Is the Collegiate Institute, the Iliyli School of this city, up to it point of eili cioncy that our people arc salislietl with ss correspondiog with the impirUiot io.i tion New Berne holds amon the cities of the State? We do Lot believe that there is one in a deifen of our citizens who feel this is U ie case arj-t re&ts autistied with the condition and piominence of the school. If the school does not hold the phicc in the eyes of the public it should whnne fnilt is it ? Wc are soiry to so.- t but to a verj large extent it is the fault of our own people. They do not uuitu ftnd stay united on educational uiutUrs as hc should. Who, is there of our citijiiirs that was here just prior to the change of tlie schuty in the old New Berne Academy to a sirud- rd school thiit dix not reinnnilx-r tf t deplorable cmditiou of our edii'-iitio.i;!! senrice at that time? How the hole city was dot'.e I over wiih private h '!fi, Duntbers ofthetu, beyond question, pre sided ever by able teachers but who-e efforts by leing tints divided weio weak ened so that tliere was not a school in the place th fit could command outside ;ut- n- tion, ri-npict aul patronage of Buy conse quence. Then it can be rememboreil a 'so what a change was wrought when by strong ehbrts of ttie lenders of thought the schools wire brought together and the Graded School, under the .scholarly Prof. D. B. Johnson resulted. Who Hint was here then does not lemoinive.- thcrxi-cl- lence of that school, the fine service it rendered and the iiride th.it our im p''- fell in it - But. aUt! Giaduillv. and almost with out . public realizttioii tf it St rirbt, there was a changa luck to the old order. The aupport cf the school was picked away pucvuieal by a little school here anil a little schoot tlKTC until wiih all the clfort that could be put forth, the. question nl advanceraent began to be a h ird thing even to keep tho school up to the puiut already attained n quiring vigorous eil'ort on the part of tha faculty mid the ihoughtfurtnends ol the .school. Division makes it almost, if not quite Impossible to keep the school up to what a city of thi size shoo hi have. . We ought to have a Sue high school here that will attract patronage irom all the surrounding country, but to have such a school hikes then good buildings and grounds., It takes also nvuo than good teacher;!. It takes the co-oporution of the citizens in general, aud their hearty co-operation at that. The time for another scholastic year to open is a. baud. Let our people go to thinking. Let them think quick and wisely and act accordingly. Come to gether and build up a school worthy in every way of the city we live in. It can be done and it should be dune. Canlac aa4 Clolna;. JIou.

The Thrwt'oonln In th Indictraentit AgKlnnl the DefendnntM in the Benn rrt Innnrnnee Ciweit. Morehead City, N. C, Aug. 3. To day the Board eif County Supervisors met in Beaufort, and the tnag:stratos in the in surance cases arc members of the board and one of them is chairman. The case was uot eons'ulerexl tenia-, but it was more talked of thau U lore. Public sentiment seems to mo to be divideil, with a large majority of the people neutral uuel saying nothing. Very naturally Beaufort people elo not condemn well known citizens of grievioas crimes until they are found guil ty. BuLlhe sensational evidence that has been . brought out in the trial this week has caused many people to change their minds. The State attempts to prove three charges: 1, fraud; 2. forgery; 3, conspira cy. The first has been conclusively proved. The secoud is strongly evidenced ij the eates of Silas Blount. Scmuel Wil liams, William Fisher, anil others. But conspiracy as oue ot tlie most subtle crime in the calonilar. It must be proved almost entirely by circumstantial evidence. Men don't gather ou the street corner like medicine verniers and say. ''Come up, boys, we are going to have a conspiracy, now. ' If it exists it is secret, under ground and it is hard to dig up theso bur ied pipe lines. The State has introduced a large muss of circumstantial evidence, but whether this is strong enough to prove conspiracy remains to be seen. The defence will, I understand, no I in troduce any large amount of evidence un less conspiracy is more particularly proved by the State's evidence. Tho court room is the hall of the Teacher's Assembly. A crowd of inter ested listeners, "aii sorts and conditions if men.'" from the summer tourist to the negro hsuernian, gamer eacn nay anei lslen eagerly to the testimony. When some uiuisuiltv sensational pit is orougni ut a murmur of surprise pasr.es ovor the crowd. To most of the m it is like lead ing the book of Revelations. It is charged that Samuel Williams, who has not borne a good name, mur dered his wife to obtain the insurance and this is where the charge) of nmrejcr comes in, but I ni informed by parties who know hii wife lhat though there was doubticss neglect during her hist illness; ilw do not believe he murdered her. Il is not probable-, lhat any charge of mur der will grow out 01 these insurance trials. One promini nt gentleman said to me to eiay. "Everybody kuew they were eloing loose business but nobody had auy idea it was so wide spread as it is." Peo ple here have changed their niinels since the trial began. Leading citizens of Beau fort say that if fraud aud forgery has been committed they w ant the thing prolneel to the bottom: if the thirteen iuvolvcel are innocent they want them released. It ha been tajkeel that dead men were insured and names put iu insurance policies after they were eirrieel to the gravoyard, but this has not been brought out and may be only street talk. 1 have been informed that in the straits, the thickly settled countrv that stretches along the banks of Core Sound, there have been flagrant fiauels on insuiance eompanii-s. .V coii liimcel invalid is aid to have liccn in sured not long lieforo his death. I don't know whether the agents will investigate this or not. Specul by .lohu Wilbcr Jonkins to the News anel Observer. t reo Vlll Ittiptiut M eel I ii sis. Kev.W. II.

Jame B. Avirett, a e h-rgyman, is now a resident of Kiltrell, Vance county, in this State. He doubtlesss can give Mr. Rivers ail the information he seeks. Rev. Mr. Avirett is a son of John A. Avirett, mentioned by Mr. Fivers, and was for many years a resident of New Berne, tvliere he practised law in puttni-r-ship with the late Hon. Wm. II. Wash ington in 1857-8-9. Mr. Avirett had a brother, Captain John A., who was killed in battle in the late war. His sister, Miss Carrie, married and lived iu Winchester, Va , where she was very active anel prominent in tlie es tablishment of tho "Stonewall"' cemetery for our Confederate Dead, in which North Carolina lias more suhliers buried than any other State. Ghaiiam Daks. Mr. Rivers also made inquiry about the history of Onslow anil Pender omuLes. We no not know of any history of them having been written, but we copy iho following brie t sketch of theni from the "Hand Bok of North Caroiioa" eompj'eei by the late Hon. L. L.

The worst part of the accident was the result on the freight train. One passenger on that was so badly injured that was so badly injured that lie could not live.
