There were other errors of minor im portance, which the intelligent reader can correct lor himself. Saved by a ScitATcn. As stated in our article yesterday morning, absolute necessity was fast driving us in the runks of. the cold'water fraternity, ow ing to the exceeding scarcity of "the article" in town as reported in the re turns of liquor purchases made to the Register ot Deed3 for this county. .

About sunrise last Saturday, as the down train from Char- lotte passed Cary, a dilapidated old darkey was seen in his shirt-sleeves sit- tins on the tence not far from the denot. rrom the car window a passenger in quired, " Isaj, mister, has the frost killed the cotton ?' The reply of the old darkey was short, touching, and to the point "Boss, I don't want to be considered sassy, but all I'se got to says is, d d the cotton. If the 'simmons ain't kill I'm all hunky." As might well be expected, this emphatic, droll i - - i and unexpected icpiy io me anxious inquiry was greeted with a. roar of Uughter, and the train moved off leav- ing this son of Afric's sunny clime en joying his otium cum digmtate. I his allusion to persimmons stir red up within us recollections of our campaigning in old Virginia during the late misunderstanding. On more than one occasion this much abused fruit has been a delicious morsel to our longing abdomen. Just at this moment a little incident occurs to our mind which we will relate: It was on the 15th of November, 1864, altera weary march, w-e halted not far from Winchester to cook and eat our scant rations, and to prepare for an attack by the enemy's cavalry which were near at band. Our keen and hungry eyes espied in the distance a veritable Persimmon tree, aud taking it as an objective point oil we started at a creditable speed lor a broken down, foot sore sol dier. We arrived in due time in the land of promise, but only to find that other Israelites weie before us. Our colonel, three captains, five lieutenants, and two gentlemen iu dishabille, who had no ensiguia of rank whereby to spot them, two Virginia female field bands and about a dozen or so non-coin - missioners onicers and privates were already there and hard at work. A lit- tl abashed, but nothing dauntedup the tree we went, but hardly had a lodgement been effected, and the much covetea Iruit in our grasp, when a sharp 6nap was heard, and in less time than it takes to tell it, a mass of writhing humanity was precipitated to the ground, a distance of , some 25 feet. Heaven watched over us and we were lodged unhurt on top of a portly quartermaster who, for the time being, had the wind knocked out or him. ve made rood use oi our time while resting on the yielding car cass of this iat functionary. In his pockets theie was a good supply of the luscious fruit, which was rapidly trans ferred to ours. Just as our robbery was complete and consciousness re turned to the Q. M., Sheridan's cavalry bugles were heard gently playing in the distance and approaching"with a rapid- ity which bodtd no gootl to stragglleg rebels. This awoke the whole party to a realization ot the situation, and a rush was made for camp, which we reached just in time to participate in one of the sharpest and bloodiest skir mishes of the war. May. To-day is the first of the "month of flowers." It is the herald ot summer, proclaiming the rout and retreat ot winter. In the olden time no fesiivitv wus looked forward to with more eagerness by the young peo pie than of the first ot May. ho has not read with delight descriptions of Eoglish May day festivities I So graph icaliy and beautifully have they been depicted by various reuowned authors, that one cfan almost see reading them the fair forms of l jvely maidens flit ting before him in the dance around the May-pole, streaming in gay ribbons, the fferings ot their adoring swains. Even in reading ot these olden time lestivities the heart expands into more generous sympathies, and tor the mo ment the as-perities of life are forgotten, Even if time has thrown arourd these recorded scenes the glamour of romance, vet 'tis pleasant to give rein to the im agination and picture them to ourselves in all the bright colors in which they have been portrayed. Iu Catholic countiiesa religious leature enters into the lestivities or this day. its coming is hailed with the tendercst greetings as it ushers in a month set aside ior the honor of Virgin May, the mother of the Redeemer, lu France, Italy and other countries the plain.-?, vallevs and mountains echo to the happy anthem of " Cest le mois de Marie Cest le mois le plus beau.'''' 1 he young men and maidens come out, dressed in their holiday attire, and while gathering the sweetest, fairest blossoms of the field to deck her altar. make the land resound with their happy songs of thanksgiving aud praise. To-day is hailed by all pious Catholics with emotions of deep reverence, and prayers at Mary's shrine will be uttered in accents of profound devo tion. Tucker Hall To-Night Capt. J. Barron Hope. We hop to-see Tuck er nail well filled to-night. ' One of Virginia's most talented sons, Captain James Barton Hope, Editor of the Norfolk Virginian, is to deliver his famous lecture on "The Press ajsd the Printer's Devil." ; ; Capt. Hope is a pleasant speaker and is a gentleman of fine literary and scholarly attainments. ' Our people should show their appre ciation of literary merit by turning out ia large numbers. The lecturer was a gallant "soldier in the late war is a gentleman of the highest sccial position a grandson of the late distinguished Commodore Bar ron, and has many claims upon - our State by the deep interest he has always