thirty boxes of tobacco, stamped with coun
terfeit stamps. The owner of the tobacco,
Hancock by name, was indicted at Sails
bury Saturday, and Monday his factory was
seized and he was arrested. The officers are
looking for the counterfeiters of these stamps
and the counterfeits are so we'll known that
they will be of no value when inspected by
honest officers. Persons offering for sale the
tobacco so stamped will not only not Effect
their object, to evade the tax, but will lay
themselves doubly liable to prosecution.

years of the war, it became my duty to give Or
ders for artificial limbs to mutilated soldiers,
and as DIR. b. F. PALMER'S LIMBS acre great
ly preferred, large majority Of The orders soere
given on him to furnish the necessary limbs. SO
lar as my knowledge extends, the limbs furnish
ed by Dr. Palmer have given most satisfaction,
and this also is the testimony Of hospital steeards
and non-conunissio',ed officers on duty at the va
rious hospitals in my charge, who have had OPP
portunities of seeing the men after they had re-
ceived and used the limbs furnished to them
and have therefore no hesitation in saying that,

CRoPs.-In Carteret county the crops are
flourishing. Farmers expect more album
dant yield of corn, cotton and ground nuts
than at any time for the last ten years. The
country on the road from there to Colds
boro' does not appear to have suffered from
dry weather. On the line between Colds
boro' and Raleigh vegetation is suffering
and the farmers look anxiously for rain.

State fair grounds in order for the fair the
coming fall, goes bravely forward. A strong
fence has been built around the grounds,
with gates at convenient points for the in
gress of great numbers Of carriages and foot
passengers without crowding or confusion.
Five wells have been dug at different parts
of the grounds to give supply OF good
water whenever it may be needed. The
grounds are considerably larger than for
merly, and the track for the trial of speed
has been laid off half mile in length, and
the work of leveling and grading it will be
finished in few days. One of the build
ings is to be fitted up to serve temporarily
as Floral Hail. Money is still needed by

Another case of apparently brutal out
rage upon colored people has come to light,
this time in Chatham county. a colored
woman named Minnie Herndon came to this
city and made complaint that on Friday
night, August 9th, her house near Lassiter's
Cross Roads was torn down over her head.
A party of men, some 40 or so strong, came
to the house in the darkness of night and
tore off the roof from the humble dwelling,
and literally demolished the dwelling over
the heads of the affrighted inmates. Two
spinning wheels, used by the industrious
family, and most their crockery and house
hold furniture were destroyed.
The woman Minnie Herndon and her SON.
in-law VIM. Fuller were made to strip the
clothing from their backs, and were Sc
verely beaten with leather straps, and Min
ME was cut across the head and face with a
sword. When they were being beaten they
were told they could not remain at that
place, that they must leave. The active
participants in this outrage were disguised.
This is another case showing the necessity
of the law to prevent persons going masked
or disguised, against which the Ku Klux
and their friends raised shout of horror
when it was enacted by the Legislature last
winter.

= A leading and attractive feature at the
University at the term beginning August
18th, will be the Lectures by the faculty and
other distinguished gentlemen. The practi
cal lectures on the theory and practice of
teaching, will be of untold value to those in
tending to enter the profession. The State
needs ten thousand school masters to fill
places in tine free schools soon to be estab-
lished. These schools will in turn supply
students for higher grades of schools, and
popular education will rapidly advance in
this State. Ambitious young men, Deepen
dent upon their own exertions, can find no
better way in which to commence lives of
usefulness than as teachers. The course
marked out at the University gives unsurpass-
ed facilities for these young men to prepare
themselves, and at the same time furnishes
complete course to the University student.

The ERECTION OF DWELLINGS IN
ELIZABETH. AS the Spring is now
close at baud, We would call the atten-
ton of our capitalists and builders to
the necessity and increasing demand
for dwelling houses. especially small
ones. Our city is rapidly increasing
in population and wealth, but the scar
city of. and enormous high rents de.
manded for dwelling houses, is a seri-
Gus drawback to our progress. As we
have ground in abundance there is no
necessity for our being compslled to
adopt the pernicious New York tone
ment system. We hear Of many par
ties who propose during the coming
season the erection in certain parts of
our city, such dwellings as we have
suggested, but there is ample room
and requirement for many more there
will be no difficulty whatever in rent
ing them, and they will supply want
more needed than anything else in the
city Of Elizabeth The construction of
such buildings will prove sure and
safe investment, and targets renume-
rate their ownes. We should not lose
sight of the fact that Elizabeth is grow
ing rapidly in every respect, and if we
would continue our growth and pros
perity, we must provide Accommodations
for our increasing population.

The SEASON or LENr The solemn
season of Lent commences to-day
Wednesday. The day which opens
this great penitential period-the ar.
irving time of the greatest portion of
Christendom lis commonly called Ash
Wednesday, from the ceremony Of
making the foreheads OF the faithful, on
its recurrence, in every Catholic chur III,
with ashes as token Of their mortality.
1t embraces the great events III the life
of Christ--His fasts, His humiliation,
His passion, and His death and in
token of these events the ecclesiastical
ornaments on every altar are removed !;
the music becomes n varied Misercre,
and the church is seized with "a spirit
of heayiness, while she follows her
suffering Lord from Gethaan.eno to
Calvary But although tlc as9n is
eminently penisential, souc Of it's
ceremonies which mark its special days
are maryellously grand. Tbs Tonebr@,
which presents the two religious
dispensations, those ecclesiastical links
which unite the ancient and modern
worlds, is considered intrinsically more
beautiful and comprehensive than the
emblems of Christmas and Easter. 1t
is the principal features of the services
on Spy Wednesday, Maunay Tuesday,
and good Friday. In this ceremony
lights are placed on triangular Candida
bra, to represent the prophets and apos-
ties, and when all have been extinguish-
ed amid solemn chants, it denotes the
death of the leaders of the Jewish and
Christian dispensations One light,
however, towers above the rest, and it
is typical of Christ. 1t is removed, to
call to vivid remembrance the lastscene
on the cross and then great noise is
heard, TO signify the commotion of the
world at the awful event.
