The first session of our Graded School will soon close, and every man or woman who has visited the school daring its existence for ten months can bear testimony that the one thing ueeded to put it among the leading schools of the State and make it the pride of the city is a building. No school in the State has a more beautiful site for a building, and no improvement in the city at this time would have a more telling effect upon the travel ing public than the erection of an elegant bnilding on the Academy Green. But it is wasting time to speak of the advantages and the necessity of such a building when they are so apparent to every live and enterprising citizen. The thing to do is to pitch upon some plan and go to work. There is nothiug to be gained by delay in an enter prise of this sort. Let a plan be formulated at once so that we may break ground as soon as the school closes. We offer the following plan: Let the Trustees of the Academy appropriate the sum of four thous and dollars of their lunds and the Educational Association cover it with four thousand more, and then let a building committee consisting of threaor five from each body be appointed to take charge of the work and push it forward. The Educational Association will have to raise its money by private subscription. With the proper ef fort this can be done. The money can be paid ia monthlyinstall meqts so that it need not be heavy on any subscriber. The JouBif XL has fifty dollars ready for the Asso ciation as soon as the work begins. We dout wish it to be understood that we are flush with money and have it to give away. We know the putting up of a school bnilding is the best investment the city can make with eight thousand dollars. Surely there are sevtfnty-nine oth ers who Can and jrill do as much. Now talking, .will not accomplish much; delay is dangerous; what we want is action I 'action 1 1 action !!! . OCR JUKI SYSTEM. ; The Pamlico nterprie in speak ing of the mistrial of George Wash ington at the last term of our court says the time honored custom of trial by jury- is fast coming into disrepute, and that legislation is needed on the subject. Jury triaLjs "time honored" be- ,cause, notwithstanding its many glaring defects, - no other plan of adjudicating differences between man and man, and ascertaining the innocence or gnilt of a person charged with crime, has aver been devised which was not open to similar or greater abuses. But that an improvement can be made in our present system becomes more palpable at almost every term of a court. . The practice of requiring a unanimous verdict in times like these, when it is becoming less difficult at every court to pack a iury,' .is operating disastrously to the public good." ' No matter- bow pure and learned in the law the Judge may be; no matter how able the counsel nor bow plain and point ed, the evidence may be, a single corrupt juror can -thwart or delay the ends of justice. ' The system that prevails in Scotland in which a ver dict by ' a : majority of the jury suffices, would prove beneficial in this eountry. We don't; mean ; to say that a bare . majority shonld suffice, but. where nins- men out 01 twelve agree upon a verdict the other three ought to succumb. . ; The Enterprue suggests tb at the county commissioners might reme dy the evils complained of to a great extent by purging the jury box, and the sheriff could also aid in the good ; work in summoning taliamen by. obeying the. order 01 the court, and , summon" none but good and lawful men. While the condact of those who hang around the court noose for the purpose 01 getting on the jury is reprehensi ble,' we think that of many good citizens who endeavor to shirk jury duty is equally so. It is the duty of every r'good: man' when called upon to act in the capacity of a juror to do it as a duty that he owes to his country, and not by any means try to dodge it. At the late term, of oar, Superior Court we saw the evil or thiseropping out. dearly every intelligent wnite man, and a few respectable looking col ored men, that were called into the box, while the court was endeavor ing to select a jury for the trial of George Washington for murder, had formed and expressed the opinion that the prisoner was guilty. Many of them went further and said they did not think they could give tbejprisoner a fair and impar tial trial Now we submit that if our best citizens disqualify them selves to act as jurors and use every excuse possible to shirk this im portant duty, we may expeet this "tune honored 7 custom to fall into disrepnte. Just so long as good men shirk the responsibility, just so long will bad men put them selves in the way to assume it. The act of the one is as much to be deplored and coudemned as the other. Judge Hoadley, it is said, will be the man to kuoek down Foeaker in the contest for Gov ernor of Ohio. This has been the State for several years for the man ufacturing of Republican candidates for the Presidency, while the Democrats have relied on New York. If a Democrat should le elected for Governor in that State this fall, the machinery of both parties will lx somewhat dis turbed. AFTEB the first of July, t lie utrade silver dollar" will cease to be an "almighty dollar." It will be refused everywhere. It should be called in and uelboru again." N0RTHWESTEBN GROWTH. The tide of emigration seems to be still setting