NEED For FIRE DEPARTMENT.-Iti ia
the way of the world to get most of its in
formation from personal experience rather
than observation and the experience of
others. When it is raining the weather is
too bad to fix your roof and when it is clear
it dosen't need fixing, and so We go. We
have frequently called the attention of our
town authorities to their impotency in the
case of fire, but it was necessary for a fire
to come to satisfy them. 1t has come, and
had it not been for the accidental presence
of a fire extinguisher IN our midst, the very
building in which we are now writing
would probably have been in ashes, along
with scores of others and thousand of dol
lars worth of property. sEs
Tarboro' needs good hand fire engine
and hook and ladder apparatus The
Little Giant doubtless did good work, but
it did it more by the water It discharged
than the carbonic acid. AS general thing
the nozzle of the hose cannot be brought
near enough to fire to make the gas effec-
tive and the principal result is from the
water simply. asa.
We hope our town authorities will pro-
cure a good hand engine and hook and lad
der apparatus and organize fire depart
ment under the charge of discreet person,
so that at fires some one may command
with authority, instead of having the mul-
titude of self-constituted generals that al,
ways flock to fire.

FIRE-INTENsE ExCITEMENT-NARRow
EsCAPE.-That portion of Main Street ly-
ing between Church and st. James streets,
was the scene of the widest and most in
tense excitement last Monday that has
been experienced in our town for years.
About half past ten o'clock a smoke
was seen issuing from the kitchen upon
the premises of Mr.. R. A. Sizer
and Immediately the alarm of fire was
given. In an incredibly short time a
large crowd of people, white and black,
male and female, had assembled on the
spot with laudable zeal to do all they could
for the arrest of the fire and the prevention
of destruction of property. Fortunately
Mr.. ]. E. Nash, agent for the Little Giant
Fire Extinguisher had left one of his en-
gines here which was soon on the spot and
actively at work, assisted by a Kitchen
force pump and scores of water buckets.
1t was soon ascertained to be impossible
| to arrest the flames upon the burning Euild-
ing, which was an old pine structure and
burned like tinder, and all attention was
directed toward the residence which was
within fifty feet of the burning building
and in the most imminent danger, a stiff
wind blowing almost in the direction of it.
The streams from the engine and force pump
were turned upon the house and numerous
buckets conveyed water to the garrett
After vigorous work for half an hour un-
der the most intense heat, the flames began
to subside and the water was again turned
upon the burning mass which was easily
extinguished.
The heroic conduct of our citizens on
the occasion is worthy of remark. Had it
not been for their vigorous work and self
abnegation and fearless daring, our town
might to-day be lamenting the loss of a
hundred thousand dollars worth of proper
ty. To Messrs. John W. Gotten, Sam1 s.
Nash, ]. c. Allen, H. NJ. Williams, and
others too numerous to mention, our town
owes deep gratitude. Our colored citi-
zens too did their duty with their usual
zeal, working actively and cheerfully
where they had but little personal interest,
and deserve the thanks not only of Mr.. 81.
zer, but of the entire community.
The fire is supposed to have originated
by carelessly leaving in the kitchen store
piece of wood which was too long, and
which having burnt in two fell upon tht
floor aud caught the house on fire whil'
she cook was out
The loss occasioned by the fire wal
small. Four or five hundred dollars per
haps being the limit.

FUNERAL OF GOV. H. T. CLARK
LARGE coNcoURsE OF CITIZENS.
Stores Closed
MASONIC PROCESSION.


The funeral services of Gov. II. I. Clark
came off on yesterday. At 10 O'Clock the
bell of Calvary Church began to ring and in
short time large crowd in carriages and
on foot, had assembled at the late residence
of the deceased. After short interval the
procession of the Masonic fraternity, of
which the deceased was an old and honor
able member, arrived, and the. sad cortege
began its march to the place of burial. At
the Church the burial services of the Epis-
copal Church were read and the body was
then conveyed to the grave where, after
the completion of the religious services,
the impressive ritual of the Masonic frater
nifty was used. The number of Masons
present attested the esteem in which they
held their deceased brother.
The crowd in attendance upon the fu-
neral was, perhaps, the largest ever assem-
bled on similar occasion in our commu-
nifty. Every place of business in our town
was closed, with not one exception that we
are aware of, and everything was done to
show honor to our deceased fellow citizen.

GUANo ORDISASoE.-We found the fol-
lowing posted on trees about town. In a
matter that so vitally effects the interest of
certain citizens of our community would it
not be better for the town authorities to
insert such ordinances in the papers?
The Commissioners of the town of Tarboro'
do ordain, as follows: i q
SEC. /. That no person or persons, un-
less with special permission in writing from
the Commissioners, shall be permitted to
store or keep within the corporate limits of
said town, any Guanos or other coneentra-
ted manures offensive to the smell or detri-
mental to the public health, under a PEN
atty of twenty dollars ($20) for each and
every days violation of this ordinance.
SEC. 2. This ordinance shall take effect
and be in full force on the goth of April
A. D., 1874.
Test r. WHrTEHURsT, Clerk.
April 8th, 1874.
This ordinance we regard as unneces-
sary, and in one or two instances that we
know of it works positive injustice. If
guano is made nuisance, the town au-
thorities have always the right to abate it,
but it has no right to interfere in matter
that furnishes so considerable an item OF
commerce in our community, until it has
been clearly proven to be nuisance and
injurious to the health of the town. With
the exception of Raleigh and Tarboro', We
know Of no other place where the storage
of Guano is considered detrimental to pub.
lie health.

