Hill, back of his feed store in Brinson's dock to sat isfy claims against her. The State Chronicle tells tlmt three penctcniary convicts from Buncombe coun ty escaped from a chain gang at Morgan Hill. During the night they freed them selves, from their shackles and left at the first opportunity. They were in for burglary. Perhaps their past experience was an aid to them. The breaking of a piece of machinery under thecngiuc when the train was near Kinston caused a delay of nearly two hours last night. With all that could be done to rcmcdv the matter on the road the train was making slow progress, and a special engine was run up which met the train about Core Creek and brought it down. The Washington Gazette tells tiic fol lowing big collard story: "Collards are collards, but when they measure 6 feet across they aie collards, sure enough; yet Mr. J. C. McClaud, of Lake Landing, Hyde county, raises themj of the above dimensions. Our agent, Mr. L. II. Ross, has seen them, and vouchers for the fact.'' Send some of them to the New Berne Fair neighbor. Mr. C. C. Bro j is canvassing the city fowhat appears to be a valuable : ivcn- tlone, a force sprinkler that for a hand apperatus is remarkably effective. Its power to throw a stream of water to aeon ciderablc distance or (o spray as desired makes it very scrvicablc for washing win dows or carriages or even for putting out conflagrations in their incipiency. The Y. M. C. A. entertainment last night gave a very large amount of fun for a small amount of money. There were over two dozen characters in the "Breach of Promise" ccse, and merriment pre- rvai'ed from the opening scene to the close. The performance was about two hours in length. It is hoped the attor neys will move for a new t.ia'. It is a pity for so good a piece so excellently performed to stop with ouly one ren dition. Notwithstanding the small charge a neat little sum was raised and it is like'y that still grca'.cr success would altend a repetition. The continuous use of the city roller for the past day or two on the portion of South Front street on which marl has recently been spread is getting it compact and in very good shape generally. Yes terday a beginning was made towards putting the additional coating of marl on Middle street. A little latter more will be on also where the roller is now at work, it being found that repeated layer, each one well rolled,do better than a single thick one. ''.c '.. 'J? ' ' -.

Nothing would givo us greater pleas ure than sec our State, especially this portion of it, fairly embarked in raising live stoock of every description. It is a matter ol surprise that every farmer docs not have one or more colts being raised on his farm constantly. Why not haave colts as well as calves? Think how much more money the former will save you when grown in case if you need to increase your working force, or how much more money it would bring in case your old supply was sullicient and you put your young horse on the market. Try your hand at horse raising and see how well it will pay you and bear in mind that as the town that has the great est variety of industries is the most likely to flourish, so the farming community that raises the greatest variety of pro ducts has the soundest basis for pros perity. The Premium. Remember that che East Carolina Fair premium books arc ready for mailing and if you have friends elsewhere who feel an interest in the Fair, or whom you be lieve would tuke an interest if it was brought to their direct'notiec, it will be taken as a favor if you will hand in their names to Mr. Clias. Rei.enstein, secretary of the Fair and he will take pleasure in sending them a copy of the premium lint. This year's premium lists are, as we have said before, larger in size and con tain a greater number of premiums and the premiums are larger than ever before. In their make up tho lists are beauties They arc somewhat different from any heretofore used both in the design on the covers and in the material. They are nearly all on elegant embosscdj paper. In the entire number numerous colors are used but unlike those of the last Fair each cover is one solid color of some bca jtiful tint, pink red, different shades of blue and buff, old gold, &c. The workman ship on the books could not have been surpassed. It is a great credit to the firm ef Messrs. Richardson & Son in whose job office the books were made and another proof of the superior manner in mhich our people perform what they un dertake. The Glass Front Boxes. The glass front key boxes one of which is now along side each fire alarm box will considerably expedite matters when it is necessary to send in alarm. Instead of as formerly, having to find out who kept a key to the nearest, and then find him, and then possibly lose a little more time while he was getting the key, all that is necessary is for the ono discovering a fire to break the glass, take out the key and send in the alarm. As rcasoD why this arrangement was not adopted at first was tho fear that if the keys were left thus so any one could make use of them, false alarms would be sent in, but there is but little apprehen sion felt along this line. Wilmington has had this arrangement in use a good while and during all the time only one false alarm has been sent in. The interest that all citizens must feel in the preservation of property would tend to keep down any abuse of the free dom whother through carelessness or wil fulness. Besides, there is such a fine against the malicious breaking of a box or inten tional sending in of a false alarm that it would bo a costly piece of business if one thoughtless or evil disposed enough for the purpose should do so. Tho fine is $20, and the necessity for keeping the system working harmoniously and so that dependence can bo put in it would make it necessary that the ordinance should be rigidly enforced if occasion arose. Occasionally tho inquiry is still made how to send in alarm. All that is neces sary is to open tbe box with the key, pull down the lever that is in plain sight, and tbe work is done. Electricity fixes the rest ' East Carolina Fair. The Kinston Free Press hat the follow ing in regard the approaching Fair: Mr. Chae. Reizenstein, the very efficient secretary and treasurer of the New Berne Fair, writes us that the next fair will be the best and biggest ever held. Be also writes us that we can put it as strong Is we please: "That we certainly will rot have any games of chance of any kind, nature or description under any circum stances." Tbe New Berne Fair should be patronised by all onr people. It bat been and We believe will continue to be by far tbe beat Fair in tbe Bute. Mr. Rcitenttoin . asks nt if we cant't induce tome of onr people to tend some exhibit. Tbt Free Press wants to tee Lenoir and tbemrrounding coontiea well represented at the Fair both in atten dance and exhibit.

