Oysters, potatoes, seed cotton, cotton seed, constitutheir cargoes. All Wilmington theatre-goers will remember the fine Madison Square Theatre company that appeared here in Esmeralda" and "'Hazel Kirke." They were at Asheville, recently, and tried make Hudsonville, N. in conveyances, to take the cars for Greenville, S. but were lost and scattered the mountains, and wearily worked their way back to Asheville. could have made Greenville for Saturday night, but were mad at their mountain mishap and went from Asheville to Salisbury, N.

The George H. Stout sailed yesterday evening for Baltimore with 600 bales cotton, 40,000 feet of lumber, 325,000 wooden plates and 60 tierces of rice.

Advertising. The fruits of advertising can only appreciated by giving the paper a trial. The Land Agency of Messrs. Holland Guion only appeared in yesterday's paper, and to-day they have secured the selling of a valuable farm near the city. But as that is only half the battle, we'll wait until it is sold before saying too much in favor of advertising.

Untrue. We are told that one of the speakers from New Berne at the Stockholders Meeting at Goldsboro last Friday stated it was with difficulty a New Berne paper could be got to notice an accident on the Midland road.34 If such a statement was made we take pleasure insaying, Oll behalf of the JOURAL, that said statement is untrue. The Rice Market. Eleven hundred bushels of rough were sold on Tuesday at $1.00 to $1.05 for good. A lot of inferior brought than $1.00.

We give the following quotations from other points: CHARLESTON. (News and Courier, Nov. 13.) $1.00 to $1.10 per bushel. WILMINGTON. (Star, Nov.

12th.) 85 to 95 cents per bushel. Willoughby Reade. We take pleasure in announcing that the celebrated Elocutionist, Mr. loughby Reade, has consented to give a reading in New Berne on Tuesday, Nov. 29th.

Our people will have the privilege of listening to a finished artist, and his visit can be made the means of great good to the young people of a city which is showing, by her prosperous Graded School, the interest felt by all classes in educational matters. The Fair. The different members of the Fair Committee, seen yesterday, express their willingness to work it up. It would draw several thousand visitors fiere for several days each year, and it can be readily computed how much that would be worth to the city. The water communication between New Berne and a number of counties ren dera this point a most.

desirable one for the enterprise. The Shenandoah would bring over, hundreds of visitors from Elizabeth City, and our river fleet would to utmost capacity during Fair Cotton Yesterday, At last cotton is slowly creeping upward. It is to be hoped that the bottom has been struck and that in the future better prices will prevail. Spots in New York went up 1-16, and futures showed a slight advance. One hundred and seventy-five bales were sold at the Exchange, the best going at 9.90.

The friends and relatives of the deceased are invited to attend. is nodeath! The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in Heaven's jeweled crown They shine forevermore. "There is no death! An angel form Walks o'er the earth with silent tread; He bears our best loved things away; And then we call them "dead." "And ever near us though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life- there are no dead. Bennett Elected. Bennett Elected.

The agony is over and Judge Bennett is elected hy a small majority. Official returns from every county in the State except Graham, which is Democratic by a small majority, gives Judge Bennett 373 majority. Too close a pull to be comfortable, but better that than to have the boot on the other leg. We are glad to note that the entire Judicial ticket on the Democratic side is elected. Judges Ruffin, Gilmer, McCoy and the remainder of the Democratic ticket were much abler men than their opponents, and the State is to be congratulated on their election.

The result of will help the Democratic party. It will show the leaders that they are on trial, and from fear of future defeats they will endeavor to act wisely. The State election now stands: Three Republican members of Congress, Pool, York and O'Hara, and the other six Democratic; a Democratic Legislature, and Democratic Judges, North Carolina now holds her Democratic standingbut is on the ragged edge, and wise action in the future is needed to send her to the front rank.

Gold in Union County. J. C. Bates, of Union county, was in Charlotte a few days ago with a fine box of ore from the Crump mine; the sample weighed only 8. pounds, but contained nearly 300 in gold.

A box had been sent to New York a few days earHer. which was even more valuable. The Crump mine is remarkable for its Your Name in Print. Mra. R.

Messrs. Ed and Wayne Hughes left on the West bound train yesterday evening for Texas. They go to engage in stock raising and will locate in Taylor county. We learn, from the Stock Journal. a large weekly paper published at Fort Worth, that stock raising is a very profitable business in Texas.

Lint cotton, 9.30 It is getting so close between and Dockery, that Dr. Bryan is calling, fretfully, for the Swift Creek mandamus at once. The Richmond and McElreth troupe played two nights last week in Kinston -Wednesday and Saturday to good houses. In the eastern part of this State, "'a storm in the harbor" struck the Republican ship last Tuesday. The party in the east relied too much on the safety of its position.

Mrs. Launa Mosely, consort of Octavius Mosely, and daughter of L. J. Mewborne, died of consumption last Sunday, the 12th at her residence in Lenoir county. The steamer Kinston cleared this wharf Monday morning with 90 bales of cotton; the Neuse, with 60 and the flat with 60 bales.

The river at this place is very low. It is said that Barnum with uncle "Sammy's barrel," was in Wilson county just before the election buying votes, and that the negro voters demanded higher prices than the "pale face" race did. D. R. Walker, at the Nunn House last Wednesday night, indulged in a halleluia of glory--saying the mission of the Democratic party for the campaign had ended and he would walk no more forever.

