Fisher, Local Board of Dl ! rectors of the State Normal School. I Gentlemen: I have the honor Tto submit the l'ollowiug report of j the State Normal School tor col ; ored teachers, held under my su- Iervision at New Berne, N. C, lrom July 9th to Anpust 10th, 1SS:, inclusive: The school hail leen in session two weeks prior to my assuming charge of it, under I lie direction of Uevs. M. A. Hopkins,.!. A. Savage and L. T. IMnistmas, during which time there had Im-cii enrolled loity .seven pupils. Twenty or. e were admitted on the morning of t lie Dth of July, and, snlse(piently, f'orti--eight, making the entire number of pupils enrolled one hundred and sixteen representing the following named couuties: Carteret, Craven, Franklin, Hyde, Lenoir, New Han over. Wavue and Waneu. Of the nuuitier enrolled thirty had been employed, in diflerent sections of the State, as teachers. The object of this Normal Conrse was to give to such teachers a live weeks' training iu the best methods J of lmnartinir instruction in the brandies embraced in the common school conrse, and of developing, systematically the child mind, with the ho)0 of awakening a renewed interest in the new met hods ot in struction, and thns perfecting ulti mately the system of common school instruction adopted throughout the State. Upon assuming the principal ship I found many children anxions to be instructed willing to make almost any sacrifice in order to at tend school. This presented a sit nation which I had not consid ered, but which 1 disjiosed of by subjecting all to a written examina tion in order to determine the standard of scholarship. The re sult of the examination showed, in many instances, that the children who applied for admission were in advance of the teachers, and, if the division had been made in accord ance with the standard decided upon, many whom I expected to exclude would have been allowed to remain. Since it was necessary. to make nse of the children m giv ing sample lessons to teachers, I did not send them out, but divided the school into two classes. In clans A, or the more advanced, I placed all teachers and such of the pupils as had obtained a fair per centage iu the examination. In class IS were placed those who showed the greater deficiency. Of the latter class was formed a kind of model school. Methods for imparting instruc tion in oral aud written arithmetic, algebra, drawing, geography aud map-drawing, grammar, history, music, penmanship, physics, physi ology; primary and advanced read ing, oral, written anu pnonic speii ing were given and exemplified to the teachers in the presence of the school, the teacher conducting the recitation nsing mast frequently the pupils of the model school to illustrate the manner of developing the idea in the unskilled mind. There were associated with me, as assistants, Miss Marion P. Shadd, who had charge of algebra, oral arithmetic, history and physiology; Miss Mamie E. Nichols, teacher of calisthenics, "music aud drawing, aud Miss Rosetta E. Coakley, teacher of geography, map-drawing, penmanship, reading and spelling, all of whom are employed in the public schools of Washington and Georgetown, D. C. The subjects taught by me were written arith metic, grammar, physics and peda gogics. There were held on each school day two sessions; one from 8:45 a. m. to 12 m., arid the other from 3 to 5 p. m. Besides these school day sessions there were held Satur day sessions which generally lasted nlkonf, three hours between 9 a.m. and 12 m. These Saturday ses sions formed a distinct feature. Three Saturdays I opened with a lecture on pedagogics, the other two with a reproduction lesson in pedagogics in which it was required that each teacher speak eight min utes on any subject which he might select. Then followed either a les son iu physics or philosophy; then a lesson iu calisthenics. One-half of the afternoon session of each Thursday, and a part of each Saturday session, employed in eivinsr to teachers lectures on pedagogics. The pnriiosc of the lectures was to supply the lack of technical knowledge which 1 found to exist, and which is a natural re sult of such a low standard ot intel lectual development; to draw pa rents and friends in order to elevate the standard of education generally. In my lectures on hygiene and on morals I aimed to give general ideas of health and morality to the teachers that they, through the children, might communicate these ideas to the pareuts most of whom have been deprived of all advan tages for acquiring a knowledge of the laws of health and morality. Dnrins the course Kev. L. C Vass delivered two lectures before the school, one on the eye and the other on the ear, both of which were highlv entertaining and instructive. The