One of the opponents of the Graded School employed a very effective weap on to have it defeated, and we think it is one that ought to work both ways He went around and increased his rents, tolling his tenants that he did it on ac count of having to pay taxesi for the , Graded School, which would amount to about one-tenth of the increase. His property had rapidly increased in valu ation on account of the Graded School but still he voted "against schools." The tax assessors should stick a pin th ore.

Koonce and Ben Koonca from the upper portion of Jones county arrived in the city on the fresh track of fine ox which had been stolen on the night before from Col, O. C. Moses. , They found the ox in possession of one Moses Becton, col., who early t in the morning had been trying to sell him to Mr. B. Swert who demanded proof of ownership, and before Moses could give it he was picked up. The Mayor had in the mean time received a telegram from Col. Moses to be on the look out forJiis ox, and His Honor , had so in structed the city marshal. As soon , as Moses saw these gentlemen from Jones he took to his heals but was picked upfwe are also glad to know that a few in a distance of 400 yards. He was ta ken before the Mayor for a preliminary hearing where he pleaded not guilty. He admitted however that he brought the ox in and offered him for sale, but denied that he knew it was Col. Moses' ox until daybreak that morning. He was held to bail in the sum of two hundred dollars for his appearance at the next term of Superior court of this county in default of which he was sent to jail. memorial Day, The Memorial services will begin on the Actfdemy Green on Thursday even ing at4i o'clock.

There is not a cent of money in it. We exposed these rascals last winter for the benefit of our editorial brethren but some of them refused to surrender their faith in Washburn & Co. Indeed the New Berne Journal took the other side of the question and Asserted that. so far as its business transactions, were concerned, Washburn & Co. were all right. We didn't dispute this proposi tion but thought it strange that the Salycilica ad was allowed to drop into utter oblivion, a few weeks after, with out one farewell shot from the batteries of the Journal as Washburn & Co. dis appeared from the advertising columns of that paper. A few of our State ex changes continue to run the advertise ment but for this they may perhaps be pardoned as times are dull and the ad vertisintr business slack and there must be something to fill up with. Wilming ton Eevievo. j . .... . We confess we were taken in, and now regret we did not take our neigh bor's advice. Our first bill was paid promptly; we suppose this was intended as a bait, but aS soon as the second be came due and was not paid, not needing Salycili'"' 1 1 T" r v will , we immediate ly droii-.

