Va.. and was acquitted on the insanity plea, baa been confined in the lunatic asylum -' at Raleigh, X. C. - 'Wade and Ewen, the two young men who were arrested by Mr. Da Tia last spring for breaking open Mr. ' Mullens store in Lincoln county. . were sentenced to the penitentiary for three and five years. A darky was sentenced to one year for steal ing a coat. A Macon. Ga.. colored man sen- '. tenced to the penitentiary for ten years deliberately cut out both hts eyes with a knife to avoid going. " During the last nine years and six months Mr. Joseph H. Cashion, of ' Garibaldi, has killed 85 chicken nawka and 19 large owls. Some of them measured four feet and five inches from tip to tip. He has two owls with their wings cropped in his garden to keep the chickens out. One of our readers who is opposed to the prohibition law says: "He be lieves In the old-fashioned way of doing things, allowing everybody to make whiskey; and besides, in olden days, they made the article so good that there was no harm in carrying a bottle to church and treating tbe parson." Dr. 'R. J. Gatling, the Inventor of the' famous gun bearing his name. was reared, tbe Buffalo Courier , says, in a rough little log cabin in ; the heart of tbe North Carolina backwoods. What in time became the Gatling gun is said to have sprung from a boyish attempt to make a corn planter. A special to the New York Herald dated Asbeville, X. C, 25th Inst ays: "Great excitement was created . la this city today by the arrival or a guard of six men having in charge the notorious moonshiner and out lav, Redmond, who has so long and so successfully evaded arrest. He Is in Jail and carries in his body six . bullets, the result of .bis obstinate re sistance. ' English Emigrants. (From The Gaxetteof Apr. 20, '81.) " Encouraging news comes from the eastern part of the State in regard - to the arrival of English immigrants of a substantial class.

Fall and : have settled at various points on the railroad between Kinston and More- head. Since the present year open- ed forty English immigrants have arrived. Many of them are engag ing in truck farming and find It quite profitable. (News and Observ er. A Difficult Operation. (From The Gazetteof Apr. 20, '81.) On Friday an exceedingly difficult operation was performed upon a lady from Chatham by one of our physicians who was assisted by no less than four brother practloners. For some two months past the lady - had been a great sufferer from an an enrism of the orbit, a very rare dis ease. Other remedies failing, it was determined as a last resort, to tie the carotid artery. The operation was performed with much skill and with entire success. The treatment Is one of what are known as the "capital operations" of surgery. Very few instances of the disease are Known and but few such operations have ever been performed. The suc cess of this one is, at this writing, eomplete, and it is an evidence of the high ability of our physicians. Ral eigh News and Observer. GRAM) RALLY LAST XIGHT.

In the absence of the chairman of the prohibition ex ecutive committee, the speakers were- introduced by Hon. R. Y. McAden. Rev. Dr. S. Mattoon. of Biddle In stitute, made the opening speech and for half an hour discussed forci bly and eloquently the points at is sue in me contest, during bis re marks addressing himself to the co ored men especially, to whose wel fare a great portion of his life had been devoted. He was followed by Mayor F. S DeWolfe, who eloquently and briefly touched on the issues involved in the canvass and contrasted the adiuJUus- tration of city affairs financially dur ing the time he has been in the of fice and the years of his predeces sors. He appealed to the voters to rally on the day of election and pre dieted the triumph or the cause which be represented by a majority such as was never before polled in this city. Gen. John A, Young, who gloried in being one of tbe pioneers of the cause, followed In a speech full ot earnestness and power, in which he portrayed the evil effects of drunk enness, which was robbing the peo pie of their freedom and their man hood. " Col. J. B. Thomas responded to the. call in a speech of much force and eloquence during which he took occasion to call the attention of the colored people to the great harm it quor was doing their race and the stumbling block It was in the way of their prosperity and progress. Col Thomas spoke with a feeling which showed that his heart was enlisted in the cause. He concluded with a beautiful apostrophe to peace which he said would bless this beautiful State of ours from the mountains to tbe sea when tbe liquor traffic was suppressed. C. J. Maford, colored, of Rich mond, was then called out, and for three-quarters of an hour, addressed the meeting in a speech full of good sense and humor, and at times quite eloquent. His remarks to his own people were pointed and forcible and they showed ther appreciation of u by close- attention and frequent ap plause. David A. Jenkins, ex-Treasurer of North Carolina, being present, re sponded briefly to a call, and in the course of his remarks called atten tion to the report in circulation that the prohibition movement was a Democratic trick to get colored votes. ' He said it was a question of principle, aj question of reform to which the National Republican party in a measure was committed, and that if he was a candidate for office he would go before the people on that Issue alone. It was one of vital import and overshadowed all the other issues before the people today In his own county of Gaston, thougn distilleries were numerous, it would carry in August by an overwehlm ing majority. Gen. R. D. Johnston being loudly called for, responded by saying that while he had refrained from taking part in the discussion of public ques tions, this was one of such vital im port to the community that he could not remain silent and refuse his co operation in the grand effort now be ing made by this people to redeem the city from the terrible curse of intemperence. me meeung was closed Dy an elo quent and telling speech from Hon. R. ) . McAden, who was loudly called for and made some telling hits in the course of his speech. The close attention given each and every one of the speakers and the ap plause which greeted their remarxs shows that the people are in earnest in this question and that they mean to do full duty on the day of elec tion. Mr. McAden Btated that the prohi bitionists had determined that noth ing in the nature of bribery would be tolerated In this election. No money would be used by them and the other side would be closely watched, and If they were caught in an attempt at bribery those concern ed would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
