If you have not already.be sure to se- , oure you a ticket to the entertainment ' tonight. The steamer Shlnaadoah took out about 3,580 boxes of peas, be sides other vegetables. - In the sixth paragraph, first column of editorial page and last line, read vin dicating one's honor instead of "indi cating." Pork is now down to ten dollars per ; barrel Surely farmers who have to buy. this article . ought to be satisfied with the priee. In order that the members of the M.E. Church Working Society may have an opportunity of attending the musical concert to be given by Miss Fannie Hol land, they have postponed their meet ing tonight. The old board of city council held tteir last monthly meeting last night. They have managed the city affairs very creditably daring the ast year. They Jiav? carried out one feature that should commend itself to all future boards, and that is paying cash as they go. We trust the incoming board, and we doubt not that it will, will give as general satisfaction as the outgoing. The oyster season is over and Messrs. Moore & Brady are now running on peas. Retween three and four hundred hands, women and children, were en gaged in shelling yesterday. Such in dustries not only give employment to the idle and needy but make a market for the surplus peas of our truckers. Many farmers find that they can engage peas to this firm at paying prices, which is better, take it all and all, than taking the risk of getting fancy prices by ship ping. Present Your CUlin.. The city treasurer, J. W. Moore, re quests all persons holding city vouchers issued by the present board to present them for payment by 12 o'clock Friday -, and they will be cashed. Errata. ' The vote in the Second Ward was re ported incorrectly in yesterday's issue. The vote stands thus: W. B, Boyd, 'l; J. V. Williams, 8;F. B. Pool, 1; F. W. Hancock, 63; ' v We cheerfully correct the error, slight as it was, and also remark that the vote at the primary meeting of the Democrats ' in that ward was much larger than at the polls. How is that? X Tfee Theatre To.-Nlght; The musical concert at the theatre tonight is for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. It has been gotten tip by Miss Fan nie Holland, and she has worked earn estly to make it a success, and we have no doubt but it .will be, for every body must like' good music. Tickets are for Bile at Meadows' drug store, where they 0 in be reserved this morning after S o'clock.'1 ' 1 Vx An Oyster 3?mlr. - "V -1 1 Dr. Mann , of. Beaufort, , was in the city yesterday on his way from Hyde county. 'He makes the very practical , and timely suggestion that an oyster fair be held at New Berne sometime next winter, say ' in February.' The survey of our Bounds by Lieut. Winslow and the general interest now manifested ; in oyster . culture makes this of more , than ordinary interest to our people. ' It , is a thing that we can have without a great outlay of money, and New Berne being now the center of the Oyster in dustry is the proper place and we know our people will not .hesitate to incur whatever expense it may require to give - an exhibition ot. the oysters, and fish ' too, of our sounds and rivers.' Such an exhibition- would give an Impetus to ' oyster culture that, would be bound to prove beneficial to the coast region, Will not the Beaufort -Record, the - Pamlico Enterprise, the Economist , the Falcon, the Carolinianythe Progress and Gazette help us at the proper time work np this Fair? ; PersensL -, Mr. Frank Myer, with Mrs. Myer and their little daughter, left yesterday on the' Shenandoali for their home in Norfolk. Mr. Myer has been one of the principal cotton buyers in this mar ket for several years, and his departure in spring is always looked to with re gret by hiB many friends here, and their early return in the fall is hoped for. Mrs. Oloyer and children left on the Shenandoah yesterday for a visit North. Miss Hattie Coleman of Kinston is in the city on her return from a visit to friends in Hyde county. Dr. C. E. Mann of Beaufort was in the city yesterday on his way from Hyde county. He says times are dull in Hyde but not hard. No such thing as hard times down there. The farmers are cheerful and are pushing their work. Mr. Oeret Vyne of Havelock was up yesterday with 188 boxes of peas which he sold to Messrs. Moore & Brady for canning. Mr. T. Fletcher Hargis, representing ths grocery house of Wm. M. Powell & Co. of Baltimore, is in the city. Mr. Walter Corstarpen and lady took passage on the Shenandoah yesterday. Commliiloner Proceeding!, The county commissioners were in session on Monday and Tuesday. In response to an application of the physicians of this city permission was granted to the Medical Association of North Carolina to hold their convention in the court room of the court house on the 19th, 20th and 21st