A jolly Parry of Clever Men.

A few days ago we were the guest OF
the Raleigh ~iourneymen tailor club
at a barbecue given by them on the
farm OF Il. +. Perknson. Esq. a broth
er of our esteemed merchant tailor, W.
". Parkinson. And while we are
speaking OF the Perkinsons we cannot
forget that there we met Mr.. john Per-
kInson, an old friend, and the father OF
all the Perkinsons. aud the grandfather
of turty-siX children, and the great
grandfather OF three as hale and hearty
men as is to be seen The tailors Were
there in force. Weikel. that prince OF

breeches, and buckle shoes the major

All were as merry as school boys.
Tailors' wit and personal "reminiscences
beat any you hear. Toasts were given
to '.our absent guest OF last year. Hon.
Risden L. Bennett and to Our next
governor. Col Thomas II. Holt" and
drank three times three over amidst the
hearty cheers OF the hundred or mole
tailors and their guests. There was a

after dinner we were compelled to leave

the city. The farmers out that way
have rare crops. Messrs. Lynn Adams.
George L. Cooke and Col. W. III iIol-

cotton and corn, while Col. Holleman
also adds to the magnificent scenery by

Nearer the city we passed the extensive
lands of NJ. A. Bledsoe, Esq, and Col

were all right. What a pity ten years

Observation-Disclosures killing. And
when we add that two negroes, a pack
of cards, a rock. and an axe were in the
game, you will realize the whole story
at a glance.
John Horton. a young negro, and Pat
Mitchell, sometimes cal ed Smith Mitch
ell. engaged in a game of cards. at the
cabin OF his mother. Eliza Horton. near
Rolesyille. in Northern Wake. where
Mitchell had stopped to pass the night.
Several persons We're i'll the house. and
towards day-break they heard the two
gamblers quarrelling. Horton had won
Mitchel'> money. knife, cards. and the
shoes on his feet. The latter he re-
fused to surrender. and charged that
Horton cheated. They fought through
the doorway, and out into a terrific
storm which was raging. An axe was
handy and Horton crushed MitchelPs
skull with it. As the latter continued
to groan, Horton dragged him for near
ly 100 yards into the woods. which were
flooded with water, and left him. He
confesses to all these facts. but claims
that it was a fair fight.
On Sunday morning Henry Horton.

path, and found a bloody hand sticking
through some trash in a gulley. The
alarm was given, and the people of the
neighborhood soon traced up the whole
affair, so that when Coroner Ellis ar
rived there was nothing to do. but send
the murderer to iafl.

took an orphan child to raise. in 1874.
and recently sent her to North Carolina
to become a mother. Simpson was
overhauled and expelled by the church.
He confessed the 'ault and be>ouIht for
~giveneSs. He also showed letters from
the girl intimating that she was equally
to blame. But he il not Il popular per-
sonage. and the young men of Wins
bOro not only inflicted the beating. but
also forced him To sell out, and leave
the town in ten days.
1t was rather rough and lawless
usage {; but perhaps we do not know all
the facts. Lawson in his history of the
North Carolina Indians. before they
were contaminated by the whites. states
that a seducer was always made to bear
both the penalty and the stigma.

that as woman is the weaker. and nat
