Excursion of the Raleigh Baptist
Sunday Bcuooh to Haywood A
Beautiful. May Queen Ceremony
A Cloudy Day But a Good Time.
The excursion of this Bchool to Hay
wood, Chatham county, yesterday came
off with no little eclat. Its pleasures
were eDioyed by both old and yonng,
and so heartily were they entered into
by the participants that good feeling
and happy faces more than made up
for the absence of the eun which was
hidden by angry clouds. As per pro
gramme, the pupils and teachers ot the
school assembled at the Church at G:30
a.m., and formed for the march to the
depot to take the train. At 7:30 the
Chiet Marshal, Major A. M. Lewis, gave
the word of command, and the pro
cession moved on to the place of
embarkation. Never has our little city
witnessed such a large turnout ol sun
day school children, that is, by one
denomination. While', the lront was
considerably below the court house, the
lear had not passed through the south
gate of the Capitul.
At the depot a long train of corrfor
table cars were found in readiness, un
der the charge of Captain Dallas Ward,
the popular and gentlemanly couductor
of the Raleigh & Gaston It. R. Through
the exertions of the Marshals and their
Assistants, the largeciowd were seated
without any confusion, and at 8 o'clock
the whistii of engine No. 3, run by that
skillful engineer Mr. Mortimer Flem
miug, sounded its note of warning and
in a moment we were speeding on the
way toUlaywood the Haywood which
once so jlarrowly escaped greatness.
Here it will not be , inappropriate to
mention the historical fact that Hay
wood odce came within one vote of
wresting from Raleigh, the honor of
being the Capitol of . the State. Raleigh
was saved bv the vote of Hon. Burton
Craige, ot Salisbury.
The location of the University of the
State at this point was also seriously
contemplated at one time. Some
sixty years ago the late Judge A.
D. Muiphy and David -Mebane suc
ceeded in getting ihe Legislature to
appropriate $100,000 to the Cape Fear
DeepliiveriNavigation Gompany scnerne,
and conceived the idea of making Hay
wood, which is situated at the junc
tion of the Haw and Deep rivers form
ing the Cape Fear, a city. The place
i t i i 1 a.
was regularly laid on inio iown iois,
and through the representations and
influence of these uentlemen purchasers
were not lacking. Buildings sprung
up in ail auectious, una a glorious
future seemed opened up for Haywood.
But, alas Irtor human foresight 1 The
i ana ior tne navigation oi me iiei
tailed, parties who had built ware
houses, storehouses and residences ue
came tlissaysiied wuu ineir lnvesimcais
and went so far as to pull them down
and remove the timbers to other locali
ties, and HavYvood in a short time re
lapsed into its pristine insignificance.
But to the excursion.
Alter a oleasant run ot neailv two
hours Haywood was reached, and dis
finharkimr the excursionists were con
ducted to the beautiful Academy grove
where the feature of the dav Came on
the
CKOWXJXG OF THE MAY QUEEN.
How shall we describe the beautiful
scene ? We confess our utter inability
to do so adequately. To do it credit a
bly requires some of the genius of poe
try. A May po'e beautifully decorated,
a with throne for the Queen at its base,
was erected in the prettiest part of the
crrnve and soon the lame 'crowd formed
a circle arouud, eagerly awaiting the ap
pearance of the lovely Queen and the
roval nartv. Soon strains of soft mu3ic
heralded "the May Queen and her at
tendants. - Would we were an adept
at the att of word-painting that Yve
micrht. now nav fittintr homage to the
lovely little Queen, Miss Minnie llcck
Her lovely young face, sylph-like lorm,
and tistelul dress blended so exquisitely
Yvith the beautiful surroundings that
the scene s eemed passios in dreamland
too beautiful to be real.
Unexpectedly we are called upon to
abridge this article, and therefore it is
impossible to describe tne details of the
ceremony. We can give only theordtr
in which the royal party approacned
the throne, which was as follows :
Flower Girls and Boys.
Sceptise Bearer, Tom Pescud,
Crown Bearer, Laurie Pritchard,
Queen's attendant, Miss Mary Lewis,
Queen and Crowner, Robr. William
son. .

Allen Fleming and Minnie Gorman.
During the crowning' several appro-
prite 6ongs Yvere rendered, Mrs. W. H.
Dodd presiding at the organ.
At the conclusion ot the ceremonies
nun!-, fliwl iirvnrnnriate remarKS weic
made bv Rev. Dr. Pritchard, Prof
Willie J. Palmer, Mr. Edgar, of Canada,
and W. II. Pace. Dinner was soon ai-
tp.r announced and cnioyed. Ju?t as the
excursionists Yvere getting ''on tne iraiu
to return home the long threatened rain
commenced and when the depot in this
oitv was reached it was pouring.

