Bead the ad vertisement. Dr. Ben. William, formerly a repre sentative iu the General Assembly from Harnett county, died in Philadelphia on the 2otli ult, trom the effects of a pain ful operation which had been performed for gravel. His remains passed through this city a k-w dys ago, en route to his late residence, ior interment. Col. W. A. Allen, of Kenansville, Du plin county, who is in our city attend ing the Supreme Court, says that the storm which passed ' over that county l.i:-t Thursday was very severe. The heavy rain did immense damage to the landa, washing away the soil. Two city officials d;cssed in stylish an 1 bran new suits and driving in an el egant turnout yesterday had. the mis fortune to be mistaken for Messrs. M. L. Litthfield and D. J. Pruyn. The re port of the presence iu the city of these two celebrities spread like wiid-fire and the excitement leached almost fever heat before the rumor was exploded. These officials have cur profound sym pathy. ' ' Theie is but a step from the sublime to the- ridieulous, and, we are pretty certain that the groggy gentleman who was making a political harangue in front of Mr. Alcott's store yesterday momiDg, ihoii'Mit that step a short one ; for, olfe cer King, w ho came along about the ttaie be was in the midst of hi3 elo quence, hunied him off to the lock up, where he dubtlesf reflected profitably upon the mutability of all things ter lestrial. The Buildimr Committee "of the N. C, Agricultural Society held a meeting last evening at the rooms ot the Society. A report irom the Superintendent was received, which was in every way satis factory. Several contracts for -lumber have been made. The work is progress ing rapidly and, satisfactorily: A meet ing oi the Executive Committee of the .Society is called for this evening. Reminescences of Raleigh. Thir ty years ago, to-day, W. W. Holden commenced 'the publication of the Standard, iriChe house on Fajetteville street opposite the Post Office, now oc cupied by S. D. Harrison. The Stan dard then had 800 subscribers, weekly, and two columns of adyertisements. The Raleigh Register, by Weston R. Gales, Esq., was at that time the Whig organ. The Register was founded by Joseph Gales, Sr., the founder also of the National Intelligencer. Raleigh contained at that time a pop ulation of about 2,000. There were but few printers in the city not more than six or seven' journeymen. Since that time both the Register and Standard have ceased to exist, and. the Intelligen cer has also gone out of existence, and given placet papers in Washington interior to it. John M. Morehead, of Guilford, was Governor in 1S43. Capitol Square had not been enclosed. The Legislature was so tardy about it, and so stingy of the " people's money" a phrase that had a peculiar charm in those days that the Standard proposed a .ten-rail fence, staked and ridered. Every public man who had made his mark, as Governor Morehead certainly made his, had his " pet name" by which his friends liked to call him. Governor M. was catted "Eminent Practical Vigor." It was pro posed that a slip-gap be made in the aforesaid fence to accommodate our then venerable Secretary of State, Wil liam Hill, but that the Governor be re quired to climb or jump the fence. At length, at the session ot 184G, an appro priation of $1 2,000 to enclose the Square "passed the Commons by a majority of one, a Democratic mem Der from Wake having voted for a small appropriation for the Buncombe Turnpike to induce John A. Fagg, of Buucombe, and Sam uel Flemming, of Yancey, to vote for the Capitol Square appropriation. . Luck ily, the Democratic member referred to, was not "read out of the party" for thus doing violence to the Democratic platform, but he ran a narrow risk. The Square was enclosed during the admin istration of Governor Graham. The iron railing was cast and put up by Si las Burns, Esq , now of Chatham. Gen. Romulus M. Saunders, who sat first in the Legislature in 1816, from the. county of Caswell, and who had the hon. or alterwards to represent two different districts in Congress, removed to Ral eigh about 1831, and on the 22d ol Feb- 1832, he pronounced an oration in favor the day in the Presbyterian Church. ;aunder9 and Morehead were opposing candidates tor Governor in 18-10. But though differing in politics, they united iu Ibis in urging internal improve ments. They loved the good old State better than party,and it was very large ly owing to their efforts in 1848, 1849, and 1850, that the Ralegh & Gaston Railroad was rivived and placed on a pefmauent basis, and the Central Rail road was built. The memories of these great men should . be cherished by all our people. Their lives afford excellent examples for imitation to our young men. -. But the Central Railroad bill would not have become a law at the session of 1848, but for the casting vote of Calvin Graves, -Esq., of Caswell then Speaker of the Senate. Mr. Graves still survives, "full of years and honors." That act, the giving of the casting vote under the circumstances, was the noblest exercise of moral courage ever exhibited in the history, of