building in which the sessions ! of the school were held is a hand some two story frame structure, containing two very fine school rooms on the second lloor, and a large assembly room on the first floor, all of which were excellently adapted to school purposes. The use of the this building was kindly tendered, frcY of charge, by the public school committee. There was a set of Mitchell's New Outline Maps and a library case containing over one hundred books which form an excellent nucleus for a librarv. In addition to these wpft contributions of educational journals, and other papers and periodicals. We are indebted to Messrs. lvison, JUakeiuan, Taylor & Co., through Prof. II. C.Spencer, of the Spencerian Business College of Washington. 1. ('., for nine dozen Spencerian Writing lloolcs and a Spencerian Writing Chart: to Messrs. ). Applctoii K: Co. tor tin loan of the excellent chart by Mrs. PiekorV which we found of indis pensable service in the teaching of phonics, primary reading and other J' elementary instruction as well as for the gilt of a set of reading books and geographies; to Messrs. Barnes & Co. for the loan of fifty readers which we used in the more ad vanced stages of our instruction. I think this book au excellent one to nse in the more advanced gram mar grades to awaken in pupils an eagerness for general information. The closing exercises were held Friday morning, August 10th, sup plemented by literary and musical exercises in the evening. The morning exercises consisted of reci tations conducted bv the teachers who had taken the five weeks' course. j I take great pleasure iu re (erring to the iuterest, appreciation and enthusiasm manifested by all of the pupils throughout the course, and, considering their general lack of preparation for such a course of training, I have everv reason to feel thankful that they evinced marked improvement at the end of the course. I feel verv grateful to the Board of Directors for t heir courtesy and for the interest manifested by them concerning the details of the work; also to the citizens of New Berne, both white and colored, who have given snch hearty encouragement and supjwrt. Respectfully, Ella W. Somerville, Principal. New Berne, N. C, Aug. 11, 1F83 Letter From Hyde. Lake Comfort, HTDE Co., N. C, Aug. 10, '83. Editor Journal: For the first time in my life, I am in the soil of what is known as the Granary of North Carolina;" here where they grow oceans of corn instead of "corn patches." They have the largest fields, fattest stock and prettiest ladies that yon ever saw, but like all other sweets, it has its bitter, the greatest of which is the scarcity of drinking water; how ever, when the home supply fails the old lake furnishes it in abund ance. Though my visit here is one of business, in the interest of the A. & N. C. Railroad, still it has been rendered very pleasant by the kindness and courtesy of the most hospitable people you ever met with. The county seems to be prospering, the people cheerful, and improvements continually going mil. on; nere ana mere we una licue towns going up all along the shore, and only the other day lots were laid off for a new one at the head of "Lightwood Creek Canal," to be known as "milronville, 7 namea lor that indefatigable and enterprising citizen Dr. Milton Shelby. And right there, Mr. Editor, it seems to me that some of the transportation companies of New Berne might in vest a little capital tuat would pay a nanasome revenue into tneir coffers. Suppose, for instance, that they were to take one-half stock in said canal and dredge it out snf- ficiently to make it navigable for steamboats, they would thereby receive the freight of 50,000 bushels of corn, several thousand of rice, besides other products annually; besides that, snch an enterprise would encourage the production of still more. Would it not pay them to do it? The cost of the entire work would not exceed $6,000, and the citizens would very willingly accept aid and interest themselves in the enterprise to make it profit able to both parties. Hope the different companies will think care fully over this matter and take some steps toward the completion of an enterprise so very beneficial to the whole public as this must in evitably prove to be. Besides the benefits that would accrue to this county, it would add thousands of dollars to the business of any com pany that might take hold of and prosecute it on business principles. A small amount of capital with a good lot of goaheaditiveness, and the thing is done, as I can assure them that they will be met with a liberal hand by the people here. Within the past year or two much of the trade of this county has been turned from New Berne. This should not be, and would not if