STRAWBERRIES AND PEACHES. The New
York Express has the following:
with bracing snowstorm 10 progress, 1t IS
pleasant to reflect that straw berries are gener-
ally due about the first week in April, and that
they can even now be obtained for the trifng
sum of Sls per quart. The earliest cousign;
meuts of strawberries aye from Savannah, and
usually sell from 81 so down to 81 per quart,
chea reung as the spring days leDgthen, until
Jerseymen can deluge the market with them.
Tie importatoDs of peaches come somewhat
10 the same order as those of Strawberries
that is, first from Savannah, next from Charles
town, then from Norfolk, then from the ports
OF Delaware, aud finally, in the fall season,
from the rich fats of New Jersey-each sue
ceeding week opening Dew source OF supply
further to the North. This year even the
Southern States have experienced climatic Sc
verify and the usual date OF the receipt OF
fruit will be deferred, and at present 1t is only
the wealthy or the extravagant who can in
dulge 10 the luxury of fruit. 1t is related chat
two weeks ago an order was filed for one
quart of strawberries at $l3, and two ripe
beaches at $40, for wedding breakfast There
is something like revival of Midas and the
golden touch in the story, for the fruit may be
said to have been literally worth almost its
weight 10 gold"

HIDDEN TREASURE FOUND.

During the war it was the practice OF those
who we're fortunate enough to be the owners
of silver ware or valuables of any description to
hide them away in secret places 10 prevent
their being stolen aud carried away by the
..Yankees," Among those who took this pre-
caution was Mr. D q. Cofman, who resides
about three miles south southeast Of this place.
Iu the year of. S62. immediately after the first
invasion of Northern troops in this section, Mr..
C. took all of his silver table ware, consisting
of one dvzen forks, QUE d,zeu teaspoons, one
half dozen table spooos. aud oue-half dozen
desert spoous; valued at about $3.50. aud which
had been used but a short while, boxed them
up, and took them to an old blacksmith shop
which stood near his house, and there hid
them. The stirring events OF the war and do
mestic misfortune and other reverses sOon eau
sed Mr.. G. to forget entirely the place where
he had hidden bis valuables, and after mauy
diligeut and fruitless searches he gave them
up as lost, or that somo one had watched hi 10
when hiding them and stolen them. Since
the war Mr.. C,ffmau sold that portion Of his
farm on which the blacksmith shop stood to
Mr.. Martin Varuer, and Imagine his surprise
wheu one day last week, whilst blowing over the
ruins of the old shop, he unearthed the hidden
treasure. They were found to be almost as
bright and untarnished as they were the day
when hidden. MIR. Varner mu uediately restor
ed the property to their owner. The words OF
old Kasper to his graodcbid Wilhelmine are
suggested to US in this connection:
81 find them in the garden,
For there's many here about;

A SEAL IN THE HARBoR.- Yesterday after
noon considerable interest was created 10 the
vicinity of the wharyes of Locust and Feis'
Point by the appearance of a seal 10 the river.
It would come to the surface at frequent inter
walls and disport gaily around until some pass.
ing vessel would pass near enough to alarm
the creature when it would dive down and re-
main under the water until it would be safe to
venture up again. From Henderson, aud
Chase's wharves its tics were witnessed by
large number Of persons. 1t was also seen
early yesterday morning quite near the steam
ship piers at Locust Point When first seen
the animal was supposed to be dog, but its
actions soon disclosed its character. No efforts
were made to capture the seal, owing to the
want of means for the purpose. Mention has
been made of seals having been seen 10 New
York Bay for the last few weeks, bu, this is
the first instance related of one having ap-
proached SO near Baltimore, though they have
been seen IN Chesapeake Bay.-Bahimore