Gov. Jarvis was called out at the a Nunn House in Kinston last Wednesday night and said, Pitt county had gone to--the devil--that it was a great Waterloo defeat, but he was not certain which army had gained the victory. Dr. Weyher thinks his vermifuge has acted too powerfully on the Democratic party; it has driven out too many worms and hence the closeness of the contest. It has evidently been taken elsewhere than in Lenoir county.

A few mornings ago a traveller on the Midland N. C. Railroad was solicited to take breakfast at Kinston, but declined for the reason, that the road might change schedule before he finished his breakfast and leave him at Kinston. It is estimated that between four and five thousand people attended the Free Will Baptist Conference last Sunday, at Rose of Sharon Church, in Lenoir county. Preaching was had in two houses and there was crowd sufficient to fill a dozen more.

Daniel E. Perry is still alive and kicking, even if he was defeated for the Legislature last Tuesday. He attended Rose of Sharon church last Sunday, smashed up three buggies in a runaway scrape and vows Jay Hubbell did not visit Lenoir county during the canvass. B. N.

Fields was loudly called for at a burning turpentine barrel and responded, saying, "it took Jim Sutton to make the whisky and Kinse Davis to drink it, and if the Democrats had only put up a still on the Neuse river, Lenoir would have gone for Sutton by New York's great majority. B.F. Herring, a native of Lenoir county, and a corporal in company 40th Regiment, N.C. Confederate troops, now holds a commission from Hon. Robert T.

Lincoln, Secretary of War, as a Commissary Sergeant, Troop 7th Regiment, U.S. Cavalry, on service at Fort Assinaboine, Montana Territory. Farmers, under mortgages and lein bonds, seem to be quite tardy in settling up this fall; yet, from the stir and bustle in some of the stores, it appears like the people are trading liberally. Merchants, who have sold on time, look like defeated candidates, puckered up like they have been dipped in a barrel of alum water. Webb's little steamer, the Snow Hill, has been doing recently a lively business as a lighter.

She takes cotton from various places on the river and delivers it to other boats in deep water. She took 60 bales one day last week from Kinston to a deep water point. She is tied up now, repairing her wheel which got broke last week. S. H.

Loftin, one of the solid men of Kinston, is pushing forward to completion his two story brick building, adjoining the store of Oettinger Bros. It will have three large. stores on the ground floor.

K. Uzzell was shot at twice by William G. Davis. Nobody hurt. W.

B. Walters, the township constable, has been appointed town policeman, and now wears the proper emblem of his office. He promises to be a terror to the vulgar and profane. The recent election news, so favorable to the Republicans, has produced quite a change in the countenance and conduct of many of the "truly loyal." One is reminded of the sunshine after a summer shower. The Falling Creek mills, owned by Mr.

J. T. Askew, and under the management of Messrs. Fields and Holland, have been overhauled and thoroughly repaired. Mr.

B. F. Aldridge, who did the work, has had considerable experience in building and repairing mills, and pronounces them in fine order. Capt. Lemuel H.

Hartsfield. formerly a citizen of this county, died at the residence of his son-in-law in Goldsboro, on last Friday night. Capt. Hartsfield served in the U.S. army in the war with Mexico, and commanded a cavalry company in the Confederate army in the great civil war.

He was highly respected by those who knew him. Complaints are being made in the Bucklesbery section about hog thieves. Thomas Sutton, a prosperous farmer in that place, says that he loses about one a month, and that in order to make his meat he has to keep nearly twice the quantity necessary. William Sutton had one stolen last week in the same locality, The thieves had better beware. More is known about them than they have knowledge of.

Motives for suicide. Ross W. Lichty, a Johnston, grocer, aged 23 years, shot himself in the head because his parents opposed his marriage. Frederick Grubb of Erie, shot himself while in his honeymoon because his bride's former husband, supposed to be dead, had appeared. Rum cased 1 Godfried Thomas of Omaha, to wish himself dead, and he pitched himself head first into a well.

He was 26 years old. Failure to receive pension money drove Enoch Ikleman of Weathersfield, N. 54 years, to suicide. He hung himself in his barn. Because she had been beaten by her husband, Mrs.

David Worden of Fort Wayne set fire to her house and threw herself into the flames. In a fit of delirium the Rev. J. L. Denton, Superintendent of Public Instruction of Arkansas, cast himself from a balcony at Fayetteville and was killed.

It is said that Ross W. Lichty, Allegheny committed suicide because a gypsy fortune teller had predicted that he would die by his own hand 011 that day. Matthew Conley, 13 years old, of Claremont, N. shot at his dog hitting it in the tail. His mother censured him, and he shot himself through the heart.

A dispute as to the division of a small sum of money caused Wiliam F. Sauhe, living in the outskirts of Cincinnati, to murder, his son, aged 31 years, and kill himself with a razor. Miss Blair of Camden, S. a very handsome woman, recently committed suicide. Her great grandfather was hanged, her grandmother committed suicide, her father was tried for murder, and escaped only to be killed by another, and one of her brothers is serving a life sentence for murder.

A Hoosier Raid. An excursion party from Indiana, numbering about 250, arrived here last night from Indianapolis. They are all natives of Guilford, Alamance, Rockingham, Randolph and Davidson. They made a on mine host, of the Central, for breakfast and later on Vanstory's livery stable. Many of them have not visited North Carolina in twenty years.

They all look well and vigorous, and are fine specimens of Honsier manhood -Greensboro Pa troit. (Enterprise.)
