T7 a. hi. - - - 763 8 u. m. - - - 80 y p. m. - - - 7J -A horse was killed by the eastern bound tram! between Goldsboro and La Grange yesterday evening. The Journal agent is under obliga tions to Messrs. Chadwick & Potter of tl Beaufort Telephone for courtesies shown while in Beaufort. he driver of the hose horse for the Ntw Berne engine wants us to chronicle Hie fact that when the horse came to his chkrge he weighed 1250 pounds, and ' now weighs 1360. We learn from passengers on the dwn train last night that there were signs of a bloody affray at Falling Creek station. A negro was lying on the Bide ofthe road weltering in blood, and ap peared to have been stabbed in several places. The Tiger Lily came in from Hyde on Sunday evening bringing the following list of passengers! Dr. Mann, Dr. P. H. Simmons, Misses Mary and Carrie and Jennie Simmons, Mr. W. G. Murray and wife, Miss Maggie Murray and Mr. E. N. Spencer. Dr. and the Misses Sim mons are on a pleasure trip to More hcid. There will be a Union Meeting of the Free Will Baptist Church at Kit Swamp in Craven county, commencing on Fri day before the 5th Sunday in July; and a similar meeting at Bachelor's Creek jn game county at same time. We learn from Elder Hearne that although these meetings are held in the same county they are of different circuits. TKe Rain In Hyde. In talking with Dr. Simmons of Fair field, Hyde county, we learn that the heavy rains on Friday and Saturday last flooded a large portion of his county He was apprehensive of some damage to crops, but at the time he left it was too early to speak with any certainty : Your Nam In Print. Misses Corinne and Mary Hatch Harrison left yesterday morning for the Warm Springs in Madison county , N. C Mrs. W. J. Street of Kinston, is visit ing relatives in the city. Thn filil ftrHrthftmw war linro TVhispv ' I w fi,,i nit. ilZTt passed down to Morehead City last night. Got. Jno- D. Whitford returned from . Raleigh last night. Mr. Jacob F. Parrott of Lenoir passed down to Morehead last night on the war path. Clean Cotton. We gave some time ago some extracts from an article prepared by Edward At kinson showing how much the South could save by careful ginning of cot ton; The article is attracting attention anq we have a letter from Mr. John Pearce of Polloksville, who wishes to adppt the suggestion if he can get more for; his cotton. We think it can be proved that cotton buyers have hereto fore offered a premium for dirt, for the difference in prices of clean and dirty coton would not equal the etra weight made by the dirt. We hope a new era hasj dawned and that careful handling will receive its recompense. Mayor's Court. Moses Whitehurst was up for resisting an officer and sent to the Superior Court for a hearing. Miss Mollie O'Neal, an elegantly dressed, black-hat, white-feather, kid gloVed lady from Five" Points, was up for being drunk and cursing. The lady denied bitterly the charges but the evi dence was convincing and so the Mayor said "$10 and costs. " The lady said she would go in jail before she would pay and from the expression of Matthew Simmons' face (a witness for prosecu tiori) he was evidently pleased to hear this decision. She finally paid $5. . ' '" more Money. The Graded School fund had run up to 3,825 at the meeting on Wednesday last! It now runs $4,000, Mr. Alex Miller having captured $180 since the meeting. Mr. Miller deserves much credit for the work he has done in the cause. Through his efforts $3,525 of this money has been raised, and all know that the money question is the touch stone of success in such undertakings, The Trustees of the Academy meet this evening, and on Friday night another meeting of the Educational Association , will be had, and after these we hope to be able to announce that the Graded School is a settled fact Trouble In James City. For some time past there has been some discord in the A. M. E. Zion Church in James City. Elder S, B, Hunter is the local pastor and Rev. II C. Phillips is the Presiding Elder. It is claimed that the Presiding Eider is a little arbitrary and this church didn't propose to stand it. The regular time for the Elder to preach was on the 2d Sunday and he failed to come then and instead wanted to preach on the 4 th Sunday. The Trustees objectel and closed the church, but the Elder with his friends broke in through a window and now holds the fort. This is the tale as told to us, and we learn that there is considerable feeling manifested in the matter. , The Midland Iteut. On inquiring from the Secretary aud Treasurer of the A. & N. C. R. 11., we learu that the $20,000 lease money due from the Midland road on July 1st has not yet been paid. As a matter of in terest to our readers we quote section 16 of the Lease made to the Midland by the Atlantic road: Sixteenth, It is further agreed that it the party of the second part shall make aeiauii in tne payment or tne sinus oi money they have axreed to pay as reut- al semi-annually hereafter for thirty days or more, after the same shall be come due and payable, or if it shall make default in the payment of any part thereof, or if it shall fail to keep on deposit such sums of money or equiva lent in bonds as it has