It would doubtless give the old walls and housss in this city a much better appearance if freely ap plied. Iti is worth trying. - Mr. W. F. Kornegay, of Goldsboro, was very much impressed with the fine lands in Hyde. He was somewhat taken aback when told that the owners of land wouldn't sell any, but rallied quickly when it was suggested that some of them give it away with their daughters occasionally ' It is an ULwind that blows nobody any good.

A young white man walked into Mr. Asa Jones' store on Wednesday evening and asked to look at some coats. He put on one to see if it would fit, and while the clerk's back was turned to him he drew his old coat on over the now r one, and after that Could 'not be induced to try another fit, but " walked out, and was politely asked by the clerk, Mr. .Tar vis, at the wharf later '. in the evening, Just as he was preparing to leave town in a boat, to walk out of the .coat His attempt to get a coat cheap may be very costly yet. . Good Friday. . , To-day is called Good Friday and is 'observed with solemn services by large portion of the Christian weld. The Story of the cross is impressively told in these services and the events of the day are brought to the mind of the worshippers with Increased force. The physical sufferings of the Son of God were such as would move the hard est heart, had they been inflicted on the veriest malefactor, but when it is re membered that they were cruelly bestowed upon one whose life was with out blemish and whose walk among men had been only that of going about doi,' i good, it transcends the power of illumination to comprehend the ingratl tutle and sinfulness of the deeds.