to the far West A correspondent of the New York Time in Portland, Oregon, esti mates an addition of 50,000 to the population of the State of Oregon and the Territory of Washington during 1SS3. This will bring the total population of the State up to 223,000, and of the Territory up to 175,000. "By the close of 1984," the correspondent says, "after the completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad, Washington Territory will have nearly 225,000 popula tion." The growth of Washington Ter ritory-is hardly more rapid than that of Dakota, which it is believed already has 200,000 people. Mon tana and Wyoming are also receiv ing a great many immigrants and multiplying their numbers. Alto eether. these four territories are a D T vast and fertile country. With Idaho they form a tract richer and more extensive than the thirteen States which made up the original Union. The importance of the growth of this recion. on the rest of the Union, is but little appreciated Yet two of the Territories named Washington and Dakota will have sufficient population to entitle them, if the practice of the past be con tinued, to admission to the Union as States by the next Congress, in time to give them a voice in next year '8 Presidential election. They would thus add six to the voters of the electoral colleges, two members to the National House of Represen tatives, and four members to the United States Senate. Th is they would become a political factor not to be lightly considered. The increase in the products of this rapidly developing region will doubtless keep full pace with the increase in population and political importance. Accordingxo the cen sus of lSSO, Washington Territory with a population of 75,000 produced in the census year 1,921,322 bushels of wheat, beside considerable quan tities of rye, barley, oats, com, and other grain. It has since more than doubled its population, and probably the quantity of its farm products, while it is the chief source of coal and lumber supply lor the whole Pacific coast. Dakota in 1880, with a population of 135,000, produced 2,830,289 bushels of wheat, beside other grain. Its population will soon have doubled, and the quantity of its products will doable with that. The other territories mentioned ha -e just begun to be grain producers, Idaho and Montana onlv producing about bail a miuion bushels of wheat each in 1880, and Wvoming less than -5,000 bushels but all craze immense herds of horned cattle, The total production of wheat in the country in 1880 was 459.4S3J37 bushels. The ten or twelve millions which the new re gion under disenssiom now add to the total become an important lac tor when it is borne in mind that this is constantly increasing and every few years doubling.; Mr. Blaine urged a few years ago that it would be necessary for this country to annex uanaaa 10 pre serve the balance of power with the North, as Mexican States are sure soon to be added to onr Union. Bat the development of the Territories will help to preserve the balance, and Canada, if she doesn't want to come, wil) not be needed. LEASE OR NO LEASE. On. Thursday of next week the stockholders of the Atlantic & N. C Bailroad hold their annual meet ing, and, as we have before stated, it will be one of unusual interest, Propositions will probably be made for the lease of the road, and it is very likely that they will meet with opposition from those who have always oppossd leasing and now have the failure of the lassees and the cost of a suit to regain posses sion of the road to strengthen them in their opposition. -The counties that have invested their money in this road and the private stockholders, undoubtedly want a disposition made of it that will enhance the value of their stock snd develop the country along the line. Whether this can better be done by leasing the property for a number of years at a stipulated annual rental to an ou'.side corpora tion or a syndicate composed of in dividuals, or by the present cor poration is the question to be con sidered. There are two sides to all ques tions. The opponents of a lease can show that the business of the road increased rapidly during the last year it v as in the hands of the corporation, and that it has contin ued to increase sjnc that tme, therefore it would be poor policy to given long lease in consideration! of a small rental as the traffic in a few years will more than double and the road become good paying property. They can also argue further, that if a lessee cau make money out of it, why not the cor poration iUelt'make it. Those ho favor a lease argue that a settled pojjy, fixed upon a business basis, is aa indispensable requisite to the success of any business enterprise. They say that the A. & N. C. Railroad, as hereto fore managed and they appeal to past experience to prove this can not have any definitely settled policy Ix-'cause every incoming Governor "ill have his particular friends to ptovid? for, and new Directors and a new President moans a new management. '"Lease it out and take it out of politics," sav tliey. But will leasing accom plish this? Cannot a railroad in the hands of a private coioratiou I to made as powerful as a political factor as it can iu the- hands of a public corporation? It was com mon talk during the campaign last fall that the Richmond & Danville syndicate would send ,G,pv. Jarvis to