Mr. Dunn, is on the track of the boy and will probably get him. . Owing to shallow water in the Croatan Sound on Monday night caused by the storm the Shenandoali did not arrive until late yesterday evening. She sailed last night at nine o'clock with a full cargo of cotton, etc. A heavy snow storm prevailed in. the Northern and Western part of the State on Monday, v At Henderson it is report ed to have been three feet deep. At Greensboro it was twenty-one inches and very heavy at Charlotte. ' At Kit- trell's the roofs of several houses were crushed by the great weight of the snow. It is estimated that the flowers for Easter decorations of churches in New York city alone cost forty-eight thous and dollars, and was divided among the denominations ' as follows: Episcopa lians fifteen, Catholics fifteen, Presby terians eight, Methodist five, and the Lutherans five thousand dollars. . The Bteamer Goldsboro brought in on Monday night three large boxes con taining one hundred and eighty models from the Patent office at Washington City for ' the Graded ' school. 1 Prof. Johnson, with the assistance of Con gressman Hubbs and Rob.

They have re solved to advertise and sell all unpaid accounts at public auction. We suppose every town of any size has a similar society, but the idea of ad vertising and selling the unpaid ac counts is St new one and will doubtless bring many of the delinquents to time, 1. Mr. F. C. Furmau's wonderful farming and formula seem to have cre ated a-great deal of sensation among the farmnrs. Please inform me if . it wijl pay to use cotton seed meal, and what proportion, instead oi thirty bus-h- els cotton seed, as it is iu Mr. Furmau's formula, for each acre for cotton V It is impossible to get sufficient cotton seed here to mix with the other ingredients of his formula. , 2. I have a great deal of rich river mold: or muck on the river bottom. which I wish to mix or compost for cot-. ton. Will it pay mo to mix 60 bushels or more muck, with 100 or 200 pounds kainit and 200 or 400 pounds acid phos phate for each acre 'f Will it pay also to add cotton seed meal to it, uud iu what, proportion . My land averages about 850 or 400 pounds seed cotton per acre without manure. Do you think this mixture or compost will make cot ton yield well, also prevent it from shedding or rusting V New Subscribes, . . Cheraw, S.C. Answer.-1. Yes. Cotton seed meal will answer in place of whole cotton . Use one -third as much meal as seed (by weight). . : ' If your muck is rich in - vegetable matter, it will make an excellent com post with acid phosphate, kainit and cotton seed meal; add 100 pounds of the meal to every 2UU pounds of acid phos phate. The more muck the better the expense of handling being the chief consideration, looking at the matter from an economic point of yiew.

If the north is a place of darkness It is no use to drown it out, and if we can't have the walk raised, give us a ferry boat. Prof. J. D.

The weather continues cold and rainy, seriously retarding family operations and damaging fruit and other vegetation. The history of our species is made up of little except man's crimes and his errors, which is not very encouraging to them who would like to command success. 'United we stand,' but if I should turn you loose you d fall," was the happy hit "Old Bart" made a few nights since as he gathered in with a lamp-post. . A voung unmarried attorney of Kin ston thinks eating onions is the most abominable and highly-scented habit a young lady or a married one either can practice; but, he adds, in onion, as in union, there is strength. Mr. 'AcDaniel, of JoneB county, re mained over in Kinston last Sunday in the "pursuit of life, liberty and happi ness." lie found all, as he says, he never stopped at any place where shad and whisky run so freely as they do in Kinston on a bunday. .

King, dee'd and instituted proceedings to test the validity of the will in the courts.- This action, of course, interferes with the performance of the duties of the Execu tor, Mr, Davis, who is now practically enjoined from distributing the plums as quickly as "hope deferred "could wish, if, in the end, he shall not be perpetu ally prevented from dividing and pre senting the long coveted fruit at all. And now, since the lawyers have got the will into their "grip-sack," it is said, the legatees, like Milton a angels, fear "all is lost" and feel like putting up the prayer of the colored preacher when, the hat being handed around, came back with only a brass button in it, he prayed, "O Lord, I thank Thee, I got my hat back from the congrega tion." If they get the will back, with out the plums, they are prepared to die happy. Beaufort Items. been quite sick COMMEKCIAL. NEW BERNE MARKET.
