It appears that the Commodore was out on a crow hunt, and in walking across the field he caught sight of one flying over." Keeping bis eye steadily on the crow he unconsciously walked to the edge of a large ditch and, sud denly becoming aware of his situation, was so frightened that he tumbled in, wedgipg himself fast in the ditch. Being a good sized manV the ditch was completely filled, so hands had to be employed to dig him outtand such was the task that the hands raised their prices six cents per square yard. H.:- r:v tone of the Seven Sleepers. " A gentleman of Bell's Ferry arrived on Monday night and took lodging with Mr. E. H.

Journal: While I acknowledge it the duty of all citizens to do what they can at fires or in any calamity, yet there are persons who deserve notice when they are thus engaged: for this reason! wish to publicly mention the zeal and energy of the Rev. W. H. Call at the cotton yard on yesterday morn ing. . But for his' efforts in the early stage of the fire, the shower of sparks must have set the bales of cotton ablaze and the extent of the loss in that event is beyond calculation, j f J T I say but for his efforts; because he and two others were battling immense odds for several minutes and the loss of the service of either one would have been fatal to the defence. I mention him especially because of his sacred calling and complete disinterestedness; but then I believe he surrendered at Appomatox, and those men will gener ally be found at the post of duty wher ever it may be, whether they wear the overall of the laborer or the cloth of the clergyman. C. Xinston, Items. The pugnacity of our town is crop ping out boldly and grandly under our new mayor. , There were three fights last Saturday, with threatenings of dy namite for the mayor. His crown is as dangerous as that of the Czar of Russia. "Old Bart" is under the weather with rheumatism. He has recently made his will, expressing a wish to be cremated after death. If Bob Ingersoll makes a mistake, "Bart's" testamentary wishes stand a good chance of being fully car ried out. ' - Wm. Brown, of Chinquepin. Jones county, is the jumbo eater of the 19th century. It is said he recently consumed 3 rabbits, 26 pounds of cracklins and 8 pecks of sweet potatoes without halting, and was sick when he commenced, but got better after his repast.

She has been at- this about four weeks one eye is gone, though her egg-producing power is as good as ever. This turkey is the property of Ed. Hum phrey, and, it is said, "goes to see" Dr. Billy Haskins like white people and niggers, to learn from prophecy and cards how to raise turkeys. j A printed circular was in circulation here last Saturday, purporting to be the last letter of our Saviour to man. Many carry it about them, regarding it as of magical power, affording protection against famine, lightning and storms. It promises to all who believe it and keep it about them safety against such dangers. After reading it the funny man of our hardware store wanted a copy for a lightning rod, while a solid, anti-stock law fanner of the Neck town ship pocketed a copy to keep off the "d hurricanes." The Pink Hill rifle, which one of our Tuckahoe merchants obtained for an $8 barrel of flour, deals death to cut worms as well as to bed bugs. The owner of this rifle and the proprietor of a "Wise Fork", farm took it to the farm last week, and, besides rJing all the cut worms of the place, practiced, unsuc oessfully however, on the bat and boots of the "Fork"' land owner. This rifle promises to equal tn sanctity the pistol once immortalized in a churchyard epi taph: ; ' wft t '' ' in memory ot ; -: - t v V hl John Smith, who met v ' ' Wierlent death near this spot 18 hunded and 40 too. , He was shot by his own pistell; .