the Senate, and who Ttnowa but what this would have been dene had the Governor been a candidate for the position. It has also been held that Mr. Jarvis owed his elec tion as Governor to the timely aid rendered by this same syndicate, and it is whispered now that the opposition which Senator Yance set up against the Richmond & Danville will cost him his re-election to the Seuate. and we have heard from a very reliable source that the A. & N. C. road was used on one occasion, while in the hands of the Midlandere, to defeat the nomination of Appleton Oaksmith as a candidate for the Legislature in Carteret county. Leasing ont then will not take it out of politics if we are to judge by past experi ence. But we believe there is something in the plea for a perma nent management of the road, and ii a lease cau be made at a fair ren tal less than 140,000 per annum could hardly be considered a fair rental for a long period which would secure this and insure the development of the country along the line, we believe it would be to the interest of the people of this section that it should be done. The question, however, should be dealt with upon its merits. If a cry for a lease is raised simply for the purpose of getting the "Ius" out and the "Outs" in, it should not be heeded. On tha other hand if it should be considered to the interest of the counties that have paid and are paying their money for the building of this road to lease it, it should be done, without making any special provisions for the "Ins," who might go out. Finally, as the State has never paid one cent for the building of the road, the will of the . private stockholders and the people of this section who have paid for it, should be allowed to govern. In this Gov. Jarvis can yet redeem his pledge he made in his speech at Kinston du ring the campaign of 1880, 'ew Berne, N. C. Journal of Education. The last great success in graded school work in eastern North Caro lina is at New Berne, on the coast Prof. Johnson began the work at this place last autumn by gather- in gthe white chudren of the town in an ancient academy building, in which several of the notable men of the State had received their ear- ly training. As usual, when the people work together, and an ex pert hojds (he reins, tha success was immediate and Qute astonishing to many who nad never given their attention to the beautiful ways of the New Education, or fancied that school-life, as they knew it in their childhood, could be made so attrac tive. After five months, the New Berne graded school numbers near ly five hundred pupils and is con stantly increasing, Prof. Johnson has full confidence of h able corps of teachers, and the thorough back ing of a board of trustees composed of the solid men 01 the place. Al ready the school has overflown and filled a large private mansion ad joining, and there is still a call for more room. Pupils are being re ceived from the country adjacent, and it is said that rents in the town have percept jbly advanced from the moving in of families tP pducate their children. The Southern graded school, like this and the schools at Goldsboro, Wilson, Charlotte, and other places, although not outwardly different from the same institution at the North, is yet, in some respects, an original and most interesting illua tration of the power of the common school to adapt itself to the wants of a community in need of a rapid development of educational iacih ties. Set up in a county town sur rounded by a vast country, often sparsely populated, with its ednca tional life just being developed, it gathers in all the children oi either race, utilizes the best taaphingrforce in the town, places at the head a man or a woman competent,at once, to train teachees, organize pupils and become a centre of educational influence to tha Whole region round about. The upper grades, in the hands of a cultivated assistant, are able to meat the demand for acade mical work where no good academy is already established, and to trai u the older pupils for the much-need ed supply of good country teach ers. It is beautuul to see the en thusiasm among parents and chil dren, extending from the town to the country and forming a bond of union among all classes of the peo pie. As soon as these towns are able to build school-houses with the mod ern conveniences, tha graded school of the South will become 'a pecu liar institution," unlimited in its capacity for usefulness. Already. several towns in the coast region of North Carolina are discussing the establishment of a school after the pattern in New Berne. Elizabeth City, Beaufort, Washington, Eden ton, and other towns will, in good time, follow this example. JSew Bprpe is one of the most attractive of thus smajjer cities of the South ; rapidly developing, as a centre of vegetauie auu iruji arming ajiu a local cotton port, with growing im portance In manufactures and coast navigation. Some of the most en terprising men of the State are at the head of its affairs, and a broad and geuerous welcome awaits every substantial family that casts in its lot with its people. Another year or two of such educational enter prise as we have seen at New Berne will give it the leadership in com mon school affairs through a region as largje as the Commonwealth of MassociHisjfcttSj and which could ensilv suppot't a pivynlatjoii equal to the Bav Stata.