the State. A monument of native granite, suitably inscribed, ought to be erected at Company Shops to Calvin Graves. We may give,in some future number, the scenes and incidents that marked the passage of the Central Railroad bill in 1848. The Weldon Feast and Charades The Ladies' "Feast and Charcdes" at Weldon on Tuesday and Tuesday night proved a grand and worthy success, The desired object was to increase the fund lor the building of the Episcopal church in that place. Nearly 300 was realized by the entertainment, which was really more than was anticipated by he ladies who had the matter in charge We were present and participated in the exercises, and we can truly say that we never spent a more agreeable and pleasant time. Quite a large number of persons from the surrounding country, especially the old town of Halifax, always noted for her liberality in the aid of charitable institutions, were present. Garysburg, Eiifield, Gaston and Scotland Neck were also largely represented, with many others from the various towns on the line of the railroads that centre iu the town. After the charades the large ball room of the Emry House was thrown open Slaughter's cotillion band, of Peters burg, brought into requisition, ana a mnrp httrnprivft nsspmi) acre oi vouns- . . II A people that thronged therein we never met. Terpsichorean exercises were con tinued through the nighr, and hot until the dawn ot day were the pleasant ex ercises concluded. Thomas L. Emry, Lsq , the proprie tor" ot the excellent Lmry House, was the floor manager and general director ot the ball, and to his splendid ability and executive capacity were all indebted for the general good order tnat was maintained in the ball room, and the pleasant time experienced by both old and young. . y ' ! An Ekcountek. Between the Giieat Moral Combination Phreno logical Judge and one Dred War ren. A Judge while holding Court recently in one of our Eastern counties, one afternoon, after the adjournment oi Court for the day, seeing Dred Warren pass (pretty drunk by the way) called him up to examine his head. "You have the bump ot combativeness. strongly dveloped, (Dred has figured on the State Docket more than once for fight ing,) will very lully developed and the animal enters largely" into your composi tion, etc. etc." After the learned Judge had finished, Dred begged the favor ot examining the Judge's headV "Well. Judge," saidrile, "your head dont ex press much except a very full develop ment of the hog." Dreg, walked off amid the laughter of the crowd. Supreme Court. The Court met yesterday at 9 A.. M.

Our Oxford corres- respondent, under date of yesterday says : . The Goodwyn Agricultural Club met at the residence of Col. Isaac II. Davis last Saturday. The time was instruc tively and pleasantly spent. i lelding Knott, an enterprising farmer, sold thirteen barns of coal-cured tobacco in Henderson a few days ago for $27.50 "round." The Cantata given at the close of Miss Mitchell's school was a brilliant af fair. . A few nights ago the smoke house of our townsman, R. L. Hunt, Esq., was, broken open and twenty-two pieces of bacon stolen. The services of the ever- vigilant Capt. Spencer, were engaged, who soon detected the thief and re covered the meat. The meat was foaud iu the house of John Taylor, colored. John's character is notlike Caesar's wife. He at first refused to have his house searched. He was knocked down and became very submissive, and told where all the meat was concealed said he bought it ol Sam Allen and Henry Ellis, both colored. John was anxious to turn "State s evidence," but Justice Smith could not see it. They all have been assigned quarters in the "hotel de Moore." The incorporators of the Granville County Road Company met here to day. R. O. Gregory was appointed commissioner of the countv, with a corps of active assistants, to solicit aid, in addition to the hundred thousand dollars appropriated by the County Commissioners. The people are alive to the importance of this road, and will aid liberally by private subscription for its successful completion. ; Let Everybody Remember, that Mr. W. II. Barnes, the celebrated Odd Fel low who lectured in our city a few weeks ago in behalf of the "Widows and Orphans," will lecture again at Tucker Hall, this evening, in the interest of the Temperance cause. Let all go and hear him. We need not advise those who w?ere so fortunate as to hear him in his former lecture, for we feel certain they will go : but, we do advise all those who have not heard Mr. Barnes Jo go to Tucker Hall this evening. Mr. Barnes does not aitempt a dry, philosophical, abstruse disquisition upon any one of the various "ologies" which other speakers are wont to dis cuss, but lie does make an elegant ana eloquent address, which is largely inter spersed with anecdote and genuine hu mor. Occasionally he sings a song, dis playing one of the finest voicesto whish we ever listened. But his chief fort lies in his powers of mimicry, in which he is unsurpassed. Those who go to hear him will enjoy a laugh worth, in : these dull times, at least five dollars, whereas