her business men would come forward with their inducements as other places do. Since the manage ment of tbe railroad has been re sumed by the A. & N. C. Railroad Company. Col. Whitford is making every arrangement in his power for the convenience and safety of ship ping to make it an inducement for the people to ship by his road, guar anteeing that their produce will be cared for and that rates will be as low asiKissible. Whenever any en terprise shows to the public by its actions that it works for the in terest of both parties, the people are bound to patronize it. We must move and show that we are willing to help others as well as ourselves, before we can expect help to come to ns. u pon that principle Col. Whitford seems determined to show to the people that it is to their interest to ship by his road, and when they so understand it, they will certainly do so, because it is to their interest, and interest is at the bottom of all enterprises. Closing for tho present, I am Truly yours, 1'. Electric Flannel. A new fabric, devised by Dr. ("lander, a French doctor, is said to be efficacious against rheumatism, and we mention the fact for what it may be worth. The material is, however, in itself interesting, and contains per 1,000 parts by weight of wool, 115 parts of oxides of tin, copper, zinc and iron. Someot the woolen threads are saturated with j these salts and woven into the rest j of the web. The flannel is said to j form a dry battery or ''pile," and j according to the tests of M. Dem-i court, Professor of Physics at the Rheims Lyceum, it liberates elec tricity in considerable quantity, especially when fhe skin is trans piring freely. While upon this subject we may mention that a new kiud of electric conductor, called the "tissu conducteur," is now in nse. It consists of bauds of ! cloth in which metal wires of iron or copper, forming the conducting ! part, are woven into the rest of the 1 fabric. GENERAL NEWS. There were by 675 deaths from cholera, in Egypt on Monday. A new 500-ton schooner was launched in Richmond Saturday last. There are seventy-six new Epis copal churches being bnilt in Florida. On Sunday night last the "Ban ner" warehouse in Durham was destroyed by tire. Fnlly insured. Mr. Edward L. Pemberton. one of the best known citizens of Fay etteville, died there Thursdav, aged 55. Proctor Knott's majority is 37,000 or more. Governor Black burn's majority was but 35,0.0. So there was no falling on. At a recent meeting of the Board of Commissioners of Durham, Mr. Wm. Lipscomb was elected to till the unexpired term caused by the death of Col. D. C. Parish. State Superintendent Scar borough reports all the Normals of the State, except the one a Eliza beth City, to have been better this year than ever before. The announcement of (he failure of the large Brokers, Geo. Wm. Ballon & Co., of Wall street, on Tuesday, created quite a panic and turmoil in the Stock Market. All the news from Spain must be read with the understanding that it is official. Yet it is evidently true that military executions have begun, that arrests are being made all over the country, and that it is not safe for Alfonso to trust in hia army. Vienna, Aug. 14 4:25 p. m. A telegram has just been received from Frohsdorf announcing that Connt de Chambord is , wrestling with death. The Count de Paris, the Orleanist princes, and a number of Legitimist chiefs have left here for Frohsdorf. Washington, Aug. 14. The Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service, to-day received a telegram from Dr. Robert Mainegra announcing nis arrival at vera Craz, and reporting that yellow fever is raging in the city and among the vessels in the harbor. London, Aug. 14. The Standard says that the despatches received from Madagascar fully confirm the first accounts ot the differences be tween the French and English at Tamatave. "Should France," says the Standard, "not- offer explana tions, England, no doubt must de mand them." City of Mexico, Aug. 14. The text of the treaty of commerce' and amity between Mexico and Ger many has been officially published. The treaty contains the most favor ed nation clause. Under its pro visions German residents in Mexi co are to pay no taxes that are not levied on Mexicans. They are to be exempt from military service, and from contributions in lien thereof; also from forced loans. Two little girls, Catherine and Esther Burke, aged 5 and 6 years respectively, came alone all the way from Liverpool to Cincinnati arriv ing last Tuesday. They were pla carded, "Children of Patrick Bnrke, No. 83, Martin St., Cincinnati," and were properly cared for by the steamer and railroad officials. The tournament at Warm Springs on the evening of the 9th between the Asheville Knights