MARROW EsCAPE,-We learn from the
Washington Echo THAT Mr. Fred F Hanks,
Engineer of the steamer Northeast, while
that steamer was within a few miles of
her deck, and would have in all probability,
been drowned, had it not been for the
timely arrival Of the Cotton Plant, which
picked him up. It seems that the two
boats were racing, and had ON full steam.
The Northeast, being in advance nearly q
mile, was going at such speed as to prevent
her from turning back and reaching the
unfortunate man IN time, and Immediately
blew four whistles of distress, and was an
swered by the Cotton Plant, which reached
our young friend, we are rejoiced to say,
in time to save him from Watery grave

Economy in Dress.
Editors Southerner-Enquirer:

The ladies of the Little Creek Grange
have concluded to purchase no other goods
except calico for the purpose of making
dresses. Thinking thus to econom1Ze.
A calico dress is neat looking; and is by
far the most convenient, and cheapest dress
worm 1t is made Of cotton, therefore the
Southern ladies should be proud to wear it.
Calico is generally considered a common
article, and many will not wear it Oh that
account; but dare say girls have worn
handsome dresses, when their fathers were
not free from debt. How independent to
feel that your dress is paid for, even If it is
Calico.
Ladies, throw aside the idea of being
milliners, signs and merchants drays.-
Woman was intended to fill nobler sphere
So go to work with set determination to
do all you can to assist your husbands and
fathers in curtailing expenses, and remem-
Der that dress is not the only thing that con-
stitutes lady, but a head full of practical
ideas, a mind we'll cultivated, graceful
manners, industrious and neat habits, an
economical disposition and best of all a pure
| heart, which will beat as tanderly beneath
a calico dress as if robed IN most delicate
| fabric.

WILLIAM BAGLEY, son Of ID. w. and
Elizabeth Bagley, was born February 8th,
1924, entered into rest January 18th, 1875,
in the 5lst year Of his age.
The memory of the just is blessed, Prov. z,7.
The influence of a good and holy life is
never lost. As the ripple on the bosom Of
the placid lake undulates from shore to
shore, so the SAVIOR of christians life is
felt through boundless eternity. Such an
influence has been left by William Bagley.
He was converted to God in his 18th year,
two years thereafter he Joined the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church. For more than 80
years he enjoyed communion and inter
course with her people, exercising the tai
ents God had given him for His glory, and
at last he sank to rest in her folds, beloved
by all who knew him. The prominent
points of his character were his deep and
abiding trust in Jesus as an all sufficient
Saviour, and such hold had the religion of
Christ On his soul, that the weak points,
and defects of his nature were ObScured,
and the beautiful loneliness of his life I'M
pressed all who knew him. His walk was
consistent, his christian principles well de-
fined; he was quiet, polite, transformations;
the theme Of his every day conversation was
the mercy and goodness Of God. The earn
est desire of his heart and the burden of his
prayers, sswas the conversion OF sinners, and
the prosperity of Zion. To those with
whom he vas at all intimate, the subject
of their personal salvation was tenderly, and
affectionately pressed upon them. Who
can estimate his worth? a Prince IN
Israel has fallen; life's battle has been we'll
fought, and the faithful soldier of Christ,
Victorious, has gone to receive his reward.
ellis summoned breath went forth as
peacefully
AS folds the spent rose when the day IS
done.
Without sigh,
| A change of feature, or q shaded smile,
He gave his hand to the stern messenger,
And, as a glad child seeks its Father house,
| Went home.
Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep.
The gifted Thomas Lowe, in funeral
sermon over adeparted saint, said, "With-
out gainsaying, Methodist die we'll. His
was not triumphant rejoicing over th'
last enemy conquered, but Gods hero, firm
ly trusting in the promises of the Gospel
laid his head on the bosom Of Jesus, anC
breathed his last out sweetly there.
We shall listen no more to his holy coun
sells, 10 more feel his strong grasp of friend
ship, no more mingle our voices with hi
in singing the songs of Zion here, but VI
trust to meet him around the throne Of Goo
and Of the Lamb, and join with him there
in singing that new song which the redeem
ed alone shall sing in heaven.
'And [ heard voice from heaven, say
ing unto NE, write, Blessed are the deat
which die in the Lord, from henceforth
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may res
from their labours; and their works dt
follow them"

TAR RIVER NAVIGATION Cove are
requested by the President to contradict ru-
mors which have been circulated by certain
parties to the effect that the steamer North
east would shortly discontinue her trips,
and to state that the company is more de-
termined now than ever to keep the boat
on the river In this connection, we would
also remind the public of the necessity of
sustaining this enterprise. The Tar River
Navigation Company was organized to pro-
tect the people of this section against exor-
bitant freights. 1t is home enterprise
and it is the duty of the people along the
river to sustain it. If the Old Dominion,
which is now making every effort which a
monopoly can to run the boat off, is allow
cd to do 50, they may look for unheard OF
charges for transportation of their produce.
It is matter of dollars and cents to Them
and if the present .enterprise is allowed tx
go by the board, good by, John ! NJ
such available chance will ever be Offered
them again. Now or never.

BURGLAEY.-A colored individual whose
name we have forgotten, by means of a
false key entered the store of Mr.. S. Wool
lard on Water Street one night this week.
In divesting the money drawer cf its con-
tents, he concluded to appropriate 1Ir.
Woollards pocket knife (which happened
to be in there also. Next evening his con-
duct excited suspicion and in the search
which followed, the knife and other arti-
cles which were identified by Mr. w. as
his property, were found in Lis possession.
Thereupon Justice Taylor committed him
to jail to await the coming of his Honor,
Judge Hillard, who has little fondness for
rogues and who will doubtless give him
quarters in the Civil Rights Hotel at Raleigh
for few years. He deserves it.
