The Sayauuah quotations a.e, country
lots, 90120; tide water $150IG3
When it was remembered that our
people are jus t at the threshold of rice
culture and have not yet learned how to
prepare this product properly for market,
and the further fact borne in mind that
ours is upland and ubt tide water, it may
be asserted that the New Berne market
is superior to that of Savannah., j
We saw rice in this market last week
which brought $1.40 per bushel, in cotif
sequence ot tne superior manner in
which it had been cultivated and pre
pared for market. We have no doubt,
if all the rice plant ers possessed the skill
and care of this farmer, that the ruling
price here jvould approximate the
high
figures abovej And tre expect
to see
them all attain a proficiency and skill in
the cultivation and curing of rice that
will throw all the present quotations jn
the shad?. ;
To the enterprise of Mr. Elijah Ellis,
in establishing a rice mill at this point,
is largely due the maintenance of prices
here, and such benefits tdthe city and
the country round about should be ap
preciated, ad we have no doubt they are;
The prosperity of this portion of the
State is fafgelly due to the production of
rice, and the maintenance of prices here
is the stimulus to the ' multiplication of
that product. Let us find an example
here, and resolve that New Berne shall
the distinction of li he-bluest
p?iee3 for all country, produce.''
Personal. Mr. N. B. Agostine re
ceived a telegram yesterday from, 'Ches
ter, Pa., stating that Dunk Carbon, his
adopted son, was very low with diph
theria, and no hope for his recovery is
entertained. Mr. A. left for Chester last
evening. '
More Enterprises. We are glad to
learn that other canning establishments
'are to be erected at an early day, and
will probably be located upon the James
City side of the river. It is also reported
that the Wooden Plate Factory; is to bd
eu ! a g-ed , tutu- p roba bl y Te m o v ed to the
same side.
The Market BasinJ We trust the
lower Middle Street merchants will unite
in a private subscription
for dredging the
manifestly theii
market dock. It is so
interest to have the wor
k ione,
that we
have no idea they will allow the steam
dredge to depart until a work so much
needed shall have been done. Messrs.
Reel Brothers propose to open and
head a subscription list this morning.
Annual Conference of A. M. E.
Zion Church. The j aunual North
Carolina conference of the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church.Bishop
J. W. Hood, - presiding, , will meet at
Beaufort, on Wednesday, November 30,
and arrangements have
been made with
Railroads for the transportation of dele
gates ani visitors at a Reduced rate of
fare. i
New Berne Wharf iPropertv. The
value of New Berne wharf property has
been increased many thousands of dol
lars, by the 'dock dredging which has
been going on for bme two weeks or
more. There is scarcely a wharf prop
erty here that cou nQt bef greatly en1
banced in value by the expenditure of a
few dollars in the employment of the
steam dredge.
Improvements. The owners 'of the
mm
Patterson property on Craven street, ad
joining this office, made a decided im
provement yesterday by pulling down
the old wooden shed awning in front of
I . . . -
the Pennington and Patterson buildings.
It would be a gret improvement to New
Berne, if the city authorities would com
pel the pullmg down of all the unsightly
shed-awnings in. town.
A Marine Relic Mftjor Dennison
removed yesterday from 'his dock the
hull.of the old brig "Julia" which was
built in, 1836 by Mr. McLin, for the
West India trade. The Julia is said to
have been a very fine vessel, and was
handsomely fined out but, she never left
tne New Berne dock. .
One 6torv is that great difficulty was
experienced in launching her from which
old sailors augured bad luck and disaster
to her if she were ever put to sea.
Another statement is of a misunder
standing between the builders and owners,
which put the vessel jinto the legal dry
dock for a series of years, and bciore the
suits were ended, she had gone to decay.
and was pronounced unseaworthy, rom
this condition she finally rotted and sunk
in the slip from which Major Dennison
yesterday removed her remains.
A Marvellous Story. A young
colored woman, who represents herself as
a refugee slave frr m Cuba, relates the fol-
lowing story, which deserves to take high
rank in the list of romances, in j real life,
and we eagerly 6eize upon it as the
property of Iistern Carolina, since the
heroine has domiciled in our midat. Her
name is Rosa Grannerson, and' she
says : :
"I am just from the Island of Cuba,
and am now in search of tm mother,
who, I learn, is in Nalshville.'Tenn., and
I ard penniless and friendless. I wis
stdlefi from Portsmouth, Va , from my
mother, when I was only one year of
age, and on Sunday, August 14th, a
cofding to what my owners in Cuba safy,
I was seventeen yeafs or age; I ran
away from the place on being threatened
by my owners to cut my throat for hit
tiftg MtstreeV chil l; and in doing 8','
I had io ewim eight miles before reaching-
the ehip. 1 sailfd from Cuba on
Wednesday morning, July! 20th, stop
ping at Galveston, Texa.8 ; there the pecn
ple assisted me to New York ; from New
York to Richmond, and from there I went
to Portsmouth, and am now in New
Berne. While in the wafer running
away, I Was fehot in trre body eight times
and in the head. I have eighteen names
of my owner's children branded on my
person".' My mother's name, whom I
am now in search of, is Sarah Brooks.
I can speak a part of eight different
languages. Our daily food n Cuba was
cats and dogs for meat, and cotton seed
for br,ead'. Our plates were horse troughs,
and our soup was made of tobacco
worms. William Dickerson, my mas
ter, plows men instead ofjhorses. We
don't wear anv clothV-S there. I have
been to Egypt. Paris. California, France,
Jerusalem, Hayti, San Dominso and
Mexico.
The 3Iarket Dock.
Editor Commercial News .
Ilaving investigated the matter in
reference to dredging the market basin,
I find it can be done for eeventyfive
dollars, perhaps less, hnh ai .the city is
in no con lition . to lay out that sum just
now, and if . it was I doubt if it had
any right to improve the property of
private individuals, unless all the tax
payers lerived the same benefit from it.
f suggest that a subscription be taken
up Tor that purpose. I have seen some
of the merchants near thej market and
find that they are both ready and willing
to subscribe a reasonable sum, and as
there are quite a number jof them, to
gether with the owners of the property
in the immediatevicinity of the dock,
we see no reason Why it should not be
done at once. Mr. Reel informs us that
he will open the list this morning at his
stoie, and wll receive all subscriptions
for that pnrbos. Hoping hat all. may
cwne.w&uk&Dd. lrUe liberally
fore it is too late, I am yours
truly, H.

this city, audat present , Superintendent
of Public Instruction in thU coutity. The

tention an ! seemed to appreciate the
many good suggestions which were mader
by the erudite speaker. .

Vass. who followed in a beautiful and
appropriate prayer. ,
. Mr. Lngiwas next introduced by Mr.
Clark in quite a felicitous manner.
After thanking the latter gentleman
for his complimentary introduction, Mr.

quoted pa rati x - of- tLe classics, 'The
Child is Father to the Man "
We regr?t exceedingly that we were so
situated as to be unableto give our read