and the Knoxville, Tenn., Knights, was th most notable event of the kind ever held in the State. More than 3,000 people were present. The riding was exceflent. The North Carolina boys were victors, and after a long -and splendid contest the badge of honor was awarded to Nat T. Chambers, the "Knight of the Old North State." The leading editorial article in the New York Sun of yesterday contained the names of five Repub lican and three Democratic United States Senators who may be candi dates for President, among them John L. Logan, of Illinois, and Thomas T. Bayard, of Maryland. Great Scott! Were the janitors furnishing editorial copy Saturday uight and the galley boys editing it, and were the proof-readers all down at Conev Island t Baltimore Day. It has been discovered that the soil in the cemeteries where yellow fever victims have been buried is literally alive with mecrobian or ganisms, exactly identical with those found iu the vomitings, blood, etc., of yellow fever patients. Experiments with animals show that these organisms are sure death to the creature which comes in con tact with them. This is certainly one of the most important discov eries of modern science. Crema tion of yellow fever victims would seem to be the only remedy. A number of gentlemen met at 15 Cortlandt street, New York, on Tuesday and organized the New York, Danbury and Boston Rail road, with a capital of SI 0,000,000. It is proposed to lay out a new route between the upper terminus j of Second avenue in New York and Portchester. From Portches- j ter to Ridgerield, Conn., the line of! the New York and Ridgefield Rail road, upon which $400,000 has been i expended for grading and masonry, will oe nseu. jjeiweeii liuigeuem and Danbury a link of about ten miles will make a connection with the New England Railroad, thus forming a short route to Boston. A rival of quinine is reported in the London Timex. It was discov ered by Prof. Fischer of Munich. The Times says: "In the course of a long series of investigations concerning the na ture and action of quinine he. found that by means of a succession of chemical transformations a sub stance can be obtained, in the form of a white crystalline powder, from coal tar, which greatly resem bles quinine in its action on the hu man organism. Fischer has given it the name of'kairin.' The chief effect produced by it, as yet ob served, is the rapid diminution of fever heat, and its efficiency in this respect is described as remarkable. It is believed that it will render the use of ice iu fever cases unnecessary.' A TALK WITH SENATOU MAHONF. HE THINKS THE REPUBLICANS BOUND TO WIN EDUCATION AT THE SOUTH. From the New York Tribune, 14. Senator Mahone " arrived at the Fifth Avenue Hotel this evening, He was in very good spirits and talked freely. He wore his accus torued Panama hat and high collar, "I don't care who the Democrats may bring to the front, they will be Deaten in the canvass ot 1884," said Senator Mahone. "The Republi cans may be disposed to wrangle among themselves lor the moment, our, m i4 they will be a united party and will be successful." "vvjiow til oe tne possible can didates of the respective parlies? "It is hard to tell now. Blaiue and Logan 1 hear mentioned on t he 4art. of the Republicans, although Arthur is as popular down my way as any uiau I know. As for the Democrats, I hear no name iu par ticular. The Southern Democrats seem to want anybodv to beat Grant, even were he Blaine.'' "How is Arlhui's administration regarded in the South?" "With great satisfaction. Ar thur has done more to eliminate the sectional prejudices existing between the North and South than any other man since the war. The reason seems to lie mostly in his appointments to office, and the aid given him by Congress. Arthur has met great difficulties and has borne himself well. Virginia would cousider it a blessing to have Arthur continued in the administration of the Government." "AY hat will be the issue in the next campaign?" "The tariff first aud last. The Republicans will stand firm for protection, and will be successful, I have no donbt. The distrust which has grown out of apprehen sions of alterations of the tariff by the next Congress, is wholly un founded. The tariff caunot be tam pered with. Tho House, of course, will be overwhelmingly Democratic, and may wrangle over and adopt new tariff regulations, but the Sen ate will not approve them. The Senate is for protection. There are thirty-eight Republicans, thirty-six Democrats, and two Readjust ers. The Readjusters are for protection, and so are all of the Republicans, with possibly one or two exceptions at tho furthest. The Republicans also have the veto of the President. If manufacturers and' merchants stopped