Stanly to lower the valuation of his property the Court House building, now valued at $15,000. It was defeired to the regular meeting in August one of the Commis sioners remarking that the valuation was not excessive in comparison with rents received, the county alone paying 1,000 per annum rental for Court room.

Cuthbert. at the New Berne Machine Shops, has nearly completed the first corn mill ever built in New Barne. The reck is from Moore county grit, brought here in the rough, and the mill is built alter a new pattern, in vented by Mr. Cuthbert. iu which no "bush" nor "ink" is used. This is a SO inch mill built . for Mr. Herekiah Davis in upper Craven, and will be run by a 20 horse engine built al so by. Mr. Cuthbert. We take much pleasure in thus noting home manufac tures and home inventions. (Tulreralty Notes.

The Board - of ' Magistrates were ex pected to meet on Tuesday, but a quo rum not being present unairman ruin- son adjourned the meeting to the first Monday .in rebruary. At that time some very important measures will be considered. . The county bridge across Trent river will be to repair nearly re- bu ud. Many. in New Berne and James City would be glad to have a new bridge near the railroad bridge. . If they will back-up their wishes with some contri butions the Beard of Magistrates would doubtless agree to make the change. Another very important project, put on foot last year by the Commercial News, is the erection of a bridge across the Neuse. This will probably be brought before the February meeting. So it is important that every Justice in the county should attend. River Improvements. General Ransom went up to Trenton on Tuesday to inspect Trent river from Quaker Bridge to Trenton, to designate points to be dredged. - He is negotiating for a dredge boat, and as soon as it can be had the dredging will commence, shoals will be removed and a basin will be excavated at Trenton for a harbor. The work on Contentnea will be pushed vigorously after January 1st and in two months it is thought Snow Hill will be reached. A portion of the appropriation will be reserved for im proving the mouth of the creek. On the Neuse the work is progressing satisfactorily. The jetties below Kins ton are proving successful, and it is thought steamboat navigation to Kins ton will not be discontinued at all next Slimmer. General Rin-tom thinks it will be as easy to make good navigation between White iiiil and bmithheld as from Kinston to White Hall and that both these objects will be attained when his work is completed. Charges on Cottou. The Charleston News and Courier pub lished in a recent issue a comparison of charges on handling cotton in the cities of New York, Norfolk, Charleston and Savannah -which is of interest. Wil mington is "not mentioned and perhaps for excellent reasons, in iNew York, according to the A'eit-s and Courier, the expenses attending the sale of a bale of cotton, exclusive of the commissions, amount to 80 cents a bale, in Norfolk to 92r cents, in Savannah to 75 cents and in Charleston to 67 cei ts. Wilmington having been omitted by the jVetrs and Courier we supply the omission. It costs just fifty cents a bale to sell cotton here, which is 17 cents less tnan in Charleston. 25 cents less than in Savan nah, 30 cent less tuan in New York, and 43i cents, or 85 per cent, cheaper than in Norfolk. These figures are Btartling, but they are correct. It is for the pro ducer to carry them out and apply the difference to his entire crop, and see how much more money he can put into his pocket by sending his cotton to Wil mington to be sold. U'il: Revieir. New Year's Lnfk. It is a popular saying that New Year's day is an index to the luck to be ex perienced during the coming year. If so the Hackburn Bros, must keep a sharp watch out for tires, since their store was. burned just after mid night. The Atlantic Fire Company must look to their laurels as the Ni'ir Kerne got on the first stream at the fire. Esq. W. G. Brinson passed a large part of the day in Craven street jail trying prisoners, however. Capt. John Richardson started the