The Best Trucking Region in the United States also Uc Greatest 'limber Section. The country through which the Nor folk, Wilmington and Charleston Railroad is to run in the best trucking region in the United Slates, and already sends many million dollars worth of vegetables and Iruits to the North, and it is the greatest timber section. Cotton, rice, corn, potatoes, peanuts, and other staple products are raised in large quantities, and shipped away, largely by boat. The streams abound in linli, which form an im portant article of trade, and the entire country needs only better transportation facilities than it now possesses to make it blossom like the rose, and to attract to it a much larger population than it now supports. Even as it is, it may be called a fairly populous section, with many im portant cities and towns. Among those that arc either on tint line of the new road, or easily reached from it, may be mentioned Norlolf and Wallaccton, Va.; Yardley, (latesville, Coleraine, Windsor, Williamston, Pactolus, Greenville, Wash ington, New Berne, Johnson's Mills, Dover, Pink Hill, South Washington, Burgaw, Wilmington, Point Caswell, and Ermenic, N. C, anil Conway, Fraser, Geojgetown, Santee. McClcllandvitle, and Charleston, S. C. The cities anil counties along (he line of the railroad have a population of about 4(10, OilO, a sufficient nuinlwr, with the large amount of freight they would supply, to give the road a good passenger trade, irrespective of through business. Norfolk, New Berne, Washington, Wilmington, Georgetown, and Charleston are especially large shippers of native products, the trade in which is bound to increase largely with the increase of developments. It almost goes without saying, that there arc no grades of importance in the entire stretch of country from Noifolk to Charleston, and that the character of the land greatly favors eaay anil economical railroad construction. For long dis tances, almost no grading will be required, and the track can be laid with scarcely any cost beyond that of the rails, tics, and ballast. The abrndance of timber insures a supply of the best ties at the least possible cost, anil the freight charges upon rails, delivered at numer ous points by water, will below. The right of way has been given flee, ami township and borough subscriptions al ready made, and many subscriptions have been promised by communities am', individuals anxious to secure the benefits which railroad facilities give. The country from Charleston Harbor, north to Norfolk, for variety and extent of resources, for fertility of soil, and pro ductive capacity, as regards both quality and quantity, for its cotton, varieties of fruit aud vegetables, and for its healthful and agreeable climatic conditions, is a region with which no other seven thous and square miles of the territory of the United States is fairly comparable. Millions of acres of the finest forest of all kinds of timber are tributary to the rail road, and arc capable of supplying inline diate and continuous traffic. The trade on the several thousand miles ol river navigation will seek rail transportation at every point at which the railroad will cross the several important streams. It is safely computed that the commerce ot the several rivers which the new rail nun! crosses, near their outlet to the sea, is sufficient to insure its support. Respectfully submitted, JonN Runk, Chief Engineer. Appovcd, Chambers H. McKibiun, General Manager. Washington's New Bank. The Washington Gazette gives the fol lowing account of the organization ol a new bank there: At a meeting of the suliscriU rs to the stock of the new bank to be started in the town of Washington, N. ('. in January next, which wan held on the 1 Ot It inst. the organization was perfected as follows. Mr. beth Jiridgnian, ot Washington N. (;. was elected President, and II r. Thomas J. Latham, of Norfolk Va., was elected Cashier, and tbe following gentlemen were elected as directors: Messrs. Seth Bridgman, W. P. Baughani, E. M. Short, John Havens, Jr. N. S. Kulford, Sr., Dr. W. A. Blount, all ot Washington, N. C. and Mr. Lewis Latham, of Pantego N. C. with two more to be supplied. The Bank of Washington building was purchased, which was used for a bank ol the same name before the war, and is one of tho best buildings in the State, being fireproof and woll located, the capital stock will be $50,000, with privilege to increase at any time, and it is quite sure that the stock will have to lie put at $00 000 to enable all who want stock to get t. The bank will be supplied with ull the funds necessary to supply all the de mands of tho people of the county and this sectionsof the State, and at reasonable rates,. The bank will open for business on the 15th to the last of January. Mr. Bridg man is known to be one of the best busi ness men of Washington, and Mr. La tham, has had years of experience in this place, JNew lierne and Norfolk.