of May. The question of revoking the license of J. J. Westbrook to sell liquor at Brownville came up. A strong petition asking that the license be revoked was presented by Hon. C. C. Clark, coun sel for the petitioners. Mr. Westbrook was represented by L. J, Mooro, Esq. After argument by counsel the board decided, upon the advice of their attor ney, that having granted license they had no power to revoke them ;tbat if Mr. Westbrook kept a disorderly house as reported, it was a matter for the grand jury. A petition was presented from No. 1 township asking the board to order an election on the 1st Monday in June on the question of prohibition, in accordance with the Code. Upon examination it waj found that the petition did not have the requisite number of voters, and the clerk was in structed to notify them of this fact. The petition lacked 33 names. A petition was filed asking that the order discontinuing the public road leading from Lane's chapel to Carmach ford, be rescinded. The Deatb of William Whitford. Mr. Whitford was a native of New Berne, son of Col. J. D. Whitford and bad attained the age of 33 years. He was a graduate of the University of Virginia and studied law in the office and under the direction of . Hon. C. C. Clark of this city. He was admitted to the bar and entered upon the practice of his chosen profession with some promise of success, but being of a restive temperament the duties of the counsel lor and attorney did not seem congenial to bis disposition and he devoted much of his time to occupations in which his generous nature and genial temper could be more pleasantly employed. He at one time organized and commanded the New Berne Grays a volunteer military company composed of the youths of the city and under his efficient command it became quite noted among the volunteer companies of the State. Later he espoused the cause of life in surance and devoted his time mainly to the prosecution of that business. Quite early in manhood he was mar ried to the only daughter of the late Geo. S. Stevenson, and to them was born four interesting children, who, with their widowed mother, are left to mourn an irreparable loss. ' The, deceased was of- bright intellect and' pcBisessed of characteristics calcu lated to make friends at first acquaint ance end hold them fastly as time wore on." :ty- .' .' .-' ' His death is mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends, and a number of others who esteemed bim for bis many valuable qualities and are sadden ed at his sudden and unexpected death. GOSCHBU'S REVOLUTION ABY SPEECH. '' Edihbuhqh. May 1. Right Hon. Geo. Joachim Goschen, ' Liberal M. P. for Edinburgh, East spea kins' at a large meeting held at Paisley today, asserted that Mr. Gladstone's Home Rule bill would never obtain royal assent. . Oar Firm Bellefc..' . Atlanta, June 13, 1884. -"' It is our firm belief that B. B. B. is the best Blood Purifier on the market. We are sellins four or five bottles of it to one of any other preparation of the kind.

The new board of councilmen met at the city hall last night and completed their organization as follows; The elected members were sworn in and the board called to order by Coun cilman Williams. ' Thos. Daniels was put in nomination by the member from the ' 1st ward as an associate, and P. M. Draney was nominated by the member from the 5th ward. Mr. Daniels was duly elected. Mr. A. Miller was ohosen as associate by the 2d and 8d wards. The 2d and 4th wards put in nomina tion Messrs. W. B. Boyd and P. M Draney. The chairman gave the cast' ing vote for Mr. Draney and deolared him elected. The associates were eworn in and the following officers were elected: Port physician, Dr. F. W. Hughes; city mar shal, J. M. Hargett; policemen, Messrs, J. W. Bowden, B. F. Ketchum, and Geo. Broadstreet ; sexton of Cedar Grove Cemetery, W. N. Russ; sexton of Greenwood Cemetery, R. Williams; city treasurer, Thos. Daniels; city tax collector, R. D. Hancock; Mayor, E. H. Meadows. A committee was appointed to wait on Mr. Meadows and inform him of his election. He afterwards appeared and accepted the honor and took the oath of office. Simmons & Manly were elected at torneys for the ensuing year. Councilman Moore tendered bis resig nation. The board adjourned to 10 o'clock this morning. V. n. C. A. Reading Room. The new books for the Y. M. C. A library have arrived. The library now contains 171 volumes, consisting of ref erence books, religious literature, standard works of prose, poetry and fic tion, all bound in durable and attractive style. Specially good are the editions of Scott, Thackeray, Bulwer, Dickens, Cooper and Eliot. A handsome Bible also has been bought for the table in tbe assembly hall. The reading room presents many at tractions, also, in the number and va riety of its periodicals and papers. The