ARRESTED. learn that MIR. William
Ham, a citizen of this county, and also
three negroes we're arrested by the Mill
tary on yesterday. It seems that they are
charged with the murder of the Miller lam
lily in Lenoir county, some twelve months
ago, the only evidence so far being that of
one notorious rascal, we'll known to the ci-
vii authority of this and adjoining coun-
ties by the name of Miller, alias Rogers
atlas LcHenry ; who is now here, confined
in Jail, and is to be tried upon charge of
horse stealing in Lenoir county.
Mr.. Ham has. we believe, borne fair
character in this county, and we hope that
he may be able to clear himself of the
charge. .-Goldsboro' Rough Notes.
PROBABLY FATAL AFFRAY AT MosELY
HALL.-We learn by passenger on the
train last evening, that desperate and
most probably fatal afray took place at
Mosely Hall yesterday afternoon, between
r. Waters, Deputy Sheriff of Lenoir coun-
ty, and man named Ben Keel, of Green
county, in which Keel received twenty
three severe cuts about the head and neck,
which will, in all probability result fatal
) ly. Waters received three slight cuts in
| the leg
A woman was the cause.

HARD TO PLEAsE.-The editor of the
GoIdsboro' News returns his ackno nowIedg-
ments to friend for mess of new crop
Irish Potatoes. He actually complains,
however, that they were not cooked before
they were sent. This is only equalled by
the "Tar-Heel " in the Valley, during the
war, who, after having been without ra-
tions for couple of days, approached a
mansion on the roadside and asked for
something to eat. Upon being rendered a
| tempting piece Ol IOal DE6du, uo
ly refused it because it eCdsnt buttered!
COUNTY CoURT.-The sessions of this
Court commenced on Monday, the usual
routine of business being proceeded With.
The crowd in attendance was only tolera-
BILE, the farmers at this particular juncture
desiring to lose no unnecessary time from
their duties upon the farm. We copYersed
with many farmers from different sections
of the county who concur in giving US en-
couraging news as to the prospect of the
coming crop, the most serious features that
threaten prevention being the dlsincllna-
tion of the negro to work. He cannot be
relied upon as safe labor, and it is feared
that at the moment most needed he may
be found wanting. We hope, however,
that this class of beings may soon learn
some reasoning,-Weldon Nears
Cold WEATHER. cold Northeast
winds have prevailed frequently this season,
seriously putting back the crops and gar,
dens. We are apprehensive that the grow.
ing wheat crop, SO generally spoken of as
very fine in the State, will be seriously
damaged. We hope for the best. II
wou be sad misfortune, in our present
condition, if the wheat crop should be cut
short.
This is the 21st of May, and the weather
reminds us of the gloomy days of Novem:
ber, and is cold enough to make a gooo
fire a necessity. Our gardens are generally
backward. Raleigh Sentinel
Fl. o. A's.-We learn that the FL. o. AS

full from other points have been here, W.
presume, in attendance. Mr.. Lassiter
DR.. Grissom, Mr.. Cantwell, and others, W.
have seen on the streets.
