Some of our valuable contemporaries '' are discussing the propiety : of coming , down to the cash system and demand ing pay for their , papers in advance.

We had the pleasure, on Friday night of hearing a rehearsal of 'Patience," by the amateurs of our city who have been preparing this popular play for several weeks, and will appear before the publio at the theatre next Wednes- day evening. '. We assure our citizens that a rich treat is in store for all who like a pleasant evening's entertainment, The best musical talent in the city will appear in the lilay. The notable feat- ures in the rehenrsall on Friday night were -the parts played by Patience, Gros- venor, liuntliorno, Angela and baplnr. The sweet voices of Patience and An- feuia w411.wpw1w.auy auuienco, ana u I.unthome can only teach Lady Jane to loon at lUe audience while pointing in another direction, tho play will be a grand success. 1 there is one noticeable feuluro m the trial of the Oaksniith cases against the Midland Hallway Company now going on in this city. The casus are being tried betoie a Justice who is Secretary ind 'treasurer of a rival corporation to the Ut'ltmdaiit corporation. And not- withsitaudirif!; tlio Superintendent of the' 'defendant' corporation filed an affidavit that he dd not think mo corporation whom ho repre sented could get iutico iu this court, iho Justice persist in trying the oasen.' We arc not a lawyer, but the question pre.iunte itself to our mind, would one of our Judges of the ouptr ior court try a qaso under similar cir cumstances V Wo have a high regard for the Justico who is trying these cas es but we hardly think a fair and im partial public opinion will endorse his action in this instance. Iu saying this we intend no reflection on the court. If Capt. Oaksmith rendered services to the Midland Co. ho should be paid; but at tho same time the Co. is entitled to a fair and impartial hearing. The OukKniitli Trial. Justice Biinson's court did not to work until 12 o'clock yesterday. Case No. 8, an action brought by Capt. Oak smith against Midland Railway Co. for 200, on account of services rendered iu landing cargo of barque A'cusens A jury consisting of six men were empaneled and the case opened. Capt Oaksmith took the witness chair and was granted the privilege of an addi- season of the year prevailed m this sec tional stool udou which to lav his huire tion oalast Sunday niSht anJ Monday pile of papers. A few questions from his counsel. W. W. Clark, and the ex- amination-direct-is closed. Then comes the tug of war.' The cross exam ination is conducted bv Mr. Nixon, and no matter how searching, or with what ingenuity they are put, the witness would at once see the point and be pre- Dared for it. While counsel discussed noints of law that would arise durinir the examination the Capt. would busy himself in : looking over his papers At: tho close of his testimony, which wasn Bubstance about tho same as in the other cases, the court took a recess until 8 o'clock. Upon the reassembling of the court, Hon. C. C. Clark dropped in and put in a few licks for the plaintiff. Col. J. the wind at Hatteras blew with a veloo Wl Andrews was introduced by de- ity of 90 miles per hour. The schooner fendant corporaticn, but his testimony was ruled out as irrelevant. Mr. J. P. Cadigan was introduced and the most of his testimony shared a similar fate, Mr;. A, C. Davis, the R. , R, agent at Morehead City, was sworn and testified that Capt. Oaksmith spent .about two hours per day at the warehouse while the Reusens was unloading. ' : Mr. T. A. Henry was" also introduced and told something of the trouble in se- curing bonds for warehouses, which he said was very simple and a duty which any inan of ordinary intelligence could perform witli the law and forms provi- ded by the government, before him. At the close of his testimony the case was given to the ; jury without argument, who returned a verdict for fifty dollars in favor of the plaintiff. Case No. 4 is set for Jriday noxt' ' ' ' The' Wilson T Advance: i The farmers are badly behind with their,, crops. Two negroes near Barefeot's MillSatur- day night engaged in a fight, i One of them had a gun which fell to the floor, discharging the load in the foot of a col- ored woman standing near by.

