Moon rises at 11:44 p. m. ;' . The city marshal has had some much needed work done on Change street. Let him who regrets the loss of time make the proper use of that which is to come. We return thanks for an invitation to attend the grand ball at Trenton next Friday night. The conductors on the A. & N. C. Railroad tell us that business is good on both ends of the road at present. A merchant on Broad street was teas Jng a country widower yesterday for currying out ft cookstove, as if it was something unuBual for widowers to eat eooked victuals. " : The hum of machinery in Stimson's and Congdon's mills near the railroad depot sounds business like, and causes the stroller who passes that way to quicken his pace, 'i, Business has been lively in the matri monial line during the past week. Nine marriage licenses have been issued by the Register of Deeds, four to whites and five to colored couples. The country is not yet full of engines, nor are the times too hard for people to buy, as we see Mr. J. C. Whitty shipping a 20 horse power tubular to Mr. Marcus Carawan at Goose Creek Island on yes terday. Mr. Alex. Miller has received some beautiful shrubbery from an Augusta, Oa. Nursery, for Cedar Grove Cemetery. Mr. Miller is perfectly devoted to his work in looking after the Cemetery and having things kept in the neatest order, Capt L. T. Oglesby, of Caiteret, called to see us yesterday and renewed his subscription to the Journal. He is one of the few farmers who never buys meat and bread but makes it at home, and a few bales of - cotton ,i for pocket change. lie is a Jeff ersonian Democrat, and be- lure vua war was a wueet iiujoo iu a M 1 1 1. 1 U fM . canvass.

A friend just from Hyde county re ports that a negro who was in jail es caped last Saturday night by heating ft chisel and burning out the staple of the lock on the door. After getting out he wint to Rev.,Mr. Beaman's and stole his fine horse, with which he made his escape. He crossed Alligator river in tho neighborhood of Kilkenny, and while crossing the marsh the horse got mired down. Ho went out to get help ' to get him out, promising the gentlemen who assisted mm nve aoiiars. Aiier the horse was out he could not pay the money. This circumstance caused his assistants to suspect that something was wrong. They sent over to Fairfield and there learned of the escape from jail and tho boy and horse were returned the one to gladden the heart of the min ister, the other to console tho sheriff and "let the law take its course."

The committee has bought and placed in the room a handsome clock which is of great convenience to both teachers and pupils. Superintendent Long has discharged his duty well in looking after tbis Bchool and seeing that the teachers have the proper qualifications to discharge their duties.

We had thought that the bad weather through January had put the farmers behind, and that there was no end to work on the farm at present, but we had this warmly disputed on yesterday. young white man walked into our office and said: I wish you would lend me fifteen cents to buy me something to eat until I can get some work." "We don't keep money to lend, the National Bank is just around the corner, and ther are a very clever set of fellows there. Why don't you go out In the country and get work on a farm " "Nothing to do there now.; Farmers won't have any work before about on month." "I think you are mistaken; the farm: era are ratner behind nana ana neea good hands." ' 1 "' ; ' "Well, but I've tried, I know there ain't nothing to do." (Then we knew he was a humbug.) "Are you disabled, crippled any way so you can't work?" "No sir." ; . Well, I have been a farmer myself and I know from actual experience that this is one of the busiest seasons of . the year, especially when the winter has been disagreeable.'? "I only want fifteen cents; that aint muoh." "It's a power of money to us, and to every other man that has to work for it, You ought to be ashamed of yourself; a young, healthy man going around beg ging for a living." WI am not begging I I only wanted to borrow the money I" "Yes, but I had rather give It to you than lend it to you. Go to the country and get work with some good farmer.' "I can get work at twenty-five cents a day. but I don t work for no sicb prices." :' . " '.' .'-". ,' Nor do I lend money on such secur ity." He walked out, shaking his head, and we picked up the Code and found sec tion 8,834, which we hope some one will read to the young man. It is as follows Any person who may be able to labor and who has no aPDarent means of sub sistence, and neglects to apply mmseii to some honest occupation for the sup port of himself and his family; or, if any person shall be found spending his time in dissipation, or gaming or saun terine about without employment, or endeavoring to maintain himself or his family by any undue or unlawful means, such person shall be a vagrant, and euiltv of a misdemeanor, and pun ished bv a fine not to exceed fifty dol lars or by imprisonment not to exceed thirty days; and the offense shall be coenizable before a justice of the peace who may release me pariy on nia giving a recognizance, with or without security for his industrious ana peaceaDie ae portment for one year or less from the date thereof, or may also impose on him a punishment not to exceed that above mentioned."