room will be open every day from 10 o'clock to 7 p.m., except Sunday, for the entertainment of the people of the city, and all are cordially invited to come. The library and reading room are open at night especially for the beneht of young men whose business prevents their coming during the day. Congressional Work. Senate. May 1. Senate not in ses sion. House. Mr. Findlay, of Maryland, from the Committee on Civil Service Reform, submitted a report on tbe reso lution offered by Air Taulbee, of Ken tucky, directing the Secretary of the Treasury to inform the House by what authority the practice of permitting employees in his department to appoint substitutes is allowed. The committee in its report says that it can see no reason for questioning tho good faith of the statement made by the aoting Secretary of the Treasury, that substitution is al lowed when permanent employees are absent on account of sickness, accepting this as a valid reason for the temporary appointment of substitutes. The com mittee asks to be discharged from further consideration of the subject. Mr. Taulbee moved the resolution be adopted. He thought the statement of the Acting Secretary could not be con strued so as to mean that substitutes were appointed only when permanent employees were absent on account of sicknes. Such statement, to his per sonal knowledge, would be unwarrant ed. The practice was abuse of publio power, and abuse of the civil service law. That law was a piece of hypoc risy; it had been conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. It had been conceived in the mind of Mr. Eaton, who had afterwards made more money out of it than any other man. : A cat s paw had been made out of Senator Pen dleton, from whom, previous to hiB con nection with this law, be (Taulbee) had the greatest admiration,, but who, through this connection with that ob noxious law, had been relegated to that, obscurity in which no man would envy him. ' But while it was a bad law the government was committed to it, and while it could not be repealed it should be respected and lived up to. Mr. rindiay advocated rejection ot the resolution, not that he was in favor of indiscriminate substitutes, but be cause he could conceive of instances when a. refusal to permit a permanent employee in time of sickness to employ a substitute would work great hardship. Speaking generally on the civil service law he favored its enforcements, both in letter and spirit. He would like to see every rogueturned out of office, and he would like to see the Administration put its strong heel on the neck of some men instead of elevating them to high places. - He moved to lay the resolution on the table. . . ' y - -. The vote upon this motion was so close that some excitement and interest was manifested the clerk proceeded to call tbe roll, and at the conclusion ot the call several changes were made thus reversing the result a number of times. As finally announced the vote stood yeas 114. nays lid. So tbe resolution was tabled. .- - - .;. i..... After reports had been made from several committees the floor was ao corded to the Committee on Territories and several bills passed of local interest The House then at 5:35 adjourned. La Grange Items - We saw some of Our farmers taking out cotton hoes last Monday, which in dicates that cotton chopping is ac hand. The long dry spell was broken up by copious and long continued rain last week. No one can complain that it is too dry to plant cotton now. . Church services at the Primitive Bap tist church last Saturday and Sunday Rev. Mr. -Green wood, of Wilson, the pas tor, was assisted by several visiting ministers. Col. Davis has organized a band of music, much needed in connection with bis school. The players are making good progress, and will soon be able to make their own music. The town election is over and the country is safe. The following are elected: E. W. Bizzejl, D. C. Murchi son, C. P. Barrow, H.M. McDonald and Simeon Wooten, all Democrats. The protracted meeting at the M. E Church in this place closed last Thurs day with eight additions in all. Tbe preaching was very good throughout, and nopeiasting good was accom pliihed. Rev. A. R. Morgan, principal of the L. C. I., preached at Hickory Grove last bunday, hlliner the appointment of Key. W. E. Swain, the pastor, who is on a short visit to relations m the eastern part of our State. The grand opening and display of mil linery goods at Sim. WOoten s came oil last Monday. The department is in onarge of Miss Jessie Webb, of Haiti more who is in every way oompetent to make things look pretty. We were glad to meet our friend J. Y. Joyner1, Esq., of Goldsboro, in our town last Monday. Mr. Joyner was so closely and so long identified with our place that it is difficult to realize that he is not still one of us. We