COULDN'T OBEY THE ScR1pTuREs.---Two
boys were fighting few days ago, when a
gentleman, seeing the larger one pummeling
the other rather severely, seized him and
pulled him into his store. The boy; in a
blubbering tone said, look, he has given
me black eye,' and started to re.attack him.

p p6 Recently we published a statement
that ma man BY the name Of Boone, an inmate
of Lenoir county Poor House, had become
heir to large fortune. A correspondent
at Kinston, N. c., writing to the Newbern
Progress, says: g.. .....s,. ..-...
"It has created quite an excitement in
these diggings. Pleasure carriages can. fire.

poor house, loaded with the aristocracy of

right hand of fellowship to General James
Boone; and am informed, bidding the old
soldier to participate for the future in their
circle. Birds of feather will naturally
flock together. ..... ...
In letter wrote to you few weeks
ago, stated that James Boone, pauper in
Lenoir county poor house, had inherited a
fortune amounting to one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. / have since been infor-
med that the amount will be much larger
than my frst statemet Some of our people
that seem to be posted up respecting this
property, say that it will exceed three hun
dred thousand dollars. But I suppose no
one knows the exact amount. Yet it is ap-
parent, if all the reports be correct, the
quantity must be very large, and that a
prominent citizen of this county has been
constituted and appointed, with the power
of Attorney, to go forward and make'all
zneedful rules and regulations respecting
this property.
