Diana Turner-a colored woman, brought
to town last Saturday a curious looking fowl
that she called half chicken and halfguinea.
We reckon it was, though it looked as if it
might have had sprinkling of buzzard in
it. 1t was afinely formed towl-steel mixed
color-2 feet inch high, 2 feet 2 inches
long, feet 8 inches from tip of wing to
wing, and its head and neck 8 inches long.
1t hnd the foot of guinea and cacked very
much like that fowl. She said that
hen Matched it from guinea egg. 1t excl
ted good deal of curiosity and Diana was
offered as much as one dollar for it. She
wouldn't sell it-thinking maybe she could
get taller price. -HiHsb0ro Recorder. ORR

Interesting Phenomena.

+ During recent balloon ascension at Mem
pills, some interesting phenomena were
noted The highest altitude attained was
1860 feet, at which elevation the tcmpera-
turc was so degrees Fahr The balloon in as
cending always assumed a ,whirling motion
from right to left, while in descending it
turned from left to right. -Four good En-
glish lever watches were taken up, two of
which stopped at the height of two miles.
A very delicate pocket compass was COM
pletely dcpolarized, and though it has since
been gradually regaining its polarity, it is
still worthless. The acronaut was a con-

TOBACCO SEIzUREs.-The Collector of
Internal Revenue at Atlanta, Ga, wrote to
Commissioner Dclano that he had seized a
quantity of illicit tobacco from the Hob
son factory in the 9th North Carolina dis
trict. The Commissioner telegraphed the
fact to Supervisor Perry, and he sent a
special agent from Raleigh to look up the
matter On the road to Hobson's factory he
met wagon load of manufactured tobacco
from Peetles' factory, without stamps, which
lie seized, and then went to the factory, and
finding signs of gross fraud, seized the
factory with large quantity OF to-
bacco. He then went and seized Hob
sons factory with a quantity of tobac-
co, both manufactured and unmapufac-
tured. The seizures were made on Wednes-
day last, as recited by our informant.

ed in Jones County during the past few
years, was arrested at the dock of the Peo

lie was tried before justice Rixford, and in
default of bail was committed to Craven
county Jail. He is well known character,

SUSPICIOUS DEATH.-Mss Susan House,
a white lady OF about forty years of age,
died under suspicious circumstances at 10
o'clock last Saturday night at the resi-
dence of David Blake, eight miles north
west of Raleigh. Monday L. N. Keith,
ESQ, County Coroner, being summoned to
the spot, called jury and Investigated the
matter From the testimony it appears that
the deceased had received harsh treatment,
and the attending physician testified that
in his opinion death was fastened thereby.
There was conflicting testimony as to the
nature of the disease, the condition of the
patient, and the treatment she received.
After hearing all the evidence, the Coroncr's
jury rendered a verdict that the deceased
came to her death from chronic inflammation
of the brain, but that censure was deserved
for the harsh treatment she had received.

visited, at midnight, the house of Mr.. John G.

they can only result in trouble and Dloodshcd.-

We have the authority of Mr.. Yancey for
the statement that his honse has not been
visited by an armed force, and he has no
fears of his colored neighbors, For they are
on the most friendly terms. So the sorrow
of the Sentinel was entirely gratuitous, and

Upon examining the papers connected with the
collection Of these sums last mentioned it became
apparent that the sum paid in on account of the
delinquences of 1864 should have been appor-
toned and paid in under the separate heads Of
Estate and County Taxes and of additional 10
per cent. for delinquency. and that those for the
years 1865 and 1866 should, in each case, have
been paid in us accounts separately derived from
& State and County Taxes, - Fire Department
Tax aud additional 10 per cent. for dein-
qaency."
Paid in in the manner they have been the County
Treasurer hes been compelled to view the entire
sum for each year as derived from the delinquent
State and County taxes, and therefore to SO ap-
portion the sum as derived solely from that source
in each year.
The Auditor might have been justified by the
face of the receipts in following the same course
but having official knowledge, that portions of
each Of the amounts So paid in, came from two
three separate sources of revenue, and which
were to be appertioned on different principles
he has thought it best not to aIportion those
amounts upon his books until it be dine
rectly. and which can only be done after cal efu
ex animation Of the several delinquent lists shall
show how those aggregated amounts should be
sub-divided ding to the proper heads Of rev.
enue from which they were derived
The withholding of these sums from apportion-
ment at the present time by the Auditor necessa-
rialy produces deficiencies in the Treasures and
Auditors books as to the appor tionments, and as
TO the blan in the several funds, for the first
time since they have been in office, but these dis
crepances will cease, and the books of the two Of
fees will be made to agree again. 80 soon as an ap
portionmsnt Of these payments can be made, in
accordance to the sources from which the funds
were actually derived, and the necessary entries
be made in the books of both offices. The diff
Guilty originates entirely out of the want Of
proper sp, cfcation Of the different sources from
which the funds were derived, at the time the
payments were made; there not being the least
for surprising that the late District Attorss
ncy has not paid over every cent Of the money for
which he is accountable.

sve ef the 81 ,0S2 81 before mentioned, being
