The usual dele gates were appointed to the several con ventions of the party, State and district, when the Convention adjourned. La Grange Items. 'A tj ' - Wheat cutting is in full blast. Threshing ill commence in a week or so. -The grain is badly-damaged by rust in some places. Cotton "continues to be backward. It is believed to be at least three weeks later than last year, with a very poor stand. - Rev. G. W. Sanderlin reports 15 acres planted in the famous Ozier cotton, highly manured with stable manure, Acid Phosphate and Kainit. He says this cotton is ahead of his other in growth and appearance. Mrs. S. I. Wooten sent McDonald, the seedsman of this place, the finest cab bage seen in this section this season. It was; firmly headed and weighed five pounds and nve ounces. The steam engine attached to the brick machine near this place, was fired again this morning.- ami another effort was made at making bricks. I have not learned of the suceesa. Heretofore the enterprise has been a failure. . A party went to Seven Springs to pic nic to-day?

' Heretofore ? some misunderstanding has existed as to the time and place of holding the Senatorial : convention in this district; and to remedy such misun derstanding, a committee of five was appointed to confer, with r similar com mittees from the counties of ; Onslow and Carteret to definitely settle the time and place of holding allTuture conven tions in this Senatorial district. -' As no place has been selected for holding the Senatorial convention we respectfully suggest that it,. be: held at Polloksvilje.

The latest in this line is extensive iron fur naces or smelting works to be located on the banks of the Neuse near this city, by a company composed of Gen. Hoke, Hon. R. R. Bridgers and others, now operating a valuable iron mine near Chapel Hill, from whence the iron ore is to be brought here. Gen. Hoke has recently, in company withl our towns man W. F. Kornegay, Esq., made a trip up the river and was highly pleased with his visit, and we are assured that its lo cation here is now determined. The object is to be convenient to a plentiful supply of firewood and charcoal, and if need be to utilize river navigation. Messenger. Complimentary. Thanks to Bro. Harper, of the Daily Journal, for his kind notice of the Watch-Tower and its editor. The Journal is the most racy, spicy and newsy daily published in the State. We commend it to our readers as a paper that meets their wants in every particu lar. W7ae7i-7'ouer. New- Berne Items. The offices at the railroad ..depot are being stuccoed. J'. ,.'- U ' '?

