We have received from Mr. Alex Mil ler an extra line strawberry, raised by Mr. Daniel Lane. It would have weighed at least an ounce. The Trent brought in on Sunday morning a load of very fine lumber from J. C. Whitty'8 saw mill at Polloksville. We learn that Mr. Whitty has an order for 300,000 feet from, a firm in Philadel phia. The iHldland Co. will soon begin dis tributing Bteel rails for the purpose of laying three miles of track just above here. The old iron taken from these three miles will be used in patching the road wheia it needs it, and for side tracks. Complaints are made by citizens from the country that the engineer on the Midland Railroad does not give suffi cient notice in hearing the public road near the city. The whistle is said to be sounded only' when very near the cross ing, and travelers are often in danger of being run over. Rev. S. H. Isler will preach at Semi nary Church on the second Sunday in May, in the morning and at Pollocks ville at night; at Richlands, Onslow county, on third Sunday in May, and at Brice s Creek Church on fourth Sunday in May and will organize a Presbyterian Church at.

Among other things taken out he has resurrected the Mary Frc a boat owned by Mr. Lewis,r which was sunk during the war.

Tired of Speculating- .'-.John Stricklin of Kinston,. with his two lieutenants, Roger, Sears and Lon Morton, was in the city on Friday on a beef speculation. He had heard of the high price of beef in New Berne, and bought up five fine Lenoir oxen to bring here on a little speculation. But tha New Berne beef men had a "corner" on him and finally John closed out to Capt. Southgate of the steamer New Berne for $120 just what they cost him net, with lids expense iu driving to New Berne to come out of his own pocket' He thinks of retiring from the market. Cieu.

