Fire.
The alarm of fire was sounded
about 2 o'clock this morning, and
it was found that two bales of cotton
at the "Baptist Grove were jm fire.
The different fire companies turned
out promptly. The cotton belonged
to Mr. J. D. Joyner, and was fully
insured. This is the second fire at
the same place in about 20 hours.
There seems to be a determination
on the part of some one to burn up
the cotton in the grove. What their
object is, we are unable to conjecture.
We would suggest that a strong
guard be placed around the grove,
and if the incendiaries should be
caught, they ought to be shot upon
the spot.
" Victorina ; or the Maiden Slave."
The above is the title of a new
novel which has just been written by
W. C. Etheridgej Esq., of. Bertie
county, and who has been a resident
in this city for several years. He
has just sold the manuscript to D.
Appleton & Co., of New York for
$5,000 cash, and the same firm also
offers him $3,000 more to dramatize
the same work. We have not seen
or read the manuscript, but learn
from those who have seen and read
it that it is well written and will no
doubt meet with great success. Mr.
Etheridge left this morning for New
York to superintend the proof read
ing, and will be absent for several
months. Ihe writer is quite young
yet and should he live long eiiougn
his friends think he will become one
of the foremost novel writer of tins
country.

In His Flesh for Seventeen Years.
At the battle of White's Tavern,
in 1863, Mr. Robert Priddy, a gen
tleman now living in Manchester,
was shot in the left leg, just above
the knee. The ball penetrated some
distance in the flesh and has never
been extracted. Mr. Priddy has
since suffered very much from his
wound and for the past three weeks
has been quite unwell. Tuesday,
while dressing the wound, he discov
ered a piece of the pantaloons, about
the size of a five-cent piece, which
he wore during the fight, imbedded
In his flesh. The ball forced it into
the leg; after much difficulty the
cloth was taken out and Mr. Priddy
was much better fyesterday. It had
a fresh appearance and though hav
ing been imbedded in human flesh
for more than seventeen years looked
as if it had but recently been cut out
of a pair of new pantaloons. Gener
al J. R. Chambliss and Mr. Priddy
were near each other in the fight and
were shot about the same time, tli?
former being killed. Richmond

As the funeral cdrtege of the late
Czar passed all hats, says the dispatch
were lifted at the approach of the
catafalque. In the same dispatch i ':
is further made known that no plat
forms were allowed to be raised and
none of the citizens were permitted
to 'rent their windows, as these points
offered too good an aim for marks
men. Mile. Bernhardt went to Bee Ni
agara on Sunday. She was spell
bound, but the falls were not. The
falls roared; the Mile.' shuddered.
Then the latter went to her hotel and
wrote in the hot 1 register; 'How
good God is to have created such
beautiful things with enthusiasm
