The Roanoke and Tar River Fair, which opens at Weldon on the 2Sth in-st.. bids well to be one ofthemot interesting of its char acter in the State. Ample prepara tions have been made for the exhi bit ion. We are indebted to Jordan Stone, Esq., Secretary, for the courtesy of a press ticket. It is to be hoped that a large crowd will be in at tendance on the occasion. Wake Superior Court. The Superior Court for this county com meneed its session on Monday last, Judge Watts presiding. We under stand that the civil docket will not be tried during the present term. Judge WatU is one of our most popular officers, and in private life is a social companion. All classes feel at home in his company. Should his future course be in keep ing with the past, we doubt not but that further honors await him. OiEX Your Doors.

We want the people to go away with a good im pression of our city and to feel that they have boen properly treated by our citizens. Let none be turned off if o?sible to avoid it. The Great Eastern Circus. The Great Eastern has come and gone. We have seen it and con fess that it surpassed our expecta tions. It is a good circus, above the average in every respect. The riding equalled any that we have seen for years. If we had witnessed nothing else, the feats of daring per formed by little Dolly Varden Car roll well paid us for the visit. He is a remarkable child, and his little sister bids fair to equal the best ac tresses of the times. The clown is a good one, and his sayings are origi nal. We have never seen a larger crowd under a canvas than the one I lit on Friday nignt last, ivu classes were present. With the generosity that hs characterized this com pany during its entire tour the managers invited the State officers, members of the press and some others to occupy reserved seats du ring the performance and such an other crowd of dignitaries has not been seen together for a long time. We commend this company to the public wherever it may go. It is well worth seeing. fier young horse to the Rail Road station between Joyners and Ma sons for the purpose ol accustoming the horse to the sight of the En gine. The horse took fright and suddenly turned, dismounting the rider whose foot hung in one of the tirrups. In this condition he was dragged nearly a mile, and when some persons attempted to head the horse and stop him, he rushed be tween two carts, dashing the young man's brains out against ono of the wheels. - Diabolical Attempt at Wholesale Murder. On the tir-t inst.,the down passenger train on the W. i W. Railroad, ran into a cross tie on the track near Whita kers depot. The train going north into another, the No. 4 iassenger train South into another, and the freight train north still another. Making four attempts the same day to throw the trains from the track at neariy the same place. The curve at this locality is such that nothing can be seen much distance ahead, and the Engineers as usual had taken the precaution to slacken speed, thus avoiding wholesale de struction of life. Rev ex uk Service. We had the pleasure of meeting in the city last week, Capt. W. A. Gavet, J. C. Wheeler, A. M. Crane and T. D. McAlpln, Esqrs. These gentlemen are all cdnnected with the Internal Revenue Service of this District. They are polite and gentlemanly In all their business and social in tercourse. If men will act properly and deal fairly with the govern ment there is no difficulty in get ting along with these gentlemen, but If people think they can violate the law with Impunity, they are mistaken. The above named officers are ex perienced in the service, and what is better they are honest. They are Just such men as the interests of tho country require in office. North Carolixa R. R. At a meeting of the directors of the North Carolina R. R., held at Com pany Shops, on Thursday, the 2nd inst,, Hon. Win. A. Smith was elected President of the road ia place of T. M. flolt, Esq., resigned. Smith need not tbink that because he is going to take his seat next De cember with those "back pay" and "credit mobilier" fellows, that he can dodge out of railroad business, lie can't do it. He is just as much an institution of the N. C. Railroad as the rolling stock, and, as an old Republican friend of ours in Raleigh would say, "as long as he behaves himself nobody is gwine agin him." We understand the directors of the road meet again in Raleigh on Friday of Fair week. Lkxt's CiRtus axdMexagerie. This mammoth establishment will visit Raleigh on Friday next, the 10th inst. This is the best ex hibition on the continent and no niUtake. The Press in all parts of the country speak of it in the highest terms. The menagerie is not only the largest but the best ar ranged of any that has ever visited Raleigh. The animals are well trained and kept in good order. We are told by those who have witnessed the equestrian rform ances that they excel those of any similar exhibition now before the public W'a CAPHOt but think that from the flattering notices that come to us In oar exchanges, this must be the most complete show of the period. We notice that the members of the circus company are spoken of every where as being men of Intelligence and gentlemauly manners, and that Mr. Lent pays particular attention to having good order "during his performances. Such an entertainment deserves success and will certainly receive it at