The Old North State says that during the
severe rain and hail storm on Tuesday
night of last week, Mr. Daywalt Lentz, of
Rowan County, had seventeen sheep killed
by lightning. With the instinct peculiar
to the sheep, they all sought shelter from
the storm together under large tree which
received q stroke of electricity during tho
storm, resulting in the death of the whole
flock.
At Morganton, last week, in the Superior
Court for Burke county, james c. Mckes-
son, charged with having killed Robert
Tate, was found guilty of manslaughter.
Abram Smith and son Daniel, charged with
the murder of Caswell, were tried. Abram
Smith was found guilty of the murder and
sentenced to be hanged the first Friday in
May; His counsel, however, took an ap-
peal Very little business on the civil
docket was disposed Of.
DEsTITUT1oN IN IREDELL. desti-
tuition prevails in Ireden county. The
Statesville american says
eve have good reason to believe that
there is much destitution among soldiers
widows and orphans in Iredell county, but
we think that owing to the abundance of
g. ain and meat in the county, these wants
might be abundantly relieved by citizens
of the county, if they would only seek
those in want, and relieve them out of their
abundant stores Of provisions. These wild
ows and orphans are in worse condition
than during the war, when they received
assistance from the State Government.
The YARBoRo' HousE-We notice that
Mr. Blair is tearing down the unsightly old
structure, Immediately adjoining the Ho-
tel, preparatory to the erection of a hand
some adjunct to the main building, Which
is to be occupied as BARRIERS shop, gen
tlemen's furnishing store, &c. 1t will be a
great improvement, but it is only one of
the many that Mr.. Blair has instituted in
and around the establishment. He never
stops improving, and that is the secret of
his success. When you think he has done
the best in his line that cna be done, he
you with something still better.
Raj. Sentinel, Isl inst.
He DID rr-Senator Wilson attended
the African Church in this city on Sunday
evening last and did harangue the congre-
cation. Not content with his intiammato-
ry speech of Saturday, he followed it up
on Sunday, desecrating a house of God,
and forgetting that he is commanded to
keep holy the Sabbath day. "To what
base uses we may return ?" Purltanlcal
Massachusetts, is degenerating.
Nembern Comm eTcidl, 1St inst.
Messrs. Pool & ShotweIl, of the Newbern
Journal Of Commerce, have dissolved CO.
~ i
sive control Of the paper. We wish both
gentlemen success,-the one in his retiracy,
and the other in the further prosecution of
his useful labors.
John Yarbrough, a straggler from the Z.
S. army, who came into this neighborhood
soon after the close of the war, YVES arrest
ed Friday last under charge Of horse
and committed to jail to await tri-
al at the September term of our Superior
Court. The evidence which has been elici
ted, duplicates him not only in stealing Mr..
s horse, but also as partici pating
in the robbery of Mr.. Lynch's shop.
HiHSboro' Recorder, 1St inst.
Our enterprising neighbors, Messrs.
Brown Il Co., inform us that they have just
shipped twenty bbls. flour, the tirstssent by
the trade from Hillsboro' since the war
they nave De2n bringing IL heretofore from
the North. In our view tue price of flour
here still continues too high to commence
sending it abroad but tho day when this
could proftabiy be done has been long
looked for, and We may hope that this is
the beginning of the old trade with the
eastern shore. The wheat crop in this sec
tlOn never looked better or more promising
than at present, and if favored throughout
the season bountiful harvest may be ex-1
pected. Our farmers are buying Guano
and Baugh's Phosphate of Lime IN large
quantities, and we hope great Improvement
III other respects will be made III our agri-
cultural system. It would afford food for
much qualification, if our citizens, instead
of seeking homes abroad, would labor more
to make a paradise at home, as many of
them might.-HiUsboro' Recorder, LIST inst.
LITERARY BoARD.-Gov. Worth has sum-
moned the literary board of the State to

Rev. G. Fl. Wiley and Maj. H. w. Hustled