Important Action. Tl Directors of the A. & N. C. R. It. at their meeting in Raleigh tbis week, passed au order, so we learn to-day, rescinding a former appointment of an agent to receipt for certain bonds held iu the Hank at New Berne in trust for the Midlaud Railwav and A. & N. C. R. R. It will be remembered that the land, in its lease of the Atlantic covenanted to keep the road in as condition as it was when received Mid road . good and. "n ""-"""J ' ""-i"1 '.vw m Bank at New Berne it being agreed that said money might be withdrawn Ijy tue Midland (.lOOO at a time) as la.st ten thousand dollars in new rolling stock should be added to the road, Hie Midland has put on the 10.000 in rolling stock and applied for fc 10,000 of the deposit: and at a meeting of the A. & N. C. Directors held heretofore. Col. J. D. Whitford was appointed as agent to receipt for the said 10,000 on the part of the Atlantic road, Now th j Directors rescind thatac- tion and v. ; suppose therein action 18 based on the- ground that Mr. Be6t hav ing violated one of the conditions of the Lease in mortgaging the road, has ren dered it possible for tlie Midland to be- t come unable to redeem its obligation about keeping the road inr gdoaVrepairV in that the rolling stock which has been add ed is now under mortgage. Jr We merely print ' news and rumors now andfnake no comment at present. . . Committee Jtleetlnc. Democratic Executive Committee met at W. G. -Brinson's office in pursuance of an order, from" M. D..W. Stevenson chairman. Present: F. M. Simmons, M. D. W. Stevenson, Thos. Mallison, Wm. Foy, V. A. Tolson W. G. Brinson, Dr. George. Slover, Samuel W. Latham, H. R. Bryan and.E. H.- Meadows. On mo tion of W. G. Brinson, E. H. Meadows was requested to act as secretary pro tem. ' - "' .' By request the plan of organization of the Democratic Party was read by the chairman. ' 1 On motion the 10th of June was ap pointed the time for holding the town ship meetings to send delegates; and for the election of Township Executive Committees, and the lath of June the time holding the County Convention at the Court House in New Berne at 11 o'clock a. m. On motion it was, resolved that if the chairman ascertains that there is no Township Executive Committees then he may appoint such committee pro tem for the purpose of profecting the plan of Organization. On motion the city papers are re quested to publish the plan of the party organization. M. D. W. Stevenson', Chairman. E. H. Meadows, Secretary pro tem. Nag's Head. In talking with Captain Sou thgate of the steamer New Berne, we learn that it is the intention of his company, after their new steamer comes on, to make an ef fort to secure some of f the summer ex cursionists for that noted seaside resort, Nag's Head. He says it is just as nice as at Beaufort and is cheaper; and that excursion rates will be very low front New Berne to Nag's Head, and the trip on his new steamer will be very de lightful. ' Will brother Creecy tell us something about Nag's Head ? While we never expect to go back on Beaufort and Morehead City, yet if Nag's Head is very nice, and- if excursion, rates , are made there right, it would.not be amiss for the Journal, readers to, know all about it and , to occasionally see some thing new in the excursion line. , And just here it might be well enough to state that this steamship line offers cheaper passenger rates to Norfolk for any one living east of Goldsboro than by any other route not quite three dol lars from here to' Norfolk. And we mention this, not to puff the Line,' but as a matter of some importance to Kin ston and La Grange business men. The route is a pleasant one, is fully as quick as by all rail, and we notice is very pop ular with the business men in this city going North. Dr. Slover'm School. We visited on Tuesday the school taught in this city by Dr. George Slover. The Doctor preserves in the school room the same modest and gentlemanly de meanor that ever characterized him at College and which shows in every ac tion of everyday life. The boys under his charge are in no fear of a tyrant, and yet keep first rate order, and stick to their work. They are governed by a sense of honor, and would scorn to act un gentleman 1 y . .The teaching, so far as we could loarq in a short visit, seems to be . thorouglu The reason of things "the why" is constantly : inculcated. We, think Dr. Slover has evidently preserved a vivid recollection of Prof.'. Charles Phillips "rerwjft cognoscere causas, and en deavors to instil into his boys the neces sity of knowing the causes of things, in their daily studies; The blackboard showed traces of thoroughness in the Latin verbs; and the slates were busy with Arithmetic when we entered. New Berne abounds in material for a Graded School. Give Dr. Slover a class of fifty boys-of a certain grade, with uniformity of books, and he would es tablish in the minds of the boys an en thusiasm for their .work that would change the drudgery of school life into an enthusiasm, which of itself would work wonders for the child. Half the battle in educational matters is gained when the child himself can be induced to become a co-worker with the teacher; and it is a pity for a number of good teachers in New .Berne to fritter away their energies in desultory, scattered labors, when so much more good might be done by combined, systematized work. Personal. Rev. V. W. Shields returned from the Episcopal Convention yesterday. Mr. A. J. Loftin, of Kinston was in the city on Tuesday on legal businsss. Hon. C. C.

Ernul from near Swift Creek was in the city Saturday, making prep aration for a log-rolling: said prepara tions consisting of four gallons of "tan glefoot. We were pleased to meet Mr. A. Mitchell of Kinston yesterday. He says he bluffed New Berne trying to get up a bet on Joe Lassiter"s horses. The largest sheep owner of Craven. Mr. Wm. Foy, was in the city yesterday. He says he will get rid of his sheep on account of the trouble he has with dogs, buzzards and eagles. Would not a good shepherd pay him ? .

