that occurred at that place a few nights
ago, in which q well-knoWn Radical, who
does honors (?) to several public offices, in
the capacity of y. $. Revenue Assessor,
Colonel Of Holden's Militia and as Probate
Judge and Magistrate of Johnson county,
is said to have played the part commonly
known by the name of "Horse thief"
Our informant gives us the following
particulars: "a few evenings ago, drov
er. named Honeymoon, entered Smithfield
with a, drove of fine horses and camped
there that night. But, the following
morning five OF his horses were missing
The thieves were pursued and after a long
chase the horses recaptured. Chas. Il.
Snead, and his nephew, named Cox, were
arrested, charged with having stolen them !;
the latter turned States evidence against
SDead and another fellow whose name is
YelVerton. The matter had caused consid-
erable excitement. Yelverton made good
his escape and Colonel Snead had pre-
liminary examination before his brother
in law. Justice Massey, who, after hear
ing the evidence, which was plain and con-
victive, released Snead on bail in the sum
of $500. The bail bond. it is said, is con-
sidered by all who are acquainted with the
bOndsmen as wortble5s-straw- ball.

DEATH OF Rev. ". a. WHEELER is
with sincere regret that we announce the
death of Rev. VIM. H. Wheeler, of the
North Carolina Methodist E. Conference.
His demise occurred on Christmas Day, at
one o'clock, at his fathers residence N
Leesburg, Caswell county.
Mr. Wheeler was we'll known in this city,
and the announcement of his death Will
create profound sorrow, not only among
the members OF the Methodist Church, but
among those of all other denominations
He was in very feeble condition when he
attended the annual Conference, in this
city, q few weeks ago, and one of the most
affecting scenes We ever witnessed, OCCUR
red in the body while it was discussing his
falling health. Many of onr citizens will
remember the incident alluded to. -

EEr. S4anton's funeral.

The funeral of Edwin M. Stanton at
Washington yesterday was marked by a
want Of parade that distinguished it from
the burial Of men Of his reputation and
position at the Federal Capital since the
war. At the urgent request of his wife
the coffin was screwed down before the
public could have an opportunity Of look
ing at his remains. In accordance with
his expressed wishes, there we're no mill
tary uniforms visible in the procession, and
policemen, in the absence of soldiers, were
detailed to preserve order and prevent in
reference on the part of the crowd with
the programme of ceremonies. The coffin
OF the deceased was in keeping with the
features of the funeral already noticed,
being made of mahogany and covered with
cloth There we're attached to it eight sif-
yer handles, which. with trimming OF
simple black silk fringe, constituted the
ornamentation, except that on the lid was
a silver plate bearing the inscription

Il Thrilling Sccne-Blc Rdiu and hi
Bicycle on tEae tight Rope.

%NOSS
An English paper thus details thrilling
affair which occurred lately during one of
BIondin's exhibitions:
After he had crossed in d sack, stood on
e chair, and had done some Of his minor
feats, it was found that the rope which
was Il new one, had slackened SO consider
ably that it would be necessary to tighten
it, il order TO allow his performing
his new and extraordinary feat of
crossing it on bicycle, and he was.
therefore. compelled to appeal to the au-
dience for time to tighten the rope. Half
on hour was asked for and cheerfully
granted. but, after the guy ropes had been
loosed and the rope tightened up, some
difficulty was found in reixing the pole to
which the guys wero attached, in conse-
quence of the tension of the rope having
dragged them forcibly out OF the ground.
Quite three-quarters OF an hour elapsed be-
fore this was done, and then Blondin ap-
penred again, and starting from the west
end of the building carried his assistant
over on his back. It was evident, from the
lowering of some ballast bags on the guy
poles, that during this passage across the
rope slackened greaC deal, but Blondin
either did not observe this or did not
think it important. for after a short inter

In March, 1869, a party OF railroad en-
gineers surveying the route Of the Missouri
Valley Railroad some six DiIes Northeast
Of Marysvijle, found tue skeleton Of a
man: An Investigation aronsed the sus-
picion that it was the remains of Calicott.
The authorities of Iowa were written to,
and witnesses were brought down. The
mother of CaIlioo:t recognized bOny pro-
tuberance on the chin Of the skeleton, also
the absence of a tooth, drawn on the day
he started on his fatal trip. and his mother
preserved the tooth. It fitted the jaw Of
the skeleton. ana dentist testified it had
been drawn from the oriice. Pieces of a
blue coat and several peculiar buttons
were found near the skeleton. These were
recognized as resembling parts of CALI
colts dress when he left home. There
were three bullet holes in the ekull.
The Id, MITIGATION was 80 complete that
McAlpine was rearrested, and after several
cOntinuances the case came to trial on last
Monday. The Judge instructed the jury
that any facts or proof of mitigating the
the crime from murder in the first degree
need not restrain their rendering verdict
in the second degree or manslaughter.
The jury, after due deliberation, brought
in verdict of murder in the second de-
gree. We learn that neither the prisoner
nor his friends or attorneys manifest any
dissatisfaction with the verdict, and the

by thus leaving them without a sovereign, had
forced them Into position of complete inde-
pendence. And now We ask our Republican
friends. who say the South was guilty of re-
bellion, if the Southern States were not
co-equal States when they commenced the
Revolutionary war, and as that war was sue
cessfnl, would ask il the States lost any of
their former rights on account OF their sue
cess, or will they attempt to make their read
ers believe that the Revolutionary war was
fought by Washington and his compatriots in
order to convert English freemen into Amer
ican slaves; or will they acknowledge they
have been advocating the cause of mistaken
policy, and under the fimsy pretext Of South
Carolina firing upon Fort Sumpter, burned
down Gosport navy yard and Harpers Ferry,
gathered an army, and pitched into Virginia
at Manassas Junction, then plunged the
country in that horrid war. aud are therefore
responsible for all its entuilmcnts. which Of
course include the public debt and conse-
quent taxation. But say some of these brain
less advocates, the South had no cause for re-
bellion. would answer, the resolutions of
1898 declare the States themselves are the
judge of the infraction as well as the mode
and manner of redress. -..
