In tbe Dally and Weekly Jotjbnal of February 23d the following appear d under the bead of "Kinston Item:" A new firm, under the style of "Cook & Co., hailing from New Berne, have been doing business in a very novel way for aome davs at Mrs. F. B. Becton'n old stand. They keep closed doors ex cept when receiving er delivering goods ana spend most or their time at Hotel Tuli. It is reported that they are sell ing goods remarkably cheap. We would suggest to our merchants and oitizens that if you do not wish to he a witness in court it might be beet to buy your goods from other parties. The firm of Cook & Co , composed of W. W. Cook and J. E. Hudson, young men formerly of this city, became highly offended at this item and brought a criminal action against our correspon dent. H. C. Bowrn, a Kenlleman of un impeachable character and a minister of the Gospel, for libel. The warrant foe Mr. bonen'ti arrest was obtained from Justice Coleman upon the affidavit of J. E. lludfou, and a hearing was had before him, with Justices J. W. Grain ger and W. C. Fields us associates, last Wednesday. The plaintiffs were repre sented bj T. C. Wooten and A. T. Hill, Esqs., as counsel, and the defendant by N. J. Rouse, Esq , and Loftin & Roun tree.. The case excited considerable intetest and brought together a good number of the citizens of Kinston to bear tbe trial. As it is a nerious charge to Lring against the news- piper that aims to be useful and beneficial to the community in which it oirculates. we propose to give the sub stance of the evidence of the plaintiffs themselves and let the public judge whether or not they were libeled, and whether or not it was the duty of our correspondent to write and the duty of the Jouhnal to publish tbe item in question. Tbe first witness introduced by the plaintiffs was J. 11 Hudson. He testi fied to having heard Mr. Bowen say he wrote the item published in the Journal and that il he had followed his senti ments ho would have it much stronger. Upon cr,.ts examination he stated that he was a brother of J. E. Hudson and a oleik of tbe firm of Cook & Co.; that the firm was organized about a month Bgo; that tbey paid him $12 50 per month and expenses; that Cook & Oj. do a wholesale and retail business; that they haye no traveling salesman, no State, county or town license to sell; that they did busi ness with closed doors, and spent most most of their time at Hotel Tull; that they kept no books and he did no writ ing for their. He also gave the name of the other gentleman who constituted the firm of J. E. Hudson & Co., but as that gentleman positively denies having anything to do with said firm we for bear giving that part of the testimony as it is not necessary to the end we hav e in view in the article The plaintiffs rested their case here. The defendant had quite a number of witnesses called and had the plaintiffs themselves subpoened. S. W. Chad wick was put upon the land." He is an assistant agent of the A. & N.C. Rat the Kinston station, and was introduced for the purpose of show ing that good had been shipped to Kin ston for J. E. Hudson & Co . and re ceived by Cook & Co. Plaintiffs counoil objected to the question asked to bring out tbeee fact and a long argument fol lowed la wbioh Mr. T. C. Wooten, of counsel for plaintiffs, facetiously re marked that it was not a question of grace, but of regeneration; the defend ants, he said.have not been regenerated; they must be born again. Again, when Mr. Spencer was on the stand to testify as to purchasing good from plaintiffs, Mr. Wooten in endeavoring to establish the fact that Cook & Co. were wholesale dealers, asked If a firm that sold a whole coffee mill, one that would grind for a whole -county, was not a wholesale dealer. But our object now U to simply show what Cook & Ca say' of 'them selves, ao we go on to the next witness. --W.W.Cook, of the firm of Cook & Co. was sworn and introduced by defend ant. . He testified that he was twenty two-year old last February; that he was a member of the firm of Cook & Co.; that he had put W.000 in thlbosi neasj and J. E. Hudson had put la f 500; that he did hot list his tares last Jane, and had no property at that time except his trade; that he madi $1,000 sine last June' at the buggy bustness with his father: that he and 3. K. Hudson oraraa- Meed the firm Just before they1 left New Berne; that Hudson' Attended to order log goods and writing letter; and that they room together la No. 84 at IHotel Tall and he read novels while Hudson was writing letter He also testified that he spent most of hi time at Hotel Tull; that if any ob called at room Si and wasted gcols he went to the store sni told tbem and went back to his rocni;tVst be was doirjf ceiling acd ' c i t' i.-'rre't cf L's n:-nry, t- j I .t,. L. . A I A 1. .V tun, UO U1U UUI UUW W1V BWUCB VI UiB firms from which Mr. Hudson ordered goods. Mr. J. E. Hudson, member of the firm of Cook ft Co , was sworn and introduced by defendant. He testified to having been of the firm of J. E. Hudson ft Co. of New Berne; that he had ordered good from California Wine and Brandy Co. for the benefit of the firm to the amount of $37.60, .and that the bill was not paid and th firm had never been requested to pay it, and that they don't always pay when re quested ; that Cook & Co. had made an order on the same firm which was not filled; that J. E. Hudson & Co. ordered a buffalo robe and rug from C. O. Guntheis Sons of New York billed at m.