The prospects of a publio road being opened up from Core Creek to Trenton has given the former, and in fact both places, a boom. Trenton is now twenty miles from the railroad, but when this road is opened it will be only eight As soon as the convict force now on Quaker Bridge road completes that work they will be taken to the Core Creek road.. ' : Graded School pieate. The Committee to arrange for a May Day celebration for the children, met Wednesday evening and decided ' to have the Picnic on Tuesday, May 1st, on the Academy Green. The parents of the children, and the citizens generally will be invited to con tribute baskets of provisions,, and other articles of refreshment. - V'i " A cash contribution for necessary ex pense was started among the members of the committee and nearly fifty dol lars subscribed, which will no doubt be largely increased. -. The committee will hold another meeting at Prof. Johnson's office Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. on tint Trip to Trenton. )-' The Trent River Transportation Com pany 's steamer Trent, M. B. Smith. Commander, arrived s yesterday after noon from, Trenton with cotton and passengers. This being her first trip to Trenton, C. E. Foy, Esq., the President of the Company, ordered a salute to be fired upon her arrival n honor of the event, and also as a deserved compli ment to Gen. Robert Ransom, to whose engineering skill and perseverance is due the present improved condition of Trent river, thus enabling so large a steamer as the Trent (whose capacity is 250 bales cotton and 50 passengers) to reach Trenton. We note this improve ment in our waters with pleasure, and when the Quaker Bridge road is com' pleted this fall to New river in Onslow county the Trent river will be an im portant stream to the commerce of New Berne. . Pallcae To-Night. Patience will be given again to-night for the last time. The performance at the matinee yesterday was well attend' ed, and the company played the opera without omission., , To-nigbt the new uniforms of the Dragoons will be snen. , Being red they will add greatly to the scene. The sug gestion of "P. A." in the. Journal is concurred in, and Judge Gaston's patri otic song, "The Old North State," will be given. The audience will . be re quested to rise and join in the chorus. With new uniforms, new local hits, and the noble old Bong so dear to every New Bernean, the theatre should be filled to overflowing. 1 5 Go and see Patience, and, besides get ting your money's worth, encourage the youth of our city in amusements that are not only innocuous but really and manifestly beneficial. Tickets fifty cents (no charge for re served seats) to any part of the house. ; ' Gratifying Progress. ; ' Wilmington Star. The Southern manufacturers can find a large open market in the Northwest It costs no more to ship from North Carolina or Georgia to Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukee or St. Paul, than it does from Lowell and Boston.' ' In other words the Southern manufacturer can ship as cheaply to the West as the New England manufacturer can. That is important ' The Southern manufac turer buys his cotton for less, pays less for labor and can make goods at less cost; so he can sell cheaper, and this fact is opening the eyes very wide of the sharp Yankee. - There are signs in New England even that they are beginning to fear the South, and it is ''the opinion of shrewd observers that the transfer of New England cotton manufacture to the South is certain." ', For one we say let thera come. , The South will welcome all men who come to help build up and develop. It is just what the Star has been contending for during the last fifteen years to bring the mills to the cotton. Let the North ern capitalists and manufacturers come South and erect their fine mills all along our numerous streams. ' ' ' - The leading dry goods houses and representatives of trunk line railroads held recently a meeting in New York, and what was the burden of their talk? The Washington correspondent of the Richmond biate says the merchants complained "that they are unable to compete in St. Louis, Cincinnati, and other Western ciuos for Northwestern trade with the Southern manufacturers, who have entered those markets as ac tive competitors. The New York hous es, therefore, ask for a reclassification of domestics and a consequent reduction of freight rates. It is admitted that the future existence of the great cat ton in- duBtrr of New England is involved Tho tiouth is already shipping its goods 1 1 t'..e Li r"9 Ver'im cities and tLe mer- ci'-p's of t'io ;e cities are able to outsell 1' s I.ewYovk merchants tin t' e same r' 3 of poGiU. i ich la the statement, lse is i ;c-..t gratifying progress.

' -Hi't i,n s- Two polite, popular and goodlooking farmer-widowers of Pink Hill township, who are "just in their prime," are re ported to desire a change in their life long occupation, as each is now seeking the position as CAR conductor in their neighborhood; but, to prevent all 'mis takes, it is well enough to say right here neither Rete Jones nor Ceph Lawson is here referred to. i t 1?

Arriving at the depot when the circus train was leaving and taking a view of the mamoth concern and con cluding it was "too big a thing" for a single man to fight, he bravely bawled out, "Go along, go to h ir, go to Golds boroand phrenologize Rom' Johnson," ana nred a parting snot at the departing train. r Washington i.
