An Insane HrIdegrooIl.

On Tuesday wedding party arrived ut
the Delevan House from Lake George
They were from New York, and had been
on tour of about weeks duration. The
married couple were accompanied by
sister of the bride and some other acquan-
lance, and all seemed happy enough until
they reached this city. During the day
the bridegroom manifested decided re-
pugnance to his wife. He threatened to
use her violently if she camo near him.
His strange conduct led his friends TO think
he was insane, and this idea was strength
ened by the fact that he had been in that
condition some five or six years ago. All
attempts to reconcile the man to his wife
were vain. No one could quiet him at all
except the brides sister. When she came
near him he would sit down and cease to
be boisterous for time. He rapidly grew
worse, however, and in the evening locked
himself in his room and threatened to
shoot any person who might make the at
tempt to enter. His friends were alarmed
at this state of affairs, and called upon Mr..
Leland to interfere. He did SO, and was
compelled to force the door before gain
ing admittance. The man was found to
be raving crazy. More help was called for,
and after desperate struggle the insane
man was bound with cord to prevent him
from doing injury to himself or others
The whole party took the night train for
Now York The bride was inconsolable in
consequence of the sac condition Of her
husband. She wept bitterly, and her
friends and others who saw her feared that
she, too, might become insane. Altogether
it was sad ending of q honeymoon.

Nominations for 1879.

A few papers here and there, with more
enthusiasm than discretion, are parading
the names of certain distinguished gentle
men as favorite candidates for President
and Vice President GRANT has hardly
become accustomed to his seat, and his
Cabinet is yet in disorganized condition,
still leading Republican papers, disguised
with his nepotism and glaring incompe-
tency. are casting about them for his sue
cessor.
The Raleigh Standard, in a leading
article, announces General GRANT and
Governor HOLDEN as its favorites for
President and Vice-President in 1872
This is doubtless throwing tub to the
whale, in order to tickle the vanity Of the
Governor and in the higher aspirations
forget or neglect to urge his claims for the
Senate. This rise may be good, but the
Governor will prove as shrewd as General
Abbott, if the lattor is sharp Yankee.
HOLDEN may be good enough to lead
Southern Radicals, where they are sadly
in need of intelligent material, but his
"rcbel record would stink in the nostrils
Of the loyal North.
General HANCOCK and Chief Justice
CHASE are the only names now spoken OF
as Democratic candidates. But it seems
to us to be ridiculous for papers to express
opinions as to men when none of the
issues of that campaign have yet been
joined. Probably the people of the United
States will then be called upon, at the
ballot-box, TO save from overthrow their
form of government, or failing in that, to
defend it at the point of the bayonet. IL
is worse than idle at this time even to
speculate in regard to candidates of either
party.

CI;ut0n Female Institute.

Dear Journal: It was with much pleas.
dents Of the Clinton Female Institute last
week and witnessed their proficiency
Clinton is likely to be, with her male
school under Messrs. Grady and Mcleod,
and female under Rev. n. T. and Mr.. Thos.
Graves place for learning and education.
1t has advantages of healthiness and good
society and unitedness among the people
to foster and promote these schools A
large increase is expected next session.
They deservedly merit it. The exercises
were interesting. To hear the young la
! dies and little girls recite, read their prose
and poetry pieces and their excellent COM
positions, afforded more pleasure than ]
ever felt before at an examination. I have
attended many. The reading was excel
lent and showed careful training. I heard
the learned Davis McRae read, and these
appeared equal to his. For distinct articn
lation, correct emphasis and simple nat
uralness, they could scarcely be excelled
Two classes read fer prizes. It was diff
cult to discriminate. In the second class
Eliza Moseley, Matte Bizzell and Emma
Roberts were adjudged the best, and in
the first Susan E. Faison and Amelia Her
ring .....
The compositions were capital. Two of
them delighted me especially, Home
and Mother" by Miss Jane Nance, and the
Adornment of Woman" by Miss Amelia
Herring. They are worthy of publication.
The little girls class, taught by Mrs.
Rob't e. Moseley, performed their part
well; they responded promptly and dis
tinctly. The exercises were interspersed
with vocal music that charmed.
The colloquies of the young ladies on
their Philosophy and Chemistry were very
interesting and instructive.
The classes in Arithmetic and Algebra
examined by Mr.. Thos. Graves, showed
thorough teaching, and the Latin class
also exhibited rapid progress for the time
they had been studying. Look out, boys,
the girls will get ahead of you.
There was only one graduate-Miss Sa-
rah Moseley. Others were prepared, but
preferred taking the Medal" course.
Two addresses were made. One by N.
Il. Graves, Jr. Subject, Attention Ne
cessary to Success" 1t was good and well
delivered. The other by Rev. Mr.. Wood,
of Magnolia Circuit. It was very appro-
pirate and elected general admiration
He argued the necessity of different
course of education in these altered cir
cumstances of our country; that much de-
pended upon female education. He spoke
of the statesmen and orators of the coun-
try-Webster, Clay and Calhoun-of fam
ed warriors, of Hannibal, Alexander, b.
naparte, Washington, the lamented Jack
son, of Lee, and last but not least, Davis.
When that name sounded it touched q
chord in the bosom Of the audience that
defied restraint and brought applause.