Hill expects to plant eight or ten acres in strawberries at Warsaw this season. He is put ting out plants now. It is said that the berries ripened two weeks earlier last year at Warsaw than at aisons. Ealeigh Farmer and Mechanic: Augustus W. Graham, Esq., and other young gentlemen of this State, nave become owners of a large min ing property near Birmingham, Ala., and are now engaged in or ganizing it on a business basis. he accident at the new Episcopal church in Henderson recently, was duplicated at Jonesboro on Friday evening, by the giving way of a scaffold at the new Methodist church there. Four or more men were precipitated a distance of 25 to 30 leet, and lay nntil help came. Charles Kiddle, John Brown, Jos jonnson, ana jos. wicker were hurt; the two last named not se riously. Urpliari'8 Jtnend: There are now 135 children at the Asylum, and a number of applications for admis sion J-In order to run the Asylum successfully, the contributions must average about $800 per month, or $200 per week. Mr. Honeycutt, of-Johnson county, .who, having been married seventeen years, has no children. last week adopted annie Hall, of New Berne. Mr. Mills leaves to day (Friday) for his home at Thomasvillc, where he will open a school for boys on the first Monday in March. Mr. Mills has been Superintendent of the Asylum ever since its Organization, and it is hard to realize the fact that he has severed his connection with it. he Board of Directors meet on the first Tuesday in April, when they will elect a Superintendent. Miss Jordan is in charge, and will act as ; Superintendent until the election of Mr. Mill's successor. Durham Tobacco Plant: Some two weeks ago a; party of revenue officers went to the residence of A W. Pendergrass, near the Orange and Durham county line, and acted in a very unbecoming manner. Mr, Pendergrass was absent at the time, his wile and little children being alone. Mrs. Pendergrass and her little children were in tne kitchen, when three men with guns cocked and presented; rushed into the house, and without ceremony or giving any intimation of what their business was, commenced to tear up the floor in order to reach a po- tato cellar under the house. Mrs Pendergrass and. her children were terribly frightened. We direct the attedtion of the authorities to this outrageous proceeding and . cal! upon them to have : the matter in vestigated. The people will no long quietly submit to such high handed measures. Chatham Record: On last Thurs day Mr. Caleb Dixon, a highly re spected citizen of Albright town ship, met with a most horrible acci dent that caused his death in three or four hours. He had recently put up a saw mill at his flour mil on Tick creek near Ore Hill, and on last Thursday was there to see about starting it. Late in the afternoon, evertbing being ready, he pulled the rope that let m tne water and in doing so slipped and fell right in front of the saw, which cat him almost in two. Dr. Kirk man was at once sent for, and ren dered all the aid that was possible. but no human help could avail. Mr. Dixon remained perfectly conscious to the last, expressing his willing ness to die, and gave several mes for his lamily. A great many rabbits are carried from this county to the Kaleigh market, and it is frequently made a matter of iest and laughter, that rabbits are one ol our cuiet products., wo were recently told, while in Raleigh, that i .mi .i ii a prominent mercnanc oi mat cuy was seen walking across the street with a countryman' in friendly con versation, and after they had scp arated a group of Ealeighites asked the merchant who was his acquaint; ance. He replied that ho was Chatham man, but did not know his name. They then asked him how he knew that tho man was from Chatham. To thia he answered 'Oh, I know that he is a Chatham man, because his breath smolt of fried rabbit and corn whiskey!" Boaufort Items. Telephone. - . Quite a number of licenses to make oyster beds have been granted by the erk of the Superior Court during the past week, and we hope the number will be largely multiplied. Select your location at once and go to work plant ing. Jim Batson, a colored boy about six teen years of age, who accompanied a party of men to Georgia in January last to engage in labor in the turpentine dis trict for the coming year, returned Wed nesday, having managed to get back alive and well without the assistance of money or friends. He did .some pretty good walking. Air. Uavicl W. Kusseii, on isewDern road, lost a valuable horse last week. The animal was taken suddenly and se- erely with colic or some affection of the intestines and nothing that could be done seemed to be of any avail. Such a loss at this season of the year is quite a misfortune. ' ' On Tuesday night of last week the farm dwelling of Mr. M. R. Springle, on Newbern roid, took fire and burned to the ground, a total loss. The fire is said by the neighbors to have, seemingly, originated in the roof, which is unac countable, as Mr. Springle was at the time in Newbern, and the house was va cant and no ladder could be found any where near the premises. Mr. Springle was fortunate enough to have an insu rance of $200 on the house, which will in part reimburse him for his loss. A colored man, brother to the would be criminal who is now in jail on a charge of larceny, took his gun and ammunition on Thursday of last week and entered the swamp near Harlowe creek. He soon became confused, then lost, and wandered about until Sunday, without rinding a road or habitation. On Sunday morning he heard the crow ing of a rooster and following the sound he came to the farm of Mrs. E. Hard esty, completely broken down in body for want of food, and considerably dazed in mind. Mrs. H. supplied him with food and started him on the road home, but he gave out in a short time, and would probably have died but was discovered by a party who were out in search of him, and proper means were taken for his relief. , Tho New Episcopal Diocese. Three of the five members of the standing committee of the Diocese of Hast Carolina met here Tuesday, ihese were Rev. J. C. Huske, D.D., of Fayette- ville, chairman of the committee, Rev. T. M. Ambler, of Wilmington, and Dr. A. J.' DeRosset, of Wilmington, secretary of the committee. The meet ing was for the purpose of receiving, officially, the replies which had been received from the standing committee of other dioceses, relative to Dr. Watson's election as bishop of the new diocese These replies were from 84 out of 48 dioceses in the United States, and all were in the affirmative, thus making two more than the necessary two-thirds, The next step by the committee was to send off the credentials of the bishop elect to the venerable Bishop Smith, of Kentucky, the nresidine bishon of the church of the United States, and Bishop Smith will submit it to the other bishops. When their approval is obtained (of which there is no doubt) and Bishop Smith is again heard from, the neces sary 8tepswill be taken towards Dr. Watson's consecration. At one time it was thought that this would take place next month, but it is now probable that it will not be until April, perhaps early in the month. " wu. lieview. The Darkey of To-day. It is obvious that the negroes of tte South are gradually exhibiting an antit athy to that kind of labor required on the farm. They are happy so long as they can by desultory services earn money enougn to Duy tne necessary food to enable them to pose at their fa vorite places of resort on Sundays, with a cigar protruding irom tneir lips ana a suit of clothes bearing a greater or less resemblance to gentility, now and then decorated with a brass watchchain of loud pretentions. - one or the consequences or tnis is tnat in many sections of the country owners of land are perplexed to get the proper quantity and quality or neip they re- ii l: . quire lor ma buuvosbiui uuiuvtwuu their farms.
