V . llice Sale. Big rice day yesterday. 'About 4,000 " tushels changed hands at $1.00 to $1.07, and near 4,500 bushels on the docks waiting sale. The rice trade in this city for a year is equal to a sale of 10,U00 bales of cotton. Thanksgiving Offering;. Mr. J. W. Moore collected ou Thurs day $13.25 for the Oxford Orphan Asy lum. He did this in a very short time, receiving only 25 cent contributions. The collections at the Methodist Church for same object was $14.10; at ' the Baptist Church, $0.00; and at the Presbyterian Church, $20.00. ' Always. . Mr.-Walter Barrington, nt Reel Bros. & Askins, tells of a very aged colored woman at Bairds Creek in Pamlico county. She was born in 1768, eight . years before the Declaration of Inde pendence, and is now 114 years old. Her name is Fanny Always a most appropriate name. The proof of her . age is pretty fair and the old lady has a very vivid recollection of Lord Corn- wallis. She is very active and enjoys fine health. Graded School Note. Mr. Tilman Paul, of Pamlico, entered the Grad ed School yesterday. . Miss Fannie Burkhead has recovered ' from the supposed attack of diphtheria (had bad sore throat simply) and is ready for school again. Doubtful whether any diphtheria has been in the city at all. Dr. W. H. Barker, of Carteret, has rented a house in the city and will move his family here the 1st of January for : the purpose of sending his children to school. . River Steamers. The steamer Trent arrived yesterday from Bay River with 2,984 bushels rice 796 bushels corn, 40 bushels cotton seed and 52 bales cotton. The steamer L. H. Cutler from Pol- loksville yesterday with 82 bales cotton 428 bushels rice, and 3,041 feet lumber, Nense came in on Thursday evening with 85 bales of cotton from Jolly Old- . Fields. .:.',. . Kinston, from Kinston, brought in 103 bales of cotton and several passengers , Contentnea reached port from Jolly Old Fields with 70 bales of cotton and , 400 bushels of rice. The Masquerade. i The Masquerade at the Skating Rink on Thanksgiving night was very en joyable. Miss Florence Berry repre sented icy Winter; Miss Fannie Clark Autumn, and Miss Malcolm, Summer T. P. Clarke, Esq., made a very faithful Bluebeard, and Mrs, Fred. Olds, of Raleigh, a most accomplished skater represented the very timid but graceful frau of the Bluebeard in question ; Miss , Maud Perry was a charming country girl, while Heibert Willis and Charles 'McSorley got more falls to the square inch of flooring than the whole room combined. Messrs. llollowell & Henry handled their crowd easily and kept them in good order. Attempt at Burning. Some scamp who is destined to serve ' a term in the penitentiary or end his days on tho gallows, attempted on Thursday night, to burn tht school building once occupied by Miss Corinne Harrison, and now being fitted up with an additional building for a dwelling by Mr. W. B. Boyd. A large piU of laths had been placed .under the house by the carpenter, ana tne incendiary, - no doubt thinking thesa were dry, ad ded to them a lot of dry grass with paper unuerneatn, but rortunately tne lire smothered down, the laths having been taken from the water but a day or two before. Several attemps of this Kort have been made on the property of the city lately, ine journal would delight in sotn; the perpetrator of this kind of deviiiry brought to justice. Cotton Te.terday. Biggest break of the season yesterday, and the lowest price. Cotton had accu mulated on the yard on account of no sales on Thanksgiving day, and yester day about 450 bales were sold from 9 to 40, closing at 9.30 for Middling. The weighers were kept very busy and had not closed up late in the evening. New York futures were lower than at any time this year, but recovered a little in the evening.

