TnK May Queen. In our notice
yesterday of the occasion of the Baptist
Sunday School of this city to Haywood,
we were so pressed for space that our
description of the crowning of the May
Queen was very meagre. We now
make a slight amend by givin the
speeches of the participants in the'eere
mony. - , -.
Master Robert Williamson, the royal
escort, in placing the crown upon the
head of the loyely Queen, said :
"As twip we round thy beautious brow'
These bright and fragrant flowers, ,
Alay lile, and peace, and bl'ss as now.
Crow n all ihy coming hours."
THE queen's REPLY.
"Thanks to you, my subjects all,
Tho' subjects of a dav,
Your qaeen Is proud of reigning
O'er minds so pure and gay ;
Your love my friends, but shames me,
Alas! 'lis undeserved,
And by its magic power
My heart is nigh unnerved ;
But never, do believe me,
8hall I forget this day
When kindly you receiye me.
And make me Queen or May.'
A little flower girl then approached,
and placing a garland on the Queen,
said :
"Bring flowers, bring garlands, bring scep
tre, bring crown,
Call blessings, and pleasures and treasures
aiiown
Upon her, our Minnie,
The queen of our choice,
And lender her homage
With loud ringing voice."
The sceptre bearer then came forward
and presented this emblem of authority
to Her Majesty, saying :
"Take, fiir Queen, this sceptre now.
Which in my hand you nee ;
The flowery crown is on thy brow,
'Tis mete, we give this thee.
Rule us not by fear, but love,
For by this we niny be led,
May every biessing from above
Descend upon thy head."
To this address the Queen made the
iollowing gracious reply
"To you, gentle friends, who this symbol
bestow,
Of my sway o'er your glee-loving hours,
May peacefully glide, as yon streamlets
cairn flow,
Your life ever radiant,with flowers."
A Runaway. Thursday eveniag an
old slab-sided, rawbone steer, drawing a
two wheel cart, loaded with a bag of
meal, two plows, a sack of 6alt, a mid
dling ol meat, a jug of sundries, (that's
what we call 'em in our traveling ex
pense account) and a drunken man came
down Fayetteville street, and just oppo
site our otlice encountered the parade
of the colored firemen, which was
preceded hy Stanley's Oak City Brass
Band. We th nk the steer could have
withstood the tootiug and drumming,
but the red shirted firemen and the fire
engine was too much lor him, and he
concluded to bach out of the approach
ing difficulty. His backward movement
wus decidedly quicker than his forward
movement, and when the wheels of ,the
cart struck one of Stronach's cotton
tales, so sudden was the jar that the
jug of sundries rollod out and was
smashed to pieces. The sudden jar and
"smash up ' aroused the man Irom a
semi-slumber, who vociferously shouted,
"Whoa !" and with a stroEg pull, and a
pull altogether, pulled the rope from
the steer's horn. Thus unmanacled
and closely pressed by the advancing
red shirters, the steer sought flight up
Fayetteville street, in the directiou
irem whence he came. The boys ran
on and cheered ; this excited the dogs,
who also joined in the chase, and the
scene that ensued, decidedly the most
amusing we ever witnessed, is beyond
description. ; Above the diii of the boys'
and dogs, the rattling ot the cart aud
the music of the band, could be heard
the whoa shouts of the half inebriated
man lis he clung with a death-like
tenacity to his sack of salt in the cart.
As the steer advanced,' the number of
boys and dogs increased. Where he
stopped, (if he has jet) we have' not
learned.
Majok Seaton Gales. The Wil
mington Star, in its issue of Thursday,
has the following concerning the ad
dress of this gentleman in that city :
"The address of Major Seaton Gales
at the Opera House last night, the oc
casion being the Anniversary of the in
troduction of Odd-Fellowship in Amer
ica, was largely attended, quite a num
ber of ladies being among the audience.
Major Gales fully sustained the very
flattering reputation which had pro
ceded him as a public speaker, and his
remarks were listened to with every
evidence of appreciation by those
present. His address abounded ia much
useful information in reference to the
Order, ot the history and working of
which he proved himself thoroughly
conversant. He is a pleasant and agree
able speaker, and his address altogether
was very entertaining, not only to the
members of the Order, but to others.
Cape Fear Lodge is to be congratu
lated on being so fortunate as to secure
the services of a gentleman ?o well
qualified to rill the measure of their ex
pectations on the interesting anniversary
occasion which they last evenic
brated." '