Oxford Items. Our Oxford corres-
der.t under date of yesterday, sends us
the following items of interest from
his section :
A few nights ago, while Mr. James T.
Hunt was at supper, a daring robbery
was committed by a thief or thieves
Yvho entered the lumber house adjacent
to his store and purloiued therefrom
some bacon, flour and other articles.
The concert at the Osborn House on
Tuesday evening by the ladies of Oxford
was a most decided success. Those
present were at a loss to determine
wdiether the refreshments in the shape
of ice cream and cake, prepared for the
occasion, were, the more refreshing,
or the music by which they were
refreshed. The purpose of the enter
tainment was to raise lunds lor tLe
North Carolina Orphan Asylum, and
resulted in the realization ot over one
hundred dollars for that laudable ob
ject. Gen. Cox, the popular bolicitor
ot this district, contributed hity dollars
for the benefit of the Asylum. Another
accession of 4 inmates has just arrived,
swelling tfce whole number to forty.
We trust the liberality of the people ol
the State will increase in a ratio com-.
mensurate with the numerical strength
of the Institution.
Judge Albertson is still holding Court
here. His bearing on the bench is
marked by impartiality, and he com
mands by his courtesy the respect ol
the people and the bar.
Cyrus Mas?, colored, charged with
various offences, he. has sentenced to
ten years imprisonment in the Penitcn
tiary. - -
Sam Lyon, colored, an accomplice of
Mass in crime, has been sentenced for
five years in that hospitable abode.
.THick Day. convicted of stealing beef
from the late Daniel A. Paschall, vvps
sentenced to the Penitentiary for five
years.
Sam'l Daniel, colored, who took Mr,
John W. Pittard's horse under circum
stances heretofore detailed in the Neyvs,
from the lot in rear ol Henderson Hunt
& Co's store, has also been assigned
gratuitous lodging m the Penitentiary
lor 5 years.
And last but not least, Charuer
Towns, another colored person, formerly
a County Commissioner, has been sent
enced to four months imprisonment in
jail and adjuged to pay a fine of time
hundred dollars, having been convicted
on the charge of buying stolen tobacco,
kaoYving it to have been stolen.
It is needless to add that Messrs. Cox
and Busbee are discharging their duties
as prosecuting officers in a most efficient
manner.
The Penitentiary.' We. visited for
the first time since the inauguration ot
the new Board of Directois of the Peni -tentiary
that Institution yesterday, and
Yvas shown around and through the
premises by Jno. R Harrison, who as
one of the Directors devotes nearly his
entire time to its management. We
were much pleased Yvkh all we saw and
can te'Sliiy mat as ia-i as appeal auees
will show that the nenv management is
maintaining the high standard of their
worthy predecessors.
Capt. Thompson, the Warden, is no
neYv hand at the bellows, and there i9 no
room to doubt but that the manaj
ment of the Institution in his hands
Yvill redound to hi3 and the State's
credit., -
We observed many new improve
ments going (fn, the building of tin and
sheet iron manufactury, nevy Looms for
the female convicts; ueeded improve
ments to the cells, and a general clean
ing up and overhauling in every depart
ment.
The new Board has recently pur
chased from Mr. Boylan one and one
third acres of land adjoining that por
tion of Ihe grounds-wherein .the quarry
is situated, which will enable them to
work the quarry Yvith better results, and
obtain a sufficiency of work for all pur
poses. The stockade will be extended
so as to take in this new purchase.
The wall known as the " Hicks" wall
s low completed to nearly the termi-
. . T-i - i . ti t 7 1 : . i
n u s to the pastern line. mv. xiicks
the architect, has raiseel for himself a
monument in the building of the wall
that will last through ages. There is
no structure in North Carolina that
will compare with it, either in its gi
gantic proportions or the workmanlike
8tyle in which it has been executed.
There are now about four Hundred
.i -r. 1 1 - I. 1 -
convicts m tne renitenuary, au auie
bodied men and women and a plenty of
woik for at least tour hundred more.
WTe only saw six cases in the Hospital
none of which were dangerously ill, and
never was the sanitary condition of the
Institution better.
We left the grounds satisfied that il
this new broom continues to sweep as
clean no one will have occasion to
crumble, at the management of the
Institution, though it could have been
in better hands.
The Editor of The Biblical
Recorder in a New Role. In the
following, which we would have pub
lished sometime ago, but for a trembling
fear and dread of the hero of the story
whose trenchant pen is too formidable
to battle against, we snail carefully
avoid dates and names, as ''truth hurts:"'
Brother Mill?,the editor of the Biblical
Recorder, of this city, the organ of the
Baptist Church of the State, attends at
the proper season all the Associations
that he can reach, in order to report the
proceedings, Last fall he visited
the extreme Western portion of North
Carolina to attend the regular
River Baptist Association The section
was rather thinly, populated, - and the
brethren in attendance somewhat
rnerous;the natives were that high.
and noble class of our citizens, who
made no ostentatious shOYV ot
palatial residences, but in their neat,
comfortable aud comely double story
log houses extended ; a hospitality so
true and genuine that the highest
potentate on earth might relish with
more real pleasure 'than all the marble
wails, carved fronts, irescoed coatings,
anil sumptuous living could give.
Brother Mills had the good fortune
on mis occasion to stop wuu a Kind
hearted old brother, who had also
taken in four Ministers uith tlieir iches.
There were only four rooms to the
building, which would leave only two
for company with . a tight stretch at
that.
After supper the first night, the entire
company were gathered together in the
chamber room of the family which
served on this occasion as the general
sitting-room. Evening prayers yvere
said, after which, the lour ladies left
the room accompanied by the lady of
the house. Alter the lapse of an hall an