occasionally meet with the talent ed and pleasing itemizer of the Mes senger, whose items are read with so much interest by our people. By the way we suspect that the verses published in the JOURNAL from this place a short time ago, was trom the pen of this . D. M, Stanton, Joe Kinsey and D. C. Murchison made shipments of peas last Friday, the first of the season. The trucking business is not claiming as much attention about here this year as it did last, the ruinous prices, or no price at all, of potatoes last year, we suppose, being the cause. Col. Davis has purchased the piece of ground on. which the old gin house of Sutton anp Walters stood. The hduee is being taken down and gin fixtures, engine, etc., removed. This pulling down and removal is timely and Bene ficial, doing away with a first-class fire. We saw tbe old house at one time when we thought a fifteen cents insurance would haye been too much riBk. Stonewall Items. Cotton is coming up slowly ; . the weather is too eold for it. , J. B. Quick closed his saloon last Fri day. He says selling John Rarley Corn does not pay. So mote it be. MiBses Shiney and Mattie Oliver, who haye been on a visit to their uncle, Dr. Attmorev for a few days,- returned to your city today, 4th. From appear ances they have had an agreeable time. I can speak for their friends and assure them that their visit has been quite agreeable and highly appreciated; and from other observations I should guess if I were allowed, that a widower of this place will be wending his way to Broad street ere long. The election in our place yesterday was as quiet as possible; and the regu lar nominated ticket elected without opposition. John W. Brabble, mayor; C. H. Fowler, Dr.'G. S. Attmore and S. W. Ferebee, were the ticket. At Bay boro it was not so quiet. The old ticket - headed by W. E. Hooker, was renominated and did not give satisfaction. Another ticket head ed by Jas. T. Lincoln, for mayor, was nominated and elected. Both were Democratic. Moat Excellent. J. J. Adams. Chief of Police, Knox- ville, Tenn., writes: "My family and I are beneficiaries of your most excellent medicine, lit. King s New Discovery for consumption; having found it to be all, that you can claim for it, desire to tes tify to its virtue. My friends to whom I have recommended it, -praise it at every opportunity." Dr. King's New Discovery for con sumption is guaranteed to cure coughs, colds, bronchitis",' asthma, croup, ana every affection of throat, chest and lungs.

The govern ment steamer Lansdowne arrived at St. Andrews, in the Bay of Fundy, yester day evening, and ordered off four Amer ican fishing schooners which had put in for bait. . The Department Of Marine and Fish eries has secured the schooners Critic, Terror, Houlett, Conrad and General Middleton for the fisheries protection service. These vessels will be put in commission with the least possible de lay, -i; . - An OlA Citizen Speaks. Mr. J. M. Norris, an old resident of Rome, Ga., says, that he had been badly troubled with kidney complaint for a great many years and with eczema for three years; at times could .scarcely walk, and: had tried mny Remedies without benefit, until he began taking Electric Bitters and anointing his hands ana leet with. Bucklea's Arnica Salve. This treatment afforded him great relief and he strongly .'recommends Electric Bitters to all who. suffer with; kidney complaints, or need a blood ponder. ooid oy Hancock Bros, i Chattel mortgages and Lien Bonds for tale at this office, v BRIEFS. John L. Sullivan is about the only man who makes strikes pay. Prospects of the strawberry yield at Norfolk are said to be better than for years. There are 111 young men's christian associations in the State of New York with 21,500 members. Sir John Lubbock's celebrated list of tbe hundred best books begins with the Bible and ends with Scott's works. Considering everything each Indian in the United States costs our govern ment $3,000, estimating that population at 260,000. The English fear there is considerable trouble ahead for them in Burmah and that their forces will have to be con siderably increased there. Washington society has been thrown into a flutter of excitement over the brilliant address of Chaplain Milburn on uoetn before a fashionable and select audience. Cremation seems to be growing throughout the country. Some of its most ardent advocates are physicians, and they seem willing to take their own medicine. The new crematory at Buffalo, N. Y., has been dedicated by tbe incineration of tbe remains of Dr. Benjamin Rudolph Eggeman, a very prominent physician of that city. The Cashier of the German Bank of Baltimore, August Weber, Esq., says: Having used Salyation Oil for sometime I find it a sure cure for headache, Bprains, neuralgia, etc., and take great pleasure in recommending it.
