Mr. Frazelle is in full possession of vigorous facalties and ordinarily is very industrious. Smith Branson. Last night in the Presbyterian church of Orangeburg, S.

The clerk of the court was instructed by the Judge to send a warrant for bis arrest to the sheriff of Wake county with instructions to arrest Shaw upon bis discharge. The sheriff returned the warrant sayiDg that Shaw was working on the State farm in Halifax. Mi . Murphy accordingly sent the warrant to the sheriff of Halifax.

The social season was opened last night with the Easter german. The LaFayette ball room was brilliantly lighted, but none too brilliant to show off the pretty faces and superb costumes of the fair dancers. There were about twenty-five couples, and a more enjoyable dance we never witnessed. The Big Six Orchestra furnished fine music, but when tbey sfruck up "Home, Sweet Home," at a. m., there was much dissatisfaction. A number of strangers were present, but lack of space prevents their enumeration. Episcopal Convocation meets to-morrow.
