Dr. Shaffner introduced a resolution
authoiizing the Secretary to give credit
on his books to members who will vol
untarily advauce ten dollars to assist in
pajing out the accrued debt of the So
ciety. Adopted.
Dr. Bahnson, as Chairman ol the
Committee on Anasthesia,(plain English
chloroform and ether, read a lengthy
report, which was on motion referred to
the Committee oh Publication.
Dr. Kelly read an invitation to the
S' ciety from Messrs. Wallace Brothers

cated in the town. On motion, the invi
tation was accepted.
The hour having arrived for the in
stallation ot officers, Drs. Summered and
Hines were requested to conduct the new
President to the Chair.
Dr. Norcorn, upon assuming the posi
tion of presiding officer, returned his
thanks, etc , to the Society for the honor
conferred. -
Dr. Whitehead, in retiring,, from the
Chair, delivered one of the most beau
tiful addresses, not only of the session,
but that we ever listened to. The sub
ject was the advancement ot medical
societies, and the duties ot the profes
sion in keeping pace therewith, etc., etc.
lie deprecated, the idea of members of
the nroiesssion dabbling in politics, as
ft,
it lowered the standard of the profes
sion. On motion of Dr. Satchwell, ;a resos
lution was adopted returning to
Dr. Whitehead, the retiring Presi
dent, the thanks of the Society not
only for able and impartial administra
tion ot his office, but tor the truly elo
quent, able and instructive address just
clelivereu. Dr. Satchwell further eulo
lzed the adJress, and said that it
should not only be recorded in the min
utes ot the Convention, but extra copies
ot the address should be issued for the
public.
Dr. Summerell moved that an addi
tional number of copies ot the aadress be
published lor the Society, and a copy
be sent to each editor in the State with
a request to notice, etc. Adopted.
Dr. Foote delivered an oral essay on
the puerpal state ot appoplective convul
sions, citing many cases under his cb
servation where the Hyperdermic Sy
nnpre piovetl more benencial than any
remedy he has ever used.
The remarks ot Dr. Foote in the for
cible, graphic style peculiar to that gen
tleman, narrating his experience with
the Hyperderm'C Syringe, mark i
bright era in the treatment of pain, de
monstrate conclu ively that with this
ne. ind patent instrument the monster
has li'ceived a kinsr, and that human
suffering, in the almost magic reliel fol
lowing its use,is at last within the grasp
of the healer's art. Dr. Foote's report
was received with . marked attention,
and quite a number of the Society con
sulted him immediately on the modus
operandi of hi3 treatment, preparatory
to supplying themselves with the al
powerlul agent. The Dr. also threw i
tew shrapnel at the systems ot "blood
letting so indiscriminately practiced by
some physicians.
lhis led to a general discussion on
the subject which was participated in
by Dr. llappoldt, Lucky, Summerell
Payne, Pierce and others.
Dr. Payne offered a resolution o
thanks to the citizens ct btatesviile lor
the kind hospitality tendered and ac
cepted by the Society during the Ses
sion of the Convention. Adopted
Dr. Satchwell desired to remind the
Committee of Censors of the impor
tance ot the duties ot their position

