Yesterday was a lovely day. Dull times lathe city today -every body who could get off has gone fish ing. The fire companies were on the scene in about two minutes from the time the alarm was sounded. Remember that the fair of the Cap ital Hose Company commences to night. A large number of ladies and gen tleuien spent today at the various mill ponds near the city. Many went out on picnic excursions. A fertilizer license was1, issued last Saturday afternocn to Messrs Sling luff & Co, of Baltimore, to sell "Brit ish Mixture" in tlm State. It is now 'aid, that tho west wing of the penitentiary will not be fully completed and ready for occupancy before the coming fall. The County Commissioners are in regular monthly session today, all the members being present They trans acted only regular routine business.

Mammoth Easter Ejyff. Mrs J J Hall, of this city, has an egg which was laid last Friday by a r ne year old pullot. belonging tw her. which, by actual measurement, is seven and one quarter inches in length and five and one half round. Who can beat this? China Silks. In consequence of the promised great popularity of China silks this season, W H & R S Tucker & Co, have secured the choicest collection, of as pretty, dainty -and practical styles as can be found anywhere in both plain and printed effects. The prices commence as low as 45 cents, and for a real good article at that, full 22 inches wide, and in new and attractive colorings. Wants Turnip "Sallei." A few days ago a prominent citizen of this city, was coming up the street and met a colored woman who was weeping bitterly. He nsked her what was the matter; she said she had a daughter in Kansas and that she had written her to sepd her some turnip "'sallet." That she had fixed the "salleV up to Bend to ther and 1 these fofks here charged her five dol 1 lars just to carry her daughter a little turnip 'sallet." It almost broke her j heart to think they would do so. j Moral there is no land that is better than the old North State, in which the turnip .sallet" grows; i where it.' il abundant and cheap.

Mr Harris is, in our opinion, the right man in the right place polite and courteous to all -taking great i ains to please those who visit the museum. The Right Spirit. We copy the following from our sprightly contemporary, The Day, of Oxford: Now that the location of the Bap tiet Female College has been determ ined, let us hope that it is for the best interests of the institution that it was located at, Raleigh. We differ ed with the board, and while we can not endorse its action in every par ticular. we think it v ould be the part of magnanimity, now that its location is established, for our people to en dorse it by their influence and their purse. Let us dwell together ia unity, and worn for a common good to a common peoplethe education of the girls ot North Carolina. Personal Mention.

At the ll'o'clock services yesterday, two persons was received into mem bership by certificate. -The text of the morning was the 15th chapter, 1st Coiinthians and the 20th verse: "But now is Christ risen from the dead.and become the first fruits of them that slept." The pastor, Rey Mr Cordon, made it plain to the large and a' ten- tive congregation that Christ did rise from the grave, and that he was not stolen away as was accused by those of his enemies. This was one of Mr Cordon's finest efforts. The pulpit was beautifully decorated with flow ers and evergreens, and the choir gave the congregation some very fine music. After the sermon a thanks giving offering was taken up, and the amonnt received was $510, which was considered a fine collection. - x At 8 o'clock the Bright Jewels had a good time, many being present to witness the exercises of the little folks, which were pronounced very fine. iiHir At 8 o'clock in the evening Mrs Barney, from Rhode Island, held a Bible reading which was very inter esting; everybody who w&s present ; retired from the church pleased with I the evening services. Death ofMra Mary Royster. It becomes our painful duty to an nounce the daih of the above named lady, which took place, at her resi dence on West Morgan street, last night at 8:80 o'clock. During the morning, an! up to 3 oVIock, he seemed to be much! better, and the attendants at her bedside were buoy ed up with hope, but soon a change took place and she ;gradu Uly siul: into the embrace of death. Mrs Royster wa-i the relict of the late James D Royster, who preceded her to the tomb just two months and two days since. At the time of her decease she was about 78 years old, and had for a long series of years, been a consistent and devoted mem ber of the First Baptist Church of this city. In (all the relations of life she was a most estimable lady, and possessed all those characteristics tending to adorn the female character She goes down to the grave amid the sorrow if a large circle of rela tives and friends. She leaves five children three boys and two girls to mourn her loss, with whom the Visi tor deeply sympathizes in their sad affliction. The funeral -will take place from the Firtt Baptist Church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Friends and acquaintances of the family invited. Heard iu one of the Dress Mak ing Establishments in the City. In a cosy and well furnished room in one of the fashionable dress mak ing establishments of Raleigh, one might have heard the following con versation on last Saturday: There had gathered eltfht or. ten ladies awaiting their turn to fit their new Easter Dress. Said Mrs. A. W., why, Mattie.what a Drettv drefss .that vmi are going io nave, wnere did you get it? I got it from Mr.- -p a Fayetteville Street, and paid enough for it 90c. per Vi.rd. Just at. that timn Mahal came into the room, saying: Ladies how does my new dress fit? All exclaimed in a breath, why Mat tie and Mabel have dresses just alike. All concluded thev warn hnth tha same. Said Mattie to Mabel: Mabel, where did you get yours and what did you pay for it? I bought mine at Swindell's Racket Store and paid 55c. a yard. Just then,Mattie swooned and wh i she came to conscio jsness, Oh sbe sa'd to think of it, Mabel bought he ' dress for 55c. a vard and T nn.irl 90c. for the sai e gooc5 . A saving of $5.25 for fifteen yai-ds. Now I don't mina tne money but I don't feel that I am smart, when anvhndv dona an much better than I do. Then the ball opened, among the dress makers said one.

I naid $ L 80 ner vard for this. All looked at it and all the dress makers began to laugh, saying, there is a dress in the. house to make just like that from Swindell's Racket oiore, cost ouc. An Experienced Bribe. Lewiston Journal. President Hyde, of Bopdoin Col lege, tells a good story of the first marriage ceremony at which he offi ciated while occupying a pulpit in Jersey City. The bigger half of the interesting couple was timid and nervous. The bride was remarkably cool and self-possessed. As the couple presented themselves before Presi dent Hyde there seemed to be some misunderstanding in regard to the side on which the lady should stand. The groom hitched about nervously. but the bride was equal to the occa sion. Quickly changing place with her bashful fiance she remarked con fidently: "There, I am sure this is the side on which I have always been ac customed to stand." ; This soJved the (Mfflculty, and the timid flrrooin and the", young widpw, who fcnew all about it from exprk?e, were j'peedily united. .. ! . . . - .
