We are delighted to see thai the proposal for a trades procession in connection with the coming State fair, is meeting the most cordial ap probation of our business men and artisans generally, and that arrange ments are already on foot which will promise complete success. It is all the more gratifying from the fact that the movement has been inaugu rated in time, so that the most active and earnest preparations can be made. There is no feature of our annual exhibitions of more interest than the procession exhibiting our different bpecimens of the mechanic arts. Al though last year the matter was rot agitated until a week or so before the exhibitions et the turnout was a most excellent one. This year, we can do even better if the proper ex ertions are mada, and we are sure they will be. It is very important to know who will participate and hence those who are willing to enter into the matter should lose no time in re porting. Let us show to the people of the State what Raleigh can do. when her people are properly aroused. Personal Mention.

Mtny readers may remember the exciting controversy which arose, in 1845, between the government of the United States and Great Britain, con cerning the boundary line between Oregon and the British territory. 1 his country claimed up 54 40 north latitude, while Eogland would draw the line at 42. The cry of the hot headed ones at Washington was: "Fifty four forty, or fight !" Wise counsels' however, at length prevail ed. The British government, in 1846. proposed the parallel of iD, which was finally accepted. While the controversy was yet warm, the British minister, Mr. Packenham, was one day walking up to the capitol, and not far behind him was a member of Congress from the West, who, though a gentleman ana a most genial companion, was one of the bellicose members. With him it was "fifty four forty, or fight !" and nothing else. ftWhen near the capitol, a drunken man interrupted the minister, and accosted him: "Say, old fellow, you are that Brit ish Packenham, ain't you? Yes Know you ne. jnow iook. nere, my old stump, just you bear in mind that you don't get one inch of territory below fifty four forty. It's fight every time beyond that !" The Western Cor gresman came up, and nod led pleasantly to the minis ter. "You will excuse that man," he said. ' He is drunk." "Certainly," returned Mr. Packen ham, also pleasantly nodding. "No sober man would make such a declara tion as that." Selected. A Bird in Hand is Worth two in in the Bush.

They Thought it was a Skunk In Talmase township, six miles from Akron, Ohio, a farmer's children playing in a barn observed a pile of hay moving. They called a farm hand to kill a supposed skunk under the bay. The hired mah thrust the pitchfork into the hay and impaled a negro. One of the tines entered the negro's eye and reached the brain with fatal effect. The negro was identified as John Williams, well known to the police of all large cities as one of the most dangerous crimin als in the country. Williams had killed two men, and had served three terms in the Ohio penitentiary, from which he recently escaped, after serv ing over fifteen years. Upon him were found a loaded revolver, burg' lar's " tools and valuables recently stolen from residences in the neigh borhood. Our New Department.
