He served in both branches Of the Legisla-
ture and was President Of the Council ofState.
In the latter years Of his life he devoted much
time to reading and reflection and expressed
much apprehension that our inestimable
government which had cost so much blood
and treasure, hardship and suffering, was
destined to share the fate Of former re-
publics. t.s..ss.f.s. sa ag
Lenolr County is surrounded by Jones,
Pitt, Craven, Greene, Wayne, and Duplin

tern part OF the State and bounded by Edge

Snow Hill is the capital.
The Cothechney Indians dwelt in thscoun-

whom made descent upon the inhabitants
of the Mouse and Trent, and massacred / 80
persons. twas in this attack that Lawson

OUR MARKETs-This morning our domes-

OF the unfavorable weather. The fish season
Is ending, and oysters, mutton and game are
taking its place. The fish have not been SO
large this season as heretofore. We have not
seen the large spots and trout which used to
DC brought IN some year, ago. Nor have the
Sleeps head been so large or so abundant 1t
Is tlmeifor large rock fish also, but we have
not yet seen any of those large fellows for

The WAY To Do IT The great reduction
we have recently made on prices for all kinds
of job printing has caused a rush to us from
all quarters, and ihorder to meet the demands
we have to keep our presses going night and

sixpeuce is better than the slow shilling" and
on this principle we are determined to work

seems that Williams ordered Martin to halt,

him. The first two shots missed, but the
third struck him in the right side of his
neck when he Immediately fell, He was
taken up by some of his friends and carried
home, wien Dir. VIM. Moore was Immediately
called in to examine the wound. We have
not been informed as to the character Of the
wound-whether it is dangerous or not.
