The Doctor again told him he could fnd none,
and he went away. A week or so after they met
each other and he WAS asked about those teeth.

hz- The prospects of peace in Europe gain strength
at least such appears to us to be the conclusion &c
be drawn from the advices by the Africa 1t is
painful to notice that these advces contain no intor
nation Respecting the fate of the missing steamer
Pacific.
The last phase of affairs is that the entente cordalt
between England and France is strengthening instead
of weakening, at least such seems to be the infer
ence from the givngs out of some of the non-ofica
Paris journals copied without remark or conradic-
ton into the columns of thu official Moniteur, which
paper copies from the Seie article insisting that
the destruction of the dock-yards and arsenal at
Nicolaief was necessarily comprised in the condi-
lions accepted by Russia for the naturalization OF the
Black Sea. The Unofficial PGtrle protests thai
the London Times did the French Government great
injustice the other day in representing that 1t leaned
more to Austria than to England.
The appearance of things-the givings out of the
press official and i-official TO point TO a
perpetuation of the Anglo-French alliance, with a
continuance of it's arrogance and ntermeddllng dispo
Siton. There appears 10 be manifested by the allies
a reliance in their own power to dictate the rest Of
the world and to regulate the balance of power, or
both continents If things keep on as they have
started there must be seen in the distance, trouble fol
the United States If the British and French claim
to regulate the balance of power on this side the
Atlantic as they do the other side, it cannot bu
produce collision, which the United States cannot
avoid or shrink from.
Had this Anglo-French alliance been in operation
ct the time when Texas was annexed to the United
States, and when, by that annexation, and the subse
quent cesson of territory by Mexico our boundarie
were extended to almost double their former limits
it is quite possible that England might have bee
tempted to 90 beyond the protest with which sh

Methodist divine, that he advocated the auap'auoh

precinct in the country should organize themselves
into Democratic Associations, doing so openly anu
above-board, with definite aims and Objects known
b.. md n the world.
The Democratic meeting in the county has recon-
mended to the different precincts in this county the
organization of Democratic Associations in each pre-

communication meets with the full approval OF every
Democrat in the county, and, we sincerely trust will
be promptly acted upon

PAINFUL RAIL ROAD ACc1DENr.-We learn that a
painful accident occurred about eleven o'clock last
Monday forenoon, on the Seaboard and Roanoke
Rail Road, by which four persons are known to have
been killed and it is feared that the number of those
injured must be large
The treste-work this side of the Maherran River,
about fourteen miles from Weldon, gave way, while
the mail and passenger train from Portsmouth to
Weldon was passing over it, by which the Engine,
Tender and three Cars were precipitaed to the
ground distance it is said of about thirty feet
Mr.. Kilkelly, the Express Messenger; Mr.. Daugh-
try, the Mail Agent and two coored men wete
burned up, so the dispatch says, probably from be-
ing thrown under the Engine.
We have no further particulars, but evidently
much other damage must have been done, and many
other persons injured, some doubt fatally. 1t il
said that the Engineer and several of the passengers
are badly hurt.

We give below the amount of produce inspected
at this place during the last year, as PER returns
made to the County Court, now in session. We
would here remark that the very small quantity of
cotton and rice retur ned by the Inspectors, is no
evidence of the quantity sold. These articles, to-
gether with flour, pork and hay will be returned by
Inspectors appointed by the Commissioners OF Town,
to whom, we presume, the returns will be made.
Several inspectors of naval stores and timber made

No- Isn't it little strange that our Know Nothing
neighbors should complain of the action of the
County Court in the appointment of Inspectors. &C.,
inasmuch every word of censure uttered with re-
gard TO the Democratic Magistrates applies with
double force to the Know Nothing auth critics of
town, who have set the example. In good truth, we
question if anybody really expected the County
Court to pursue different course. To quote very
old and very plain proverb, what is for the
goose is sauce for the gander." This, we presume,
will be acknowledged to be the plain sense of the
thing. In former times, TO everybody's knowledge,
the County Court elected Wings well Demo-
Gratis, but since the rule of exclusion has been made
to operate against Democrats, it is but natural and
fair that it should be made to operate for them. 1t
would be bad rule that wouldn't work both ways
