Mad Fox to a Live Negro.
(Edenton Transcript.l

(EdentOn Transcrlpt.)
Here is a fox story: Turner Holley. q
colored farmer, living about ten miles
from this city, discovered fox in an at
tempt to raid his poultry Holley and his
boy gave chase to the fox and cornered
him. Mr.. Fox waxed angry and seized
Holley's leg All attempts to shake him
proved futile. Holley ran to his house
and securing a shot gun put load of
hot lead in his assailant while its teeth
were yet firmly implanted in his leg. Hol-
ley is carrying quite a scar as result
of the fox bite. He says that he has heard
of things holding on like grim death to a
dead niger but his say hereafter will
be mad fox to a live niger"

Among the Railroads.

The work of building of the Suffolk and
Carolina railroad entering this city is
still progressing. The laying of the
irons will be commenced in about ten or
twelve days and in about the same length
of time the wharf contractors for the
company will commence the building of
the wharf at the terminal of the road
here. The work on the yards and depot
will be commenced about the first of
June, and it is expected the first train will
get into this city in September over that
road. This branch will start from
point on the road from Suffolk to Eden
toni which will be &c miles from Suffolk
and 25 miles from Edenton. The juno
ton station will be called Beckford and
the following will be the names of the
other stations between there and Eliza
