Just from a trip through the county, and saw some very fine crops, among them Dr. E. ,W.-Ward stands first. He has a field of 300 acres of corn; 225 acres of cotton and 35 acres of peanuts, or ground peas as they are called. Corn shooting and tassling -all over, and in heighth on an average of 5 feet. Cotton very fine; only in some few places a bad stand, owing to the severe south west winds, f Peanuts the best I have seen by far; seme measuring "15i inches across the top.- A. J. Hunt Jr. has very fine cotton, also a fine patch of chufas, and Bome of the finest Rice -in the county." Hurst is a thorough-going farmer.-: Mr. K R.

By the way some and pernaps many persons in the county, may not know, that there is a. telegraphic communication along the coast, from Fort Macon to Wilmington;' but such is the case, and would say to those wisbing-to spend a very pleasant trip on the Banks, or a fishing pleasure trip, to visit the house of Dr. Ward near the mouth of New River and have a talk with Mr." Corbin, the operator, and he or they will not .; regret it.

We can grow almost all kinds of truck to a perfection; we are situated, one mile from Pamlico river: on the east side of South Creek, being so near the water we are not subject to late frosts and cold snaps that is so much against trucking. Our potatoes will grow to No. 1 shipping size in two and two and a half months. We can and do ship as easily as New Berne or any other town in North Carolina. Our village is quite small, yet we have about 150 inhabitants, and it bids fair before many years to stand among the larger "towns of Eastern North Caro lina. We have steamers at our wharves nearly every day in the week, which gives us as Ugood shipping facilities as New Berne or Washington. We write our friends and the readers of the Journal, that if they want to truck farm to come and see our lands, and advantages for trucking. Land can be bought very reasonable; come and judge for yourselves. H. H. G. S. Old Hen. In the Kinston Items, a few days ago. our correspondent tells ot an old man in Lenoir who was in the war of 1812. We have several here in New Berne who, though not quite that old. have vivid recollections of that olden time. Messrs. A. T. Jerkins, W. G. Bryan and Capt. Dewey are about 75 years old, and Mr. Charles Slover is in his eightieth year. Mr. Jerkins recollects well the first steamer ever brought to New Berne in 1818; and was himself, afterwards, among the pioneers in inaugurating river steamers for the Neuse. Items. Mr. F. M. Simmons is having his res idence on Johnson street thoroughly renovated and repaired. Bishop Lyman will visit the Episco pal church of this city the 3rd Sunday after Trinity, June 25th. The Irish potato crop from New Berne this season has been sold for about 50,000 a nice sum of money to put in circulation in the dull season. The Board of Trade received yester day a fine Brussels carpet from A. T. Stewart & Co. for" their room putting on airs as they grow wealthy ! The steamer Vejr Berne carried out about one thousand packages of Irish potatoes, beans, squash, etc. She will not be here again until next Tuesday. The barque Viva that was aground off Morehead City with steel rails for the Midland Co., was set afloat on Friday night and came up to the rail road wharf. Caapt Oaksmith predicts a lively time at the next meeting of the stock holders of the A. & N. C. R. R. He says there will be "rattling among dry bones." The New Berne carried out about one thousand packages of Irish potatoes, beans, etc. on Friday. One or two more trips will about wind up the truck for this season. John A. Moore of Halifax received at Tarboro on Monday the Republican nomination for Judge in the 2nd dis trict, and John H. Collins, is renomina ted for Solicitor. The Norwegian barque Viva has ar rived inside the bar at Morehead with steel rails for the Midland Railway. She is the one spoken of in-Friday's issue as being aground off the harbor. She is aground between Fort Macon and the depot. ' ". In the article on "Bits of New Berne History," we find that fifty years ago there was a - tri-weekly hack line be tween New' Berne and Washington. Now we have only a semi-weekly buggy route. Give us a daily mail; we are retrograding'. In the closing exercises at Peace In stitute, Raleigh, we notice that a Lenoir girl, Miss Bettie Kinsey, was distin guished in Algebra, Geometry and His tory ; and that two Onslow girls, Misses Cox and Koonce, had their names on the Roll of Honor. We learn just before eroinfr to press that the engine and three cars left the track on the Midland down train last night, about three - miles this side of Core Creek, caused by breaking the ax le of the tender, delaying the mails sev- ral hours, rortunately no one was hurt. A small colored boy who cives his name as William McCoy, whose mother