Me Declines to Shirk Jury Duty and Dispenses Jnstiee with gravity. We clip tbe following from the i New York Sun of September 11th; and commend Mr. llandall's pa- J triotism to bur tenders in thi sec tion. There is a disposition on tbe part of good men to shirk jury duty which, if not checked, will tend to iiKtkc courts of justice a farce, for as pMd men show their inclination to s!iifk. had si ltd incompetent men put t lieniM'lves t"t wiird: l'lm.PW.i'in Sei)t. Iliiidalli,..r Ih i e.'' : 10. "S. .1 llic response caine m iovv uhipb fioin .soincwliere aino:g fifty jurors sitting tlire deep to-day iu the new Court House. All the jurors, except the one., who had answered, were startled' into -ftttitndea ex pressive of the liveliest interest. They half rose out of their seats and fixed their eyes upon a figure in solemn black sitting up against the white wall. The court crier, who has grown white haired, venerable, and deaf in tho service of justice, did not hear tho reply. "Samuel J. Randall," he repeated in a tone.haviug. a touch of quer nlousness in it. Then, as if a new thought had struck "him, he added : "Samnel J. Randall, M. C." Then came a saucv and sharp 'Here, sir!" that stuck like a pin iu tho old crier's ear drum. Tho ex-Speaker had boon invited, as a member of the bar, to take a seat in the space reserved for law yers, lie declined, however, and said that he preferred to sit with his fellow jurors. The roll having been completed, half a dozen of the panel had Judge Hare excuse them from service so that they might at tend to private affairs. The mind of the Congressman, however, had been made up days ago, and he re mained firmly planted in the. seat of duty". When everything had been arranged District Attorney Graham, walking over to him, touched the bowed head and smil ingly said: "Well, Mr. Speaker, 1 see that we are to have the honor of your service." Ilonor," replied Mr. Randall, bracing up with an effort, and ris ing to grasp the hand of the prose cuting officer, who was as cool as the weather; "yon natter me." "But we do not often have a member of Congress doing duty in Quarter Sessions juries'." "Why nott He conld exercise no higher privilege. I think that every man ought to realize that fact. We hear a good deal nowa days about leforin. Why" not re form the condition of things under which bo? on an jr men who ought to serve i on dries lo nott Xo fniiu ought to be relieved from jury ser vice who cannot present a very stroug reason. For myself I have no such rcasou. I am not too old;' I am not too young; I am not too rich; I am not sick. Here I am; here I stay."' The first petit jury drawn, did, not include him.' He sat through the two hours and a half that they occupied the box with his head al most continually; burjed in his hands. The jury "disagreed at last on ik .question as to whether a dog without a collar could or could not be stolen,, and went out to decide. A" new jury was called. The very last name drawn was .that of Mr. Randall. The ex-Speaker,' with his glistening black silk hat pressed gently np nnder his smooth round chin, stepped down into the box and satk into the last seat in the back row. The jurors all insisted that he should serve as foreman and he consented. Only four cases were tried. The statesman drank in every word of. testimony and would not smile even when a pris- oner, who was clearly perjuring himself, was caught in the prose cuting officer's net. Three out of tbe four prisoners on trial were committed. The ex-Speaker serves again to-morrow. A Yonthfal Mathematical Prodlgr. Little Morris Castle, aged not quite five, is a very remarkable child, as children average. He has never been to school a day, nor has he over been taught at home, and yet he- is a better mathemati-1 cian than two-thirds of the grown people a year ont of school. The Dispatch man asked Master Morris if hie could count a hundred. "Forward or backward P asked the boy, looking up quickly. "Either." Morris chose the latter, and rat tled off the numerals from 100 to 1 in better time than his questioner could were ho to begin at one. "Twice sixty asked the Dis patch man, and Morris answered so ! qnickly that his father volunteered to select problems equal to the boy's ability. "How many feet in mile ?" asked his father. I "Five thousand eight hundred! Sand twenty," replied he. without I the least hesitation. I '-Twice 770J P was asked him. ' "One thousand five hundred and; ! forty one and a half, he replied, j i almost