Keor's G..1. - 1 ITort for the Beacon, Light and Buoys. On our editorial page will be found an article from Maj. W. A. Hearne, on the condition of lights, beacons and buoys in North Carolina waters He treats the subject with remarkable clearness; points out many needed im provements and asks the people to de mand of their representatives in Con gress the consideration they are entitled to in providing for coast and inland water navigation. In speiking of the needs of stakes and buoys in Core sound he seemingly charges neglect upon the buoy tender in this district. The tender was in this port last week and the Cap tain informed us that he was going to Washington in a few days and take in fitments for Core sound and Beaufort harnor and that he would remain in the North Carolina waters until all neces sary work was complete. We agree fully with the Major that this section of North Carolina has not had its share of the public benefits. He says it is because our people and repre sentatives have not demanded it. Whether this be ' the cause or not we know the fact that towns of much less population and of far less commercial importance than New Berne have had government buildings erected. We have here a custom house, district court and a postoffice which is the distribut ing point for several adjoining counties, aud yet the government has no building here nor do we suppose it ever will until the district can be represented on the popular side of the House of Represen tatives. Why Don't They Publish? Editor Journal: I see in your paper oi the autn instant that the Commission ers of Onslow are going to have pub lished what they are doing monthly, as Jones county has been doing, but I can't see why they should have their pro ceedings published any more than the Craven county Commissioners. Neither do I-sse why the county and town tress urers of other counties should publish what they have been doing with the people's effects when Craven does not; neither does the city treasurer; nor have they 'for lol these many years. Therefore I think the Legislature should make a law to compel the officers of Craven to be sworn to obey the law be fore they could be installed as acting officers. Then we would have a differ ent state of affairs in old Craven, and would change her from a monarchy to a repuDiio again. joo. Our correspondent is perhaps not aware of the fact that the commissioners of Onslow and Jones counties pay us a small sum to publish their proceedings, Now if the commissioners of Craven county were to appropriate a small sum for the purpose of having their proceed ings published monthly, would he not be among the very first to grumble about it t The Legislature ought to pass an act compelling county commissioners to publish their proceedings monthly where there is a newspaper in the county, fixing a reasonable compensa tion for the printer. But we believe it is already done in almost every county where there is a paper except Craven The Counterfeiters. At the office of Commissioner Gard ner. yesterday, wo were shown a quan tity of the- spurious coin found in the possession of Ben Allen and his alleged accomplice, Louisa Allen, together with the moulds used by the counterfeiters in turning out the various denomina tions oi coin. The moulds are mere blocks of plaster of pans, with the neces sary indentation in the centre, into which the hot composition is poured when an upper block, with its appro priate impression, is added, and the two form the exact counterpart of .the coin to be counterfeited. We were shown the spoon used in tranferring the liquid metal from the vessel in which it is heated to the various moulds. The handle is lengthened out, so as to pro tect tne noiaer trom tne intense heat, by a thin piece of twisted iron. After the coin is moulded powder is flashed over it, which gives it a dark Color, and then it is wiped off with a chamois skin which takes away the bright, new ap pearance ana leaves it with a semblance of having been in use for sometime. hie is used to do away with whatever unevenness or roughness may neces sarily occur in the process of moulding, The material is in short bars, evidently prepared with a view to the use which is made or it. ,: The parties were seemingly in a po sition to carry on an extensive business, and it appears that they were inclined to make the best use of their time and op portunity. The colored festivals are said to have Buffered quite seriously from tne imposition of the bogus com and the store-keepers and bar-keepers have nearly all been "stuck" to a greater or less extent. Some of it was even imposed on the tax collectors, as shrewd as they are. One store-keeper gave five-dollar greenback in exchange for its equivalent in coin, which he thought genuine at the time, but afterwards dis covered to be spurious. Detective Carr deserves great credit for his success in working up the case and tne nnai capture of tne counter feiter and his accomplice, together with the tools; material, bogus coin, etc. Allen is about 40 years of acre, ap parently, is a mulatto, and in stature is five feet six inches b'frh. ling some' V.

Robert was a good boy and liked by all his associates. He was twenty years of age, and lived with his mother, brothers and sisters near Duck Creek in this county. Talk about your big nsh and but coons, but Isaao Hewett, better known as Swamp Sam, caught the largest red drum nsh this week that we ever saw or heard of. The fish was six feet long and weighed nearly 100 pounds. Ike said he thought he had a whale for once, The fish got tangled in his net and was killed after a struggle by Ike with a crowbar. ... r Capt. Heady caught the largest coon I ever saw; it measured 4 feet 4 inches from head to tail end, and 8 quarts of oil were taken from the beast. But this is not a circumstance to Ned. Farnell 'possom. Ned says Durant Morton and bzekiel Morton, two farmers, killed regular genuine JN. U. 'pessom that weighed 45 pounds, full weight, and fat in proportion, and we reckon it is so, for Ned is a man of truth. The people around are finishing kill ing their hogs. Capt. Loughlin has just killed some very fat ones, and they are good too, because we tried them. Bertie Loughlin, son of the Captain, received his birthday dinner last Tuesday, and we were tnere, ana tne turtey was splendid, and things didn't look like hard times, though times are pretty hard with us at present. Bertie was awfully surprised when he lifted his plate and found a gold dollar under it, Couldn't tell where it came from. Rev.

'Cor. of the News A Otxerver. i Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 19. I see your correspondent F., from Sutton, Franklin county, asking for in formation in regard to the use of tne Furman formula on corn, cotton and tobacco. Having had some experience with the manure, and long experience in lurming, I take the liberty of differ ing with you in your reply. Mr. Fur man's syBtem was entirely broadcasting, and double the dose every year for all crops, but for "F" we would recom mend broadcasting for cotton and in the drill for corn, for the first year at least. After that, if he plants the same land in corn and doubles the amount of ma nure, to broadcast for all crops except for tobaoco. Dont use kaihit in any of its forms on that crop, if he wishes to make a fine, smooth, evenly-colored yellow tobacco, as kainit will cause it to spot and. cure red and yellow; bat use some good special fertilizer for that crop.
