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. . ATTENDANTS. Charlie Holden and Pattie Upchurch, Fabius Brings and Maggie Williams, James Williamson and Lula Heck, Charlie LeYvis and Fannie Heck, Johnnie Hicks and Annie Tomlinson, Ruffia Litchford and Mary Hicks, William Andreyvs and Rosa Neathery, Jimmie Justice and Beulah Holden, Johnnie Lewis and Annie Williams, George Andrews and Nannie Arm strong, Walter Parish and Bessie Litchtord, Willie Hicks and Mary Belvin, 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.

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- . .

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 hour, during which time Bro. Mills entertained the Ministers with the pres ent and luture prospects of the Church, Wake Forest Col.ege, Baptizos, tec, ccc, so interesting to him that lie yvas uncon- sioU3 of the movements going on, th :ntlemau of the house was sum moned by bis better halt to the -pas- s w- -. 1- . sage, t,ro. alius uia not even see mis.; Socn the old gentleman returned with a candle in hand and said, "breth- v r i ren. you mat are married, men, ionow me." Bro. Mills ran on this line, and ot 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 to look elseYvhere in the room the gene ral dodgiug under the bed clothes lor Special to the Daily New. Col.

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.

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 Smith being one of the capturing party, fired on Dougherty wounding him in the head and arm, after which he club bed his gun and with the butt end of it crushed Dougherty's head into a jelly.
