Shad are now selling for 30 to 50 cents par pair; herrings for 10 cents per bunoh. " We expected a special telegram from the Raleigh conventions last night, but received none. A Colored excursion the first of the seasons-was run on yesterday from this city to Morehead. The jury in the election case from Pamlico had not reported at the time we goto press." The steamer Elm City on her last trip brought from Dail's mill 15,000 feet of ceiling for the new court house. - An affray near the market yesterday resulted in John Sldde being knocked dowf With the half of a brick from the handj of negt$ boy. ";. Capt. Swift Galloway 'b name has been mentioned or Lieut. Governor. . His stentorian voice would always enable him to be heard, as a presiding officer. The mass meeting last night was well , attended,, and what' was done was pointed and orderly. The proceed ings will appear in to-morrow's Jour nal. The Wizard Oil Company has been entertaining the good people of Beaufort this week and is expected to return to this city this morning, where they will take shipping per steamer Slienandodh, Nortfi having; closed the season in our State. A mail route has been ordered by the Poatoffice Department to be established between, Washington and Aurora, three - times a week. Advertisement has been made for ' proposals and the route will be established properly on July 1st. This is the route that - the Gazette has been advocating for some time, and we con gratulate the people along the line upon its establishment. ;To ' Hon. T. G. Skinner, the, postmasters and other gen tlemen' the "people are indebted. Washington Gazette. - It was noticeable on Wedne sday that Judge Seymour was suffering with a severe, cold and scarcely able to speak audibly, but we suppose, rather than delay jurors, witnesses and others in the business before them, he was disposed to hold court, though attended with much . inconvenience and pain to him self. Yesterday, however, he had to ajourn the morning session,, and was evidently too unwell for the duties of the afternoon. 'J- May Day at. the Graded School.' The children of the Graded School observed the day by a procession around the Academy Green and crowning Miss Rachel Brookfleld, "teacher of advanced first grade, the Queen of May. Foyland Academy Colored. " This school closed on the 25th April with ' examinations, tableaux.' etc' Among the pleasing events of the occa siou was the presentation of a wreath of flowers to Wtri. Foy, Esq., school com mitteeman. Isaac H. Smith, the princi pal teacher, is spoken favorably of by the patrpf of the school, i ft if Irlth Potato ei.?. X'.t t'-' iw "From, the present appearances,! the Irish potato crop will be fine. Our Swansborq correspondent led off with the earliest; our neighbors Hancock and Green with the flftest 't, but we are of the opinion, that our friend Hill has the best, because1 : wff i.faaye, tasted them. They were not only largest in eiza; but also in quantity. 1 He is a regular potato Hill in vegetable culture.. U. 8. Dlslrist Conrt. ; f. The court met at 10 o'clock but ow ing to the sickness of His Honor Judge Seymour,' adjourned to meet at ; 8:80 o'clock. . The atfrooW session was consumed in the arguments on the election cases from Pamlico, upon which the evidence was taken on Wednesday. , The case was argued by Assistant District At torney Bagley for the prosecution, Geo, H. Brown, Esq.; and Mr. B.T. Mayhew for theefehce? 'and District 'Attorney Robinson making the closing address to the jury. After a clear and careful charge from life" Judge whichjeiwing to bis hoarseness, was read by sit, Bagley the jury tcok the case, and the couit adjourned to this morninx 10 o'clock General Brightening Up. . The spirit of improvement has taken a fresh hold among the people of our city. In addition to several new build ings going up, there are a great many old fences removed and new ones erected, old porches pulled down to give place to better, while the whitewash and paint brush is spreading around somewhat promiscuously, and a general brightening up is the order of the day. Let the good work go on, say we. Shelling the Cltjr. The shelling of the city by the author ities goes on with no let up. It is good for us that they use neither Greek fire, hotshot, nor the regular old bomb, but the useful and harmless oyster shell, which much improves the drive-ways and foot-ways of the city. Middle street is now furnished a full covering from the market house to the railroad depot, and Broad .from Mid dle to Craven, which has been also shelled from the foot to that point. Mistaken In the Man. Bro. Shotwell of the Fanner and Mechanic is mistaken in the man who made the speech in the Republican con vention here the other day. He evi dently thinks it was General R D. Han cock of the State militia, whieh was not the fact. Gen. R. D. Hancock says he is a full blooded Democrat, now henceforth and forever, and cheerfully submits to the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States and all other duly authorized courts in matters of civil and all other rights. Perianal. Judge Shepherd arrived yesterday afternoon from Carteret court on his way home for a day's rest. Walter P. Williamson, Esq., Post master at Tarboro, is in the city in at tendance. upon the District court. The late convention at Halifax selected him as the elector for this district on the Republican ticket at the approaching Presidential election, and it is advised to put our clever fellow citizen Clem Manly against him on the Democratic ticket. It is thought that they resemble each other so greatly that the voters could not make the distinction, and Clement might get in on his voice. Bad! Bad! It was more than insinuated in the District court in the Pamlico county election case on yesterday that tvyo of the judges of election had sold out. Last night it was boldly charged in the mass meeting that delegates to the late county convention did sell out. We protest against this wholesale charge of corruption among our Repub lican friends, and would suggest that family feuds be more gently dealt with, and besiiles. if the impression gets well around that Republicans are ready to sell out, the Democrats will doubtless be as ready to shell out. Beware of the man with the bar'l. BIcmorlal Day. Below is the programme of the mem orial services to take place on the 10th of May in our sister town of .Washing ton, which we copy from the Watch- Tower: '' C;- ' ' The Association of Ex-Confederate soldies of Beaufort county will meet in the Opera House atj 11 o'clock, a. m., Rov.

