CRUDE TURPENTINE.-As was noted at the
close of our last report, the market closing with
q dull tendency, opened weak ON Friday morn
ing, with good stock in the hands of dstillers
and no disposition on their part to purchase,
and during the day yellow dip and virgin de-
clned IS cents. Since then the market has re-
NAMED steady, with a desire on the part OF re-
ceivers to effect rise when the days receipts
were small, but distiiers now fear no strin-
gency OF receipts, they will not yield TO the de-
sires but purchase when suitable quantities are
offering at what is considered fair rate.
Wednesday shippers came into the market, but
as the receipts were limited, sufficient amounts
could not be purchased unless at higher figures,
which they, to effect sales, acceded to, and the
result was an advance of Is nts on yellow dip
and virgin. To-day Thursday the market is
urn at previous days prlcos, closing quiet with
only moderate enquiry. The receipts and
sales for the week are as follows

RALEIGH, May IL.
The Radicals of the Fourth Congressional
district met in nominating convention at
franklinton to-day. The scene was an
unusually disgracefully one. Major VIM.
A Smith, Of Johnston, received the nomi-
nation on the fourth ballot. The contest
lay between Smith and Young, Jones
having Withdrawn in favor of Smith. The
majority for Smith, over Young, was
fraction of one vote. T. M. Argo was
nom mated for Elector.
The scenes were of the widest and most
stormy description. Jones and Young had
night during the Convention and the
greatest excitement was produced. The
Convention itself was perfect Bedlam.

THIS is from the WOodville RepuBH,

This is from the Woodville Republican:
For The past week we have been having
some severe rain storms, attended with
sharp lightning From different parts OF
the county we learn Of houses, stock and
trees having been struck by it. Judge Os-
good and Mr.. j. j. Fugler had very mar
row escape last Wednesday evening at
Langside plantation. They were setting at
a table in front of the fireplace when the
lightning struck the chimney, passing down
the middle, splitting it wide open from top
to bottom, tearing off several boards on
each side, shattering two windows, throw
ing down through the chimney into the
house huge lot Of bricks, and tearing off
both sides of the mantelpiece. Every nail
IN the wood work was melted about the
chimney. After all this, the current of
electricity passed on out Of an open door
way, DONG no harm, except to knock down
and stun for several minutes a woman who
happened to be in its way. Both Judge Os
good and Mr.. Fugler, altbOurh setting a
few feet IN 'front.' of the fireplace. expert
enced no other inconvenience from tba
shock except little fright and deafness.
We also learn that on Friday LAST i +rao
was struck near the dwellingRoTsS of M.
Brewer the shock being severe enongb to
shake his house from It's very foundStion
and stun several Of his family. A bird in q
cage hanging up against the wall was in
stantly killed