betbre the question had left j 1 the speaker's lips. Then followed questions and an swers involving both memory and : calculation, and within a reason'a , bio range not a problem puzzled the boy for an instant. He would look up with his pretty blue eyes, move ! his lips slightly as if calculating to ' himself, and give out the answer in : a business like way that was simply astonishing. He told readily the numlier of feet in a rod, hours in u day. days in the year, ounces io a pound, twice 4(0, three times seventy-two, and four rimes thirty-one. He repeated the "threes" iu the multiplication table, and could have gone on to the end for aught the Dispatch man knows. Mr. Castle said that no effort what ever had been made to teach the child, and that ho had obtained his knowledge of mathematics by his own exertions, and up to within a tew mouths ago his parents knew nothing of his precocity. Erie (Penn.) Dispatch. GENERAL NEWS. Texas has 6,130 miles' of railroad. The Crown prince Qf gcrvja hfl8 filtered tlie army as a private. Deer are dying iu large numbers in Virginia of a disease called black tougue David Dudley Field, the oldest of four distinguished brothers, will soon celebrate his eightieth birth day. Cracow-, September 11. Large numbers of Russians, evidently military oflicers, are crossing the frontier en route to Bulgaria. Gov. Crittenden, it is expected, will call an extra session of the Missouri Legislature to amend the liquor law so as to close bar rooms in St. Louis on Sundays. The number of commercial trav- elers in the United States is, ac cording to statistics, 200,000. The average cost to the employers is $3,000 for each salesman, or an ag gregate of $000,000,000 per annum. Tbe farm of the late Horace Greeley, at Chappaqua, N. Y., was sold a few days ago in accordance wit h a decree of the Supreme Court of New York. It was bought by Mr. Greeley's daughter Gabrielle for $ 10,000." It contains 78 acres, and with buildipgs, etc., cost Horace Greeley over 9 1 0,000. The Texas cotton buyers' and farmers' differences have been set tled. Cotton is to be weighed at the compress by the public weigh ers, in conjunction with a weigher selected by the press and approved by a majority of tho buyers. If a dispute arises, then a disinterested person shall be called in, and his decision shall bo final. There are perhaps ten millions of boys in the United States who smoke cigarettes, and an awful warning is conveyed to them by the recent death of one little boy from this cause. Tba warning ought to be a dreadful one, but there is not much danger that the national rev enue from cigarettes will be dimin ished in consequeuce of the warn ing. John Chinaman has some of that mechanical genius on which we have always prided ourselves, and of which this country never had too much yet. A technical journal says the longest bridge in the world is m China. Its roadway is 70 feet wide and 70- feet high. There are 300 arches, and each of the pillars, which are 75 feet apart, bears a pedestal on which is the figure of a lion 21 feet long, and made out of one block of marble. By the recent census it appears that the total population of Egypt is 0,798,200, very equally divided as to sex, tho men numbering 3,393, 928 and the women 3,304,352. The population of tho most important towns is thus given: Cairo, 368, 108; Alexandria and suburbs, 208, 775; Port Said, 16,500; Suez, 10,913; Tautah, 33,725; Damietta, 34,046; Rosetta, 10,671; Mansourah, 20,784; .Zagazig, 19,046. Macon, Ga., September 11. A party of three or four men went to the house of Steve Sasser, colored, a farmeliving near Arlington, Ga., on Safrntey night and set fire to his stable, cotton house and coru crib. The buildings, one hundred bushels of corn and two bales of .cotton were destroyed and several nogs were ourneu io ucaiu. oasser was shot two months ago after hav iDg been warned to leave the vicin ity for having been too intimate with a white woman. The total number of French officers in active service is at pres ent nearly 14,000, including 400 Generals. No province is more numerously represented than Alsace-Lorraine, no less than 2,000 officers being natives of that now Germau province, including 26 Generals of divisions and 59 of brigades, the best known among whom are Schneegans, Sumpt, Schramm, and Wolff. Besides these there are about 100 naval officers from Alsace-Lorraine in the French service, including Admirals Con rad, Krantz, and Pigeard. Two Mormon elders began a