o happy to announce to the public, especial,
n our friends in Edgecome, that this sterling
s old journal, established by the late Georg
Howard, about forty years ago, and which
has been IN regular course of publication
ever since, is to be enlarged and improved
Our Senior has become part proprietor
thereof, and is to have editorial charge O.
the paper. The tiIst number of the South

It will doubtless be a source of unboun.
ded pleasure to the Tarborians, to learn, as
it is to us, the same qualification and pride,
to know, that this local will occasionally

ANscN CoUNTY.-A friend informs us that
the crops in Arson the present year, have
been very short. It is said that the cotton
crop will probably yield to the county only
about $500, 900 at present prices. The corn
crop is SO short in that section of the State,
that many persons speak of removing.

DEATH OF AN EDIToR-Thos j. Garner,
editor of the Weldon State, died at that
place on Tuesday night
NEw-BERNE.-We saw recently commu-
nication in the Journal Of Commerce, respect
ing the correct printing of the "Athens'
of the State We beg leave to add a few
remarks upon this subject. The town was
laid out and named by DeGraffenried' S col
onists from Switzerland in the year 171O,
and was named after old Be1me, meaning
bear, Switzerland, and as was too frequent
ly adopted in those times the adjective,
new, was prefixed, making NewBerne,
''netO bear,' or Cub, and the signif-
cation is evidently cub-town and from the
number of bears in the POcOsOns in Craven
County, was not inappropriately designa-
ted. And the name may be written one of
two ways correctly, as one word Ne,Uberme,
or with hyphen New-Berne. No other
way it appears can be right. Burn is gaelic
for brook, berne with an e, meaning as
aforesaid, "beur." After so much of phil
illogical lore upon this thread-bea1 discus
sion we hope that ever hereafter this beau
tiful and famous old City will be spelt and
printed with hyphen, as compound

BISHOP ATKINSON Right Rev. Bish-

prelate safe return to his own flock.
