Died, on Thursday last, the horse Henry, well known to our citizens as the old express horse. . The age of Henry is a matter of doubt, but must be in the neighborhood of thiity years. Henry came to this place in the service of the United States Army probably about the time of the capture of New Berne. In 1364 he was con demned and sold, the Adams Express Company becoming the purchasers, and he at once installed in the service of that company, where he continued to do duty with all the regularity of that corporation up to about three years ago, when age and infirmity rendered him unable to do the work and the company passed a second condemnation on him and ordered him i gold. Mr. Geo. Henderson, who hibeen long with the company and attached to Henry, not wishing so faithful a servant us the horse had been should be turned out to starve and die or receive the harsh treatment likely to be meetcd out by a new master who would h;;ve no special interest further than to Ket the worth of the purchase money" out of him, determined to buy him, and see to it that the declining years of the old animal should be such as would be proper that even a faithful brute, worn out -in the service of man, should re coive. This Mr. Henderson did and re fused all offers, preferring to lose the whole amount paid for him, as well as the cost of keeping him rather than to show an unfeeling disposition f jr the old beast behind whom he and his as sistant, B. K. Bryan, had travelled so many 6tormy nights and sultry days, through heat and cold, wind and weather, to serve the interest of their employers and the public. From the time Henry passed into the hands of Mr. Henderson he has been seen but little on the street and his looks have ceased in a a measure to be familiar to us, but upon reflection it is readily recalled as the cream colored or claybank, whito mane and tail, gently moving animal, be tween the shafts of the beautifully painted wagon with .Messrs. Henderson and Bryan on the box, making up a picture in the business scenes of New Berne as well remembered as any that has been photographed by ths mind of any of our citizens. At the Seaside Your reporter has just returned from a very pleasant trip to Morehead City, where a meeting of the stockholders was held Friday. The train carried down, beside the stockholders, a large number of excursionists, which, in con nection with the crowd that came down the evening before, swelled the number to vast proportions. Besides at the hotels, there are a good many families stopping at boarding houses and private dwellings for the summer months. The season has now fairly opened and everything in the way of enjoy mentis indulged in. Beating, fishing, bathing, and dancing to the music of Wurm's band all of whom are excel lent musicians is just too nice to speak of. Here are the old, the middle-aged, the young and on down to the 12 months stripling, who sometimes takes occasion to give a free concert in the way of de veloping his vocal organs. We were registered at the New Berne House, under the management of Mr, Fred. Perry. Mr. Perry has everything arranged nicely and spares no pains in adding to the accommodation of his guests. The plank footway leading from this hotel affords a pleasant walk to visit the mammoth Atlantic Hotel and drink in tho various pleas ures. - , While everything was joyous and grand, one of the most striking scenes that befell our eye was the display of some as pretty and fast sail boats as any could wish to see. t Just to watch them in their new dress of pure white paint and new sails is grand indeed.' With grace and elegance they cut and dash around in majestic style at the will of the skilled and bronze faced helmsman. Reporter. '. Loco Items. Health good; no use for doctors just now.

