An ITEM.-Our streets were dull on
Wednesday evening. Merchants were anx-
iously awaiting commercial nibble and
were all aglow at the slightest symptom OF
selling yard or two of Calico Clerks
kept their heads at work in the vain at
tempt to look busy, and everything was on
the rapid road to ennui when, thank the
stars rumble was heard on Main street,
and it was soon ascertained that a negro
and couple of mules had taken compass
sion on the public and gotten up small
size runaway. All was joyful excitement
for moment, but it was soon dispelled,
for IN q most incredibly short time cuffee
was seen calmly driving his team sans
nothing but his hat And quiet reigned in

THE WLMINaTON AND WELDON RAn
RoAp.-=-In recent issue of the New York
South the following notice Of this road
was published:
The Wilmington and Weldon Rail Road
from Wilmington to Weldon is 163 miles
long. The country through which this
road passes is level pine region. 1t has
been described as country of "intermina-
BILE pine forests, dotted with swamps, and
| trayersed by numerous streams, all running
eastward On this road you cross the
Neuse River, at Goldsboro, the Tar River,
at Rocky Mount, and the Roanoke River,
| at Weldon 1t is great mistake that peo-
pie make in supposing that there is little
business done on this line, except the gath
ering of turpentine and manufacturing of
tar. This road passes through the best
cotton sections of the State. On all sides
of the road for miles distant one cannot
but observe signs of great prosperity
Comfortable dwelling houses, and even
some very handsome villas, meet the eye.
A few manufactures are carried on;
large cotton factory at Rocky Mount. I'M
migrants are being located on the road,
one colony at Camera, and We understand
from Col. Brink, who has located the colo
ny, that all are well pleased. There are
any amount of good lands uncleared on
this route. This road connects at Weldon
with the Northern bound trains on the Sea
board & Roanoke Railroad, and Richmond
& Petersburg Railroad, at Wilmington with
Southern bound trains on the Wilmington,

is known as the Great Atlantic Coast Line.

SLIGHTED. recent number of the New
York South was devoted entirely to a
sketch of North Carolina and it's material
resources and advantages, but failed to
mention that there was such a place as
Tarboro and such fine farming lands as are
to be found in Edgecombe county.
We would remind that journal that no
section of our State can boast of more
scientific or practical farming than our
county, and that history of North Caro-
lima is incomplete, that has no mention of
one of the Oldest, most thrifty and most
beautiful towns within it's borders. The
South ought to edo up" North Carolina
agan. 1t might devote chapter to this
section proftably.

Hygiene Our Constable seems to be
really in earnest about keeping the street
cutters open, and we hear has done so
with but little expense, but there are other
duties that require his peculiar attention
at this season of the year. He should see
that not only the streets were kept clear
of trash and filth, but that private lots
were not permitted to effect the health of
the public. If the hygenic ordinances of
the town were always vigorously inforced
a large proportion of sickness might be
prevented. Citizens should not object to
an inspection of their premies, but do all
in their power towards the furtherance OF
the health regulations. Clean up all the
rubbish accumulated during the winter and
use lime freely. Remember an ounce Of
preventive is worth a pound of cure

New ORGAN.-We take pleasure in di-
recting the attention of those contemplating
purchasing an organ to the new instrument
recently purchased by the Presbyterian
church of this place. The great desidera-
tum of an organ is the combination of
volumn with sweetness of sound, that the
room may be filled and yet that it may not
CRATE harshly upon the ear. We think
these two qualities happily meet in the
New Haven instrument, being of a pecu-
liarly sweet tone and rich and full in vol
umn. The mechanical work upon the in
strument seems Ito be of the best quality,
which, taken in connection with musical
merit, renders it one of the cheapest organs
before the public. t8Efs
The manufacturers are the "New Haver
Organ Co." New Haven, Ct, from whom
descriptive circulars can be had by applica
ton. Correspond with this company be
fore buying elsewhere. pr. .rHlS. #a

