Bill Smith, the colored man who we reported yesterday as having been caught in the barn of Mr. Scott, stealing cotton, was carried before a J, P. jin Jonea County, and owing to the illness of Mr. Scott, which prevented his attendance at Court(?) Smith was discharged. Mr. Scott learning that the thief was prowling around New bern under the name of iWm. Stewart im mediately repaired hither, had Steward ; arrested, who was - fully identified as Smith the cotton thief and ani was brought be- with a scratched and bleeding face. The enraged Steer was finally overpowered, lodged into the cattle pen and we presume ere this its carcass has been disposed of to lovers of i fresh beef. The injuries sus tained by these boys is a just punishment for their cruelty and no doubt will long be a reminder of results that may continue to occur through their inhumanity to dumb animals. ! fore Esq. Hill on Satrday night, where postive evidence was adduced showing that Stewart alias Smith was caught in the act of stealing a large amount of cotton from Mr. Scott's barn, and that he resisted ar rest so strongly as to severely . bite one of the fingers and wrist of Mr. Scott.

Steward took to his heels, and though several'pistol. shots were urged at him he succeeded m making his exjt a complete an nncondi tional success," and departed .for partsun known -i : Freaks of Steer. . "I ' ' ' T K(j little excitement was created on.ves-tei-aay in the vicinity of the. Slaughtcr- Ghogts and Ilotogoblins. "There is a man in our town" who either bibs "by note," or has had an ex perience most wonderful in its details and startlingl in the extreme. He. solemnly affirms that on one occasion, he, together with several friends, went out to ' dig money;" that after digging in total silence, the paaty reached a large chest of money: one of "them raise! his axe to break open tho box containing the1 valuable prize they felt sure it contained when another of the party, forgetting himself spoke; the box immediately vanished. The gen tleman also states tha th.e was walking up, Pollbk Street near Meadows & Co.'s drug store, a few nights since, with a friend, when two . ' departed " females ap peared before them, dressed in " light duthing. ! "I As it V yas a frequent oc currence," the gentlemen of the money '4 box. 4 was . not ..the. least alarmed, but the ' ! friend was so much so thaffie affirmed his iutentiori ;; of walking the "streets alone in future rather. than with a companion who the ghtfsts even torment. This wonderful mah's father was also 'gifted." He (the house, on Pembrook road by the freaks of ! father) once dreamed three.nights in suc a large Steer which Vas. being taken -oat i cession that money was buried under the for the purpose- of butchering by two col- j- roots of a certain tree ; arising and going to pred drovers named - re3pectiyefy Bisll said tree and digging ho found v tin box and.

One of in hand a long roie one and of Avhich "was the most remarkable yarns told - by this attached to the horns of the animaf, while j gentleman was of a haunted house, where the former carried a. lengthy ox-whip with j no bne coijld sleep "iu peace. At last a which he seemed to delight in applying to j. bold irishman volunteered to lodge there .the poor beast in order jj to excelerate its peed while enrouto to the desired destina tion. The drovers having started with their charge from a Hyde County vesscl.at tho market basin and passed through the town with that reckless and . dangerous manner so of ten displayed by their 'class, in violation of a city ordinance, reached the Pembrook road, when the animal, through brutal teatment, becoming un manageable tQok unto himself tho privil ege of having his own way for a brief time at least. His first act in the role, was . to 'about face" and chargo uion his purse cutors, the first victim, being Sutton who was lifted by the horns and thrown over'a fence and into a deep ditch, while Bissell in the endeavour to reach a place of safety byt scaling the fence, nvas' caught by the maddened beast, tossed several feet upward and in falling alighted astride the animal's neck, where by grasping its horns he man aged for several minutes to remain: in the I meantime the enraged streer sped along the road, raring and plunging with all. his might to rid himself of his frightened rider when in passing over a plank crossing in the roadrthe rope became entangled in the planking which caused the -animal to be suddenly, thrown to the earth and the ri der pitched headlong into a heap of dried cotton stalks from which he was drawn out one night, and taking , a sword along was soon comfortably seated before a large fire in the: haunted room. About midnidht, two, beautiful cats entered and playing around awhile ventured to make familiar with tlie1 Irishman, who drew his sword and cut off the paw of one cat. On picking up the paw it turned to a ladies' finger, upon which was a beautiful ring. On subsequent investigation the finger; and ring belonged to the wife of the owner of the haunted house; said wife -was - voted a witch, forthwith dragged from her bed by husband and irishman and her head chop ped off. .The gentleman solemnly affirms that -all the above.is true, and is willing to swear to it.
