Mayor Court. Peter Williams, you are charged with violating sec. 2, chap. 8, of the city ordinances by cursing upon the public streets." "I am guilty, sir." Policeman Hurtt, Braxton Latham and George Green were sworn. Hunt testified that Williams was drunk and cursing loud enough to at tract the attention of a crowd; Latham heard Williams bring but one oath. while Green heard him talking loud and saying, "By Jesus, did you come after me?" "Step this way, Peter. According to the evidence you are guilty of the charges." "What ! for saying by Jesus V "Don't make any difference about the particular words used so they were loud and boisterous. It appears in the evi dence that you resisted the officer to some extent, but you are not charged with that. Under the circumstances shall have to fine you two dollars and costs. Fall back and take yor seat, All right. I takes an appeal from that," Raid Peter as he subsided. A RINQ WITHIN" A RING. "Richard Tucker, you are charged with committing an assault on Mary Davis on the 24th. Are you guilty or not?" "Not guilty, sir." Matilda Gunterson and Mary Davis were sworn, and testified substantially that Tucker went to Matilda Gunterson 's house for the purpose of making some sales being a huckster and Mrs. Gun terson asked him to return a ring of hers that he had in his possession. This he refused to do, but declared his in tention of taking another off her finger and caught hold of her hand for that purpose and pulled her down on the floor, squeezing her hand so hard that the blood, said Mary Davis, was about to burst out. Mary took the shears and beat Tucker's hand with them until he let go; then Mrs. Gunterson slipped the ring off and handed it to Mary; she put it in her mouth and ran across the street, Tucker after her, into a house, where he squeezed her mouth so that the ring dropped out and he got it. Two rings were shown by Tucker, one of which Mrs. Gunterson recognized. At the close of the testimony a second charge was brought against Tucker for an assault on Matilda Gunterson. "I am not guilty, sir; not at all." The same evidence was then rehearsed about his forcibly taking the ring from Mrs. Gunterson, at the conclusion of which His Honor asked : ."Is there any more evidence in this case?" ;. "Yes, sir," replied Tucker, "I want to speak, and I have a witness, Sarah Davis." Sarah, an old colored woman on two cratches, hobbled up, took the book, and when His Honor concluded the oath said, before kissing the book, "Yes sir, before God it shall be the truth and nothing but the truth." Tell us what you know about Rich ard Tucker's making an assault on Ma- tilda Gunterson." ' Yes, sir. Mary Davis come to my house and told me " heated. The inside finish is of ash and walnut'and is handsomely finished up. The outside color is of dark claret, it has the Janney car coupling, and will have air breaks. The car complete will cost about $5,000. The plan of the car was drawn by Master Machinist Manly and Mr. G. H. Marshall. The carpenter work has been directed and done by Mr. Jacob Taylor in a highly creditable manner. The work certainly indicates that he is master , of his trado. This car will probably be the first to run into Smith- field, and will be a creditable turnout for the machine shops of this place. Kinston Items. "Kinston College" is the name of the institution of which Dr. R. II. Lewis will be Principal. "Over the hills and far away" is the significant song of one of Kinslon's finest young men. Our friend Robinson Wood says he has been wrongly reported that he thinks it very hard to confine a man, like a rhinoceros, to "one horn" a day. He can take 77 before breakfast if vou call it post-oak bark tea. ; S. II. Abbott's brick stove w about finished. It is three stories has an im posing imitation granite front, and pre sents the most city like appearance of any of the brick stores in Kinston. This building indicates the man stylish, liberal and merchant-like. .. Young corn and cotton in this section droopeth and are veiysick ! Drs. Kainit and Guano, great stimulators, will do all in their power to save lite. A fine lot of lumber, about thirty thousand feet, was shipped from J. F. Farrott s mill, on the Midland lioad. last Tuesday, to Gen. Ransom at Morehead. freight charges light and liberal. George Wingate, Martha Wingate and Francis Wingate, husband, wife and daughter, all negroes, were up before Justice Coleman, Monday, charged with robbing and attempting to kill li. Nobles last January. The evidence was not sufficient to bind over to court. Half After Seven. Editors Journal: I am glad to see that a portion of our good merchants have agreed to close their respective places of business at 7 o'clock every night (Saturdays excepted) until the 1st of September, in order that their clerks, who have been faithful to their interest, might have a little recreation. This is certainly a good step.and I can assure the merchants that they will never lose a cent by it. In fact it will so encourage their clerks that they will go to work each morning with renewed energy. I do hope that those who have not fell iu line will do so at once. I am informed that the following is a list of those who agreed to close: C. II. Blank, T. A. Green, Humphrey & Howard, C. E. Foy & Co., II. Sper ling, Duffy & Gaskins, W. F. Rountree, J. W. Moore, E.

