II Mallison, Esq., has handed us a and asked paper with the above title which was published at Washington, N. C, in 1848. We find at its masthead the following: THE PEOPLE'S TICKET. For President, GEN. ZACHAKY TAYLOR, of Louisiana, For Vice-President, HON. MILLIARD FILLMORE, of New York. It was a campaign document, pub- session yesterday when the remaining constables who had not completed their bonds came forward with sufficient sureties and they were sworn in. M03es Bryan was reappointed undertaker without bond, so he no longer dreads Cleveland's election. Hancock Bros. were awarded the contract for furnish ing the jail and poor house withmedi cal supplies for the ensuing year Branson' Almanae. , We have received a copy of Branson 's North Carolina almanac for 1853, and find it full of important information for all classes. It contains the names of the next General Assembly, with a few exceptions, and the representative of Craven is among the exceptions, We notice, several papers in giving the names, of .Representatives-elect from each county have a after Craven county. - This means that they dont know who is elected from this county So we respectfully inform all our breth ren of (he press and the world at large that the, name of Craven county's re cently elected representative is John E. Hussey, Sheriff Hahn's present deputy, add, literally speaking, he is a "black" Republican. The almanac is a valuable book of referenoe, however,, even if ouf representative's name it omitted Penonal, i ' We were pleased . toi lished in the interest of tha Whig can didates by Charles H. Mastin. The issue before us contaias nothing but cam paign matter, among which is an ac count of a banner raising at Tranter's Creek, on which occasion Henry I Toole, Esq., who was a Democratic elector in the district in 1844, made a speech in which he declared Taylor and Fillmore to be sound on the slavery question. He was followed by A. J Warren and James Joiner, who made great speeches. It is announced, under the head of "Election News" that "Johnson, Whig, . - , ., . . itnesame, aDouc s:u voces," ana mat rora, Whig, is elected Governor of Ohio by a very small majority, from 100 to 200," and that "both these States are certain for Gen. Taylor." There is also in this same issue of "Rough and Ready" a parody on the quarrell of Brutas and Cassius, the scene being laid in Tammany Hall where enter Lewis Cass and Martin Van Buren, but it is bo faded that it is hardly readable. from what we can glean from this sheet there must have been some as hot campaigning in those days as we have now. City Council Proceedings. New Berne, N. C, Deo. 8d, 1884. The Board met in regular session this evening, Mayor Meadows in the chair. All the members present. The Mayor stated that the Trustees of of the New Berne Academy were willing to lease to the city the property now used by the New Berne Engine Com pany, for the term of two years at ten dollars per month. The Building Committee reported having granted permission to Met-sre. Moore & Brady to enlarge their canning factory. Mr. J. W. Stewart made complaint against certain persons hiring out horses without paying the Livery License Tax R 'fwrred to Tax Collector. A committee from the Atlantic Fire Engine Company appeared and asked the Board to purchase a hose carriage for their company, stating that the one now used was worn out and of no ser vice, and that the Siisby Company would sell one to tho city on two years time at six per cent interest. On mo tion, the matter was referred to the Fire Department Committee with power t act, after communicating with the Button and other Fire Engine Compa nies and getting their best terms, by the following vote: Ayes, Gates, Hackburn, Wood, Street, Simpson, Crawford and Styron,(7); Noes, Gray, (1). Col. J. D. Whitford, Prasidont of the A. & N. C. Railroad, appeared and after showing his plans, in regard to placing the track down South Front street. made some remarks, showing that the road would materially benefit the city for a committee from the Board to look into the matter. On motion of Councilman Gates, a committee of three was appointed and Col. Whitford requested to have the track already laid taken up. The Mayor appointed Councilmen Gray, Wood and Crawford. On motion, the Mayor was added to the committee. A petition was read, from several citizens (property owners and residents) along the line of the proposed track, protesting against the city allowing the road to be continued. On motion of Councilman Gates the following resolution was passed: Kesoived, mat me committee ap pointed to meet with Col. Whitford be instructed to invite the property hohfers along the line of the proposed railway to meet witn them in conference con cerning this matter. Mr. Geo. Allen notified the Board that the interest on the judgment debt was due, and wanted to know if any ar rangements had been made for meeting LITERARY UOSSIP. Special Term of Superior Court, Upon suggestion of the Hon. C. C. Clark, a meeting of the Bar was called at 12 o'clock to take steps as to a contin uance of the cases upon the civil issue docket. After adjournment of the court the Bar assembled and the meet ing organized by an election of George Green, Esq., chairman and O. H. Guion secretary.

