FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

New YORK July 1S.-The steamer Ellen 8.
Terry brings Newbern advices of the 18th.
The Raleigh Progress says there is not q SOL
itary case Of yellow fever at Wilmington. The
Progress speaks in the highest terms of the adj
ministration of Gen. Holden. It sets forth the
great benefit Newbern has received BY the in.
fux of Northern business men. In 1858 It was
deemed impracticable to run line of steamers
to New York, but now there are two, and one
or two to Baltimore.
New YORK, July 18.-The steamer Louisa
Moore brings Wilmington dates to the 14ths
The Herald says nearly half million dol.
lars have been paid to soldiers there within a
few days.
The American Telegraph Company have
taken charge of the Southern lines, and expect
soon to have communication through the inte-
rior between New York and New Orleans.
The Moore left one day prior to the time ad
vertised for sailing, owing to the fact that her
cargo and another one were lying, on the dock
before she arrived
There is more freight OF Wilmington des-
tined for the North than present transportation
can accommodate, and when the railroads are
put in operation there will be an increased de-
mand. as there is great amount of produce
about Wilmington.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Saturday about noon
the wife of Capt. A. r. French, very sstima-
bic lady residing in the Fourth Ward, died al
most instantaneously, from sudden attack of
bleeding at the lungs. She had been in very
poor health for about . year, but on Friday felt
well enough to ride down town and walk about
some. Yesterday as tho Mcclellan was putting
out from the upper levee with the Second Reg
iment aboard, she walked from her house,
(near Vance Browns stone row. to the edge
of the bluff, distance of about 200 yards, to
see the boat pass. She was accompanied by
Miss Minerva French, her daughter. When
the boat passed BY she remarked, 81 am so
and I do 60 much want to see my boys coming
home the same way" (referring to her sons,
Capt A. Perry French and Sergeant Edward
R. French, veterans in the Fifth Regiment)
Whether the excitement of the thought, or the
exertion of the walk overcame her, is not
known, but scarcely had she spoke thus, ere
she was seized with violent hemorrhage of the
lungs, and could only totter, with the aid of
her daughter. into . shanty near by, where she
sank down and died In . few minutes. Her
only words were, I" I am going to de-" A
physician was sent for, but life had already
fed. Thus almost her last thoughts and words
were of her loved ones far away.
We trust we may be excused for going lit
tie out of the usual path of formal obituary
notice, in speaking of Mrs. French, - her Ia
mented end recalls "reminiscences of the histor.
| ic days of Minnesota. She was one Of the old
est residents in the State, having come to Fort
Smelling in 1884 or So, and lived at Fort SHELL
ing with the family of an officer, who were her
relatives. Her maiden name was Henry. Neill,
IN his gossipy but interesting Occurrences in
and around Fort Smelling, from 1919 to 1840,"
published last year by the Historical Society
says:
On Tuesday, the Goth of November, 1886, at
the quarters of Capt. Barker, U. g. A., Alpheus
Il. French, of New York, was married to Mary
Ann Henry, of Ohio.
If we mistake not. this was the first Chris
tan marriage between parties both of white
blood in the Territory, and the sixth one that
is recorded in the annals of the Fort, Major
Taliaferro, civil officer performing the cere.
monica
Alpheus r. French, it is well known, was .
soldier in the army at that time. His term ex-
pirng, he settled near st. Paul. Four of their
seven children are living. Mrs. French's age
was 40 years.

In the record in use prior to the present
one. some four years, only 42O certificates are
recorded, while some of these are of mar
riages solemnised prior. During that period
one clergyman brought in nearly twenty cir
tidcates In one batch, to be recorded, some Of
them dated five years previous. The loss of
these by lire, or otherwise, might have entailed
great distress and trouble on the innocent par
ties, who under the old law relied on the person
performing the marriage ceremony to file the
certificate. It was to put sstop to the wrongs
arising under that loose system that the new
Law was framed, and 1t is satisfactory to learn.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.
DISTRESSING CASUALTY.

Friday at one o'clock young man n6ueo
:Joe, ", sherburne, son of Judge NJ. Sherburne,
of this city, met with severe if not fatal &C
cident at the chair factory of Mr.. F. Jansen,
on Eagle street, where he was employed as en-
cineer, resulting in the loss OF one leg, and
two serious fractures of the skull.
The engine had been stopped while the
workmen were at dinner, and when the hour
of one arrived, Sherburne attempted to start
il. It had stopped on the centre, to use an
engineers phrase, and in order to start IT, II
was necessary to take hold of the governor
Wheel and revolve it by main force. he did
30. but accidentally got his hand fastened un'
der the large belt that ran over the wheel.
The engine had full head of steam on, and
started off at the highest speed. Poor Sher-
burne, held by his hand, was whirled around
a number of revolutions, in space between
the wheel and "pit box-a recess scarce o
foot wide, and not more than five or six feet
long How often he was whirled around thus
ia not known-perhaps a dozen times before
the engine was stopped by fellow workman,
who happened to see his terrible predicament
and ran and shut the valve. The wheel stop
ping, Sherbune's body fell to the floor, covered
with blood, and it was now first noticed that
his left leg had been cut off completely, about
half way from the knee to the ankle.
From the position in which the discovered
limb was found, and other indications, it must
have been cut off by the crank, turned by the
pitman, which fitted very close in the pit box,
and was square and sharp. While being whirl-
ed around by the wheel, his leg probably
struck on the edge of the box, and was cut of
in q second.
As soon as possible Sheburnre was taken to
the residence of his father, and his injuries at
tended to by Drs. Murphy, wharton, Steele
Wiley and Brisbine. Two fractures of the
skull were. found, one on the right and the
ether on the left side of the head, tho plate
being driven in upon the brain. The trephine
was successfully used to restore the skull to
its place. The left leg was amputated just be-
low the knee. On examination other wounds
were found-a hole punched through the left
wrist, and sundry bruises and cuts elsewhere.
The unfortunate young man is now lying in q
very critical situation, and it Is doubtful wheth-
er he will recover. Youth and strong con-
stitution are in his favor however. The mir.
acle is that he was not instantly killed. It
seems wonderful that he could have been
whirled swiftly around in such q small space
as he was, and not be Knocked to pieces. The
wall near by and all the engine, was covered
with blood. -
He was almost unacquainted with machinery,
and had only been running the engine about q
week. Perhaps more caution would have pre-
vented the accident. The sympathies of his
friends and of the many friends of the family,
are with him, however, and they sincerely
hone for his recovery
