The blossoms on the fruit trees having faded and fallen sadly to the ground, the leaves are now coming forth, green and glossy, and fair to behold. The time for the- digging of bait has come and he lie of the fisherman will soon be heard in the land. "Can sorrow live in April days?" asks Mr. Tennyson. We think it can, especially when the weather is as i t was yesterd ay da m p, gloomy, chilly and generally disagreeable. Then it is that every sorrow can "live and even wax fat and be come robust "in April days." Owino to the adjourned meeting of the Board of County Commis sioners until Monday next, we have concluded not to make a partial report of their proceed ings, but to wait until after the ad journed meeting, when wo shall report their proceedings in full. The clever Asphalt roof pain ters, Messrs, Hess & Wright; who have been here most of the winter, tell us that they will make no more contracts here after this week. They have business await- ning them in several different places, but have about made up t.hpir mind tn vrn tn R.Almnrh 4Wkm Inhere. , To do good, advertising must be kept up day after day; month alter month ; year in, year out. The man who thinks that an occasional advertisement once or twice a year .is enough, is. like the man who 'thought he could maintain life and 'be healthy and strong on one meal ,a day. If liberal and judicious ad vertising didn't pay do you think that the most successful, business men in the- world would spend hundreds and thousands of dollars yearly for advertising ? There is a "Criblmge Club" in town, whose nightly "pegging" at the New Arlington Hotel is the Spurec of considerable fun (and Scuppernong) for the participants. Captain Swann and l red Hess usually play against uen. JJodd and llob MeGeehin, and when one side scores a "double sequence" the other comes in with "15 six" andj "his heels." lituCK men trom the IS ortli are beginning to make their appear ance in these parts, soliciting con signments of truck dnrins the shipping season that is about to open. It will hardly pay them to visit our city this year, as our truck crops, especially peas, are exceed ingly snorter than we nave ever before seen them : and we have seen some short orops in this line. But, moreover, the area planted in truck hereabouts this year is not so extensive as it lias been usually in former years. We thus early inake the prediction that next year will be the largest and most prolific truck year we have had for many seasons. The half-witted negro boy who used to loaf. about, the streets 'of this city and who was known as "Crazy Ike," is the one who did the killing at Mt. Olive on Mon day that we spoke of in yesterday's issue.1 It seems that he and his brother got into a dispute about something to eat, when Ike, be coming enraged, struck his brother with a hghtwood knot, killing him almost instantly. There can oe no' doubt that the unfortunafe, frairi- .a li &rior nardiy nrorrauy responsible for his terrible act." He is at present in jail here, having been brought here from Mt. Olive yesterday. The verdict of the jury in the ca.-e was: "That Henry Flowers came to his death bom a blow inllicted on his head by a light wood knot in the hands of 1ms brother, Isaac Flowers, with malje aforethought." . PlvllSONA 1, MENTION". Mrs. W. II. Foster and daughter, Miss Sarnh, have returned from their visit to Kaleigh. Brother Theo. Hobgood, of the Asheville Afcmee, shed the light of his cheerful countenance in this sanctum yesterday. Dr. C. Edel, of New York, is at the New Arlington. lie is here for rest and recreation, being worked down by an extensive med ical practice. We are sorry not to be able to announce any improvement what ever in the serious condition of our esteemed and venerable townsman Dr. D. Cogdell. ' "V: Our young friend and townsman Mr. Jetf. D. Farriorand bride have returned from their bridal tour, and have taken board at the handsome home of Mrs. N. K. Grainger. The Akous is glad to welcome them home. Mr. George Thorn, of New York, an experienced botanist of some considerable note, is stopping at the New Arlington. He is here, for the purpose of making a collec tion of plants and flowers from this vicinity. r Dr. Jas. Hay, who has been spending several days visiting old friends in this section, returned with his neohew, Mr. John Mc Laughlin, yesterday to Philadel phia, where and with whom he is now residing. Mr. and Mrs. Whitehead, of New Jersey, are'still enjoying the hospi talities of the Crawford Mansion in the country. .North Carolina atmosphere seems to agree with them, as they are beginning to look as hale and -robust as anv of the natives. wv s.- Presbyterian Church.

Here are two; for instance that, we take from the New York Herald : "A few nights beiuie Socrotary Man ning's illness to donespondents were standing (iii the main hall at thebbitt house watching a queer old gentleman who was writing a dispatch at Lhe telegrapii desk.

