A Daring Touta.
A friend of Cypress Creek, Jones
county, wites us that Ignatius Brock, a
boy of nfteen summers, and a son of
the famous hunter, Isaac Brock, was
out hunting near the Onslow county
line on Thursday when the dogs jumped
a bear, driving him to his stand. Nace
though a good distance from the other
hunters, stood his ground and fired up
on the bea twice crippling him in one
leg. The dogs then crowded him so
close he took to a tree, Nace followed
up and poured in two more rounds
which brought bruin to the ground.
When the other hunters came up he
was sitting alone by the bear while the
dogs had taken the track of another and
left. Ignatious bids fair to equal his
father as a hunter. He has pluck and
courage that few boys possess.
Convincing Ike tVroag Oat.
A few days ago we wrote an article
on Agriculture in which we labored to
show that there was more real pleasure
and profit on a farm than anywhere
else. We were not thinking at the time
about a farmer boy whom we had taken
to learn the printer's trade, and little
did we think that our own arguments
would be turned against us so soon.
Our farmer boy did not reflect long after
reading that article before be rave no
tice that there was a hankering in his
mind for the farm, and so last Monday
be bade us adieu and mnde bis depart
ure on the steamer TVeni and will get
to Jones county in ample time to assist
in housing the present crop and pitch
ing another. We will be careful about
writing on this subject hereafter until
we are certain mat our printers are too
lazy to want to farm.

After careful examination it was de
cided to employ Rev. I.' B. Mack for
one third of his time as a canvassing
agent, for the purpose of increasing the
endowment of the college and to in
crease the number of students. It was
also decided to employ a Professor to

of a meeting held there in the in

were so crowded with the proceedings
of the - Jacksonville meeting that we
could not publish it. Our correspond
ent spoke in very complimentary terms
of the speech made by Capt. E. R. Page
of Trenton., Mr. Pearsall of Trenton
also made a good speech. We trust
that these meetings will result in some
thing more than' mere resolutions and
speeches. We don't know of a section
of country more in need of transporta
tion facilities than that of Richlands;
and it is for their benefit that we have
kept steadily before the public the work
on the Quaker Bridge' .road, which is
likely in the near future to be of sub
stantial benefit to them.

The Corn Crop.
The New York Time of the llth inst.
contains the following dispatch from
Chicago relative to the corn crop:
In all the four Northern Corn States
much loss . has inured from the use of
seed from Kansas, and Nebraska, the
Slants from which in almost every case
ave failed to mature rapidly enough to
ipe the frosts, and the experiment
will not probably be repeated -again.
This loss by the recent frosts,' if not in
creased by others within the next few
days, will be about 70 per cent, in Wis
consin and Michigan, 50 per cent iu
Northern Indiana,-and 25 per cent in
Northern Ipwa.' The dispatch adds
that the frosts were killing, and that
worse statements than those given are
expected to come in."
If these statements are true it will be
safe to presume that corn will be high
next spring and summer, and blessed
will be the farmer who will have a few
bushels to spare.