Yesterday during the shower light ning struck the schooner Florence lying in the ' Brinson dock, tearing her top mast to pieces and shivering the main mast clear down to the deck. This is the second" accident of the kind that has happened here within the last month. Serions Affray t Trenton. We. learn that a serious affray oc curred at Trenton last Saturday be tween Mr. George H. McDanieJ and J. Jtt. follock. It is said they were in a controversy about prohibition both antis when Mr. McDaniel drew his knife and stabbed Mr. Pollock in the neck, inflicting a serious wound. Cbarles Wb It field Arrested. On Tuesday night Marshal Gaskill and policeman Bowden arrested Charles Whitfield, col., who struck the blow that killed Ruffin Smith, on Col. Whit ford 's plantation in Jones county, and lodged him in jail. The Marshal rec ognized Charles, and he confessed that he was the man that struck the blow. He was found at the house of George Washington, col., ou Neuse street. Jones and Onslow Railroad. Capt: Page bad a conference w ith Mr. Best on Monday in reference to the rail road running from Core Creek to Tren ton and on through Onslow. Mr. Best accejts the propositions offered and will construct the railroads if Jones and Onslow will give bonds for 25.000 each, to run 20 years, and not to be delivered until railroad is completed. The con struction corps can be ready for work in 30 days. Union Point ITIillH. Mr. J. A. Meadows, the clover propri etor of Union Point Mills, is having im provements added in order to utilize more power from his engines. Mr. Meadows is an extensive corn dealer, having handled near 200,000- bushels since the 1st day of January. Of this amount his mills have been grinding 400 bushels per day into meal. His shipments extend into South Carolina and Georgia. Xlie Whipping Post in Pamlico. A few days ago a crowd of boys were out together near Bayboro, Pamlico county when two of them engaged in a fisticuff. After the fight the other boys organized a court appointed a judge, sheriff, clerk, jury etc. and tried the two boys for fighting. One of them was found guilty. The sentence of the court was that he be tied to a tree aDd whipped by the sheriff, which sentence the appointed sheriff is said to have ex ecuted promptly and with great defer ence to the court and without much sympathy for the young criminal. the Beware of Alligators. On Friday last the Engineer on steamer Neuse saw an alligator and fired on him with a double barreled gun. Unexpectedly, both barrels went off to gether and the alligator was killed aud the Engineer met with nearly a winilar fate. His nose was mashed and his eyes blacked and he gathered himself up from where the gun had kicked him, re solved to attend to his engine in the fu ture and let the Captain attend to the alligators. Homicide in Jones County. On Thursday last two colored boys, Charles Whitfield and Ruffin Smith, living on Col. J. N. Whitford's planta tion, engaged in a fight with hoes, when Charles inflicted a blow upon Ruffin 's hsad which caused his death on Satur day evening. Dr. N. H. Street attend ed. Charles is still at large. He is a dark, smooth skin negro, about five feet eight or ten inches high, walks a little knocked need, black eyes, wears No. 9 shoes, is twenty-four years old and weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds. A. A N. C It. a. We learn that Mr. E. R. Stanly has sold most of his stock about 400 shares in the A. & N. C. railroad to Mr. Best at 13 a share. If a fight is made to oust the Midland at the Stockholders Meeting we predict that Mr. Best will hold the winning cards. From a con versation with several leading Lenoir county men. we learn that the senti ment there is decidedly in favor of giv ing Mr. Best a further trial. They say that in his favor it must be said that he runs more trains and in quicker time than any administration heretofore, and that so long as he doe3 that, pays his rental, and keeps the road in repair he may keep it if he never builds the road t Salisbury. SteamboatN. The pleasant, gossipy letters of a con tributor on "'Bits of the History of New Berne1' grow in interest. We are glad to promise our readers that they may expect something on the same order every week. As to our personal expe rience on steamers, our recollection is that the Cas-tre77. put in the river in April, 1872, could come from Kinston to New Berne in seven hours, and make the return trip in about thirteen hours. Our first pilot was Capt. Ed. Brown, a colored man, who had become famous in ante belhim times as pilot on the Johnston. He deserves a niche in his tory for his braye conduct on that boat during a great storm at Morehead just before the war Wherein his pluck and skill brought out from tne jaws of death a boat loaded with excursionists. Cotton Seed Oil. Some time ago we mentioned the fact that cotton seed oil had been introduced as a substitute for lard. Since then, Maj. A. R. Dennison, the proprietor of the oil mill in this city, has ordered a barrel of the refined oil and pronout ce3 it a complete success. In order to thor oughly test its qualities he had it used in his family for a week without their knowledge, and no one detected it. He thinks it is more wholesome than hog's lard. The Major intends establishing a refinery in this city at an early day. This discovery will probably give cotton seed quite a boom when it is remem bered that the meal is just as good for feed or manure after the oil is taken out as before. marine Hospital. We learn a negotiation is going on for the renting of the Griffin Building for a United States hospital. We hope it will Jje consummated. If it is done the Government will have the use of a splendid building and most admirably adapted for the purpose intended. We doubt if a more desirable place can be found in North Carolina. A great ben efit will also accrue from 'it, as Mr. Ol iver, who is deeply interested in ad vancing the interest ef education, will be enabled to assist Oie Graded School more largely from the rent which he will receive. The Government will be benefited by getting a most eligible and convenient place, and the cause of -Bdu-cation -will receive the benefit of the rents. P rsonal. Miss Sallie Alphin is attending the Normal School at Wilson. Mr. Geo. Allen returned from New York on Wednesday night. Mrs. Mary Howard, Mrs. Harriet Foy and Mrs. Jones are visiting Beaufort.

Says he was too busy cutting oats to attend the meeting at Trenton last Saturday. Mr. Willie Rhodes of Polloksville Academy was in the city Thursday. He had a prosperous school last session and will probably continue teaching. Hon. O. Hubbs has beeu in the city the last two days. He attended the State Republican Convention at Raleigh, and left for Washington Monday morn ing. Rev. F. W. Eason returned yesterday morning. While in .Norfolk he visited the Female College, and pronounces it the best school he has visited in the South. We were pieased to meet Elder A. C' Hait, of Hookerton, on Wednesday. He has been preaching at Deep Springs. and is on his Way to White Oak in Jones countv. Col. Jno. N. Whitford of Jones couiHy was in the city Saturday. Savs his cotton is very small and a bad stand. Thinks he will have blooms by the fourth of July. Mr. D. R.

