A portion of the current ran down the logs attaehed to the carriage, and, strange to say, the driver was only (lightly shocked. It is thought that the stroke was a forked one, as a tree a few yards away was struck simultaneously. The oxen were owned by J P. Ipook and were a valuable team. Personal. Hon. C. C.

Wednesday Evening:, June 18. OF This evening closed the commence ment exercises of the first term of Vance Academy in New Berne under the charge of Prof. W. R. Skinner After opening with a beautiful song by olass "Drifting with the Tide," Hon. J. 8. Long, in his accustomed eloquent style introduced the speaker of the evening, W. J. Peel, Esq., of Raleigh. The gentleman recognized how dis agreeable the weather was for an au dience and sensibly abbreviated his ad dress to twenty or twenty-five minutes length. Nevertheless, had there not been other exercises on the program to tako place during the evening, the audience would have been delighted to have heard more from this brilliant and thoughtful young speaker. His subject was on the growth and development of the gifts with which God has blessed man. He said that he wished to pre sent a few plain and praotical faota about educational growth. In this growth thero was something far more important than the mere cramming of book learning. If this was the principle object, and sought at the expense of proper training of the character, then education in a failure and cannot stand. History, in tbe time of the flourishing of the Roman tnipire, and even New York city today, was cited to bear out the facts. Governments must depend on the training of the youth in the way of lovo, honor and justioe. It was a splviidid address and abounded with much thfft was of value and worthy of scriouH consideration. At the close of the address C. R Thomas, Esq., in well chosen words on behalf of the pupils of Vance Academy, presented the speaker with a handsome boquot of choice flowers. too program was again taken up. arid entertainingly rendered as follows Recitation, "Py ramus and Thisb," II. Simmons. "Rejected," dialogue, Messrs. Al meda House, Lilian Fowler and Harry Bryan. Recitation, "Little Tuchman," Master Eugene Skinner. Instrumental solo, "Dancing Waves,' Miss Minolia Cohen. The Sohool Festival," a cantata by number of young ladies and gentle men, for boauty and merit, was not equaled by anything produoed by the school during tbe entire exeroises. It was a rather classical production, in which the young people acquitted themselves admirably. We can only mention the special features. A duet by Misses Ruth and Lillian Fowler was worthy every compliment paid them. A solo by Eddie Hardison showed voice of much more than ordinary capabilities. The singing and recitals of the queen. Miss Tucker, attracted attention from the first. iShe has clear, resonant voice and articulates exceptionally well. Though it was her first appearance before the publio, Miss Tucker has won the name of an ekv cutionist. Miss Allen smith rendered a very creditable recitation, "The Black smith's Story." Out All Round" was a humorous dialogue by Misses Carrie Schelky, A E. Smith and Geo. Cask ill. Recitation "Ride of Jennie M'Neal Miss B. M. Tucker. Very good. Song "Don't Go Out," by Class, Sung with fine effeot. Declamation "Battle of Waterloo,' by J. W. Moore, jr. Recitation "Mother and Poet," by B. H. Melton. Pronouncrd by a com petent judge to be the most natural speaker among the young men. Recitation W. A. Saddler. "The Drowned Mariner." Declamation J. F. Scheelky, "Land of the South." Deolamation Frank Tisdale, "Matt F. Ward's Trial for Murder." Dialogue'" Woman 's Rights, "Misses Bessie Tuoker, Carrie Scheelky, Lillian Fowler, A. E. Sjiith and B. H. Melton Both good and true in illustration to thought the males present. Deolamation Geo, G ask ill, "Sparti cub to tbe ulaaiators or Home." Mr G&skill has a good voice and can make an impressive speaker. rxne last on tne program was, "Friendship, Love and Song," a grand and inspiring piece of vocal music, Though difficult, its beautiful strains of flowing melody were mastered and aocepted by the lovers of musio with delignt. This brings the first term of Vance Academy. to a close, The principal Prof. W. R, Skinner and his aooom pliahed assistant," MIsi Maude Moore, deserve muon credit for the snooets ihey have attained in getting up the! Commencement. " The sehool will plonlo at Fowles