Elizabeth City is a Railroad town now and the city fathers should not allow the cows and cattle to roam the streets at their own sweet will as in the primitive times. It's time for us to begin to put n a little city swell and accommodate ourselves to oucircumstances. Economist.

Me was standing at the time over the still, when the cap blew off, throw ing the boiling water ancl leaves fully twenty feet ' high.

A very severe wind and hail storm visited the upper part of this county last Sunday evening. The hail stones were very large, and the storm lasted tor nearly half an hour. Much dam age was done to the growing crops, and we hear that one young man who. was in the storm, was badly i injured by the falling stones. Fayetteville Examiner. , : We . learn that W.

The Prince of Wales is a goed na tured fellow and is a welcome offset against his mother proud sovereign ty. It having been suggested that it he would lowk into the studio of a struggling artist, that it would make him " immediately successful," he drove to the place at ouce. Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. Many of our State pa pers have seen fit to animadvert se verely upon the testimony of Dr Eu gene Grissom, the talented Superin tendent of the Insane Asylum, in the DeJarnette case. And th recent horrible murder of his father by young Priester is made an occasion for the renewal of those attacks. We regret to see them, the more so because they are not accompanied "by argument, nor evidence the fact tliat their autnors nave react tne testimony in the DeJarnette case, Dr. Gris sotn's opinion as an expert may or may not be correct, but it is simple justice to an eminent private citizen to say that he went to Danville m obedience to a subpoena and at the request of his Board, and paid his own expenses while there. His opinions on matters pertaining to his specialty ought to carry great weight with them when we recall the high estimation he w held in medical cir cles, rot only in this country, but abroad. At the International Medi cal Congress held in Philad Jphia in 1876. he was chosen one f the two Vice-Presidents from the United States the other being the celebrat ed Dr. Gross, of Philadelphia; his repli s to that eminent fraud, Dr Hammond of New York, won the plaudits of the profession; and just the other day in Richmond the American Medical Association made him its third Vice President; and we are informed thai this rigid DeJar- nrtte examination has added fresh laurels to his brow. V e are free to eonfess that as Nortlt Carolinian we would the State contained more such men, and depre cate these floating flings calculated to dim a reputation earned by close auplication conjoined with a huge amount of brains. Anson Times. . Here is a good chance for .lads who would like to serve their country and at the same time sail the bonuie blue sea. ' Next September twenty five cadet engineers for service in the navy will be appointed, by competi tive examination, held at Annapolis, and any American boy between fif teen and twenty years of age has the right to contest for one of the cadetships. No candidate should present himself at Annapolis, how er, unless he is well versed in the elementary Jiinglish branches gram- mer, geography, arithmetic, algebrc geometry and natural philosopy. Tne successful candidates rank with thf cadet midshipman and their pay is the same, $500 a year. Having thought very Beriously over the matter and de cided to become a candidate, a boy should write to the Secretary of the An Indian Squaw Sacrificed. It is now stated upon reliable au thority that the Indians, at the bur ial of member of their tribe, in the Harmony Mountains, some eight or nine miles from town, actually sacrificed a squaw on the grave of the dead brave. The Indians are very reticent regarding the matter, but ad init that, the squaw was a witch, and had, by her influence with the evil spirit, caused the death of four or five men of the tribe, against whom she entertained some grudge. Thr believed that the woman, who is a Bannock, was in league with the. evil one, and by her spells and in cantations could bring sickness and death to those with whom she cam' iu con1 act. The Indians say that it has been the custom of thoir tribo from time immemorial to put such persons to death at the grave of one of their victims, and they con sider themselves wholly justified in doing so. The woman, we learn walked to the burying ground per fectly reconciled to In r fate, and made no attempt to get away. A few years ago a young squaw known as Susie Jane was pronounced a witch by the leading men of the tribe und sentenced to be put to death. On the way to the place of execution she made her escape and left the town for awhile. As no Indian died within a given time after her esmpe it was thought t hut the evil spirit had been been frightened away, and she was pardoned and permitted to I return. A Dispatch from Burton, W. Va. eports that a few nights since four men broke into the house of Mr. McMascers, a newly-married man, seized and bound him, and iu his presence indecently assaulted his wife.