the hinds of our people. Male Schools. In our article on "schools" in our last issue, we inadvertently omitted the male academy of S. R. Trawick, on Eden ton street next to the Methodist Church. We learn that Mr. Tra wick has a flourishing school. He is a gentleman every way qualified to impart instruction and we trust he may meet with the suc cess he so well merits. We also failed to notice Mr. J. M. White In conjunction with Mr. Lovejoy In conduct of Burke Square Academy. It is gratifying also to annouce tnat tnese genuemen are liberally patronized. We only wish that there were a thousand male children at school in this city, instead of the present limited num ber. Our teachers are accomplished gentlemen, worthy of the most ex tensive patronage. The Street Parade of The G reat New York Circus. While the New York Circus exhibitions vie with any ever given under can vass in their extensiveness and genuine merit, the procession on the morning of each day, is a fea ture that calls for special mention. t is headed by a chariot that is not complimented by the posters. It far surpasses In beauty, any now on the road. To Jt Is harnessed a team of twele horsrsj, ceH niomber which is worth as much as an ordi nary racer. The band that occupies this chariot is of very superior mer it and its leader, Mr. Henry S. Page, is one of the finest cornet play ers in the world. Following tho chariot come long lines of cages containing wild beasts, birds and reptiles and in this branch of the turnout Zanga the Snake Enchant er may be seen wrapped in the folds of the large pythons that keep him company. Herr Leo is also exhibited in the open den of ferocious tigers a blood curdling sight. Then comes Lent's legion of helmeted warriors, clad in coats of mail and mounted on horses of the finest breed and most splen did action. Teems of Shetland po nies, and camels, buffaloes, elks and elephants, afoot, are also displayed in the pageant ; and the four clowns, clad in grotesque attire and mount ed on donkeys, serve to keep the juveniles awake to the enjoyment of the hour. This street parade alone should draw the population of our surrounding country for miles back. , Meteoric A brilliant meteor was noticed in this city last night, about 8 o'clock. It started just north and west of the zenith and took a southerly direction leaving a fiery trail behind it, which was visible for nearly a minute after the meteor had disappeared. Wil mington Star. Cottox Factory Our town is at last waking up to the importance of building a first-class cotton fac tory. A meeting was held last Thursday night and after various addresses, a committee was ap pointed to gather facts and report that night week. Southern Home. Bladen' Couxty. At Bladen Court last week Judge Russell pre sided. The grand jury brought in thirty-five new bills and twenty seven presentments. On the crimi nal docket there were ninety odd cases in which there proved fifty eight convictions. Twenty-five cases were dropped. Fay. States man. Ax old wound. G. W. Joyner of Nash County had halfofamin nie ball cut from the palm of his hand, last Tuesday, which was lodged there at the battle of Chan cellorsville. He says it gave no pain or inconvenience until this summer, wnen one oi nis nngers drew up and troubled him. Jtocky Mount Mail. Peanuts continue very dull in the New York market. Prime Wil mington are quoted at $2.2j per bushel. When it is thoroughly un derstood that the Tennessee crop is very short, almost a total failure, in fact, and that the crop in this State will fall short one-third, the price will be sure to advance.- Wilmington Journal. ' Brighter Skies. The financial and commercial feeling both seem ed to have improved very much in wis city yesterday. Money was convalescent and a little of it was seen on the streets, a little at a time, while the feeling in the produce market shows a marked improve ment. This is fully evidenced by iat uutb ovinia turpentine ad-vaiMMKl-Seen taper gallon during; the day, rosin 10 cents per barrel, and crude turpentine and tar 40 cents Eer barrel, while the cotton mar et ruled steady. Wilmincton Post. . V . ; The Executive Committee, at a meeting held on Saturday, decided to have the first Fair of the Albe marle ' Agricultural Society on Thursday and Friday, the 6th and 7th days of November. They have decided to offer a liberal premium list which will be published in our next issue. The Committee will spare no effort to make the exhi bition a success, and they earnestly hope to have the co-operation of all the people.

That the Republican party of Virginia, through its rep- I resentatives in the state and nation al government, recommend the to tal abolition of the tax on tobacco as soon as it can be done without detriment to the national finances. lQd.

We regret to learn that our townsman, Phil. Theim, Esq., met with quite a seri ous accident on Monday night last. Mr. Theim was going home in his buggy accompanied by a colored boy as driver. A short distance from his house the driver ran into a wagon causing the buggy to upset and Mr. Theim was thrown out breaking his shoulder blade in the fall. The night was very dark and cloudy. If the gas lamps had been lighted, as they should have long since been, this accident to one of our moetenterpri8ingcitizens,might have been avoided. We trust Mr. Thiem may soon be out again. ' !