Royal, arrived from your city yesterday, where he has spent the Spring in the buying and ship ping of fish. ' There, were, twenty-five barrels of mackerel shipped from here, yesterday to Northern markets, .looking for "Northern capital." There are a series of meetings going on in the M E. Church here, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Puckett, who has been assisted by the Rev. Mr-Watkins of the Straits precinct, and the Rev. Mr, Utley, a Baptist minister. There have been ten or twelve conversions, and a great deal of interest shown by large congregations indicate a still greater work. Dr. Brooks, Professor of Natural His tory in the John Hopkins University of Baltimore, is now at Beaufort, and ex pects twelve or fourteen students to spend the summer w:':.:-. iix studying the marine animak r.Lip .f cur harbor. He has the nicest little steam launch ! have ever seen; he went up the Sound yesterday, and as he passed saluted me with his whistle, which sounded like a toy. There are now two barks lying at the depot with rails for the Midland the Noah and Some. The former has been in nearly a fortnight, and they have not commenced to unload her yet. The lat ter came in Saturday, and just as she cast anchor her crew had a free fight, in which I understand both the first and second mates came off with black eyes, :She is an American vessel with H mixed crew shipped for' the voyage across the "pond, " and the Captain will discharge them here. Mr. Alex. Potter,' one of the editors of the Telephone of - Beauiort, gave Dr. M. F. Arendell six cuttings of the cotton wood tree of the West-. , Said cuttings were from Kansas and looked dried and dead , when the Doctor, put them-out, but every one of them budded, and I think three of them bid fair to live.- The foliage looks very much like our poplar. Mr. Potter says they are rapid growers, and they certainly appear to be from the Doctor's samples, and he wants to in troduce them in this country for shade trees, thinking they will be able to stand our winds. The new management .of the Midland Road have issued an order charging twenty-five cents to carry any one from the train to the depot, or from one hotel to the other. The Conductors of the road have been bothered with crowds of boys, and I am sorry to say sometimes ladies, boarding their cars at the upper hotel and taking a - dead-head ride, and this order was issued no doubt to break up this nuisance and not intended to de bar those who had business at the depot or who wanted to go to Beaufort via the depot, but the conductors have no dis cretion in the matter, or if they have are afraid to use it for, fear ; of driving "Northern capital out of our poverty stricken country." If the rate of fare was made five cents for it is only a mile the road would get clear of this nuisance and at the same time do a le gitimate business. Carteret Items. Mit. Editor: Permit me to raise my hat and wish you the most abundant success. Farmers in this section are busy in working out their crops. Corn come up well, and earlier after planting than was ever known before. , Bud worms have been bad in some localities, but the corn is beyond reach now and "booming." Cotton is also being'. hoed out and that looks well. ' Melons are be ginning to put out "runners" and in a short month we will "lay by" this crop to await the gathering season in July. m.' 1 j 1 .. - , .mis lxxixusny xs giowixig axiu um lax lut ers find it remunerative. The light soil and warm climate make Bogue Sound in reality as it is in name, the "home of the melon. " We would be glad to wel come you here when this crop ripens. You ought to corneas enterprising jour nalists so as to learn of our many advan tages and so as to inform your many readers of the "paradise of Carteret.'' Here where all nature first dons her beautiful robe of green, where the rose spreads its beautiful petals to assimilate the first warm rays of approaching spring, while the jessamine and honey suckles scents the baxn m with their sweet perfume; here where tixe gambol ling billows in playful leaps chase each other ashore, and the soft breeze, . pure from the bosom of old mother ocean fans with ceaseless care the florid cheek of health. J. W. S. News Oom Hyde. Editors Journal: Your correspond ent had the privilege, while in Hyde, of attending the union meeting of the Disciples of Christ, held with the Church at O'Neals Chapel, and will try to give you a faint description of the meeting. The following preachers were in attend ance: Dr. J. T. Walsh, Dr. H. D. Har per, I. L. Chestnutt, Aug. Latham, J. R. Winfield, H. D. Cason, T.W. Phillips, Geo. Joyner and J. B. Parsons. The preaching, taken as a whole, was highly edifying. We noticed present, from all parts of Hyde, many prominent gentlemen; and also in attendance many of the leading citizens of Beaufort county, among whom were Dr. Frank Latham and Mr. Thos. Wilkinson, whose presence gave life to the meeting, which was reflected back by way of enjoyment to them. It was estimated that not less than one thousand people were present on Sunday. Dr. J. T. Walsh preached an able and very instructive sermon, when the congregation was dismissed and took their homeward march. Crops are growing very finely. The cold weather has been a great disad vantage to farmers. Tin; people are very busy at work, and verify the pas sage that "man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. " We noticed an iiuproremcnt at Make leyville. This fast growing village, without a doubt, at no distant day will become a town ot considerable im portance to Hyde. It is the only Krt that admits steamers without the use of canals. It is situated at the mouth of Slade's Creek, looking out ujhui the ma jestic waves of the Pungo River, and surrounded with a fine and fertile re gion of farming country that is thickly sett kid. Mr Makely, the owner of this beautiful location, is steadily improving tlie place, and is now preparing for the erection of a new- saw mill, which will add much to the life of the village and the convenience of the people iu the surrounding count rj-.

