It was not identified and .the coronor summon ed a jury of inquest to investigate the matter. Ourcity stepdads are squawking ov ert he condition of the city exhequcr. They pitched in with too heavy a hand to. undo what the Democratic Board had done, from pure devil ishnes3.f Such reckless counsels cannot come to good. . The death of Judge Augustus Seymour of the Federal t Circuit court, creates a vacancy that should bo immediately filled. President Cleveland, should supply the, vacan cy and if the Senate should fail to confirm,! then the onus of the neg lect would be upon them. That was a keen and delicate stroke of irony, inviting a man to make ,a speech, hearing him with patience and politeness, passing a vote of thanks for his counsel, and then turning round and by a unani mous vote adopting a resolution of condemnation of every word he'd said. It recalls Lindsay and the Scotchman. Mr. Willis Dozier, a veteran Con federate soldier, departed this life on i Tuesday, on Parsonage Street, aired C3 years. He was . a gallant and brave soldier in the company of Cob Luke, dee'd. He vas in the battle ol lioanoice is- land. He' died of pneumonia, and was buried by the Order of Red Men, of which he was a member. Wo are pleased to see the iew tem that Mr. Elijah Williams, the veteran hackman of the Arlington Hotel, has added to Ins turn-out. lie now has his old team and his nw. and the oublic will rejoice. "With food team, a good and comfortable '"bus," and polite attention, he makes his best bow to the public that he has served so long and faithfully. We are in receipt of Dr. Weeks' Historv of Southern uuaters: an octavo "volume of 400 pages, and two pamphlets, one tne "Acuiress oi Dr. Weeks at the University "The ITniversitvin the Civil war -and me other "Libraries and Literature in North Casoliua in the Eighteenth Century." Dr. Weeks is an indus trious, conscientious and prolific writer, and wo will refer particularly to these works in a snort time. Our town had better put. on her bridal apparel for the completion of the old Dismal bwamp anai. e look forward to it as a new birth and A'ncw departure for ua in ererj department of business. . nesuau be on a boom in spite of ourselves. The marine railways will te the first to feel the new impulse, and other trades and business. will soon feel it. and in two years from this time our people will be asking one another whcre are we at! Our streets are in terrible con dition and animal and human creation cry oiit for their improve ment. The city fathers have a fear fui responsibility. If they would abolish the pie counter and let the bummers of tbe'Irub. party under stand that they must look to their own strong anns for supportjand not depend opon the public teat and the public crib for their sup port thev would do well. The Democratic lathers icit tne i town in a prosperous" condition. How is j it nowf Echo answers "how." i Death. Departed this life in Perquimans county, hear Woodville, on Sunday morning; early, Dr. Richard H. Blount, aged G5 years. Dr. Blount was a prominent citi zen of Perquimans county, conspi cuous for his courteous and courtly manners kindly disposition and generous hospitality. He was of revolutionary ancestry, being a great-grandson in the ma ternal line of Coh William Skinner, who commanded the militia of Per quimans county during the Revolu tion, and a member of the distin guished .Blount family who have been so conspicuous in every period of North ' Carolina history. .

Lamb, (our Sam), who is now a law student at the Univer sity, is taking several chances in the lottery of human distinction. Be sides his law studies, he. is reaping in the harvest; field of letters, and has just been selected as literary editor on the- staff of the "Tar Heel." I In a leading literary article in a late number bf the "Tar Heel,' which we suppose was written by Mr. Sam Lamb, at least we hope so, the matter of reviving the old "Uni- versity Magazine" i3 discussed, and while we do not entirely concur in the sinister fling at the Faculty, and, impliedly, the old alumni, yet in its general argument there is much to commend, and we think we can feel tho band of Sam in it, and should the old Magazine be given a new birth, we hope to see our young friend's hand again as editor in chief. Our Streets! Our Streets! A wise man takes lessons from the past, and; takes time by the forelock. He that forgets the past and fails to provide for the future will be a sufferer by his own de- fault. The Board of 'lown com missioners that wait for the sun to do their work on our streets will be 'deserted by the sun when the rams come, and will be the victims of their own sloathfulness.and improvi dence. Our city step dads must shoulder their responsibility or give place, to those who will face the sit uation, aud by judgment, careful ness, economy and reform in munin rirml administration, bring confi dence out of despair and restore onr town to its wonted prosperity when under Democratic adminis tration. The time to put our streets in order is when tho sun and the winds help us, and not when we are knee deep in quagmire. We. have heard a suggestion, that three lines . of j "stringers" of oak laid lenrr thwise ithe street and cov ered across the street with two inch juniper plank, would make a sub stantial and smooth read that wouia last several years, and not be expen- sive. Our step-dads must do some thing or our people will have to raise bull frogs in our streets: B00K; NOTICES. " Through the kindness of Prof. Bassett, ol the ! chair of History of Trinity College, wo are in receipt of tho "Annual Publication of Histori cal Papers." This Annual is a re production of selected articles which appear in the monthly "Trinity Archive" during; the year, and is the only historical publication in North Carolina, and one of the three pub lished in the Southern States. The articles in the number of the "Historical Papers" before us are very interesting and are all credit able to the w'riters. They relate principally to North Carolina his tory, and are valuable aids to the training of our j youth in the study of Carolina History. The articles refer to different periods, from the landing of Aniadaa and Barlowe in 1581 t9 the days of the 'Ku Klux and Reconstruction era from 1865 to 1870. j .v The most charming article in the "Historical Papers" is "Raleigh's New Fort in Virginia," by Edward Graham Daves, first to be used It was intended as a lecture for the benefit of the Fprt Raleigh Associa tion to commemorate the settlement of the English Colony on Roanoke Island," and it was delivered for that purpose in the New England States and in Fome parts of North Caro lina. It covers the whole ground of the settlement of Sir Walter's colony on Roanoke Island. It revives with dramatic interest the Elizabethan era of adventure j that led to the ex plorations in Amerioa, and the his tory of the great men who were con nected with it. It is a hand-book of valuable North Carolina History, and should be in' the hands of every man living on th Historic Isle, and rrn-'-'T"" "T Painkiller.