meeting a few nights ago in Cometa county, Georgia. The meeting was well attended. After singing and prayer, one of the elders began a sermon on the beauties of Mormon ism. He had not spoken long be fore a gruff voice came from the audience, saying: "Put him out." This was followed by a volley of eggs that were not strictly fresh. The missionaries toole up their gripsacks and made off, chased by the crowd. They proved to be able runners, and when they were last seen by their pursuers they were headed toward the west. Public sentiment is in favor of substitut ing buckshot for eggs in the event of further attempts to make con verts in that region to Monnonism. Dublin, September 11. The demonstration at Waterford on Sunday under the auspices of tbe Irish National League was attended by over 30,000 persons. The city was profusely decorated with flags and emblems and there was an im posing procession with banners and several bands of music. Tbe meet ing passed resolutions demanding a Parliament for Ireland, not only in ' name but in reality, and declaring that Ireland must have that which Euglaud by necessity of time granted to Canada because Canada was rebellious. The adoption of the resolutions was greeted with loud cheers. Michael Davitt, in his speech, deuounced the land act as entirely inadequate to the needs of Ireland, lie stated that not one sixth of the land cases had yet. been heard and that when they had been settled the reduction of rent would not amount to one million pounds. Knropean statisticians are grad ually reducing their estimates of the population of China. It used to be put at over four hundred millions. Behm and Wagnei re duce their estimates for China and Corea from 434.500,00(1 to :;7!t,.")00, 000. Peterson reduces his estimate bv seventy-five millions, making the present total three hundred and fifty millions. Dr. Happcr, mis sionary, believes this can safely be reduced another fifty millions. Mr. Hippisley, acting Commissio ter of Customs, thinks two hundred and fifty millions more nearly correct than three hundred and fifty mil lions. Tbe losses by the Taeping and Mohammedan rebellions, and by the famine and pestilence which swent the provinces of Chili, Shan tung, Shansi, and Honan, are vari ously estimated at from sixty-one to eighty one millions. St. Louis, Sept. 11. Meagre in formation through police sources was furnished late last night of one ! of the most bloody tragedies that ; have occurred in this city tor a very S long time. Henry B. Blessing, an ; engineer, residing at 1451 Cass j Avenue, made a murderous assault j upon his brother-in-law,, about 11 j o'clock, firiug several shots at him. ; All of the shotstook effect and will j prove fatal. Blessing then fired I two shots at his wife, both of which I struck her, inflicting dangerous woun'ds. Tlie infuriated man then escaped from the house and eluded pursuit for an hour, when he was found in the garret of his house with his throat cut from ear to ear; but was not dead. He was taken to a dispensary, where he attempted to explain his acts, but could not talk on account of his windpipe be ing nearly severed. He was then taken to the hospital where his wounded wife and brother-in-law had already been taken, where they now lie in a very critical condition. No explanation of the affair has yet been obtained, but it is suspected to have originated in a family quarrel. STATE NEWS (J leaned from oar Exchanges. . Elizabeth City Economist: The burnt district is being rapidly built up, and, like the fabled Phoenix, is flapping the ashes from its wings. Let it rise. The Democratic District Convention of the First Congressional District of North Carolina is called to meet in Eden ton, on the 2d of October.- The Democratic nomination for Con gress in this district, as it now looks, appears to be either James Edwin Moore, T. G. Skinner or Will. Shaw. Either would make a good representative and be a credit to the district. Dan. Griggs, of Powell's Point, Currituck county, killed a Poland China hog in Jan uary last, three years old, that weighed 700 pounds. How is that for high? Tarboro Southerner: The farm ers of Warren are very despondent. There has been for a long time a terrible drought. Capt. J. J. Whitehurst, who has just returned from a trip up there, tells us things are indeed in a bad way. We are sorry, very sorry. Col. Lott W. Humphrey says that Gov. Jarvis has grown more in the last four years than any public man of his acquaintance. Col. H. thinks him