There will be no lack of amusements in Raleigh du ring the fall and winter. We al ready hear of Mrs. Oats, Rose and Harry Watkins, the Davenport Brothers, and others, who are com ing this way. These show people all know that the citizens of Ral eigh are fond of sights. It used to be remembered that old John Rob erson said that when he found out he was losing money he immediate ly made tracks for Raleigh, and he was sure of catching up the dimes. Our folks will go for a tent and no mistake. Needs Repairing. The bridge over the railroad on Hillsborough street needs attention. ' Hillsboro' street is the main outlet from the city to the fair grounds, and' large crowds of persons will cross the bridge during fair week. The foot walks on each side of the main bridge are dangerous. In many places there are holes large enough ti hitch a boot in. We believe it is the duty of the Raleigh & Gaston 11. R. Company to keep up the re pairs. The Atlantic io.id now runs three frieght trains per week. This time List year all our cotton gins were in full blast. The cold wet weather has made a delay of at least two weeks. -A.'. C Carolinian. Fine Cotton.

One night, some time since, a burglar invaded the bed-room of the editor of the Fayetteville Ga zette, but was frightened off by the cries of a child. That burglar must have been crazy. What in the world did he expect to find there worth taking? So says an exchange. The Carolina Central. The track on the Carolina Central Rail way has been completed as far as the Wadesboro depot, and the train should have been able to run that point yesterday. The telegraph office is still at Stanbacks, two miles this side of Wadesboro, but will soon be carried to the depot above. Wil. Star. Exploring the Nile. We learn that Gen. R. E. Colston, late principal of the Cape Fear Military Academy, in this city, and now in the service of the Khedive of Egypt, is one of the American officers in charge of the expediton about to start from Cairo, Egypt, to explore the upper region of the Nile. Wil. Star. A Relic of the Olden Time. We learn that a party of men, while engaged in digging a well at Dol lerson plantation, in Brunswick county, a few days since, came upon the bow of a yawl boat about twenty feet beneath the surface of the ground. From appearances it would seem to have been of what is known as the clinker build. Wil. Star. Good Farming. Wm. Rhyne, colored, made last year over 4 bales of cotton, 600 bushels of corn; wheat, oats, peas, potatoes, c enough to dp him. He had no other help than that given by his own family, his oldest child being but twelve. This was in the model county of Gaston, near Brevard Station. It gives us sincere pleasure to record the well-doing of any of the colored race. Southern Home. Caswell Court was opened Tues day by Judge " Tourgee, whose charge to the Grand Jury left no stone unturned it was remarkable for its perspicuity and ability, and was the subject of much talk and admiration on the court-green. There is but little business dock ednot more than a dozen "cases" to come up, and most of them unim portant. The lawyers looked 44 blue" even tho State's Attorney wore a frown on his brow. Milton Chronicle. To show to what extent 'moving Is being enacted in this city, a friend informs us that in his imme diate neighborhood, on yesterday, out of eight residences within one block, and situated on opposite sides ot the street,, there were no less than six of the occupants moved, ;while hew. tenants imme diately took possession of the . va cated premises. Wilmington Post. Fruit and Honey. From all g)rtions of the State, east of , the lue Ridge, we learn that the apple crop is deficient. West of the mountains the crop is good. Honey will be very scarce in this State. In this vicinity, fears are entertained that the bees will perish this Win ter, not having made honey enough to subsist upon. Salem Press.

Mjrpi'e.;s, Business in all departments is steadily improving. Our mechan ics are kept busy with the improve ments and building going on in the city this season; and this of course helps mercantile business, because it furnishes the laboring men with means to buy. While mechanics are the life of the town, they also furnish the best kind of a market for the farmer. Let us have the railroad, and building will increase ten fold and manufactories will be established that will give employment to thousands of men where we have hundreds now, and the growth of the city will take care of itself. Elizabeth City Carolinian. Homicide. We learn that a man by the name of.Shelton was shot and mortally wounded, in Madison county, on last Sunday, and died last Tuesday, by William Hensley. It appears that the parties were at a fodder-pulling on Saturday, and being in a neighborhood where there was a good supply of illicit whiskey to be had, tne partiei be came intoxicated, under the effects of which a disturbance arose on Sunday which resulted as above stated. The shooting was donehvith a small rifle gun. The parties had been very warm friends before the unfortunate occurrence, and bit for the excessive use of whisky weald, in all probability have remihed friends! Asheville Pioneer.
