Train ' Delay- Ice and Snow the
cause. ,
The railroads are sadly out of joint.
Almost impassable ice covers the tracks,
and the pumps and everything else are
frozen hard. The North Carolina train
from the west was again behind time
yesterday afternoon, on account of de
lays caused by the extreme severity of
the weather. The Raleigh & Gaston
was w" "m' ifc cswm5 "iiaioui
ahy Northern mail, having left Weldon
before the Petersburg train could arrive.
No express from Baltimore has reached
this city since the 29th of December,
and there is no immediate prospect here
of any but a local business.. The North
Carolina freight train which left Golds
boro at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon,
did not arrive here .until 4 yesterday
morning, the engine having slipped
from the rails bj' the peculiar condition
of the track.'
The weather shows little sign of mod
erating, and until it does, there is little
likelihood of any improvement in the
running of trains.

HOMICIDE IN ORANGE.
George IJoyd hoots and Kills Will.
Thompson.
i We learn of a homicide which took
place in Orange couiity, on Wednesday,
under the circumstances narrated below.
Mr. Will. Thompson; who lives in the
county of Orange, had been with his
family on a visit to friends at Chapel
Hill, and returning home; stopped Mori
day night at the residence of Thomas
Lloyd, where he and the family remain
ed until the next morning. Wednesday
morning after breakfast, the Lloyd fam
ily, Mr. Thompson and perhaps others,
were out in the yard snow-balling, when
Geo. Lloyd, a son of Thomas, got angry
with Thompson, and drawing out a
pistol, shot him in such manner that he
died in a few moments. Our informant
did not learn the locality of the shot,
nor whether or no the slayer was appi-e-'
hended.
Thompson, the slain man, was a broth
er of Mr. Henry C. Thompson, who is a
clerk in the office of Col.' I. J. Young,
of this city. He was or had been a rev
enue' officer, and was at one time a can
didate on the Republican ticket for the
sheriffalty of Orange county, against
Sheriff Hughes. .His remains were in
terred yesterday.

Destruction of a Cotton Factory.
The large cotton factory of- Messrs
Williams & Murchison, 12 miles from
Fayetteville, was destroyed by fire Wed-r
nesday morning about 3 o'clock. . The
origin of the fire is unknown. Tlie loss
is about $60, 000, amount of insurance
not ascertained; The fire throws about
75 operatives out of employment.
Mr. Wynne's 1 on union.
Mr. George W. Wynne, who was so
seriously injured on 'Wednesday, has
improved very greatly since our last
issue. .Late last evening he was resting
very easily, and was quite cheerful. His
physicians now entertain no doubt of
his ultimate recovery.
Metropolitan Hall Last Night.
As previously announced, the Ral
eigh Amateur Dramatic corps made
their second appearance in "Our Ameri
can Cousin" at Metropolitan Hall last,
night. ; . '
The entertainment -of the evening
opened with a presentation of 'The Ma
niac" by 'Mr. Louis Haywood, who evi
dently entered into the spirit of the
poetry and. sentiment of the piece and
elicited the applause of the audience.
In noticing the main feature of the
evening, the comedy of "Our American
Cousin," we can but reiterate what we
said of it on its first presentation. Each
and every one of the young ladies and
gentlemen composing thejroupe acquhV
ted themselves to the entire' "satisfaction
of all present, and they may well con
gratulate themselves on their brilliant
"success. .
We would like to extend our notice of
the performance and allude to each of
the actors separately, but ' the lateness
of the hour at, which the curtain fell up
on the last scenes prevents.
In the middle "of the second act an
alarm of fire was raised, caused by the
burning of a stable ' in the eastern part
of the city, whieTi caused .great alarm
and confusion, and came very near
bringing the performance to an abrupt"
conclusion. -
Members ofthe Citizens' Cornet Band
formed amateur orchester and enliven
ed the pocasion and added much to the
entertainment of the evening.
FIRES L.AST XIGIIT.
Two in First WarJ-f-ffht .Losses.
7 There were tw-o fires in first ward last
night. About 10 o'clock the first alarm
was given, and it was discovered that
the hot house of Messrs. Pullen & Pal
mer, on Polk street, near Oakwood
Cemetery, was on fire. This was en
tirely destroyed, and with it the stable
adjoining, which belonged to Mr. Stan
hope Pullen, as did also the hot house.
A horse and wagoin were burned with
the stable. The fire is supposed to
haVe caught from the stove in the hot
house. The loss is about $200, over and
above the value of the buildings and
tlie horse and wagon. y
At 11 o'clock the-alarm was again
sounded. The fire was in the same sec
tion of the city. A visit to the scene
revealed that the stable on the premi
ses of Dr. B. F. fcViiington, comer Per
son and Polk streets, which premises
are now occupied by Dr. T- DAMartrn,
was on fire. Before any decided steps
could be taken to stop the flames, they
had entirely destroyed the stable. Dr.
Martin's horse, carriage and harness,
were saved. The- former was driven
out by policeman Scales and a colored
man huthe employ of Dr. Martin. The
loss in this instance, exclusive of the
stable, was about $20 in forage, ,&c. It
is manifest that this tire w as the work
of an incendiarv.
i
In both cases the firemen turned out,
but could be of no service.
Superior Court.

o'clock. The following cases were taken

. Vance's Inaugural.
.. Norfolk Landmark.
When our party 'was diseirssin.' the
claims of possible candidates, Yance
was the man whose banner we unfurled,
and we iiailed his nomination with do-
iigiit, ior we Knew that he would kindle
a flame like a prairie fire in the hearts
of his countrymen, and thus burn out
the' aliens and native traitors who held
possession of his State. He did his du
ty manfully ! and .well , in the canvass
and his inaugural shows that he under'
stands the gravity of. the issues now
before tlje American people.
, It happens that his speech gives a
very conclusive answer to Judge Mackey,
who very gratuitously undertook to
speak for Governor Vance the other day
in Cincinnati. The- Captain-General of
North Carolina in 'his own person savs
what he thinks ot the duty of his State
in this crisis, and his views certainly arc
not those attributed to him by the gen
tleman atove referred to. ' On the con
trary, Vance is firm and decided in his
belief that Tilden and Hendricks have
been elected, and, in -his belief that the
will of the majority should not be ig
nored, by the powers that be. His
speech, however, requires-no comment.
It is pitched in a lofty key, and will vi
brate from one end to the other ?f the
American Uiiion, rousing a responsive
echo in every manly heart.
