A small white bov. living in the Western Ward, on yesterday morning came near being seriously injured by a vicious cow which made several at tempts to hook him. The turtle soup at Tommy Harrison's yesterday was the finest we ever ate. Those wishing some of the same sort can get it to-day at 11:30 o'clock at his saloon on Hargett street.

T. H. Selby, W. E. Anderson, A. M. McPheeters and J. H. Mills, Committee of Arrangements. An Editor A ttacked by a Sir Wil liam Joat A Drawn Battle. Our friend Harrell, of the Henderson Tri bune, though a man of spirit and in domitable courage, as well as a success ful journalist, is nevertheless a quiet, peaceful and well ordered citizen. He is at peace with all the world, has no animosities towards his fellow man, and no enemies to punish or friends to re ward. He can, therefore, retire to his couch at night with a conscience so clear that blissful repose musir necessa- rily follow But the most placid stream that ever wended its way through a mountain valley is somarirnes ruffled by aaverse wiuus, auu iiia muic -"ou Brother Harrell coulavTeasonaoiy ex pect that his life should pass off as a summer's day dream. A few nlglits ago, about the hour ot 10 o'clock. Biother Harrell, having con eluded his labors of the day, left his office in the tJown of Henderson, to seek perintendent lor North Carolina, ad that repose necessary for an overtasked cUhen9 of Camden county f mind, in the quietude of his boarding house. Ascending the stair case, ue en tered his room and, striking a light, observed in the corner, near his bed, what he might term & caprw capricomus, we would call it a Sir William Goat, but the little boys about the' house said it . . . tt tt n - j. was a Hilly uoat. xsro. naireu sujuu motionless for awhile, gazing at the interesting pbysiogromy of the mis chievous intruder. The Sir William showed no symptoms of alarm, ne el even batted his eye, but with head and taifc erect, seemed to say I am as in ucn at home as you are. Bro. li. advanced to the bed to get his stick, preparatory to an attack, but the Sir William ac cepting the first offer, made tor the edi tor, wbo retreated to the door,, At this point the battle commenced in earnest. The editor being a Good Templar, the goat had the advantage of two horns, which, with the editor's weight, made the chances about even. A lively scuffle ensued for a few moments, when it come to a 44 roll and tumble" fight. Both came down the sttp3 together, lauding about ten feet from the door in the yard. The tumble down the steps aroused tbe bouse and all the neighbors around, who came ! out to see ."what was to pay." After much effort, the combatants were separated and the battle declared to be 44a drawn one." M. V'B. Gilbert,Esq., arrived yesterday afternoon from Montreal, Canada, lie is looking well and gives a good account OI' I no lewwuw" w. of the reception or oeiegaiei oy, uivir - .V . ... i A Little Boy's Epistle to his Father. The following letter was re ceived by a gentleman visiting this city from his little boy in Baltimore, which is so characteristic of little boys that we publish it exactly as it was written : "Papa, come - home. Ime got a base ball bat and a ball too. Mama gave me two ten cents one one day and one the next. One boy has got a ball and one has got a bat but Ime got both. I promise Mama to be good for twenty five weeks and would you believe it I got a little bit bad that same night but Mrna was going to take the bat away and I got good agen. Papa, we've got a pussy cat too, and Nellie takes it up by the neck. I take it up right cept sometimes by' the tail. Please come home soon to your Little Boy." An Important Decision. An . im portant decision to our planting commu nity was rendered in the Federal Court Wednesday evening. We refer to the Guano case, in which a firm known as Mernmon & Co., sold to W. C. Stronach, of this city, 17 tons of a guano, manu factured by them, Stronach in turn sell ing to one of our prominent farmers. This planter, above spoken of, refused payment on the ground that the gUano was entirely worthless. He also had the guano subjected to test to prove its val ue. Both, Prof. Liebig, of Baltimore, and Prof. Kerr, of this city, decided it to be worthless a3 a manure, Prof. Kerr finding 68 per cent, of sand in the ar ticle. The manufacturers, in the state ment of formula used by them, acknowl edge to 950 pounds of street dirt, and yet in the face of all this, Mr. Stronach is obliged to pay the claim with interest. We should think thia would be suffic ient to open the eyes of all,to the impor tance of subscribing at once to the Guano Company to be located in this city, and thus put an end to these swin dles practiced on our people. Bible Meeting in Currituck County. A meeting in the interest of the Bible cause was held in Providence Baptist Church, on Indian Ridge, Cur rituck county, on Sunday, Juae 8th, at 11 A. M.
