The beautiful flower sent us by Miss

fact that it blooms only at night. Mrs.
Goodwin has a verv handsome plant of
like kind. Sunday night last we saw it
while in bloom and marked a feature
which distinguishes it from all other
fllowers, that is, the bloom bursts from
the stem of the leaf instead from the

flowers.

EDENTON, JN . O.y Friday, ucxoper v, jlpoy.
EVERY TUESDAY AND
The Fall Term of Chowan Superior
Court, Judge Graves presiding, was
opened on Monday. Mr. J .: M. Fore
hand was sworn as foreman . of the
errand iarv. '. -
The first case caned, assail ana
batery. was disposed of. verdict of
the jury being not gntlty.
The case of Kichartt Holiey cnargea
with careless drivinz upon a public
road and, in consequence, running
into the buggy or ur. it. li. w inoorn.
was one ot some importance, in that,
it was calculated to teach the uni in
formed that the highway, although
i
public, does not belong exclusively
to the fastest horse or the bigest con
veyance. Every man has rights
t.lm road which everv- other man
is bound to respect. I Uron a virdict
of guilty, the Judge imposed a fine of
$5.00 and cost.
The case of Solomon Levy, charged
with cuttins a citizen iuinmoned to
arrest a member of his family was,
upon submission, considerately dis
posed, of by His Honor wno was
mindful and appreciative of the
strong'feelings of a child in be hall of
his father. He was discharged upon
payment of costs.
The case, about which our readers
have been told, that of the State vs
Frank White and two colored boys,
charged with an affray, (called by the
boys in town as the ngnt at tnarapi
onst Branch) elicited some interest.
In the difficulty White shot a colored
man in the face and emptied his pistol
at the crowd which caused them to
heat a retreat in careless order but.
doubtless, with quickened step and
fixed purpose ot security.- upop a
virdict of guilty, the Court putall .the
parties under bond sumcienc to in
sure their oresence at the next term of.
the Court and for their good beha
viour tn the mean time, and required
of them the payment' of the costs
which we learn was quite large ana in
itself a sufficient punishment toteacn
the convicted a valuable lesson as to
the justice of th e law and thecertainty
otits punishment.
Among other cases aisposea pi, ioo
numerous to mention here,wasthatof
the State v Louis Levy, in which ti e
Defendant was charged with Libel.
It seems that some months ago Levy
published the Editoruf the Albemarle
Enquirer in a circular ;rcanl using
therein language, piain,'. strong and
descriptive and wuich gave the editor
: uch orlence as to drive , him to the
Courts for a safe defence and for
exculpation. Levy was arrested and
iirought before a Justice Peace who.
Vor want of final jurisdiction, bound
him over to answer. The case there
fore appeared on the docket at this
term and was looked to with interest
by many, curious to know bj' what
law a man could Be punished in thi
country for telling, the truth. To the
astonishment of; the prosecutor and
his friends, the. learned Solicitor,
whose eagle eye and quick perceptive
precludes tardiness in reaching con
clusions and decerning facts, called
the case only to have entered upon
the docket its final history quickly
told in the brief bnt expressive terms
"Nolle prosequi."
The case of two colored men in
dicted for fin affray and found guilty
closed the State l)ocket on Wednes
day. There were no convictions for
infamous offenses such as are punish
able with confinement in the btate 8
prison, and we are glad to record the
fact. ' While the size of the Civil
Docket can be righteously regarded
an index to the business progress of
community, a small criminal docket
argues will for the morals of the peo
ple and the general good quiet of the
country.
The Civil Docket was reached
1 uursday. More hereafter.

FRIDAY,
From Richmond Christian Advocate.
He died, after an illness of a week, at
the home of his niece, Drake's Branch,
Charlotte county, Va., September 80th.
He had been in indifferent health for
some years, and not in the active minis-
trv, though preaching as opportunity
offered. He was a native of Fredericks
burgind joined the Virginia Conference
in 1846. He became a chaplain in the
Confederate Army November, 1861, and
surrendered at Appomattox. Of him
were written these true words: 4The
chivalrous cavalrvman, General Stuart,
used to sign his name 'yours to count
nn ' If Frank A u trust is not of that
sort, then none of that sort is among us.
He never smote with look or word any
absent man. The thought of any inter
est with which he was charged receiv
ing hurt through his slackness never
occurred to any Church or army official.
His bones would have been by the sea
gate at Pompeii. Thecrowd might have
rushed in flight for safety, but he would
have never moved. Such is August.
He was chaplain when Lee surrendered.
A quiet, spare gentleman withal. The
Church has a true son in him; the Con-
fere nee a member of high qualities.
Hp nreached a few davs before his
death, and went joyf ullv and in faith to
his reward. His comrades in tne con
ference lament him as a loss to the sum
of virtue and zeal in their ranks.
He never married. He was quiet, re
served; and without wish to join the
business of Conference proceed i up.
He was probably in his sixty seventh
year. He did not care to ttate his age,
and has often refused to sit for a like
ness. There is none of him known to
this writer.
He was buried in Hollywood, of this
city (Richmond).
