No such chorus singing, or instrumental performances, were- ever, heard in Jjel Grange before. The whole concluded with very instructive speeches from Messrs. Bouse and Joyner. La Grange has cause to be proud of such teachers as the Messrs. Rouse, Joy ner, Davis and Misses Daniel, Hargrove, Scarborough and Kinsey ,. who have as suredly done much to elevate the -standard of education in this, town and sec tion.

The war with England was then over. Com merce .was making, its way with steam a new power to our people The prospect of Newborn was bright, per haps titie brightest- in her history, the the largest town in the State; with capi tal employed and idle far in excess of all our sister towns. Her business men were full of life, energy and enterprise. Little did they then imagine that New bent, in another generation, would be so far outnumbered in population . and beaten in wealth by any other town in the State.- Yet it is even so, though we envy not their prosperity and success. The company failed, to keep the Abr folk running on the line to ' Elizabeth City, for two reasons, first, no attempt was made to carry freight on the . boat, and next, sufficient preparations ' were not made for connections North and South. The. Norfolk was, sold at con siderable loss : and carried : off : from here within a few months after her first arrival. . .' . '' .

" Both : Presbyterian and " Episcopal Churches were erected soon after his criticism, and if it had any effect upon them we must admit it was more poeti cal than architectural. In the plan of the Presbyterian Church he had a direct hand.' The 'present ( Episcopal Church sprang from the one Chester alludes to the effort of our. fathers to build, that was destroyed by fire some years subse quent to tne late war. The corner stone of it was laid in -1821, and jabout the year the Presbyterian Church was com menced. Both were then considered by our people models of symmetry and beauty , if we can credit the statements of our papers at the date of their dedi cation. - To secure these sacred edifices the' members and , friends of both de nominations . worked with , heart . and spirit, and gave with commendable lib erality., - Some day,; Messrs.

New Berne Fire Company by the people of Washington. They were glad to see the visitors and spared no pains in making our . stay pleasant. The dinner on Tuesday re sembled a wedding . banquet; , rich wreaths of flowers ornamented the ta ble, and when the dinner was over, the table was not half emptied of its gener ous burden. The Worthy Mayor, Mr. C. F. Warren, gave his entire time towards making the city 's guests enjoy themselves; and where he failed in ac complishing this purpose the young la dies and matrons took up the burden and gave satisfaction. A pleasant trip it was for all. We are under many obligations to Mr. A. C. Latham for courtesies shown us at Washington. Through his kind we made the acquaintance of numbers of the good business men of that town and learned of the business outlook. The Irish Potato Crop. Mr. Wm. Dunn dug potatoes on his farm Friday that weighed 19 ounces each. The crop has been very fine this spring and good prices have been ob tained. Mr. E. B. Cox has returns from the sale of forty barrels in Baltimore on Wednesday morning at $8.00 per bar rel; and says he will make fifty barrels per acre. The trouble with our truckers this year is they havn't made enough to supply the demand, it will be eight or ten days before the Norfolk potatoes will pro in, and as tne bulk of tne flew Berne potatoes have gone forward, it is quite probable that the prices will go still higher. The Priest and,lijg Dinner. An Irish priest was standing at the corner of a square about the hour of dinner, when one of his countrymen trserving the worthy father in perplex lty tbua ad dressed him 'O father O'Leary, how. is your river enece mightly put out, .Fat was . the re ply 'Put out!

The New Berne Journal, is undoubt edly one of the best secular newspapers in the state. The plan brother Harper has adopted of giving the local news items, from a number of counties, is a very popular style of journalism, and likely ; to succeed. . We dont say as much to flatter ; the Kinston reporter, but he certainly is sharp on gathering news items: . The Journal as it now is, carries the local news of half dozen counties, as well as State land general news. The people of New Berne and Craven county need be proud of the in stitution, and should rally to its sup port. Baptist Review. Bis Cabbae. - Mrs. J. A. Meadows sends us a thir teen pound cabbage.