&O and $30 00 reepectively , and that tbey were not paid for, Uunlbera Sons baying taken out claim and delirery fur same but were too late as be had disposed of tbe same, getting $10 00 for tbe rube and nearly tbe value of rug , that he bought a folding chair and book case of a firm in New York at $58.00 which be sold for about $35 00 not paying any thing to tbe New York Arm,-that he ordered goods from Garrett, Maston, Allen & Co. of Philadelphia, which be did not pay for. and that Cook & Co. had sent another order which was not tilled; that he ordered ink from Eureka Ink Co. to tbe amount of $24 0Q w hich was not paid and that Cook & Co. had ordered from the same house which was not filled; that the firm of J. E. Hudson & Co, had ordered crackers and ginger snaps of Larrabee & Co., sold tbem for ribs than cost and never paid for them; that they had bought a colfee mill prioe $56.25 which they had not paid for butapld for $25.00, didn't pay for it because they were "busted" and had no money ; that the firm of Cook & Co. had paid no bills due Northern firms; that he, Hudson got some meat from W. t. ttountree, did not borrow it nor sell it as his agent, sold it, got tbe money but never paid him for it; that Cook & Co. got lard and hams from Cassard of Baltimore which had been sold for less than cost but had not been paid for. There were several other bill enquired after which had not been paid, which taken with those already mentioned tended to show that there was danger of those buying goods from this firm to become witnesses in court. Upon cross examination by plaintiffs oounsel Mr. Hudson stated that they had never made any false representation in purchasing goods and that they intended to pay for what they had bought. After hearing this and other testimony the oourt, very properly we think, dis charged the defendant and taxed the plaintiffs with the ooet. Now we leave it with the public to say if Cook & Co. are not, according: to their own testimony, doing business in a novel way, with closed doors, spend most of their time at Hotel Tull, selling goods remarkably cheap and if persons who buy from them are not likely to become witnesses in oourt. Well, but, says one, what if they were doing busi ness in that way, the Journal corres pondent had nothing to do with it; it did not interfere with him. Ah, but what is a newspapers' business besides giving the news but to expos acd con demn a business that is damaging to the credit and legitimate business interest of the community whioh sustain and support aald paper? One man may murder another and not hurt the editor or reporter of a newspaper, but who would support a newspaper that would not publish and oondemn such an out rage against law and order ? Such buBines as Cook & Co. are doing, ao oording to their ovn testimony, is dam aging to the legitimate trade of any town or city, and we are pleased to know that the good people of Kinston sustain our correspondent in what he wrote and thay are determined to set the seal of their condemnation upon any such business a Cook & Co. aren gaged In.

Last Wednesday evening the ollij of the Evening Union, KuriiiKlield, Mass., was burned. It is reported that the blaze was attended with the moet sick enlng horror ever witnessed ill that city, six of the employees in the oflloe meeting a terrible death, most of tbem jumping from the fifth story and being crushed into a Bhapeless muss below. The lire was lfrst discovered in the mailing room, and before tbe fifty souls on the upper Moors knew of their danger tbe stairway was ablaze, the elevator was burned and all means of escape cut otr, except by way of the roof of a building in tbe rear, by which way most of thoee saved escaped. Some of the employees rushed to tho editorial room, being cut olf from escape in the rear, and had to face tbe horrible al ternative of burning to death or jump ing to the sidewalk below. A ladder was put to the fourth story, and the sight Of rescue so near seemed to mad den the suffering group at the two win dows in the story above, who dropped in suocesBion to the sidewalk below. Six fell in this way. It is thought others fell back into the flames. The Charlotte Chronicle say a: A re markable accident occurred at Wads worth's stables, yeaterday afternoon, by which one of the fine black horses belonging to the Central omnibus was shockingly injured. The four horses were bitched to tbe bus ready to go out to the evening train, and were standing in the College street entrance to the stables. A horse attached to a baggage wagon ran awsy just after entering tbe stable from Tryon street and dashed through the stable at a furious rate. At the College street door the runaway horse came into contact with the 'bus horses. One of the shafts struck tbe off wheel horse squarely in tbe breast. The pointed end of the shaft, on coming in corjtact with Jhe breast bone, took a downward oourse and came out behind the right foreleg of the horse. The shaft tore along almost its entire length through this horrible wound, and the point buried itself in the horse's groin, making a second wound. It required the strength of four men to withdraw the shaft from the quivering flesh of the animal. Two large arteries were sev ered, and the service of two physicians were required to take up the arteries and sew up the wounds. The horse, it is believed, will recover. Steamer Movements.
