Clarke, and Simmons & Manly. ' We notice at the Midland depot the arrival of one or more iron safes every day or two. - We learn that about fifty : have been shipped to this point recently.

The total accessions to the Church since the ' revival is near one hundred seventy' five by a profession of faith, and several others by certificate. Rev. Mr. Hendren i has been assisting Dr. Burkhead for the last two or three days. Mr. J. M. Mewborne, a Lenoir county 's merchant, living between Kinston and yf Snow Hill, was in the city yesterday buying a stock of goods. The proposed railroad from Kinston to Snow Hill would be a great convenience to such merchants, and would also redound to . New Berne's wholesale trade. Mr. Mewborne says he will give the right of way over his land and donate 200 to the new road. Election.' orVentrymeii. The annual election of Vestry meu was held at Christ's church yesterday and the following gentlemeu were re elected: ' Major John Hughes, W. H. Oliver, H. R. Bryan, Joseph Fulford, Geo. H.

Winston, chair man of the State Executive Committee, will deliver addresses in the Court House at New Berne on the 29th of April, commencing at 11 a.m. and therefore publish the above; and while we yet doubt that the results will be commensurate with the money ex pended, yet facts are stubborn things, and if the final result is as Captain White anticipates, no one will be more ready to give due credit than the Journal ed itors.

"-They Will probably be here next week or the week after. These two cargoes complete the com plement of f000 tons, which was the amount purchased by the Midland. We trust the vessels will arrive safely and we are sure that .the pilots will be very careful that they reach the dock with out accident. Crop Noten. 'We learn that the farming interests of Lenoir are very promising, and the tarmers generally in that section are well up with their work. We saw a gentleman yesterday, who told us he saw on Mr. Geo. F. Parrott "s farm a considerable quantity of corn up and to such a height that it was seen for a dis tance down the rows as he rode along. Mr. Parrott is a son of the late Jas. M. Parrott who had a high reputation as a farmer, and who always had the best crops in his section, and he keeps up the father s reputation.

