The school interests of New Berne and of North Carolina have lost a staunch friend by the death of J. W. Harper, editor of the New Berne Daily Journal. Mr. Harper was fair, fearless, and forc ible in the expression of his opinions, and for that reason carried great weight with him. He was a strong ad vocate for the best methods in educa tion. His loss is bemoaned by the whole community. The State Press abounds in his praise as a man and a journalist. State Editor, D. B. Johnson, A. M., New Berne. .. fiorney Handed Covetousness. Charlotte Journal There is a model farmer in the lower part of this county who has a fine farm so much coveted by his neighbors that he does not dare leave home for "any length of time for fear of being ousted. He desires very much to visit Florida this spring to look after landed inter ests there, but expresses his firm belief that in case he should do so his farm will be in the possession of some one else on his return. The plan of having the parish pastor to preach a series of ser mons on oavetousness during the model farmer's absence is now under consider ation and will probably be adopted. . gallons Duplin county at the low price of 40c per gallon.

He asked to be let off as light eral merchandise. For instance, when the question of duty on rice was taken up a proposition was made to reduoe the tax to one oent per pound, but we find eight . or ten Southern Senators opposing it.

His Honor then read to him the ordi nances he had violated neither one of which were sec. 11, chap. 8, but entire ly new ones and showed him what could be done with him if the ordi nances were rigidly enforced, but in consideration of his fair promises would fine him five cents and cost in each case.

It is reported that a bill has passed the Legislature giving us a "no-fence law' throughout the county ; the colored pop ulation and some of the whites are op posed to it, while the majority of the farmers favor it. Snow Hill now has five dry goods and grocery stores, five bar-rooms, one pool table and one millinery store, two churches and two preachers, two schools, an,d one newly constructed dwelling, tha', of H. D. Potter. Ransom's crew have reached Snow Hill and now propose to return to the mouth of the creek and soon finish their work on the creek, all of the appropria tion has not been expended yet the General deeming it unnecessary to go any further up the creek without an additional appropriation. Captain Webb and the rest of the boat men claim that effective work has been done by the General's crew and naviga tion on the creek rendered a hundred per cent, easier; the captain makes two trips a week, making connection with the Old Dominion line of steamers at the mouth of the creek. The Clyde line gives Capt. Webb opposition in the Con tentnea, the first steamer that ever come to Snow Hill, . , , Thia morning (Monday) the natives are aroused and astounded by the tcr rifle screaming of four steamers lying in our would-be famous little creek at Snow Hill. We are growing somewhat independent of railroads, provided we can keep a supply of water in Content nea. We find in Captain Webb an ex cellent man, and in his steamer (Snow Hul) just the thing for oar creek. He claims to have been greatly remunerat ed tor all his ertorts, and is in the high est degree encouraged in his prospect for the future- A sister boat will be constructed during the summer for Snow Hill, and the two will monopolize the whole trade. Our merchants will take stock in the present boat and help build another. v STATE NEWS. Gleaned from onr Exchanges. Beaufort Telephone: We have ill our town a colored man who is as much of a prodigy as the veritable ''Blind Tom."

We of eastern North Carolina are looking forward with great pleasure and great expecta tions to the contemplated visit of that most genial and scholarly man, the Rev. A. D; Mayo. Dr. Mayo , is enthused for his work, and, being a most inter esting and effective speaker, is a giant of strength in upbuilding and uphold ing that bulwark of American freedom, the public school. He will visit Norfolk, Elizabeth City, New Berne, Beaufort, and Wilmington, during the first week of March. Dr. Saunders, of Norfolk, Prof. Sheep, of Elizabeth City, Dr. Forbes of Beaufort, and Supt. Noble of Wilmington, will heartily co-operate with me ill making his trip most pleas ant to him and most beneficial to- us. Crowded houses await his coming. 1 Dr. J. L. M. Curry made an able and convincing address before the Legisla ture of this State not long since on the subject of education. He will deliver an address in New Berne in March. So many bills, asking for the privilege of establishing graded schools in towns and villages throughout the State, are brought before the Legislature, that Senator Dortch has introduced a gener al bill that will do away with the neces sity of special application. It is a good bill, and will, no doubt, pass. The appropriations for State normal schools will be continued. They should be in creased, but I fear that the Legislature will not so decide.