Raleigh News and Observer: Old bonds amounting to 4,000 were sent to the State treasury yesterday for exchange. Greensboro Patriot: Rev. Dr. J. Henry Smith is fishing and hunting in the Virginia mountains. His health is daily improving. Mr. Alex. Campbell was thrown from his wagon this morning and sustained the fracture of a finger. He stood up and let Dr. Glenn saw it off, and hardly flinched. Gen. Scale was kicked by his horse this morn ing, and narrowly escaped severe injuries. He was struck on the nose and forehead but his injuries are not serious. Wilmington Star: Two colored men named Nick Dudley and Thomas Dudley,hailing from Bruns wick county, were arrested yester day afternoon and lodged in the guard house. It appears that the two men had been engaged in some difficulty, but at the time of the re newal of it Nick Dudley was sitting on a dry goods box in front of a store on Water street, when Thomas Dudley came suddenly upon him, and with a blow of his fist knocked him off the box to the pavement. Nick Dudley cried out that he was stab bed, which created considerable ex citement, and iu the meantime Officer Smith, of the police force, arrived at the. spot aud arrested both parties. Greensboro Patriot; President Gray says the hands west 01 Greens boro will be moved down to the Gulf .on the twentieth of this month, and by July first, the laying of the track will commence. The contract for iron contemplates the delivery of 100,000 tons per week, which will lay twelve miles. Four thousand tons are now in Fay etville, and track laying will com mence at Fayetville and the Gulf simultaneously. When the connec tion at Shoe Hill, with the Caroli na Central, is made, and the track is laid to this place, the wliole force will be brought back to this point aud the work rapidly pushed for ward to the mountains. Wilmington Review: We learn that a young man of this city, whose father was a gallant officer iu the Confederate Army, has made a generous contribition to (he Ladies' Memorial Association, through its Presidents, as a com mencement to a tuna lor the care or removal of the North Carolina dead interred in the Cemetery at Arlington Heights, Va. It is a praiseworthy act. aud we hope that others will come forward and add to the fund until enough shall be con tributed to delray all the expenses incident to the removal of those hero dead who laid down their lives for the land they loved, and their sep ulture beneath the greea turf of the State which sent them forth to battle. Statesville Landmark: A great deal of wheat has been cut in this county last week and this, and it is turning out a splendid crop. The straw is short but the heads are well filled, and we risk little iu saying that the crop is as good as it was last year, when it was almost un preceuentiy excellent, to tne ex tent that the acreage has been in creased the crop is larger, and already we have the assurance of abundant bread. It would not have been surprising, in view of the dry spell, if the wheat had failed to fill fully, but it is a pleasure to know that tne predictions that this would be the case have been falsified. The oats crop will not be full but will be lound sufficient. Gpldsboro Bulletin: A colored fellow-citizen paralyzed the habitues ota Walnut street store Wednesday by inquiring of the clerk if he kept dunce-cap paper, and when the clerk recovered himself and reached for an old chair leg, the citizen fled. Mr. George Ham, who lives a short distance from town, is the proprietor of an educated crow that follows him about his plantation and entertains him with exhibitions of crow deviltry. The chief delight of the fowl is tx sit on the fence and bark at colored people as they pass by, but he will take no notice of white men. It is estimated that he has buried enough knives and forks about the yard to stock a commodious hardware sfre. He is a bad crow. Wil.