to consider for a moment this fact, as I look at it, there could be no doubt of the security of our present, tariff. The South is grow ing more in favor of protection every year. V lrginia is above all a protective State. The silk in dustry is thriving with sur prising vigor, under our protec tive laws. The people are becom ing alive to the importance of the tariff as a means to develop the farming industries. We are 200,000 to 80,000 in favor of protection. The negroes are all for protection. The country cannot do away with the tarifl yet. Our industries, ex cept possibly New England, are still in their infancy. In New Eng land I am told that they can do without the tariff. They can com pete with England without any difficulty. England is strongly for free trade, but only lor a season. A strong protection party is growing up there. America is already un derselling England in silk, cheese, beef, etc. It is with the pauper labor of the Old World that Ameri ca caunot contend. No; the next Congress will not disturb the tariff, but may even improve it; that is, raise the rate on certain things." "How do you regard the Govern ment debt?" "This plethora of money which is so often alluded to should be taken to relieve the country of its debt. Pay off the Government debt is my policy. The theory that a debt is a good thing for investments is all well enough, but the Government has broader principles to live up to. We should use our money to edu cate the people build up our State aud common schools. The advance ment of our civilization depends on the education of the masses of our people." "How are the schools iu the South?" "Very good. Our State is under taking something not known else wherethe establishment of a col lege for the education of negro teachers. The Legislature has ap propriated $100,000 for the pur pose, and the college is now being built. We believe in educating the. negro. He is an instrument with which we hope to develop the South. Our common schools are thriving remarkably well. We now have 5,000 schools and scholars, black and white." 250,000 "How is the commercial situation in the South?" "Our industries are thriving well and trade is moderately brisk. We do not feel the depression iu Wall Street to any great extent. Our railroads seem to be prospering. Our people have it that Mr. Gould is the moving spirit in the new syn dicate of the Richmond and Dan ville Company." J'Ought the Government to take the rclef ranli ?" ' - L I think so; it is part of our pos svstem and the Government i ta should make it as equally accessi ble for use to rich and fioor as are the mails." Kniirlits of Honor. ii t't nshoro Put riot . The meeting in this city today of the St ate Grand Lodge of Knights of Honor requires more than a pass ing not ice. The Supreme Lodge of tho United States was organized January 1st, 1S7-1 a little over nine years ago. The objects of the order are mutual aid to the members while living, and a widow and orphans benefit lo the dead brother of $2,000. The rapid 7. '.' ; ,,.,;,, n.,,1 H, .lif.f i I II II I l n IMVt 'lllill. IUU " - iviix i - J cxtendid to tho living, and the amount, paid in the shape of policies upon the death of members has : been enormous. We have no data upon which to base a calculation as the whole amount thus paid; but i the following facts, gathered from the proceedings of the last Supreme Lodge, held iu Galveston, Texas, last May, will give some idea of the workings of this branch of the beuevolent institutions in the United States. February 17, 1882, when assess ment No. Ill was called for 2,496 Lodges responded showing 125,424 active members. May ls 1883, there were 2,607 Lodges, with a membership of 128,000 making a net gain for the year of 8,000 mem bers. The amonut disbursed from May 1882 to May 1883, reached the sum of $2,510,800 on the widow and or phan benefit fund. The Grand Lodge of North Caro lina, which is now in session here, was organized April 18th, 1877, at Wilmington. There were then 11 Lodges in the State. At present there are 68 Lodges, with au active membership ot 2,319 members. J M. Spraggins, of Tarboro, is Grand Dictator, and P. C. Carlton, of Statesville, Grand Reporter. W e make a few extracts from the report of the Grand Dictator, to this session: "I am glad to say that some of my Deputies have done good work and that 18 new Lodges have been organized during mv administra tion. We number at this time 68 Lodges, with a membership of 2,319, and with one or two organ izers, we could nearly double our number by another meeting of the Grand Lodge. The Order at large number at this time 130,000 or more, and its condition was never better. From May 22, 1882, to April 30, 1883, we paid the sum of ,737,000 to