Outrageous Attack.
Last night as Mrs Dr King and Mrs
Chapel were returning from the
Baptist Tabernacle Church to their
homes, on East Hargett Street, they
were attacked near thecorner of Swain
Street by a villainous negro man, who
attempted to trip Mrs King and
seized her by her dress. The lady
gave an alarm, when Mr Z T Brough
ton ai.d Mr Jno Wiggs, who were
some little distance behind.ran to her
assitatice. The negro fled, running up
Swain Street. Messrs Broughton and
W if.gs . pursued . him to . Oakwood

lost sight of. We sincerely hope he
may yet be caught and punished to
the full extent of the law.

Death of Mrs. G. P. Bostick.
Uriel mention was made in our
Saturday's issue of the death of this
most estimable lady, The following
particulars are taken from the Dur
ham Sun of the 21st ins' :
The sad intelligence of the death of
this estimible lady, wife of Rev G P
Bostick, who is a missionary to China,
reached Durham tins morning in a
letter from Mr Bostick to Mrs J M
Whitted. She died at Chefoo, Thurs
day May 8th, at noon with a malig
nant case of small pox. Mr Bostick
was at Shanghi, five hundred miles-
away. The telegram to him that his
wife was ill had to be sent 56 miles by
a footman. Mr Bostick rode this dis
tance horseback stopping Ion:
enough for the horse to eat. He was
on the way back three days and
ate but two eggs during that time,
When he reached Chefoo he found
his beloved wife was dead and buried
and he was denied the privilege of
being with her in her last hours. Mrs
Crawford, a missionary, where they
were boarding, ministered to the
wants of Mrs Bostick and attended
her with all the care of a mother,
Mrs Bostick leaves one little girl who
was in Shanghi, on the 23d of May, in
the hands of friends, who will bring
her to America.
Mr Bostick writes with a bleeding
heart, yet true Christian resignation
to the Divine will.
Mr and Mrs Bostick's friends in
Durham, and they are many, will
read this sad news with heartfelt sym
pathy. Mrs Bostick was greatly be
loved here and will be remembered as
one possessing a lovely christian
character. The prayers of this people
will ascend for the afflicted husband
A Most Important Industry,
This morning early, before "Old
Sol" had spread his burning rays over
the land, to a scorching degree, we
wended our way to the tanning es
tablishment of Messrs W F & J M
Wyatt, conveniently and pleasantly
located on the west side of the Ral
eigh and Gaston Railroad one mile
north of the depot. The tannery is
situated in an enclosure of one acre,
under a splendid picket fence, and
the plant occapies in all seven and
one third acres on the west side of
the railroad eitending from the road
to Pigeon House branch, known fa
miliarity as ilrs Mordecai's spring
branch. There is a dam at the tan
yard house about two hundred and
fifty yards long, and the pond will
be about six feet deep. It will also
be Ubed as a fish pond, as the water is
clear and well adopted for the pur
pose. A lot of beautiful small shade
trees have been left which renders
the place a delightful retreat. The
tannery is 25x50 feet; three stories
high with all modern improvements
added as they go forward in the bus-
iness. They will commence with a
capacity of twenty vats, which will
be added to as the business may de
mand. The earnings of the plant
will be kept at the place, which is
most commendable. A beautiful cot- them of this unprecedented oppor
tage j ust west of the railroad, with , tunity which is now being offered free
four rooms will be the residence of of charge. No admittanna fan. hnf
; Mr T W Childress who is the tanner,
He is a gentleman of experience and
the strictest business habits There
Is also on the premises a large barn
with comfortable stall where stock
can be housed and cared for in the
beet style. The capacity of the plant '
will be about 50,000 pounds of hides (
per year, making about 25,000 pounds ;
of leather. Operations will com-
mence by August 1st, and perhaps
sooner as everything will be push
ed to completion at the earliest prac
ticable time. Every convenience
will be furnished for the active and
earnest prosecution of the business.
Already a splendid water ram has
been placed in position, which will
convey the water through the build
ing. Mr Childress has had an expe
rience of ten years in the business
and is a' native of Virginia, lie
worked with Messrs Wetmore &
Co until April 1st, last, finishing up
leather for their shoe manufactory.
Messrs W F & J M Wyatt are to be
congratulated on the display of ener
gy they are putting forth, and we,
in common with the people of Raleigh
generally wish them the most abun
dant success. Such activity and push
deserve the highest praise and we
hope their efforts will be followed by
others.