It is said that the girl was bound to Halsey's wife, but the latter subsequently surren dered her to her mother. Halsev's wife alterwards died, and since her death Halsey, it is alleged, has en ticed the girl from her mother and taken possession of her. He was recognized for her appearance be fore Justice Millis on Hatiudav at 4p.ui. Wilmington Star: We learn from one of our leading rice farmers that there will be an increase in the acreage of low water rice in this nmediate section tins year of about 600 acres, with a probable yield of about 25,000 bushels. The work of planting was completed about the 1st of June. Mr. H. Ii. Williams, of the Canetuc.k sec tion of Pprider county, writes us that the storm of the 2d" of "June and the rain which has l.een failing nearly every day since have dam aged erops in that neighborhood at least one-third, ii' the weather should stop now, and if it continues nothing .scarcely will lie made. Onr correspondent also states that Mr. A. K. Hilburn, postmaster at Viola, lias had one hundred swarms of bees this spring. Goldsboro Messcntcr; lYof. K. P.

Weldon Roanoke News: On Mon day afternoon as the three o'clock train pulled out for Wilmington it passed the Petersburg freight which was moving slowly on the next track. Mr. J. B. Mottley was standing on the track watching the passenger train when the cow catcher of the freight struck, throw ing him on it. Mr. lottley's feet got eaught between the point of the cow catcher and the cross-ties and it was only with great effort that he succeeded in extracting himself. As he got free he fell off the cow catcher next to the mail train which struck him on the shoulder. He was much bruised but we are glad to say sustained no serious damage. He is getting along well. If the freight had been moving more rap idly he would have been crushed. Washington Gazette: We were shown thisweek a very pretty dis play of silk cocoons by Sheriff Sitchwell. They were raised by Mrs. F. J. Satchwell, of this town, and reflect much credit upon her skill, as it was only an experiment. lrom a small purchase of eggs she raised 500 cocoons and would have had many more had it not been for an accident during the cold snap in the spring. It is said that they require very little attention except during a short period. Would it not be well for others to make the experiment? The crops in this county are now growing finely and the farmers are busy. Iho recent rains have started all the crops and have been of great benefit, except in some sections where it is still too wet. With the present warm weather, this disadvantage will soon be removed. In Hyde county it is still too wet arouud the Lake. Charlotte Journal-Observer: Mr. J. S. Sossamon. of Huntsville, brought us a curiosity yesterday in the way of a stalk of corn. It is no larger than a lead pencil and might be mistaken for a sprig of grass, yet an examination shows that it is a perfect stalk of corn. The tas sel is fully developed and a tiny ear of grain can be seen about half de veloped. This remarkable produc tion was raised by Col. Sam Smith on the land of Mr. R. H. W. Bar- ker, near Huntsville. Mr. E. G. Spilsbury, superintendent of the Haile gold mine, yesterday exhib ited more gold in this office than the reporter has ever had in the bank at any one time in his life There were three bars, each one weighing twelve hundred penny weights and worth about $1,100 each. This is the result of not quite three weeks run at the Haile, and serves to strengthen the con viction that the mine is growing richer and richer the further it is developed. The Haile mine has long been considered one of the richest mines iu the South and bears a splendid reputation, Chatham Record; On yesterday Dr. L. A. Hanks, the county coro ner, went to Lockville to hold an inquest upon the dead body of a new-born infant that had been found near there. After a thor ough investigation there could not be found sufficent evidence to justi fy the arrest of any person, al though a certain colored woman was strongly suspected. The child was thought to have been dead abou; ten days We regret to hear that the 3rop of early peaches is turning out badly. Many of them have dropped before ripening, and but few of them have matured per fectly. At this time last year there was an abundance of nice ripe peaches in this county, but as yet we have not seen A single one this year.-rr rBlaekberries will soon be ripe, aud never before have we seen a more abundant crop of them. They are quite an important crop in this county, and many thousand pounds of them are annually ship ped from here. It is said that more illicit distilleries have been in operation in this county during the last two months than at any time within five years. Raleigh Neics-Observer: At the First Baptist church preparations are made for some important re pairs and alternations in the. church A slate roof will be pat on, replac ing the tin one so long in, use. The windows are to be taken out "and the openings made larger and of different shape, while new and handsome stained glass will replace the old lim its. The qestibule will be Jajd with ties qf handsome and appropriate pattern. The entire enterior of the building is to be re painted in beautiful style. It is thought that alterations will be made in the organ loft by lowering it somewhat. These alternations will add very greatly to the appear ance of the church. The exterior of the building-will also be repaint ed and otherwise adorned. In a few days the work will begin and the improvements will probably all be madeby autumn. Plans for securing a building for the white graded school are being matured. In a litt'e while the ideas of the committee will ln imil Unnwn. There is much talk about the pro posed building. ('apt. W. P. Willamson yesterday brought in the choicest peaches seen here this sea son.' They were large and of fine flavor.

