1877. For the 8tar. Address of Hon George Davis on Next Wadneaday Mignt. MttBflu Editors We were pleased to see the announcement in your valuable paper a few gdays ago, mat tne non. (ieoree Davis had Kindly consentea to de liver before the Philomathean Interary So ciety, on Wednesday night next, at the Uoera House, his address on ine Times and Men of Pear." The mere announcement that Mr.

Greoree Da vis, the most eloquent speaker of the Cape Fear region, will deliver the address, is a' perfect guarantee of success. Few of our citizens are familiar with tne characters that make up the early history of our sec lion, and we trust that all those by whom historic learning and sectional patriotism are valued, will be present on Wednesday evening next, not only to enjoy the treat in store for them, but also to encourage the young men who constitute the Society. This Society has now been in existence for over five years, and through the indefatigable exertions of its numerous members it has achieved a success well merited and far superior to any institution of the kind ever established in our midst. To the Society, consisting en tirely of young men, no better subject for discussion could possibly have been selected. The names of Cornelius Harnett, Francis Clayton, Robert Howe and Arch.

McLaln, and the numerous other heroes whose achievements have won such glorious renown for themselves and their nation, are of the "immortal names that were not born to die." "These are deeds which should not pass away, And names that most not wither." It is said of Diadorus Siculus, that tne Romans were in the habit of placing in tbe vestibules of then houses busts of their illustrious dead, so that in passing in and out their virtues and achievements might be come familiar to their youth, and at an early age accustom them to the contemplation of greatness and insensibly implant a desire to achieve it. So let it be with the good people of the Cape Fear section; but if it cannot be carried out to that extent, let them at least give such encouragement to the young as they can, on this occasion, by attending the lecture delivered under the auspices of their Society, and being edified by the learned and eloquent lectu rer.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures of Consumption than any other remedy known to the American public They are compounded of ve getable ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the human constitution.

Other as cures for Consumption, prob ably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by consump tive patients it must do great injury; for its tenden cy is to confine the morbid matter in the system, which, of coarse, mast make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted to contain not a particle of opium: it is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on longs, liver, stomach and blood, and thus coirect all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. They are the only means by which Consump tion can be curea.and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Con sumption Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions.

Raleigh Observer: In answer to a letter of inquiry by one of the Superior Uourt Clerks of the state, Treasurer Worth 'I am informed by the Attorney General that the seal affixed to acknow ledgments of deeds and other instruments under tbe provisions of chapter 161, laws of 1876-'7, is not subject to tne tax imposed in section 4, schedule of the act to raise revenue." Mt. Airv Visitor: On Mon day last, during the heavy wind, rain and thunder storm which passed over this place, tbe dwelling house of Mr. James A. Deatherage, about two miles east of Mt. Airy, was struck by lightning, which com pletely demolished one of the windows and gave Mr.

Deatberage and his family a considerable shock, and also killing a guinea. Mr. Deatberage himself very nar rowly escaped being killed, as he had just ett the window when the thunderbolt descended. The Danbnry Reporter new se ries, has entered its second volume. Re ferring to its management, it says: Some of our friends may have imagined that we did not puff them into sufficient notoriety, and are offended because we sought to serve the public instead of individual inter ests.

But it is our opinion, and we make it a rule in business, that true manhood need never be advertised, and that it is only the impostor who would complain of truth ul criticism, or hope for constant and ex aggerated compliment. Raleigh News: Dr. Blacknall, the proprietor of the Yarbrongh House, gave a complimentary dinner yesterday to the graduating class of the University, and to a few friends of himself and these young gentlemen. We are reliably informed that the carpet-bag ring are making an ef fort to disnlace li. u.

Badger. United States District Attorney for this District, to get one of themselves or one of their crea tures appointed. The pretext which they use against Mr. Badger is that he was anti- probibition in our late city election. Goldsboro Messenger: The town of Selma was visited by a severe storm, accompanied by thunder and light nine, last Friday evening.

We learn that the residence of Dr. J. W. Vick was struck by lightning, damaging the build mg severely, but fortunately doing no other damage. Mr.

Lawrence W. Vick and the family of Dr. Vick were in the opposite part of the house at the time, but we are glad to hear escaped with being slightly stunned, from which they soon re covered. A large mastiff who at the time of the shock was under tbe bouse was more seriously stunned but has since got ten over it. Milton Chronicle: We have been blessed with copious showers this week, and the planters have been busy planting tobacco.

A larger crop than ever before known has been planted. The best daily paper in the State, in our humble judgment, is the Wilmington Stab judged from a newsy standpoint. In politics it has the ring of the right metal. Work is being energetically pushed on the Milton ttutherlin Narrow Gauge Railroad. With a force of eighty convicts about half a mile has been graded.

We learn that Maj. Temple, the chief engineer, says without any interruption they can grade one milo a week, which will complate the grading in seven weeks to Milton. J. R. Snowden, of the Treasury Department, has inspected the mint at Charlotte, N.

which is now in operation as an assay office, and is a great convenience to the gold mining interests of that region. Mr. bnowden's report favors the re-establishment of coinage op erations there, and that a deposit of gold be kept at the Philadelphia mint subject to the order of the superintendent at Charlotte. The production since the mint was established in 1837 amounts to $20,000,000, and would have been much greater had more improved methods of reduction of ores been used. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

The body was brought to the wharf and attached to the end of a flat, information of the recovery of the same being dispatched to' Coroner Hewlett, who soon after arrived with his jury and proceeded to hold an inquest over the re mains.

In the meantime a large crowd of colored people and some whites had gathered in the vicinity to get a glimpse of the corpse, which was subsequently re moved into the dock, foot of Chesnut street. The body of tbe unfortunate man was very much swollen, and bore the appear ance about the face of having suatained some injury, probably by the collision of the flats, which were only about two feet apart when he fell between them. The jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death from accidental drowning. Mayer's Court.

Two or three cases of drunkenness and disorderly conduct were disposed of and one was continued over. Mayor Dawson took occasion during the session of the Court to remark that it was the least of his desire to take the hard-earned money of the poor in fines and pen alties in his Court; that he preferred to run the city on different principles; but at the same time he cautioned those who showed a disposition to persist in violating the law by getting drunk and acting in a disorderly manner, that he should be compelled to in flict such punishment as the law had pro vided for eases of this character.
