Letter from (Juiiu-y, Mass. i QciNCY, Mass., April 12, 1882. Wo are here for a week to visit the schools so justly celebrated for their excellent system, a day's visit convinc ing us it would be to our advantage to hour school is no longer a myth, can we not havo a public library? Wo certainly believe if its advantages were seriously thought of we could have union in that direction too. A visit to the Girls' High School, Bos ton, was more than interesting, the lectures on history, geometry, Goldsboro MeHgesaewjcr; Mayor Bryan baa returned from his visit to the springs, and is prepared to dispense justice in bis reception rooms as usual. No postponement on account of weather. Our physicians inform us of tbe unusual prevaleucy of chills aud fever. Tbe whole county is on a big shake. Last Saturday we saw three men stretched upon tbe floor of a Wal nut street grocery store, each in tbe rigors of a chill. Goldsboro Baptist Review : A lew bales of new cotton in market last week. Price less than 12 cents. At present tbe Golds boro markets are very unsettled, particularly tbe grain market. Ibis country has not ' recovered from the financial drain made upon it by the circuses. They make a clean sveep.- Most of tbe llo- inaii Catholics of Ibis town, are among our best citizens. A man's religious principles are one thing, and that which constitutes a good citizen quite another. This is a land of religious freedom. Washington North State Presx: Rumor says that a blind man by the name oi l.allance, at or near Lake Landing, Hyde county, sold a few days ago to a person calling for calomel, some strycknine. A por tion was given to a young lady and tbe balance taken by Mr. Thos. Midgett. The woman died but by successive treatment Mr. Midgett was saved. When will our people learn to be cautious in tbe administration of medicine, and know that a law exists forbidding the sale of poison only by druggist and qualified for such business.

Houston, of Philadelphia. The Examiner says the stockholders will lose all of their stock, but tbe mills will go ou. There is ground for hope that certain energetic young North Car olinians may take bold of them aud make them a part of the prosper ous future assuredly in store for Fayettevllle.

New lierne. Wilson Siftings. We find the manufacturing inter ests of New Berne is fast increasing. The wooden plate factory, Capt. S 11. Gray, proprietor, is doing an immense business, it has a con tract to furnish all the plate possi ble for the next five years and they are working day and night. Capt Gray deserves thanks of the citizens of New Berne, as well as North Caro lina generally tor his untiring en ergy in inaugurating of new enter prises and -new industries. New Berne should feel proud of such a citizen. . , Maj. A. II. Dennisou has starte a cotton seed oil factory aud is do ing a : splendid : business. It is a new feature in our manufacturing interests and bids fair to become an important one. " After the crude oil is made .here it is shipped north, and there made into refined oil which is made iuto lard and but ter. ! Another new enterprise is the Rice Mill, which is run by 'Elijah Ellis. It is also doing a hue bust ness, and we hope it will cause the raising of much rice m this vicinity, The cotton factory which has not beeu at work for some time owing to the want ot material, we under stand, will soon begin operation. No one can well believe therapii advancements which New Berne has undergone'without' visiting the city and seeing it with his own eyes. That it is growing ouward and upward no oiie will doubt, am we predict that the "Elm City" will yet take the lead of North' Carolina cities as it did in times past and gone. e wait and hope tor it "God speed the event."
