' W. H. OWENr Druceist. - Sold In New Berne by R. N. Duffy ana u. Meadows. The Superior Court. Court convened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The grand jury was drawn and Mr. W. H. Cobb appointed foreman. His Honor's charge was brief, but to the point, and such as the jurors could readily understand. When they retired the petit jury was called and work begun. Before time to adjourn fordi-rer r,r,e case was given to the jury and a uihu called, but the witnesoes being o. m.t an attorney stating that it was uu6ual to try any cases before dinner on the 1st day His Honor adjourned to 2 o'clock. The following cases were disposed of: State vs. A. A. Caton; injury to live stock; guilty. State vs. Edgar W. Humphrey; false pretense; not guilty.

State vs. Richard Bryant, A. & B., pleads guilty. State vs. John Mayo, A. & B., called and failed, capias instanter. The docket was called for motions in cases involving costs and sci fan and court took a recess to 9 o'clock this morning. Punctuality In Court. Tire old time punctuality required of suitors, witnesses and defendants in at tending the Superior Courts is fast play ing out, especially in Craven county. We see evidences of it at every term of the court and we belieye it gets worse at every term. Judge Shepard could dispose of the criminal docket of Craven county in one-half the time if all parties concerned Were on hand when their cases are called. Numbers of cases were called yesterday in which the de fendant, -witnesses and sometimes the attorneys were absent and they had to be passed over. Solicitor Collins begun yesterday evening to enforce a rigid rule to have those defendants whom he knew to live in the city brought up upon an instanter capias after being called and failed to answer. The first case we think was that of John Mayo, col., a man who hardly has sense enongh to know what court is in session for, and the Solicitor was making good headway with the rule until he reached a defendant of intelligence, one who certainly knew that his case was likely to be called at any time, and here he broke down'and instead of a capias inBtanter the case was allowed to go over until this morn ing. We offer the suggestion to the Solicitor that if he wants to make an example of some one for non-attendance, and en force punctuality, his victim, if be wants to give force to the example and make it of value, should be selected from the very best material offered. To make an example of such characters as John Mayo will have but little effect. Judge Shepard was willing and anx ious to do more work yesterday, but he could not for the reasons stated above. The fact of the business is many people have almost come to the conclusion that it is not worth while for them to attend court if they have a lawyer thereto look after their cases, no matter whether they are defendants, witnesses or prose cutors. Kinston Items. Mr. S. C. Dunn, of Davis' school,came home a few days ago, and has been quite sick but is improving. Drs. Gates and Wood ley of Lenoir county enter the medical field. Success to them; they deserve it. Arohbell baa added to his other ac commodations, a very complete ar rangement for fanning his boarders. Mrs. J. P.

We take pleasure in noting: the fact that Dr. Henry Tull was appointed a delegate to tne American Medical Association. Mr. Jarman Becton died suddenly at his house on Friday night. May 2ut. He retired in good health. During the night his wife discovered that some thing was wrong with him. She got up and struck a light, and be died only a low minutes alter. Among the large number of doctors who passed down on last Tuesday 18th, was one dissipated character. While a large number of them were taking sup per at Street's hotel, this one was hunt ing for something to drink. The train was not accommodating enough to wait for him and ha spent a day in Kinston much against his will. He tried to cure the blues by using the drunkard's rem edy whisky. IHlraculona Escape. W. W. Reed, druggist, of Winches ter, Ind., writes: "One of my custom ers, Mrs Louisa Pike, Bartonia, Ran dolph Co., Ind., was a long sufferer with Consumption, and was given up to die by her physicians. She heard of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, and began buying it of me. In six months' time she walked to this city, a distance of six miles, and is now so much improved she had quit using it. She feels she owes her life to it." Free trial bottles at Hancock Bro's. Drug Store. Auousta, Ga., May 21, 1886. Deak Journal: Travel is made doubly pleasant, when one meets with increasing numbers of friends and re news old associations. Such was my pleasant lot. First, from Kinston to Uoldsboro I enjoyed an antiquarian con versation about North Carolina affairs with Col. Saunders, our accomplished Secretary of State. He is doing a work of inestimable value in gathering all available material touching the history of our State from the earliest period of its settlement. Under the authority of our Legislature, he is now publishing the first two volumes. (lathering up members of the Presby terian General Assambly we steadily swept on through the night via Wil mington to Columbia, S. C, where we breakfasted on Wednesday, 19th inst. Between trains I had a delightful visit to SUPT. D. B. JOHKSON, who was the organizer of the New Berne Graded School. Prof. Johnson is now at the head of the Columbia System of Public Schools, white and colored, em bracing nearly 1500 scholars. As soon as possible I hope to send you a state ment of the plans here, which may help our system, COLUMBIA. This city was almost wholly burnt down during the war. The colored carriage driver, who drove me around, gave interesting incidents about that burning; for he, Anderson and his wife Phillis, were witnesses of much that oc curred. He pointed out the spot where one Federal soldier was shot as he was applying the torch; and said he knew that Gen. Sherman's men burned the whole city, except the bridge over which the Confederate troops passed, and a few buildings. But the city has risen wonderfully from its ruinB, and one only traces here