We know that the public ought to always get a neatly printed paper. We have been laboring under three difficulties, and. we hope soon to remove them Some ot our type is old and worn we have ordered a new outfit which will reach us in two or three days, and the Journal will then be printed out and out with new type. Our paper on which the Daily is printed is too thin as soon as our present supply is out (about three weeks) we will have heavier paper. Our power press, being second hand, gives us trouble and if we fail to get it to do nice work we will get rid of it and get a new one. We wish to succeed, and we know that a paper does not deserve success unless it is neatly printed.' t "That won't do. What I want to get at is, do you know any thing about his makiDg an assault on this woman; were you there?". 'No sir, I wasn't there but Mary was telling " "Then you know nothing about it?" "No sir." "Yer Honor, she does know " "Keep quiet Tucker. You can stand aside, Sarah Davis." "I will take an appeal," "No, you needn't bother about an ap peal; I will send you to court, anyhow, Let me see the ordinance " After consulting the ordinance Tucker was finsd $20. and cost in each case. 'He can take an appeal if he wants to. 'No, I'll take thirty days in jail rather do that than go to the Peniten tiary." "tt is thirty days in each case, re member." "Cant you make it thirty in all; I'll never go up there again." "Thirty in each case," said His Honor, and "Court is adjourned,1' said the Marshal. A New Car. .

On "last Tuesday evening, just after our last paper was worked off, we were shown a letter rrom a gentleman m ew Berne to one of our citizens, stating that an excursion., party of seventy-live or one hundred from that place will pay our town a visit on the 29th inst. The New Berne Steam Fire Engine Com pany, fully equipped, and also the Cor net Band of that citv, will leave New Berne on Mondar morning, the 29th inst., and arrive iu Washington about 7 o'clock on the same evening, remaining over in our town until Tuesday night at 9 o'clock. Let steps be taken at once by the authorities to give our friends a hearty welcome, and let them carry away with them the impression that the reputation for genial hospitality ana gooa lellow ship gained by our town in by-gono days has not in the least detracted but rather increased. Our citizens will no doubt liberally second any movement which may be proposed for the entertainment of our guests and make their short stay in our midst as pleasurable as possible. fession, and for this reason he will, after this week, withdraw from the editorial staff of the Free Press.