married Jacob Dudley, and lives in about four, miles '- of ' Cicero Green in Craven county, rode in Kinston Friday evening on a bay mare named "Kate, ' ' Offering to sell the mare for ten dollars. He was suspected of stealing her and was taken up and committed to jail. Peter Dowan who was robbed and badly beaten near Dover sometime ago was m the city yesterday and went be fore Esq. Stanly for the purpose of iden tifying Suggs who has been in jail here for sometime for the crime. He would not swear positively that Suggs was the man but Suggs answers to his descrip tion of the man. It is said that Suggs denies now that .Rouse had anything to do with it. Change of Schedule. The!" steamer Contentnea will sail hereafter for Trenton on Wednesday morning instead of Monday, and will leave for v anceboro on Monday instead of Friday as heretofore. La Grans Academy. The advertisement of La Grange Academy under the lead of J. Y. Joy ner and J. D. Murphy appears in this issue, We take pleasure in calling at tention to it, for from our own knowl edge of the c principals - and from per sonal observation of their teaching we can command them as excellent teach ers. :'. : Honor to Whom Honor I Due. The communication from the passen gers "oni the train which broke down near New Berne shows that but for the air-brakes there would have been a se rious accident--scdre one for the Mid land road for introducing air-brakes; life was saved by this timely invention. But the communication shows that the accident happened from a broken axle score one against the Midland road; human life ought not to be endangered by using axles that are liable to break down for no apparent cause. Site for the New Conn House. The County Commissioners held a special meeting on Tuesday and accept ed a proposition from the Board of Trus tees of the New Berne Academy for the purchase of the lot on the corner of Craven and Broad streets. The sub stance of the proposition is that they will sell the lot for 4,000, or will lease to the County for ten years at $25 per month, with the privilege of purchasing during or at the end of the term at $4,000, payable in County Bonds, at the option of the Trustees. New Boats. Cant. E. B. Roberts, agent of the Old Dominion line has received a letter from the General Superintendent sta ting that the Shenandoah will probably leave New York about the 17th inst. After next week the New Berne will make only one trip per week. The Clyde line will put on bv the first of August a new boat that will carry twelve hundred bales of cottcn. The Stout has had twenty feet added on to her which will increase her carry ing capacity, oo the Clyde line will by next fall, have increased its carry ing capacity about fifteen hundred bales. Normal School. How many of the teachers in Craven expect to attend the Normal School, either at Wilson or at Chapel Hill? Every teacher that cau possibly do so, 6hould attend. In making choice be tween Wilson and Chapel Hill we would recommend the latter place. Not that the school is any better, but the trip to Chapel Hill we think much more pleas ant. The commodious buildings, the large shady campus, and the well filled libraries there will afford a splendid opportunity for enjoyment mingled with study. For the next four weeks Chapel Hill will be as pleasant a summer resort as most of the noted watering places in the State. Meeting of Road CommlMionera. The special commissioners appointed by the Legislature to lay out and con struct a road from some point on the Newport road near the line of Craven and Jones county through the pocosin by Catfish Lake to some point on White Oak near the line of Carteret and Jones, held a meeting on Tuesday at H. R. Bryan's office. There were present Messrs. H. R. Bryan, Wm. Foy, W. F. Foy and Thos. S. Gillett. An organiza tion was effected by electing V. Foy. Chairman and W. F. Foy Secretary. This road has been surveyed by W. A. Jones, and found to shorten the dis tance from the White Oak section to New Berne from ten to fifteen miles. The Chairman was instructed to in form the Superintendent of the Peni tentiary Board that they were ready to receive any convicts they may send ac cording to the act of the Legislature. He was also instructed to notify the county commissioners of the several counties mentioned in the act that they are ready to receive any convicts they may have on hand. New Berne Attempted suicida. j Sundavs New York Hcrcdd fvu tains an account of attempted suicide in Beau- fortN. C, telegraphed by the Herald correspondent, Rev. N. M. Jurney. Mr. Henrv Johnson, on Wednesdav , last, procured two ounces of laudanum, swallowed it, and gave a note previ ously written, to a young lady where he was stopping, requesting her not to open it for some time, and then re tired to his room to die. The note, however, was opened at once