Durham Tobacco Plant: Mr. Wm Bost, of Clear Creek township, Forsyth county; has an infant seventeen days old that weighs only 1- pounds.; Its face is so email that a1 silver dollar will cover it. 1 This is probably the smallest living child ever known. It is most of the time apparently asleep or in a comatose condition Washington, N. C. Watch-Toiccr: The youngest child of Sidney Barr, of Chocowinity, whs found dead in bed last Tuesday morning. Tno child was ap- parently wej! when the family retired, and the cause of death is unknown We noticed during a late trip in Wash' incton county, that the farmers are eo- ing into tho truck business to consid- v..... r k ing well, and if a cold snap don't come quite a handsome sum will be realized this season. Beaufort county has soil adapted to the growth of peas, and if our farmers would only make a move in that direction, they would get rid of the moiftraee svstem. Raleigh iVeira and Observer : The rail way velocipede is certainly a curiosity. It is in charge of Mr. Doyle, linesman, lie rnado the run from Raleigh to Gary in twenty-five minutes. The odd look ing machine attracted much attention there, as well as the depot here. It is now at Merry Oaks but will bo brought back here in a day or two. A ven erable rind esteemed lady of this city is the owner of perhaps the only painting in existence of the old capital at Ral eigh, which was destroyed by fire so many years ago. The painting is said to bo an accurate one. If possible, the State should obtain possession of it. The capitol ought to be made a regular treasure-house of such interesting curi osities. Chatham Record : Mr. James P. John son, who Uvea about two miles lrom this place, died very suddenly on last FricUy morning. From the circum stances surrounding his death it was rumored that he died from the effects of the liquor that he had drank the day before, but as no one made the neces sary affidavit the coroner did not hold an inquest. One of the most violent - . .... . storms tnat we nave ever Known at any " was a war 01 tlie elements, ana was a steady downpour of rain, snow and eleet' whil the wind blew withKreat veloC1 ttnrt force- " beSan t0 8now abcmt noon on Sunday, and continued untii dark- when il beSan to rain' which fell all night in torrents, and which was "liowea cany next morning Dy a anv- I l.ij1.i-1 i 1 ; . i ,nS sieeu mai oeac uowii wim piuiess Power' and this in tum gave way to an- other snow-storm, and the great large flakes came down fast and furious for several hours. The rain that poured down, on Sunday night, - raised the creeks around town higher than ever before known. Beaufort ' Telephone: During the storm on Monday, last we understand T. M. Thomas of this place was blown ashore and a dispatch to that effect was gent her owner. The schooner Ogeechee was sent to her relief. Mr. James Ma- son informs us that on Friday of last week a man by the name of Elijah Can- ady who resides on New River, , was drowned in that stream. He had , been to a country store across the river and imbibed too freely, and his canoe was capsized on his return. Up to the time of Mr. Mason's departure on Saturday the body had not been found. A new sharpie is being built by Mr. Cice- rC Willis for partios in town.- She wjll be 32 inches.deep, 88 feet long and fin- ished, first-class. ' She will be UBed as a mail and passenger boat between Beau fort and Morehead City, and is expect- 1 pdfo be tlie safest and fastest ' sailing small craft in the harbor. The-Luoia, Manlv. and the others will have to look to their laurels'. Capt. Turner is after them. The master of the schooner Mary E. lYeinerietsiS. : ',tnls: port with stone for the government works, makes the melancholy statement that in the month of September last, a vessel laden .with Btone sailed from a Northern port, bound South, - which has never been heard from: and further, that on .board said vessel were his father, brother,' a broth-in-law, and intended brother-in- law, all of whom have no doubt found watery grave. The whaling crew at Shackelford s Banks struck a bonanzo on Friday last. A school of black-fish or cow-fish, averaging about 10 feet in lenght, ' came 'inside' tfie harbor and large. The carcasses were disposed of to advantage, and now the crew are ready for the monsters of the deep. Mr. R. B. Cox has about completed his arrangements for erecting a new. saw and grist mill in Beaufort. The ma chinery has been ordered, and will be of the very best, and contain all