your attention to the fact that the Com
missioners of this County have not publish
ed the annual receipts and disbursements
for the county for several years past, and
believing there is corruption among the
county officials, we deem it but just that
they should be indicted for not carry

ed to do so in future for the general public

FEMALE AcADEMY.-The attention of

of the Tarboro' Female Academy, Mrs.

country friends will consider the merit of
this school and patronize it. 1t is folly in
us to send the young daughters of the
county off to boarding schools while we
have one in our midst much better perhaps
in many particulars than the one to which
they are sent.

CIsTERNs. is argued qy medical men
OF eminence that large proportion of the
endemics of Eastern North Carolina is due
to the impure water that is used, and that
if cisterns were in general use the sickness
would be greatly diminished. Cases are
quoted in our own town where cisterns
have been used and there has not been a
case of chills for seven or eight years. If
it is fact that cistern water is 50 condu-
Give to health it should command the at
tention of our citizens as well as town au-
thorities. .....
If the town would subscribe half the
cost we doubt not the balance could be
raised by private subscription to build a
10000 gallon cistern on the Court House
square. Mr.. Teel's building, as well as
the Court House, could perhaps be made
subservient towards supplying the cistern,
which would furnish surface enough to fill
it in short time. Let the matter be can

THE SEABoARD s. RALEIGH RAILROAD
The SURVEY COMPLETED TO RALEIeH-
The RECEPTION OF THE ENGINEERS BY THE
RALEIGH BOARD OF TRADE AND BUSINESS
MEN.-We take the following in regard to
the survey of the 8. & r. r. r. from the
Raleigh News of the 13th inst 1t will be
seen that the entire route has been survey
ed, and that there is an energy on the part
of the projectors of the enterprise that
augurs well its successful issue. We have
no doubt that there is a considerable lack
of interest on the part of good number of
our people from want Of confidence, but
they cannot deny that the road would be
of considerable benefit to them if compile
ted, and hence they should give the matter
attention. They could perhaps SUBJ
scribe their stock in such way as to defer
payment until the road was completed
through their vicinity. The enterprise is
certainly worthy of attentive consideration.
The News says: .-aa. .
An article in our paper of few days
ago announced the arrival in Rocky Mount
of Maj. Henry ]. Rogers, Captain D. P.
McCorkle and Captain Poiteaux, topo-
graphical engineers, who are engaged in
surveying the line of the Seaboard and
Raleigh Railroad. The engineers left
Rocky Mount about ten days ago, taking
the shortest practical route to this city, a
distance of about forty miles. Friday
Maj. A. G. Lee, of the Raleigh Board of
Trade, went out to meet the engineers, and
found them in five miles of the city. Yes
terday they rushed through and reached the
city limits about 81 o'clock p. m. The
engineers seemed particularly well pleased
| with the section they passed through from
Rocky Mount to this city, and found only
one person that opposed the proposed rail-
road; that person was an old lady who
knew her chickens would all be killed by
the cars, and strenuoutly opposed any sur
vey through her premises. The farmers
all along the route not only favor the road,
but are willing to lend their aid and mite
to complete it. At Williamson, Tarboro'
and Rocky Mount, the people were almost
unit in favor of the rosd, and seem par
| ticularly desirous of an immediate railroad
connection with the Metropolis.
We spent two days in Tarboro' the past
week where we met large number of far
mers and other business men. We con-
versed freely on the subject of the new
road, and we have yet to see or hear of the
first man that opposes its construction
From these facts we are led to believe that
with the hearty cooperation of our bust
ness men, (who are more to be benefited
than any one else) the Seaboard and Raj
eigh Railroad will soon be in the course Of
construction. The people along the line
want the rosd; they desire connection
with Raleigh, are willing to aid in the con
struction of the road and reasonably ex
pect Raleigh to subscribe its proportional
share of the stock
As above stated, the Engineer Corps ar
rived within the city limits yesterday eve
ming when they were met by q deputatiol
of our citizens and escorted to the Yarbo
rough House. They were accompanied b.
Messrs. Moore, Pender and Daniels, O
Edgecombe, as Assistants.

GoNE.-It is seldom that we are called
on in one issue to chronicle the death of
two such men as DR.. J. J. Philips and Gov.
II. T. Clark. We do not pretend to re-
count their virtues, that we leave to the
loving hands of more competent friends,
but simply announce the fact that two of
our citizens are gone, two whose positions
it will be hard to fill, two gentlemen of the
old school, who were beloved and respec-
ted by their fellow citizens, and who have
left their children the best of all heritages,
an honored name and an unsullied reputa-
ton. In these sad and degenerate days no
county can afford to lose two such sons as
DR.. Philips and Gov. Clark. Peace to
their ashes