herein covenau ted to do, then the party of the first part upon giving at least thirty days notice to the party of the second part, shall have the right, should the party of the second part still remain in delault, to dispose of and apply the taid deposits to any un paid rent, and to enter upon aud re sume possession of said Railroad, aud ull said other property, rights, franchises, etc., of every kind and description. tiiai t and Coiiiiunn. The remarks of Rev. Mr. Eason, in tho report or his sermon, are very sug gestive. Judged by the standard Ret up is it not a fact that New Berne aud other cities in the land might be ranked as heathen or infidel cities? - We suppose not over one-fourth of the population of the city are nominal christians, and it would probably be a rash statement to say that even one-tenth of the church members consult their Bibles, as the sailor does his compass and chart. The christians of the country generally car ry out Mr. Eason 's simile literally and not in the sense intended by him. Thoy regard themselves as sailors voyaging to a foreign land, aud recognize the Bible as the chart and compass and like the body of the ship's crew who leave the reckoning of course and distance to .i. - , ai i i i. ,, 1 he Bible and map out for them the rocks and breakers and to guide. them safely into harbor. TUF. Eason 's sermon, of which the reiwrt is very imperfect, was an exceeding sensible and practical one and was calculated to do mucTk good. River and Marine. The following arrived on Sunday evening: The schooner Cora, Capt. Jones, from Swan Quarter with corn consigned to Burrus & Co. The schooner Martha, Capt. Patrick, from Washington, corn consigned to Burrus & Co. The schooner M. Came, liibbs, mas ter, from Wysockmg with corn con signed to Burrus & Co. . The sloop Eteey, M.

Ben Hill, from Philadelphia, with cargo of coal consigned to Geo. Allen. The schooner Melvin, Capt. Sabastin, from Philadelphia, with cargo of coal cousigned to Elijah Ellis The schooner Boston arrived on Sun day in ballast from Philadelphia and is loading with lumber at the Foster wharf. For the Journal. Monday Jewelry. . The day is generally a dull one at the "corner," but this being cool and pleas ant, the Panel possessed an unusual amount of good spirit; and hilarity gave place to grum silence. Did you ever see a white red bird ? was the question that set the ball in motion. .Yes and more'n that; I have seen tame wild geese yes and IVe seen adeadliveoak, and I've seen a white blackberry, and then , one had seen a man perfectly black on one side of his face, from a point on his forehead to his chin. This phenomenon had all the "remarkabili ty" knocked out of it by discovering that the other side of his face was of the same color. , ! ' Should a man be allowed to marry his widow's sister V was negatived by ono, but he was free to admit he had known a man to marry his brother's daughter which he thought much worse. The lost one hundred dollar bill was "top-' icked" aud it is wonderful how many one hundred dollar bills have been lost' just in the same way, but generally turning out in a very different way, owing probably to a want of musical taste and talent on the paft of the find er or practicality of the loser the weight of influence of the Panel is against the use of such bits of currency. Can a man lose what he does not have ? This was debated earnestly and we might say (but think we won't) learnedly. The opinion would save a good deal of money if posted in the Ex change rooms in New York as they doubtless have for those who entertain them. Tha launching of the steamer Kinston was discussed and the weight of argu ment was against the waste of good things in breaking the bottles of wiue and cottuaec on such occasions. One thought water, much more appropriate us that was to be her future element. Another thought the wine and brandy was to stay her stomach aud prevent sea sickness, while another knew they were good in case of sickness and he himself wa hardly ever well. But all agreed it a good joke on the landsman w ho mis took ' the . stern "(for the bow when he broke his'n, but he said he meant to hold on to it to the "last 3iid." Anew industry is to be introduced, one much needed which will furnish employment to a very deserving claus of citizens. It is coloring meerchaum cigar holders. The parly furnishing a cigar holder with the requisite number of cigars, has the holder handsomely colored free of charire. The Panel furnishes the seats for the workmen and beg its matches from passers by. No mechanic's lien law applies in this case, so the holder of the holders will promptly deliver the property without reference to race, color or previous con dition of servitude, when "colored." The Panel was surprised to hear that Jack Willis was preparing a marble slab for Alexander," of course they could only think of "Alex" the Great and wondered when it was going over. the question last on hand is what is the nationality of a persou born in this country w hose father and mother are both Irishmen this was undecided at the wringing of the knock-off bell. Who In Nominated. The following printed lii-t is handed us for publication. Wilson, N.