Vol. I, 12mo, cloth, $1.25. Harper & Bro thers. . Thackeray's lectures on "Tho Four Georges," like the half-dozen natives on the shell before dinner, whetted the lit erary appetite for the history of this im portant period, which is fully satisfied by the feast' of good things to be laid be fore the reader by the author of "A His tory of Our OwnTimes,"the first course of which is given in this volume of about three hundred pages, which cov ers the whole reign of George the First and enters on the beginuing of that of George the Second. This period is a most important one in the history of constitutional government; it was the turning point between the rule of the king and that of the people under mon archical forms. Mr. McCarthy tells the story of constitutional liberty and shows how it steadily broadened, from prece dent to precedent, in spite of the mmy efforts to arrest its course, by kings anu their ministers. The work will be completed in four volumes, of which the tirst only is as yet published. The author is so well known that comments on the interest ing manner in which he tell his story would be superflous; it is sufficient in say, as the editor of Harper s Weekly does, that he has realized Mucaulny'i wish and given us "a history which dis putes with the last novel the interest of the reader." Memoirs of a Man of the World, Fifty Years of London Life. By hd mond Yates, author of "Black Sheep." etc. With portrait; lismo, cloth, $1.70, Harper & Brothers, New York. ibis is a book of unmitigated gossip, not scandal, but simon pure gossip,- gome of it very amusing and some of it rather tiresome, but none of it likely to wound the persons gossiped about. Mr Yates, like Trollope, was a post-office official, a literary man and a lecturer, and gives us reminiscences and anec dotes of fifty years of his life in its dif ferent phases. His father and mother were both professional actors, and the early years of his life were spent in in timate association with the stall of the Adelphi theatre, as seen in his mother's parlor, for he was never allowed to visit the theatre, though his father's house was a part of the Adelphi, communicat ing with .the theatre by a door ia the en trance hall. The pen sketches of the celebrities with which he came in con tact are the best parts of the book; its greatest defect is its length: compressed into one-half its size it would be greatly improved. Some Literary Recollections. By James Payn, author of "A Beggar on Horseback." With steel portrait; lZmo, cloth, Sl.uu. Harper & Bro thers, New York. This is a charming book, and as much too short as Mr. Yates' is too long. It is, what it claims by its title to be, only some recollections, not an autobiog raphy, and these recollections are prin cipally of literary persons. Miss Mitford and Miss Martineau seem to divide the affection of the author, both adopted him into their hearts, and ho seems to have had the freedom of Miss Marti neau's house, and tells many anecdotes of her, some quite characteristic ones, for instance, of her being so pleased with the kindness of an aurist, which she consulted for hearing, that she re solved to leave him her ears in her will. She announced this intention in the presence of Mr. bhepberd (her physi cian), who, to my infinite amazement, observed, 'But, my dear madam, you Important to Parents and Others, The Orphan' Home. We have had a great improvement in the health of our children by the use of Swift's Specific. We had among the children some who had scrofula nota bly one case in which it was unmistakably hereditary. We got tome of Swift's Specific and gave it to this case, and in a short while it was cured sound and well. It was w bad a case, I think, as I ever saw, and had been under excellent physician with no permanent relief. We had been giving it to all the children as a health tonic. We have four children and one seamstress, who for years have suffered intensely every spring with erysipelas, and though they had been taking Swift's Specific only in small doses as a health tonic, they all, with out exception, passed through this spring without a touch of the complaint. A young lady of the institution, who has been with us for years, has been troubled with a most aggravated rash ever since she was a child. She tried nil the known remedies that aie pre scribed for it with no benefit; but she bus been cured by taking Swift's Spe cific, aud has no return of the trouble. It is such an excellent tonic, and keeps the blood se pure, that the system is less liable to contract disease. All of the teachers and children who are old enough to know, agreo with me in be lieving it is the greatest medicine known. My faith in it is unbounded, und I and my assistants take great pleasure in recommending it to every one. I can at all times be found at the Home, and will take pleasure in seeing or corresponding with any one who is interested in the remedy. KF.V. Li. U. PAINE, Orphans' Home, Macon, Ga.
