" " .The price of Irish potatoes is holding up pretty well and the prospect pretty good for a fair price if our farmers will wait until their potatoes attain good size before shipping, There has been general complaint of the coor anal it v of peas shipped, and it is generally al leged that this was the cause of the de cline iu prie. " Jf C poor quality of potatoes is sent forward to open the market they may share the same fate of peas. , ',-,. 4 Receiver Appointed, i. ; : , ' In tho supplementary proceedinss in stituted in the probate court of this county on Thursday, against the Mid land N. C. Railway Company, by the employees of said company- and others. amotion was - made for a receiver to takejeharge of the property -belonging to the company. The motion was con tinued until Friday at 11 o'clock a. m., when, it was granted and Mai i John Gatlin wes appointed receiver and re quired to enter into a bond of $64,000, the par value of the bonds on deposit in the National Bank belonging to Tthe Midland Company, i : RiTcrdole to Polloksvlllo. On Wednesday morning, May 1G, by crack of day, there was a mighty stir among folks young and old about Riverdale. '( The peaceable "Generals" Hardison and , Williams were soon marshalling their Sunday School army for a glorious picnic; and the accomrao dati g steamer Trent with her affable and gentlemanly .Capt', Smith,'was at the wharf whistling them up for the jaunt. . Soon'lhey sailed up to the dock in New Berne, where pur delightful Cornet Band and a happy company of children, and . witching maidens and anxious beaux, with some settled mar riedfolk (who. looked .. wise) and, a sprinkling of ;'dangerous widows em barked and'we all steamed off with gay music for Pollocksville. That music; it seemed td get. into people's feet! ils that its right place ? One could see tfie feet patting away, as if they wanted to whirl about in a reel, or some other zig-zag manoeuver," if the" big "Gen erals" and the preachers would just "clear the kitchen..'' .; But they looked as smiling tie anybody," and it may be shook their, feet, too,, but managed to be happy without "hugging" I ' . The Trent is a beautiful stream.- It is narrow, but has a good depth of beauti fully clear water and its banks are here prettily wooded and there fringed with well tilled fields, or reveal grand quar ries of shall rock and inexhaustible beds of marl. Why is not this shell rock worked and used more in our city? Our way was wondrously winding; for seldom does any river bend back upon itself more than the Trent; at times it seemed but a step across the dividing peninsula in the sudden bends. Thir teen miles by land measures the dis tance from New Berne to Pollocksville; but by water twenty-two must be tra versed; and the difference is far greater between land and water travel towards Trenton; for the turns are so short and- numerous that two 'pilots are required St the Awheel" S t ,, U .? A, k But all ' went as pleasantly as a mar riage bell; and it may be the anxiety of some of the young men terminated on this trip and the .. "parson" will be in demand. Then the inimitable "Potter" was along with his wonderful fixtures. What an ingenious and polite youth he is f Yet he was "cool, very cool" to everybody. 4 Strange I and the gas from his sparkling fountain evidently got into; his head, for the top of his head flew off and floated' down the river I But he did pot mind it. , Well, Arthur, it is bad, nevertheless, for a man Id lose his head, and your sweetheart will tell you so. Everybody was clapping hands on their individual ("noddles" to save their reasons, Well, it will be a good thing for all picnicers to take' along Potter -and his polite clerks with all their "gimcracks." . : I ' So we get to the Seminary, in sight of Polloksyille. There the bank was! fill ed with children, and hospitable citi zens to welcome us, and , sundry bug gies and wagons to carry any halt; and lame to "the , pic-nic j grounds near at hand. The Seminary church was soon filled, and ; after singing "Precious Name," and a prayer, Rev. Dr. Burk head of New Berne, gave a capital ad dress on the "Right Method of Conduct ing a Sunday School."' It waked some of the. hearers up considerably, but failed to charm some infants. Let him publish it for general good. He was followed by Rey. L. C. Vass, who gave a "Black board" talk to the children. ,We all then adjourned to the feast under the trees, and on the green grass. This was en- j'- 1 r- -.tly.'f Several hundred ; peo- l ! o vt, , o present; many, more- than tfie church could hold, f -ii,-' i .Jo to rolLl.svillo ; 1 tok r ) Lu i t'-.cro. This .villi'n'J' h-'-'i im - " -. Trr. John 1'" fee's beautiful 1 residence and well tilled farm, on the edge of the village, at tracted, admiration.' Then cornea the new Baptist church, and the buildings freshly painted. So we reach the! ex tensive wharf of the "Trent Transpor tation company," whose improvements are courteously shown te us by Mr. C. E. Foy, the President. By the, way the "Foys" are a great clan in Jones coun ty; spry widowers and blooming wid owst solid family men, and the rising generation, they are worthy yeomanry, and hospitable friends.. May thore be many more such citizens. But we must hasten homewards. Gathering up our crowd, who have de molished stores of good things and fair ly eaten up our Potter no wonder Jie keeps lean, giying other folks his good dies, we wend our way safely to our dock, and say farewell to our successful "Generals". Hardison and Williams, and genial Capt. Smith, who carry the rest of their family to Riverdale, all vote "aye" on the question, did we not have a pleasant day, under bright skies and through Divine blessing ? " L. C, Vass. 4, ,, STATE NEWS Gleaned from our Exchanges. Roanoke News: On Wednesday of last week a colored man by the name of Elam Smith, who had been liying here about a year, fell dead in his house. He had a chill about a week before that which left his arm useless and from which he had not entirely recovered when his death suddenly occurred as stated. It is supposed he had some af fection of the heart.