A TRAMP who received a severe pum-
melting at the yard entrance to the |
premises of the Smyrna House on Sat- |
urday night was afterwards found in |
disabled condition near the four cor
ners" by officer Grant and taken to the |
lookup to protect him from further |
violence. 1t was first reported that
the occurrence took place at the Ches-
ter House, but the fracas there seems
to have been of an entirely different
character and between we'll known
residents of the vicinity. It is said
there is bad blood brewing between
certain parties.
POSTMASTER BEwLEY was in no
sense an offensive partizan" in the
election on aturday-attending to his
duty there all day, not even going to
IN
old war-hOrse of the democracy, having
stood at ohe fore front for over forty
years in Duck Greek Hundred and it
VeXed his soul to see the cohorts that
he had led into so many battles now
divided and fighting among them
selves. The charge that is made in a
Wilmington paper that he turned his
back on his friend Lore and then
Salisbury by not standing up for him
on election day Mr.. Bewley casts over
his shoulders when measured in COM
parison to fealty to party as he had
known it in his more active days.

have the usual variety of employments
and business such as would character
ize town in the State, including law
yers, doctors, milliners, a candy fac
tory, &c. The local columns of the
paper have more items in reference to
mining than anything else, showing
business enterprise to be largely in that
direction. The indians thereabOuts
come in for good share of attention.
One of the items says Juneau can
boast of as neat and comfortable a
school building as any town of her
size and population; a handsome
structure and credit to both the con-
tractors and the town."
REV. G. S. SwEEzEY who has been
supplying the pulpit of the Presbyte-
rian church of this town during the
summer preached his farewell discourse
on Sunday morning to a large and
sympathetic audience. The congrega.
, ton would like to have held on to him
! longer, and such relationship would
doubtless have been agreeable to him
but for the determination on gradua
ting at the Princeton Theological Sem.

p: ministerial work. Mr.. SweeZey's shOr
e pastOrate in Smyrna has been remark
ably successful. He has that style as

teresting as larger One-whatever il

course that characterizes him out 0
n the pulpit. He left yesterday for
, short visit to his home, near Batavia, N