Morning services conducted ly the Pastor, Rev. F. W. Eason. Text from maims io;i. ror tins won is our God forever and ever; he will be our guide even into death." mi i i . . mere is a natural sentiment in every one's heart which whispers that, this world is not our home, but that we are only sojourners in a strange land; aud with this feeling there is an unutterable longing for something purer and better ti the future and unknown world. A man in his native land, near his home, is well acquainted with the lay of the country aud needs no guide; but in a strange laud he is continually need ing a leader to conduct him safely. So a i we are strangers and exiles in this world, and are looking for a "better country," "a home," we therefore need a guide to lead us into right paths. . ! The Lord is this guide, and his lead ing is done principally m two ways: 1. By His word. "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul. "Thy word is a lamp unto my soul." These are days of terrible neglect of God's word, and but few Christians are thoroughly acquainted with it and can always give a reason for the faith that is in them. A sailor would be pro nounced foolish who failed to constant ly consult his chart while sailing over an unknown sea. We are out on an ocean, boundless and wide, tossed up on a wild restless sea; around us are dark, waters and sunken rocks, and our sea is bounded by the sullen Gulf stream called Death. Uur chart and compass is the Bible; it is infallible and it can lead us safely through all danger into the haven beyond. What a terrible blunder do we make if we fail to con sult it at all times I . 3. God guides his people by the agen cy of His Holy Spirit. "It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Com forter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and -of right eousness and of judgment. "When the spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth." This promise is as much fulfilled now as in the days of the Apostles. The pirit comforts, sanctifies, teaches and guides us into all holiness, it never leaves the Christian and when once it has made its abiding place in man's heart, it is impossible for him to become a castaway. Not only are its everlast ing arms under the Christian through out life, but it follows him into the grave and in tho resurrection raises his body to a new life. The speaker closed by inviting those who were without the Ark to accept the Lord for their guide, His word as their compass, and the Holy Spirit as their comforter through life. ST. CYPMAN CHURCH, P. E. (COLORKD . Services by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Cassey. Text, filat. a: U. f or 1 say unto you except your righteousness exceed the righteousness ot the scribes and rhari- sees ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." The religion of Christ is positive; there is no neutral or negative ground. In action is positive evil and proceeds ei ther from cowardice, indifference or opposition. The . Pharisees were the representative religionists among the chosen people of God, and it . was per haps with surprise that the multitude heard this authorative declaration of Christ. But the divine Teacher ex plained the spiritual nature of the Ten Commandments and made them under stand that while the external observan ces might under some circumstances be easy, yet when applied in their spiritual signification, the most strict and perfect Pharisee would be condemned. We must do right to get to Heaven, We may attend church ever so regularly ; we may be always praying; we may give liberally to the church but the heart must be washed with the blood of Christ if we would be saved from sin Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith brings us to Holy Baptism and by this door we enter the church of Christ, the Lord's vineyard. In this vineyard the Holy Spirit will bring forth in as its blessed fruit, which is love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, charity against such a bring forth this fruit there is no law. They have the righteousness of Christ for their wed ding garment, and his blood washes away their sins. CHRIST CHURCH P. E. Seventh Sunday after Trinity. Ser inon by the Rector from the Text 4th verse of 18th chapter of St. Matthew Whosoever therefore shall humble him self as this little child, the same greatest in the kingdom of heaven. The discourse was directed to an ex plauation of the Humility, taught in the lext, and in many other instances iu tha course of the life of our Saviour when on earth, culminating in that crowning act of washing the Disciples feet, which St. Peter was informed "what I do thou knowest not now, but thous halt know hereafter." The church keeps the same teachings before her children now. In her servi ces among the earnest sentences are these: "Enter not into judgment with thy servant oh Lord for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. " 4 If we say that we have no sin we deceive our selves and the truth is not in us" and following this is the general confession. that, .."we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep" offended against thy Holy Laws and that there is no health in us and in the approach to the Holy Sacrament of the Lords Supper after "acknowleding and "bewailing our manifold sins and wickedness" we are taught to say "we do not presume to come to this thy Holy Table trusting in any merits of our own" and remem bering the deep and feeiing confession of the canaanitish woman we say "we are uot worthy to eat of the crams that fall from thy Table." The lack of Humility is one of the great evils of our day. It produces dis cord in the -church, and is a fruitful cause of the want of confidence