tints of prevailing
colors,
AU the various metalic colors, rather
than foilage and blossom colors, will
prevail this year.
Bronze browns, copper browns, silver
greys, iron greys, (malachite greens,
browns, cairngorm yellow, etc.. prevail
to the conclusion ot most of the old
favorites.
Foulards and percales, with Persian
horderingsfor ruffles and bands," are
choice and artistic.
Coutille, once used only for corsets, is
to be used as dress goods.
Black grenadines for lull dress are to
be found embroidered in patterns of
leaves and flowers for skirt borders and
other trimmings;
lioses, lilies, poppies, and especially
marguerites, are elegant upon bhicK,
and the.good3 are made into over
dresses to be worn over black silk skirts,
whose sombre lolds cause the embroid
eries to be all the more effective.
Satin striped grenadines, in corabina-
tions of worsted and silk, will be popu-
iar 0r over-dress
Colored silk costumes trimmed with
plaited or ruffled grenadines, gauzes
and crapes of the same shade are no
ticed among the spring importations.
Piaues are softer aud prettier than
I -1
ever; some are plmn. and some era
broidered with Hamburg work, in cius-
ters of leaves and in borderings.
Some of the new prints are very curi
ous ; bugs,bees, birds, and small reptiles
are not uncommon ornaments upon pale
bun or tea colored labrics.
I. O. 0. F. The Jraud Lodge of the
Independent Order of Odd-Ftllows of
