place last week in Lumberton--a general
row and fight between whites and negroes,
in which several were badly beaten and one

that Dr. VIM. II. Glass, one of our practic-
ing physicians, died at his residence in this
place, on Monday morning, about four
o'clock, from congestion of the brain. HIS

many of our citizens by surprise. He had
not been in very good health for some
months previous, but he nevertheless con-
tinued to attend regularly to his business.

THE TAYLOR AND KNIGHT MURDER CASE
The Supreme Court have affirmed the
Judgment obtained against these men at
Fall Term, for the murder of John A. Cut
chin in August of 1866, and consequently
they will have to be sentenced again next
week, by the Judgeipresiding at the Spring
Term of the Superior Court.
This case has been unavoidably protrac-
ted for long time and the decision thus
made will no doubt receive 81 the general
approval of those acquainted with the facts.
It is probable that their execution viii be
delayed but short time after the passing
OF the sentence.-Tarhoro' Southerner.
