The Fourth of July 1T MOOre's
Creek


MEssRs. EDIToRs:-The announce
ment of celebrating the Fourth OF
Juiy at Moore's Orerk battle ground
meets with hearty response In this
section. The brilliant success of the
Centennial last spring did not satiate
the patriotic feeling nor exhaust the
ardor for revolutionary principles yet
nourished in the bOsoms of the honest
yeomanry of the old Cape Fear
country. They regard such meetings
as promoters uf harmony and good
wiIl-tO star up associations CONNECTED
with our past history and future des-
siny, and to regale our minds with the
pr0GtahIe remembrance of heroic
times and principles. The times are
hard and the celebration will fall in a
busy season, yet however busy we may
be, we can spare one day to celebrate
the birth day of our independence and
the sabbath of our political freedom,
by meeting at the old monument with
offerings SINCERE and pure at this
shrine o. our constitutional liberty.
We feel around here that we will
prove recreant to the great trust com
mitted to US by our ancestors if we
do not. in some way, manifest our
gratitude and foster jealous regard
for the achievements Of '7G. 1t will
show to our brethren all over this
large country. that we of North Caro-
lima and Pender county, through all
the yicissitudes and disasters of war and
peace, yet maintain a jealous regard
and righteous pride for the hallowed
achievements of our fathers. Such
manifestations betray a noble spirit
and intention wherever made. Many
towns, counties aud States which have
no Bunker Hill, Yorktown or Moore's
Greek are preparing to meet on the
eventful Fourth and proclaim to the
world their patriotic love for this birth
day of our national existence. North

From the Reading (pa Times.
A new enemy to the growing crop
OF corn has been discovered this
spring which is committing consider,
able destruction in some sectious of
the country. 1t il peculiar black
worm which can scarcely be crushed
on the loose earth, as it is incased in
suit of armor difficult to break.
They operate i'll the corn hills by eat
ing of the young plants. As many rs
ten or twelve worms are found in one
hill. The cutworm has hitherto been
great annoyance, but this new pest
IS said to be even more destructive.
In some townships farmers are busy
repianting ,cornfields that have been
thus devastated. Paris green has been
found to be as efficacious in extermi-
mating these worms as it is in destroy
ing the potato bug Powdered white
hellebore is said to be very effica-
cious.
This bug is an old acquaintance in
North Carolina. e pecially is it dread
ed in the clay region of the State, and
when it makes its appearance the corn
crops are materially injured.

The finest apple region of the world

brought are none of the best and are so
poorly prepared for market as to make

At the first presentation OF Hager's
Allegory of the Great Republic at Rob-
inson's Opera-house, last night, every
seat was filled, and number of people
were compelled to stand in the lobbies.
1t is an entertainment that never fails to
draw crowded houses in our city, partly
from the fact that over four hundred OF
the participants in the exercises are
from among the children Of our public
schools.
Last night, although the performers had
the benefit OF but two rehearsals, there
was not hitch throughout the whole
exercises, and it is only matter of sur.
prise that our young people could be-
come 80 proficient with SO brief train.
ing. In addition to the old familiar
tableauxs there are some new ones
among which is the signing of the Dec
laration OF Independence, which is very
tastefully arranged.
The singing was above the average
and many OF the performers are entitled
to great credit; but, where every one
evinced disposition to do his or hel
very best, we do not think 1t wise tt
make distinctions. The entertainment
Is certainly an. extraordinary one, ant
well deserving the patronage OF oul
people. The representations will close
with performance tonight and to-mor

from Illinois, who was arrested at the
instance Of Mrs. Louisa Stevenson, of
East Fourth street, who claims that on
the Goth day of May, 1873, she was robbed
of $3.50 worth of jewelry by Riley, will
forever regret the day he answered an
advertisement in the "PersonaW column
of the Enquirer, which read: "A young
and charming widow lady desires the
acquaintance Of gentleman Of means.''
He answered it, as he claimed to be
that kind Of hair pin, and the CORE.
spondenoe resulted in an intimacy which
was kept up for quite while. He finally
became jealous OF the attentions of other
