Puerto Rico, setiembre 25 de 1880.

Nos escriben. de Hormigueros que
los RR. PIP. Jesuitas Birberena y
Martin han sacado gran fruto de su
mission en- dicho pueblo. Multitud
de hombres y mujeres que vivian
separados de la religion Sc han re-
conciliado con Dios. Catorce dias
trabajaron alll los dos religiosos ci-
tados predicando, confesando y dan
do saludables consoles. Mas de qui-
nientas personas comulgaron. Nun
ca Sc hablan dado en- Hormigueros
casos de tan pdblica y sincera reli-
giosldad. La iglesia ha estado llena
de fieles muchas veces, y no pocos
han abandonado su mala vida y las
sectas.
Admirable es la laboriosidad Y ell
ejemplo de esos santos varones que,
Ell vez de disfrutar ell tempo de va
caciones en- ell necesario descanso, 10
enplean en- ganar almas para ell Gle.
10 a costa de molestias, gastos y fati-
gas que no han de ser remunerados
en- la terra.

About eighteen months ago a young man
who answered to the name Of Bob Williams,
invaded Sharpesburg township. He said
that he had 5000 in one of the banks at
Raleigh, and that he carried 5000 with
him all the time. for use In case he needed
it. He quite dazed the people by the sto-
ries of his wealth, and being a rooster with
a good a deal of ''git up and git about him.
soon ingratiated himself with the communl-
ty. He secured the position of miller at
the mill of King and Summers, and began
to lavish his attentions upon the females OF
the neighborhood. He became engaged to
two or three of them, but before he could
capture a wife, there began to be suspicion
in the community that all was not right with
Mr.. Williams, Notwithstanding he had 5000
in the Raleigh bank and had returned and
was paving tax on 5000 more In Sharpes-
burg. So many grists were getting short at
the mill, too, that this capitalist concluded
he had better change the base Of his opera
tions, and so he moved down to Rowan
Mills, leaving behind him Sharpesburg va

at last accounts was a citizen of Mitchell

WILMINGTON REVIEW ITEMs.-Bryan
Morse, saloon keeper, shot a negro cook OF
the u. S. vessel Woodbury. at Smithville.
The darkcy wanted liquor, and was going to
whip Morse for not supplying it-The
big fire in Wilmington Saturday night proves
more serious than was first thought. 1t
originated in the old buildings, corner of
Front and Dock street. Preston Cummings
grain and feed warehouse, Ahren's ice de-
pot, A. Rush's grocery, l.. Solomon dwell
ing, and the hardware store OF Geo. A. Peck
were all destroyed. In removing the goods
of the latter, some 80 persons were caught
inside by falling walls. Joseph Waters,
John Farrow, Chas. Burkheimer, Bryant
Swami, and others were painfully bruised
or burned. 1t was thought all had gotten
out but at noon on Sunday it was discover
ed that Capt VIM. A. Ellerbrock, of the
steamer VIM. Nice had fallen a victim. He
was caught by the falling timbers, and suf-
located. He owned a big black dog, which
was found at his feet and between the fast
clenched teeth of the dead animal was found
a portion of his masters clothing, thus EVIL
dencing that even the dog had realized
his masters peril, and had endeavored to
assist him. Capt. Ellerbrock's body was
frightfully burned. The clothing had been
consumed, the legs were burned away to
above the knees, and there were frightful
Commissions and burns on his body and head.
After funeral services by DR.. Bernheim, the
remains were buried: Master and his dog,

WikesborO Witness .: A negro was charged
with the crime of killing two colored men IN
Virginia a few days ago, while making his
way through Ashe county, North Carolina,
was met at night by three colored men Of
Ashe county. During a conversation the
negro disclosed his guilt and the three col
ored men agreed to pilot him through the
woods to Tennessee. They carried him
some distance under cover of the night, and
when they reached a house, threw him
down and tied him. They took him to
Jail.
Revenue officer Stockton shot Joe Rey-
nolds, a desperate blockader, through the
neck near Lincolnton. Reynolds fired first.
1t was night. The Charlotte Observer, from
which we gather the above, says: Stockton
Immediately returned to Lincolnton and
surrendered himself to the sheriff. Rey-
holds is reported in a desperate condition,
the ball having gone entirely through his
neck, and one side being paralyzed. But
little hope is entertained for his recovery.
At Columbia S. c., considerable sensa-
ten is created by the arrest Of Peter B.
Glass, at one time a prominent merchant OF
that city, for alleged assault upon a white
girl about l3 years Of age. The testimony
before the trial justice shsws that the girl
was enticed into the house of the accused
upon an invitation to accept some flowers,
and that the assault was then committed
upon her.