Socn the old gentleman returned
with a candle in hand and said, "breth-

course oueved tne direction, and witn-
out even a cessation of his tongue, fol
wed the old gentleman with the can
dle, the four brethren following him to
a large room upstairs with a bed in
each corner. In surveying the situation
Bro. Mil.s discovered in ihe bed he first
saw the fall of a nightcap just over one
eve that was peeping out. and a Imger
energetically beckoning to one of tne
brethren lust in his rear. As he turned

M. - Holt, oi Alamance, was elected
resident of the Company to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Hon. Wm. A. Smith.
NOON DISPATCHES.
The Atlantic Rank Affairs the
Vienna Exhibition and American
Exhibitors.
New York, May 1. An examination
into the Atlantic Bank ahairs shows
that Taintor loaned over $340,000 on
securities which nave disappeared.
Among the loans are $90,000 to L. H.
Niles, a broker, and $35,000 to an under
clerk ol Niles. Nearly all the loans
lave been made within three months.
There is great discrepancy in the ac
counts on the books and the statements
of the depositors. One of the Directors
overdrew his account six thousand dol-
ars the day before the failure of the
Bank.
A Vienna special states that the
Prince ot Wales, accompanied by Prince
Arthur, visited the Exposition building
yesterday. There are. over 7,000 loads
of articles yet to be unloaded for the
Exposition only two hundred of which
can be unloaded per day, and it will be
the end of June before the Exhibition
will be in full show. The opening cere
monies will be devoid of. Military dis
play. At the meeting of the American
Exhibitors at Vienna yesterday, great
indignation was expressed at the fact
that the late Commissioners had leit no
list of Exhibitors nor the plan of ar
rangemont of places for American Ex
hibitors. Everything American is in
conlusion. The Exhibition Managers,
however are offering all facilities for
classifications of American goods.
cibly reminded him of terrapins "drap
piDg" in a lace.
It Brother Mills hael retreated in good
older just at this trying crisis the poiut
of our joke, would be lost, but not so
It .was a scene sufficient to bewilder
even him, and yvnile struggling to re
cover himself, in order to explain his
mistake, the old gentleman advanced
to the door, and saying "well, brethren,
you know where your wives are," im
mediately blew out the candle,' leaving
Brother Mills standing in the centre of
the room.
Here our story ends ; what became of
Brother Mills, or how he got out
of that room, we don't know.
Suffice it to say, that in this true nar
rative we have not even draYvn on our
imagination for the first fact.
In leaving the subject we will re-state
that nothing but lear has kept this
story back so long, but as the deed is
done, t.nd we cau t take it back, now
in the language of a Representative ot
a good old Democratic county, in the'
Legislature of 1870, when he voted for
the "Convention bill," "we ask the
prayers of the congregation in our be-
hall."
Snanish Affairs Don Alfonzo Re
ported. Defeated.
Madrid, May 1. Don Alfonzo is near
Monerosa in the Province ot Barcelona,
at the head of a band ot two hundred
Carlists. His wife accompanies him.
The Carlists continue to burn railway
stations, using petroleam "to facilitate
their operations. They hive also torn
up the railroad track and destroyed the
telegraph wires at several points within
the past few days. Their military op
erations, however, have been much re
stricted bv the activity ot troops.
The government is Banguine that the
insurrection will soon be suppressed.
Later A telegram from Cerevera in
the Province of Levina, near the line of
Barcelona, announces that the troops
had come up with and defeated Don
Alfonza's baud, before reported in that
vicinity.

Death of Commodore Smith A Ter
rible Tradegy in Kentucky.
St. Louis May 1. Commodore Wil -
Ham Smith who commanded the frigate
Congress yv hen sunk by the Confederate
Ram Merrimac, is dead, aged 70 years.,
Advices from Marshall county, Ky.
gives an account of a tragedy in that
county some days ago. It appears that
a year ago, James Daughtery married a
daughter of Howell Smith. They
lived unhappily , and finally
separated. On Monday last Smith told
Dougherty he could settle the difficulty
between him and his wife. Dougherty
instantly shot the old man dead, and
fled, subsequently he was captured and
was being taken back to Marshall
county, when, a son of the murdered

Dear Sir : The proposition in regard to
Congleton's Vegetable Sal-e as stated in
the Daily News a day or two ago is in the
main i rue, but I desire to put it in a more
tangible form, so every one may under
stand it. It is this, I prepare two size
boxes of the Salve, one for 25 cents, and a
larser box for SI. holding six times as much
as a small box.
I propose that for every dollar sent to me
through the mail ordering a large box of
Salve from May 1st, 1873, to May 1st, 1874, to
send a box, postago paid, to the address of
the person ordering,, and donate ahalf dol
lar either to the Orphan Asylum at Ox
ford, N..C, or to the-endowment vfund of
Wake Forest College, as the parties may
desire, and dlfect when ordering.
Very respectfully,