year with the good luck of having two of his debtors to come and see him who promised to pay him soon. Mayor Howard's first letter iu the morning was a notice that he was ex iccieil to pay some security money. The Joi'KN ALoltice mail di.M-losed a check from Boston on "Time Savings Bank." sent by Prof. D. B. Joluinon, ili recting to pay to bearer three hundred and sixty-live happy days for iw.i. Arrested tot Jail Breakrtaa;. : On Thursday night A bram Bryan, ooL, former jailor, and Wm. Fisher, the cook for the prisoners in the jail, were before Esq. Br in son upon the charge of essisting the prisoners to escape from the jail on Sunday night last. Upon the evidence of Rowland riilcher and Nathan Henderson, both colored and who were among the number that es caned, and John Suggs, a prisoner who did not escape, they were held to bail in the sum of 1,000 each for their appear ance at the next term of the superior Court, in default of which they were remanded to jail. On Fridav Nathan Hill, brother of Ben Hill, was arrested for assisting in the escape, and committed to jail for a preliminary hearing before Justice Brin- son on Monday. Water-Packed Cottow. The Jodbn'aL has noted, several times this fall, instances of water-packed cot ton brought to this market for sale. We learn now that there is another lot of it on the cotton yard from Jones county and it is so heavily watered no doubt can be had about the intent of the packer. We wish to say now that the Cotton Exchange of New Berne is in great measure responsible for the continuance of water-packed cotton in this market. With several well defined cases of such fraud reported to us, we have yet to hear of a single prosecution at law. Any person who endeavors thus to ob tain mony under false pretenses ought to go to the penitentiary, for by his act he throws suspicion and odium on good farmers who would scorn such decep tion. And when the Cotton Exchange sees fit to prosecute those who try thus to defraud its members, then it will put itself right before the public, and not before River Pilot. General Ransom returned on Wednes day night from his inspection of Trent river. He made the trip from Trenton on the Cutler, entirely by night, and thus demonstrated the comparatively good condition of the channel at this time. If the trip, down stream, can be safely made on a dark night, it is pret ty fair evidence of the great improve ment already made on Trent river. General Ransom compliments Cat. Ike Brown, the pilot, on his handling of the boat, lie made the trip without a a single strike against the bank and scarcely a jar. The young man is a chip of the old block. His father, Capt. Ed. Brown, was, by great odds, the ablest pilot ever on Neuse river. On the Johnson and other steamers before the war he gained an enviable reputa tion; and the Caswell, in 1872. old tub as it was, was handled by him with great ability. He was a splendid pi lot. . The Fire On Monday morning at half after one o'clock a fire broke out in Mr. Eugene Tucker's bar room at Five Points, set by some incendiary, and quickly spread on each side, consuming entirely the build ing of the Hackburn Bros, and burning Mrs.' Husseys house to a shell. ...The fire was three quarters of a mile from the Engine houses, but in just seven minutes from the tap of the fire bell the New Berne was on hand and driving a Btream of water. The Atlant ic came in abont five minutes later, and in a short while the fire was under con trol. The blackened studding in Mrs. Hussey's house, with two thirds of the house burned up, is a tribute to the ef ficiency of these Fire companies. Mrs. Hussey's house was Insured for 81.000; none on the Tucker house, be longing to Rev. E. M. Forbes. The store of Hackburn Bros, carried 81.000 $750 on bouse, $200 on shelving and counters and 950 on furniture up-stairs. On goods they carried 3,000, and their stock amounted to just$6,000 an inven tory being taken last Thursday.' Many of the goods were saved although in a damaged condition, and in their present condition no jnst estimate can be made of loss. XourName In Print.

