His death is mourned by many good people throughout the whole State. None anew mm out to admire bis piety, Judge Cribs, Deceased, , . Communicated The death of Judge dibs, which sad event transpired on the 81st ult., after a lingering illness of that slow but cer tain malady, old age, throws a gloom over the entire canine community, and shadows the doorway of many human habitations. ' v Judge Cribs was the faithful watch dog of the late Sam'l Radcliff , and en joyed the highest esteem and confidence of his master. His devotion to duty was remarkable. Dividing his time between the mill and dwelling as circumstances might require, or his inclinations direct, he was ever on the watch. From an in stinctive sense of duty or from the ad vance of age he seemed to devote more of his time to the dwelling in later lite, np to the cold weather of the last few weeks, when he. took uo his abode al most entirely at the mill, where his last hours were whiled away in feeble efforts to discharge the duties ol nient-watcn as in his younger days. His remains were interred in the mill grounds over which he had so long stood a faithful guard. : The age of deceased is not correctly known, but was in the neighborhood of twenty years, which is a ripe one for the character of the animal he was. It will be gratifying to the humane to know that he never knew the pangs of intense hunger, and was snatched by death from a world of plenty, with a bone in his jnoutu, leaving an estate or a full day's rations unconsumed: ' The following lines are respectfully dedicated to his memory: Poor Judge Cribs is dead and gone, We ne'er shall see him more, He used to lay on the front door mat, Or on the naked floor. His watchful eye wo shall no more see, Nor warning bark shall hear; - ' That eye is calmly glazed in death, In ours the scalding tear. A better dog was never known!

Allusion was made last week to the fact that a thief had been caught in the act of stealing money from a drawer by means of a pistol placed underneath the drawer which was fired when the thief attempted to pull the drawer. The prisoner, who was a white man, gave bond for his appearance at this term of the cdnrt in the sum of $500, and was to have been tried on Wednesday, but on Tuesday night he jumped his bond and "skipped." Doubtless bis bondsmen stood bail for him with the purest of motives, but they nave inadvertently defeated tho ends of justice, which can but have a bad effect upon the com munity. A guilty bad man has escaped punishment. jm . : i Jones County Items. The spring term . of our Superior court will convene' on Monday, the 6th of April.

Died, near Swansboro, on Saturday, the 2l8t of March, Mrs. Susan C, Win- berry, wife of Stephen Winberry, in the 41st year of her age. Mrs. Winberry was borne and raised near Trenton, Jones county, and was the daughter of John otanly. She leaves a husband and four children, and one of them only four months old, one brother and a si ter, together with a large number of relatives and acquaintances in Jones, Onslow and Lenoir counties to Aourn their irreparable loss. The farmers, notwithstanding the cold,' backward ' spring, are planting corn in earnest, several of whom have planted their entire crop. I heard a farmer remark that the ground was too cold and wet to plant but says he "I am in bad luck; last fall he had one of hiB thighs broken, ; and not a great while before that, one of his ribs was dislo cated. One misfortune follows another. I have come to the conclusion, from reading the papers, that the business of farming and editing papers is kinder mixed, and would suggest that a change be made. The papers are incessantly telling the farmer what to plant and how. If I am a judge, the country needs no more corn, pork, cotton, peas or no tatoes, for if any one has either to buy surely they do not wish to get them for less than they can be had at the present timet, but tnose who take the papers think they could be had for a small amount leas, and that if the editors would look into the causes of why the papers were not on time more punctual, they would serve their farmer patrons more acceptibly than advise about what to plant, and for the following reasons: The lust Thursday's Daily Journal reached this office on Monday. 80th inst. , and Saturday's has not come yet; Sun days was on time Monday.

The reports of our three Evangelists in the Presbytery showed an advance, in the good work for Christ, and the need for more labor. Many plana for more efficient work were mapped out. Groups of churches were settled for the holding of Sabbath school oonvnetions, and stimulating zeal in this great ministry of the Church. The next meetibg of Presbytery will be at Hardflelds Church, in Alamance county, at 12, m., Wednesday before the 4th Sabbath in August, ioo. Presbytery adjourned Saturday night, 28th inst.' We had much good preach ing during the meeting. L. C. Yass. Rheumatism. Although a practitioner of near twenty years, my mother influenced me to pro cure B. B. B. for her. She had been confined !to her bed several months with Rheumatism which had stubbornly resisted all the usual remedies. Within twenty-four' hours after commencing B. B. B. I observed marked relief. She has just commenced her third bottle and is nearly as active as ever, and has been in the front yard with "rake in hand," cleaning up. - Her improvement is truly wonderful and immensely grat ifying.

Said he, "the moon will soon full and if I plant on the decrease of the moon my corn won't ear well." I told him that I never consulted about the increase or decrease of the moon but planted whenever I could get ready. "Yes," says he, "you just take notice this year, if you plant your corn on the decrease or tne- moon, ana you win surely find that your fodder crop , will be a large one, while your ears of corn will be very short and small. Rev. Israel Harding, an Episcopal minister of Kinston, held services at Trenton on Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday night. Attendance was large considering the inclemency of the weather. There were many of the con gregation who had never heard an Episcopal minister preach before. Mr. Harding is the first one. I suppose, who ever did preach hereI can recollect as attendant upon my duties, were grad a peculiar skin eruption on the face and one hand. I have tried seven or eight physicians, among them the best in California and in this prov ince, but to no purpose.' The child kept growing worse. Fortunately, I saw a statement in a Si. Paul, Minn., paper of a cuie ota disease similar to that of my child. It was affected by Swift's Spe cific. - I secured six bottles and com menced giving it to my little girl.

We sincerely hope that the reverend gentleman may find it convenient to visit and preach for us , often. I have often attended church and have seen several of the congregation in some localities chew tobacco and spit on the floor during ser vice. But I particularly noticed that not one of the congregation on Sunday took a chew of tobacco or spit upon the church floor during the service, which unmistakably proves the decency and respect which our church-going citizens of Trenton have for their house of worship.There is another little item which I took notice of, and that is how well behaved and how quiet the little boys and girls were during the services, which shows how . carefully their mothers have trained.them at. homo. ually developing into an utter prostra tion of my system.