In bur Weekly issue of this week C.
E. Foy & Co. send out a new and large
advertisement, in which they offer to
send the New Berne Weekly Journal
to the first of January to any of their
customers who may write for it free of
charge. Mr. roy knows the advanta
ges of advertising in a paper that circu
lates through the country; he knows
that the greater the circulation of the
ner the more people will see what he
oing, therefore he seizes every op
portunity to help us to extend our cir
culation. We are under obligations to
him for sending us several new subscri
bers and we certainly appreciate the of
fer he is making now to his customers,
If all our merchants would speak a
word for the Journal to their custom
ers it would aid us in extending our cir
culation, and make it a better medium
for advertising their goods. We know
how to value such favors; they are proof
to us that onr efforts to make a paper
worthy of the patronage of the citizens
of New Berne are being appreciated.
Lenoir Superior Court.
From W. E. Clarke, Esq., who at
tended Lenoir Superior Court we learn
that the court adjourned, for the term,
Friday night.
The most important suit tried was the
contest over the will of Richard W.
King, Esq.
Uur readers will remember that
Richard King, the adopted son of Rich
ard W. King, tiled a caveat before the
Probate Judge, disputing said will, and
claiming the property as heir at law.
The young man, who is about nineteen,
was well represented by George V.
Strong, H. F. Grainger, Daniel E. Perry
and F. B. Loft in.
The heirs and devisees under the will
were represented by George Davis, W.
T. Dortch, Wooten & Gray, A. J. Loftin
and Wm. E. Clarke.
The jury was selected with as much
care as if it had been a capital case. In
fact considerable capital, to the tune of
about eighty thousand was the prize
contended for, and "money makes the
mare go."
The first skirmish was over the re
moval of the case. The counsel for
Richard King filed a long affidavit and
backed the same by' two long and
earnest speeches. They were met bv
tne otner siae witn eignt amaavits irom
the chairman of the Board of Commis
sioners, Superintendent of Public In
struction and other prominent gentle
men saying they believed he could have
a fair trial in Lienoir. The Judge de
clined to remove the cause. The jury
having been duly empaneled, counsel
for the will introduced the subscribing
witnesses to tne will, proved its execu
tion in due form and then read it and
rested their case.
The counsel for Richard King then
rose and offered the petition in the
adoption case of Richard Taylor, chang
inghis name to King and contended
that it was a will and revoked the first
will. They also tendered certain wit
n esses to prove certain remarks of the
testator, after such paper had been
drawn. They cited several cases and
contended that this paper revoked the
will and that Richard W. King had no
will.
George V. Strong ably and earnestly
argued this point in a long and learned
speech.
He was replied to by Hon. George
uavis at lengtn. Brief arguments were
also made by Messrs. Wooten and
Clarke and an exhaustive and conclu
sive resume of the North Carolina cases
made by Hon. W. T. Dortch.
Judge Strong again took the floor and
labored earnestly to support his pesi
tion. Judge Frederick Philips promptly
ruiea against tne paper writing, and ex
eluded the parol evidence offered, and
told the jury they must find for the will
if they believed the witnesses. A ver
dict establishing the will was rendered
and judgment so entered. The counsel
for Richard King gave notice of an ap
peal to the Supreme Court. The inter
est was very great among the specta
tors, several hundred of the most intel
ligent citizens of the county being pres
ent during the entire trial.
uv the win as established the vounor
man gets $500, and a good plantation of
sou acres. The widow gets
one-third of the land for life and one-
half of the personal property. The re
mainder, after some legacies, goes one
half to the West and the other half to
the Nick Hunter children.
Vavlaatlon of New ana White Oak
River, tho Hounds ansl TrtbBtnrtas.
We present on the inside or second
page of this paper, extracts from a care
fully prepared report on the present
condition of navigation in Bogue and
Brown sounds. White Oak and New
rivers, made by Maj. Wm. A. Hearne,
who has lately been over the ground in
the interest of the line of inland navi
gation represented by the New Berne
and Beaufort, and Albemarle and
Chesapeake Canal Companies. The in
formation presented is of interest to the
people of Onslow and portions of Car
teret and Jones, and of value to the
public, for if the facts relating to this
navigation and the facilities for its im
provement are as stated, and the im
provements can be made for two or
three times the estimated cost, it is
difficult to Bee how Congress could fail
to vote the necessary appropriation if
the proper effort was made to secure it.
We trust the readers of the Journal
will carefully read and study the report,
and be prepared to sign the memorial to
Congress for aid to improve this inland
navigation, which we understand is in
course of preparation for circulation by
the inland people throughout Craven,
Carteret, Jones, Onslow etc.

Ms. Editor: Seeing in the Jones
county items the question asked what
has become of B. F. Stilly and Quaker
Bridge, I would like for them to hear
from me. 1st. I will state that my
cause for not ' commencing the work
sooner was for the want of material to
work on. I contracted with Mr. J. F.
Heath the middle of August for all my
heavy timbers, to be delivered the first
of September, but owing to the storm
and a broken down steam mill, he was
not able to deliver me the lumber until
to-day. I shall start to Quaker Bridge
this evening three hours from the time
I receive the material.
I contracted with other parties
in New Berne for flooring and
banistering, but cannot state the cause
why it has not been delivered, but I
shall proceed to work and hope, if I
dont have the misfortune that my
friend, . who is building Hookerton
Bridge did, that I will soon be able to
give my friends of Jones county, and
the public at large, a good substantial
bridge; and when the work is completed
I hope, and expect, they will remit
specie payments instead 01 paper cur
rency. Respectfully,
B. F. Stilly.