what woman could do otherwise? and his intention of committing sui cide being evident. Dr. Manney was called in and succeeded in saving his life. From a reading of the note and other circumstances it appf ars that Mr. Johnson, a widower, was in love with a young lady in Beaufort, and in his case, unrequitted love induced him to at tempt suicide. New Steamer. Thei. H. Cutler from Swift Creek made her first appearance on our waters on Monday, under command of Capt. C. T. Cherry. This boat is 84x20, with twenty -horse power engine, finished off with all the latest steamer appliances, and has a carrying capacity of about 175 bales of cotton. She was built by Capt. Cherry chiefly for his own freights, but will afford accommodations for passengers and other freights between New Berne and Swift Creek. To give an idea of this freight Capt. Cherry alone shipped last year 1,700,000 feet of lumber, and about 800,000 shingles; and in addition anout izuu Dales ot cotton , comes irom tne vinage to JNew tserne. Capt. Cherry is a -fine looking unmar ried man,- and the rule is that all un married captains on new steamers on Neuse river get a wife within six months from the first trip made. The Journal expects to publish the mar riage notice before next Christmas. Real Ktate In New Berne. We are carrying an '"ad" in the Journal of a brick dwelling for sale by Mr. A. T. Jerkins, and in passing the house one is struck with its elegance and surroundings. We mention it be cause we learn the house will be sold at an exceedingly low price, and we wish to make a prediction that in less than two-years real estate here will com mand a premium. -We base this opin ion on the following grounds: Farm ing land around New Berne has ad vanced in a few years 100 per cent. Within one mile of the city lands are worth now from fifty to one hundred dollars per acre, when a short while ago they sold for twenty-five. This boom has come from the trucking car ried on which has wonderfully en hanced the price of real estate. For the same reason city real estate will soon take a similar rise. The truck boom will have its effect; steamboat enter prise is bringing new trade to the city; the sales of cotton are increasing every year; new manufactures are being ad ded, such as oil mills, canning facto ries, machine shops and near .here, fib re factory, jute factory etc; the corn trade from Hyde is unprecedentedly large, and in fact business of all kinds is enjoying a prosperity not before equalled, since 1866. All this will have its legitimate effect and the result will necessarily enhance the value of real estate. , . . Ularlne News. The schooner Melvin, Capt. Gordon, cleared from this port March 22nd with a cargo of shingles which she landed at Antigua; from there she took a cargo of sugar to New York; bringing on the homeward trip a cargo of lime and salt consigned to its owner, Mr. Elijah Ellis, and arrived yesterday morning. ARRIVED. The schooner Mary Bryan, Capt. Ire land, from Goose Creek Island, with a cargo of Irish potatoes, chickens, eggs, etc. . The Marietta, Capt.

Mr. Dayton Midyette of Hyde county passed through the city yesterday morn ing on his way to Kinston. Rev. W. C. Puckett of the Carteret circuit was in the city yesterday. He has been up in Jones among old friends. Dr. N. H. Street, of Polloksville called to see us yesterday. He reports the health of his neighborhood good at present. Mr, A. C, Gooding of Cypress Creek township; Jones county, was iu the citv on Tuesday with some fine hams and lard for sale. - Mayor Royal of Morehead Cky . was in this city yesterday. Says visitors are beginning to come in. Two families from Georgia have arrived. Mr. E. R. Stanly, of Rahway New Jersey, is in the city, and will probably remain until after the meeting of the Stockholders of the A. & N. C. R. R. Mr. Charlie Mallett of the Clare Fibre Com pan j'. was in the city yesterday. He came up as a delegate to the County Convention. He says the Fibre Compa ny will double its capacity in a short time. He tells us of some fine ripe peaches on his plantation; says it would pay handsomely to ship them but he be lieves in eating some of the best at home, and we agree with him. We. were pleased to meet on Monday Mr. George F. Parrott of Lenoir. He says he inquired diligently, on reaching New Berne, where the Jocrxal office was to be found, and for a long time could find no one that knew of any such paper. He seems to think the Jocrxal in New Berne is like he reports J. T. Askew's cotton (one of Lenoir's best farmers) "too small to be seen." WTe guess the cotton will come out by July and maybe the Jocrxal will be" known in New Berne after awhile. Rev. Mr. Davis who filled the Bap tist pulpit on Sunday called on us yes terday, and we were pleased to renew an acquaintance made two years ago on a trip to