Among the aspirants I hear the name of A. B. Carrol, Esq., men tioned. He is a man fully competent to discharge the duties of the office and if elected would would make a good officer, possessing as he does all the qualifications requisite. ,' Stonewall Items. Hurrah for the Democratic State tioket. Mr. Charles Davenport is and has been very sick tor several days. R. H. Lane, of this place, is having quite an improvement added to his house. S. H. Fowler, of Bayboro, is having a lot of new tenant houses built in that place. The march of improvement goes steadily on, bugs or no bugs. Mrs. Bob Lewis died Friday morning at 5 o'clock, of pneumonia. She leaves one child, a husband, father and mother, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. There is a bully by the name of Ike Ormond who has been employed by Charles H. Fowler for a number of years, who took into his head to horse whip James M. Lane, he Ormond, armed himself with a horsewhip and a 32 calibre pistol and waylaid Lane on nis way from his supper Friday night and commenced to administer a horse whipping on Lane, but Mack did not stand meekly and receive his castiga- tion but tried a small pistol and it would not work; he pocketed the pistol and went into his would be chastiser, threw him on the ground and mounted him and commenced to use a small dull pocket knife until he had well marked him, in other words as Dr. Ross, his physician, says he (Ormond) is the worst cut man he ever saw. Ormond showed the white feather and cried "take him off." Jim Lincoln pulled Mack off and held him until Ormond got up, got his pistol and then run and left Mack to be shot by the wouia-oe assassin, which tie was, until he fell to the ground seriously and pain fully hit in four places, I hope not fatally. Dr. Ross says Ormond is in a critical condition. I guess when he takes it into his head to horsewhip an other he will be a little more choice. A Scriptural (notation. Klnston Free Press. Many, many years ago, when earth was young and time was bright, there flourished in the fertile valley of the sa cred river Nusa, a beautiful city, called in the Hebrew tongue Kistah. JNow the ruler of this city was a good and wise man, learned in the law, called Moses, who tanght the people thereof the ordi nances and statutes, and showed them the way wherein they must walk, and the work they must do. Moreover Moses chose able men out of Kistah, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness, to be his chief counselors, high priests and scribes, who brought all hard causes to Moses, but of eyery small matter they judged themselves. From the wise men of the east Moses chose Jesse, of Slabtah, and James, who dwelt in Kistah, and Andrew the Disciple, and John, even John, the Tuckahoite; and Levi, the chief centurion. And Mobos exhorted the children of Kistah to obedience, saying hearken, 0 ye children of Kistah, utito the statutes and unto the judgments which I teach you. Ye shall not add unto the vord which l command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep these commandments and go in and enjoy in peace the little real estate which your daddies have given unto you. Keep ye theretore and do them, for this is your wisdom and your under standing in the sight of the great nation of Goldsboreb, which shall hear all these statutes and say, Surely this great na tion is a wise and understanding people, and haveth a great and good ruler. And, lo I the people found favor in the eyes of Moses and went on multiplying and replenishing the earth. Now in all the country round about Kistah dwelt a goodly people, the Gen tiles, who quietly tended their flocks on the Hill of Pinkat or tilled the soil and garnered grain along the valley of the river Nusa. ,- And it oame to pass that in third month of the reign of the good king Moses, that the Davisites, the Gradites, the Fieldites, the Olemanites and the Collites wee tup unto Kistah to the annual feast of the Passover, and to pay tribute unto their king the Mottite. And lot dissensions arose among them and the high priest of Collites went in under cover to pay tribute unto their king. Then was the chief scribe of the Olemanites exceedingly wroth, and said in a loud voice unto the high priest of the Collites, "Thou hast transgressed the law, for it is written that Thou shalt not remove the ancient landmarks which thy fathers have set." "Neither shalt thou light a candle and put it under a bushel, yet thou hast done all this." Then the high priest of Collites an awering said, "O most wicked scribe Thou hast broken the ninth command ment." Then the chief scribe without having the fear of God within his heart smote the high priest on the jaw bone with his Rword ana slew him. And lol because of all this fear come upon all the children of Kistah, and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth among them causing them to cry as if with one voice unto their good king Moses saying "Save us or we perish." Then Moses raising his trumpet of ram's horn unto his mouth and looking to the East, and to the West, and to the v North and to the South blew a blast that was heard through all Kistah, and when Levi the, cantunon came before him: Moses com manded him to cast the priest of the Collites and the chief Scribe into prison, and summons to his council chamber, Jessie of Slabtah, and James who d welt in Kistah, and Andrew the Disciple, 1 John even John the Tuckahoito."

Elizabeth City Falcon: Several of our citizens are, we understand, preparing to test tbe virtues of artificial incubators, in the business of raising poultry for market. Capt.

Elizabeth City Economist: Corn here is scarce and in demand at about 70 cents per bushel. Our townsman, D. B. Bradford, went to school to J, G.

Jackson, and with Mr. Jackson's permission he cut it down, when to his surprise he found but a wasp nest. We have not heard what luck he had in hiving tnem. The crops in this section are looking remarkably tine.

Keruersville News: Notwith standing the fact that the early spring was exceedingly wet, at this time things never were more prom ising lor an aounaance ol every thing, wheat is already made and those who handle it say they never handled better. Spring oats are generally poor in this country, but the plentiful rain has kept them going till now a good crop is cer tain. Corn is looking well, though we lack in acreage, not enough planted. Tobacco, well, there never was such a quantity planted, and never did an alt-wise Provi dence grant a more successful time tor planting. All of week before last the weather was alternate rain and sunshine; never giving the young plants a chance to wilt. Charlotte Democrat: The small grain crops in this section are being harvested, and promises a good yield. Growing crops are in a flourishing condition. Cotton and corn never looked better. Last Sunday, the 22d inst., about 3 o'clock in the afternoon a severe storm of wind, rain and hail passed over portions of Mecklenburg and Cabarrus counties, doing great dam age to the crops. ; In this county, four farms of corn, cotton and oats were utterly destroyed, besides barns and trees blown down. The storm passed over Crab Orchard township, about 12 miles hom the city, preceded by a gentle breeze, which suddenly turned into a whirl wind, ana irom the clouds came hail which was visible on the ground after the storm. The principal sufferers were Messrs. Wearn liar' ris and A. B. Caldwell. Mr. Cald well lost a fine field of oats just ready for harvest, which was shat tered by the hail, and carried away by the wind. The storm in Cabar rus county was less destructive, but several farmers were more or less injured. - Avoid by all means the use of calomel for bilious complaints.
