MURDER AND RoBBERY.-On the morn
ing of Saturday, Oct 3lst, when Mr.. Robe
son of the firm of Robson 6 Mayo, went to
his store situated in this county, about /
miles from Tarboro, he found on opening
the door the bruised and bleeding body of
his clerk, Mr.. Nathan Grimes, lying stretch
ed on the floor. A short examination re-
vealed horrible and atrocious crime
The money drawer of the store containing,
money, had been robbed An axe with
blood on the eye and on the handle and a
piece of scantling, also stained with blood,
were found near the place where Grimes
was lying and three severe wounds, one on
the arm, another on the neck, and the third
on the back of Grimes head, showed that
murder was intended by the robbers to rem
der the accomplishment of their object
more easy and to prevent its discovery.
Mr.. Grimes fingered till Sunday evening
when he did. Before his death his con-
ciousness returned to him and his account
of the affair led to the arrest of Perry
Overton, white, and Noah Taylor, colored,
who are now in Jail.
Mr.. Grimes was very respectfully connec-
ted in the county and was very inoffen-
siVe young man. The residents of that
portion of the county naturally feel very
much outraged at the perpetration of so
startling q crime.

Q. s. MAn.-Complaints are frequent
about the delay in transporting the mail
from the depot to the Post Office at this
place. The distance is about half a mile,
and the time occupied in making it varies
from half hour to one hour.
1t seems hardly consistent in the p. o..
Department to be so careful in requiring
rapid transportation of mails by Railroad,
and at the same time permit the mail car
rier here to travel so leisuerly to the Post
Office.

T. THE ENTERTAINMENT LAST TUESDAY,
NIGHT. Another large and appre ciative
audinence was in attendance at Teel Hall
on Tuesday night to witness the Songs,
Dances, Fairy Scenes, &C., gotten up by
Prof Bailey, with the assistance of some
| twenty young LADIES' and children, ranging
in age from + years and upwards. The
first of the programme was the Cantanta of
Grand Pas Birthday, in which all ac-
Quilted themselves, Especially the leetle
one5) in manner that drew applause
and praise from the whole house. After
which numerous songs and dances were en-
gagged in by the little Fairies, then came
the beautiful Fairy Scenes from the
"Court of Oberon," and in the manner in
| which the little Fairies repeated their parts,
shows that they were well drilled. The
Comedy of "The Three Wishes" though
assisted by some of our old stagers, did not
elicit the praise they deserve, owing to the
fact that some of the characters had not
| sufficient notice to prepare themselves.
The Pantomine of the "Lazy Family :"
was quite amusing, and brought repeated
laughter from the audience. In conclusion
Prof Bailey deserves credit for the exer-
! tons he has made in getting up these en-
tertainments for the enjoyment of our
people.

THE WORK OF EDITING A NEWSPAPER. -
In commenting upon the failure of news
paper manager, the St. Louis Globe tells a
plain truth in the following words:
"The business of journalism will con-
tinue to be an inviting field for experiments
to those who have large amount of money
and large amount of egotism. A man
who, having edited newspaper until he
was forty, should suddenly announce him
self lawyer, would be regarded as fool
by the legal profession; and yet we often
hear of lawyers of forty making sudden
pretensions to journalism. There is an
idea that the business of editing requires
no apprenticeship, that editors come forth
from law offices and colleges fully armed
for the profession, like Pallas from the
brow of Jove. 1t is mistake; there is
not in America to-day single journalist
of national reputation who has not devoted
more time and more hard work to his pro-
fession than, with equal fitness and appli-
cation, would have made him great law
yer or a good doctor. And yet ninety out
of every hundred you meet on the street
will hesitate about carrying hod of max
ing a pair of shoes, whereas there will
probably not be one in the hundred
who can't, according to his own judgment,
edit any newspaper in the country better
! than it is edited, no matter in what manner
or by whom"

to wrigsle aud sigh, and listen to these
ghostly "reminiscences of love with grave
stone about it, when they came, in the Joy
of their egotism, to lnate of love of to-day
Surely it was Il wise as well as a witty man
who defined a bore as one who persists in
talking to you about his affairs when you
want to talk to him about yours.
1t was stated of the Siamese Twins that
they very seldom talked with each other.
What could they have to talk about? Could
anybody hold discourse with himself? 1t
is the difference in experience, tastes and
feelings that gives conversation its spice.
There is a story that two prisoners being
confined in one cell, they recounted their
lives the first year; the second year they
conhded their most secret experiences; and
the third year were silent. They had talked
themselves out. OF course the story cannot
be vouched for. 1t is simply adduced as a
warning to bridal couples contemplating the
now fashionable two weeks seclusion. -

AT THE LAST.

The stream is calmest when it nears the tide
The flowers are sweetest at the eventde,
The birds more musical at the close of day,
And saints diyinest when they pass away
Morning is lovely but holier charm
Lies folded close in Evening robe of balm
And weary man must ever love her best
For Morning calls to toll, but Night to rest
She comes from Heaven, and on her wings
doth bear
A holy fragrance, like the breath of prayer
Footsteps of angels follow in her trace,
To shut the weary eyes of Day in peace.
All things are hushed before her as she throws
Der earth and sky her mantle of repose;
There is calm, beauty, and power
That Morning knows not, in the evening hour
Until the evening" we must weep and toll
Plow life's stern furrow, dig the weedy soil,
Tread with sad feet our rough and thorny way
And bear the heat and burden of the day.
o! when our sun is setting may we glide,
Like Summer evening down the golden tide;
And leave behind us as we pass away,
Sweet starry twilight round our sleeping clay
Mystic Star