manifested in our affairs. Capt. Hope has written many beauti ful poems the most celebrated of which perhaps, is the ode read by him at the funeral services over the grave M Annie Cora Lee, (daughter of General Lee,) at the time of the erection of a monument to her memory in Warren county in 1865. . Thomas Moore, a drunken saloon keeper in Richmond, Va., on Sunday night made two attempts to commit suicide by hanging himself. , Unfortu nately, he tailed in both instances. Is There no Remedy ? Sunday night, March the 30th, a party of lour men left Raleigh bound for Yanceyville, the county seat of Caswell, to attend the session of the Superior Court. It was a mixed party, badly mixed. An - Insurance Agent headed the list. He was the oldest man and had the most to say. The second best was a promi nent Guano man from Baltimore. A Raleigh Medicine man was the third, and a newspaper man about our size brought up the rear. On the trip the insurance man severely drummed his imr.i4ncfr - 15f - m)i:r Th cmnno man knew there was not enough money . w wao .Tnmh Znno in the party to buy fertilizers tor a gar den, and seemed disposed more to dis cuss church matters than Soluble Sea Island Guano. The medicineman only occasionally referred to the great cura tive powers of the Antalgic, and as the entire party were patrons of the News the newspaper man only talked of "the neighbors and the weather." The party reached Yanceyville in safety, though the insurance man ltd all to believe that considerable doubt existed as to whether this feat could be accomplished. Mr. Foteat, a clever, genial, kind- hearted old gentleman, who would net take the News because it was a secu- 1 ar paper, kept the Hotel, and as it was Court week, consigned the whole party to one room with three teds. At 10 o'clock all retired, after a lengthy dis cussion as to which two should occupy one b'id. The insurance man said he preferred to be alone ; the guano man insisted that he could not sleep with a mam the medicine man said he could, the newspaper was agreeable, and the two latter "went for" quarters on the largest bed of the three. The light was extinguished, and soon all were asleep except the newspaper man, who heard the insurance man soundly at it. A quiet stillness pervaded the guano man's corner, and the medi cine man seemed so iar gone tnat it would take at least two bottles of his liniment, well rubbed in, even to arouse him but not so ; lor just at that mo ment a rap was made at the door, and he was the first man to ask "who's that ?" The waiter answered outside and said, "I have a gentleman to put iu that room." This aroused the guano man, w ho suggested that this party had stopped taking in. A quick short snort "I . . A 1 over in the. direction oi tne insurance man, and he was awake, "Is the gen tleman under sixty years of age?" asked the insurance man. "He is," was the reply. "Sound and healthy?" klIo io " Turk hprfililnrv rll&nasp nt nv character ?" "None that I know of," answered the gentleman. "Then let him in ; he can sleep with me." The door was opened and an honest old farmer of Person couDtv entered the room and proceeded at ouce to di vest himself of hia garments and went to bed The insurance man, who in the mean time bad surveyed the term and ap pearance of his bed -companion, opened with a 'soliloquy, ns loiiows: "Ah me, here I am, a long distance from a large family dependent on my labor for a support, and life is so uncertain ; only a brittle thread which may be broken at any time. But lor the consolation forded me in the knowledge that my family is provided for by a life insu ranee policy, I should be wretched." (Very seriously) "My friend, are you a family man ?" The farmer answered. "I am." "Is your life insured ? ' "No," answered the farmer,"! .have been a hard working man all my life, nd have rrenerallv succeeded in raising large crops. I am healthy, and I think I can leave my family well-to-do, even if I die now." "JJut," said the guano man. raising on his elbow, "by the use of the Soluble Sea Island you can" (during the lengthy remarks of the guano man in which much was said about "phos phates," ''humors of the soil "" Arill super cede all others," &c, both the honest old farmer and guano man had gotten out ot tied and were sitting in chairs, en duliabille, in the centre ot the room.) The anxious countenance ot the Insurance man, who sat likewise on the lrout of the bed with his naked feet dangling down, can be better imagined than described, and he desired to edge in one more w ord, but now it was the fanners say "I have always used barn yard manure on my farm, and expect to do so again this year, but not only my sous, but most of my servants haye been sick, and "Here I" said the medicine man, who bounced out ot bed, and in less time tiian it requires to sell a box of vegetable salve, pulled out his chest and squaring up to this old farmers lront with a hot tie each of antalgic aud liniment, said "My friend, sickness is unknown in families that use these celebrated ...morllna . ..Till 1" 1 1 t rfttl ' II V - ' ICUlCUlto , nrili puv jwv up Here the old farmer made au attempt to return to the bed, but was confronted by the sentinel on pot at this point, the Insurance man. "My dear old friend, the National Life Insurance, of which you have read so much about in the newspapers " Two dollars for the Weekly, 6even for the Daily," cried the newspaper man, who, for the first time, bounced out oi bed with a copy of the Weekly News in his hand. " General ;news from all sections, State news, latest telegrams, market reports, together with " "Gentlemen, I can stand it no longer. To-morrow, il I am well enough, I'll try aud hear you all, but for the L6rd's sake, let me have a little rest now and fall ing across the. bed, the old farmer was soon asleep. , Un the loiiowmg morning he arose early, paid his bill, and left the town, saviLg something about a " cage ot hyenas," Now, as a public journalist, we ask is there no remedy, either by Legislative enactment or otherwise, to protect the h nest old farmers of Person and all other counties from this roving band of depredators on their time and patience? Nuisances should be abated. There is no excuse for poor Biscuits, Roll-, ; Bread. Griddle Cakes, Muffins, Waffles, &c, when Dooley's Yeast Pow-. der is used. Grocers sell it. The Johnson (colored) Normal ScnooL.