Mr. Simmons was agreeably surprised, having heard that the hands were un able to do much work on account of too much water , to find that they were do ing some of the best work that had been done on the road and hero -was no water to trouble them. ' We will here state for the benefit of our correspond - nt, that no one had informed Mr. Mc- Xiver that there was only eight miles of road to cut, but hud reported, which was true that there . was only about .eight miles of poeosin to cut through, on the main line. -. ,.;.. The Strikers. , Nothing further heard from the tele graph operators' strike up to tho time of 'going to press this morning.

'' JThe Journal claims to be law-abiding. We like to see the laws executed ' faith tfV.V and impartially. What' we mean is, that every man, no matter how wealthy nor what position- he occupies in society, should be held to account for a violation of the laws, either State-or Municipal, and justice dealt out with the same hand and in the same spirit that it would be given to those who are less favored with this world's goods and move amorg a less favored class.

Having obtained it he re marked that In the midst of the confu sion he had lost his wife and. didn't know where to look for her. "Never mind about the wife," said the lady, in all apparent seriousness, "you've got your basket! V-WU. Star.1 i V State Beard of Agriculture. The board met yesterday, the attend ance being quite large. ' The Commis sioner of Agriculture submitted an interesting report as to sthe progress being made in regard to the State's ex hibit at Boston next autumn.' He stated that all the collectors - are doing good work, and that they' are securing val uable and handsome specimens of our woods; minerals and crude products of all kinds, , These are being gathered in all sectiois of the State. The co-opera tion of the people is at once hearty and general. The outlook is favorable for a magnificent display, even finer than was hoped for. The exhibit will be thoroughly illustrative of the State's resources. This report of the commis si iner was heard with special interest Mr. a. G. Worth submitted a : report giving full details as to the operations the past season at the fish hatcheries of shad and rock at Avoca and Weldon, Dr. Dabney, being detained in Charlotte by sickness, did not make a report News and Observer tQtht ' , ' , A Nuisance. . !, ii'T 7 H & ': : When the train comes into this city across tne Trent river bridge, it is generally boarded by a lot of negro boys, and on yesterday when the Smith field excursion passed,- the platforms were filled with them until the train arrived at the depot, when they com pletely blockaded the platform. The train moved up to the water-tank, when your reporter had the opportunity of counting forty-one of - these worthless shavers standing around the cars, who were in the way, defiant,, saucy, impu dent, blasphemous and Obscene in their language, not even respecting the ladies who were in the cars; and when the train moved off they indulged in throw ing watermelon rinds Into the cars, and some of them even threw rocks and bricks into the doors and windows re gardless of the presence of the ladies and children, and not even a railroad official nor a civil officer to say No a single time. . ,' '.' ! We think it high time that this nuis ance should be stopped by the proper authority, whoever it may be. ' And we also think that if the vagrant act was enforced in this city by the authorities, it would be better for the city, the citi zens, and more especially would it be a great blessing for the great number of vagrant idlers or loafers who now infest our city and ought to be at work for their daily' broad, and to be raised up to be made more honest and, industrious laborers.'.' i -." v-j -.- J i - J' i - ' ' Schedule r'B Returns. .' , Notwithstanding the poor prices ob tained for truck and the grumbling of dull times- which inevitably follows because there is an excuse for it we find schedule "B" returns oyer $40,000 more ' than the returns for the six months ending June 30th, 1883, which amounted, in round numbers, to $410, 000. This year they will reach over $450,000. The increase of this year over last is greater than the increase of '83 over '81. We give below the re turns of some of the largest dealers: ; ,E. : H.