A Handsome akd Deserved Com
pliment. The Roanoke JSeics, in its last
issue, pays to our distinguished lellow
townsman, Gen. W. R. Cox, the follow
ing handsome and deserved compli
ment, which we take pleasure in repro
ducing in our columns to-day :
"As public journalists, we should be
unjust to the sentiment of the people
with whom we live if wo failed to re
flect, in our columns, some little of the
esteem in which this faithful officer is
held. Called to a most trying position.
n atimeot great difficulty, Gen. Cox
has proved himself more than equal to
the delicate task. It was a most fortu
nate circumstance fior our people that
such a man was fodnd in such an emer-
ncy. No . man? who has attend
ed our Courg for the last five
years but has been impressed with
the fairness, intelligence and high
sense ot public duty invariably, mani
fested by this good officer. No one can
well estimate his influence in mamtain-
ng the good order of society and pro
moting the harmony of all the people.
We have been constantly struck with
the exact impartiality which he has exr
ercised towards both parties and . all
colors. While he has maintained the
full efficiency of his office and made the
aw a terror to evil doers, air good men
lere admire his singular generosity and
magnanimous charity towards the err-
ng and unfortunate.
These remarks are suggested to us
by the universal regret expressed this
week by all the citizens of Northamp
ton county at the fact that Gen. Cox is
no longer to attend that court, the
county of Northampton having been
transferred to the First Circuit.
We confess to a little weakness for
the brave men who held out to Appo
mattox, but we fully represent public
opinion when we say that Gen. Cox's
bearing and patriotism in those dark
days have not surpassed his faithful,
aole and wise discharge of duty a3 So
icitorot this District.
Long mav this pure, gallant and gift
ed son of our State coutinue to honor.
and be honored by North Carolina."
"It's Me." Passing a neat little resi
dence the other evening, we happened
to see a man waiting at the door for
admittance. At the instant a creen
blind just opened a little way, and by
the gas light we caught a glimpse of a
pair ot brilliant eyes, and a flutter ot
something white, and a bird-toned voice
said: "Who's there?"
"It's me," was the brief response.
The eyes and the brief flutter disap
peared from the window like the stars
in a cloud, and we fancied, as we pass
ed on, we could hear the pattering of
two little feet up the stairs,winged with
welcome.
It was a trifle ; it all happened in an
instant, but it haunted us tor an hour.
It's me! Amid the iar of the city.
those words fell upon the quick ear
aloft, and met a glad response.
It's me ! And who was ''me ?" The
pride of a heart's love, no doubt ; the
tree a vine w as clinging to ; the "defen
der of the laUhful," in the best sense in
the world.
It's me ! Many there arc who would
ve halt their hearts, and more than
half the hopes in them, for one such re
cognition in this "wide, wide world."
In the directory, at the post office, he
was known as A. B C. Esq.. but on
that threshold, and within those ' wall's
its me, and nothing more; and what
more is there one would love to be ?
Few of all the hearts that beat so
wildly, warmly, sadly, slowly, can
recognize a true soul, amid the din and
darkness ot the world in that simple-
but " it's me. ' As it he had said :
" Now I am nothing to all the world.
For I'm all the world to thee."
A Convict Attempts to Escape
He is Fired on Several Times and
13 Seriously if not d? at ally Woun -
ded. Yesterday morning about the
hour of 10, one of tne Penitentiary con
victs at work in the Cook brickyaid.iust
the other side oi the Holleman bridge,
suddenly made a brake to make his es
cape from durance vile. Not obeying
an order to halt, three shots were sent
after him,one of which went through his
neck, laying him low. The wounded
convict is a colored man, and was sen
tenced to a term of years for man-
laughter. His name we could not
learn. We understand that the
Physician examining the: wound
pronounces it very serious but
not necessarily fatal. The shot
doing tne work was nred Dy one
of the guard named Edwards, There'is
another version of this affur reported,
which we give without vouching lor its
correctness. It is said that there was a
conspiracy among this gang of convicts
that at a given signal lrom this unfor
tunate man, a whistle, the crowd were
to rush on the few guard, overpower
them and make good their escape. The
whistle was sounded but the courage of
the others tailed them and they did not
support their leader, and he seeing the
predicament in which he was placed en
deavored to get away, which attempt
resulted as abovestated- -
Tfce wounded man was conveyed to
the Penitentiary hospital and is now
undergoing medical ireatment.
i . o. bince the above was put in
type,' we learn that the wounded con
vict's name is Alonza Peterson, from
Sampson county, who was incarce
rated for the crime of rape, acd that
Dr. W. G. Hill, the attending physician,
pronounces the wound not serious. The
report in regard to a preconcerted plan
to escape turns out not to be true.

Lime. Our middle' section needs
cheap lime to bring it into a high state
of cultivation. Grasses, clover and com
post are goud things, but without lime
they cannot be made to perfection, and
are but a temporary relief to our ex
hausted lands. Give us lime at a mod
erate cost, and no part of Pennsylvania
i will be more productive than the oak
and hickory land of M'ddle North Car
olina. In the neighborhood of Newbern
there are vast deposits of conglomera
ted shells which yield the best quality
ot lime. These beds are on navigable
streams and in the midst of forests of
timber. But two.things are needed to
develope them and deliver them to all
of our farms enterprize to quarry and
introduce them and a cheap system of
freights from Newbern on the railroads,
Who will attend to this, and while
reaping a harvest of riches, add to the
wealth of the State.
The 24th day of June next, observed

teel, be ot more than usual interest, as
it will be in connection with exercises
at the Orphan Asylum. A ganeral in
vitation haa been extended by the Ma
sons at Oxford, so we learn, to the fra
ternity in the State, to visit Oxford on
that day. Several distinguished mem
bers of the Order have been invited to
deliver addresses, some of whom have
accepted, among them Rev. Dr. Cravem
of Trinity College, and Robt. B. Vance,
Past Grand Master. Whether or not
the day will be celebrated in this city,
we have not yet been informed.
