From the following original poetical effusion, sent to the Daily News for publication, we learn that Thomasville, a-small but enterpris ing town in this State, can boast of its share of learned aud distinguished men, Jwliose gre.itnets the world has not be fore acknowledged, but who will, since their praises are sung in verse, now enjoy the fame to which their merits entitle them. Our author has forgotten aiaus omssus to mention Thomas ville's most essentialand use! ul charac ter THE VILLAGE POET, . v h"se lines published below have not onUimmortal ized the literati and other eminent men whose vir;ues are therein commem morflted. but who has added a gem to the poetic literature of the town which deserves to be enshrined and preserved. But perhaps it was modesty in our author that caused the omission above reierred to, and in order to make the poem complete, we add a stanza ol our own for the merit ot which, if there is any, we claim due credit : Of all the poets In the State, I'm sure 1 speak in candor, jNone can be loumi who will compare, In lun, witii MttKUY Andkew In Thomasville.

School. The North Carolina Confer ence Sunday School Society, at its an nual meeting held in Charlotte last week, elected tjie following ojjfiers for the ensuing Veae : Rev. L. S. Burk head, President ; Rev. J. B. Bobbitt, Treasurer : Rev. u. W- Urawtorcl, becre tar : and Rev. A. W. Mangum, Corres- nondim? Secretary. The Dext meeting ot the society win do neia in itaieigu Friends of Temperance. The Semi-Annual Session of the State Coun cil of North Carolina was held in States ville last week, an account of which ap peared in the Intelligencer of that place. But as that paper has been misplaced, we are only able to give such items as we have gathered from delegates who participated in the proceedings. - The meeting was well attended, there being representatives from 23 Councils, located iff the various sections of the State, reaching from the seaboard to the mountains. . ' '.' Rev. George Badger Wetmore, an Episcopal Clergyman and a nephew of the late Hoc. George E. Badger, ot this city, is the President of the State Coun cil and presided at the btatesville meeting. Numbers 6T that "body who saw him in the Chair, accord to him great praise as a presiding officer. As a temperance worker, Mr. Wetmore has but few equals ; none can excel him in devotion to the cause he has espoused and which he is so ably and successful ly advocating. i ' - : ' During the last six months the Friends of Temperance have made a net increase of 20 new Councils and upwards Of a thousand new members, over all losses and the repoits.of both the President and Secretary anticipate a much larger increase during the next six months. The question of consolidating the Friends of Temperance with .the new order recently organized in Tennessee, call the United Friends of Temperance, was discussed, but the State Council took no action further than to express opposition to any consolidation that does tiot receive the san'ction of a ma. jority of the State Councils. A committee, consisting of Rev. G. B. Wetmore, Rev. R. JI. Whitaker, W. W. Cole, Thco. U. Hill and N. B. Bryan was appointed to secure and. put in the field, at the earliest practicable period, a State Lecturer, The, committee held an, laiormai meeting immediately alter tne adjournment of the State-Council,' and decided to oiler the appointment to Mr. W. II. McKenzie, of Fayetteville, wh", we, learn has accepted. Mr. McKenzie will take the field about the first of June. The Stale Council instructed the Secretary to circulate 2000 copies of a memorial among the Subordinate Councils of the State lor signatures which memorial will pray the General Assembly to pass a general bill, grant ing to the several counties the right to hold township elections once each year, to decide the question of license there in. While this body expressed its de cided opposition to the pasage of any arbitrary prohibitory law, it urged with equal zeal the adoption of scuh meas uies as may lead to the enactment of a bill giving local , prohibition whenever the people desire it, anil no ichere else. In this we think the body acted prudently and wisely. During the session of the State Council two public meetings were held at the Presbyterian Church. The one on Thursday night was largelj'attended and General Robert B. Vance, member of Congress from the mountain district. delivered one of the very finest speehes of his life. A very large number ot persons joined the Friends at its conclusion, 'and among them was Col. Jones, editor of the Statesyille Intelligencer. A second public meeting was held on Friday morning, which was addressed by Rev. Dr. Roscoe Hooker. Quite a number joined at the conclusion of his speech. The delegates who weut from this section ol the SUte have had so much to say in praise of Statesville, and the hospitality of its good citizensT we are almost sorry that we had not joined and gons with them. But, it is never too late to do good, and we hope to be among the favored ones, ere a great while ; perhaps in time to go to Tarbnro next November, w here, we leel very certain btatesville hospita lity will be fully duplicated, as we learn that brother Stamps, of the Enquirer, who was a delegate to the Statesyille Ccuncilwill be the master oT ceremo nies on that occasion. We wish the Friends the most abun dant success in their good work,whether we, join them or not ; and, with such men as the order has for its leaders, we feel certain that it will meet with suc cess."". We hope we stand square on the tem perance question now. Now For Water. The new Board of City Commissioners having been duly installed, "we take this early opportuni ty of calling their attention to the great lack of water in the city, and before they commence any other legislation. we trust they will give this vital ques tion their prompt and active' conside ration. It has been a long time since we have had a fire of any magnitude, and sincerely hope the time for such a dis aster may be postponed indefinitely. But what security have we for such hope ? None, and it may be, "before the ink with which this article is written becomes dry, the alarm of fire will be heard, and if so, where can our fire Companies procure , water sufficient, to run their machines fifteen minutes ? This is a serious question, and one put directly to the Conrmissionerp, wbo are supposed to have the interest ef the city in their keeping- ; ' u - ; u-; Much has already, been said and written on the subject ol water works- nothing is left to be .said or written.

