VVC , Rough Passage. The schooner Gertrude T. .Drowning, Capt. Jones, which arrived here last Saturday from Philadelphia, reports a rough passage. Capt. Jones says the 18th. 19th and 20th of March'was the roughest weather he has ever expe' rienced in his thirty years of sea-faring life. After boing blown across the Gulf Stream and on nearing the coast again, the vessel encountered another terrific gale from the N.N. W., which made her leak badly and was on her beams end for some time. The Captain was forced to keop her before the wind and sea to free her of water which had in creased three feet in the hold. She arrived here with two men sick and the Captain's feet and legs much swollen by salt water and exposure Her cargo of kainit was damaged very much; the damage to the vessel is very slight, , ' I n , Memorial Day. The Memorial Association of this city have completed arrangements for the observance of the Tenth of May. Capt. Hamilton C. Graham, of A1& bama, a native of New Berne, will dc liver the address. Tho asssociation haying adopted the plan of the Raleigh association will have the life and ser vices of Bomo North Carolina soldier selected for the subject in the future, On this occasion the distinguished son of our State, James Johnson Pettigrew, has been chosen for the subject and will in itself be of deep interest to all who appreciate genuine gallantry and unquestioned chivalry. , Rev. C. A. Jenkens will act as Chaplain, and Capt. E. M. Duguid as Chief Marshall. " The Association hopes to have the monument at the mausoleum completed by that day, and if so the additional services of unveiling and dedication will take place. .-. v. , '.' The treasury is in need of funds to oomplete the designs of the faithful band of ladies who have bo earnestly contended for the perpetuation cf the memories of our dead heroes, and it does seem that the present time just as the era of a complete reconciliation is dawning upon us would be a most fitting one for a generous public to come forward and place the needed amount at their command. passing away. The two most prominent names, Leb and Gbant, household words in their respective sections, and indeed in all the civilized world, will from present indications be both soon numbered with the great army which has passed over the river and are resting under the shade of the trees. The for mer has long ago been gathered to his fathers, and just now publio interest is intensely directed to the condition of the latter, as disease is environing the citadel of life and the final surrender seems to be near at hand. In the grave all fallacies cease and all distinctions are done away, and with them the blue nor the gray has any distinctive sig' nificance. But it is with us who still live that the great improvement of sen timent in reference to the struggle' of twenty years ago is of the most gratify ing character. . .

He has four laRge rooks running con tinually, grinding corn, wheat and mixed feed for stock. His facilities for handling the grain in the mill, both be fore and after it is ground, are modern and almost perfect. The corn is thrown into a hopper, passes , through a screan which takes.out all tho defective grains and the chaff, and finally comes out nice, white bolted meal.: About fifty yards from the mill hi a large warehouse for storing grain. Over thirty thous and bushelB can be stored here at one time. Boats can lav alongside and dis charge their cargoes, the grain being taken to the second and thir, floors by elevators, and when ready to be sacked can be drawn froth either floor into the sack on the lower floor.. The elevators are run by a small engine, which is sup plied with steam by means of a pipe which connects with the large engine and boiler in the mill, ;, Y, ,' ',-. ... ; The next improvement Mr. Meadows has in contemplation Is to provide a way for taking the corn from the ware house to the mill by steam without sacking, . and then his arrangements will be complete. The wharf at. the south end of this, fronting Trent river, has been covered, over and is used for storing fertilizers; it is capable of stor ing over two hundred tons. Vi: J-J- North of the mill is another large warehouse for,, storing hay, bran and other feed. Over sevenjiundred bales of fine timothy hay are how stored there. Feed in almost any shape or quantity can be obtained at this mill, and the meal and flour turned out here is of a superior quality. r1 Carry down your broken glass and crockery and have them cemented to gether by Dr. Scott.