La Grange, or Moseler Hall, as it wan formerly and more appropriately known, is a small but flourishing . town on the Midland Railroad, Atlantic Division, with an energetic and intelligent norm- A A lation, and surroundings and neighbor LiT J ' A hood. No place is complete without its ,' piaces oi worsmp ana schools for educa ting the rising generation. All of these may be found here, not in prospect, but ur acraax possession, ana we are - proud to chronicle the fact that Lenoir county is abreast with the times in education. Beside the two at Kinston,' we find here two schools, . both under the manage ment of sterling young - gentlmen. Messrs. Bouse and James Jomer, who graduated last summer at Chapel Hill, conduct the one, and Capt. Adam Davis. taie lrum xuuiuoipu jaacon, tne otner. All of these young gentlemen are to the manor born,, and reflect credit on them selves and honor not only on their town and county, but State as well. Capt. Davis' school has a military feature, and about ninety scholars; the closing exer cises will take place on the 1st and 2d of June. ' . The other, under Messrs. Rouse and Joiner, has just closed. " ' ' lo these exercises we invite your at tention, regretting that want of space forbids our saying as much as we would like. - The exercises on Wednesday consist ed of recitations, dialogues, declama tions . and musical displays of vocal duetts, vocal solos, instrumental quar tettes, . vocal chants, etc. The music department and training under the tu telage of Miss Lou Daniel was highly entertaining and emphatically satisfac tory. ' The annual address was delivered by Prof. Geo. T. Winston, Professor of Latin at Chapel Hill. . Mr. Winston was introduced in a handsome speech by Mr. C. S. Wooten, who arose and complimented the people upon securing the services of Messrs. Rouse and Joyner, who graduated at Chapel Hill last June with distinction. Mr. Winston then, as an introduction, spoke of the "Conflict of Races," and took for his subject "The Three Great Races," whose characteristics he por trayed with force and vigor and judg ment. Prof. Winston was listened to with marked attention by a very large, ap preciative and intelligent audience. He was exceedingly eloquent throughout, and showed much research and learn- Araencan Presidents have small salaries, , compared with European sovereigns, but many of them have managed to recumulate handsome for tunes out of ofhee, if not in it: -Washington left an estate worth nearly $300,000. The elder Adams left a moderate fortune at his, death. Jefl'er- son died comparatively poor. If Con gress had nbt purchased his library at a price far above its value ($20,000) he would with difficulty have kept out of nanKruptcy t the close of his life. Madison saved his money, and was comparatively rich. The fortune of his widow was increased by the purchase of his manuscript papers, bv Congress for $30,000. James Monroe, the sixth President, died so poor that he was buried at the expense of his relatives,- in a cemetery between Second and Third Street, near the Bowery, in New York city. John Quincy Adams left about $50,000. Anarew Jackson left a valuable es- own as the Hcrmitasre. about twelve niile.8 from Nashville. Tenn. Martin Van Buren died rich, nis estate was estimated at nearly $200,000. James K. Polk left about $150,000. John Tyler was a bankrunt when he became President. He husbanded his means while in office, married a rich wife, and died wealthy in worldlv fortune. . Zachary Taylor left about" $160,000. Millard Fillmore wast wealthy man. Franklin Pierce aved $50,000 during his term of service as President. James Buchanan died. bachelor, and left an I estate valued at $200,000, at the least. Abraham Lincoln left about $75,000. Johnson was said to be worth about $20,000. President Grant was poor be fore the war.

'I always put some pebbles in with he barley, seven or eight, and count exactly how many I put in. The mare never eats the pebbles, and if any one steals barley, he is sure to take two or three pebbles with it. If I find the pebbles short in the morning I make hard words, and they cannot tell how I know, and so let alone cheating her. He was Answered. Brick Block, Middle Street, New Berne, X C.

A medal was awarded to Miss Effie The Irish are as witty as they are gallant. The "chaff" of common laborers is often as mirth-provoking as the smart sayings of professional wits. An Irishman having jumped into the water to save a man from drowning, received a sixpence from the rescued man as a reward. Look ing first at the sixpence, and then at the man, he exclaimed, Faith, I'm orer-paid for the job!" As an illustration of the union of gallantry and wit, the following inci dent will do: A sudden gust of wind took a parasol from the hand of a lady, and a lively Irishman, dropping his hod of bricks, caught it. "Faith, ma'am," said he, "if you wf re as strong as you are handsome, it would not have got away from you." "Which shall I thank you for first, the service or the compliment?" asked the lady, smilingly. "Troth," ma.am," said Pat, again touching the place where once stood the brim of what was once a beaver," that look of your beautiful eye thanked me for them both." A Good Reason. How satisfactory a witness answered a cross examining lawyer is thus told by the New York Herald: It was a sad thing for Lettie Davis when she put out her washing on the clothes-line of her South Fifth Avenue abode yesterday. Peterson Knapp was there on the watch, and it is alleged carried off the raiment, part and parcel. At all events a policeman arrested him for the offence, and he went to the Jefferson Market Police Court, prepar ed to maintain his innocence by coun sel. Lettie was there too, and in spite of numerous trying interuptions from the counsel, she got down to the point in her narrative where she discovered Peterson longingly eying the clothes as she hung them out. 'Dat brack niggah,' she said, ungen tly apostro-phizing the prisoner, 'he stood dah wif an dozen clay pipe shoved whar it 'ud do the mos' good, and he a poffin as if he'd like to split.
