We should have stated that the cotton statistics iu Saturday's Journal were received by the Cotton Exchange and not by the Board of Trade. A few days ago however we gave the Cotton Ex change, the treat jot . Mr. & H. Scott when it was for the Board of Trade, so we prosume it will do for a set on.' A Good Driver. John "Lee, the driver of the New Berne Steam Fire Engine Company, is an expert hand at the business, and he had an opportunity to display his cool ness at Elizabeth City. While the horses were running at full speed down the street one of the forewheels of the en gine ran into a hole which pitched him forward on the pole between the horses The horses didn't break at all but John regained his position and reins without hollowing "whoah," a single time. - River and Marine. . ; The TUlie O.

T The revenue cutter, Stevens came in to port Friday night. The steamer Contentnea arrived from Trenton yesterday, about noon with a cargo of Cotton and Naval stores. Mi- , . , - Our Advertiser. We see in many of our exchanges complaints against the local business men for not advertising. The Journal cannot make any such complaint; our advertising patronage since coming to New Berne has been at least 25 per cent. greater than we had calculated upon, and continues to increase even in the dull season. We take pleasure, while ' acknowledging this support, to call the attention of our friends to the gradual ' increase in our circulation. While the increase is not rapid, it is steady, and in the long run will succeed in running up a heavy list of subscribers. This success will redound to the benefit of New Berne as well as to the owners of the Jocrnal. We intend to fill, and ara filling with the Journal, every nook and corner of the surrounding country ' with a good newspaper, and by this means the business men of this city can reach out after trade and extend their operations. Success to the Journal mews also success to New Berne, aud wo,willingly acknowledge that we are aided aud sustained by both the good will and patronage of our people. Attempt at Arson. On Friday night there was an attempt to bum the building occupied by Maj. Chapman on Cedar Street, between West and Bern. The house belongs to Tim. Davis (col.) and he had rented it to Chatham which he was using as a grocery. Sometime during Friday night some one knocked at Tim's door, which was near by, and hollowed fire. Tim jumped up immediately, aud went to the door, the party giving the alarm fied down the street. Tim dis covered the fire and was in time with ai bucket of water tj prevent auy damage, The incendiary had prepared his work well; had lightwood split up aud satu rated with kerosene oil, aud it was applied on that corner pf the shop that contained a barrel of keroene. Teachers IiiNilliite Pitt county has a Teachers' Institute in operation with forty-two white teach' era in attendance and also on for the colored race with twenty-one teachers Wayne and Greene counties have uni' ted, and at Goldsboro a very excellent Normal School is in progrc bj. Would our County Superintendent excuse us for suggesting that he could perhaps tlo tlie cause ot education in this county great good by adopting a similar course V It is universally ad mitted that our common school teach ers need being educated. Knowing how to teach is fully as important as knowing the thing to be taught. And while the Superintendent in his visits io the schools can and does give valua ble aid and assistance to the teacheis, yet of necessity his visits can be but sel dom and therefore the teacher is not Bo greatly benefitted. And while there are numbers of Normal Schools all over tha State, yet the body of the teachers in any one county are debarred from attendance for want of means.. , As Craven had no Institute last year it is probable that the County Commis sioners, as in Wayne county, would give $200 for this purpose; aud as there is already a colored Normal school iu this city, the whole amount of the fund could be used for the white Institute. With this amount, two or three experts could be employed, such as Miss Long or Mrs. McDonald for the model class, and when their labors should be supple' mented by Lectures from the very able Superintendent Mr. Long, and from Su perintendent Scarborough and others, this Institute would be a success and do great good. The Day' Bolng at the Corner. Yesterday being Saturday, the lati day of the week, the first of the month and the.first of the last half of the year was necessarily a busy one with the ''Jewels." The early morning was cool, and, re freshed by the previous rain, more thau usually inviting to an early l'ising aud morning-stroll. Hence most of the regular "panel" were in position at an early hour, and but few seats "re 831 ved" for "talisinen" or "yisitinj statesmen. " The questions uppermost in the public mind were