today and we wish them a nappy re An Old Veteran's Letter to a Fellow Soldier. Mr. D. Hassell has received a letter from bis old friend and commander, Captain John Taylor Wood, who new lives in Nova Scotia. Capt. Wood was commander of the privateer "Talla hassee." His crew captured tbe Fed eral gunboat in Neuse river. On that night every member of that brave crew, of which Mr. Hassell was cock swain, proved themselves to be men, and throughout the war a braver com mander or it braver crew never sailed the sea. Mr. Hassell went to Richmond on the 29th of May, chiefly for the pur pose of seeing his old commander, who was there, but they never met. lie then wrote to him, and here is the re ply. It is an evidence of the affection begotten by four years of commcn hardship and trial: Office of Commissioners of Pilots. Halifax, N. 8., June 13, 1800. My Dear Shipmate and Friend . I was very much pleased in receiving your kind letter, and am very sorry I did not meet you in Richmond. My time there was neoessarily very limited, and tbe only thing I regret in my visit is that I missed seeing so many old friends. It was indeed a glorious day. a great re union, suon as we can hardly hope to soe again, of old Confederates from Maryland to Texas, all animated by tne old spirit and love for the South and uh leaders. I have been anxious for a long time to visit Norfolk and New Home, and hope yet to have an opportunity of doing so, and to recall, with old friends, past scenes and trials. I will bear in mind your wish for a picture and will try and send you one. Yours very truly, etc., J. Taylor Vh'1. A Disastrous Railroad Wreck. Abbeville, N. C, June 28. There was a terrible wreck of a freight train on tbe Aeneville and Spartanburg branch of the Western North Carolina Railroad at Melrose station last night. Four men are reported killed and three badly wounded. Perhaps the most destructive wreck, both in life and property, ever known in the historv of the Western North Carolina Railroad ocourred at MelroBe station at the southern side of the Sa luda mountain about thirty-two miles from this city on the Ashevillc and Spartanburg, S. C., division last night. The dead are engineer J. J( Smyra, of Chester, S. O., engineer Lewis Teen stall, of Yorktown, Va., fireman W. C Taylor, of Morristown, Tenn., sou of W P. Taylor, for twenty years con ductor on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad. The injured are C. Bowoock, flagman, thigh broken; George Rickets, conduotor, injuries not serious, escaped by jumping; Win. Hoe, fireman, slight injuries, escaped byJ jumping; twocolored brakeraen, named roster and Ureenlee. painful but not dangerous wounds. From the apex of Saluda mountain to Melrose, the scene of the accident, a distance of less than three miles, there is a fall of fully six hundred feet. This fact has made the railroad authorities special ly careful at this point, and an engine is kept constantly there to help all trains up and down the mountain. The track was very wet last night when a coal train started down, and soon af ter beginning the descent it became evident that twelve loaded cars were too much for both engines to hold, with all brakes down, and the speed grad ually quickened under the heavy pres sure until a speed of seventy-five miles an hour was reached, wnen the track spread, and the entire train plunged headlong down the mountain with terrible crash, burying beneath the broken cars, oross ties and earth the brave men who had stood to their post. I he loss to the company in engines and cars alone will reach seventy-five thousand dollars. A train containing superintendent V. E. MoBee and sur geons left this city immediately on hearing of the wreck and roturned to day Dnngicg the Dodies of engineer Smyra and fireman Taylor. Both en gineers have families, Smyra s wife being at MoreheadCity. where she was notified by telegraph of the disaster. ThiB is the fourth wreck on this road within a week. Trains will .not be able to run on schedule time before to morrow. Winston's Ulory. Winston, N. C, June 17. Winston covered herself with glory today. The proposition to issue $200,000 worth of bonds for oity improvements was over. whelmlngly carried, not a single vote against it. -.This provides for the imme diate ereotion or a market-house, city hall and oity prison, the construction of sewerage system and well-paved streets and buying of water-works.