His was tsuch comical, citrious conduct that it seemed possible he might be 'a dynamiter or a neft lobbyist The newspaper men went round into "the row," and found a friend who knew tlni Morse alphabet. When they returned with him the ex-telegraphist went to the counter osten sibly to send'a message. There he heard the lolloping sent to Hamil-' ton, the president of tho North western Millers' Association at Minneapolis: "Saw the Secretary to-day. Find him very favorably inclined rogarding rebate. Will get final answer to uiorrow." Then followed the signature. "When the result was reporter thero-was a general laugh. Tho information was of very slight value, but it was decided to have some amusement out of it. One of the correspond ents sauntered carelessly up to the the clerk's desk, near which the queer old granger stood, and dis tihclly asked for him by jiame. When the stranger heard himself inquired for his eyes expressed some surprise. The correspondent introduced himself, and in the most matter-of-fact way expressed his gratification at the result or the i interview with the Secretary of the j Treasury. The look of consterna-j tion that everspread the granger's face cannot be described. 'Why, sir, I didn't suppose that a soul in Jim city knew me, and I have not confided the object of my visit to a single soul. liow did you learn it?' he asked almost pathetically. .'I am employed to keep information on all subjects,, replied the corres pondent.

Of the Sunday schools and the various ladies aid societies conducted in con nection with the different churches, we can only say in passing thai, like the churches, they are intelligently managed pnd earnestly administered, accomplish ing results highly creditable to all con cerned, no matter in what relations or in what capacity. We are, and we have a right to be, proud of the churches of violdsboro. Goldsboro's Graded School Alive to the importance ol having good schools and good school facilities, Goldsboro takes the lead, as usual, with a graded school building hmnough and line enough for a city imchlarger and more stylish than this The unjld ing, which is of brick, is fiur stories high, and will comfortably accommodate over 700 pupils. The number already enrolled reaches nearly !00, and the average daily attendance at present is 504. The principal of thia excellent school, Prof. Edwin A. Alderman, is a native of our State and one of North Carolina's ablest young men, whose fu ture stretches lar out before him,-5 and to the long end thereof bright promise smiles upon him from every jside. His home is Wilmington, but his valuable services are ours, and long may we yet have the benefit of them. Prof. Alderman succeeded Prof. E. P. Moses, now of the Raleigh school, who is one of the fore most educators in the whole country. He was the first principal of our school and resigned to go to Raleigh, but we have in every respect a worthy successor to him in the present incumbent of that important position. Prof. Alderman is assisted by a full faculty of lady and gentleman teachers, all of whom are com petent and thoroughly qualified for their respective positions ; our young friend and talented townsman Prof. Jno. L. Borden, a Chapel Hill graduate, fill ing with credit to himself and with suc cess and satisfaction as an educator, the position of 1st assistant; and Prof. B. C. Mclver, of Sandford, who is also a graduate of Chapel Hill, ably sustaining the not less onerous duties of 2nd assist- ant. The lady teachers are many and CyOIjDSBOIU) AG ..j I 7-1- faithful and efficient in their work, aa a " J visit to the school any day Jwill show ' The -building, though erected!: nearly Mm: thirty years ago, is well adapted to every requirnlent of the educational system of t ; Jhe current age, and answering the por-V. poses quite as well as any of the r;audy, ' showy structures that are ' erected tof meet such uses at the present day.

Gregory House. For the Allocs to try to praise a hotel so widely and so favorably known as the Gregory House would be, in the apt lan guage of Lhe poet, like "an attempt to paint Uie lily white, or to gild refined gold." . It , would indeed. The Gregory is a first-class , house with all that the term implies, and as'., such it is everywhere looked upon as one of Uie really meritorious and reliable estab- f ments of Goldsboro. Small need for US to go into details in writing of this house. When we say first-class, you know very well what that means ; and you may be sure that if we didn't know the house to be first-class we'd never say or pretend that it was first-class. A glance at the register any day will convince you how popular and how well patronized the house is; and if you come in contact with the people who run the house, from the porters to the pro prietors, you will soon discover what a kindly, courteous, accommodating set they all are. And the table? well, didn't we . just tell you that the house is first-class, and what else do you want to know ? New Arlington Hotel. If you have not been to The New Arling ton Hotel since the beginning of the pres- , ent year you will be surprised to seethe handsome and substantial improvements that have been made there during the past few months. R.-novation and leform have been carried on everywhere, from the office to the kitchen, from the parlor to the dining-room. New and elegant carpets on the stairs and in the halls; new carpets and ! ) new paper in every room ; new beds and ' ' new furniture ; new silver-ware and new table service throughout ; the dining-room as cosy and comfortable and cheery as can be ; a reading-room carpeted and furnished 1 like a parlor, and always supplied with the j leading State and other dailies. la the kitchen the best of everything the market p affords is used, and the best culinary skill - g employed-that of Mr. Chas.T.
