I must say that "Justice" can get as many' errors into as small space as Injustice could, and must surely have been,, in a darker corner than I. Had ho manifested as . much common sense as zeal,,, he would have , known that 'there was no reflection oii the Superintendent, .but strangers who do not know the Superintendent (as I do) to be a high-toned, earnest gentleman, might infer from, "Justice's" misplaced or misguided zeal in his defence, that he might be charged with something, and hence, "Justice's" zeal to put us off the track; in so doing he doos the Super intendent a great and manifest wrong, When I wrote the article complimenting Mr. Joyner's address but one other ad dress had beon delivered as I afterward learned. I am not deserving of censure becauso people did riot think it merited compliments.' " Justice" savs that the average attendance , was : 25, ' but the Superintendent says that it was only 15 5-11 and that the largest number pres ent on (miii day was 21. "Justice s" estimation of the number of visitors present was about as enormous as his statement in regard to the number of teachers. If the story of George Wash ington's hatchet ever made any impres sion on ,V Justice's'? mind I fear: it ,was erased ere he wrote- his defence of tho Institute, and the Superintendent against whom no charge had been made. I now turn i'Justioe" over to the Sunday School teachers of tho town, hoping they may prove beneficial to them. '1 T Pamlico Items.

The death of Dr. Kennedy, however, will be sadly felt; he had promised to do the handsome thing by us. i According to tliofttterpn'se, our coun ty commissioners have offended some body by jailing the paupers.
