Mil 6t The outing of the legal fraternity, in the shape of a barbecue at Milbur nie last Saturday, was a great sue cess. From Bethel to Appomattox they sealed their devotion with their blood. Let us honor them to the last syllable of recorded time. The new press ordered for the State Chronicle has arrived. It is said to be the best in ail its arrangements ever brought to North Carolina. 1. prominent lawyer said today that almost every day these times was non dies. Nothing doing in the law yens' line.

The well on the eapitol square has been thoroughly cleaned out and the water 1b now about as good as any in the city. It is the earnest desire of the keeper of the eapitol that the ut most care should be taken by all who get water not to throw anything into the well. Such a course will be in strict violation of the rules governing the grounds and will not be tolerated. OUK LAMENTED DEAD. Solemn and Appropriate Ser vices and a !raje Crowd PrcHcut. The ceremonies incident to memo rial day were observed iu this city today with unusual interest. There was a large crowd in attendance, the ladies turning out in force and gracs ing the occasion with all that energy and patriotic devotion that so char acterizes the ladies of the South. The fact that it had been determined to dedicate the Soldier's Home, thereby evincing a commendable interest in the living as well as the dead heroes of the Confederacy, gave additional interest to the event, and brought to our city a considerable number of persons from the surrounding coum tiy. METROPOLITAN HALL, under the auspices of the Ladies Me morial Association, was decorated to day in a most tasteful manner. Beau tiful floral designs were arranged for the galleries and stage, presenting a scene of beauty unsurpassed at any other previous occasion of the kind. One of the most striking features is a finely executed and admirable oil painting of Gen. Ramseur, furnished by Hon. D. Schenck, of Greensboro, a brother in law of the distinguished soldier. THE EXERCISES. Promptly at 3:30 o'clock, in accord ance with the programme laid down, the solemn exercises opened with music by the choir with the accom paniment of Prof. Paul's most admi rable orchestra, after which a prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. J. W. Carter. This was followed by some beautiful and appropriate selections rendered by ladies and gentlemen of the city. Hon. Wm. R. Cox then delivered a most beautiful, touching and master ly oration on the life, character and services of the distinguished Confed erate soldier, Gen. S. D. Ramseur. The address is pronounced by those competent to judge to have been un surpassed by any similar effort of the kind, and fully established the repu tation of Gen. Cox as one of the fore most orators of our State. At the conclusion of the address, a most touching tribute in song was rendered by Misses Mamie Robins and Mamie Cowper, after which the procession formed in front of the hall and proceeded to the Soldier's Home, at the eastern extremity of New Berne avenue, which was formally dedicated by a masterly address from Gov.Thos. M. Holt. The ceremonies at the Home were of the most touching nature and participated in by a very large crowd of ladies and gentlemen. Duiing the exercises at the hall the building was filled to its utmost ca pacity with people from the city and surrounding country, all seemingly anxious to pay just tributes to the memory of North Carolina's fallen heroes. AT THE CEMETERY the usual observances ot decorating the graves took place, which, as we go to press, were still in progress. Al together the event has been in all re spects most creditable to our citizens and especially to the coble ladies of the Memorial Association. Wanted.