A Massachusetts farmer says that 1 in his owii experience and observa- j tion he has found that the sooner j manure is incorporated in the soil 1 the greater and better the effect on the soil, aud the better the crop immediately following such appli cation. Hence he has come to the conclusion that much of the value of barn manure may be lost by be ing expqsed tp the' sun, air and rajns, and that spreading iminfire on the surface ot the land to o plowed to remain long, unless in a rainy time or when the ground is covered with snow, is a had prac tice, as the sun and air will posi tively draw oft" its virtues, according to the length ot time exposed, lie also concludes that manure in a tine, compacted, well decomposed state may be spread upon grass lands in earlv spring, immediately after cutting the first crop, or in late fall, and very little of its virtue will evaporat or be lost, if the j grass grows freely to'sli'adf jt yvjjui the season becomes warm, and that the best possible, way of applying j manure to cultivated lands is t(l plow it in, or otherwise incorporate it into the first one or I wo inches of surface soil, and the liner the ma n u re is made, the more thoroughly mixed in (lie soil, the better the resulis. Ex. A young lady In ieiiii!. Jvania has by her recent marriage become the mother in law of her brother, her daughter in-law being older Hum herself. Handling Huge Redwood Treeg. Menteur and myself were walk ing tranquilly np a wooded ra vine in California when a woodman on the hillside, some distance above us, took his pipe out of his mouth, and tranquilly remarked: "Guess you fellers jest as well go back." It is one of my rules in life nev er to ask useless questions. I went back. And in a few moments I found out why. The sound of chopping and swish of the saw suddenly ceased, and a long, mournful cry rang through the woods. It was the warning note of the woodman. The top of a tall tree some dis tance ahead of us began to tremble slightly. There was an awful, pro longed groan such a groan as might come from the hairy breast of tha imprisoned giant lcneath Mount Etna. Then came a sharp crack!" as the mighty tree trunk snapped. The tall monster slowly and majestically moved toward the earth. There was a terrible crash as it smote the branches from its fellow trees smiting them cleanly as with a scimetar. There was a roar as of thunder when it struck the ground, as if an earthquake shock were upon us, a cloud of dust rose up, and when it cleared away the impassive woodmen were strip ping the fallen giant of his limbs. Inasmuch as the tree fell upon the exact spot we had occupied a mo ment before, we understood and appreciated the remark of the la conic woodman. We watched the woodmen prepare an immense log, about twelve feet in diameter. They drove in the sta ple, and then hitched to it twenty oxeu ten yoke. The goad-bearer pnebed his animals, swore at them in a pleasant and persuasive voice, and they started. The mammoth log groaned slightly, turned reluc tantly, and moved forward an inch or two. Ping! Whir r-i r! The iron rinr had snanned in twain. Its two fragments flew two' different ways one passing be-' tweeu the interested heads of Men tenr and myself. If it had struck j us we would have lost all interest! in logs and other mundane things. Not having struck us, I maintained my interest. I looked with much curiosity to see what had become of the twenty oxen. I expected to see them out of sight, as an Irish man might say, by reason of the sudden slackening of the immense tension. They were not out of sight, but they were the most miscellaneous, most confused and most disgusted oxen I ever saw iu my life. They were engaged in turning twenty distinct, complicated and rapid somersaults. Menteur, m telling this story, in variably ends its by saying that each ox lit on his feet. But then Menteur is not marked for his ver acity. 9QQ BBLS. FINE FLOUR, 50 Bags Rio Coffee, Fine Syrup, etc., Ex Schooners Ella R. Hill anil Addie Henry.
