LOCAL DEPARTMENT. V At, the Sunday-school Conventfon held i n G fer 1 otter- last -week Mr.' H $ Qi Wall, of, our, to w n, was e lected a day-school Convention to he held in Londcm Ju ly2, 3, nd ;& pecial rates have been secured for delegates, $160 paying lor round-trip passage, boarjd, and all necessary expenses. Quite'a number of persons are going from different part8 of the State, but Mr. Wall has not yet decided to cross the hi.. waters. Read the Racket's new advt. TheCqunty Commissioners will :meet next Wednesday, ,17th. Mr. Russell has returned from the North and is-receiving his Spring and Summer, goods. There are few merchants who know-better-how and where to buy than he does, and he always secures bargains and divides1 profits with his customers. ;:See his new advertisement.' Well, now beat this. We have it from reliable authority that Elijah Covington, Esq., who lives near Rockingham, recently killed a Ply mouth Rock hen which weighed,' when dressed, nine pounds. One pound o'f"leaf fat" was taken from the hen. Who can beat it? Rev. T. Harrison has taken the' agency here for the sale ol Doctor King's' RoyalGermatuer, a blood pu rifier, which has gained a great deal of celebrity, to judge by the high tes timonials of its efficacy. Of course Mr. Harrison would have nothing to do with a medicine which he did not believe to be all right. See advertisement. We enter a protest against the fhall adjoining The .Rockett office being used as a "City Hall." Per haps Capt. Everett also has a voice in the matter; but these Mayor's -courts demoralize The Rocket force. They have to stop to "'see how it goes," and want to hear all the evi dence. Besides, the parties arrested don't like to be so e-lose to a "prent shop" when on trial. F.ust now our etdvertisingcolumns are somewhat crowded, -and our readers, njttst excuse the small amount of reading matter given last week and this. As it is, we are'com pelled to leave out one or two new advertisements this week, but will manage to give more reading mat ter next week. It is a source of sat isfaction . that The Rocket is so highly appreciated as an advertising medium. But business, men soon find out a. good ttriag and holdjon to it- for all of which we return thanks. - "Can'teata'thiBH sapaYUla is a woderlul medicine for creating an "appetite, , -regulating d igestiont and. gi v tog strength. - - ements--' ?;. " Mr. John S.' Ledbetter has Wgun work on his . d welling or Washing ton street ;- Mr. S. Wi, Steele is preparing to erect a stable and barn upon; his premises, on Washington street. Dr.:J. M.' Cbvingtpn is" having a fresh coat of paint put upon his dwelling, on Randolph street. The fight waxeth furious overtlve spoils The Republicans of Rock ingham are divided, one faction ad vocating Messrs. Morrison and Ter ry for the postoffices at Rockingham and Laurinburg respectively, while the other faction is fighting them "for all they are worth." The news was sent out from Washington last week that Morrison and Terry had been appointed, and forthwith a del egation left Rockingham to "doctor the returns ;" in other words, to have the appointments revoked. That se"nt forward another delegation, and between the two we presume they will have a sweet time of it. It is consoling to Democrats to reflect that, notwithstanding they had been out for twenty-five years, no such disgraceful scramble for office fol lowed their accession to power four years ago. They can look with se rene complacence upon the internal strifes of .the h ungry JEt tdicals. TOEEST PISES. We are indebted to Dr. E. J. Gar rett for an invitation to be present at the Commencement of the Uni versity of Mary land 'on the 8th of April, to be held in the Academy of Music at Baltimore. Also to Mr. L A. Baldwin to attend a public de bate to be given by the Hesperian Literary Society at Trinity College n the 12th of April. A." H. White, Esq., is the orator for the occasion. And so we are to have Kansas beef in Rockingham. Mr. L. Weill has made arrangements, as he in forms us, with Armour & Co. to re ceive dressed beef and mutton twice -everyweek, shipped via Charlotte in refrigerator cars. We heard an inebriated rustic remark some time ago that "cotton and h 1 were about the only things raised in the Suth -systematically," and it does seem that he was hitting very near the bull's eye. The County Sunday-school Con tention to be held here on the 18th last, should be largely attended. An interesting prograuirae for the occas ion has been arranged, a copy of which' has been forwarded to every Sunday-school superintendent in the county, and we are requested to urge that the matter be prominently brought before their respective schools. Dr. T: H. Pritchard, of Wilmington, has been invited and is expected to deliver, at night, his lecture upon Europe, which is said t . . . . w oe a very entertaining ann in structive one. While we had high winds and fair weather last Saturday and Sun any, other portions of the country were not so fortunate. Even as near by as Raleigh, according to the News and Observer, on Saturday "the wind blew 'great guns' all day and about 4:30 p. ra. snow began falling. t fell steadily until after dark.w hen 1 turned into a driving rain.15 Fur ier orth and to -the Northwest it 'as much worse, as will be seen by i e news published elsewhere.

