Several of our worthy firemen ask a suspension of public opinion upon the subject of black eyes and skinned noses The darkness at the time of the alarm " Sunday Jnight was the cause, and not what might be supposed. ' Rev. Dr. Burkhead left for Statesville yesterday morning to be present at the ' opening of the North Carolina Methodist ; Conference which convenes to-morrow, The Doctor has labored two years for the church in this city to the entire ' 'Satisfaction of his own congregation and very acceptably to the people generally, The Quarterly Conference of the church ' . unanimously passed a resolution some' time since requesting his return, and we have no doubt but such is the desire of his entire congregation. . The Orphan A.ylum. J This is Thanksgiving week. The jv orphans at the Oxford Asylum should not be forgotten. We are pleased to note that the Collection at Neuse Street -Methodist Church on Sunday for this , noble institution footed up the nice 1 little sum of thirty dollars.. This ; amount was forwarded ou yesterday, ' incendiary Fire. r v On Sunday night between the hours ' of 11 , and 12 the porch of Mr. W. H Pearce's dwelling was set on fire by some villian who is on the highway to the penitentiary or the gallows. The floor of the porch had been thoroughly saturated with kerosene oil and rosin before the torch was applied. Fortun ' ately Mr. T. A. Green, who lives just across the street, was awake, saw the blaze, ran across and aroused the family before the fire had made any consider able headway. The prompt response to the alarm by the fire department saved the building, though it is damaged to some extent ! Meeting" of Pender monument Com , mlttee.

'Honor's charge was given in a clear, concise manner. The following cases -' were disposed of during the day: 1 State vs. Sam Hargett, A. and B. Nol State vs. Thomas Moore and Henry .Carter; trespass.- Dismissed- i'- State vs. Samuel Doye; trespass. Re' 1 manded to W. G. Brinson, J. P.