Banquet at the National. Last evening the Odd-Fellow fraternity of this city gave a banquet in honor of the Grand Lodge,now in session in this city. The lateness of : the hour at which we write (12:30 a. m.,) precludes the pos Bibility of ' anything like an adequate , description "We can only speak in general terms, reserving details for another time. -The tables were arranged with an elegance and taste which did infinite credit to Mr. Partin, the Superintendent of the Na tional, and those who assisted him, and were liberally supplied with all that could tempt the palate The Order, to gether with invited guests, mustered strong and filled the twenty tables spread. ? 1.

On yesterday a rumor from Fayetteville reached us that the Agent of the Western Rail Road at that place, Mr. A. F. Marsh, had defaulted to the amount of $5,200, and bad attempted to commit suicide by takiilg poison, though he was still living at "last ac counts yet his condition is considered critical. Mr. Marsh is about forty-five years of age, of temperate habits, a strict member of the Baptist church, and enjoyed the full confidence of the entire community in which he resided. We hope that this rumor may turn out to be unfounded, or at least greatly ex- aerated. We trust a thorough ex amination of his accounts may prove that his present difficulties arise rather from unfortunate complications, than a dishonesty of purpose. Mayor's Court. James ' Barms, Charles Ligon and Ed Lane colored youths, were arraigned before the Mays or lor disorderly conduct at the colored Christian Church, (Hayes) at a prayer- meeting, being conducted by "Brother Hardy Cross." It appeared from the evidence." that Bro Cross, in the course ot a most fervent supplication, used a "high: flown" word which , struck Jim Barnes as very appropriate, and Jim, contrary to established custom, respon ded "that's so." Tom Williams rebuked Jim for his bad behavior, then and there. After services were over the three named undertook to remind Jim cf his conduct when a quarrel took place, hence the arrest. Tom, Charles and Ed each left $5 with the Mayor. Worthy of Imitation. Mr. George Allen, of the well known firm of Geo. Allen & Co., Newbern, N.

C: "I enclose as a "Memorial Offering," a contribution to -Oxford Orphan Asy lum of $25, and have entered the Institu tion as a subscriber to the American Agriculturist for 1873." fHow gratetul this would be, could -i'-i.i . i i tney or uiu tney Know it, to many nooie hearts that rest in the graves, decorated with flowers on the day this "Memorial Offering" was presented !