tlie benetlcianes ol deceased members, making a total of about $8,738,000 disbursed to beneficiaries since its organization. The actual cost to a member under 45 years of age, who joined the Order in 1873, has been for nine years and ten months $116 in as sessments, or an average of $11.80 per year. "It to this sum of $116 tor assess ments, $4 a year be added for Lodge dues, for nine years and ten months, and $10 for initiation fee, the total cost to such members will be $105.35; an annual average cost for initiation fee, lodge dues and assessments during nine years and tnti mnntlia filA &t 11. An nnnnnl cost for each $1,000 benefit to each member ot $8.40. No beneficial society ia the world can produce siich a record lor nearly ten con secutive years, which equals this. "There have been several Lodges suspended by t he Supreme Lodge lor nou payment of assesments; yet I am glad to say that all with the exception of Littleton, Mt. Airy and High Point Lodges, have been reinstated and are to-day in good standing." From the Grand Reporters re port we learn: At the last session the deaths in our jurisdiction, from August 24th, 1880, to August 19th, 1881, were is in number, and numbering up to 34 from the first death in the State. Since the previous report, (August 19th, 1881), 40 have fallen.

Mr. Stephen Holland brought in a oat load of the tineRt apples a few days ago that I have seen in this market this jyear. He has several varieliesof very ' fine grapes, also the finest onions, raised ! from the seed I ever saw. ! Mr. C. B. Frazelle has resumed his ; school at Cedar Point. Mr. Geo. T. Farnell commenced teaching at Piny Grove, near here, on the 13th inst. This is Gaorge's first attempt at the business and we wish him much success in his new work. A steamboat, tho Zagua Jay, from New York, bound to Fernandina, Fla.. came through Bogue sound and stopped here last Friday, 10th inst. Capt. C. B. Parsons, of New Jersey, I believe, was i iu command. It went out at Bogue inlet on Monday morning, 18th. Capt. Asa Moore and Geo. Littleton commenced fishirjg at Bear inlet last week. Capt. Jim Smith at Mt. Pleasant. There are four or five other fisheries near here that no one is fishing as yet, though expect will be soon. The mullets may look out, sure. Capt, Heady has already received several or- i jers from up the country Letter from 8wnbr. mr. jfiMTOH: in tbe abaeno or your Lorresponaent, permit me to drop you an item or two. I shall give you no tough story, nor do I prom 1m a fin spun narrative based upon fancy, but If i should attempt to describe this vlclnl ty and its advantages, I hope it shall be tintbtui and correct. Onslow county is one of those counties highly favored by nature. There are no railroads, no canals, nor has any system ot internal improvements beea attempted within its borders. It is true that an appropriation for New River passed our last Congress, but I imagine that it will die where it was born. Let that appropriation be increased to fifty thousand dollars, and applied to the opening of the waters from Swanrboro to New River, and then we will have a direct water course from New River to Pamlico Sound, and on to Currituck Sound, bringing our county in contact with Mew ilerne, Norfolk, and I might add Baltimore. The shutting up of New Inlet or Its attempt has already increased our freights to Wilmington, reducing the value of our productions, and incurring additional risks in passing aroond "Frying Pan Shoals." We must look eastwardly for a solution of this diffl cnlty. Water transportation is the cheapest, and nature, with soma little nelp, win give us the route indicated Then Swansboro and New River will spring from their long sleep. Backed up as they are by rich and fertile lands. they will command the trade, build np tne markets, and your city will loel tbe impulsive influence of the movement inaugurated here. Swansboro ia a beau tifully located place. It needs paint and energy. (Jur citizens are good and hospitable, but labor under disadvant ages. They see the dimoulties environ ing them, but are not able to grapple mem. Swsisboro ought te be one of the beat markets on this coast. We have fish of all kinds in abundance, clams and oys ters without end. Hwanaboro Is and ought to be a healthy place, the water or wnite uak river (about two miles wide here) bounding on the northeast side, and Bogue and Bear inlets on its front, bringing in ocean's flood on the south and southeast, making our place a handsome peninsula. It is also Well shaded, inviting him who seeks repose and recuperation of wasted energies to its bosom to enjoy its bealtb giving powers. Mr. Editor, a steamer bound for Florida came through Bogue sound a few days ago to our town, demonstrat