the price of admission is only 50 cents. Tickets may be had at Branson's Book Store, No additional cost for reserved seats. Kittrell's Springs. Maj. Blacknall has added to this already popular watering place a new and very attractive feature. He has employed Mrs. Slater, the well and favorably known dancing mistress, who takes charge, as Matron, ot all the little children, and gives them dancing lessons free of charge. This information to mothers will be very ac ceptable, as no one is more competent to fill the place than Mrs. Slater. Her proficiency in dancing and lady-like deportment has won her many friends in the State, and will no'doubt cause many to visit Kittrells who had not already made up their minds to do so. Licensed to Practice. Yesterday the following gentlemen passed a suc cessful examination before the Supreme Court and received license to practice in the several Courts of the State : Jas. W. Reid, of Rockingmam county. John D. Kerr, of Sampson " Peter M. Wilson, ot Warren " Martin F. Ansel, of Macon " William Horsfall, of Granville " Jas. E. O'Hara, col. of Halifax " Jos Bradfield, of Rockingham " Phrenological Judge. A certain Judge has introduced a new manner of euaging the proper punishment to award criminals. He' is said to call up the defendant, examine his head, and as the bumps in his judgment, indicate so is the measure, of punishment. Thi3 is either a great success, or a very la mentable degradation of the ermine. In a repotorial point of view the May or'iJ Court yesterday was barren. United States Circuit Court. Court convened yesterday at 10 a. m., Judge Brooks presiding. Quite a large number of judgments nisi were taken and numerous contin uances ordered. The only matter of general public interest was a motion by Hon. T. C. Fuller in behalf of numerous defen dants in that class of cases known as " Ku Klux." Mr. Fuller stated by rea son of certain proceedings in the recent ly established Western .District of North Carolina and of numerous newspaper reports, a large number of the defendants in the class of cases aforesaid, made no preparation for trial at tbi3 term of the Court. He therefore asked the continuance of all such cases In which he represented the defendants. The District Attorney objected, and insisted that each defendant who asked a continuance be required to make affi davit of all facts that constituted his ground of continuance. The Court decided that during the term it would apply the rule asked for by the District Attorney. At 12 in. the Court took a recess un til 3 p. m. afternoox session. At 3 p. m. the Court convened. Du ring the afternoon session only one case of any interest came up. It was that of the United States vs. J.J. Minetree, in dictment for not keeping books of pur chases and sales of leaf tobacco. Dis trict Attorney Badger prosecuted and R. II. Battle, Esq., appeared Tor the de fendant. Quite a number of witnesses were examined, and after argument by counsel the case was gven to the jury, who soon returned a verdict of "not guilty." . Court adjourned to meet again this morning at 10 o'clock. Mistook His Calling. There" is a saying that a jack-at-all-trades is good at none. There is a notable exception to this adage in our city, and Phil. Thiem, Esq., the genial, whole-souled I proprietor of Thiem's Family Grocery, is hat exception, for he seems to be proficient in everything he undertakes. But, to be more specific. We unders take to say that Mr. Thiem has mistaken his calling," and We think our citizens who may see the specimens of his draw ings on the bulletin boaids, representing, frogs, chickens, a drunken rowdy, &c, &c, will concur with us in the opinion. These pictures are intended as illus trations of Mr. BarnesMecture to-night. Go and. hear it. STRICKENHyiTH PARALYSIS. We sjn- cerely regret toxlearu that Mr. James Pirsson, yesterday morning, while in the act of dressing, was suddenly stricken with apoplexy and has been unconscioiu ever since. Dr. Royster Was summoned, who at once applied the proper reme dies. From the latest accounts we learn that reaction has taken place, and it is expected that the action of the brain will be revived in a short time. A tele graphic dispatch has bet-n sent to one of his sons in New York, who is ex pected to arrive here to-morrow. if. b. bince tne above was put in type, we learn that no change lor the better has occurred in -.Mr. Pirsson's condition. At the hour at which this is written (11 p. m.") it wa3 thought he could not survive until daybreak. T. II. Hill. Esq. This gentleman succeeds John Spelman, Esq., as Local Editor of the Daily Sentinel of this city. Mr. Hill is a graceful writer ana a pleasant gentleman, and we heartily welcome him into the ranks of the fraternity. Mr. Spelman has,as we have before announced, accepted a position upon the editorial staff of the North Carolina State Agricultural Journal, Mr. Spelman has a large and long ex perience in iournalism. and is a forceful and agreeable writerX We congratula the Journal upon obtaining such a valuable acquisition to its editorial corps. -. . : - ' - The Body of Ret.