introduced, discussed, and either "passed," "killed" or "tabled.' The new steamship Shenandoah was thoroughly overhauled, examined aud "allowed" to ruu. Moonlight exeur sious as a recreation especially for the "panel" were approved, after a slight discussion as to whether they should be absolutely free or subject to tariff for revenue only. Hon. C. C. Clark's letter was discussed rather muchly, the chief difference of opinion being as to whether the gentle man said Axiomatic truths of the Con stitution, or Aromatic truths of the In stitution, or whether he had gone out of Democracy or Democracy had gone out of him. The meeting of the A. & N. C. R. R. Co. was examined, and as an adjourned meeting approved, with strong intima tion that, in the opinion of the speaker. they should have always been "quar terly meetings," by which means the dividends on shares would have been just four times a great as they have under " the "annual" arrangement, which only affords "one ride a year. ' Improvement is hoped for on this point and it was a verted that the "gov'ner' had bought a "sheer," and had said that if things didn't move right he should exercise extraordinary power whatever that may be. ' ; ' - Guiteau's trial was taken up and bid fair to result in a "hung jew'ry,' but some one interrupted proceedings by reading fr6m the Journal that Guiteau was hung, whereupon a motion to a quit prevailed. VJ The cotton ' 'outlook " was "looked into," and decided to be quite able to "look out" for itself. The weather question was an old one and had been very much spoken of for the last four or five thousand years, yet it elicited considerable "warmth" of feeling in the panel to-day. Weather is something everybody is interested in and feels quite competent to improve on, but if tho weather of to-day is the most improved article in that line, we wish to have the ugly insinuations cast at Uncle Adam and Aunt Eve for giv ing up gardening stopped at once. If this is the improved weather, what must they have had in the first invented arti cle? The sun had by this time began to get close to the "panel," aud the thermom eter rose to 98 0 , and the "Jewels" t: their feet, and as the bell struck for one ! the "panel' ' struck for dinner. As Saturday evenings are employed in collecting by merchants aud others, there will be no collection of the "Jew els" until Monday. Ti-c&Hurer' Report of the A A N. t'. Hallroad. We give below a summary of the annual report of Mr. F. C. Roberts, Treasurer of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad Company, for the year ending July 1st, 1882. In glancing over the report it will be seen that only i'20 000 has been received from the Mid land Company, the. remaining 20,000 of the annual lease money not yet being paid in; Lut as there was $20,841.56 on hand, May 31, 1881, and about $12,000 additional cash receipts before the road was turned over to Mr. Best, the exhibit on t.iat side shows to a considerable advantage. In looking over the expenditures we note only 1 6,450 has been paid in on the Principal of the Judgment held against the road. This will be disappointing to many who expected as much as $16,000 diminution of the debt, but a scrutiny of the list of expenditures will show that many of these items will not be in next year's exhibit. It will be remem bered that last year's report was made to May 31 and then more than a month elapsed before the Lease was made, and all this time the expenses were running up. Next year there can be saved the items of "wood and ties," "legal ex' pauses" and such like items aggregat iug about 18,000, which joined to the amount paid this year on Judgment would make nearly $25,000; but as the receipts will be less by about $12,000, there will be a balance of only about $13,000 to pay on the indebtedness of the road.

"It becomes our painful duty to record tne melancholy tacts atteuuent upon the explosion of a steamboat boiler in Neuse river the first that has ever oc curred in our waters. The disaster took place on Sunday morning last on board steamer Wayne, owned by Messrs. Dib ble of Newberu, whilst she was lying at the mouth of Lower Broad Creek, about forty miles below Newberu, and about 123 yards from the shore. She was bound for Bay River, for the purpose of bringing up timber for Mr. John Black well." It seems the boat had 'anchored the night previous at the point where the explosion took place. . It occurred at about four o'clock in the morning. The only white persons on board were Mr. Ossian Hanks and Mr. Rohn, the captain of the boat, both of wlioip were asleep in the cabin, Mr. Hanks occupying a berth on one side of. the boat aud Mr. Rohn the other. . There were nine per sons on board, eight men and - one wo man. ' The men, Charles, Adam, Eman uel, Bell, Oliver, Sam, John and Tom" The woman's name was Patience, the property of Mr. John Durand. She had