We beg to reiniud our friends that we are not publishing a newspaper for tne purpose ot abasing those who may differ with as, or even do us a wrong. How ever jealous we -may be of our rights we never intend, if we know it, to convert oar paper and press into a machine for throwing mud at any. one who may see proper to assail them. Besides, our friends should remember the important po sitions assigned Mr. Brinson by the community.. He is a Trustee of the New Berne Academy; a County Commissioner and Magistrate for several years; has been reappointed a Justice of the Peace, and wp un derstand it is the: intention of his friends to make him chairman of the Board of County Commission ers. ; If he abuses the trust reposed la him by his, fellow citizens, they are the ones to correct him. - ' We might drop the matter right here as we are satisfied tbat public opinion almost unanimously con demns the action of Mr. Brinson in having us summoned before him for contempt of his cooa-t, but we feel that we owe it to our brethren of the press-to reassert that the reports of the proceedings in the Oaksmith suits published ' by us were substantially jsorrectr and to enter our protest against , this" un warrantable and inexcusable at tack upon our 'privileges.

So far from its being- our inten tion to bring a magistrate's court into contempt, we feel it our , duty to uphold and endeavor to preserve the dignity of bis position; but we not unfredueutly v hear remarks made publicly, and that too by men of high standing in the community, during the progress of trials before Justices, that such a lawyer "has got the facts on bis side but the other one has the magistrate.? If any Justice so conducts bis courts as to give foundation for such re marks & he constantly repeated in public, then. he is .disgracing the position he occupies and is bringing his own eoort into contempt. ; -- Now with the kindest feelings, for Mr. Brinson we drop this matter, unless be should feel aggrieved at what we hare said, and desires to make a statement to the public. In that case we tender him the use of our columns. ' We . believe - he either acted hastily or upon bad advice.

We once saved the life of an in fant which had been inadvertently dragged with laudanum, and was last sinking into tne sleep which has no awakening, by giving it strong coffee, a teaspoonful every five minutes until it ceased to seem drowsy. if a person swallow any iioison whatever, or has fallen into convul sions from having overloaded the stomach, an instantaneous remedy more efficient and applicable in a larger number of cases tbau any half dozen medicines we can now think of, is a hsapiag teaspoonful of com mon salt aau as much ground mustard, stirred rapidly iu a teacup of water, warm or cold, and so-allowed instantly. It is scarcely dowBrbsfore it begins to come up, bringing with It the remaning con- teats of toe stomaeu, and lest there be any remnant of poison, however small, let (be white of an egg, or a teacup of strong coffee, be swallowed as soon as tb stomacii is quiet; De eanse tbee very common articles nullify a larger number of virulent poisons than any medicines in the shops. A superstitiou prevails in Devon shire, England, that any one neztecting to till tne nrst outterny be may see for the season, will have ill lock through the year. i WASHIXGTOJT LETTEBr Washington, April fi. President Arthur has at length found an opportunity of breaking away from otncial cares, ana is now en route to everglades of Florida, where, free from the restraints of the Executive Mansion, lie cnu re vel in the warm sunshine, iuhale the perfnme of the Magnolia, pluck the orange from the tree, and re sign himself to all manner of pleas urable sensations in the bright land of perennial flowers. He started Thursday morning by spe cial train, accompanied by Secre tary Chandler, Mr. Miller of New York, and private Phillips. Mr. Edwards for the New York Sun, and Mr. Eddy for a combinaton of papers, also went with the party. Among those at the station to see them off were Assistant Post Mas ter General Hatton, and a number of newspaper men. The President took with him a large supply of summer clothing and hairing tackle. He seemed exceedingly cheerful in view of his (outing," and expects to remain in Florida as loug as he finds the weather enjoyable. The President' 8 selection of a new cabinet officer caused surprise here, but at the same time was re ceived with almost universal aj proval. Judge W. ,Q Gresham, of Indiana, is a man of conceded ability, great force of .character, and decidely literary tastes. He is a favorite, and might be called a portege, of Gen. Grant,haviiigbeen promoted during the war through Grant's recommendation from a colonel to a brigadier Generalship, and after General Grant became President was by him appointed U. S. District Judge for Indiana, an office which be still retains. His name has been mentioned in con nection with prominent places for years was under consideration by President Garfield for his Cabinet, and would have been chosen had the Republicans of Indiana been able to unite heartily in asking his appointment. He is now holding court in Evansvule, Ind., and can not reach this city before the mid die of next week.' - Gen. Joseph K. Barnes, retired formerly Surgeon General ot tne Army, died at his residence ou H Street Thursday morning. Gen. Barnes was one of the medical staff that attended President Garfield in his illness, and for faithful ser vice in that connection was to have been retired with the full rank of a major -ceneral. He willl be buried with imposing military honors. J or the first time in ten years the cash in the Treasury is being counted. 