These are two of the points the

Another phase Of the case has dawn

they have compromised not only
themselves, but the entire Board of
Directors of the bank. According

reference to the division of the $780,
600, or rather what there is left of
it, being returned to the banks, Mr..
Busbee will oppose any move of
that kind. He claims that the mon
ely having been sent to the Raleigh
bank and duly delivered there it be-
comes the property of the bank, the
bank being responsible. and not the
individual who stole it In this view
he is supported by several promi :

From all indications it appears

There's T little low hut by the river side, Within the sound of it's ripplmg tide; It's walls are gray with the moss of years, And its roof all crumbly and old appears; But fairer to me than a castles pride Is the little low hut by the river side. The little low hut was nay natal nest, Where my childhood passed-life's springtime
 blest;
 Where the hopes of ardent youth were formed And the sun ot promise my young heart
 warmed, Ere threw myself on life's swift tide, And left the dear hut by the river side. That little old hut, in Iowly guise, Was lofty and grand to my youthful eyes. Ana fa1rer trees were ne'er known before Than the apple trees by the humble door, That my father loved for their thrifty pride, v men shadowed the hut by the river side. That little low hut had glad hearthstone That echoed of old with d pleasant tone, And brothers and sisters, a merry crew But one by one have the loved ones died That dwelt in the hut by the rivers side. The father and the children gay The The grave and the world have called away; But quietly, all alone, there sits By the pleasant window in Summer, and
 knits, An aged woman, long years allied With the little old hut by the rivers side. That little old hut to the lonely wife Is the cherished stage of her active life;
  As she sits by the window in pensive dream And joys and woes roll back like a tide, Ill that little old hut by the rivers side. My motfier!-alone by the river side, She waits for the flood of the heavenly tide; And the voice that shall thrill her heart with

BEDDING.

The following is copy of demand made upon Rev John Beach by the au- thorities of Bedding during the Revolu- tion and it has led Rev Dr E. E.

Kelly of Red ding:
 Revd. Sir; We have no disposition to re. strain and limit you or others in matters oi conscience, but understanding that you in your Public Worship still continue to pray that the King of Great Britain may be strengthened to vanquish and overcome all his enemies, which manner of praying must be thought to be ea great insult upon the Laws, Authority and People ofthis State as you and all others can but know that the King of Eng land has put the people of these United States fromunder his protection, declared them Reb- els, and Is now at open war with said States, anu consequently we are his enemies. Like wise you must have understood that the American States have declared themselves independent of any foreign power. Now Sir, in order that we may have peace and quiet ness at home among ourselves, We desire that for the future you would omit praying in pub lie that King George the third, or any other foreign prince or power may vanquish, etc., the People of this Land. Your compliance herewith may prevent you trouble.
 We are, Revd. Sir, with due Respect Your Obed't, IIumb' se'v'ts,