RRPLY TO W. D.
Your correspondent, at the suggestiou
of a friend wrote last week an article
in reference to the Quaker Bridge Road
and another item in regard to the cele
bration of the laying of the corner stone
of the jail of this county, one, or both.
of which items has, or have, seriously
"disgruntled" a certain individual who
claims to be a quondam friend of your
correspondent one "W. D."
His reply, if it may be dignified bv
that name, was at least ingenious if not
ingenuous. As to the discussion, as to
the cultivation of cotton, etc., which he
claims to have occurred between our
selves; the consultation of the stars,
which is known as "Astrology;" the
disturbances of Venus, a favorite Inam
orato, itseemn, of W. D. ; the "butting
the bull off tho bridge" Quaker Bridge
by Mr. Foy; the slowness of Mr. Wil
son's walk, or the rapidity of Mr. Kin
sey's; the pedestrianism of Messrs.
Pearsall and Whitford and as to whether
Trenton, or the inhabitants thereof,
should be embalmed mummies, dogs,
ponies, house cats, etc., which he states
make the subjects of conversation be
tween ourselves, I have no remem
brance. Therefore, I could not have
been greatly benefitted by the imagin
ary or real conversation, howsoever
interesting- it might have been, or it
would not h avo faded so soon from
memory. Consequently my friend
must have been the gainer, to pursue
his beautiful line of reasoning, which is
so learned, bo abstruse and so clear.
yes, as "clear as mud."
Whether my learned friend has pur
sued the line of reasoning laid down by
Aristotle or tue "Baconian system" is
left for conjecture. I don't charge him
with either, judging from his "hair
splitting" arguments, I should take him
to be a disciple or neither.
At any event, whether Treuton is to
be visited by smallpox again or not, we
do truBt that our quondam friend may
not then be a sojourner in this modern
sodom, if she is so unfortunate as to be
thus afflicted,' because if he were it

described.
As to the unusual disturbances about
Venus to which my quondam friend
alludes; perhaps he had better consult
the moon, "For there are more things
in heaven and earth, Horatio, than thou
dreamest of in thy philosophy."
Your correspondent thinks it a little
unfair to be made a breast work of for
the purpose "W. D." intends that of
hurling bis arrows against his neigh
bor's friends. He protests that this is
taking advantage of the situation for
the purpose of demolishing two of his
friends, Messrs. Pearsall and Whitford.
the gentlemen will excuse me for de
fending them in this connection who
have a perfect right to walk upon their
accustomed rounds either of business or
pleasure. It is not even a mooted ques
tion whether "It is better that two men
should walk or one should ride." If
the one gentleman sees fit to walk to
see his clients for the purpose of collect
ing fees due him, and then afterwards
walks away from them, or the other
prefers walking to attend his numerous
schools, wherein that "latest fire" may
be' embodied. That "prome thean
spark," that may lie slumbering in the
soul of genius, which only awaits the
Master's hand to enkindle into a flame
of beauty and of splendor that per
chance may dazzle the world with its
brilliancy. If they per chance prefer
walking to do this, and such results as
the latter flow from a master stroke of
genius, who then can dare to doubt that
such are indeed pilgrimages to the
'Holy Landr"' Perhaps the very things
and the very objects of the gentleman's
ridicule may be turned into good and
holy uses.
But the irresistible "funniness" of
my quondam friend 's arguments reach
the climax where he says that if you
cease to lay corner stones for jails you
might as well do awav with the same
as to churches, court houses, etc., and
had it not have been for the rascalities
of Adam we would not have needed
such thing. It seems like begging the
argument, and toting a leetle unfair
when this "Sir Oracle," who has com
muned even with the stars. This high
authority should be reduced, the dire
necessity of going back 6,000 years for
the purpose of laying this charge upon
his paternal ancestors snouiaers, wny
don't he go back just a little further
and charge the devil with it at once?
Now I do trust and I hope I say it with
all reverence that it is ungrateful to
charge upon old Father Adam the cus
sedness of the present generation. The
argument is too far fetched, entirely
toov foreign to the subject. We trust
that the gentleman will come from be

We need at Maysville a physician,

them on. Now Mr. itemizer, I don't
know how it is up your end of the road,
but if you want to see lots of hogs and
a plenty to feed them with, you just
come down this way about a mile and a

Seems as if our hogs get something to
eat whether we feed tliem or not, and
don't you forget it.

The bridge at Trenton has some
dangerous holes in it which needs im

of logs in the river against the bridge
which needs clearing away.
Crops are very short in Jones. Not
over three-fourths of a crop of cotton
and not over two-thirds of a crop of
corn. The storm has nearly ruined all
the late corn in our swamp lands.
The people say why don't Mr. Stilly

The bridge would be a great convenience
to the people residing between Polloks
