PLUMBER IN BANKRUPTCY.-Mr. COWen,
a merchant of Hillsboro', filed petition
in Bankruptcy. He paid Deweese SIS

Eighteen hundred dollars only were re-
ported for distribution. When we heard
from the case last, certain creditors were
determined to overhaul the matter before
Judge Brooks.
Judge Brooks is an honest man, and we
think that he will be apt to dock Cebe
Harris bill. Now Cebe's fees as Deputy
Marshal were $40O, of which $500 were for
storage of the goods in Raleigh, for two
months.
With such fees the Superintendent of
Public Works should be made to abate one
dollar in the cord on wood for the Lunatic
Asylum. DIR. Grissom's attention is called
to the matter.

He was discovered with the shoes I'm der

His colored friend being thus accused, in
the height of his indignation admins
tered series of blows upon Toney, of a
character which he will not soon forget.
The detected thief was then permitted to
escape without further punishment.

This we suppose will follow the appropria-
