war. Negotiation are under way for the pur-
chase of one of number of steamers now
laid up in Almeda Creek. Capt Waddell,
late Of the wrecked Pacific mail steamer City
of San Francisco, formerly in command of
the Confederate privateer Shenandoah, is men
toned as the probable commander, and Capt.
Lapidge, late of the Pacific mail service, is
named as one of the officers. From other
sources it is learned that the Russian corvette
Craysee, now lying in port, is prepared for in
stant action, and the object Of her long delay
here is to obtain the earliest possible news of
the outbreak Of hostiities, and put at once to
sea and lie in wait for British vessels bound
to San Francisco. 1t is understood that, with
the exception of the corvette Opal and the
small gurboat Rocket at Victoria, and the
frigate ship which is supposed to be some
where in the neighborhood of Panama, there
is not single British war vessel in the North
Pacific to interfere with the designs of the
Russian cruiser, and it is possible that the yes
sells at Victoria would be retained there for
defensive purposes.

from the effects of the dose. There is no
case like it that ever occurred in North Caro-
lima, and only two cases strongly analogous
that are mentioned in the books. One of
these occurred in the State of Massachusetts +;
the other in England. The one in this country
was this: man was convicted of a felony
and sentenced to be hung; while confined in
Jail awaiting the time for execution, at his 60
licitation, friend procured for him rope,
with which he hanged himself-commtted
suicide. The man who procured the rope was
tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
The one in England was parallel case. The
Auson county case, as above remarked, has
no precedent, at least in North Carolina, and
the Judge before whom the case will be tried
may not wish to take the responsibility Of
passing sentence of death upon one in such
case, especially when those who preceded him

- Governor Colqutt of Georgia, will de-
liver the address on commencement day at
Trinity College, and Bishop Pierce will de-
liver the sermon.
- The body of Harrison Grice, who was
drowned near Lincolnton last November, was
found last week, lying within foot of the
bank of the river, about two and half miles
from where the unfortunate man lost his life.
At the late term of Buncombe Superior
Court, Judge Cloud sentenced Simpson Pet
ty, colored, to two years confinement in jail,
for whipping his wife. An appeal was taken
to the Supreme Court on the plea of "excess'

- Large hawks are coming to the front in
North Carolina. Near Greensboro, last week,
one was killed measuring four and half feet
from tip to tip of wing; and recently one
was killed in Mecklenburg county, which
measured FIVE feet five inches from tip to tip.
Notwithstanding the persistent efforts that
have been made in some quarters to defeat
Judge SchencsS's aspirations for the Chief
Justiceship, county conventions in different
parts of the State have declared their prefer

- Says the Hickory Press: Mr.. Darius D.
Seitz, of this county, was killed by lightning,
Wednesday, about o'clock, April 24th, 1878.
He was struck about the centre of the left
side of the head, spot of hair being burned
off at that place. 1t was also observed that
there was scar or streak that run down the

skin nor bones were broken on any part of

- The trial of R. A. Black, for the alleged
murder of James Anthony, in Lincoln coun'
ty, about two weeks ago, has been moved to
CASTOR, Oh the ground that public opinion in
Lincoln is so prejudiced against the accused
that he could not have fair trial. The case
will probably be tried next week, at which
time Dallas Court will convene. PinckDey
Pendleton, whose name will be remembered
in connection with the affair, and who was
arrested as an accomplice, will be used as a
witness in the case.

urging the claims of Hon. j. H. Evins for

that this much, at least. is due to Col. Evns,
and the people generally, we think, will COIN

of knowing that Colonel Evins is attentive

in disposition, ready at all times to serve
them, and has Influence at the National Cap.

prepossessed in his favor.

The above is the designation by which our

gentlemen, will hereafter be known. When
we were youth, to be member of brass
band was considered sufficient honor for q
life time; and many of our gray haired or
bad-headed citizens who studied the circus

emphasis which old John Robinson placed
upon his brass band under the leadership of
Harry Gaul, though Gaul did play sure
enough solid silver bugle. But since that
time wonderful strides have been made in mu