His views on Legis lative matters we willnotice soon. Capt. J. S. Lane, of Pamlico, is in the city with a lot of rice for sale. He led the market, getting $1.07. Hon. J. W. Shackleford and Cyrus Thompson, Esq., member elect to the Legislature from Onslow, spent Thanks giving day in the city. Mrs. F. P. Olds, of Raleigh, is visiting Mrs. Mary Bayard Clark. Mr. Robert Lehman and sister re turned yesterday morning from a visit to Philadelphia. Charlie Hancock reports 39 birds slain by the Lenoir Representative and him self on the Thanksgiving hunt. The Journal doffs its cap for a large bunch sent to the office. Mr. A. Mitchell, Kinston's boldest horse trader, was in the city on Thurs day. He was captured, on arrival, by Sheriff Hahn not as Sheriff but as a brother horse-jockey and treated to the best Thanksgiving dinner in the city of New Berne. Bluebeard Continued. The case of State vs. Ben Hill was called on Friday morning and contin tied. The defendant claimed that he had an important witness, one Alvey Smith, who could prove that he was in New Berne on the night of the murder. A second affidavit made by the pris oner although the first was sufficient for a continuance was that the article "Bluebeard" in Thursday's Journal had a tendency to prejudice the minds of the community against him and he couldn't get a fair trial. The prisoner's counsel, we learn, ex pressed surprise that the paper should have published such an article just on the eve of trial. We can only say that the day has passed when a live newspa per will fail to publish news, no matter upon whom it may fall. And a refer ence to the files of the Journal of Oct. 13th, wherein we published the evi dence taken by Justice Brinson, will show that the resume on Thursday morning was not at all overdrawn. Nay, we made no reference this time to the prisoner's attempt to bribe a witness as shown by the testimony of one Gar nett Moye. With the prisoner's guilt or innocence the Journal has no con cern; it only proposes to publish the news. Death of Mr. A, 6. Hubbard. At half past eight o'clock yesterday morning, the oldest member of the NewBernoBar, A. G. Hubbard Esq., departed this life to the sincere regret of the entire comniun'ty. Mr. Hubbard was born in Caswell county in 1819, and in his 20th year graduated at Chapel Hill, having ob tained a collegiate training through the kindness of the Philanthropic Society of that Institution. He vead law in Raleigh under Gov. Manly, and in 1841, moved to New Berne and entered upon the practice of that profession to which he has since devoted his entire life. He was County Attorney for Carteret for a number of years, and with that exception and being one of the Trustees of Newborn Academy, he has lived a private citizen. His literary attain ments were wide and varied, and he possessed," perhapsr more classical ac complishments than any other member of the New Berne Bar. As an attorney, he was zealous and persevering,' hold ing his clients interests paramount to every other issue. And to his friends, in social intercouse, he was always genial and kind. , His virtues were many and his associates at the Bar will especially mourn his departure. V He will be buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery on Sunday, his funeral taking place from the Methodist church at 3 p, m. Members of the Bar are request ed to meet at his residence at half after tivo o'clock. ' i ' The Gymnasium. The Committee on Gymnasium Enter tainments, Messrs. Ives, Manly and Roberts, are perfecting their plans to wards securing some most excellent entertainments. It is desired to orga nise the amateur musical talent in the city and give late iu the season, Sulli van's Operette, "Patience;" and if the care and attention is given in getting it up as was shown in Pinafore some time ago, it will be a brilliant success and draw largely from the neighboring towns. There are some voices in New Berne that are rarely equalled on any stage, and it is a treat to hear them at any time. And while this is in prepa ration some lighter pieces will probably bo prepared and given to the public; This Gymnasium enterprise ought to receive the warmest support ana en couragement from the moral portion of the community. To provide a place for iunocent amusement for the young is one of the gravest duties rcstiug on a community. Young people need recre ation. They ought to have it, and they will heve it. If the Puritanical spirit exists in parents the boys will hunt for pleasure in secret, and bad compauy will quickly help to debase and ruin them. Strict repression never did make a child good and never will. The Gymnasium will be a mngnificent building, a credit to the city and com munity, and when finished will be ever open for ladies and gentlemen to meet and enjoy pleasant recreation. We think its capacity for doing good stands next to the city's churches and Sunday schools. Convicts Coming. The letter below indicates