The decision of the Supreme Court

The decision of the Supreme Court
i'll the case of the fnircraity rs. Nc
Irer is a cause for heartfelt con-
graduation to every we'll wisher of
North Carolina. The University is
once more in the hands of ats friends,
beggared it is true aud despoil~d of
its revenues, it's buildings dismautled
and its grounds desolate, but tor all
that still dear and still warmly cher
i,hed in his heart of hearts by every
true North Carolinian.
Yes The University is once more
in the power of its friends. Solomon
Pool is no longer master there and
can no longer write himself it's "Presl
dent" and this is matter OF congratu-
lation. But not only is the hand OF
her enemy taken from her throat. Her
friends may now strech forth their
hands and raise her from the shame
and disgrace and degradation Ill
which she has been sunk for seven
wears. And this is a cause not Tor
congrafulat alone but for sens
of great responsibility as we'll and for
brave unfilnt hing determination.
But the task of rebuilding the Unit
versity and restoring it to its former
high estate will be no easy one. Time
and patience and labor and money and
zeal, unfagging zeal and untirlng de-
yotion will all be needed. But truly
the object ie a noble one. 1t may we'll
be the highest ambition of any North
Carolinian to have it go into history
that he was instrumental IN the resto-
ration of our University to it's former
reputation and usefulness; for long
generations to come will bear him
III grateful remembrance.
Fortunately at the head of the Board
Of Trustees. just declared by the Su-
preme Court of the State to be the
lawful guardians of the University We
have one Of North Carolina's most
d stingnished sons, one who, perhaps,
m ore eminently than any other citizen
of the State, combines ID his own
p4rson all those excellencies of head
and heart that are essential to the po'
sition. And in saying this we only say

can spirit existed in favor of the en-
reimbursement of these citizens, and a
| bitter spirit existed against their en-
reimbursement. The leader of the
former was ex- Senator Henderson
The leader of the latter was Mr.
Shurz, then only six months in
the State, and domiciled there avow-
edly to get into the Federal
office. Mr.. Schrrz's success on 70
narrow and proscriptive a platfor N,
before he was able to be a voter in the
State, rnortally offended the people,
and rightfully incensed them toward
him. Finally, by trade between tie
Henderson and Gratz Brown Republi-
cans and few Democrats able to vote,
enfranchisement was secured. After
it was secure, and not before, Mr..
Schurz hberaliZed. It was not too
late for his fame, but it was too late
for the working of himself into the
good graces of the people of the State,
aud totally outraged people are impla-
cable. All of Mr.. Schurz's logical ar
gument and mediative eloquence
against carpet -baggers have been ve-
toed IN Missouri minds by the fact
that he himself was the most fragrant
aud proscriptive carpet bagger of the
period not long ago. For these reasons
will represent Missouri
for the rest of this generation, unless
the United States Government
squelches them by military power as
it did III J ouisiana.

The word " loyal is again coming

loyalty to the Constitution or the

SAYS that the banditti" of our day
are a community of the people who

deprived of the rights of citizens of a

State of Pennsylvania. In one county,
Alleguaney, where the Republicans are
il the majority, a population of 240,-
900, forty murders have been commit
ted IN the past four years. A Pitts

an entire family of FIVE persons were
brutally murdered. Three months
ago five Italians were shot down and
a dozen wounded; about the same
time a murdered man was found under
the Fort Wayne railroad bridge, and
two men were slain on the streets of
Pittsburg. Two months ago farmer
was killed on the suburbs of Allegha

THE Executive MNIrTEE
ANDA CONVENTION.

AS our readers know the late meet

State Executive Committee at kaleigh b
was very large one, and it's delibera-
great interest. The subject of Con-

We believe, will give satisfaction TO the
people of the State.
The meetings of the Committee oc-
cupied two days, and the debate upon
The calling OF Convention was m, st

o lock in the afternoon until late

question was considered in an open
meeting of the Committee, at which
the members of the Legislature, the

from ali portions OF the State, were
present, and humber of the latter
engaged in the discussion.
Speeches were made in favor of a
Convention by Robert Strange, of

them to some profitable and bene8oent

The following is the abstsct spoken
of above:
"The semi-annual meeting of the
Augusta Cotton Factory was held in
Augusta, Ga, on the 31st uh From
the re port of the President it appears
that the company, since the war, has
paid in dividends 81. 122. 900, and has
expended $500, 400 for new machiner-
There are now "a, 600 spindles and 70t
looms in operation. The property OF
the company is worth 81. 800, 600,
