Eg~ The Detroit Tribune says that one
case Of the disease called trichina, which
has recently excited much alarm in Ber-
lin, Prussia, has appeared in that city
and proved fatal. The victim was a
young German lady. The Trichiua Spi-
rails is a small microscopic worm or All
mdlca2u, which is found in the muscles
and intestiues OF various animals, espe-
ciaIly pigs and rabbits, in such enormous
quantities that in a single ounce Of pork
one hundred thousand Of these animal
cules have been found. By p~artaking Of
the meat infected with them they are
transferred % the human body, causing
intense suffering, followed in many cases
by d painful death. These 0~lliB5olcUles
are not destroyed by smoking or by fry
ing pork, but hard and long boiling is
necessary.

Hon. Hugh Waddell.

We regret exceedingly to see so many of our
leading citizens removing from the State. Within
the last twelve months several eminent gentlemen,
who were ornaments to the bar of North Carolina,
and have been in times past honored representa-
tives of the peoples, have removed to the West or
further South.
We are nevertheless glad to notice that they
have been welcomed to their new homes in a man
ner worthy the distinguished consideration in
which they were held here. Among those who
have recently removed from the State, there is not
one who leaves behind better record gentle
man or lawyer, than he whose name heads this
article. Here, where he is SO well known and ap-
preciated, the following extr ct from late Savan-
nah paper will be read with pleasure

of North Carolina, admitted to plead and practice in

We publish elsewhere the evidence of Mr. Thos
NJ. Cook, late editor of the Herald Of this city,
before the Reconstruction Committee It is highly
gratifying to see that Mr.. Cook has not lived in
our midst in order to malign and misrepresent us,
as soon as he gets away, which has been the char
acteristic of too many Northern men. Mr.. Cook
deserves the commentator due to persons in
these times, who have the courage to tell the truth
even upon the witness stand His evidence. so
far as this community is concerned, is strictly
true, and his position Editor of daily paper in
this city for quite twelve months, furnished him
with opportunities of forming correct conclusions
not enjoyed by many of those who came amongst
us with the Federal forces.
MIR. Cook, as editor of the Herald, manifested
but little sympathy with our people, which, fol-
lowed by failure i'm his business here, will re-
heve him of suspicion of being under any inHu-
ence favorable to our people, save that which
conscientious regard to truth and the sacred obi
cations of his oath, demanded of him.

Deatb of Hon. ID. s. Dickinson.

A telegram from New York announces the death
of Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, a name Familiarity
connected with the political history OF the eoun-
try for more than thirty years. Mr.. Dickinson
was in his sixty-sixth year, having been born In
Litchfield county, Connecticut, in 1900, removing
very early in life to New York. He served in the
New York Senate, was Judge of the Court OF Er-
rors from 1886 to 1S41, Lieutenant Governor from
1912 to 1874. In 1874, upon the resignation OF
Silas Wright as Senator, to run for Governor OF
New York, in the Interest of the Polk and Dallas
ticket, Mr.. Dickinson was appointed Senator, by
Governor Bouck, and was, in the following JAN
uary, elected by the Legislature for the full term
Mr.. Dickinson, acted very distinguished and
n very brilliant part in the great compromise de-
bate of 1850, for which he not only received the
highest recommendations at home, but was the
recipient of compliments from all portions of the
country He was not however, reelected, and
from the expiration OF his Senatorial term, his
political career has been characterized by the bit
tcrness Of disappointed ambition He
pirant for position in the Cabinet of President
Pierce and was quite prominent as compromise
candidate before the adjourned Democratic Con-
yention which assembled in Baltimore in 1860,
which finally split, one wing nominating Breckin-
ridge and the other Douglas.
Since that time Mr. Dickinson attached himself
with the Republican party, and in 1861, he was
elected Attorney General, and was subsequently
appointed United States District Attorney which
position he held at the time of his death.
MI. Dickinson was the only formidable oppo-
nent of President johnson, in the Republican
Convention of 1864 at Baltimore as the candidate
for Vice President. His nomination would of
course have resulted in his election and his death
would have made Mr.. Foster, the present Radical
President pro tena of the Senate, the President of
the United States, until the 4th of March next,
and in the meantime the Constitution would have
required Presidential election. Who does not
see, in being thus spared from the tender mercies
of Foster and the terrible consequences of Presi
Dental election in the present disordered state of
the country, the protecting care of Divine Provi
lence.

The southern Relief Fair--A suggestion,

The Southern Relief Fair closed at ten O'Clock
last Friday night. Many articles remained to be
disposed of, and 1t had not then been determined
what disposition should be made of them. Some
of the managers were in favor of sending them
South, while others thought more real aid could
be rendered by sending them to New York and
other cities to have them sold
Some time, therefore, must elapse before the
exact amount realized by the Fair will be fully as
certained. Up to this time one hundred and thur

The Case of Major Gee.

The case of this gentleman on trial before the
Military Commission now in session at Raleigh,
for his life for alleged crueties to Federal prs
oners while in command of the Confederate prison
at Salisbury in 1s6465, is, we understand, sub
iect of much interest and some excitement, conse-
uuent upon the aspect it has assumed IN conse-
nuence of the late Peace Proclamation OF Presl-
dent johnson. .
The counsel for Mai. Gee, Col. Holland, sued
ont writ of habeas corpus in his behalf directed
to Cen. Ruper. the commander of this Military
Department.. and returnable before his Honor
Judge FowIe. for Saturday last. We learn nom
the Sentinel that Gen. Ruger endorsed the writ 10
the effect that he held Maj Gee, under the order
of the President, and therefore refused 10 produce
the body Col. Holland, upon the return OF the
writ, made an argument before the Judge ana
moved an attachment against Gen. Kruger.
Judge Fowle stated that according to his con.
struction of the Presidents proclamation declar
ing peace to exist the people OF North Cafohna
were RENTED to their civil rights and that one
of these rights was that man, unless employed IN
the land or naval forces of the Government, should
not be held amenable to military law. As ne was
DESTROYS however, in a matter of such grave I'M
portance, to consult all the authorities THAT mad
been cited, and to give the whole subject that IN
vestipation to which it was entitled, he should
nostpone his decision in the premises until Satur
day the 2Sth inst. ......
Should Judge Fowle's decision be in accordance
with the intimation he has thrown OUT it will be
the duty of the Governor, to compel Gen. Ruger
to surrender Maj. Gee to the civil authorities.
This probability of conflict of authority is at
tended with some degree of excitement and inter
est 1t is to be hoped, however, that before Judge
Fowle can deliver his opinion, consequent upon
the Importance of the question and his engage
ments on the circuit, that Gen. Ruger will receive
instructions from the Chief of the War Depart
ment which will settle the matter, without dith-
Guilty and with that consideration and dignity
which its very great Importance demands. !

FRESH RIvER.-The waters OF the Cape Fear

borne from its swanps and river banks, indication
that the stream had been swollen by late rains. It is