FIRE.-It is said that fires never come
singly in our midst That there seems to
be sympathy that prevents isolated in
stances. Whatever be the cause, sympa-
thy, coincidence or what not, it does seem
to be true that we never have one fire with
out another following very close upon its
heels. Thus we had fire at Mr.. Sizer's
on Monday week and its consort came
night before last.
At o'clock Thursday morning, the hour
when 1--WE should suppose) the baby had
ceased squalling and parents were dream
ing of blessings upon Mrs. Winslow, at
at least, the hour when (the Doctors say
the physical frame is weakest and should
not be disturbed, the lusty tones of our
watchmen and the rapid ringing of the
Court House bell, peeling the alarm of
fire, aroused the dreaming community of
Tarboro' to the fact there was danger of
their :" roasting like herring unless they
speedily vacated their beds and ran to the
rescue. Fearing roasting more than bad
colds there was soon collected a huge and
varigated assembly, in costumes that
would rival the military squadron of the
redoubtable Falstaff, hatless, bootless and
coatless, and all hallooing and shouting
"Fire," with imminent danger of bursting
those "cyhndrical, cartilaginous and men,
branous tubes, ON the median line, before
the vertibral column, and extending from
the inferior part of the larynx to the third
dorsal yertebra, called the treacheae, or,
vulgarly, the windpipes.
The fire was discovered to be a small
store room belonging to Messrs. E. G.
Hales & Co., on the opposite side of the
river, and was so far gone before the crowd
assembled that it was impossible to save
it or its contents, barrel or two of pork,
little -four and some molasses. The prop
erty was fully insured, Origin of the fire
unknown.

The Cheese Interest.

The growth OF cheese making in this
country may be inferred from The fact that
l0l, lO9, 200 pounds of cheese were ex.
ported to England. last year, or nearly a
million pounds more than the entire
amount manufactured in this country III
1860. This vast English demand Is
attributable 10 the low prices at which
the best qualities can be made and sold
here compared with cost OF cheese OF
similar character made in England. One
growing feature in the cheese trade
observable from year 10 year in this
country, as we'll as in England. is that
buyers, as rule, are more careful in their
selections as to.quality color, favor, firm
ness. and soundness Of condition. Soft.
damadged, or interior cheese are less sal
able, even at reduced prices. than they
were few years ago. As our quality
improves, consumers become educated
in their tastes and cannot 60 back TO
poor article, which, before they learned
of better things. was not so much noticed.
Dealers. too. find tha. good cheese moves
more easily than poor. and, as general
rule. is disposed of without loss On the
other hand, few turns at purchasing
dead BEATS" even at low prices, often
make sad inroads on profits; and when
heavy losses are sustained, they sharpen
n buyers discriminating faculties as TO
his selections in a most remarkable
degree. Our dairymen should strive by
all means to make good article, and the
sooner they recognize the fact that poor
stuff pays less and less from year to year
the better will It be for them and the
trade.

The History of a Flyer.

The recent wonderful performances Of
Goldsmith Maid, who. within week. cut
down the figures of the fastest trotting on
record 10 2:l5 l-2 and then to 2:l4 81,
have attracted so much attention, even
among those who 90 not make horse
flesh the chief topic of their conversation
and thoughts. that 1t may not be out oil
place to review the notable points Of her
career. And the biography of Goldsmith
Maid is neither an uneventful one, nor
without its morals-if four legged beasts
can be said to have morals. 1t teaches US
the old lesson that merit may 60 long
time unrecognized, that the market value
may be far beneath the real worth, and
that capricious and wayward youth
is often the prelude to steady and illus.
trious maturity.
This mare first saw the light in New
Jersey, seventeen years ago. From her
birth, in 1857, until 1868, she was the
property Of an agriculturist named Deck
er, who attempted to make his colt useful
in the line of the harrow, the plow and
the stone-drag. But the Maid never
shone as farmers maid, and she used
to rear and plunge and trolic, and once
she tangled her hind legs in whifietree
and injured them so badly that sho is still
said 10 be occasionally lame in conse.
ouence of the accident. For lame horse
it must be admitted that she trots re-
markably well.
Before arriving at the interesting age
of six, the colt used to participate in
occasional midnight races unbeknown to
her owner. After the "old man" had