a broad, level headed, strong man. This coming from a political an tagonist pleases the Governor's friends. The same generosity prompted it perhaps that caused Mr. Blaine to admit that Mr. Conk ling among tbe Republicans of New York his life-long enemy was the brains of that party. Goldsboro Messenger: Prof. J. S. Midyette and his accomplished lady left yesterday for Wheatley, Arkansas, where he has been elected to the position of principal of the High School. " Three years expe rience at Davenport College 'and eight years as principal Of the Kins tou Institute have earned for the Professor the reputation of being an excellent teacher, and while we regret his leaving North Carolina, we yet congratulate the people who are to have his services in Arkansas upon their selection. Mrs. M. is likewise a talented lady and an ex perienced teacher. A novel cere mony, perhaps the first of the kind ever performed in North Carolina, took place in this city on Sunday last, at the residence of the Jewish Rabbi, Dr. Bloch. Mrs. Bertha Eve Berger, wife of Mr. Jos. Berger, renounced the Christian religion and made a formal profession of tbe Hebrew faith. But few persons were present, but we learn that the ceremony incident to the profession of faith was iu strict accordance with the orthodox Hebrew ritual and was very solemn aiid impres sive. The convert declared that neither persuasion nor selfish mo tives influenced her to take the step. Mr. Berger is an old and well known citizen of this county, and a He brew in faith. He came here prior to the war and identified himself with our people by marriage to the present Mrs. Berger, who is a na tive of tuis county. They have lived happily together some twenty five years, and all their children have long since embraced the He brew faith. Mrs. Berger is about 63 years old. Some Mitigating Circumstances. Texas Siftings. "See here, Sloshinger, I want to talk to you a moment," said an Austin philanthropist: "Don't yon know that you are not doing your duty by your children in not send ing them to school? That's not the way a fond father should treat his children." "Well, now, I don't know about that," replied Sloshing er. "I don't believe you fully re alize what you are talking about. Now I have a brother whose oldest son was sent up for two years for horse stealing, and the judge, in sentencing him, said his ignorance and lack of early education w ere strong mitigating circumstances in his case; and instead of making the sentence ten years, which he would have done had the boy ever received any education, he would make it 1 only two. Now, do you suppose I am going to rob my ooys of those mitigating circumstances that have ' already been such a bonanza in the family? No, sir; before. I do that. I hope my right arm will cling to the roof of my niout h." For Dyspepsia.

LONDON, September 11. A dispatch from Paris to the Exchange Telegraph Company states that M. Tseng. Chinese ambassador, prior to leaving Paris for London, communicated with M. Clialle mel Lacour, French minister of foreign affairs, relative to the reinforcement of the French forces in Tonquin. In leplv I M. Challemel Lacour said he could not j stop the dispatch of reinforcements : while there was danger of war; that this would only be removed by a settle ment of the basis upon which the treaty could be made. London, September 11. A dispatch from Hong Kong states that a ; hinese mob at Canton burned tho houses of sev eral European merchants, and also thoir wharves, causing great consternation among the foreign residents, the most of whom sought refuge on boaid thu vessels iu the river. No violence was offered to 1,1 1 1- persons, nnd a foce of Chinese tiooa was called out which quickly dispt-rseU the rioters. On re ceipt of the intelligence at Hong Kong several gun boats were immediately sent to Canton to afford protection to the foreign merchants. London, September 11.

A News San Antonio special says: M. D. Ward, cor respondent of the San Antonio Express. who had been drinking heavily since last night, was to-day in a bar room at llanrto uity talking witli Kobert U. t ty, son of Major Fly, a wealthy mine owner Of Mexico. The pair had several drinks together, when suddenly and without a word or warning Ward, with his pistol, shot Fly in the eye, killing him instant ly. He then rushed out shouting, "I am the Wild Bill that killed the. man." Just beyond the door he was halted by tne sheriff and is now in jail. Pensaoola, Fla,. September 13.