New Berne merchants and the Farm era of the Egypt . of North 1 Carolina in Council. .. , ; , Prospect , for Communication 1T The long talked of steam communica tion between this city and Hyde county is at last assuming tangible shape. On Tuesday night the steamer Elm City left for Douglass bay with the following gentlemen on board : Messrs. Geo. Allen, T. A. Green, L. H. Cutler, Thos.'DanielB, IX. S. Mace, C. H. Blank, Geo. Credle, B. G. Credle, H. W. Wahab, K. R. Jones, Asa Jones, G. F. M. Dail, Capt. S. H. Gray and, as passengers, Mr. W. Kornegay, of Goldsboro, H. H. Moses, of Boston, Mrs.' Potter, Mrs. W. P. Ballance, Mrs. Geo. Credle, Rev. Mr. Lowe and family. Many ox these had never set foot on Hyde county soil, hence, on arriving at Douglass bay after three or four hours of sea siokness felt that they had been driven to this desolate, boggy, bull- froggy looking place to finish the job which ther thought begun on the rolling waves of Pamlico sound. " ' LIGHTWOOD CREEK CANAL. Leading into Douglass bay is a large canal which has been in course of for mation for. several years, for the purpose of draining lands, which is now being improved for navigation. ; A few farm ers began this work several years ago with spades, and cut it several miles at a cost of about $4,000. They have now formed a stock company, have purch ased a dredge and propose to deepen . the canal so as to make it navigable for about two and a half miles. This done, it can be extended for drainage to the South lake section and a large quantity of valuable land reclaimed.- The steamer cast anchor about two hundred yards from the mouth of the canal, the boats were lowered, and the company landed, ex cept the ladies, who were carried up the canal in the boats while the gentle men walked the banks, the mud thrown out having become hard making a good foot path. Following the canal for about two miles, we reach the settle ments in what Dr. Selby calls , - THE QUADRILATERAL, that being the shape of the lands lying on the South side of Mattamuskeet Lake, a section of country containing between three and four thousand in habitants, with four churches, two Methodist, one Episcopal and one Dis ciples, and four private schools, one of which is taught by Miss Jennie Patrick of Kinston. On reaching Cedar Grove and getting a view of the many nice and substantial dwellings, the mag nificent farms, and enjoying the gene rous hospitality of the people one for gets his sea sickness, and at once ex claims, "the finest country I have ever seen." . Thousands upon thousands of rich, leyel, stumpless acres. What fine chance for using improved ma chinery! - But Dr. Selby tells us there is not a successful "book farmer" in the Quadrilateral. THE MEETING. But these gentlemen went on busi nessaswell as the pleasure of seeing this famous grain section. They want ed to help these people to quicker com' munication with, the outside world. So according to notice previously sent them they were met at the Messrs. Watson s store about 11 o clock on Wednesday by quite a number of the citizens, among them Doctors Milton, Selby and S. A. Long, Capt. W. P. Midyette, Messrs. S. M. Mann, D. G Saddler, A. B. Tunnell, Fred Roper, Joe McCloud, Jumes Gibbs, Harrison Douglass, Geo. I. Watson, D. M. Wat son, Sheriff McCloud and others. .', The meeting was called to order by Mr. T, A. Green, and Mr. Geo. I. , Watson elected chairman, H. S. Nunn, eeore- tary. .; .' :.-:r.. -j.' The chair asked Mr. Green to explain the objects of the meeting. Mr. Green explained that it was for the purpose of discussing the prospects and advisability of connecting the city of New Berne with Hyde county by steam. Mr. D. M. Watson was called upon for his views. He responded in a short speech, Baying that he was very anxious for a steamer, but thought the prospects for making one pay on the line at this time were very discouraging, because there is not much to ship. He promised, however, that if the company saw fit to put on the steamer he would do all in his power to help them make it pay. The cost of cutting the canal, he said was very heavy to a few - in the community, and they ex pected from the beginning to get outside help. He was sure that money put into it by any one could be picked up again at almost any time. Dr. Selby was called upon. "The two 1 atsons," said he as he arose, "are the ones to talk about this matter. Every coramunif y has to have one or two men to lun it, and they are running this. I would be glad to have the steamer come. New Berne is our town; we are heading that way. We have been working a long time on this canal, and have spent a great deal of money, and it had to be done by a few. As soon as completed some steamer will use it. Norfolk is ready now, but we prefer New Berne. We hope- to furnish a landing within two months. We have suffered from not being able to control the marketing of our produce. When this canal is completed over one hundred thousand bushels of corn will go down it annually. If the people find the steamboat prefer able it will carry it. But you have first to gain the confidence of the people, that is, convince them that the boat will be run. The Tiger My, the last boat run here, we learn paid expenses, and yet every one expected every trip would be the last. Now it is as much interest to you of New Berne to carry our corn to your market as it is for us to send it. You are traders; we are producers. A steamboat line will double the trade. Your wholesale merchants can sell our merchants, and the trade between the two points will be largely increased. Now come forward and help us cut this canal, put on your boat," shut down on the dead head ' system, make freight and passenger fare as low as possible, and don't expect too much at once. We want to get communication with a seaport city that has a railroad. Our people trade everything out, don't stock anything. Norfolk wants to get this trade from you. Take hold of us and become a part of our community; take stock in this canal. We are an isolated people but we value our lands as better than bank stock or United States bonds." The Doctor continued in this strain for sometime, making a very sensible speech. Capt. S. H. Gray was called upon, and followed with a very good speecn. no said tne question was the farmers of Hyde wanted quick transportation for their produce; the merchants of New Berne want you to carry it to them. Where should they meet? He showed that the people of New Berne had by an outlay of oonsid erable money built a boat suitable for their trade. He regarded Douglass bay as the most feasible point to concentrate the freights by means of tramways around the lake and be' taken thence by steamer to Ne w Berne. His speech con tained some good practical suggestions, Dr. S. A. Long was next called upon. He gave a brief history of the work on the canal; stating that they had been foiled in their plans several times but were determined to put it through. He was anxious for steamboat connection with New Berne. The market for their corn seems to be southward and west ward. If they sent corn to Wilmington it was better to send via New Berne and the railroad than by sailboat. He had not been to New Berne in ten years, be cause he could not travel on these sail boats. He thought he was worthy of being seen once in awhile George Credle, aside, "If he will pay. me a good salary I will go areund and pass myself off as Dr. Long, of Hyde." His was an earnest speech. , Mr. S. M. Mann followed in a few re marks, after which, on motion of T. A. Green, the following gentlemen were appointed a committee to take the mat ter into consideration and report at 4 o'clock: Geo. I. Watson, Dr. S. A. Long, Dr. Selby, S. H. Gray and H. W. wahab. un motion, Mr, Green was added to the committee.. The meeting adjourned until 4 p. m. The citizens in attendance took the gentlemen from the city to their homes and entertained them handsomely, first with a good substantial country dinner and then with horses and buggies to see the lake. The editor of the Journal, in company with Mr. C. H. Blank, went to Dt. Selby 's and fared sumptuously. At 4 o'clock the meeting again assem bled at Watson's, when Mr. T. A. Green Bubmitteda report for tho committee which in substance was 1 that the canal company should ; open the canal at its mouth to six feet water in the - sound, and do all in their power to secure patronage for the line, and the steamboat com pany to put on the boat not later than the first of May, build warehouse, and run for " twelve months. Tho report was adopted. It was a' to agreed that Mr. D. M. ' Watson should be the agent of the steamboat company at that point. The meeting was a harmonious one and will doubtless lead to good results. Hyde county is a rich field for New Berne to operate in. By putting on such a steamer as the Elm City we will bring her people to Bee us oftener; we wilt become better acquainted and soon their interest will be our interest. We have more to say on this subject in the luture. . . , H ' For Rent. rooms at the Brinson House, by felStf Sarah A. Johnson, ; Kinston Items. Last Wednesday was fair, cool, windy and dusty.

Such timber can be turned into money within a few years, and the value of a tract of land will soon be determined by the quantity- anil quality of its timber. In a short time we will wish we had more forests instead of less; for the ax of the woods man will follow close behind the keen- eyed speculator, who are already look' ing this way for the future timber sup ply of the country.

Six inches of snow fell last night at tort Wayne Indiana, and uayton, umo, and seven inches in Anthracite City, Pa. U began snowing in Washington about a. m., and continued until 11a. m In Baltimore snow fell until .3 p. ra. but it had all disappeared in Baltimore and Washington in two hours after the fall had ceased. Direct telegraphic communication be tween Washington and New York was entirely suspended for several hours during the business portion of the day, because of the prostration of every wire between Baltimore and Philadelphia by the high wind. Late in the afternoon communication was xe-established, but has since been subject to annoying in terruption, and belated business is be ing disposed of. ' Republican Meeting:.