The grim tyrant of death has laid low one whom we all loved and respected, therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Morrison this Lodge has lost a useful member as a mason always willing and ready to perform the work as signed to-him, and as a physician ever kind and willing to render all the assis tance that alone can be rendered by a member of the healing art, and as Bro. Morrison has crossed the river of death and is now resting nhder the shade of the trees, awaiting for the final ' resur recon, where we all hope to meet him in that Lodge above-' where the Grand Master of the universe shall - preside and shall-fear neither paiq, sickness nor death. ,; V . v . ,, . . 1 , Resolved, That; , we wear for,: thirty 'days the usual badge of - mourning in memory of our lamented brother, ... , Resolved, Thut a copy of these resolu tions be spread on the Lodge records, and. a copy be sent to the family of the deceased; also a copy be . furnished to the New Berke Joubnal for - publica tion, -.-v. , - .

Berne sev eral months ago. we stumbled across quite a singular bit of history. which we think has never appeared in print before, concerning one whose life and labors will always remain a bright ornament to the pages of our State history We were informed by. the -venerable sexton of Cedar Grove Cemetery that the remains or juage .William. Gastor rested in a mahogany coffin upon tht floor of a subterranean chamber beneath, the -marble monolith erected to his mem-' ory, and that, when the - remains were i placed here, the, room was richly car peted, and the law-library, the mahog any arm chair and writing table, with silver inkstand, writing quills: and silver candlestick of the deceased, were brought hither . and placed with the body of their dead owner.. ' . If there is anyone still, living, either j in New Berne or; elsewhere, who re members the circumstances attending Judge Gaston interment in this vault, i and can throw some light on the cause 1 of the ieccentric .mode aof , burial, our I columns are open to him, and we would be highly pleased to have him favor , us with a communication.

Jarvis in this city xriaay night, the guest or . w. t. ivornegay, Jiaq., where quite a num ber of our citizens called upon him; The Governor came: here tat the laudable purpose of inaugurating a movement by which the Greensboro Female College property , may be saved to the. North Carolina Conference. ? The propertv ia advertised to be sold td. satisfy a mort gage debt of ;. .about . W,UU. We are pleased, to learn that the : Governor's plans, are thought feasible; and the sue cess so far gives assurance that the ar? rangements will be ' completed. AThe proposition isthat ten leading 'citizens shall purchase the property to the use of the Conference, by giving their notes to the North Carolina Railway Company, wmch now muds the nrst mortgage. The notes to' bear iniercst, payable an nually, and principal to mature in 1888. It is hoped by that time the property of tlie college is such that no difficulty will be encountered ; ill meeting the pay ments, without having to call upon the gentlemen', uponwhose generosity the saving of the property ' now depends. Messrs. E. B. Borden and W. F. Korue gay have pledged themselves to assume one-tenth of the obligation. Mr. Julian S. Carr of Durham, will take one-tenth. and the Messrs, Gray, Udell, Little, Itob bins and others are expected to assist, so that the Governor feels quite confi dent of carrying out the arrangemenft uotasboro Messenger. - t- COMMERCIAL.