been employed as cook on board for the past eighteen months. Charles, Adam, Emanuel and Sam belonged to Mr. John Blackwell, Bell to Mr. John M. Roberts and Oliver to Mrs. Eliza Vail, all of Newbern. At the time of the explosion, Oliver, Sam and Adam were on the bow, haul ing up the anchor. Charles was stand ing on the upper deck, directly over the boiler. Emanuel was asleep in a berth, along side the boiler. Bell was in the act of calling up Emanuel, John was oh the guards, and Tom was at the helm. Patience, the cook, was asleep on the floor of the ladies' cabin. As the explosion took place the steam and water forced their way forward, and drove all who were on deck over board. ' " Four of the negro men, Charles, Emanuel, Adam and Bell lost their lives, either front being scalded or from drowning. The boiler was thrown vio lently through the whole length of the boat, crushing everything that opposed if, as it went.; Patience, tho cook, was killed outright by the boiler, and car ried overboard by its force. Besides the four negro men named above, who were forced overboard and drowned or scalded to dealth, Sam and Oliver were forced into the water. Sam was rescued by Mr, Hanks as he was holding by the cable, and Oliver swam ashore. They were both badly scalded Messrs. Hanks and Rohn escaped un hurt, as did al&o John and Tom the two former almost miraculously, as the boiler was forced through the cabin where they lay asleep, and passed very near to each. The boat was mu.'h shat tered, and the water poured into the cabin at once, which circumstance prob ably aided' in protecting those below from being injured by the steam, i,s the water cooled and condensed it. The Wayne sank to the depth of eight or ten feet, the boiler being under her. Those killed were found some days after the accident. No blame was attached to any one. The boiler was well made, and it was one of those accidents that seems will occur sometimes, however careful one may be. This was the last of the Waiine- The Messrs. Dibble had a new bout after this, which they called the North State, of which I will tell, or let Dr.. R. R. Berry tell in our next. But, Messrs. r-ditors, let me say, as it seems not out of place at this time, that before me is as follows in the Neics of June 25th, 1853: FOURTH OULY. The committee appointed by the Com pauies Nos. 1 & 2 to make arrangements for the celebration of the approaching Fourth of July would report tlie follow ing programme: The day will be ushered iu by the ringing of bells. At sunrise a Federal salute of thirteen guns. At noon a National salute of thirty one guns. At sunset a Federal salute of thirteen guns. Half-hour guns will be tired during the lay. At night a magnificent display of fire woi ks on the river, at the foot of Broad street. John D. Flanner, J. W.. Canner, Win. H. Oliver, D. S. Willis, J. M, F. Harrison, Zacharia Brow n, S. W. Howard, John 8. Green, Alex. Justice, Thos. D. Jones, Win. H. Jones, Chas. S. Allen, Committee. Kinston items. It is now extremely dry, hot and dusty, but with a fair prospect of having tne situation altered very soon. Miss Emma Howell, daughter of Rev J. K. Howell, ot Raleigh, is stopping with E. F. Cox, Esq., visiting her friends ana acquaintances m tins place. Lewis Grady of Kinston believes he ought to keep and pay out the county iuuus ior ine nexi two years, and is looking out for the office of county treasurer. . ' Wm. W. Dunn, Robert B. Gilliam, Alex. Sutton, D. M. Stanton and Capt. W. S. Byrd each thinks the Probate Court judgship of Lenoir county "would exactly suit mis cniiu. It is believed here that Jarvis aud the Richmond and Danville Syndicate have buttoned the flaps of their breeches over W.J. Best and tho Midland Railroad Syndicate. If so, they will make a haul of the entire "Mullet Road" and a few Piekerell. Capt. Webb is linishim; un his new boat,having nearly framed and weather boarded the deck and put in an Eclipse engine. She steamed up this af ternoon and made several trial trips up and down the river, all her machinery work ing well. She sails under the name Of "Snow Hill," and w ill carry one hun dred bags of cotton. Another Boom lor Carteret. Mr. M. P. Green of Rhoos Island came to Beaufort on Saturday last in search of a location for an oil and guano factory. A brief survey, satisfied him that this was tho place and within 42 hours the "North Carolina Oil & Guano Co," had leased the point of land at Lenoxville and arrangements were completed to begin work at once. Mr. O. E. Maltby of Norfolk. Va. is associated with Mr. Green, and they expect to have a facto ry iu operation within 60 days that will have a capacity of from 800 to 1000, barrels of lish per day. About 40 hands will' be constantly employed and the whole county will receive an impetus from this additional industry. W. L. ARENDELL, BOARDING HOUSE, MOUUtlKAl) CITY, N. 0.