The Board of County Commissioners
met at the Poof House. yesterday. No
business of general importance was
transacted " '
" Marvel Not. " Since the time
that Hugh Jones, of Warren county,
sent Nucklcs and Bragg, the champion
marbleists of Old Shatter, to
Petersburg to play a champion game
with Virgina's best ; (a full account of
which we propose to give in a few days,)
the game of marbles has ceased to excite
the interest that characterized it pre
vious to that time, at least, so we
thought, but recent experience proves
otherwise. Returning from Oxford
Court last week, we halted for twenty
minutes at Kittrells, Granville county,
station on the Raleigh & Gaston Rail
Road, for dinner. As we stepped off
the train, we espied :a large crowd ol
men and boys, women and girls of all
ages, sizes, colors and nationalities, a
short distance from the depot. Curiosity
led us to the spot where we first
encountered, an old gentleman iu a
plain, but somewhat ragged suit ol
homespun, "What's the excitement?"
we asked. "The same old main,"
answered our man, who lor the -first
time looked at us, and seeing we were
a stranger proceeded to give a full
history of the "main" as he termed it.
From the interview, we obtaiued the
following facts : 1
The main of marbles commenced at
Kittrells on the 3rd day of March, and
will end on the 3rd of June, just ninety
days from its commencment. It is
played by the champion player of
Franklin vs. Granville's best man in that
line: The rules laid down by Messrs
Nuckles & Bragg trie champion players
of their day at Old Shatter, in Warren
county, are observed in the game, and
the Umpires are very rigid in enforcing
a strict observance ot said regulations.
So determined are they that at some
times a stranger passing would thick
the Modocs had taken the country;
though, the game goes lively on and at
tracts hundreds of idle spectators,
(mostly colored,) who are delighted
with the skill ol the players and amused
at their enthusiasm. Money changes
hands around the ring with the same
freedom it would around a Spanish cock
pit, but in sums ranging from one cent
to twenty-flve ; in seme instances fifty
cents bus changed hands on the game,
while much is staked on the final result.
One darkey from Franklin has waged
his whole crop of melons against a
good 'possom dog, while another put up
his steer and cart against en old shot
gun.
It seemed to us a little singular to
see tw o grow n men with coats off,
sleeves roied up, suspenders tied around
their waist, their heads 'bound
up with a red cotton handkrehief, eyes
streaming fire and tLe perspiration Tun
ing down their faces like rain from an
old hill mirbleing for a championship.
But so it is; iu breathless silence these
two champions p'ay day in and day out,
rain or shine. We looked on in perfect
astonishment wondering how a parcel
ot grown men (not boys) could leave
their homes and business and spend so
much valuable time at nothing. But to
satisfy us, we were told that this game
was played to decide the championship
betAecu Granville and Franklin and
the winner was to come in immediate
posses&ion of not only the champion's
belt, but one hundred and twenty-six
ot the best agate maibles to be had in
Petersburg. We will give result of the
game and full particulars when it is
ended.
Trinity Items. Our Trinity College
correspondent j Under recent date, gives
us the following items :
F. Milton Kennedy, D. D., of Macon,
Ga., will preach the Annual Sermon to
the graduating class on June 11th.
Prof. W. Drub, has accepted a Pro
fessorship in the Greensboro F. College.
The Prolessor is one of the finest schol
ars in the South, and this Institution
will lose one of its ablest men. ? ,
Mr. Long, of Graham,preached an ele
gant sermon to the young men last Sun
day. "Thtf sermon was very appropri-
te and much needed.
It is the universal desiieol the yjung
men, .hut Woodson should, attend the
Commencement, and then tell the ladies
lat we are all good and sober boys.
This we cannot make them believe.

The First Anniversary of the
(col'd) Bucket Company Nov!.' We
are more than gratified to state that the
exercises at the first Aoniversary of the
. . - .
colored Bucket Company, which consist
ed principally of speaking, was a pleas
ant and enjoyable affair. . We heard
several of the addresses, both by mem
bers of the "Victor" and ''Bucket," and
lrom the general sentiment we are led
to believe that the colored firemen are
determined to push forward and onward
in their organizations and render them
selves more efficient and prompt. The
Bucket is now one year old, have attend
ed five fires and were first at four. They
are a fine body of men, principally me
chanics, are well officered and: display
an interest in their organization that
will enable them to succeed. We wish
them one hundred more anniversaries.

Complimentary Dinner to Mr.
Vick. The "Wilmingtonians gave a
complimentary dinner Thursday even,
ing, at the Purcell House, to Mr. S. W.
Vick, recently saved in the Atlantic dis-
aster.which lasted until a late hour. The
Wilmington papers say that the occasion
was one of a most pleasant character,
acd numerous toasts were drank and
responded to. A.moDg others wa3 one
to "North Carolina," which was re
sponded to by Major Seaton Gales, of
this city. Says the Star
'Major Seaton Gales, of Raleigh, was
called upon to do the honors of this
toast, which he did in the most - hand"
some manner. The speech of Major
Gales was one of the chastest, most
beautiful and eloquent impromptu
efforts to which we ever listened. He
paid a noted tribute to a late son of
Wilmington, of whose memory we are
all proud, audihientioned-in terms of
nigu praise, t ne enterprise, me cnivairy
and the moral worth of the Cape Fear
section, not forgetting in his fine enco
mium the city of Wilmington, which
he proposed as a toast.""
Hurrah for Randolph ! J. C.
Fuller, Esq., a prominent farmer ot Ran
dolph county, living 10 miles west of
Ashboro, brought to the city yesterday
five of the fattest and best beeves that
have graced the Raleigh market this
season. He rode the fattest horse, wore
the best clothing and we would like to
say was the best looking man. that has
been in Raleigh for the past season, but
our conscience won't permit the last as
sertion. At any rate, if he is a fair
specimen of his county, then we say
Hurrah for Randolph !
The beeves were bought by Mr.
Crawford, and will be offered at his
stand in the market this morning.
Maxor Bingham's Lecture We

of the excellent lecture ot Major Bing

to the lateness of the hour when it was

Bingham was a crowning success, and

A Strike Partially Successful.
Providence, R. I., May 2. The
threatened strike for ten hours is par

no violence. The larger mill owners

tion. Woolen manufacturers would like
a general suspension of work. It is
probable that cotton mills will shut
down temporarily if there is trouble in
getting help to run on the present basis.