'' It has been argued onour streets that in order to carry the Graded School bill it was necessary to have a majority of the registered votes in favor of it, but upon a careful examination of the act we find that such is not the case.' Sec d provides, "In case a majority of the qualified voters' at such election shall vote "for schools", an . assessment shall "be levied, ' etc. As a yoter who failed to vote was not a qualified voter at such election, then it only requires a majority of those who . did vote. !i Two hundred and ninty-six votes were cast against it and we are gratified to knew that not exceeding thirty or forty white men can be counted in this number, and colored men voted for schools. Swansboro Items. Another spell of very bad weather; more rain fell here on the 1st and 2d days of May than at any time this year; much damage to ' the cotton planters, and very cold for the time of the year. The pea and potato crops look well con sidering the cold and rain. The 1st day of May Banks party came off on Tuesday as per programme, and considering , the not very favorable weather, all enjoyed themselves finely. Capt. Dennis gave his services with his fine schooner Ray and carried a large number of old people as well as scores of young ones free of charge. Mrs. A. F. ' Farnell, Sr., has sold 184 dozen eggs since" last November, eat almost as many at home, now has about 20 dozen on hand, besides, has in tne last week set hens with 15 eggs each.- About one half of the eggs eaten were bought, all the rest were gathered from the yard farm of Mrs. Farnell. Major Russell, Capt. Loughlin and Dave Ward all have good potato patch es. The latter has the largest potatoes have seen; saw some on the 28th of April as large as a goose egg. Lough lin-will ship some peas this week; by the way Loughlin has been appointed post master at Swansboro in place of J. A. Pittman,' who has been post master at this place for several years I understand Mr. D. S. Aman, of Palo Alto, has' tho finest crop, taking alto gether, in the county; don't doubt it, for he is one of the best farmers we have, and he has some good land to farm on, too, but Dave is getting so big and fat, eating so much milk and butter from those fat cows, that I expect he is getting rather lazy to work much and I don't blame him. Dave has got some of the best breed of cattle and hogs, to be found in the country anywhere; his nephew, N. S. Shepherd, is merchandis ing, has a good stock of goods on the place and does a splendid Good for Nat. ' A grand Sunday school : picnic and celebration came off at Queen's Creek church on Saturday, the 5th inst in hon or of the Queen's Creek school class with invitations to all the Sunday Schools around to join in the celebration and such a time has not been seen at Queen Greek Church for a season, il Addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Smith and Dr, C. Thompson of the Legislature. . Those who did not hear and see this, missed a treat worth seeing, having, of course eating tob-we never, leave out eating when we can help it though I am not much of an eater, myself, I like to see it going on. I some times like oysters and clams, but don't like them as well as Dr. Barker does. : I recollect once in New Berne the Doctor played off on me about eating - Iff plates of the fruit at onetime, when it was the Doctor, him self, that did the eating and I got the credit of it from the Doctor and Dr. C. J. Mattocks, who were there at the time Now the Doctor Is playing "Nology on the pates of some of the people in and around Washington City. Mr. John A. Coston and wife, two old and respected citizens of our commu nity, are going on a visit to Wilmington for a few months, to see their son-in law, B. G. Willis, jr. Mr. Costen is 74 years old, and is as lively as any man of his age. Though having a good home he is not able to work now, so rented out his farm, and is going to engage in selling books. We wish him success for he is a good man, not having an en emy in the county. Another son-inJaw who is a mechanic, has just completed all the work at Mr. Farnell 's; also moved a house, built a chimney, under pinned same, and left for Mr. George Freshwater 's, where he will complete a house for that gentleman, lately en closed by W. H. Hill of Swansboro. Mr. Hill was taken sick and could not finish the job. Henry Willis wants to hire two good workmen, as he intends to carry on work in his line all the year. Another son-in-law of Mr. Costen, A. L. Willis, has a ae little schooner (JSfay- ..." ccr) built by himself "on the sharpie ,'ylo, which he tuub himself up and ..T.iwa New riyer from its moulli, boat- ing shells, oysters, lumber, etc., making about $1,200 per year. He usually makes two trips per week. In one of these trips his son, Glenny, shot and killed a large alligator with a small gun with Staall shot, something unusual for a boy Only 9 years old. - The 'gator was 9 feet long. The 'gators are scarce this season so far, but if nothing hap pens in a week or so your humble ser vant will show you' some large teeth, and some large backbones both of alli gators and snakes. ' '"! ; i Seven Springs Items. Sea well's Tannery is now in full operation and the woods now resound with the echo of the axes of the bark cutters. ' " Mr. Wiley Rouse, one of, the oldest and most respectable citizens of Trent township, Lenoir county, died last Sunday. : ; . Next week is Superior court in our county and the vile and the guilty quake in their boats and evil doers look as if they smelt brimstone., '. A fine tabby house cat was seen a few days since floating down the river on a raft. Grimalkin was rescued at Carter's landing, six miles below this place. A gay party of - excursionists from Kinston and elsewhere came up on the steamer Kinston ' yesterday, and our streets were filled with throngs of young ladies, gentlemen, children, etc. s n u I uavis, nas Our townsman, Dr. I. been in ill health for some time and is spending a few days at Mt. Olive with his daughter, Mrs. Hawkins. We are glad to hear the Doctor is improving. The very rare occurrence of a whisky seller,, armed with a petition to pro hibit the sale of liquor in our town, was witnessed one day this week. A peti tion in opposition was also being circu lated, but the Dry beat the Wet two to one. Better times are coming, The wife Of John Kornegay, colored, was shockingly burned to death near here one day last week. She had laid down before the fire and while asleep her clothing took fire. Wnen found by the neighbors she was dead in the yard with her clothing burned off and the cabin on fire., : ? " TT 1.- e JV- A grand picnic at Mr. H. Bryan's store has passed and all seemed to enjoy it pretty well, especially the little ones. Quite a large crowd of younar ladies enjoyed an excursion on our creek and river en Tuesday, the first day of May, under the care of Capt. C. T. Cherry at this place. - Mr. George Vintis, our accomplished postmaster at Calico, in Pitt county, is trying to get a semi-weekly mail from Vanceboro to Greenville. . Our mail is improving on that route, v A large crowd came down from Pitt on the steamer L. B. Cutler. We learn from Cicero Griffin there was 150 per sons. .They met at Cow Pen landing and everything passed off lovely. Fid dling and dancing was the order of the day. . COMMEKCIAL. NEW BERNE MARKET.