Everything is well under way now for the new crop, and rich harvests are expected this year. Kendall and Lilliput are worked by Mr. Gen. Kidder, who has recently purchased them, and Orton belongs to the estate 'of the late .Capt. D. R. Mmvhison. A capitalist has written to a gentleman in this city asking for information as to the amount of small fruits, vegetables, etc., which are .brought ..to.this market. The informa tion is desired with a view of erecting a canning establishment here. Nearly all of our truckers and farmers would increase their crops if they were but sure that they could sell their products here, and we trust that the gentlemen who contemplate establishing the can ning factory may be induced lo come on foot: crass fed .v. -yam 50. Eggs'13. Hides dry Through the kindness of Capt. Roberts the Beach Grove Sabbath School went on a picnic up to Biddle's Landing last Tuesday,' the 23rd. lhe steamer JSeuse left New Berne, with a small crowd on board, about 7i o'clock, and reached Street's Ferry about 9 o'clock when she took on board the Beach (trove Sunday school and proceeded on her way. The run up the river waH delightful, wind ing in as we did among the trees which fringe the river-shore leaning out over the water here and there as if to mirrow themselves in its smooth bright face. Now and then we passed an opening in the dense forest in which was nestled a creek, beautiful and tranquil as some happy dream. A cluster ot gum trees, called "Gum Orchard," presented a picture unique in its beauty, as we ooked at it from the steamer that bright May morning. The cheerful and hap py songs of the young people, and Nature dressed in her most beautiful robes ot Spring, were all in keeping with the happy occasion. We arrived at the Landing about 3 o'clock, and then re paired to the grove in front of the house, where we were cordially welcomed by Mrs. Biddle and family. After which the tables were set, and. all partook bountifully of the splendid dinner set before them. As soon as the party had eaten, the whistle screamed, and very much to the regret of every one we had to hasten to the boat, arriving at Street's Ferry just before dark, found the road covered with water, except a small place just large enough for the Sabbath school to stand on, where they had to remain until their vehicles came to take them home, all of which added to the novelty of our trip. The shore in iront of Middle s house presents a high bank with overhanging trees, and not far off, I have been told, is the place where fort liarnwell once stood. Mrs. Biddle showed mo a can non-ball that they found on the place recently which is supposed to have been carried there in 1712. Bros. W. P. Richardson, Chief Marsh al, and J. H. Stevenson and J. J. Spier, Assistants, acquitted themselves ad mirably. This school has been in operation 13 years, and all the original teachers and officers, save one, have been removed by death. The present Superintendent is the only original member still living. It has had 90 pupils in all, 40 of which are now active members ot the church. The prosperity of the school is attrib utable to a large extent to the faithful and efficient labors of Bro. Daniel Lane, its present Superintendent. May the angel of mercy presiding over the des tiny of Beach Grove Sabbath school ever smile lovingly ana cneertuiiy upon them, is the sincere prayer of your cor respondent. J. M. L. New Berne, N.

Mr. Best's Boston bank has gone into liquidation because the people feared to patronize it iu view of the former bad management. The truth is the old cashier-had wrecked another bank, and this one was started to make a place for him. As might been expected he brought it to grief. And now notwithstanding Mr. Best, by some very very good financial work, got it started again on a good basis, the absence of confidence , by the business public operated to prevent its getting a fair share of business. Credit is like a wire s virtue, it must not even be suspected. The winding up of the bank, however, is not a failure, and we do not understand that any losses are to follow this suspension for purposes of liquidation. Mr. Best's railroad plans may not be interfered with at all by this operation. Of that we know noth ing. News and Observer, Roanoke News: Many of the farm ers are plowing up their cotton. Nearly all that was planted early failed to come up or died afterwards, and unfortunate ly most of it was planted early this year. The crop will probably be smaller than was originally intended because of the lateness of the season, lhe grain crop is in excellent condition, however, and we hope that the loss in the cotton will not be so serious as there will be more bread-stuffs than last year. Wilmington Star: Judge Lynch has hanged or killed 20 persons in the South, 19 in the North and 6 on the frontiers since January 1, 1882. A dry goods house on Broadway, New York, has sold 4.000,000 of goods within five weeks. ' It expects to sell more than that sum before mid-summer. Foreign immigration keeps up wonderfully. In ten months over 700,000 have arrived. March brought 65,000, April 104,000 and May will be still larger it is believed. New Berne Free Will Baptist: Rice seems to be thrifty, and is from 3 to 5 inches high. The hew Methodist church near Riverdale is quite an im provement. 'Tis a neat and comfortable structure. We learn from a friend that the cool weather for the past week has made the cotton look bad in the lower Broad Creek section in Pamlico county. He also stated that the rice birds had destroyed the young rice to such an extent that some would have to plant over. Goldsboro Messenger: The survey ing party of the W. & W.'