that the convicts are soon to be sent. Mr. Sim mons has written to Mr. L. Francks of Richlands, one of the Quaker Bridge road commissioners to come over, and as soon as proper arrangements can be made the force will be sent on. As to whether they work first on the Trenton road or on the Quaker Bridge road, the Journal has no preference, Jones county is entitled to certain work from them, and if the law had been complied with these convicts would have been sent long ago. The Journal has urged all the time that Gov. Jarvis and the Penitentiary Board were deliberately deceiving our people when they alleged that there were no convicts to be had for this work, and in confirmation, we append below a statement from the News and Observer of November 29th, showing that one hundred and sixty-Jive convicts had been at work on farm and at a brick yard. Now that farm work is over for the season, they will allow the law to be carried out. If the Democratic party wishes to succeed two years hence the Legislature in January next had better give the Penitentiary Board a little investigation. Raleiqh, N. C, Nov. 29v 1882 COL. F. (. SIMMONS, Ch m Board Commiisioners Quaker Bridge Road. Dear Sir: The Board of Directors' of this Institution now find that they have some convicts that can be sent to your road, and have authorized me if possible to find work that can be done during winter and if so to organize and send down a force as soon as practicable Therefore, knowing ttiat you are well acquainted with the work on the entire line I write to know if you will help me in this matter, and if so please come up at once or write me fully on the subject. I have been informed that it would not be practicable to work in the swamps this winter, but as there is work on the (Jore creek and Trenton end, as provided by last General Assembly, that might be done this winter, and then the force might, be turned on the swamp work as soon as the weather is suitable in the spring. Would this arrangement meet with your views in the matter? Could Jyou manage to have shanties built at once for the camp and at about what cost? as we would prefer to have the shanties ready when the hands are all sent down, unless there is some place nearby where the convicts might be kept while building the shanties, and that money could be saved by using convict labor in the construction of the shanties. If I could leave hero I would run down to see you, but it is impossible for me to leave, therefore I am forced to trouble you. Please let me see or hear from you fully as early as you can make it con venient. Yours very respectfully, W. J. Hicks, Architect and Warden. (From News-Observer. There were on November 1st, 1882. 996 convicts in the State. Of these 134 were white males, 3 white females, 802 colored males, 57 colored females. The number at the penitentiary was at that time 412. of whom 247 were kept all the time in the stockade, while 165 were at work on farms, at the brickyard, etc Stonewall Items. Capt. Jno. J. Brabble, of this place, died last Wednesday night about 0 o'clock, of Kidney disease, aged 62 years. Mr. Thos. N. Everett, of the New Ditch section, of this county, died about 8 o'clock last Wednesday night, of Cancer on nose and face; aged 70 years, Kinston Items. Corn cob stopper don't hurt de lasses indejug.

Last Tuesday was a day the average school boy likes to see too rainy to go to Bchool, but not rain enough to keep him out of the streets. Now is the time for thanksgiving din ners and church festivals, ilie con tented and the pious can indulge in oys ter stews, boned turked and chicken salad, if they can stand the ultitudi nous charges of the Lord 's agents. The crack farmerof theLnusin swamp region, in a dream, got entirely away with himself a few nights ago. In his flight into dreamland, he visited, in his "robe de nuit," Justice Coleman's of fice, searching for a pair of breeches and got into the same pair with the jus tice. The twain, it is said, presented a formidable spectacular vision. The finance committee of Lenoir county met last Wednesday and exam ined the official affairs of Benj. Sutton, the county treasurer. They found every thing correct and satisfactory, the treasurer, in a spirit of accommodation having paid out about five hundred dol lars more than he had received. This is one of the officials who leads "the precise lifo" like tho Goddess Diana. There is nothing new under the sun. The world moves in a circle, the line of beauty. Fashion, like history, is over repeating itself . Th3 stove pipo beaver is again the "idol of the hour." School girls reject all escorts who do not sport this orntmental cha.)eau. Young ladies follow it like French soldiers did the white plume of Navarre. Sunday e ven ing promenades are the glories of the day as well as the exaltation of young men with beaver hats, who fully realize the Napoleonic apothegm, that "forty centuries are looking down upon them."
