Across the street from the Angus toffice last evening "was a pugilistic en counter begun most interestingly. The science of boxing did not cut (much fcf a figure, neither could a decision on points be accurately given, but when it comes to Scratching, pushing and pulling t'Ms fraeus takes the cake. The principals were two negro girls, about 15 years of age. As usual a flow of fwords not at ail complimentary pre ceded the hitching. Two other negro Crirls interfered as peace makers and soon the belligerent's walked pleasant fly together to Walnut and up John street. "When just n front of the Goldsfboro tobacco warehouse together ithey went agafin, and 'twas nip and tuck which would win. Quite a nuan Iber, both Jews and Gentiles, took in the moll. Soon the chief came on the tscene and he directed them . to the police station, where they were per aniated to go -to tiheir lames on pay ment of cost, their parents being out of the city. - Mr. E.

Griffin, the news dealer and confec tioner, came over and presented Mr. Tudor with a nickrle for the service, little thinking of its acceptance. Just at the time Dixie Craton came up and proposed that the nickle be spent for himself in a glass of coco-cola, which was kindly consented to. You slh'ould Shavn seen the expression on Chalie's face when he realized for a certainty the toss of the nickle. The annual Hebrew charity ball will Ibe given at the Kennon it morrow eve ning. Admffsaion one dollar. A sup per by the ladies will also be served, the proceds of which go to the Hebrew Orphanage in Atlanta. The reception, given Mr. and Mrs. B. H.

This morning at Princeton Mr. Joseph, 'Perry, Jr., eon of (Mr. Reuben Daniel Perry, was engaged in a friendly wrestle with some friend in the saloon of -Mr. John Worrell.

Superior Court TVith Small Docket James II Pou Exposes the Weakness of the Fuslonlst Contention In Regard to the Amendment Pi-ttsboro, N. C, Feb. 14. Correspondence of The Morning Post Chatham Superior Court is in ses sion here this week, HJs Honor Judge Moore, presiding with his usual dig nity, grace and urbanity. Bdth crimi nal and civil dockets are mall. Mr. Z. V. Taylor, of Greensboro, is repre senting Solicitor Brooks, and by his earnestness of -manner, and ithorough performance of duty, is making crimi nals quake fin their shoes. Hon. James H. Pou, during recess of court at noon today, addressed a large and seemingly appreciative au daence, composed of -Chatham county's voters. His exposition or the Demo cratic gospel was clear, forcible, con vincing, and to many who heard him, embarrassing. He "did not mince his words, but preached the truth in plain, old-fashioned, vigorous English, which could not be misunderstood, misinter preted or distorted as to meaning. It is the general opinion among Democrats here, that Mr. Foil's speech has done a great deal of good in this community, as it is well known that the fusion leaders and officeholders in this county seek every available op portunity -otfl impressing- upon the illiterate white man the. conviction that adoption of the constitutional amendment will Tesult in their ' dis franchisement, , and hitherto many have been found gullible- enough to swallow the story. But Mr. Pou's speech has opened their eyes, and his painstaking explamtion of every fea ture of the proposed amendment and his vivid description of the beneficial results whdoh must flow from its adoption, hare allayed all fear' and inspired and restored confidence. Rabbits are reported as plentiful in this county, and at is to be presumed that razor-back hogs will henceforth be in great demand here. Please inform your readers how much Mr. .Stronoth (by the way, which Stronach?) would charge to train a pair of typical razor-backs. The impulse ito give notice that Sap phira's husband died suddenly one time is irresistible.

Bronson, of Warrenton. Mr. Bronson Is one of the most schol arly men in the church, and his ser mon was lone calculated to do much good, "fie preached from the text re corded in the second chapter of Gen esis: 'And God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul."" The sermon was full of beautiful illustrations and contained food for both heart and mind. The convocation will 'continue until Thursday night. Among- those in attendance today are ".Bishop Che shire, of this diocese; Rev. 5B. !S. Bron son, of Warrenton; Rev. and Mrs. Bell, of Wilson; 'Rev.

Whitfield, who for the past forty years has been agent here for .the Southern Express Company, has in his possession some valuable old relics of days that are past. vAmong his old papers 'he exhibited to your correspondent a letter written to him by Colonel Andrew Joyner, dated at Haleigh, .December 9th, 1S50. It was folded and sealed with wax, as there were no such things known as envelopes in those days. The let ter bears the Raleigh post-mark, and although it lacks but a few months of 'being half a century old it is quite legible, every letter showing up nicely. He next fished up from his bag ot curiosities a t newspaper published in Petersburg in 1830, the Daily Express. Among items of interest to Post read ers in that old paper is the following: "William II. Pleasants, editor of the American Eagle, and Mayor of Ixniisburg, N. C, was united in mar riage with Miss Sarah E. Carlisle, on the evening of June 7th, (1S59) Rev. T. Page Ricaud, of the M. E. Church officiating." "Mr. Ricaud was a pastor of the 'Methodist Episcopal Church hereseveral years ago. 4 Another old newspaper Mr. Whit field showed me was a copy of the Daily Standard, published afr 'Raleigh by Jos. iS. Cannon and Jos. Wm. Holr den, bearing date of August 10, 1SG5, at the time when W. W. Hold en was provisional Governor of 'North Caro lina, The paper contains HolKfen's proclamation calling for a convention to be composed of 125 delegates. The paper also contains President Andrew Johnson's proclamation appointing Hoilden dlolden provisional Governor of North Carolina, Also the .procla mation of the President offering am nesty to certain persons who had as sisted in the rebellion. 'Another curious Item to read in these days of rapid transit, is a sched ule of trains announcing, with a great flourish of headlines, that passengers can go from .Raleigh to Petersburg in one day. .Here is an item in the first men tioned paper which will Interest your Goldsboro correspondent. The item bears date of December 9, 1S50, and is as follows: "Mr. James Knfght, en gineer on the Wilmington and Weldon railroad, ran over a' negro man; near Goldsboro yesterday, tolling him in stantly, and upon examination he proved to be the property of the engi neer."
