very serious attack of rheumatism, we are
glad to learn is gradually recovering,
and it is hoped he will soon be able to re-
turn to this city and resume the duties of
his office. Any permanent disability of this
estimable gentleman would be calamitous
to the State, especially at this time, when
he is in the midst of his labor Of editing,
and publishing the Colonial Records of
the State.
The crazy tramp, arrested and jailed
IN this city some days ago, on suspicion
of being "Scott" Partin, the fugitive
murderer who has been wanted here for
the past thirteen years, says he thought
he had been treated with the most cruel,
indignity, for a stranger in a strange land,
when the impertinent newspaper report
ers were turned lose upon him, but that
the climax-the severest cut Of all
was reached when orders were issued for
shaving, cutting his hair, washing his
body and putting a new suit of clothes
upon it." At this juncture, it is said, his
evaporation knew no bounds, and he has
declared his intention Of adjusting this
matter with Solicitor Argo according to
the code. But in the midst Of all his
affection he finds solid comfort in the re-
Election that since his arrival in this city
he has Enlisted in three square meals a
day."
Jas. T. Long, of Alamance county, a
during the late war, and who, in his Off
cial capacity, was kind and obliging and
did some favors for an invalid Federal Off
Ger who was passing over his road, from

fused 5000 for the stone, but he pre-
sents it to the man who befriended him at
a time when he needed a friend. This
from the Alamance Cleaner.
1t is very encouraging to note the
success which is being achieved by the
manufacturing enterprises of the city of
Raleigh, and among those which are now
