Wake County.

The full vote OF Wake County is for Rati-
fication 707, Rejection 347-majority $50.
This is not quite half the vote of the
County, but we are gratiied to record so
handsome majority for the new Consti-
tuition.
Those old and well tried Union precincts,
Barney Joness, Lashley's Cross Roads, and
Lawss, have given an almost unanimous vote
for Ratification, while the secession feeling
shows its venom by the large majority for
Rejection at the Nat. Jones precinct. Though
the vote at Raleigh is small, it nevertheless
shows that the Union feeling is, still in the

some men fishing for porgies off Seguin with
nets, captured huge turtle of the African
species whose fippers had become entangled
in the net. He was take. on board the vessel
and brought to Portland. 1t is Judged that
he weighs more than twelve hundred pounds.
Some twelve or fifteen years since vessel
was wrecked in that vicinity, with an Afri-
can turtle on board that weighed three hun
dred pounds There is no doubt but the
captured one is the same fellow, as he has
been seen occasionally ever since she was
wrecked. He has improved his time by
growing so that when in the water it took
four men to manage him, with cord tied to
each f1ipper.