We left on Tues day, July 10th, on the schooner Theresa for Ocraooke, from there we crossed Ocracoke Inlet for Portsmouth. Then we had a delightful stay of five days. We went to Shell Island, about two miles in the sound, to get bird eggs, found several eggs and two young sea gulls, and killed a great many birds of different kinds. We went fishing; our luck was not good, but we caught a great many clams near Whalebone In let. Went in surf bathing. We came back via. Beaufort, through Core Sound and the Straits. The 6ail was delightful. Mr. Charles Eeeler keeps a good boarding house, and does all in his power to make your stay pleasant.' We would advise those who want to keep cool to go to Portsmouth. Tom and Jerry. New Berne, July 18, 1883. - , ' Letter -from Aslirville. Swannanoa Hotel, ' Asheville, July 18 Asheville ia full of visitors, and the Swannanoa overflowed yesterday, turn ing off several parties who had to seek rooms at the private boarding houses, which here are as numerous as the houses. There if said to be only two families in the place who do not, on any terms whatever, take boarders during the summer. Some are filled up with friends, others only let rooms for the season, but, as a general rule, transients find no difficulty in being - accommo dated, V;-;' , '' ' :. There is a meeting here at present of the Underwriters of the Fire Insurance Companies of the Southern and South eastern States,' with some delegates from' the Western ones. Most of the visitors are from other States, but I see enough natives to make me feel quite at home, indeed felt as if I had seen a little bit of home itself when I unex pectedlymet Mr. Henderson, our. Ex press Agent, on the street yesterday. involuntarily looked round for Mr. Ben. Bryan, but suppose New Berne could not do without them both at one time This morning I met Rev. Dr. Chapman who, with Mrs. Chapman, arrived yes terday and rest here a few days bofore taking ' flight for the Warm Springs. where, the Doctor told me, he should stay till Mrs. Chapman was either great ly benefitted or convinced she would not be so by the bath; she is troubled with gout in her feet and will doubtless ba relieved by a few weeks of "Aunt Patsey's'.V services. I saw young Mr, Ransom, son of Gen. . Random, when I was over there the other day, he is still on crutches but told me he was improv ing. The Springs seemed to have more invalids than well people, and I was glad to get ' back to the Swannanoa, where all is life and animation, the passages and parlors filled with young ladies and a dance every night in the ball room which lays that at Morehead City in the shade, being the larger t in the State. Col. and Mrs. Heck, of Raleigh,,1 who were at the Springs when I left there spent yesterday with us en route to the White Sulphur Springs. I have been sorely, tempted to join a party and, go to the Black Mountain and think should have done so but for Doctor Kane;' I asked him why I heard of so many more persons suffering with chills here in Asheville than in New Berne and he replied it was - owing to impru dence, going on these excursions and camping out, or exposing one's self to the night air with the system saturated with malaria. Ashevillians ' are very sensitive on the subject of chills, and say they never originate here, but think that must be a mistake. Mrs, Senator Vance has been in bed several days suffering with neuralgia and chills contracted on the Black Mountain, or. as they say here, contracted in Wash ington and developed on the Black Mountain. So as I do not wish to ex hibit New Berne malaria, I have taken warning .from Mrs. Vance's sad expe riehce and limit my excursions to after noon drives, which - are perfectly de lightful around this place. The fare here is excellent with abundance of good milk and. butter milk, and we have plenty of apples, peaches and watermelons. I find many of my last summer's acquaintances here from New Orleans, Macbn, Atlanta and Savannah, and, take it all in all, believe that most, of the gayety of the season will be found just here. - ., : .;;;, M.B.C t 1 Swanabbro Items. Plenty of deer,,' Dan Weeks killed two large bucks in one day this week. Schooner Katie Edwards,, Bell, cap tain, cleared for Wilmington this week loaded with turpentine. , , -:t - I notice in copying the tax list for bur township, about three-fourths of the people had no hogs to give in and very few cattle. ' ;- - ' 11 A picnic and grand festival came off at Tabernacle church last Saturday un der the direction of Mr. E. M. Koonce, school teacher, whose school closed and tHe exhibition and examination by the said school was highly commended by those wBo witnessed them. v. - A revival of religion took place at Queen creek church just ended to-day, About twenty persons professed re ligion. The meetings were conducted by Revs. C M. Smith, F. B. McCall'and Dixon who will commence a protract ed 'meeting here next Thursday, the 26th. . : - - .