NORTH CAROLINA NEWS. ? Robert Ritchey, of Catawba county, claims to have been robbed on the highway j near Newton, by five men, one night last week, who, he says, took from him $144 in ! cash. ? Edward Brown, the son of wealthy parents, took laudanum at Smithfield last, Thursday night, from the effects of which he ; died on Friday morning. He had spent his money lavishly, and being reprimanded by his parents, drank until his brain was affected, and then took poison. ? The report of the warden of the North Carolina penitentiary shows that the total number of convicts in theState, December 1, 1883, was 1,013. Of these 960 were males, and 63 females. Of the males 113 were ??_ *_ . ooo Of iho fo Willie, X illumu, OtJU UU1U1CU. v.'? UIIV .V | males 5 were white, 58 colored. ? Cato J. Jenks, aged 53 years, a merchant of Apex, Wake county, has deserted his sick wife and three little children andeloped with Varina Pearson, the 13 year old daughter of his clerk. The girl is very delicate and is small for her age. Endeavors are being made to intercept them. Their relations assert that they have gone to Illinois. The affair has caused a great sensation. ? The Newton Enterprise says that Mrs. Pinckney Lineberger of Catawba county, ^ presented her husband last Sunday two girls and one boy. All were alive and are still doing well. One is a prodigy, in that it has not a particle of a skull. Its brains are only covered by a thin, transparent skin, but in every other respect it is as well developed as the others, and seems as healthy as any. ?Gastonia GhtzeJte, Friday: Dr. J. R. Bratton, of Yorkville, came up last Wednesday evening, to assist Dr. J. B. Hunter,of (rastoii county, in performing a surgical operation on a little cnild of Mr. M. A. Rhyne, which is seriously ill with hydrocephalus, or water in the head. The operation has * been deferred for the present. They meet again for consultation in about ten days. MERE-MENTION. Hon. John C. New, of Indiana, has tendered his resignation as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. It is estimated that the Illinois Central Railroad handles a million trunks in six months, unhandling not less than a quarter of them. It is a great trunk line. An explosion of gas occurred last Thursday in the Crested Butte coal mino f1ninmrin. nnd fiftv nine men and one boy, in the chamber at the time, are supposed to have been killed. James Nutt, ^ who was on trial at Pittsburg, Pa., last week for the murder of Dukes, the slayer of young Nutt's father, was acquitted. The Judge's charge was against the prisoner; but the jury viewed the matter differently. Insurance papers say that the losses by fire in r this country last year aggregate $103,000,000. Miles Hall, arrested at Catlettsburg, Ky., last week for bigamy, is only 19 years old, but it is said he has four wives, and was about to marry a fifth when captured. Ex-Governor Letcher, of Virginia, died at his home in Lexington, last Saturday morning. The Minnesota State prison at Stillwater was destroyed by fire last Saturday night. Despite all efforts, every building was consumed, though no lives were lost. All the property destroyed belonged to the State, and was partially insured. Female suffrage is a failure in Vermont. Of 314 women who had a right to vote at a recent election in Burlington, only eight exercised the privilege. Mayor Cummings, of Bangor, Maine, has again yetoed standard time, on the ground that solar time is according to "one of the inevitable laws of God." Congressman E. W. M. Mackey, of the Seventh South Carolina district, died in Washington on Monday last. His death was sudden and unexpected. He died from peritonitis. v'The Senate has confirmed the nomination of Emory Speer to be United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. The health of Jefferson Davis is extremely poor this winter. His eyes give him much trouble and his step is feeble. Congress has resolved to send an expedition to the relief of Lieut. Greely regardless of what the expense may be. A few days previous to Congressman Mackey's * death he nominated Robert Shaw Wilkins, colored, of Beaufort, aged 19, for a West Point eadetship.

And now, "friends countrymen and lovers," hear me for the cause of the celebrated Irish Hone, a pure animal bone Acid Phosphate, unquestionably superior to, and cheaper at the price asked for it, than any Rock Acid. I have heretofore been unable to supply the demand for this brand of goods, and my supply again being limited, I desire to furnish first, if possible, all those who have been using it. I would feel obliged, therefore, if you would call the first day < you are in town, or "drop me a line" by mail, stating how much you are likely to need, and T will keep it for you. .FOII.V C.