Shout ridge & Houghton, hardware, lose $8,000; partly insured. Sunny Clime, a newspaper published by deaf mutes, sustained a loss of $1,000; uninsured. The other losses are heavy and only partly insured. This city has no fire protection whatever. Washington, September 12. The sig nal corps station at Smithville, N. C, reports to the chief signal office that the maximum velocity of the wind there yesterday was 93 miles, and that its average velocity for six hours was 70 miles. Thirteen vessels and pilot baats are ashsre and sunk. Cannot learn the particulars yet. Norfolk, Va., September 13. The bankers, merchants and capitalists of Norfolk met to-day and resolved to subscribe all the money necessary to build a railroad to bring tbe Richmond & Danville system into Norfolk. George Scott and W. P. Clyde, members of the syndicate control ling and Richmond & Danville, were invited from Richmond to examine this harbor and its facilities. They report to-day in inspecting the shipping ad vantages and terminal facilities of the port. They will submit a proposition of a conference to the syndicate. Pesth, Sept. 13. The Remzet, the organ or the Prime Minister iizsa, ex presses fear that the outbreak in Croatia is well organized, and thut to suppress it effectually, additional troops will be needed. The Louisville Exposition. Ed. Journal: After traveling about eight hundred miles some what north of west for forty-two hours, I bavo reached the beautiful and flourishing city of Louisville, Ky., and have spent the day at the Southern Exposition. I left New Berne with tbe thermometer at 92. It stands to-night at 5S. I rode all day yesterday through Western North Carolina and Eastern Ten nessee, which is a land of wheat, corn, grass, clover, cattle and hogs; some tobacco, but not a stalk of cotton. Tho crops of corn and to bacco were fine, and the same can be said of the cattle and hogs. The Exposition is now in fine trim and is being well patronized. The attendance to-day has been very good, aud even larger to-night. Tho buildings and grounds are ele gantlylighted by electric lamps. The display of machinery, implements, furniture, fancy goods, carriages, paintings, ores, and products of tho soil is simply immense, and must be seen to be appreciated. The growing crops of cotton, to bacco, initio maize, etc., were of interest to mo. To-morrow I will see more of the city and the churches. G. A. Louisville, Sept S, 1883. Stonewall Items- Our postmaster has had quite an ad dition made to his shop. Cotton worms have made their pearance too late for much damage. ap- Miss Pauline Whitehurst is in the vil lage on a visit to her friends, and they are no few. Mrs. Henry Daniels died at her home a day or so since. She had been iu feeble health for a long time. A northeast storm has been prevailing here since Monday morning. During last night the wind blew a gale and rain fell in torrents. Over fivo inches fell within the last 24 hours. The population of Pajn'ico still con tinues to increase, immigration or no immigration. Mr. Jas. R.

Iladder has added to his saw mill one of Hedge's log carriages and is adding some 30 feet to the length of his mill house and new tracks to carry off the immense amount of himber he is having sawed. Mr. L. P. Midyett, of South creek, has been very sick for the past week of hemoragic fever, his friends having des pared of his recovery; but Dr. Attmore. his attending physician, reports his symptons more favorable and if no un favorable turu takes place, has hopes of his recover-. Mr. Sheldon Sawyer was the recipient from his better half of a fine boy. The doctor says that Sheldon thinks it a man: and well he might as it is the first time iu eight years. So one would sup pose it ought to be of fair size. I don t believe that it would hardly be possible to make Sheldon mad just now, he is 111 such tine humor. The storm very materially injured all late crops. There is no estimating tlie damage correctly. Mr. W. H. Jacobs of Smith ' 'reek came in for a small i share of damage, having his smoke stack blown down and his wharf knocked up somewhat, and the tide was up around his boiler nearly high enough to hil it without a pump. There is to bo a Christian con vention at Chicago, September 19, JO, presided over by Dwight L. .Moody, at which over 1,000 minis tcis and gospel workers will be I present. The r.iu hcciie at Dilhii d-i ille Alp.. Editor: Shocking and pleasing events are hourly flushed across electric wires pertaining to the nations of tho erth and the columns of "Associated Press" bear daily news, carrying weal or woe to the fireMdes of thousands of people to us unknown. While tlie great busy commcrcinl p.nt ,( our world has been driving ahead at a whirligig pace, attracting the notion ,,f multitude)-, there has transpired in the middle por tion of our county of Craveu an event which may not agitate the reat public mind. but. will cause a tliiilj of joy U pulsate through the hearts ol the people who participated in the gay and joyous festivities at IMM.ARDVILX.E on the Till inst., when ever iei::tlled to their memory. The news sped, not, by menus of fleet runners bearing charred cross, nor, over quivering wires, that upoi the ahovti named date and at tbe place designated the yeomanry of Craven would assemble with their appetites in eood repair to do battle against tho array of barbecue there entrenched behind model bread - worss Mia alluring viands, supported oy rajiiKner s "Winegar" battery. At uie appointed-hour many of the sum moned had appeared upon the field, wiine in me distance from variolic Ai. ing the spot set apart as the tiHn,n. of the host. Upon the arrival Of each party they were marshaled by, Messrs. Dillard and Hanner and assigned places in the line; soon mature age, giddy youth and in fancy were gathered beneath the elm and mimosa's shade into a happy throng, each one bent upon enjoviDg the happy occasion, and their loud peals of merry laughter blended with strains of en livening music was wated over the fields and died away upon the bosom of the majestic Neuse. Every detail having been arranged for the encounter the order was given to advance, which waa obeyed with promptness and in a short space of time many pigs that were once happy with-a curl in their tail were placed where their squeals will be heard no more forever. All parties being satisfied with the engagement and with the "winegar" ceased to call on Faulkner and retired to recount the exploits of the fray. After a refreshing rest of about two hours th string band, led by Daniel Tables, commenced to send foiih its stirring sounds of music; soon old and young were engulfed in the mazes of giddy dance, while those who preferred to be spectators discusse almost every thing mechanical from a cambric needle to Bartholdi's statuteof Liberty, and all things political from Magna Charta to Vance's speech on tariff and cotton ties. Thus the scene progressed until 4 p. ni. when the royal set was formed com posed or the following gallant men, fair women and beautiful children: Mrs. Fannie Mallison, Misses Hattie Dillard, Bettie Mallison, Carrie Dillard, Carrie Barnes, Barnes and Minnie Mal lison; Messrs. W. S. Phillips. John Thorp, A. II. Holton, Elijah Tolson, Benj. Mallison. Billie Mallison' and Mastr Hugh Dillard. This set remained upon the floor aboutan hour, then gave place to others. The music and danc ing continued until supper was an- nounced as being readv and nlilini.rh the dusky shades of evening were fall ing, the beaming countenance of Mr. Dillard shone far down the lone- table among debris aud piles of good things like a bright t.tar struggling amid the clouds. Once more the dancers and musicians took their places upon the floor and were soon lost to all 'houghts pf dull care. Although the votaries at the (-brine of Bacoheus had done ample duty to the god during the entire day, naught but happiness and friendly feelings seemed to pervade the breasts of all present. Among the number of spectators pres ent who looked on as intently and in terested as would a board of critics at an exhibition of terpsichorean art we noticed Esq's Fo? and Mallison, Dr. Mallett. Messrs. John Pittman, Wm. Wind, Eugene Haskett. "Brick" Porter and last but not least Irwin Faulkner, who said that he was a leader in the Free Will Baptist Church, but he could beat any man on the ground cutting the "double shuffle," and to back his state ment gave a side-show exhibition -of his skill to the delight of all beholders. The 7th had passed too swiftly upon the wings of time for the gay revellers and until the dawn of day upon 'the 8th the air around was resonant with sounds of mirth and glee from some of the partici pants, while others entwined in the arms of morpheus, no doubt .dreamed they were in fairy land and. that John Dillard, his wife and Wm. Flanner were conducting them through devious labyrinths and plains pleasing to the senses and had left them to blissful re pose for aye. How many promises were made never to be fulfilled, and how many longings for a return of other hours of such real pleasure were ox pressed we have no means of ascertain ing, but from the hearty adieus ex pressed, we believe all wished in the depths of their hearts, that Wm. Flan ner might live long and prosper and always be able to entertain so royally. T. Richlands Letter. Editor Journal: I notice in last issue the bill of lading for your back subscription. You got in just ahead of the storm which is now iu progress, which will claim some damage to cotton and with some an extension of time for debts, look out for your paper, as we have our hands full down here. Your correspondent traveled just be hind you in your trip through upper Jones and Lenoir some time ago, as to quality of crops we agree fully, but as to cider, j-ou are no judge; such as we call vinegar, you call good cider, for reference, many citizens. Come little oftener for recreation. We welcome you to this section next time, the garden spot of Eastern Carolina, Richlands, appropriate of all that is good, with an extention'of its literal meaning of pro ductiveness, to matters of church as well as state. The convict force recently moved their quarters to one an 1 half a miles of White Oak river, the lards would be a paying investment at twenty dollars per acre for hundreds of acres in that section. We fear that the storm will atop work for a while. Mclver is an efficient and as good a Superintendent of such work as the State can put here. Some speculations in political futures, not niucii stock taken in independent ism yet awhile. Our people are all railroadmen but don't know bow to proceed to build one. En lighten us if you can. send a man with plenty money and wo will back him up sure. The latent news is about Mime little duck, having lost their mother, an old sow took compassion. sucklrd4 and raised every one of them for further particulars apply to your Swansboro correspondent.

