RIOT BETWEEN SOLDIERS AND NEGROES
A special despatch to the Wilmington
Journal, dated Goldsborc, N. c., Octo-
Der "a, says:
"Our town was thrown into a state of
the widest excitement last night by n
riot, which commenced early in the even
ing and lasted until 10 o'clock p. NJ,
between the United States troops sta
toned here and the negroes. About
seventy-five guns we're fired, and ono SOL
dier and one negro were wounded. The
negroes could not stand the fires they re-
treated after the first volley. The ne
groes walked up and down the streets
cursing the damn Yankees, individually
and collectively. There is strong pro-
liability of the fight being renewed again
tonight. There were three fights. the
negroes retreating in the last"

A HARD WINTER CoadNa. Scientific
men, observant woodmen. old hunters
and other weather-w;se individuals pre-.
dict that the coming winter will be OF
Unusual rigor! To the West and North
west the beavers and prairie dogs have
commenced their preparations for frost
much earlier than is their wont and, on
the Atlantic coast, the frequent storms
are harbingers of the wrathful cold TO
come. The winter OF 1S59-'6O was re-
markably mild, only paralleled by the
winters of 1922. '28 and '34. Since
1959-'GO the years have been quite warm,
dry and clear, corresponding with sim
gularly light pressure of the barometer.
1t seems that we are to pay for all these
benefactions, and the winter of 1869-'7O
will tell severely upon large portions of
this country.
