Spencer, Esq., which occurred at his residence, in Louisburg, Friday eve ning. Mr. Spencer was a rising young lawyer and fast winning a reputation that would have made him an' ornament to the State bar.. He was for several years asso ciated with our present able State Solici tor io business, but after the election of CapL Cooke as Solicitor, he formed a co partnership with Mr. Timberlake. In his death Louisburg and Franklin county loses one of its best and most active and influential citizens, lie leaves a wife and three young children to mourn their loss: j TaxabLks. Ashe county sent in its ab stract of taxable property to the State Audi tor yesterday. The amount of taxable property in the county is $122,004t)8. The general State tax is $1,220.05; special State, $1,247.67; school tax $2,411.18; county tax, 8,077.98. Mitchell county foots up as follows ; Amount of taxable property $249,569.00; general State tax $366.03; special, $374.40; school tax $1,285.27; county tax $5, 304.94. It is none of our business specially, but we state it for the information of all con cerned, that the general State tax paid by Mitchell county is not sufficient to pay the mileage of its Radical representative to the Legislature under the old law. New PpsTOFFica. The office, formerly Known as rocKet I'osiomoe, in juoore county, has been re-opened in . the neigh borhood of its former location. This office has been closed since the war, and the peo ple of that section which is quite thickly settled, nave been compelled for the last twelve years to send from six to twelve mik s to procure their mail-matter. Mr. Alex ander" Mcintosh is the Postmaster. The people of "the Pocket" neighbor hood 'are indebted to the untireing and strenuous exertions of Mr. William Mc Leod, who for the last three years has been unremitting in his endeavors to procure the establishment of a mail route through that section, and has at last succeeded. The route is but a short one, running from Jones boro to Pocket Cieek, around by Governor's Creek, etc., and is called "The McLeod Route." It is hoped that ere long it may be extended. Thi Fabmvillb Ixsubaxcb and Bank rso Company. In our issue of yesterday we published some remarks concerning the Farmville Insurance and Banking Com pany relative to certain losses sustained by said company in Enfield several months ago. We have since the publication of the remarks alluded to been assured that the delay in payment of the losses re ferred to was not caused by any inability on the part of the company to meet the same, but is simply owing to the disagree ment on the part of the company's ad juster and the insured as to the proper value of the property, a question which ' will of course be settled by the suit which the insured have brought in the matter. As to its abilitv and willingness to meet . all of its obligations, we are informed that since the losses above referred to occurred. - th; company has paid through its agents in this State thousands of dollars in pay- . ment Of losses concerning which there was no question or dispute. -We make this ex planation in ample justice.

Blackwell for infringement of the trade-mark known as the Durham BulL was concluded in this citv yesterday afternoon. The taking 'of Mr. Blackwells depositions will be commenced at Durham on the 25th, and further depositions on both Bides are to be taken at different points iu the State. .... . ' ,. Mr. McElwee has made out a strong case, it is not denied that one Green was the inventor of the trade-mark. ... Mr. Dan iel P. McDonald, of Columbia, S.

He knows that Mr. McElwee did buy said half interest and that he and Green became full etrtners in the trade-mark. . Mr. S.

H. B. . Williams, O. G. Foard and other , gentlemen testify to Green having told them the same thing. About the year 1866 Green died without having sold his interest in the trade-mark, and thus McElwee was left in full pos session of it- The trade-mark, had been duly registered in the patent; office at Washington, and the title to it was in all respects regular and . valid.

Becoming more violent he finally murdered her, cutting her; throat from ear to ear, and the fiend incarnate, not content with this ghastly deed, then . com pletely disemboweled her, ripping her open trom breast bone to pelvis.

The dock ets were not very large and the business was completed on Thursday. The people of Montgomery have taken the gold fever to a considerable extent, and judging from the accounts we got, and from the speci mens shown us, we think they have cause for the fever. The mineral wealth of Mont gomery county is equal to that of any other county in the State. The prospect is nattering that it will soon be developed to a considerable extent. The Russell mine is being worked vigorously; the Christian mine has recently been sold, and operations will soon begin. Messrs. Wade & Smith erman have a first rate mine: parties are negotiating for it, and others that we might mention. We hope all will succeed, and thus throw capital into the county. Ran dolph Regulator.

' ' Daredevil Skobeleff. Daredevil Sko- beleff, who blames nobody, but accepts defeat as the will of God, is the most pop ular of the Russian heroes. ' His force was on the extreme left of Schakoffski's division in the first disastrous attack upon rlevna. When his battalion of infantry was under the fire of the twelve guns defending that portion of the Turkish line, the soldiers shouted, "Charge I and began rushing forward. Skobeleff ordered a halt ; lines were formed with the precision of a dress-parade, and the command was given, "Carry arms!" "ITesent ajms I" wnen the line was at a "Present," the shells be gan to fall among them. . Skobeleff. then asked them if they did not . think "they presented a , ridiculous spectacle in that position under fire.' They replied that they did. Then he assured them that be would keep- them there until tbe next day unless they promised to keep order in the ranks and await the command of their officers, instead of yelling and charging on their own account. The men assured him that they saw the force of his remarka. They were tben led lorwara and behaved splendidly during the whole action. This incident brings to mind the iron-handed discipline of Catherine's terri ble Marshals, who opened their batteries upon their own soldiers while tbey were wavering in tbe charge, and drummed tbf lr generals out ot camp wnen tney ven tured to suggest a retreat. How to Choosk a Hc8BAHD.-:-On one of Cant, Morgan's voyages from America to England, he bad under bis care a very attractive young lady, who speedily dis tinguished heraeir by reducing nve young gentlemen to the verge of distraction.

This novel proposition met ; tbe young lady's views, and the programme was accordingly carried out, with the trifling exception that four of the young men took the plunge, and. being picked bp by the boat, presen ted themselves dripping auartette oppn the ship's deck. The object of their un dampened ardor, no less wet than them selves, fled to her state-room and sent for her adviser, the captain. MNow, Captain," cried she in despair, "what am I to do?"