'There are sixty persous enraged in the work, and they will be several weeks in completing the Examination. Every thing is beine counted twice. The first time by the committee, aud again by the representatives of the Treas urer. The count so rar lias shown a deficit of five cents in a bag of silver, and an excess of six cents iu accounts of the interest teller. It is devoutly hoped the discrepancy will be explained as the work pro gresses. The first Sjar Route trial lasted fifteen weeks. The twenty-third week of the second trial has begun, and the end still apiteurs a long way off. Mr. Merrick closed his cross examination of Dorsey, Wed nesday; which marked an epoch in the history of trial. In spite of the witnesses' unconquerable aversion te tunning himself down to an ac curate recollection of anything, Mr. Merrick by a rigid and relentless cross-examination succeeded in ex tracting from him some admissions valuable to the Government in the trial. Much was developed to show that Ex -Sena tor Dorsey was the chief conspirator, that the head quarters of the combination was in his own residence 'on I street, a square from the Garfield house.and that he furnished the money from his own pocket for starting the scheme. With all his shrewdness he tripped more than once during the cross-examination. The last day he was on the stand, after persistently denying that he had kept any books at all the most positive manner be coald devise for contradicting Seidell's testimony, he momentarily forgot. himself aud charged Rerdell with having stolen a book from him. Heaw his blun der in an instant; but so did Mr. Merrick who took immediate ad vantage of it. Mr. Yaile, another of the defendants, finished his tes timony on Thursday about two o'clock, and after the manner of his co-conspirators, Swore vigorous ly to his innocence. But it is not an easy task for several men to put together a story composed of a little truth and much falshood and give it the required consisten cy under the ordeal cross-examination. Mr. Yaile was followed on the witness stand by John W. Dor sey, a brother of the Ex Carpet-Bag 8enator. Mrs. Ex-Senator Dorsey and her sister, Mrs. Peck, were present at the trial Thursday. Feeding Cattle A good guide for a sale quantity of grain per day to maturing cattle is one pound to each hundred of their weight; thus, an animal weigh ing one thousand pounds may re ceive ten pounds of grain. Iu using roots, it is one guide to gjye just so much, ' in association with other things, so that the animal may not take any water. Never check the fattening process, for as soon as an animal begius to fret for food it immediately begins to lose flesh. Deficiency of food is not less injurious to the animal's health than an excess of it, If continued for many days it leads to wasting of the body, weakness of the mus cles, great depression aud fever. Animals insufficiently nourished prove susceptible of coutagious dis orders, which they quickly contract when exposed to iniection. More over, they become more redily the victims of parasitic affections. Lice and the peculiar minute plant or fuugua to which ringworm is due are both found to flourish and prop gagate vigorausjy nndcr the influ ence of poverty and dft. A Rochester Kite. A kite was made near Roches ter, N. Y., recently, of lumber two inches wixle by half an inch in thick ness. It was covered with mauilla paper and tlue surface contained nearly 20 square feet. The string by which the kite was tiowu was of three-eigtb-ineh rope and 5,000 in length. It shot ;nto the air like a balloon, and after floating a mile high for two hours was only brought down by means of a pulley and team. A new wood, knowu as red wood, is becoming popular for interior decorations; it is not unlike mahog any in color, takes a high polish, aud is less expeusive than that wood. STATE NEWS Gleaned from onr Exchanges. Tarboro Southerner: A strange tale comes from Scotland Neck full of hor ror, if true. We give it as we heard it on the streets: A short time since Mrs. Bell died suddenly and was buried by her husband. Suspicions were aroused as to the cause of her death and parties went to the crave to exhume its remains that an examination might be had. Bell met them at the grave with a shot gun and threatened, to- shoot them if they attempted to open the grave, the crowd went off and got reinforcements, returned, took Bell's gun and dug up the corpse. The neck had been broken. Bell was arrested and lodged in the county jail. . It is said that he killed his wife because she would not signadeed. He told her to sign and upon her refusal he became so enraged that he assaulted her with the result above stated. Bell has lived in this section many years and is know as "preacher" Bell. He was formerly a member of the Primi tive Baptist Church and we believe did preach for a season, but he has long since ceased to be a member of this church from which he was expelled for his misconduct. Durham Tobacco Plant: The services at the Methodist church have been pro tracted, and Miss Painter is expected to arrive Thursday to assist in the meet ing. On the 20th of March a large bard, the property of A. J. Hester, of Person county, was destroyed by fire, together with a large quanity of forage. OnJ.he 37th of March, Daniel Paylor. Alex. Paylor and Charles Harris, all colored, were arraigned before