of our readers may still look for items
of news in this column, which will be
found under their proper head-com :

have endeavored to make, for the

Whose Fault Is 1t!

The Wadesboro argus as ks why it is
that the press of North Carolina has
been silent under a recent order from
the P. 0. Department in 1efereuce to
distribution of mail matter at way sts-
tions on the railroads :?
We answer, SO far at least as the
JOURNAL is concern d, that we were
not aware Of the existence of any such
order. The JOURNAL will most assured
ly do any thing III it's power 20 promote
the convenience of our people in get
ting their mails:
The Argus says:
It has been the custom ever since the
war for the route agents on the O. q.
r. W. to throw off at all waystatlons
the mail matter for that place thereby
sowing Il great many persons living re-
mote from regular postotfices the
necessity of sending several miles for
their papers and letters. The regular
postofficps on the G.. @. are from seven
t., ten miles ap2rt-and heretofore the
route az nts have been In the h" bit of
in kIug up tie mail matter for proInI
neut way stations between the regular
Offices, aud throwing it off to some re-
spousible party when the train pa sed
these points. You eau very readily
conceive that this was a great conveD-
ience to a great many persons. But
about month ago some dignitary in
the Postoffice Department ISSUES an
order to the route agents forbldding
thig accommodation to the people, and
at one fell swoop we are all cut off from
our daily intercourse with the world !,
unless we send from three to ten miles
to a postoffice for our mail.
We are glad to learn as we do from
our contemporary that on the line OF
the G @. Railway at least the fault is
not with the route agents, and that
they are perfectly willing to throw the
mails off as heretofore.
We shall take occasion at once to
call the attention of our representative
in Congress, Colonel Waddell, to the
No after, who fortunately ia member
of the Committee on Post Offices and

A Home Fertilizer

Economy is the order of the day,
and our agriculturalists more than
any other class of people nre called
upon to exercise it.
The use of fertilizers has pr owed not
only to be profitable but absolutely
necessary. Many of our farmers are
unable to purchase a full supply OF
their favorite guanos, and will be
compelled to manufacture their own to
some extent. To such we direct at
tention to the eadvertisement of Messrs.
Boykin, GARNER & Co., of Baltimore.

facture of home fertilizer at prices
which place it within the reach of all.

Mr.. W. J. Austin WAS suffocated in
his room On Friday evening at the
Purcell House, having allowed the ga.
to escape after the extinguisnment Of

came to the city on the o'clock train
of Friday by the Carolina Central Rail-
way. and after having attended to the
business that brought him to Will
mington, retired to his room, directing
that he should be called to leave on
the Northern train.
Mr.. 81. M. Davidson Is a clerk in
the hotel, and is required to see that
the servants arouse the passengers
that leave on this train. In the dis
charge OF this duty he detected
the smell of gas, the source of
which he at length ascertained to
be Mr.. Austin's room. Mr.. David
son then used the necessary means
to enter the room. and having
entered found that Mr.. Austin was
dead. The Coroner was notified, who
summoned a jury of inquest, and,
after hearing the facss as above. made
the return that the deceased came to
his death by suffocatio1.
The body of the young man has been
forwarded by express to his friends in
Germauton.
Several letters and papers found in
his clothing point to a fact, which,
taken in connection With his untimely
death, makes the event sad one iu-
deed.

Judge Lynch and his court last
night executed summary proceedings
against a cold -blooded murderer, and,
although one life has paid the forfeit
for terrible crime, it is not at all
improbable that a second life will be
demanded by the lynchers. In my
brief dispatch uf Sunday I gave the
outlines of the murder of a farmer
named Miner, and the lynching of his
murderer. I am now prepared &c
present to your numerous readers the
full particulars of the horrible affair.
On Sunday last, 10Th instant, Hugh
Miner, q we'll to-do farmer, living
within two miles of Barboursville, the
county seat of Osbell, disappeared, and
nothing being heard of him up to
Friday, certain inquiries induced his
friends to believe that he had been
murdered, and acting upon legal ad-
vice, the friends of the missing man
caused the arrest of Mrs. Miner and
q man named Ben Williams. The lat

ed by Miner of having, during the