A rumor has gained credence on the streets to the effect that the Wilming ton & Weldon R. R. Company have made arrangements for the lease or pur chase of the Atlantic & North Carolina R. R. with the view of continuing the construction of the road on from Smith field to Florence, or perhaps some point on the W., C. & A. R. R., this side of Florence. On applying for informs tion relative to this matter, to Capt. Di vine, we were informed by him that he, too, had heard the rumor, and that it was incorrect; that no such arrangement had been made by the W. & W. R. R. for the purchase or lease of the A. & N. C. R. R. WU. Review. We think it behooves the parties, who were instrumental in declaring the Mid land lease forfeited, to hunt up a lessee somewhere who will pay at least $40, 000 per annum for the road. When the next Annual Report of the President is made if the item of "fifteen thousand dollars paid on Principal of Judgment in U. S. Court at Raleigh" does not ap pear, the Atlantic road will have been the victim of a terrible blunder. It will not do to say Gen. Lewis' re port necessitated the declaration of a forfeiture; for if every word of his re port were true there was a remedy and the bonds were in the Bank to cover just such a case. Prisoner Escaped. On Sunday night between one and two o'clock five prisoners escaped from the jail in this city by punching a hole through the wall, the work being done principally from the outside. The fol lowing is a list of the escapes: Rowland Fulcher, white, serving out a twelve month's term for larceny. He had only about one month longer to re main. Nathan Henderson, col., indict ed at last term of court for perjury and held in default of bail; Ben Hill, col., held for murder; Chauncey Respass, col., sentenced at last term of court to two years imprisonment for an assault with deadly weayon; David C. Davis, white, convicted at last term of the dis trict court of the U. S. for Illicit Dis tilling and sentenced to four month's imprisonment. He had served out about half of his term, Hill was the only prisoner of the five that was locked up in a ceil; the others were allowed the privileges of the room outside of the cells. Hill forced his way through the top of thn cell, which is covered with heavy sheet iron, by breaking or unscrewing the bolts which fastened the cover to the wall. In this he evidently was aided by outsiders or he had the use. of tools furnished him by some one. The jailor whose room is inside the jail, says he knew nothing of the at tempt to escape until called by a girl in a room adjoining his. She called him in answer to calls from John Suggs, who was in the cell next to Ben mil and first ! informed the jailor that the prisoners I were gone. Suggs says the work began I ou the walls about 9 o'clock Sunday ' night, but he didn't know what it ' meant until Hill got out of his cell and ! asked him to come and go with him. New Berne's Commerce. . - Resolutions adopted by the Board of Trade of the city of New Berne on TlniHilov rw. aSr.h. 1882. Whereas, the. commerce of New Berne with the inland country sur rounding is rapidly increasing, her mer chants having put on, during the past year, six river steamers, the Trent, Cut ler Kinston, Snow Hill, Florence and Elm City, which run to various points on the Neuse and Trent rivers. And Whereas, postal facilities between New Berne and the country surrounding are very inferior. Now, therefore, the Board of Trade for the city of New Berne respectfully petition the Post-office Department to es tablish the following new routes: 1. A semi-weekly mail between New Berne and Adam's Creek, and the es tablishment of a postofflce at Adam 'a Creek said route to be carried by steamer. 2. A semi-weekly mall by steamer be tween New Berne and Vanceboro in Craven county and Jolly Old Field on Contentnea Creek in Pitt county a new post office to be established at the latter place. 8. A daily mail by horses between New Berne and Washington Town or Country. In his sermon on Sunday Dr. Burk- head, while incidentally referring to the influences surrounding the young. expressed his thanks that he was reared in the country. While it is a sad fact that young men in a city are more liable to acquire bad habits than their country cousins, it is a very pertinent question to ask: Whose fault is it 'i Not the fault of the boy for God has given him health, youth and exuber-. anoe of spirits that demand an outlet, andin the country this outlet can be had in hunting or fishing or even in roaming through woods or over neias. -And in the city his nature is un changed, and if no place of amusement is provided he makes one roi himself. The bad habits of the boy in a majority of cases, then, can be charged upon the parents and upon the leaders of moral thought. The Church is ever making a brave fight to save wicked men. While that is right, it