-. juiseases among tne horses are more fatal. E, M. Farnell lost a fine mule a day or so ago; he has lost four good horses and mules inside of twelve months. Capt. B. Smith lost a fine mare this week, one he had not long paid $160 for. The, disease is not, known; something like unto the staggers. We have had a heavy rain here and a great deal of lightning and thunder, ana some oi tne nottest weatner im aginable. The rains ' do our crops good, as the ground was somewhat too dry, and now crops are looking very well. ' Cotton is growing fast and 1 1 it it . ininK mere win do as, much or more made to the acre in this countv than was made last year. George Littleton sold $13.50 worth of fish here in; one day this week, and if we had a boat to transport them to market, could get twice as much for them as we get here,: and I think we will have a boat soon, as I hear of two parties who are becoming interested One a Mr. C. Styron of Washington, N C, and the other Maj. W. A. Hearne of Craven county. Come ' on Major, or Captain Styron either; first come first served, but whoever does come please don't forget that the New River folks want a boat just as bad as we do. One boat will do for both here and there at first, so we think, We think an out side side-wheel would do best, though a stern-wheel propeller will do also, After the boat, comes the hotel, for we are going to have both if possible, and that pretty soon. . , :; STATE NEWS ' ! : Uleaned from our Exchanges. ! Farmer and Mechan ic: It is stated by, the Daily Observer that at the stockholders meeting in Salisbury last week,! the Directors of the N. C. Railroad, ... (controlled by the Richmond and Danville) were au thorized ,to make overtures for purchase, or virtual consolidation of the New Berne Railroad with the N 0. Railroad. The first article we ever wrote for the press Y1S years ago) was in advocacy of this consolidation, and some of the most prominent among those who now favor it as a last resort, to save the old "Mullet from bankruptcy, were then greatly enraged, at us. chars ing that we , wanted to "ruin New Berne" and all that sort of thins, Time Mings many changes. -j l i ;. Elizabeth City Economist: u We are pleased to hear that, some of our friends ittiRosedale will raise carp another season. It' is a move in the , right direction, i Our old friend Deake has a carp pond near Asheville that is very, profitable. - Mosquitoes are finding their way into the: mountain towns of North Carolina. They get into: the train in the lowlands and go up to the mountains on free passes. They are thick in Asheville and are just making their appearance in Waynes ville. . The mountaineers thin k they sing very pretty but they bite bad. - The . crops are now growing finely, and tanners have no right to grumble except about labor, and the way to remedy that is to raise crops that do not require so much labor; Small ' grain, peas, stock, hogs' cattle, mules, sheep, goats, geese, chickens, &c. We understand that a few billy-goats in a flock of sheep are a protection against dogs. Charlotte, Journal Observer: A fast train? consfstingof five cars, all loaded with watermelons, passed through the city Wednesday morn- ing, at 10 o'clock, from Charleston, en route to New York. Denutv Sheriff Griffith yesterday morning arrested a colored man named Jolm Pratt, who is wanted ia Lanrinbarg tor voting once too often down there some time ago. Pratt has been employed as. a servant at the Cen tral Hotel bar, where he was arrest ed yesterday. , ' He at once ' gave bond and in the atlet noon delivered himself to an officer who carried him to Lanrinburg for trial before a justice. Pratt was in Lanrinburg at the time of the late mayor's elec tion held there, and his undue zeal in behalf of one of the candidates, caused him to do some crooked vot ing, for which he is now called to account. President Arthur yes terday designated, : among other civilians, for the examination for appointment to second lieutenancies m the United States Army, Mr. Z, B. Vance, son of Senator Vance, of this city. Young Zeb. has served for a number of years in the navy, and now it is proposed to put him on ary land service. Together with bis many friends in this city we indulge the hope that he will so through his examination as "slick as a whistle," and, from our knowl edge of his talents and capabilities, we nave no room to noubt but that he will do just that very thing.
