Tragical Affair in Raleigh N. c.

A correspondent Of the Petersburg Express wri-
ting from Raleigh Jan. IL says:
4 most tragical affair took place Mt tho Plant.
crs' Hotel in this city. this evening between and
;, o'clock, by which man named Sherwood
Parrish. lost his life. Tho circumstances Of the
case rs near M | could obtain them. owing to the
great confusion and excitement, are these.
y man named Erastus Hogg, Il sort of half era
Nv fellow had been boarding at the Planters, had
failed To pay his bill, and Parrish, the bar keeper
clerk. had told him to keep awny from the place
To-day, llogg with several Others went TO the

bar-rooni. n question as to strength raised, and
Parish said hat he could put lIorg out Of the
room whcrenron llogg borrowed 81 from by.
siander, which hc offered To bet that Parish could
moi put him out. Parish refused to bet. and the
affair seemed about to pass of, when lIogs ap-
preached Parish in jocunr way. and proposed
to test their strength by seeing which could put
the other out. Parish took hold of him and a tus-
>ir rnsuci, during which both got angry They
then released their holds, and commenced nbus-
ing each other. in which abuse Parish WINS espe-
Gladly severe AT length each seized II chair and
went ut the other, when they were kept apart by
the bystanders. llogS, it seems, then took his
seat, and tonk no further notice Of Parish, who
continued 10 abuse him. and finally left the house
During tho attcrnoon Parish ives heard by nu-
morous persons to threaten to cane llogg if he
came hcre AGAIN.
Between and 3 o'clock, at the usual supper
hour. lIogg came again, and was proceeding To
enter the dining room, when Parish drew a pistol
and snapped once or more at him, and fin ling
that the pistol would not fire, he drew II sword
from cane and rushed at lIogg lIogs at the
same time made at Parish with "a drawn knife,
with Which, lac stabbed him three or more times

had for Col. Edmundson.

We alluded. come time ago, to the fact that the
Democracy of Faystts county had appointed del
Isgatss 10 Congressional Convention, to nominate
. candidate In place Of Hon. HENRY A. EDMUND
SON. We see that the Democracy Of Boone have
followed suit. and have also appointed dsiega-
ton to Convention for The same purpose
But this is not oil. The Boone Democracy COM
plain. in the preamble Of their resolutions that.
this end of the District has had the repre-
.eutation thereof" and they therefore resolved.
that that "end," sis fairly entitled to the next
representation, and we hereby press the claim up
on the consideration of the proposed Convention
Furthermore they recommend to the considera-
ton of the Convention, the claims Of our fellow
citizen, Isaac S. SANuELs.'
So it appears thatthe Democracy OF Boone have
not ONLY called for Convention, hut have even
gone 30 far as to recommend one Of their fellow
citizens" Us it's nominee.
Besides this, the Kanawha Valley Star" n
Democratic organ in the West, says that "Col.
EpxuNpsoS, VIC believe, declines to run again for
the Office" We take it that this will be news to
Col EDnrNDsoSs friends in this "ena' of the Dis
trict. We have no knowledge personally, Of Col.
EpxrSpsoNs views in tho matter but "a his Con
gressional record has been entirely unobectiona-
bic To his party associates and personal friends,
We conclude they will protest against his being
thus unccremoniously set aside.

The Recent Cold Snap.

The weather here on Monday and Monday night
MS intensely cold--the thermometer ranging
irum ,n lO' above zero. Tuesday it modera-
IA very >cusibly. We find the following account
Of the weather North showing that for more than
seventy years they have not experienced such in
,r'.sit, ii cold. The n. Y. Times in speaking of
u says;
The riraugest part Of tho phenomena was that
though the sun was shining brightly the intensity
at the cold kept gradually increasing from sunrise
until nro when the mercury in the thermometer
t5achcd nine below zero. People suddenly began
to discover that their stoves, steam ipcs and reg
>;ers did not give any heat, and business men rs
toy hurried d WI didn't know what to make of
the iclcles whic, hung from their mousachcs,
Ike the pendants from a glass chandelier.
There must have been terrible suffering among
the poor who were not prepared with suitable de-
fences against the unlocked for rigors Of the
and We fear that there will be a report Of
great distress on hoard If ships on the coast.
scsrral cases Of suffering have already been
Ior'ed and one Of an omnibus driver having becn
actually frozen 10 death. The remarkable effects
ot the ed We're Oh the Bay andrilcrs, where
th.ck .loui OF steam was ali day, looking

The temperature of the air was 80 much lower
than that VI tie water, that the vapor assembled

Among the number Of casls in which people

The Herald aids:
ttle girl, the daughter of n gentleman resi-
ding in the upper part Of the city, WAS sent to
school. warmly muilied up; but the child returned
home early in the day with her hands frost-biten,
and it required frequent applications of snow and
ice before the hands resumed their natural state.
We learn that a number of clerks and mechanics
residing in the upper part Of the city, and doing
business down town, had their and noses frost
bitten, not having taken proper preeaution before
leaving home, which, Of course, was Mt n very
early hour in the day, when the cold was most u-
tense.

ACQUISITION of Cuba.

The New York sun, we think, takes the right
view Of this question. Here is whit it says:
"lflhe President really desired to acquire Gu
ba, durng his term Of Office he blundercd we
think, in openly PROPOSING to purchase the Is
land.
There was time, some years ago.
when by quiet, shrewl management, the purchase
Of Cuba could we think, have been effected; but
no price that we could offer would now tempt
Spain to sell the Island 70 us

The Administration and Judge Douglas

The Washington correspondent of the New York

The impression seems to exist abroad that the
Administration and Douglas becoming recon
prominent Dcmocrat--ono in the good graccs Of
tho Admluistration-sa said, last night, in public, in
circle of Democrats. that he had rather support
Mr.. ScwaIL for the Presidency than Judge Doug

Better Times

The Washington Union a, the close Of a long
article, on the financial condition Of the country,
takes an encouraging view of the future. We
quote ~ follows:
What 10 now the condition Of affairs, The great
railroad systems Of America and Europe, which
have besn the object Of such immense outlaws Of
money IN their construction have at length ceased
to be the objects of expenditure, AMI become the
agencies OF production Machinery and skill in
manufactures have been brought to the highest
degree OF perfection; improvements in steam loco
motion and navigation have apparently reached
the ne plus slsrs Of progress; maritime knowledge
In tides, winds. and dangers to navigation has at.
tanned to marvellous thoroughness and pro6cieu-
cy; and with all these facilities for material and
Anancial progress, We have supplies Of gold set
ting Ia npon rs from Australia and California, in
streams moro profuse and prodigal than mankind
eyer herstofore imagined in their widest dreams
In visw Of al these propitious circumstances, We