the la test improvements. Wreck Point Cove is thename of the new harbor which nature has constructed within a dozen miles of Beaufort. Capt. Jno. Nelson of the schooner Clierubim, who has recently landed at that point a cargo of ice for the use of the fish dealers there, says he prefers it to any port to which he has ever carried a cargo. It situated in what is known as the 'Bight" of Cape Lookout, on tho West side; is accessible at any hour of the day or night; is free from port charges, and has within it a wharf at which vessels may lie and unload in perfect safety. The Cherubim is the first vessel that ev er cleared for and entered this harbor. La Grange Items. Some sickness in tho country, mostly pneumonia and throat disease. Edwards & Murchison, J. S. Wooten & Bro., H. E. Dillon and other mer chants in the place are receiving their spring stock of goods. The discussion of the "no fence law" will occasionally spring up. If the peo ple would take the Kinston Itemizer's advice "plant potatoes" it would be better. Joe Sutton says that his hogs are dy ing of a nev disease, "the peeps," since they have been shut up, they stand and peep through the cracks of the fence, and thus die of tho "peeps." Rom" Johnson, the Messenger's agent, was in town Friday, and had turn at spinning yarns with Fields, of the hotel. Fields silenced his battery at one shot, and did'nt try. Johnson gave it up, and Fields is still game. Mr. John L. Hardee, a citizen of this place died this (Friday) morning; aged years. Mr. Hardee was one of the nrst settlers 01 this town and at one time did an extensive mercantile busi ness here. He was a soldier in the Con federate army and lost his right arm in the great civil strife. The good people of this town and the surrounding coun try, sympathize with the bereaved fam iy- The planting season being at hand, the following will show the feeling of the farmers from hereabouts, in regard to planting cotton the present year: Shade Wooten, of Green "I shall plant the same as last year. I first plant for my supplies, the balance of my farm I put in cotton. " Noah Rouse "I shall reduce the acreage one half, but I want to make as much cotton as last year. I shall use from twelve to fifteen dollars worth of manure, cotton seed, stable manure, acid phosphate and kainit to the acre, and hope to realize double the quantity. per acre." J. S. Wooten "I shall cut off my cotton crop one fourth at least." Col. J. W. Isler, of Wayne-"I shall reduce my cotton crop about One third, but intend, by extra manuring, etc., to raise as much cotton. I have planted more oats and wheat this season than ever before, and have a larger lot of hogs than usual, and to these I expect to give especial attention." J. W. Daly, of Wayne "Through my locality, about the same amount of cot ton will be planted this, as last year, u. 0. wooten"i snail not increase my cotton crop this year, nor will there beany increase in my neighborhood, but rather a decrease. Those who raise their supplies will plant about the same, while those who do not, will rather de crease." " I. Wooten "I shall plant about as much as 1 did last year I shall certain ly not increase any, : I raise my corn every year and think that my; surplus snouia De in cotton. "... Rev. G. W. Sanderlin "I planted one hundred and sixty acres in cotton last year, l shall plant eighty his just half. 1 intend to manure higher than before, and make more cotton per acre, Particular attention will be given to raising grasses, timothy, etc., which pays better than cotton. I shall also in crease my corn crop and use my best ef forts to raise my supplies.-' Mr. San derlin 's ideas in regard to the duties of the farmers are good and if adopted would soon place this branch of indus try on a solid basis'. An article to tle duuitNAi., irom nis pen occasionally, wouia oe reaa witn interest. ,. w , o. uzzen "i snail reduce mv crop of cotton about thirty acres." Thos. Sutton, of Bucklesberry "The cotton crop on my place will be slightly reduced. I have a good will not to plant any. So far as I have been able to learn there will be no increase in my neigh- Dornooa." , .. . - ' Joe Sutton "I shall cut off about one sixth can't tell about others." Levi Hill "I shall plant about as usual but try to make more I do this every year." .v J.& D. Wood "We never. go into cotton extensively shall not do so this year, we try to make supplies, and let the balance be in cotton.1 1.7.,.,.. .... ,, COMMERCIAL. NEW BERNE MARKET.