-Tbe pupils of this School will have a pic-nic in Mordecai's Grove to-day and a Queen of May will also be crowned. Speeches will be made by the children and music rendered by the Choir. Arrangements have been per fected to make the occasion one of pleasure to all who may attend. The Scholars will start from the school house at 9 a. m., and march to the resi dence of the chosen Queen, and thence to the . Grove. The Queen will be crowned exactly at 1 o'clock p. in. Cit izens generally invited to attend, to wit ness the ceremonies. A.N Extensive "Chicken Ranche." Messrs. Gulley & Green aie making arrangements for the commencement of a new enterprise in this city. They are having enclosed, with a substantial 7 foot fence, an eleven acre lot in the 6outhe-eastern portion of the city, lor the purpose of establishing a " chicken ranch, and will at once place therein more than 1,000 hens, with a view of supplying in part the egg-market of the city. T9hey will invest some $2,000 in this enterprise, and we hope they may find it a paying business. It is not in tended to be converted into the raising of chickens, but solely lor the pioduc- tion or eggs. Sad Accident A Woman Killed. Doc Holland, a colored man, being very ill at bis residence on East Lenoir street, near the Central Depot, sent for his brother, King Holland, and his wife to attend his death bed. When near the city limits the horse became fright ened and ran off with the buggy that contained King and his wite. Both were thrown out, and King escaped with only a slight injury. His wile, Martha Holland, was fatally injured and taken to the house of her dying brother. Both died within a tew minutes of each other, and were buried together yesterday. Now is Your Time. Mr. White, the well known landscapist and sketchist of Warrenton, is in the city lor the purpose of taking views of the State Capital, the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, and the Lunatic Asylums, to be sent to the Vienna exhibition. While in the city, Mr. White will take views ot residences, building, &c, on application. . Now is your time, as Mr. White will only be in town a few days. Distinguished Arrivals. Mr. Theodore Gordon and wife, of England, have just arrived at Kittrell Springs. We welcome to North Carolina all good citizens, whether of native or foreign birth; but hail with delight the arrivals I of all such as the Gordons. The old gentleman has for some time been an invalid and comes to America to visit his son and to try the water at Kit- trells. . ; Two Children Burned to Death. Yesterday Louisia Jones, a colored woman living io a "remote section oi Eastern Ward," left her two children, one thirteen months old, and the other two years, playing around a large log fire on which was a large pot ot boiling water. When the woman returned she found her children in a pool of boiling water, the pot being oveiturned. Personal Intelligence. Col. W. II. H. Tucker, of this city, leaves this morning for the Vieena exhibition. Waverlv Ragland, Esq , of the Peters burg & Weldon Railroad, is registered at the Yarboro. Rev. W: H. Bobbin, of the Christian Advocate, leaves this morning for a tour through Eastern Carolina. A Gin House Burned. We learn that a gin house, together with a num ber of bales of cotton, upon the farm of Col. Walter Clark jn Scotland Neck, Halifax county, was destroyed' by fire on Monday night, occasioning a loss ot some $2,000. It is thought that some thieves first entered the gin house and then set fire to the building. SPECIAL CITY ITEMS.

NOON DISPATCHES. LAVA BED NEWS The Details of the Defeat Confirmed Sherman Telegraphs Grant for Advice Panic among $ett!ers,etc. New York. April s 30. A lava bed special says : It was a fearful trip, and the first four shots were 'only fired to draw the troops more directly between the fire of the Indians on right and left. The rout was complete, and with the exception of officers and non-com- missioned officers, the majority of whom lay stretched on the rocks with their lite-blood ebbing fast away, the watch word was "Suave qui peut. save him- selfwho can. During the night the Indians were creeping through rocks to scalp and strip the dead." Washington, April 30. Sherman has an omcial dispatch lorwarded from Schofield, confirming the lava bed news. Major Green, commanding on the west side of the lava beds, ordered Captain Thomas, with seventy soldiers and four teen Warm Spring Indians, to recon noitre tour miles from camp. The party reached the designated point and were resting. No Indians had been seen. The party was fired upon. A part of the command pannwked, and organiza tion in a great measure ceased. Strag glers reached camp at half-past one P M. 1 Green went to the. assistance of Thomas and found Thomas' command entirely disorganized and scattered. The details are fully confirmed. The casualties were telegraphed yesterday.