Never has Christ's Church looked so beautiful as on the Festival of the Res urrection. A profusion of the rarest flowers covered the altar, font and pul pit, and in every window were heaped up these fragant tributes to the memory of our dead. . There can be no fairer of fering, and no day is more appropriate for it than that which tells us our loved ones'are not lost to us, but are sleeping, and that we shall all rise and meet again in the presence of our Father. The music was of the joyous festal character suitable to the day, and among the Anthems was a Jubilate written for the occasion by our townsman, Richard Berry Esq. It showed much taste and sentiment in composition, and happily expressing, in tones both .tender and brilliant the exultant faith of that grand Canticle, made all hearers feel that the Lord indeed is gracious, and His mercy is everlasting. Hauler Celebration, The services at Christ Church, V. W, Shields,Rector,ofi Sunday morning, were very interesting. Notwithstanding the cloudy and disagreeable day the church was well filled before the beginning of the morning services. The decorations were splendid, and the musio was just capital. On the epistle side of the altar, resting upon the font, was a pyramid Of flowers with the Cross on the top; on the gospel side the pulpit was entwined with beautiful flowers: the altar and chancel were appropriately bedecked while the litany desk was the recipient of the most handsome bouquet we have seen for many days. The window deco rations, too, were exquisitely made up and arranged,- reflecting much credit upon the fair ones whose duty it was to attend this part of the celebration. The music throughout, under the di rection of Mrs. McLean, was appropriate and well rendered. In the evening the Sunday School cel ebration was held, the annual report read, and prizes awarded to the follow ing: For good conduct and attention, Miss Mollie H. Heath and Master Oscar A. Kafer; for best lessons and attend ance, Miss Theresa Fulford and Master Willie J. Smith. Kinston Items. Neuse River Improvements. - Captain J. M. White, of .the steamer Neuse, reports that on his up-trip to Kinston, last Saturday, the water was very low." He states that he met with no trouble up as far as South West, where General Ransom's jetty force is at work,- He .thinks he can now run as far up as West's Landing in the lowest water. , It will be remembered that the JOUR NAL has repeatedly decried the Nense river appropriations, alleging that it would not accomplish the desired end. We are always willing to yield to facts, Sheriff Davis is convalescing. L. J. Hill is very sick with pneumonia, - The colored Methodist Chureh.is.haT: ing a big revival. , The rye fields near Kinston are head ing out beautifully. Miss Sallie Pollock, daughter of our townsman Dr. W. A. J. Pollock, is visit ing the family of Hon. Jno. W. Shackle ford at Washington City. Messrs. H. F. Grainger and S. W. Isler of Goldsboro were in town on Mon day. Mr. Isler was on his way to Jones Court; Mr. Grainger looking up his client's interests for Lenoir Court. Jos. Lassiter sent out in his livery carriage on Sunday a mountain of flesh as well as a mass of legal and politioal acumen. The buggy carried D. R. Walker of the News and Observer, Judge Gilmer and Captain Swift Galloway three as heavy weights as one can easily find together. ... Cleon Mewborne, a son of Mr. Levi Mewborne, Sr., of Kinston, died on Saturday nightof typhoid pneumonia. Esquire R. W,' King is building a handsome addition to his residence on Queen street. This comes, doubtlesa from having a pretty, grown-up daugh ter at his house. , The firm of J. B. Webb & Sons, A Good Paper Fine FarmsThe Flu- litf InferMta Beit's "Railroad Pol itics, Mr. Editor: It seems somewhat strange to address you and the dear old Journal at New Berne; but allow me to congratulate you on the bright pros pects of your future success. The Jour nal, we are glad to see, is continually growing more popular with its readers, The agricultural information it contains is indeed interesting as well as instruc tive. The fact, that it advocates inten sive against extensive farming and a more general use of home-made manure, and a less dependence on commercial fertilizers, etc., should cause every farmer to feel well compensated for his subscription money to the Journal, to say nothing of the remainder of its val uable reading. We are glad to see so many of our farmers relying more on home-made manure and cultivating less land that is not manured. We ,have had , occasion recently to pass the farms of Mr. Z. J. Gurganus and Dr. M. Hoyt, near this place, and we learn that they are depending almt entirely on manure prepared ou the farm; and as they are among our most successful farmers, this is an evidence that it pays. We were on the farm of Mr. A. J Murrill yesterday, and he, by carefully using prepared home-made manure, ex pects to make a bale of cotton per acre. The fishing interest in New River is largely increasing. A fishery near Jack sonville has been recently established and the fishermen are making consider able headway catching herring. Later they will catch trout and mullet, which will enable fish carts and wagons to ob tain fish here, which will save them distance of fifteen or twenty miles where they have heretofore, been going, Mr. Editor, we can certainly boast of fine fish and oysters down here don 'i suppose the New River oyster can be ex celled anywhere All that we need here in Onslow county is: 1st. A railroad from some point on the Midland Railroad to the head of the navigable waters of New River, say to Jacksonville, which is in deed the proper point. 2d. An appro priation from Congress to straighten up the river, which would cost but very little; and to properly fix the bar of the river so as to enable large vessels and steamers to pass in and out at all times. If such were in " operation the many now obstructed resources of our county would soon be thoroughly developed, our depressed and out-of-the-way people would be inspired with renewed energy, and in a few short years old Onslow county would not be in the rear of her sister counties, but among the first and most enterprising counties -of.' .North Carolina. We hope Mr. Best will be on hand at this place on the 17th instant (at which time a railroad meeting will convene), and tell the people what he will do towards building a railroad for us, and what he wishes the . citizens of the county to do in return. The political sea remains somewhat placid in our county yet. Up to this time we have heard of only five aspir ants for the office of Register of Deeds. I apprehend much injury to the Dem ocratic party by this independent move ment. I truly hope all voters- will see the impending evil that is attached to this so-called independent spirit, before the coming election, and "turn from the error of their way.!' At her residence near Jacksonville, on the night of April 1st, Mrs. Harriet Can aday, ; wife of, Mr. Richard Canaday, passed from earth's trials to the higher and better life. To those who were ac quainted with this gentle and lovely Christian lady, an obituary notice bear ing testimony, to the lsluning grace of her heart, and the meek Christlikeness of her lowly life, will not be unaccept able. Mrs. Canaday was in her 57th year, and for quite a numbar of years was a consistent member of the M. E. Chureh. X. Jacksonville, April 5, 1882. Rev. J. T. Abernethy, Baptist pastor NOTICE.