R iurv empanelled, verdict, guilty, State vs. Bright Smith; carrying con: scaled weapons. Not pros wan leave, Pamlico Court. The Superior Court of Pamlico county closed its fall term on Saturday night near midnight. Two murder cases were tried which consumed the entire week after Tuesday. The first was that of George Washington for the -murder of Augustus Rohr, in this city. He was ably defended by Messrs. L. J. Moore and "W. . , Clarke, of this city, and B. Mayhew, of Bayboro, while the State was represented by F. M. Simmons and Clement Manly, of this city, and W.'T. Caho, of Stonewall. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and the prisoner was sentenced to ba hanged on the 28th of December. His council made a motion for a new trial. Motion overruled. Ap pealed to the Supreme Court. The ap peal vacates the sentence, so if a new trial is not granted by the Supreme Court George Washington will be re sentenced at the next term of the court. The next case was that of Ben. Gilliam and Nancy Carter for the murder of Henry Carter, husband of Nancy. Nancy submitted as an accessory before the fact and was sentenced to the peni tentiary for twenty years. Uilliam was put upon trial and was represented by w. JJJ. Ulare. or tbis city, and is. Jj. Mayhew, of Bayboro, , F. M. Simmons, or tms city, prosecuted for the State The evidence in this case, we learn was entirely circumstantial, one of the strongest being that of a pipe stem. The prosecuting attorney, however, knit the circumstances together so strongly, hav ing to sift them from the testimony of about twenty witnesses, that there was no loop hole for escape. The jury was composed of eleven colored men and one white man and remained out only a short time before returning a verdict of .guilty. He was sentenced to be hanged on the 27th of January next, On Sunday morning after the trial Gil liam and Nancy Carter both made a full confession of the crime. Stonewall Items. Mr. T. B. Hyman, of the Goldsboro rice mills, is with us looking after rice and cotton seed. I have just learned that Ben j. Gilliam has confessed to the murder of Carter, and gives a statement how he did it.. The town of Stonewall had another addition to its census a few days since and a voter it will be in 21 years from now. Mr. F. F. Cherry is the one who has the botheration of his bring up. The Journal was represented by Mr. 0. C. Taylor, the Washington Gazette by Mr. J. H. Burgess, and the Goldsboro Messenger by B. w. Cobb. There is one thing sure that friend Cobb, if he did not get the coon, he surely got the 'pos sum and went on, but he had to pay Mr. Ipock three dollars for him. The varmint is perfectly white with small pink eyes. I suppose he could be writ ten down as an Albino. On Friday, Ben j. Gillam and Nancy Carter were arraigned for the murder of Henry Carter, the jury empanelled eleven colored and one white. The prosecution was conducted by Mr. Sim mons assisted by W. T. Caho and E. G Wise. The defence by Messrs. B. F Mayhew, W. E. Clarke and L. J. Moore Each side fully and truly did their best, but the evidence was so conclusive that a verdict of guilty was soon had and the sentence of the court is that the woman (her guilt was manslaughter) goes to the penitentiary for twenty years and beni Gilliam be hanged on the 27th day of January next, The Superior court for this county convened on Monday, the 19th inst., and it was the most interesting court wo have ever had. I am not one of the kind who thank the publio officers for doing their duty, but if they fail to do it, am one to censure them for denlic tion, but when one does more than his duty for the benefit of the county think that every tax payer should be thankful and such is the case of Judge Avery in our court., He surely did more than his duty and pay would justify, for he worked both night and day and did it not to the detriment of any one (which can not be said of the one called Judge, who held our court last spring) but honestly, fairly and without prejudice to any one, and I have heard but universal commendation of the Judge. He did not come before supper and leave before breakfast next morning. - The civil docket was not touched. On Wednesday George Wash ington, of your place was arraigned the jury empanelled and his case begun which ended m his Deing found guilty of murder and sentenced to be hanged on the 28th day of next December. ' His counsel demanded a new trial which the court refused, and from his ruling an appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. The prisoner was defended by W. E. Clarke and L. J. Moore of your city, and B. F. Mayhew of Bayboro, and truly, faithfully and ably was he de fended. The counsel for the state was Mr. Simmons of your city, who supplied the place of Mr, John H. Blount, the solicitor of this district, Hon. W. Caho and Mr. Clem Manly, and they equally as well and faithfully dis charged their duty, and the speeches made on both sides are spoken of with universal commendation, but the one by Mr. Mayhew is spoken of as the greatest effort that has ever been made at our bar seldom equaled and ' but rarely excelled in any court, and but for the positive testimony would surely have aoquitted his client. - ': - Try POTTER'S COUGH DROPS. ; ; ,. , , - .- r --'r The official books show that Black well & Co. pay nearly two-thirds of all the revenue collected on; tobacco in their district. Their facilities for packing and storing, that the tobacco may not be hurried but may have time to cure and sweeten in a natural way, are the larg est and finest in the world. . These facts are mentioned to show that when you use Black well's Durham Long Cut in your pipe or cigarette you necessarily smoke a pure tobacco. . . : STATE NEWS Gleaned from our Exchanges.

Statesviue janamaric: A cor respondent writes us lrom Vaile Crucis, Watauga county, that Mr, John Walker, an old resident of that county, has this year raised on his farm an apple which meas nred 13j$ inches around. He weighed five which weighed 4 lbs; and he says they are not as heavy this year as usual. The mountains are reported full of the finest ap ples, thousands of bushels of which can be bought at 50c per bushel and less.- Mr. Allison Beaver, who moved from this county to Indiana early last spring, moved back a wcok or two ago. "His neighbor, Mr. John Fox, .who had bought his lariu when he went away, remarked, with a good deal of wit, 'when he heard that Mr, Beaver was back, that he had ex ercised fine judgment in going out in the cool ot the' spring and com ing back in the cool of the fall, ad ding by way of emphasis to the compliment, that it it had been many a man he would have come back in the heat of the summer. li ltaleigh "Newt and Observer: Next Monday the Supreme Conrt takes up cases from the Eighth district.