sheville. Mr. Davis, at that time was returning' from Wake Foret. where he had worked his way. with his ax. through college, concern ing which the papers at that time were celebrating his pluck and spirit . He is now on a visit to the ocean, having nev er before seen any water larger than a small stream nor a sailboat nor steam er. He will have a pleasant time on his trip. Another Factory Xecdeil On yesterday we called on Mr. F. Boesser, the furniture man. to see what he was doin in the way of manufac turing. He keeps only two or three hands at work repairing does but little manufacturing. i "Hand made work," said he, "won't pay. The work can be done so "much i cheaper by machinery." j "I see you have a big stock on hand, now don t you guppose that much of rb5 timber out of w Licit they are made is carried from North Carolina ?" "O J. I ship them lumber myself have shipped about three thousand feet of poplar and other varieties during the last month to the manufacturer ; the timber that the posts of that lot i there was made of grew on Swift i Creek." "Then wouldn't it pay to bring the ; machinery here and save the expense ' of shipping and re-shipping?" '1 snowjii nothing that would pay better here than a furniture factory except it be Irish potatoes this year. "I have received one hundred bed steads to-day. The freight on the lot is above $45,00 and the freight on lum ber from here to the factory is 5.00 per thousand." "Why don't you have the factory."' J '"I haven t the capital. I could get ! the machinery, but in a business of that sort a man ought to have capital to run on until he could .make a market for his goods. Besides I am getting too old to undertake the job. I went on about a year ago to look at machinery, and had it offered me on good terms, but I concluued that I was getting too old to undertake so much." "Well, maybe the young ien will take hold after awhile and put the thing in operation." '"No, the young men won't do any thing as long as the old men can do anvthing for them." ) The Beaufort '.' We publish Pilot. two communications in Ransom's article on the reply to Gen stranding of the Viva. We are glad to give them a hearing and will be glad to believe that it was only accident. Tf our Beaufort friends will remember we made our strictures, based on General Ransom's article, with the following proviso, "f his facts are not denied," j and we will give both sides a patient nearing to get out tne tacts, am even if it be established that it was an acci dent, it is certainly an unfortunate ac cident to happen twice in succession in so short a time especially when the Carteret County Telephone, the local, home paper, published within two miles of the accident, uses the language quoted below. And in view of all the facts, we see no occasion for Capt. Oak smith's fling at the easy matter for the press to cast a stigma on humble, honest citizens. The Journal professes to be aneicRpaper and the public acts of every man, high or low, rich or poor, is open to criticism through its columns and these same columns are equally open for reply and vindication : The Telephone says: We think the time has come when there should be some public expression on the part of the people of this town and of the peo ple of every town and village on the harbor, with reference to the action of the men in whose hands rest to a greater or less extent the maritime and com mercial interests of this port. It is the imperative duty of the Commissioners of Navigation, and on behalf of the peo ple we call upon them to -investigate the conduct of certain pilots icho have, during the last tiro months,, either throngh ignorance or carelessness roy both, so needlessly damaged the reputa tion of Beaufort harbor. Democratic County Convention. At 11 a. m., M. D. W. Stevenson, the Chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee, called the meeting to order, stating the object to be the appointment of delegates to the State, . Judicial and Congressional Conventions. On motion, Johnson H. Bryan was elected Chairman of the Convention, and Alex Miller, Secretary, with H. S. Nunn, of the New Berne Journal, as Assistant Secretary. The Chairman on taking the chair, made a ringing speech on the past glo ries and sufferings of the Craven Demo cracy, and closed with the cry for "tariff for revenue only, free trade and sailor s rights."5.'

Give us a railroad, and soon we will be a city. Politics are beginning to boom. As the county is about evenly divided politi cally the campaign will no doubt be fiery.

Two of New Berne's fair daughters are in own. and attract marked -attention on the streets by those who desire a "rib."

J. W. Hodges near this town has 50 acres in oats, and he challenges the State on a finer and more promising crop, ihey are in one held, and at tract every traveler. He cuts this week.