is not a bad idea to try to keep the boys of' the family from barm; and to do this good common sense must be used, and human nature be taken as it is and not as one might like to have it. Where is there a place in New Berne for regular social recreation, apart from evil influences 't Railroad Goaaip. The present value of a share is about nine dollars, so that the State's stock (12,666 shares) is worth about $113,991, but there is hanging over this a mortgage-bond debt of 9164,666. This debt is a judrnent of the Federal court, and there is -no escape from its payment. It will be seen therefore that the State's stock is worth much less than the judg ment against it, ChathAm Record. The statement above was made in the Journal some days ago by a corre spondent, endeavoring to bull the Mid land view of getting the State's interest in the Atlantic road; but the fallacy contained in the statement was so ap parent that we did not take the trouble to notice it. But now it seems that brother London of the Record has been misled by the statement. And he is a lawyer too, and a very elever and sen sible one ; and yet admits that the State 's stock is worth less than nothing. If he, or any one else, will think for a moment, it will be seen that the market value of the stock in the A, &M.C.K. K. is nine dollars a share, subject to that very mortgage debt of $164,666. But for that debt it is very , probable this stock would be worth sso cents on the dollar; and it ought to be borne in mind that with a rental of $40,000 per annum this debt could be paid in twelve years. And another point ought not to be for gotten until the Midland lease was declared forfeited on November 10th. A. & N. C. R. R. stock was worth thir teen dollars a share in the Raleigh market. The parties who took the re sponsibility of that day's work may have terrible cause to regret it in the future. Kail Facilities. The resolutions adopted by the Board of Trade of this city at their regular meeting are very important. We print them in another column, and a copy will be sent to our Representative and to the Post-office Department. The Board or Trade recognizes the fact that trade is largely dependent on good mail facilities. The farmer who gets his newspaper regularly with cor rect market quotations is naturally in clined to go to that market to sell his produce. If his newspaper is a week old when it comes to him, he places very little confidence in the quotations. The policy outlined in these resolu tions of the Board of Trade is a good one. Take the lower4 Neuse route and a number of new post-offices, beside the one at Adam's Creek, would spring up it a mail route could oe naa oy steamer. And the upper Neuse route is equally as important. From .'oily Old Field a number of offices near by could be sup plied. We send a large number of Weekly Journals to Johnson's Mills, Maple Cypress and other points in that up country not more than SO or 40 miles from New Berne, that, under present mail routes, have to go from 150 to 200 miles to reach their destination, and oc cupy several days in the transit. The daily route to. Washington is so obvious a necessity that it commends itself at once to every one. There have been sent up number of petitions for it from both New Berne and Washington, and the Post-office Department can do no more worthy act than will be ac complished by re-establishing this daily mail. We know that our Congressman, Hon. O. Hubbs, will take great pleasure in aiding the Board of Trade in getting their wishes responded to, and we hope, ere long to chronicle these changes hich will help the city and country alike. New Advertisements. The Journal, Daily and Weekly, presents a number of new advertise ments this week. We get some patrons this week who give in their -'ads" with some little doubt, ihey hardly know whether it will pay or not to advertise through the dull season. Now will not our readers in the country do us a favor? When you buy from these advertisers. tell them occasionally about seeing their 'ads ' in the Journal, it will show them that their money is well expended, and encourage them to extend and en large their trade. There are so many of these new ad vertisers that we have not room to notice all separately. Mr. Bossser, the furniture man, returns to us after a short absence; Mr. Suter, on Middle street, gives a modest "ad," but his stock is far larger and better than the size of his advertisement would indicate; Asa Jones, who was an old patron of the Kinston JouRNAL.Jgivesanattractive "ad," and we wish him a prosperous New Year; J. L. McDaniel, on Broad street, is a JonesJ county lad, and his friends from that county, especially, are invited to visit him; B. B. Lane is the only fish advertiser with us and we commend him to Kinston, La Grange and Goldsboro dealers who are among our subscribers; Mr. A. H. tPotter re news his