Since the drowning of the little boy,
Charles Striblen, In Fall Greek ON Thurs
day, an active search was Instituted for the
success. On Saturday night Mr.. Bess,
who is in tho employ of Mr. Haugh, an I'M
Gle of the boy, and who had been engaged
in searching for the remains, dreamed that
he saw the body under the water at q point
where the creek makes bend, some dis
lance below where the lad was drowned.-
He awoke from his nap, and after tossing
uneasily for several hours, fell asleep
again, and had the same dream. The vi
vid recollection impressed him so deeply
that he got up at daylight and went to the
spot indicated in his dream. There, to his
astonishment, he beheld The dim outlines
of the body, floating beneath the surface
of the water, rising and sinking OF inter-
walls, precisely as he saEz it in his dreams.
He soon brought the body out of the water
and it was restored to his grief-stricken
mother Indianapolis Sentine..s 9Th inst

Trucker Convention.

The Wilson PLaindealer. in endorsing
our proposition that the Truck and Fruit
growers of this section hold II meeting be-
fore the commencement Of the next season
to take into consideration questions in re-
gard to the shipment and sale OF their pro
duce in Northern markets, proposes the
occasion of the Fair of the Cape Fear Agri-
cultural Association next Fall as the proper
time. We regard the suggestion as very
good. Most of the truckers will be here
at that time any how, and all of them
should be, and beside these, many other
important matters could be discussed. The
experience of one another could be given,
and the soil, cultivation, manures, pack
ing and shipment could be thoroughly de-
bated, and ali would be benefited by the
interchange of views. We hope some OF
them will take the lead i'll this matter, and
have the proposed Convention.

MILITARY BALL.-The Commencement
Ball, given by the Cadets of the Cape
Fear Academy on Monday night, to theil
young friends in this city, deserves more
than passing notice. We have seldom
witnessed scene of more surprising love
| illness and beauty. Their Hall was beau
tifully decorated with military emblems
and portraits, and the walls were grace
! fully festooned with evergreens. The
cross swords and muskets arranged around
in military order indicated that those i'm
PIGMENTS of drill were put aside for the
OCCASION, and all went merry as the mar
riage bell"
Young girls in oil the joyfulness OF
youth, just free from the restraints OF
school, attended by their youthful gallants,
sped through the mazes of the dance-the
grace of their step only less attractive than
the innocence and purity of their hearts.
speaking through the bright glances OF
the eye and the happy smile of the face.
Ii was indeed lovely sight to witness
the young people of our city in the full
abandon of innocent and happy enjoy.
ment, closing their school year of toll and
confinement with an evening of unalloyed
until very late hour, when the delighted
company dispersed.
The advantages of a school cannot all be
gathered from the Rotations to the
teacher or upon examination day, nor
are all the benefits derived from the
perusal of text books. There are i'm
pressions made upon the youthful mind
by contact with the teacher and with as
sociates, which go far towards forming
the character of the matured man or
woman. Upon the play ground, on the
streets, everywhere, these influences will
follow the pupil for good or evil If we
may Judge from the gentlemanly bearing
and decorum which characterized the con-
duct of the Cadets upon this occasion, or
the refined courtesy and polish with which
their attentions were received by the
young misses, we would say that the ex-
animation to which the Military Ball sub
jected the gay participants was quite as
satisfactory as those which W have wit
messed i'll the recitation rooms.
We wish them all a pleasant vacation
and a return to another session of profitable
industry and study.