Forest fires have been raging for several days to the South and East of Rockingham. Great destruction to timber and fences has been wrought by the flames, and io some instances barns and dwelling have been burned. In the neighborhood of Gibson's Mills, in this county, the fires burned-with great fury last Sat urday and Sunday. Mr. J. W. Mc Lean's dwelling house narrowly es caped destruction, and all. of his fences were btirned. Many of his neighbors were equally unfortunate. A negro living near by lost his barn containing a Quantity of shucks. fodder and corn. There are doubt less other cases of which we have not heard. JBurned Out. - There was a sad case of burning at Moss Neck,-in Robeson count', last Saturday. Win. C. McNeill, Esq., lost his dwelling, outhouses, and everything he had, except his horses and a part of his household furniture. His toial loss is about $2,000 not a cent of insurance. Mr. McNeill is about 80 years old and. the loss falls heavily upon him. Negro Drowned. On Sunday last the body of a ne gro man was found in Shoe Heel Creek, about two miles from Maxton. The body was in Richmond county, one or two hundred yards from the .Robeson county line. The negro a well known character about Max ton went fishing last Thursday and had not since been seen, but his ab sence excited no remark. He was subject to epilepsy, and it is sup posed that he was seized with a fit and fell into the water, as, when found, his feet were lying on the bank and his head upon the bed of the creek, his hat still on. Our in formant could not recall his name. That hacking cough can be so quickly cured by Shiloh's Cure. We guarantee it. Will you suffer with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint ?

Of Avoca and the coming season there the Raleigh News and Observer-says': "The opening of the great Avoca Health and sporting resort on Albe marle Sound, April 22nd to 28th is to be one of the greatest events ever seen in North Carolina. Every one in North Carolina is taking a great interest in the open ing and well they may, for it will prove the opening wedge which is to make the eastern section of the Old North State known and appre ciated the world over. Dr Cape- hart is to be congratulated on the completion of the great work he has had in hand, and the systematic and sucrssful manner with which it has been managed. The Doctor is a genial, pleasant gentleman, and will please every one who comes in contact with him. Those who are thinking of gm'ng to Avoca to attend tne opening, should inquire of the nearest ticket agent for excursion tickets to Avoca The indications are that the open ing will be of the most interesting character. Horse and boat races, fox chases, balls, fish suppers, clam hakes and oyster roasts, excursions by boat and many amusing features are on the programme. Governor D. G. Fowle v ill de-liver the opening ad tress. Matthew White, superintendent of races, promises that that amuse ments under his department will le second to no trotting course in the South. They have some very fine horses.

It broke out on the Fremont lands on Friday evening, and the high winds of Saturday and Sunday rendered it impossible to check its progress. It swept over a section of country about eight miles wide and ten or twelve in length, and was still burning in the neighborhood of Whitaker's saw mill, near Hoffman, on Tuesday evening, but our inform ant did not know the extent of the the damage done to Mr. W. J. Whit aker who lost heavily in lumber and timber. The following persons are the greatest losers so far as we have heard: H. B. Currie, fencing and turpentine timber; D. B. and N. T. Currie lost all. their outbuildings, fences, fodder, &c; Wm. Bounds lost every panel of his fencing; Jno. D. I.oven lost lightly in fencing; Elias Watkins, colored, lost all of his fencing and a barn containing about 40 bushels of corn and all of his forage; W. W. Graham lost 700 or 800 panels of fencing and a quan tity of limber; Richard Dawkins lost nearly all his . fencing and a quantity of timber; J. B. Gibson lost between $700 and $800 worth of crude turpentine, turpentine tim ber, It is. impossible to estimate the totrfl loss, but it will run well into the thousands.
