The excitement was intense in and
around the Court house to-day,
during the trial of Messrs. Robert
Murphy, M. M. Pard w, and Dr.
L. S. Lash for assaulting Mr. J. L.
May. This altercation, which occur

been caused by an article published
in the "Sheaf," a paper which Mr.
May runs in connection with his
regular business "f depot agent at
Summerfield. Mr. Murphy, who is
a conductor on the C. F. & Y. V. equaled by any of the past publishers.

THE NORFOLK BURGLARS.
Murray and Ward who were arras
ted in Richmond and sent to Norfolk
upon the suspicion of complicity in
the robbery of Chapman & Gale' a
jewelry store a few weeks ago were
brought to trial on Tuesday and there
being no proof of their guilt they
were discharged, where upon Murra'
was immediately rearrested upon a
requisition from the State of Con
necticut upon an accusation of bur
glary in tht State. Before they
were brought out for trial, Murray
confessed the crime and made known
the place of concealment of the stolen
jewelry upon condition that they
should not be prosecuted for the
robbery. The agreement was fairly
complied with and after some testi.
mony as to the value of the articles
etolen from the jewelry store and
other immaterial matters a verdict of
not guilty was taken and the accused
criminals discharged. The prisoners
before the trial confessed that they
were concerned with a gang of bur
glar! and had robbed the store of
Messrs. Chapman & Gale on the
Saturday night which was known,
that immediately upon the robbery
they had left the city of Norfolk with
the stolen jewelry, had gone into the
country and concealed it in an oil
cloth bag some three miles from the
city. Immediately upon this infor
mation the detectives went to the
place designated and commenced to
dig in the ground for the concealed
property. They soon came upon the
diamonds, watches and other jewelry,
which were identified as that of
Chapman & Gale. The watches
were much damaged by rough hand
ling, but the jewellers were consid
ered fortunate in recovering the
property in the condition it was. It
was testified on the trial that the
property taken from the safe was
worth $15,000. Something was as
certained of the history of the bur
glars. Ward and Murray were expert
burglars, had operated in Europe and
in this country, in cities and villages
and had served out terras in the peni
tentiary. It was learned from them
that they were able, with the instru
ments they had, to enter any safe in
twenty minutes. Economist.
OF ENCOURAGE
MENT. The editor, in a private letter from
Mr. II. J. Dowell. Commission Mer
chant at Raleigh, received the fol
lowing words of encouragement, for
which we extend our sincere thanks :
Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 22d, '88.
Mr. Editor : It is with pleasure
that I receive and peruse the Fisher
man & Farmer weekly, and the old
adage, "tall oaks from small aeorns
grow," is verified in your journal. I
consider it the newsest and most
readable paper published in Eastern
Carolina, especially and to those who
are interested or know the place and
people as I do. I am glad to see
such a worthy enterprise sustained
ana nopo to ee its influence main-
tained to an extent heretofore un
may she live and flourish for the
1
good, not only of Edenton and
Chowan county but the State atlarjje,
and especially, for those who follow
a noble calling fishermen and farm
ers. THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
The Shell fish Commission met last
week at Englehard to hear a prevent
against their decision as to the Public
Grounds of Far Creek. The prote3
tants claimed that one of the areas
set apart was not a natural oyster bed
and consequently should not be re
served from entry. After examining
the ground and hearing testimony on
both sides, the Commissioners de
cided to modify the previously deter
mined boundaries of the . area, and
the decision arrived at was satisfac
tory to both sides. The decision as
to the Public Grounds of Hjde and
Carteret counties was made at the
ame meeting and both of those
counties will be open for entry in the
course of a short time. A firm of
Connecticut oyster growers have
applied for blanks for twenty appli-
camts for 640 acres each. If these
applicants are made and the ground
entered, the North Carolina oyster
grounds will begin to experience a
decided boom. Economist.
NEW BERNE FAIR.
There are to be many interesting
features at the Craven County Fish,
Oyster and Game Fair, which comes

March. A tournament, a street pa
rade of one of the most efficient fire
departments in the South, and a glass
ball and clay pigeon shooting.
special low rates over railroad and
steamboat lines in the State, and ex
cursion rates from points North have

FISH IN DEMAND.
The demand for fish as food is
continually on the inciease. An in
telligent dealer from New York told
us the other day that it is nearly
double what it was only a short while
ago. Not only is it growing in New
xork, Phi ladelphia and Baltimore,
but thrf demand from all the West
ern cities has lareely increased. The
Albemarle Fisheries of North Caro
lina furnish the first and best supplies.
