No CHANGE IT'LL 1ss4.-The terms
of Office of the present Board of County
Commissioners will expire on the first
Monday of December next, and in August
next, the Magistrates of the county will
proceed, according to the existing law, to
elect Board of County Commissioners to
serve for two years from the first Monday
of December, when the terms of the
present Board expire. The Commissioners,
so elected, will be entitled to hold their
positions until the expiration of their terms
Of Office. and the Legislature is powerless
to pass law to oust them. It will be seen,
then, that the present system of County
Government cannot be changed before

IMPORTANT DECISION BY JUDGE BOND.
The railroad case which was argued be-
fore Judge Bond, in the United States
Circuit Court at Fall term, 1880, in this
city, the case as we understand it is
this: Baltzer & Taak, Bankers of New
York City VS.. Raleigh and Augusta Air.
Line Railway Company and certain iu-
dividuals, for iron furnished the Com
pany about 1858. The amount involved
is one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
with inter est from Oct. lst, 1868. Judge
Bond has to-day filed in the United States
District Clerks Office here decree in
favor of the defendants, dismissing the
plaintiffs bill, &c. 1t is understood that
Judge Bond will file his opinion hereafter.
This is probably the most important rail
way case that has ever been argued in
Greensboro, seven or eight days being
occupied in hearing it, Greensboro Buole.

MEDICAL AcADEMY.-Dr. T. J. Moore,

last night before the Academy on ''Spot-

This disease was almost unknown here be-
fore the war, but since then it has lin
gered amongst US, now and then carrying
off a victim. 1t is unfortunate that it is
not always recognized even by doctors
until too late. The most striking symp
tom is said to be intense headache, but
without fever; hence it may be mistaken
for neuralgia. Richmond Dispatch.

fatally. The buildings over the shaft of the mine,
and used for protecting the engine, were all new

boiler, engine and all the appurtenances used at
the surface of the mine. The noise of the explo-
sion was heard for a long distance and the crowd
that was at the depot and in the vicinity rushed
for the scene to render what assistance needed
The engineers a colored man, named Bill Wheeler,
was found about twenty-four feet from the en-
gine, his leg broken, hip dislocated, hands and
face terribly scalded. A short distance from him
was found another colored man, Abram Maxwell,

| ders. He is q brother-in-law of MIR. Frank

boiler exploded in the centre. and the fragment.
were strewed in all directions, and the ground
was covered with bricks, pieces of iron and tim
Der. some of which were carried long distance
The explosion was caused by the too great pres
sure of steam, and rumor has it that the engineer
is addicted to habits that do not qualify mar
to regulate steam gauge. We have no persona
knowledge of this, but think if such is the fac,
the terrible scenes witnessed would prove
warning, that the habits and qualifications of an
engineer should be inquired into by those in