-: Fish Commis sioner Worth has sent some of his men here to hatch rock to be placed in the river. The apparatus is simple. One end of an iron pipe is placed in the canal so that the fall will fill it, and the other portion is bent so as to make three sides of a square. At intervals are rocks to which are attached rubber tubes, which take the water from the iron pipe into glass jars, where the spawn is put. The constant flow Of the, water keeps the eggs agitated all the time and supplies fresh water continually, These eggs hatch in a short time. The fry cannot swim until four days and are kept until that time, when they are put in the river. . A jar will hold a quart of spawn, and a quart will hatch from twenty- eight to thirty thousand fry. Wilmington Star: Mrs. James Knight, of this city, died very suddenly at the residence of her husband, in this city, Wednesday morning, about 11 o'clock. : Some very fine cattle were brought down from Pender on the steamer John Dawson yesterday. We learn that they sold. for six cents per pound on the hoof. Samuel Edens, an old colored man, employed at the steam saw mill of Messrs. J. H. Chad bourn & Co., was ar rested yesterday morning, charged with shooting Wm. Henry Freeman, a col ored youth, aged about 18 years, also an employee in the'mill, and inflicting se rious damae-e. A colored woman, who gave her name as Bertha Hall, and who is said to live somewhere in the neighborhood of Eleventh and Princess streets, was arrested and taken to the station house, yesterday morning, for going through the streets and making noisy demonstrations,, thereby causing much annoyance. Sue is the same wo man spoken of in the Star Of the 4th inst.v who was going' about the streets proclaiming that she had a commission from heaven to collect 25 cents from each' person she met, with which to build a' house 'for the Lord's prophets. She seems to be rapidly degenerating into a violent and dangerous maniac, and1 it is hoped that she will be taken care of. c" .'.:.-: v.: ' ,J':- '1 ?, Notesof Travel; J Raleigh News and Observer. ' i . .,' I make the following assertions with out fear of contradiction: -?" : - 1. North Carolina was never so pros? perouB materially as at the present time. 2. The State was never before so pros perous in educational matters. .. 8. The State was never before so pros perous in her religious institutions. ;,'.a Extreme poverty and extreme wealth: are both alike conditions of temptation. Our people were never perhaps so much tempted by wealth as by the want of it. The last eighteen years have greatly tried our brave people. The larder was often too low and the bank account too short to induce the greatest comfort of mind. But things have changed. The ordeal of personal and State poverty has been borne with wonderful forti tude. ; We have not yet passed on! to sufficient affluence to excite fear on that scale. I propose to note, however, a variety of little things all over the State going to prove the truth of my as sertion. ';'"'' . . - ) I have noticed at Goldsboro, Newbern, Greenville, Edenton and at many other Ti.icn3 a wonderful revolution in' the one . thing of personal comfort. .The dwellings are in better shape and ar ranged for great comfort. ' Stoves and coal are .used' where wet pine was once thought i good enough; - Top carriages are used more now in place of, open buggies., j , ' j The steamboat on the, Neuse, 1 the Trent, the Tar, the Roanoke; Cape Fear and other classic streams is now a thing of beauty j and comparative comfort, Regular lines in close communications with the railrpads make daily connec tions, so that a traveler can reach even Trenton or Jamesville or Plymouth with a degree of certainty which is posi tively refreshina. . !.!; iXu' , t, . v , .v i:. RICE MU.y? .'L''7: ; I noticed at Goldsboro one of these mills in actiye operation. At Newbern I found another. At Washington there is still another, doing beautiful work and capable of hulling and polishing several hundred bushels of rice daily. I was . informed there that Beaufort county produced last year at least one hundred thousand bushels of rice. This is almost a new industry . in eastern Carolina. Rice is easily grown on cer tain soils, and is wonderfully produc tive, as much as sixty bushels per acre being often realized. ,, At Wilmington I found another new rice mill, and pass ing up the Cape Fear I see the old time rice fields systematically watered and cultivated. There is money in all this for those engaged in the work. . COTTON SEED OIL. j,',. It is strange to ns that so valuable an article should have been so long in com ing to the front.; The seeds are. abund ant. They are ' easily reduced, f The oil, the meal and even the hulls can all be used to advantage, beside one or two dollars worth of lint is taken off of every ton of seed before- grinding. These manufactories are found at Fay- etteville, , Goldsboro, Newbern and Elizabeth City, , The seed are bought at prioes from $9 to $12 per ton,' and . the products are sold at from $20 to $24 for each ton manufactured; : Nbw,! - when you have an article that can be doub led in value so easily, itwotild be worse than folly not to manufacture. ; Capital is seeking put all this wealth and much more, in ai variety of . ways, which I propose to notice her eaf ter.