Christmas "ad," and offers candies and oeher sweets throughout the year; P. M. Draney is a new Hard ware man on South Front street, and is well deserving of patronage; Howard & Jones, the new merchants on Pollok street, who had a splended rush of trade through ths fall, come in with a smaller advertisement, but yet a very fair one. by the year; and last but not least "I'll Do It invites the public to his old stand on the market wharf. Among our Kinston "ads" Stanly & Kennedy call attention to the Cox Planter, pronounced by Geo. Allen & Co., of this place, to be the beat in use ; John Hartsfield, and Oettinger Bros. , old advertisers, come in for the New Year; Henry Archbell, the in domitable candy manufacturer and wholesale manufacturer of cakes, crack ers, etc., pays his 8500 State's license for a drummer, and is rapidly supplying a large part of Eastern Carolina; Dr. II. D. Harper, of Kinston. gives his dental card, and from personal knowledge of his work done years ago, we can cheer fully recommend him. If our readers want good dental work a trip to KinBton will Day and can be pleasantly enjoyed I among the hospitable citizens. Stonewall Items. ' Dr. W. T. Kennedy has bought him a nice farm near Stonewall. -- Mr. Alex. Woolard has his hand . bad ly mutilated in a cotton giu on Tuesday. Jas. M-Liine, with Roberts & Bros, of your city, is home visiting his relatives and old friends. Mr. T. C. Hadiier has returned from a visit to Mary lam t where he went to see his old friends and relatives. Prof. A. H. Hamlin, Madam Rumor says, left for t.oldsboro Wednesday morning to take unto himself a help meet. Messrs. Potter & Fowler and Hadder & Hooker have on hand and for sale some as fine horses as are found in any mamet. Miss Tursa Jone.. died on Wednesday morning at 8 o VIo- k at the residence of Mr. Jas. Jones, on Spring Creek, of pneumonia. - Mr. Jno. H. Delaiuar died last Tim rs day night at the residence of Mr. G. W, Daniels. His health has been very poor ior Beveral months. Mr. Jno. W. Watson, one of our best citizens, is very .-n k at his home ou Goose Creek inlaiia; his friends have despared of his recovery. Mr. Solomon "Harris and MLss Mary Rice were married a few days since at the residence of Mr. Joab Rice, tho father of the bride. Mrs. Florence Whorton, wife of Mr. George Whorton, died ut the residence of her father-iu law. Dr. W. A. Lind say, on the 29th ult., of pneumonia. Christmas has passed and all seemed to enjoy it pretty well, especially the little ones. I have heard of only two tights no damage done in either. Mr. A. H. Hamlin drove in this place on last Friday, accompanied by his bride, Miss Carrie Thompson of Golds boro. So you see Madam Rumor is sometimes correct. At the residence of the bride's father Mr. Nathan Cuhoon, on last Thursday . i i i . . . - evening, air. rraiiK Liewis and Miss Mary Ann Cahoon were married, Rev L. D. Broughtou officiating. rom some misunderstanding between Air. rhos. Gooding and Mr. Thos. Mc Cleose on last Thursday, near Pamlico, the former took three or four shots at the latter as he was leaving his prem ises. No damage done. Mrs. F. F. Cherry and Miss Mary Cherry had an accident on last Friday whereby Mr. Cherry's buggy was badly smashed. No serious damage to the ladies. Miss Cherry, in driving through the gate, let the wheel come in contact with it which caused the result. Mr. Geo. H. Russel and Mr. Charles Warren, Attorneys at Law of Washing nto, paid our villege a short visit last ewek on legal business, and the gentle amn Bear rentier of the same town was also with us at the same time with some fine stock, putting up some good trades. Mr. W. Hooker and Miss Amanda Miller were married last Thursday night at the residence of Sheriff D. B. Hooker, Jas. O. Baxter, Esq., officiat ing. Mr. Benj. Martin and Miss Ellen Caton were married last Sunday even ing at trie residence of Mr. Jesse H. Daw, in Bayboro, Festus Miller. Esa.. officiating. The installation of the officers of the Mt. Vernon Masonic Lodge in this place caused a lively time here on Wednes day, all sections of the county being represented by a pretty good crowd. Our townsman, the Hon. W. T. Caho, being installed Master. It conferred i upon him as well as other honors, the, one of a treat to the members of the Lodge, of a dinner and other refresh-' ments. Eichlands and Catharine Lake Items. Sheriff Murrill is building an elegant residence at Alum Spring, the fountain of health of Onslow. The Disciples expect to begin work on a church soon. The more churches the more religion, we hope. The Misses Sandlin, Barry. Cox. Koonce, and Murrill are spending Christmas at home and the boys' hearts are made glad. Richlands has been a busy place for several days; it is increasing in the gen eral trade: steed and Mills are getting their share. The more stores the more trade. Mr. Frank Taylor and Miss Mamie Taylor