ing the practicability as well as tbe feasibility of the navigation of Bogue sound. Ma lor Hearne has been here and rani up White Oak, looking after the steam boat route. The Major means business. Let him be encouraged liberally, ind our town will blossom like a rose. We invite imiorratioil and canit&l 'In build ing this place, we build Onslow county; its revenues are- increased ; valuations are increased and burdens lightened. We are haying delightful weather, cool and pleasant. Come to see our place. White Oak Items. Mr. Council Foy owns a pig with no eyes. Mr Thoa. S. Gillethas lost another horse by staggers. We are having it very dry, so much so that tbe farmers could not finish their crops. Young men, just starting in business. dont eat S3 cent watermelons: they will make you sick price too high. ' Miss Ann ice Lee, from near rolioks- ville, is yisiting Miss Nannie Foy. Tbe last named young lady's brother is happy. The hunters up Black Swamp killed a wild cat, catamount, or panther cat, that measured 4t feet, we would be glad to know the difference between the three, if there is any. Jake Jones, col., ie playing havoc with the coons. Young and inexperi enced hunters would do well to take a few lessons under Jake, as he can take a coon from a hollow without catting. George Smith, col., lost a fine oz. He found the hide and head. Tbe ear had been taken from the head so that the owner should not know him We hope the thief may be soon brought to account. Capt. C. D. Foy attempted to kill a beef tbe other day and after being Bitot 26 times he jumped a ten rail fence, run three miles and then the ax was necessary to affect a fall, requiring many blows. Some time since Mr. W. P. Weeks, while riding along, his horse stumbled and fell, and falling on him. broke his collar bone and it was feared other bones of his shoulder. Mr. Weeks is an energetic, hard-working man and be has tbe sympathy of all who knew him. Glad to learn that he is improving. Catharine Lake Items. Mr. Lee Cox, who has been clerking at Trenton, is home on a visit of a few days. Mr. Brown is making a survey of the Quaker bridge road, and will be able to settle the question about distance. There is a child at Tar Landing, that drank some dissolved lye, and nas to live on milk. It has done this for sev eral years, and has ordinary health. Richlands has seventeen mails every week. It has dai connection with the W. & W. Railroad and with Jackson ville, tri-weekly with Trenton, and semi-weekly with Kinston. On the night of August Sd, Col. S. B. Taylor of this village had a very fine mare mule stolen from his stables. She is a dark bay, very fat, has white on shoulders and back, and notably large. Your correspondent visited a family not long since, where there were twelve children, and the oldest not more than fifteen. The husband had five, the widow had four; the two married, and now have more. Mrs. Bryant Huffman has a babe which weighed only two pounds, clothes and all, soon after birth. At one month, it weighed pounds. Mr. Huffman has married twice, and has been blessed with 23 children. Mr. Geo. Co well, on Half Moon, is a pHiful curiosity. When 16 years old, he was taken with broken-bone feyer, which caused great suffering and left him unable to walk, or even turn in bed. He is forced to lie flat on his back all the while. He is now about 40 years old and in perfect health, being very fleshy. He spends much of his time in reading. He converses well, has a strong, vigorous mind, and is quite intelligent. Charlotte Jirurnal-Obterver: Id talk ing with a number of our people yester day, we found that they were disposed to complain that the preachers failed to pray for rain last Sunday, and in con sequence, tho clouds parted over Char lotte yesterday, and while it rained all around us, not enough fell here to lay the dust. They firmly believe that if our preachers had prayed for rain last Sunday, we would have had it yester day. An officer from Pineville came into the city yesterday bringing a negro man named Morris Barnett for com mitment to the jail in this city on charge of sheep stealing. Morris was in a bad fix. His legs were filled with squirrel shot all the way from thigh to heels, and the shots were put there by Mr. Barvis Taylor, the owner of the sheep the negro tried to steal. Barnett was in Mr. Tavlor's barn and had picked up a sheep in his arms. Mr. Taylor let him get a little distance off when he took aim at the thief's leg and fired, bringing him down. Barnett vaa ar raigned before Justice F. C. Hat ris, who put him under a bond of $200 for his appearanoe for trial at the Inferior Court and as he could not give it, he was brought to town and jailed. His wounds are painful. I ut not rious.
