Chtbch Officers. At the - annual

The foundry furnace of W. F. Kor
negay & Co., at Goldsboro, exploded
last Thursday killing the foreman, Mr.
J. B. Timberlake, and slightly wound
ing M'cssrs. Chas. Dewey, A. Kerb and
W. J. Hollingsworth. The explosion
i
was caused by dropping 300 pounds of
iron into a pool of water collected un
der the furnace which generated suffi
cient steam to cause, the sad catas
trophe. The damage to the property
will not be more than $500.
Last Saturday night the prisoners
(raven in number) attemp.ed to break
jail. They put their united strength
into-pulling the grated door, bending
it considerably, and would soon have
broken it down if they had not been de
tected. Sheriff Davis promptly hand
cuffed and placed them in different
cells.. They seemed perfectly indiffer
ent when caught, the law not seeming
to have any terror for" them. Nothing
but the whipping post will do for such
chaps.
Wiley Lowery, our county jailor, re
quests us to correct a statement np
pearing in the Messenger last week
from its Kinstou correspondent, where
in it stated ; that no medical asistance
was rendered to the prisoner arrested
for the assault with intent to commit
rape, and was wounded in his arrest.
On the contrary he says Dr. J. A. Pol
lock has visited him several times ren
dering ull necessary medical aid.
A little delay was caused in calling in
a physician, from the fact that the Sher
iff, under whose charge all the prison
ers are placed, was at New Berne and
the jailor was at a loss about calling in
a physician, but after a while conclud
i
ed to take the responsibility and called
in Dr. Pollock as above stated.
We reproduce, from CoL Polks Hand
Book, extracts concerning the produc
tions of some of our Eastern counties.
JJL we didn't live so close to some of the
parties who reported such big returns,
wed say they were "stretching their
blankets" a little. We believe in stand
ing up for our State and section but
see no nse in takincr an exceptionally
good crop and j representing that as a
sample of our farming. The idea of
representing the average yield of ; corn
in Onslow count? at 25 bushels per
acre, or that an acre of poor land in
Jonea county ! would vroduee 1.125
pounds of lint cotton! '"-
We doubt if there is a county in
the State except Hyde and perhaps
Pamlico that would do as well. The
average yield of Jones and Lenoir would
not go beyond 12 bushels to the acre
and we hardly think Onslow would do
aty better, and we have never yet seen
the acre of rich land that produced
1,125 pounds of lint cotton.

A meeting of the County . Commis
sioners and J ustices of the Peace for
the County was held in the court room
on Tuesday the 15th, during tho ad
journmeut of the Inferior Court. On
motion of Jno. C. Wooteu, chairman of
the County Commissioners, it was de-
creed that the same tax be levied for
county purposes for 1879 aa is ' laid by
the General Assembly for State tax un

J On motion of J. C. Kennedy it was
Resolved, that the County Commis
sioners be requested to offer a reward
of 81000 for the discovery and couvic
Ition of the incendiary who burned the
Lenoir County ! Court House last Fall.
Col. N. ,B. Whitfield, the Presiding
Justice of the Inferior Court directed
the attention of tho Justices to the
consideration of the question of thu
abolition of two terms or the whole of
the Inferior Court.' The Justices, with
only one exception, considered it best
to continue the! Court as it now stands
until some necessity should arise for
its abolition. ;
Wm. B. 5unn reports that Abram

When we consider that 200 bushels

done by the old gentleman. If they
had him down in Jones county they
might dispense with their "wet" marl
diggings.

two steam derricks, one on each side
commenced pulling on the chain, and
soon the heavy steamer was drawn up

went down and patched up the hole.

On last Monday General Ransom
gave a pleasant excursion on the
steamer Undine to a few invited guests
from our village and from New Berne
and Goldsboro. Governor Jarvis was
expected to accompany the excursion
which went up tho Neuse about six
miles to where the river improvement
is going on, but from some caase failed
to come down. ,
We noticed Messrs. Carpenter of the
Xewberrtian; Latham, late of the iVorrA
State Press; and Johnson, representing
the Messenger, all. on board enjoying
the trip.
It is a little singular that while news
paper men were invited so freely from
afar, that the Kinston Joubxax should
have been overlooked. It could hardly
be because both of its proprietors serv

captains and are supposed to be thor
