' In the way of getting beef to eat, the

A New Bernian who had taken about

The steamer Carolina seems to have a
run of bad luck. Her first boiler was
condemned and had to be replaced with
a new one, and after this was put in
one of the boxes about the machinery

news comes that she went to the bottom
near Snow Hill a day or two ago with a
cargo of cotton aboard. A bad begin
ning generally makes a good ending:

At a recent meeting of the Light j
House Board, a resolution amend ing the
rules for the government of the service !
was adopted, requiring all employees to I
wear a prescribed uniform while on '
duty, the same to go into effoct on May ;
1st, next. From the published circu- j
lars it seems that John Wanamaker. of i
Philadelphia is to furnish the uuiforms. j
which, by the way, is no small job, as 1
there are over a thousand employees in ;
that service, exclusive of clerts and I
others. There are sixteen keepers in 1
our own district. The prices are ;17 ,
and S21. according to selection.
In 1SS3. as we gather from Bra.1- '

capital invested in the South in business. '
amounted to Soo.-i? 1 .000. North Caro- !
lina had Sol. 519. 000. The number of
traders in the South was 95. 022; in North ;
Carolina 0.939. The number of failures ;
in the South 1 .03S. or 1 iu 92. and averag- j
ing S9.000. The number of failures in
North Carolina was or 1 in M . and !
averaging $7. 400. In the whole country
in lf73. there were 54-. ISO failures. '
this was the year of the panic': in
lSKh there were 703.32S: in 1SS3. vjs

traders was I in ,".i! ; m Ismi. it is 1 in

Postmasters verv often have to bear
the blame of other people's carelessuuss.
We were shown an instance of this on
Fridav. A prominent merchant of
this city, one who is accurate and pains
taking in business, mailed a letter con
taining a check for a considerable
amount of monev to a man m Kmst- n.
Davs. weeks rol'ici by and nothing
could be heard from the letter. Some

A number of citizens of the city tell
of feeling a decided shook Friday
morning about S o'clock. Thev say that
the trembling of the earth was quite
sensibly felt, and that the crockery on
the shelves of soir.-1 of our merchants
rattled quite audibly .
As for ourselves, the shock was about
our rising time and we did not notice
it. in fact it was unknown to us until
we heard of it on the streets.
We shall await the reports of neigh
boring towns and country with interest
on the subject. It is supposed to have
been an earthquake, and we feel curious
to know how near to us it was.
Later. We learn that the shock was
felt in Beaufort, Newport, and also at
Richmond. Va.

In the death of Mr. Elijah Ellis the
city of New Berne losos one of her most
useful citizens. It has been our pleas
ure, since moving to New Berne, to
converse with him often on matters
concerning the interest, welfare and
progress of the city and we were always
impres-t-d with his sound judgment,
discriminating mind. and. above all.
his earnest desire to see justice done to
all. He was the owner ot the rice mill
in this city which has helped to make
this one of the best markets for that
grain in Eastern Carolina. He was also
the owner of the schooner ildcin
the
only boat that has been engaged in
trade between the West Indies and this
port for several years. As a token of
the high regard io whjch he was held
by the Atlantic Fire Company, of which
he was a member, the assembly room
of 1 1 . e company was d raped in mourning.

to do anything for the brave boys in
gray further than to ameliorate abject
poverty and furnish a few artificial :
limbs to the maimed patriots. Because
we of the South cannot properly take
care of her veterans, it would seem a
poor excuse for objecting to the general
government doing full justice to those
to whom it is indebted.
One of our New Farmers.
Mr. Gerrett Vine, late of Michigan,
who now owns a farm at Havelock. in
this county, dropped in to see us Thurs
day, when we asked:
"Well. Mr. Vine, how many acres
are you going to put in cotton this year'.'
"None at all. "
"Ah, going to truck it. "
"No sir. "
"Well, you are going to farm, are you
I not.-'
"I Oivq a farm dos-n at H ivelo :k, bu:
I propose to make ha v. I have four
acres in wheat as an experiment anl it
is looking well. I have put in forty
acres iu oats, orchard grass and clover.
I expect to get a crop of oats off it this
year, and the next a crop of grass. "
"I guess you think it will pay better
than cotton or truck."'
" Well, I cal ;ulate it this way: In
Michigan we make about two tons to
the acre and sell it from eight to ten
dollars per ton. Hay generally sells
here at 5520 to 825 per ton; but suppose
we get only S15, and onlj- a ton aud a
half to the acre. The cost of making
will not exceed 63.00, which will leave
about 518.00 per acre net profit, and after
getting off the hay we have a goo d pas-
ture for cattle-
The large amount of hay sold iu this
market every year, and at good prices,
would indicate that Mr. Vine is correct
in his calculations; tha". is, he is correct
in thinking that it w iil pay better tin. u
cotton, if he can make it at the cost In'
estimates. If he can make a n. t pr tit
of 81.Y0J per acre, yea 10.00 per ncr
it w ill pay far better than tiie average
crop of cotton.