Ground is broken for a brick building aa joining a. w. Thomas. T. H. B. Myers is putting up an en gine for a cotton seed oil mill, ipjcU to oe at work by nnddlo of October. Mr. Bonner is turning the main shaft, which Is 0i feet long, bv 8 inches in diameter. Mr. A. W.

Mr. Pinner is repairing the engine from tho burnt steimer Knter prixe for it. The complimentary notice of Pmf. Joynor in a late number of the JoruNAL nas aroused the spiritual tadigoation of "Justice," who loads liavih, aud, does nothing, except vent, his ire and betray his ignorance. I must say that "Jostle" can get as many errors into, as iuli space aa Injustice could, and must surely have been in a darker corner than J. Had he manifested a much VWaaiuon sense as seal, be would har kaowa that there was no reflection on the Superintendent, but strangers 'who do not know the. Superintendent (a I do) to be a high-toned, earnest gentleman, might infer from "Justice's ''misplaced o misguided zeal in his defence, that he might be charged with something, and hence, --Justice's" seal to put as off the track; in so doing-he does the Super intendent a great and manifest wrong. When I wrote the article complimenting Mr. Joyner's address but one other ad dress had been delivered as I afterward learned. I am not deserving of censure because people did not think H merited compliments. --Justice'' savs that Lhs average attendance was 25, but the Superintendent says .that it was only 15 5-11 and that the largest number pres ent on any day was 21. "Justice's" estimation of the number of Visitors' present was about . as enormous as hie statement in regard to the number of teacher. If the story of George Wash ington's hatchet ever made any impres sion on ' Justice's" mind I fear it was erased ere he wrote . his defence of the Institute, and the' Superintendent against wnom nocnargenad been made. I now turn ''Justice "over to the Sunday School teachers of tbe town, hopiag the may prove beneficial to them. . Pamlico Items. Prof. Shaw is teaching our iu bits school. .', We miss the genial face of Esq. Dean. He has gone north. Mrs. D. T; Carraway and Miss Annie Morris, of New Berne, are visiting rela tives here. .

The eost Of it so far has been almost entirely borne by the citizens. It was probably too big an undertaking for the place, but we still have faith in our subscription ..lists, which are large enough to bring us nut all right. Tlie death of Dr. Kennedy, however, will be sadly felt; he had promised to do the handsome thing by us. ... i n- According to the Enterprise, our Coun ty commissioners have, offended aome body by jailing the paupers, Thjre is no great saving, it is true. 'in taking them from the poor boaae and alomiouV ingthemin the jail, unless the .jailer, keeps the poor: But our county' fathers' have demonstrated the fact that their pred ecessors comm itted . , the ex,traTa; Kuuce oi uunumg one nou&e .too many.

Mr. H. C. Bowen, of Catharine Lake, desires to announce that he has lost a package of books. They were sent by express to "Catharine Lake, . Onslow county, N. C.,"but have not yet arrived. He will be glad to learn where they are. Vandemere Items. D. H. Abbott, Esq., will soon put up a jute mill here. The mill has already arrived. Mr. J. R. McColter's wharf at Vande mere was partly destroyed by the storm on Monday night. Mr. J. R. McCotter lost a fine mule on the 8th inst. with staggers, or a little too much hard driving one. We are now having fresh oysters every day or so. but fresh fish are get ting to be very scarce iu our market. Mr. A. P. Barnes sold some very fine sweet potatoes in our little town last week.

Cotton, corn and rice was looking very tine in the neighborhood of Vande mere up to Saturday night the Hth lust. Since then we had a very severe storm of rain and wind which has damaged cotton, corn and rice very much and the farmers that were not done saving fodder have lost large quantities of it on account of the corn being blown down.