and there the sad occurrence. The capitol bears the marks of cannon balls, but was not injured. It had not been completed, and the work is now progressing. Immense blocks of stone, like those for the pyramids, are lying around, in various stages of com pletion. When finished, this will be a magnificent structure, and worthy of a noble State. The city is a "forest city," amid its lines of trees, water-oaks, live-oaks, hackberry, elms, etc, that beautifully shade its streets by three rows frequent ly, one being in the center. Here are situated the Columbia ineo- logical Seminary of the Presbyterian Church, and the University of South Carolina, with about twelve professors and two hundred students. AUOUSTA, OA. This city has about 35,000 inhabitants. It is situated at the head of navigation on the Savannah river. Today the river is "booming:" away out of its banks and more tban thirty feet above its level by reason of great rains. Hamburgh, a village on the opposite bank, is sub merged, and great destruction prevails everywhere. The streets of Augusta near the riyer are under water and tne bridges are in danger. Great manufacturing enterprises are successfully conducted here, employing thousands of operatives, and here are six extensive cotton factories, making cotton sheetings and cloths and yarns: and three or four wool factories. A canal taps the river about seyen miles above the oity, ana brings in water lor supplying the city reservoir, aa weu as for water power. Two of the streets. Broad, on which I have my hospitable home, and Greene, are the most mag nificently shaded streets I ever saw, There are four rows of trees running through them, and the two central ones make a splendid walk between them, as well as the two sidewalks. On Greene are two monuments; one a plain granite shaft. 40 feet high to Georgia's three signers of the Declaration of Independ ence: the other was erectea to tne ixra- federate dead from two counties. Their names are cut in the marble: I suppose there are 400. Another handsome marble Bhaft some 75 feet high, with a soldier on the top; and on the base are life-size statues of Generals Lee,-Jackson, Cobb and Walker. Its ornamenta tion is in nne style. I thought I would write you a sketch of Augusta, and things in general; bat l must pause here. QKNKEAL ASSEMBLY. - " This highest ecclesiastical court of the Southern Church convened in the First Presbyterian Church here yesterday. It was opened, with a sermon by Kev. it. R. Raymond, D. D., of Texas The ser mon was an appropriate one to the occa- , sion , and rerious business ' that will come before the Assembly. The roll was then read; but a large number- forty or more of the members were detained in Charlotte, N. C. by breaks in the railroad. There are today about lou members present. Rev.TJ. H. Bryson, D. D., of Huntsville, Ala., has bten elected Moderator. Rev. E. A. Ramsey of Tenn., and Rev. G. W. White, of Va., were chosen Clerks. Standing commit tees have been appointed, and the As sembly's Secretaries of the causes of &aucation. Publication. Home and Foreign Missions have made reports. So tne body is in the way now of proceed ing to real business. One of the most important committees, if not the most important committee in the body has been raised to take the whole Subject of Evolution in hand, as it comes to the Assembly by several overtures. Rev. G.D.Armstrong, D. D., of Norfolk, Va., -is the chairman. He is a very able man; was thirteen years the Professor of Physical Science in Washington and Lee University, and has just published an able book on the whole subject of the Relations of Science and Religion. I must go to my committee work now. More anon, L. C. Vass. Oh, might I kiss those eyes of fire, Ten thousand scarce would quench de sire; Still would I steep my lips in bliss, And dwell an age on every kiss. " That young dude needs something for his blood; he is utterly too fresh, B. B. B. is the best thing for him, because one bottle will cure him. But that dude is not all alone in his terrestrial glory not by a "jug full." Many others are considerably "rattled" just now about that blood poison business, but B. B. B. will cure for the least money, and in the shortest time. The boom is coming. Purify, Purify. Sold in New Berne by R. N. Duffy and E. H. Meadows. BRIEFS. Ex aldermen Jaehne's occupation at Sing Sing will be that of a laundry- man. Prince Alexander is making a tour of Bulgaria and meeting with ovations at all points. Dr. Dio Lewis, an author and reform er of much note, died at his home in Yonkers, N. Y., last Friday, of erysip elas. More firing has taken place between the Greeks and Turkish outposts. It was at long range and had but little effect. A bill has passed Congress for the es tablishment of two life-saving stations on the North Carolina coast; one at Oak Island and the other at Topsail inlet. The North Carolina Press Association meets at Morehead City this year, com mencing June 17th. A visit to Wash ington and Luray caves is in contempla tion. Hon. Kemp P. Battle, L. L. D., President ef the University of North Carolina, has been appointed by Cleve land as a member of the board of visi tors to West Point for the present year. The people of Johnston county are taking vigorous steps to raise funds for the erection of a monument to the memory of the Confederate dead, who perished at the battle of Bentonsville. Col. George I. Notwitzky, te cleyer, and indefatigable doctor of Indian tea fame, is one of the chief movers in the cause, and from the-Smithfield Herald, we see that a handsome sum has already been subscribed. Saved Hla Life. Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, Of Horse Cave, Ky., says he was, for many years, badly afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the pains were almost unendurable and would sometimes almost throw him into convulsions. He tried Electric Bitters and got relief from first bottle, and after taking six bottles was entirely cured and had gained in flesh eighteen pounds. Says he positively believes he would have died, had it not been for the relief afforded by Electric Bitters.