United action will accomplish much, and should be undertaken at once. : Woodson, the paper, who has local editor of this been "toodling" in Weldon, returned to his post yesterday afternoon. Considering all circum stances he looked but little iaded. He complained of a nervous headache and said something about Weldon climate not agreeing with him. Ben Jones, col,, who wa3 committed to the jail of this county some time ago for larceny and who broke out, was handed over yesterday by the Sherifl of New Hanover county, to the custody ot Sheriff Lte. who inducted him into his old quarters. Just as we go 'to press we learn that the Board of Directors of the Peniten tiary have re-elected Dr. W. G. Hill, of this city, as the phy3ician of the insti tution. The B oard of Directors of the Peni tentiary met yesterday. We are not informed as to the proceedings. Judge Hugh L. Bond of the Circuit n . 11 !i Jl uourt is expected in iuis cuy mis evening. TELEGRAPHIC JtTEirS. NOON DISPATCHES. More of the Walworth Parricide. New York, June 4. A resident of Saratoga says that Mrs. Walworth, wife of the man killed yesterday by his son, was a Miss Nelly Hardin, daughter ol Col. HardiD, of Kentucky, who was killed 'at the battle of Buena Vista. After the? death of the Colonel, his wife went to Chancellor Walworth, lather of the murdered man, to settle some con test about the estate of the late Colonel. It ended by the Chancellor marrying the widow. This naturally brought the daughter Nelly and Mansfield Tracy Walworth constantly together, and the result was, thait they were mar ried. In the course of years, Wal worth began indulging in habitual intoxication and became brutal in his treatment of his wife, and on some oc casions struck her.. This treatment con tinued until the outbreak of the late war, when Walworth, through his father, obtained a position in the State Department at Washington, and his ways were improved. It was soon dis covered that Walworth was j using the means his position furnished him with to give secret information to the Con federate authoiities of what was trans piring in the North. He was arrested and sent to the old Capitol prison, but was released through the influence of his father, and allowed to go to Sarato ga, where he reported to the authorities every day till the close of the war. In the meantime the father died, leaving nothing to son or daughter-in-law, and the former resumed his old habits. His Gonduct at length became unbearable and Mrs. Walworth left him and short ly procured a divorce. She obtained a position as Clerk in the Treasury Department, at Washington where she remained tor two years, and then went to Saratoga and opened a young ladies, Seminary. It was while she was there that she began to receive letters from Walworth, threatening and insulting her, and making outrageous charges against her. It was those letters which ' caused the son to leave home and commit the horrible act. One of the doctors who attended on the murdered man, said that when he went up stairs to the room he found Mr. Walworth was not yet dead. He was lying on the floor with his head on the carpet and gaping. His pulse gave one or two pulsations when the Doctor took his arm in his hand, and then stopped completely. The blood was gushing trom the wound in his left breast and from his arm. He died in about a quarter of a minute after the Doctor went into the room. He was shortly after placed upon the bed, ana tne uoctor says tnat young. Walworth, when he was brought into the room, reported the conversation be tweenhimself and his father as follows: Walworth, the son, standing before his father "You have again written letters to my mother, threatening both her life and my own : will you solemnly romise never to make such threats again Walworth, the father "I do make that promise " Walworth, the son "iou have also repeated the insult made to mv mother; do you promise never" to use insulting language to my mother again ?" Walworth, the father "I do make such a promise." i Walworth, the son, drawing the re volver and pointing it at his father, said : "You have made that promise before, and I do, not believe you ; you shall never have the opportunity of do ing so again," and then the firing took place without a moment's interval of hesitation.

