Accident.
This morning about 11 o'clock a vi-
cious cow got loose from a drove and
made a fearful plunge down Fayette
ville street. At the corner of Fayette
ville and Martin streets she made for
a crowd of gentlemen on the sidewalk
causing a considerable panic. Dr R
B. Ellis, in the effort to escape lrom
the infuriated animal, attempted ti
descend the steps leading to the base
ment of Lee, Johnson & Co's drug
store, and in to doing missed his foot
ing and fell. He was badly hurt on
his left side near the ribs causing
much pain. He managed, however,
to get home and at last accounts was
doing well. Query. Should not such
animals beJopt pff pf .our main thor
oughfares as much as possible ?
Memorial Day
We have heard it suggested, and we
think with much propriety and force,
that the observances incident to the
10th of May, be postponed from Sat
urday next to Monday the 12th. The
reasons why, in our opinion, this
change is desirable, arises from the
fact that Saturday afternoon is the
busiest of any time during the week,
and if the ceremonies shpuld take
place then, it would fall far short of
what should be expected in the num
ber of persons present. Besides this,
the merchants of Raleigh, generally
would e unwilling to close their pla
ces of business at the time designated.
We find that the change suggested
meets with the universal sentiment
of the business community here, and
many of the farmers of the vicinity
with whom we have conversed enter
tain the same views. v
We hope those having the mat
ter of arrangements in hand, will
consider the suggestion in all its
bearings. We are confident that the
change is not only desirable, but most
important to a proper observance of
the day.
Fine Portraits.
Our friend, Mr John W Brown, un
dertaker and funeral director of this
city, has received two pictures repre
senting a cluster of photographic
likenesses of leading funeral direct
ors in different parts of the country.
In all there are four hundred and
ninety eight photographs, and they
are as fine looking body of men as can
be found anywhere. Among the
number are only five from North
Carolina. There are, our fellow citi
zen, John W Brown, Robt J Parker,
High Point; Henry E Sheetz, Fay
etteville; Frank H Vogler, Salem.and
John M Harvey, Charlotte. The pic
tures (or clusters) are three by four
feet, and make a very valuable ad 3i
tiontothe already very pretty and
Bome'what extensive selection Mr
Brown already has on hand. In faot,
his portrait gallery is one of the in
teresting features of 'Raleigh, com
prising, as it does, some of our most
prominent citizens of bygone days.
Complimentary.
The Gazette, of this city, of which
