Ernul of this county gives us the following recipe for keeping flies off horses: Take two parts of common grease, one of tar, one of kerosene oil thoroughly mix and smear it about in places on the horse.

Dixon and Street talking he broke and run; they ran af ter and arrested him. He was required to give a justified bond of two hundred dollars for his appearance at the next term of the Superior court, in default of which he was sent to jail. Failure. We regret to chronicle a mercantile failure in New Berne, the first that has occureJ in a number of years. Mr. Leinster Duffy on Wednesday, made a Deed in Trust of all his property to Phil emou Holland Jr. for the benefit of his creditors. The creditors are nut in four classes: (1.) Dr. Frank Duffy $1,200; (2) E. W. Smallwood $173; (3 W. G. Banserman & Co. $50, and Tuck er Smith & Co. ijCOO; and (4) all other creditors. We learn that Mr. Duffy has enough assets, if they could be made available, to settle up in full, but most of his money is out in accounts and mortgages which cannot be turned into cash before the fall and the impor tunity of some Northern creditors forced this Deed of Trunk We trust that he may soon tide over his ' troubles and come again." One failure can crush a man if he has the right pluck in him, The best of merchants sometimes slip up.--: - - KiimIucnh In School Blatter. Late yesterday evening a number of the business men of the city met at the office of Simmons & Manly to take some steps towards forwarding the Graded School movement. (Jn motion, Mr. George Allen was elected President, T. A. Green, Treas urer, and Clem Manly Secretary, On motion, it was resolved that the meeting be organized under the name of the Educational Association of the City of New Berne. On motion, the following resolution was adopted and . the names and amounts added as given below: We the undersigned citizens of New Berne sign and bind ourselves to give the amounts opposite our names for the purpose of education in the form of Graded School, whenever the funds of the Academy, Griffin School, and School District No. 8 of Craven county snail be united, and proper represent tion of our fund is given in the joint committee; - - .

A. Green and C.H. Blank; 2nd Ward, W. F. Roun tree; 3d Ward, Alex Miller; 4th Ward K. R. Jones. After the appointment of Committees on Plan of Permanent Organization and of Conference with Academy Trustees, the meeting adjourned to meet Wednes- day night next at Board of Trade rooms if they can be had for the purpose. We have not space left this late in the evening to talk about the matter, but we suggest to the people interested in Graded Schools that the present is the golden opportunity. Don't wait to be hunted up by the committeemen hunt them up and make your subscriptions. And in making subscriptions don't be guided by what your neighbor has put down let there be only two considera tions your zeal for the cause of educa tion, and how much you can possibly spare. Instead of paying tuition next year pay the money on this plan. The school will be much better than any we have now, and it will give New Berne such an impetus as it has never felt before. - , Several of those, who' have already subscribed say they will double their amounts if . i; shall be nece3s:trv. and General Ransom sends us word to put him down lor 8100. Let all pull to gether and the 3,000 can be easily raised. State Convention. The Farmer and Mechanic turns poet aud spins out the State Convention work in the order given below.

"Jefferson Davis has announced his intention of spending several weeks this summer at a resort in North Caro una, and the f eet is being advertised widely to induce, his -tld Confederate comrades" to patronize the same place. New York Witness. The above is a specimen of para graphs floating around the North, based on the fact that Dr. G. W. Blacknall in vited Mr. Davis to spend some weeks at the Morehead City hotel. We doubt if the ex-President will come, or ever ex pected to do so. Farmer & Mechanic. The Crop m Pender and Sninpiioii. Dr. E. Porter, of Pender, who was in the city yesterday, says the crops in that county are improving rapidly. The cotton, which was believed to have been seriously injured by the late cool snaps, is now coming out finely and praising a good yield. . Capt. R. P. Paddison, who has re cently travelled through Sampson, gives a like encouraging report as to the crops in that county. He says the farmers are very much encouraged. Wil. Star. Kinston Items. A. W. Whitfield reports crops good in Trent township. Chauncey Gray says the crops in Woodiugton are getting on finely. His cotton is doing well. Good- crops will be made. Vice combined with intelligence is more dangerous than vice enshrined in ignorance. The former controls; the Utter may be controlled. Let us "watch and pray.'' Our Inferior Court two-thirds rural sits heavily upon the "early 7 o'clock hour of the cranky judge." They meet at 10 o clock, and then perforin more than a full day's work. .

Xow get out your man of Emt and studv it, i'or. the war has begun. Wake's wheat crop beats all her previous records as a, grain grow ing county. The normal schools are ending their terms. They have been better attended and doubtless more useful than ever before. Kal- eigh is represented at several of them. We regret, to learn of a painful accident to Mr. W. II. Phil lips, assistant chemist of the State chemical station. lie was en joying his vacation -at Chapel Hilland was at a pond near, there bathing, when, diving into the water, he struck a sharp snag which lacerated liis leg badly. He will probably be laid up for a mouth or two with his injuries. Kaleigli Farmer and Mechanic : Judge Kutlin is at Warm Springs. Wake Forest did not elect a President. The matter was left to committee, viz. : Dr. Skinner, Dr. J. D. Huff ham. Col. Polk and Cant. Cooke. Many Southern officers were in the Egyptian army ten years ago. Geu. Stone of the Yan kee army, who was so badly whipped at Ball's Bluff, is stiil Chief of Staff to the Khedive, we believe. Col. Wharton-J. Green is to deliver an address at the State Fruit Fair. And, by the by, we trust he will be deputed to carry the banner of the Democracy in the Third District. Without knowing who will be brought forward for the nomination, we can at any rate be sure there will be no question as to the merits and deserts of Col. Green. Green:(boro Pat riot : The effect of the war news on breadstuff's will be seen by reference to our market quotations to-day.- The trial of William Edwards to-day on an in dictment charging him with slan dering and detaining the character of W. F. Gray, ended in his conviction.-: Judge Gilliam arrived last night and is quartered at the Mc Adoo. He is a hot weather Judge and enjoys the luxury of July terms.

Our valued cotemporary, the Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic, speaking of the many benefits of schools, says: ''What is better than a good school ? We de light ill saying good words for such schools. Sunflowers are commend ed to some sections as a nrotection against miasma anil pestilential fevers. Education is the only remedy for the stagnant marshes of Popular Ignorance, that send forth the foul odors of vice, the hot fevers of passion and prejudice. the dead epidemics of corruption aud crime. Ana the schools, like sunllow ers, not only correct the evil, but also (out ill u:i 1 1 v noint, th wnv l.v llw.ii- bright faces to the sun of enlightenment aud progress. If every journalist in the State was as staunch a friend and advo cate of education as is Bio. Shotwell, each succeeding court would find less criminal prosecutious on its dockets, the jails, the insane, the inebriate and orphan asylums would dimmish m number, and in their stead would spring up school houses, colleges and churches, arid soon the people would re joice in u prosperity and happiness born of morality and refinement, which follow as a sequence ot education. Norwood (Stanly Co.) Gleaner. Disclaiming the kind compliment (for the State press has been unusually wide-awake on the subject for several years past, and some have gone bevond us in both zeal and ability of advocacv). we print the above to help hammer the nail of Popular Education into the Pub lic Mind; for while our people are well meaning and patriotic, they are very much engrossed of late years in build ing up the War-Waste; therefore need a good deal of stirring on subjects which do not immediately affect their every aay me ana pursuits. t anner am Me chanic.
