Terrell, who lives near the Wake and Durham line, was drowned in Freeman's pond one day last week while in bathing and trying to learn to swim The young man was nearly grown.

The ' Durham Sun says: A white buzzard we never , saw before, but yesterday morning one Was seen fly ing with a flock of black ones over the western part of the city.1 The colored people in that vicinity claim it as a bad sign, and say something bad is gwine ter happen. Whether the buzzards thought it was an ene my, or else they didn't believe in-social equality, we are unable to say, but they would,keep darting at it as if intent to kill or drive it away. The last Been of it it was making a ; straight shoot in the direction of South Carolina where we suppose it jnlgtoUjL from," ' A Kind Invitation. The Durham Sun of yesterday says; Mr. S. B. Norris, of Raleigh, spent yesterday in the city visiting i he fam ily of Rev. J. N. Bcoth. We learn that this is his first visit Co Durham and he was somewhat surprised to find we had such a town. ' Well, the Sun would like to welcome more Raleighites to Durham. If they would come up to see ns oftener they would come better acquainted, Come up, gentlemen, as often as you like. Wake Curiosities. CapL J. A. Wiggins, of Flint, Wake county, has a curiosity in the shape of a double cucumber, and, yet one side seems not to be a cucumber, but more on the order of a tomato. It resembles a scoop shdvel somewhat Capt. Wiggins is also experimenting with water melons and pumpkins and has a very fine onss between the two. The result is that the melons are larger and the pumpkins are sweeter. The Census. A few days ago we stated that a gentleman who had given the matter some thought and spent some time in looking into the same that the popu lation of the city of Raleigh was 9369 We did not give it as official, by any means, but still hold to the figures until the official repor's are given. We give below the census of 1870 and on up to date : United States census. 1870, was 7,790. Shaffer's school census, 1876, about 9,000. ' United States census, 1880, was 9,265. Richard's city directory census,1883, was 13.104. ' V i Observer Printing Co"s directory census, 1888, was 13,050. The Eleutric Lights. Th re have been many complaints r contly concerning the electric lights, especially in .the eastern part of the city. These complaints have been, to a great extent, just, but we have the bes$ reason to, know that "every effort has been, and, still is being made, to remedy the evil . We have the authority of Mr. Colin M. Haw kins, President of the company, for the statement that one of the main engines of t he company has been out of repair six or eight weeks and he is making all the exertions possible to have it fixed. He is aware that the system as at present operated is not what it should be, and hopes soon to have matters in proper shape. Mr. Haw kins is most energetic in the dis charge of his official duties, and the public can rest assured that all " the efforts possible will be put forth to remedy complaints. More Railroad Talk. Next to politics, the question of the extension of the Albemarle an J Ral- . - x - eigh Railroad seems to be the most important topic with our people. In deed it must be conceded that it should take precedent, on account of the vast interests at stake." The sit nation of affairs is so peculiar that people are somewhat puzzled to un derstand it. They don't exactly see how it is that a railroad should be started with a "whoop," and sudden ly almost without any apparent rea son it is stopped shore at a country wayside and no effort whatever is be ing made to move it forward. Every body must admit, that, 'as it is, the road is a deal loss. There is nothing at Springhope or in the immediate vicinity to give the least encourage ment to it as a paying enterprise. It has stopped short, and- remained so for many years. ' Now there is scVne reason for this and it must be a weighty one too. Some corns have been trodden upon and a restriction salve has been' ap plied in some quarter, .Where and from whom r-does the opposition spring and what are the causes that inspire Itf ' V This if no light question (or the people of Rale'gh. It is one of the most momentous character. We are on the eve, we are told of another little boom. The cotton crop is pro nounced to be the best for years, and here re have a proposed line for its removal to market, cut off. Who is responsible for it? We most sincerely hope Our business men will not allow this matter to slumber. Something should be done in the premises, and done quick, else we will deeply regret it. Even as we writd mutterings are heard that Raleigh is falling be hind, and that ' what we thought would turn out a "bonanza" in the way of a census boom has signally failed. We surely need awakening from what appears to be a deep slum ber. Let there be a meeting of citizeus to talk about it. The press can do but little without popular aid. Let them have it. Boys Circus. ' The juvenile circus in aid of the Soldiers Home will show at Morson and Densons school yard, Wednesday and Thursday nights. Notice. We are requested to urge t he mem bers of Manteo Lodge J o. 3, 1. 0. O. F to be at their lodge meeting to-night promptly at 8 o'clock. Business of vital importance to the lodge and for the good of the Order will be brought to the attention of the members. The Oxford Orphan Asylum. The gentlemen composing the Board of Directors of the above named institution.the names of whom we have recently published, have a most delicate and sacred charge de vol ving upon them in the selection of a superintendent in place of Rev. Dr. Dixon, recently resigned, While the VisiTdil "lias no special person to' champion, it feels, Vthat a great deal will depend upon the selection made. He should be a broad minded Christian gentleman and possessed of such business qualifications as will enable . him to render needed assis tance to the institution. The Asylum is sadly in need of pecuniary aid and an active, energetic appeal in its be half should be made. It' can there fore be readily seen that the new of ficial should possess something like a combination of qualifications adding to a fitness for the office of guarding over the helpless orphans, that of superior tact in business matters. We hope, and believe that the' greatest care and discretion will be exercised by the board iu.the selection Personal Mention. f ' Miss Roseana Sledge, of Hender Bonville, who has been spending some time in the -city-' with Miss Florence Creech, has returned home. .Congressman Bunn is in the city shaking haDds with his friends.