George Rogers, Esq., charged with burning Mr. Hester's barn. They were found guilty and in default of bail for their appear ance at the next term of Person court were committed to jail, where they await the action of that tribunal. Spot Stanford, a Durham barber, has gone to Greentbsro on a little business with the Federal Government. Satur day was a week ago a young white man was caught going out of town with a box of tobacco on which there was no revenue stamp or anything else to de signate by whom it was manufactured. Upon being questioned, he gave the name of Spot Stanford, a colored bar ber, as the man from whom he pur chased. Mpot was arrested and gave bail for his appearance last Saturday. Toisuot Sunny Home: From the examination we have made and all reiKrts we can get from the far mers and others in this section, we are of the opinion that the lruit has very near all beeu killed. There have been a great deal of fertilizers sold in this place since January and the merchants and dealers continue to sell. Next fall many a bale of cotton will have to be forth-coming Mr. Augustine Farmer who we reported several weeks ago as kil ling five large wild turkeys at one shot and who was about So years old, comes to the front again, he having killed four more at one shot one day this week. Fayetville Ohserccr: The far mers in this section are A ery seri ously troubled by the lateness of season. They are badly behind in t heir farm work, and the rains came just m time to retard plowing. From the best information we can gather, there will be little if any diminution in the area planted in cotton this year as compared with this, iu Cumberland aud the adja cent conuties. Farmers claim that the low price of last season's crop has of itself rendered this necessary tbat they have been unable to pay themselves out of debt, and are forced into the extensive cultiva tion of their only money crop, with the hope that the prices will be better. On last Wednesday night, 28th ulfc., a thie'fwas very shrewdly caught on the plantation of Mr. A. B. Walker, near Little Kiver Academy. The fact that corn was being stolen had been sus pected for some little time, and on the night in question Mr. Smith, a young man in the employ of Mr. Walker, watched the crib. His vigilance was rewarded by his see ing the rogue enter the crib through a hole near the bottom, and prepare to fill his bag. Mr. Smith prompt ly covered the point of egress with the formidable prongs of a pitch fork, and gave the astounded negro to understand that the condition of affairs demanded unqualified sur render. Statesvillo Landmark; A young man of this place who keeps bachel ors hall and who is famous as a prac tical joker, invited about a dozen of bis friends to dine with him Sunday hist, April 1st. He fixed up his dishes of cotton and shavings, with their outer coverings of pastry,and freqnently,during the preparations, sat dowu and laughed. It was well he did so in advance. The wink passed around among those who had been invited, and though the dinner hour arrived they did not. At this juncture the joker's joke expired by limitation and then the other crowd laughed. Mrs. Jen nie Holland, one of the oldest per sons in the county, died at her home in Olin township last Sunday moruiug at J o'clock, aged about 91 years. Some time ago the lolks of Mr. E. W.

Coal-tar will kill potato bugs. This is worth repeating and remem bering. Coal-tar lacks many of the qualities which characterizes Paris green, the now so universal refuge, and is, therefore, just so much more valuable. The perils of hav ing such a poison as Paris green about and in daily familiar use and growing carelessness the results will be every year worse, probably, until the use of it will have to bo made a matter of restrictive legis lation. It is with almost every dangerous thing. Until we make a law regulating the use of it, man is willing to forget it has any dan gers. The chances with regard to Paris green are several. It may be flooded off, by a sudden raiu into some water supply, and thus prove deadly. It may be blown from po tato patches upon lettuce, beet tops, strawberries and other eatable things, and more than one genius engaged in agricultuie is not above the level of experiment ing with it on these things. The law of ignorance aud carelessness i playing among six million farmers must find some ignoramuses. Then too, it is possible out of millions of bushels of potatoes raised any year, for the Paris green to get iu some way by some of these upon tables, and cause fatal results. Paris green is one of the poisons known as cumultative; that is, it remains in the system until a suffi cient quantityhas accumulated to cause death. Here are the outright dangers, besides the possibility of children getting at it, that lie about the actual nse ot the stuff'. But there is another phase of the danger of Paris green just begin ning to develop itself, which has not had much attention yet. This is the oulv poison we are associ ated with ou informal terms. Paris green has become as much a part ot a farm outfit as coin mealof plas tei. It is easy to get at, and is within reach of all who incline to suicide. Two attempts one suc cessful have been made right here at Hartford, within a week, to com mit suicide with this substance, aud similar stories are reported all about. It is inevedtable. The way to stop this sort ot thing is to re member that coal-tar water will kill the bugs, while it is not an en gine of suicide. Hartford Vour ant. Swansboro Items.