of Lenoir are visiting Col. Tay lor's family at Catharine Lake. We hope them a good time ; the more the merrier. A colored man. Koonce, of Gum Branch took on too much, Christmas day, and reports say, split his wife's head almost open. Can't tell what will be the result. Mr. H. D. Murrill has returned to his native county and settled at Catharine Lake. He says it pays to travel. He has seen wonders in the great West but there s noplace like home." Mr. George Murrill and Miss Alpbin were married last Wednesday the 20th, at the home of the bride's pa rents, near Richlands. It rained and stormed, but it is always fine weather to get married. This part of Onslow is improving. We are not raising snakes and alligators, and shall not be able to report any equal to Swansboro; but we make plenty cot ton corn, turpentine, etc., and enioy good health without so many snakes and frogs. Another marriage Sunday, just over in Duplin air. untie Andrews and Miss Sewel, daughter of Dr. Sewel, near Bony s. A grand infair at Miei groom s father 'e Christmas night. That's right; have a good time weddings don't come every day except just now. Miss Hattie Ford ham, from Jones, who can entertain one or more without trying very hard, is making times more lively by spending Christmas at Mr. W. B. Cox's; for yung ladies are scarce around Catharine Lake "most !1 mar ried or wineto be right away. " The students are doing well on the Woodard monument. It will be the highest tribute to the cause of educa tion ever paid in Onslow county, an or nament to Richlands and a lasting means of embalming the memory of the first Superintendent of Public In struction. Two of our young men called on some ladies. The one who did the driv ing became very much smitten. He told his partner he was going to have some Christmas while it was going. He continued to stay, and the other was forced to return home on foot. We for bear to mention names, and only add, young men take warning. Jones County Items. Dr. Jones of Greene, Senator F. B. Loftinand D. E. Perry of Kinston were in town last Monday. Dr. Scarborough, who has been ab sent several days during the Christmas holidays, returned to Trenton yester day. Capt. E. R. Page, the popular and in telligent member of the Legislature from this county, left for Raleigh a few days ago. There were more people in Trenton Monday than I have seen in some time. The sale of some valuable land brought a good many. We regret to learn that Mr. Julian Bender, one of the favorites of Trenton and community, especially with the la dies, has left Trenton. Mr. Chas. H. Foy and Jas. Heritage formerly of the firm ot Heritage ot Haywood, two clever and enterprising young men, have formed a partner ship. Thejr doubtless will succceed as both are very active and steady, and be sides have considerable business tal ent. Mr. Pearsall, the County Superintend ent, wishes it stated that lie will exam ine applicants for teachers' certificates the next public examination days, the 11th, 12th and 13th of Jan., and requests all those who expect to teach in the county this winter and spring to be present on one of the days mentioned. The school in Trenton will begin next Monday under the management of Miss Lila Moore, a young lady from Duplin. Miss Moore is thoroughly educated, be ing highly accomplished in the lan guages, mathematics, music, and the tine arts, and also possesses all the re quirements for a good taacher. We of the town and community should con gratulate ourselves on securing the ser vices of such an accomplished teacher. Swansboro Items . Some snow this week and plenty of ram. - fish are very scarce now, so are oysters, owing to bad weather. - Mr. Frazzell commenced his school on Monday the 1st of January, 1883, after week s vacation. He has about 4i scholars. Duck and geese are scarce, but W. E, Mattocks, the crack shot of Onslow county, gets a mess once in a while. He killed 13 fishing ducks yesterday, on tne wing, single snots, and never missed a shot. We hod a splendid time at the Christ mas tree; a large crewd and the tree, a large holly, was filled to overflowing witn costly presents, among them were nne dresses, shoes, hats, clothing, etc. lor the grown folks, and fancy dolls sweet meats, etc., for the young folks, Mr. Pittman got a fine present in the shape of a large head of collards and a box of Tutt'apills., he being a lover of those kind of fruits, and Capt- Joe, Moore received a bottle of castor oil, he being in favor of not keeping everything on one s scomacn too long at a time. ihere were about about $75 worth of presents on the tree.

C. sends to Col. L. L. Polk, a bunch of oats, with 139 stalks, 4 feet 6 inches high, yielding 8,840 grains all the pro duct of one single grain. If the pro duct of this one grain were sown for 9 years successively, it would yield more oattthan is now produced throughout the world.