" 1 We would suggest Monday, the 12th, as the 10th will be Saturday, which would be inconvenient to many. . Why suffer with Malaria?

Whiskey is coming down. Unfortu nately it is going down also. The farmers are "making hay while the sun shines" just about now. Four things are greviously empty a head without brains, a wit without judg ment, a heart without honesty, and a purse without money. There is no opposition yet to Col. Moses in his triumphant progress to the mayoralty of Einston. Senator Vance and Col. Moses are the people's favor ites. Cut flowers are now carried in re frigerators from Italy to England, a journey of nearly two days, and reach their destination looking as fresh as if just cut from the parent stalk. We still advise our friend, Judge Sut ton, to watoh the county commissioners. They may shake hands affectionately, but we remember the only dog that ever bit us never stopped wagging his tail. "Mesmerism,'' as usually understood, involves the attainment of a super sentivs nervous state, which cannot ex actly be taught, but may perhaps be evolved from the inner consciousness through persistent efforts. This is Steacyism. The inimitable Nowitzky, after hear ing the fine charge of Judge Shepherd to the grand jury at Einston, told him it was perfectly lovely, but that he would have made a different charge would have charged them five dollars each and told them to go home. The yellowhammer prescription was a novel one indeed for a sick man. It is said to have been the prescription of Dr. Denny, of Tuckahoe Einston, the only physician in this locality who knows what it requires to cure the sick of Swamp Hollow. Mrs. Morrts Eetchum and Miss Anita Washington, daughters of George Wash ington, Esq., a former resident of Ein ston, left here last Wednesday, the 30th inst., for New Haven, Conn., where their father now resides. They have been spending the winter at Einston with their uncle, Col. John C. Wash ington. The anxiety that many parents and teachers have to push very young chil dren to the utmost of their powers is almost certain to sacrifice the very ob ject at which they aim. The precocious little boy or girl usually turns out to be the stupid, inactive man or woman Education in young children must be at the same time amusement, or it is val ueless and probably harmful. A repul sive task should never be set for a child GENERAL KETVS. Paris, April 28. An Irishman says that an emissary of the Clan ua-Gael has arrived in Paris from New York to buy a cruiser provided with torpedoes. Tyuan is expected in Paris soon, where he and O'Cat lerty will direct the dynamite and dagger campaign. An acting agent of the new party, which aims to unite all patriotic Irishmen, says that the party has already consid erable funds with which to begin a campaign with, cruisers provided with torpedoes, lievolving guns will protect the crews if attacked. These vessels will be employed agaihst British men-of-war in vari ous harbors. The Matin (newspaper) publishes a report of an interview, in which it is alleged that "Number One" (Tynan) is somewhere in England It alleges that the party from whom its information was obtained had recently interviewed Tynan in Lon don, whq stated that behind him was a force before which England would one day tremble. "There are,'' said Tynan, "men of high po sition and social and intellectna distinction among the Invincibles defy the English Government and its hirelings." Yankton, Dakota, April 28. Under the indictment charging him with asking and receiving bribes as a united states officer, Gov. Ordway to-day gave bail in the United States Court, in the sum of $10,000, for appearance at the next term of court, probably in June. The, indictment refers to alleged bribery in the organization of Fanlk county. The jnry adopted lengthy resolutions, certifying nnder oath to the important character of the investigation. ' The resolutions and evidence showjthe necessity for an investigation, and that, while many points ? have been admitted which cannot be made public, the whole is sufficient cause for serious alarm over the methods of conduct' lng public affairs.

James Lowe, of Cedar Grove township, Randolph county, killed from his flock n two year old sheep a few days ago, the net mutton ol which weighed. 70 pounds. The hide with the wool on, weighed 12J pounds, the tallow alien irom it weighed 14 pounds. Mutton buyers should inspect his flock, as he has a number of others iur euie. Wilmington Star: The opera tion of hatching young shad from the eggs is watched with a great deal of interest at the hatchery in the lower end of tho market. In one jar we were tcld that there were fifty thousand eggs, and that the most of them hatch out young fish, the highest percentage being and the lowest 05. Messrs. W. E. Davis & Son had ou exhibi tion yesterday, at the fish market. monster specimen of the finny tribe known as the king of the shad, or "Tarpiu.'' lie weighed one hundred and seventy pounds.

L. Muligan, of Concord township, has a white oak on his place that measures 21 ieet in cir cumference G inches above the ground, and a black gum which measures 9 leet in circumtereuce. Notwithstanding all the vicis situdes through which they have come, wheat and winter oats in this county are looking splendidly. Farmers seem not to attach much importance to the recent change in the color of some of tho wheat. Our judgment is that one-third more wheat was sowed in Iredell last lull than the fall before, though the acreage last year was very large. Mr. W. G. Hair, who lives in Cbambersburg township, near the iowan line, brought to this omce Monday, a head of May wheat the first exhibited here this season. lie plucked it Sunday. Mr. J. R. Ritchie, of the same township, brought to us on Tuesday, several heads of Rare-Ripe wheat, which lie took from his field Monday Core Creek Items.

Uentle, yet thorough, in their action, they cure constipation, stimulate the digestive organs and the appetite, and cleanse, build up, and strengthen the system,,,, J :w The "constantly tired-out" feeling so often experienced is the result of impov' erished blood, and consequent enfeebled vitality. . Ayer's Sarsaparilla feeds and enriches the blood, increases the appe lite, and promotes digestion ot the food and the assimilation of its strengthening qualities. The system being thus invig orated, the feeling rapidly changes to a grateful sense of strength and energy. A Remarkable Tribiitfi ; .