Col. F. C. Morehead attended the
quaiterly nieeting of the State Board of
Agriculture on Wednesday evening last
in the interest of the " World 's Expo
sition and Cotton Centennial" to be held
at New Orleans next winter. He made
a speech before the Board and pointed
out the interest being taken by other
States in the Exposition and urged th
importance of North Carolina's being
represented. We copy a portion of his
remarks as given in the Sews an.l Ob
server: " T but voice the opinion I heard wher
ever I traveled, that the display made
by North Carolina at Boston was the
best in all respects ever made by a
State. I learn that you propose to hold
a State Exposition here next autumn. I
am glad of it There is no conflict be
tween that and our international undar
taking I am not here to ask your sub
scription to the New Orleans enterprise.
All the funds necessary for that purpose
have been already secured. But when
you get through with your State dis
play, there will be plenty of time for a
transfer to the Crescent City.
"To show how- wide the interest is in
our own lancl- I need but instance Da
kota. The Governor of thnt far distant
Territory has promised me that he will
send a splendid displ.-.y of the mineral
and natural wealth, mai tie- peculiar
relics of prehistoric times that abound
there. Tho great point for North Caro
lina now is to determine to make an ex
Inbit. and to Secure s s.Ce im mod late' y .
I urge this, because your State has
gained a national reputation a! re idy for
I being in the very forefront of progress.
and by taking this step you will help
forward this enterprise in all the States
and in 'Congress also. Ilv deciding at
once, you will also stimulate y, ur agri
culturists to plant and cultivate with
extra care for the sake of exhibiting
their agricultural product next fall
both h-ie anil yt New Orleans 1 think
lheh:ghe-t m 17." is within y-.ur isv a-p.
if you will Out c-eneto an 1 mm- .1 i ite
decision. Yo-.ir success at I'ost..n v. as
1 not merely a victory over
1 CO.Mllletl-
tors there. but it hail a higher sigiiih
I canoe, for in that exhibit you surpassed
1 anything in history. "The Lord l 'v, th
a cheerful giver. " and if North ( 'arolit.a
takes the stand she ought, th 111 r il

A sic-ft time ago w e j ublished an
item iu these columns appealing to any
;. r-ons. who might have in their pos
session any of the records pertaining to
the custom house at this port prior to
lr-02. or any knowledge as to the where
abouts of such records, to furnish the
same either to the Secretary of the
Treasury, at Washington, D. C or the
Collector of Customs. New Berne.
The records of our custom house, from
the organization of the district in 1790.
contains much of historical information
m w hich many ot oui prominent, anu
distinguished families are interested
and iu which every citizen of New
Berne ought to have a State and Na
tional pride in securing, as well on ac
count of the kinship of many of the act
ors therewith connected during the in
fancy of our Republic, as to their dis
tinguished lineage now living.
The District of Beaufort. N. C. was
formed from that of New Berne by Act
of March 2rd. 1803. and judging from
the official books there on file, there
must hiive been much of historical in
terest contained in tho last records to
which we are calling attention.
Letters of Marque at that time were
issued through the collectors of cus
toms, the applications being made
through those ofllccrs. and by them for
warded to the Secretary of State. Re
ports connected with the operations of
the priveteers were required to be made .
by t i.e commanding officers of such ves- j
se'.s to the chief officers of customs. !
Wo
;rn from the Journal of the
executive rrooeeuings 01 me united 1
States, volume 1. pages 87. 39. 102. 04 i
and ill that 111s excellency, oeorge
Washington. President. nominated
Major John Daves to be collector of
customs of the port of New Berne and
that he was confirmed the same date
February 0. 1790. ond again on March 6.
1792. was nominated by President Wash
ing as Inspector of Surveys and Ports
of No. 2 Survey for North Carolina,
District and Port of New Berne, and was
confirmed March S, 1792. Major Daves
was the first collector appointed under
the Federal Government and the honor
was conferred by General Washington
as a reward for faithful service ren
dered his country as an officer of the
North Carolina Continental Line.
We hope that among our numerous
readers there may be those who may be
able to supply the information called
for.