between men in the world, each thinking him self better than the other as the Pharisee did in the parable. Forgetting that it is written that whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased and whosoever humbleth himself shall be exalted, and the lesson iu the words of the Text. Whosoever, therefore, tihall humble himself as this little child, the same the greatest in fhe kingdom of Heaven. Swansboro Items. Plenty of fish and clams. Mr. Sol. Gornto wishes it understood that he is not a candidate for any office, not even the office of matrimony, not withstanding he is a young widower, etc. Our Convention conies off the first Monday in August, but I don't kuow how it will work with the people. Some arrtonnd some are agaiiisfTcohven- tions here now. Rev. Asa Sydbury, a Baptist Minister for over forty years, died at his home a few days ago near Sneed's Ferry, at the advanced age of ninety years. He was perhaps the oldest minister in this county for years back. The county is alive with candidates forall the offices. Hill King, Esq., Dr. C. Thompson, Dr. E. W. Ward, C. S. Hewitt, J. W. Spicer, Esq., Col. S. B. Taylor, and, I suppose, a dozen others, are, so I hear, candidates for the Legis lature. Hope some of them will tret it. reckon just as many are candidates for Register of Deeds, if not more, j . . . . Among me most prominent is your humble servant in his own eye, of course. 1 he old Sheriff. E. Murrill. will hold the fort, I reckon, as long as he wants to, for a better Sheriff no one ever saw anywhere; aud Huggius will hold his position, too, I reckon, as we Cannot better ourselves by making a change in the C. S. C. We are having a revival which has lasted six days and nights.. On last Sunday there were between eight huu dred and ono thousand people present, the largest crowd I ever saw at a coun try church in this county, in fact in any county. Our circuit preacher, Rev. Mr. Warlick, was assisted by Revds. J. T, Kendal, of Brunswick Circuit, and Jos. Dixon or Carteret county. Mr. Kendal was our circuit preacher last year, and u one of the finest speakers and most correct reasoner for a young man I have ever had the pleasure of meeting here. He goes this week to Straits, Carteret county, to hold a protracted meeting there. Our preacher goes with him, We wish them success abundant! v, About ten or fifteen joined the Church, some considerable professed faith in Christ, and quite a large number of pen itents were the happy results of the meeting. Queen's Creek has, I think, about sixty or seventy members, per haps more, but it has the largest num ber iu the county, so I hear. Pamlico Items. noiwwuiiunuing me wet, corn, rice and cotton looks well; but without change the crop of cotton will be ver short. Messrs. Henry Lewis and Thos. Dan iels succeeded in killing an old she bear aud her cub yesterday. Bears are rather plentiful in this section to the destroyment of pork raising. The Singing School folks both young and old had an excellent and enjoyable pic nic at Bayboro Saturday last. one is allowed to judge by appearances there will be other business transacted before long. Pamlico is wet, too much so for anything except crawfishes and frogs, was informed this morning that Mr Chas. Swan said after the rain ceased last Saturday evening he had to open his plantation gate to let the water out Dr. Geo. S. Attmore who has been confined to his bed quite sick since last Friday, is better this morning. Dr, Kennedy is off to the. Glen Alpines aud that leaves a poor showing for the sick of this section, but the good health of the people remed ies the evil. Pink Hill (Lenoir Co.) Items. Corn and cotton crops are looking ex ceedingly well, and are being watered freely by nice copious showers. Old Mr. Slade Waters was buried Friday evening. Ho died on the 19th. He had been a county pauper for some time. As your correspondent has "Just finish ed up his corn crop, he now expects to take a ramble in the neighborhood to look at the crops, etc. Mr. 'Henderson Kiusey stayed with us a few nights ago on his way to visitB his daughter, Mrs. W. B. Murrill, in Onslow county. He gave us a brief ac count of his visit to Maryland, which was very entertaining. Death has again visited the house of our neighbor, Wm. A. Jones, on the evening of the 14th, and taken as its vic tim his little babe Zella May, aged 21 months. But a few weeks ago this sweet little babe was separated by death from her dear mother. She is now gone to look for her mother among the angels in heaven. The bereaved has our sympathies. ''Gen. Green" having had such i strong hold on your writer's farm caused him to neglect sending in the report of wheat crops, etc. Tha thresh ing machine bought of J. W. Grainger worked splendidly, with the exception of the fan. Our not having learned to run it well may be the cause. It drops sO much grain over that it keeps a hand, somewhat busy to carry back. Th company will meet soon and make preparations for the agent to run it. We made very good time, threshed ,000 bushels grain in the township;, about 1,800 of which was wheat. This township, which is small, but a few years ago made scarcely any small grain. We have made an increase of upwards of 500 but-hels over last year'. think your writer would be safe in saying that it averaged twelve bushels to the acre. Among those who raised the nicest grain and made the best yields' were J. K. Noble, J. E. B. Noble, J. R. Tyndal, A. G. Tyndal, J. R. Howard,' Burnett Howard, Win. A. Jones, P. S. and J. G. Erwin and Wm. B. Nunn. The Federal government last year issued li4,52 licenses to liq uor dealers, of which 170,640 were' retail licenses. It appears from this that a licenses is issued to ibout every 100 men.