Mr. M. D. W. Stevenson is attending U. S. Circuit Court at Raleigh. He ap pears in the case of A. Oaksmith vs. Un derwriters' Insurance Company, in which case Gen. Ransom and Mr. Basil Manly of this city are witnesses. Mr. J. H. Foy, the Richlands widower arrived in thl city on Tuesday. He says we cheated him out of ten years of ' I I his life by saying he was fifty years ! old. Did anybody ever know a widower ! to be fifty before he married again? Mr. Joel Kinsey of Cobtori was in the j city Saturday. Says his cotton is very small don t want any credit but in good condition. There is quite a dif ferent story told about some of his neigh bors, Maj. Gordon and J. W. Biddle. It is said there is so much grass in their cotton that they haven't time to go fish ing. Rev. R. K. Hearne of the Free. Will Baptist returned from a visit to Pitt county on Monday. He attended the quarterly meeting of the church at Blackjack. He reports that although the crops generally are small yet that of Mr. E. Stanly Dixon in the neighbor hood of Blackjack is the best he saw being about as good this year as usual. Drs. E. W. Ward and Mumford and Mr. Solomon Gornto of Onslow and Mr. Cyrus Foscue of Jones arrived in the city Thursday evening. According to Mr. Cohen "s mode of judging, they do not come to ask for. credit they report tne crops as being very poor. especially! cotton Dr. Ward comes to meet his daughter who has been attending sclnxil at Salem. Swansboro Items. Mr. E. M. Farnell gathered one bush el of good col lard seed from his garden this week; how is that for high ? A large whale came in Brown s Inlet-: this week and was caught by Capt. Joe Bell and son. with the help of Mr. L. Fulcher and one or two others. Plenty of fine clams and fish, escallops and stone crabs; if you want to get fat come to S wansboro, and if you are sick and want to get well come to Swans- boro. Mr. L. H. Cox is agent for a paten hand corn-sheller, , that separates the corn from the cob. Mr. Cox showed me a sample, and it is certainly the best thing of the kind I ever saw. One man can shell fit-e bushels of corn per hour with ease. Every farmer should have one of these shellers. Cropsare splendid, turpentine is brisk. Pitman bought 820 barrels to-day, and Mattock also a large lot. Capt. V. W. Dennis, schooner Ray, cleared this port yesterday with 300 barrels for Morton & Hall, Wilmington N. C. Dave Ward is fairly dancing over his successful looking crop thus far; he has soma of the best cotton in this part, of the coun ty, and Russell has the next best; both are hard to beat. In corn I think E. M. Farnell has the lead. On Friday June 16th, a large and ap preciative audience, composed of a reas onable portion of the beauty and intelli gence of Onslow county, assembled in Swansboro to witness the closing exer cises of the Academy which has, dur ing the last term, been under the suc cessful management of Mr. C.

Farnell, a re3ent gradu ate from Trinity College, delivered the literary address which was much ap preciated by the audience and the pu pils. His speech was clear, pointed and eloquent. G. W. W. Pollofcsville Items. We were present yesterday -at the closing exercises of Mr. W. H. Rhodes' school at the academy near here. The speeches by the students were very good indeed, and the reading by Misses Cattie Rhodes and Hattie Foy Was also very good, and think that Master New ton White's speech "took the cake." We do not like to make any particular mention, as they all did so well. After the school exercises Mr. Rhodes introduced Mr. P. Holland, Jr. of your place who delivered an address to the audience. His subject was, "Is this a progressive age" which he handled well. He is a veiy intelligent and deserving young man, as well as a good speaker, and we believe that some day, our '"old friend Phil" will make his mark. After the address we all repaired to the picnic grounds where there was ' everything nice eatable, j We hope the patrons of Mr. Rhodes' I school will be lucky enough to-secure ! him the next session, as we think him i a good teacher, as well as a good moral young man.

Chm'n. rise Pilot. I The article of Gen. R. Ransom recent I ly published in the New Berne Journal, criticizing the coaduct of certain pilots at this port, called forth a lengthy article from Capt. Oak smith in reply, and un der date of the 15th, there appears in the same paper a wdl written communica tion over the signature of "Fair 'Play" .sustaining the views taken by Gen. R. and incidentally approving the action of the Telephone. Now we liave had our say and we do not projxwe to add to or subtract any thing from it. We s'imply have this question to propound: Have the Commissioi.ei s of Navigation taken any action in the matter, and if so, what? and if they have not taken any .action we ask why? Beaufort Telephone IV en Boat. A number of our leading business men have requested us to call a meeting of the merchants and cotton buyers of Goldsboro to be held in the vestibule of the Ope fa House this (Monday) evening at 8 o'clock, for the purpose of taking the necessary steps towards organizing a steamboat company, to place one or more light draught steamers on the Neuse between Smithfield and New Bei ne. This is a matter of considerable importance to the business interests of this city, and we hope to see a large at tendance of all who have the good and welfare of Goldsboro at heart.