For the past ten days a disease has prevailed here which at first the physicians pronounced chol era morbus or malarial fever, but no alarm was felt until yesterday, when the physicians generally agreed that it was; cholera, some classing it as " sporadic " and others as "Asiatic." Its ravages have been confined chiefly to negroes and the laboring classes, and in the ab sence of an organized Board of Health it is difficult to estimate the fatal cases. Doctors say the disease, if promptly at tended, yields readily to treatment. - Among the latest victims was George Monroe, of the Memphis and Louisville Transfer Company, who died last night. Reports trom the towns below here on the river, says that the disease pre vails there also. Jack Radley, an engineer on the Mis sissippi and Tennessee road, was mur dered at Hernando, Miss., bv JVC.

Haycroft's suit was brought July 30th, 1872, for proceeds of certain potton seized and by agents or tne United States government. The captured and abandoned property act limited the time within which suit should be brought for proceeds 01 such seizures two years from the date of the termina tionofthe rebellion or fixed by the Presidential proclamation ol August 20th, 1866. : - The Supreme Court decides that the amnesty proclamation of December 25tb, 1868, relieved all persons in the Southarn States from ooligation to prove their loyalty in the Court of Claims, and Haycroft in filing his claim in 1872 contended that in consequence of the said amnesty proclamation and decision of the Supreme Court dis'oyal cotton claimants like himself had a right to commence their, suits at any time within six years after the date, of the proclamation, of December 25th, 1868, under the general limitations applicable to suits brought in this court, for the reason that he had no standing in the court prior to the issuance of said amnesty proclamation, and that his cause of action accrued at that date, although his property was taken in .1863. The Attorney General filed a plea to the jurisdiction, on the ground that all suits lor cotton were required to be brought within the two years limitation ot the Captured and Abandoned Property act. Bartly and Casey, counsel for claimant, demur red, and the court to-day overruled the demurrer, and sustained the plea to the jurisdiction. The counsel for claimant then appealed to the Supreme Court This decision, if sustained by the Supreme Court, will bar and exclude claims for proceeds of cotton to the amount of about fifteen million of dol lars. In the case of Ch as. Hill, an alien subject of Great Britain, claiming pro ceeds of certain cotton captured from his factors by the United States military forces, Hill having resided in England during the entire period of the rebel lion,the courtdecided that the, presump tion in favor ot his having preserved his neutrality is not overthrown by the proof of the mere act that he was in terested in and subscribed money to certain adventures for running the block ade. These adventures, the court say, may never have been put afloat, or if they were, may never have reached the seat ot the blockade. It is therefore held to be necessary to show, not only the purpose to give aid and comforfcjto the rebels, but the fact that the aid and comfort was given. This fact not being proved, judgment is given for the claim ant.. - ' "-' -' In the case of Warren R. Dent, the court decided that a proportion ot the proceeds of captured cotton,' paid by the Government to an informer, could not now be recovered from the United States. ThfS decision being based upon the general principle of the statute that claimants can recover no more that the net proceeds paid into the U. S. Treasury.;- ' -; - An important decision was also ren dered iu t Decease ot Walter D; Spratt, of Mississippi; to the effect that the claimants who purchased cotton from agents of the Confederate Government, knowing at the time that the proceeds were to be used in the prosecution of the war against the federal . government, acquired no title to their purchases and therefore have no right of action against the United States for subsequent capture and sale of such cotton,, This decision governs and excludes claims to the amount ot about three millions of dollars. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. The Court ot Claims made an order referring to what are known as the Vicksburg cotw ton cases,involving the proceeds of some 900 bales, to Eben Evelith, of Washing ton Citv. a3 special commissioner. to disentangle the complicated questions' of ownership, &c, and report at the next term, and then adjourned until me third Monday of next October.
