Died Sure Enough .A Singular Case. Everybody in Raleigh and almost everybody in the State who has read the Raleigh papers, knows something of a eitizen.of this place who dreamed inauy years ago that if he ever passed north o a certain point near his house (which is in the south-eastern portion of the city). and attempted to come iip street. the same thing 27 years ago, but disre garded the dream, passed the spot and soon died. A night or two after .her death her husband had the samedream and such an impression did it make upon him that after that time no persua sion could induce him to come up street. He sold all of his property lying nea the centre of the city, and stayed rclir giously at home. Last summer, however, his son and another party had a fight in the pres ence of the old man, ami he was sum moned to appear in the Mayor's -Cjuit as a witness. A policeman went after him and brought him up street nolaig roUn. Everybody had heard of the carious case, and the appearance of the old man excited as much interest 011 the streets as that of a wild animal would h ive done. As soon as he could do so, he returned home where he continued to remain, brooding over his dream and over the fact that he had sinned agains what he had believed to be light and 1-evelation, until a few days ago when, after hating gradually grown more and more feeble, he calmly yielded up h.s spirit. He was 57 years of age when he died' and his death and the circumstances of his life will afford a sweet morsel for the superstitious to roll under their tongues. Higin of the Times. The seed sown 011 the recurrence of the fourteenth annual celebration of tlie proclamation of emancipation has al-; ready begun to spring up and bids fair to bring forth an abundance of fruit. In a discourse, by the Rey. G.-W i Brodie, at StTTiuTs A. M. E. Church, on last Sabboth evening, a very hopeful view was taken of the present situation. He told his congregation that already the clouds in the east are beginning to break away and rays of light were pene trating the darkness by which they were surrounded; and in the language, as expressed but a few days since, by one from whom he least expected such, he believed that God would yet cause the wrath of man to praise H iin. .Tie clouds which were so dreaded were big with mercy.

Pool, is a defaulter. It was known a the time, and was so stated in the papers, that shortly after he took charge of the office, he was entrusted by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs with the sum of $1,500, tobe applied to the education of the Eastern Band of North Carolina Cherokee Indians. This money was placed by John Pool in the Raleigh National Bank. ' It is,, a matter of fact : that of this $1,500, he .has paid out the sum of $75; for the purpose for which the money was intended T5 and no mire. With this $75 he paid the salary of one teacher for two months. Of the $1,500, there now remain in the bank $190, and no more. Thefund has been checked on until no more of it than this remains. When Mr. Scar borough took charge of the office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, he wrote to John Pool concerning this fund. The latter responded that he had the vouchers for he payment of the money and would answer him satisfac torily when he qualified and gave bond for the proper application of the Indian fund. Bear in mind 'that -Mr. Scar borough had, then already qualified. Pool further urged Mr. Scarborough to come on to Washington and they would settle the matter up. and at the same time rather discouraged him from hav ing anything to do w iQ . the ,control of the Indian fundUP J, 'v w3Thi- WQ-staeof tnVciM- at ent. 1 he money Is missing aud 'Where is it? This question is one which' wil"- in all probability come be.fore the Leg islature, and then yo .shall have a solu tion of it. It is a significant fai l, in this connec tion, that John Pool was appointed to the otlice by Governor Brogden in the latter part of July, for th& reason that it was thought he would render valua ble aid in the campaign, and that he really remained in this State but three or-four days, simply coming herefrom Washington after his appointment and returning in less time than a week.

' The other morning a man sent to the : office of the ' Register of Deeds , to get : a marriage , license." He .who was '' sent for the license had . to,' answer cer-V tain questions, and among these as to the color of the parties who: were about to contract in marriage. ' .The deputy -Register of Deeds was surprised to hear ' in response to hl questions that the man was white and the potman oolored. Of course the license did not issue . In the afternoon we happenotl in the Register's office, and while! there, the . man who had " wanted the ; license en tered. He had come, to inquire why it ' was refused him, and though he had it' fully explained' that the intermarriage of the races was illegal, he left evidently . ; not at alt satisfied, because he said, ; , there are whites aud negroes .living to-- i gether here, and hie didn't see - why he ,.,N couldn't live with a negro it: anybody else did?' The ! man stated that he was born and raised in Denmark!' His oon- a Ive'rsaUon, has been living m this country for 'some timepast. ' " - "l ' ' ''" -: 'There was present in1 the office when this Dane appeared, a gentleman to whose mind . the circumstance recallod . an incident of by-gone times. He re members to have heard, all his life, of a Hessian who came into Halifax county, this State, just at the end of the revo lutionary war,-and after 'living there for, awhile, became much infatuated with a negress living, in the neighborhood. There was a legal inhibition, as now, to the intermarriage of the races, but there was a clause of the law which provided that if a white man desiring to marry a negro woman, or cice vejrta, would ap pear before a magistrate and make oath that he or she had negro blood in his or her veins, the marriage might be sol emnized. The Hessian was aware of this law, and so, in ordor to dodge its intent as well as to shield himself from indictment for perjury, ho drew alnnit half a pint of blood from the arm of the negress, drank it and then went forth ' with and made the necessary oath be fore a magistrate. The .marriage was thereupon solemnized, and the descend ants of the couple aro still living in Halifa.x Meeting of the Directors of the North Carolina Railroad .Reslgiiatloa of !IaJ. IV. A. Smith.
