An octagonal base built of brick to a height of some six feet will, we learn, support a floor for a hand stand and the tower will be completed above it to the height of fifty-three feet above the ground. It is to be hoped that it will be orna mental as well as useful. One of our old subscribers who or dered his paper stopped the first of the year writes us: “Enclosed you will find $1.50.

The supper was elegant in all its appoint ments. Altogether, a more pleasant social event has rarely occurred in our city. The friends of Mrs. Judge A. C. Av ery of Morganton, N. C., says the Richmend State will be grieved to hear of her death in that place on Wednesday morning last after a long illness. Her sister, Mrs. General T. J.

On last Wednesday evening by in vitation of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Mc- Comb, a number of their numerous friends assembled to indulge in the fascinating game of Euchre. After the prizes were delivered, which by the w T ay was something unusual, the same lady, Mrs. S. C. Jones, winning both at the head and foot table, the guests partook of the refreshments so lavishly spread by the inimitable hostess. 'It would indeed take an Epicurian pen to do this part of the entertainment justice, suffice it to say it was simply elegant, and enjoyed to the fullest extent by those who were so fortunate as to be present. Both Mr. and Mrs. McComb de serve the warm appreciation of those who delight in the social pleasure of life, as they use every effort to make those happy w r ith whom they are thrown in social, private, and public life. The Euchre Party of the 31st of Marcli will long remembered by those who were present. B. A negro named Gus Brown, living at J. H. Goodson’s in this county, was charged in Hancock county with theft, and Capt. Ennis, our Sheriff, went to arrest him. He refused at first to surrender, but ft lick over the head from the Sheriff’s pistol brought him to terms. As Capt. Ennis went to slip the handcuffs over his wrists, lie renewed his resistance and after a severe scuffle succeeded in getting possession of the pistol, and finally got away. Capt. Ennis suffered pret ty severe bodily injury, and is now very anxious to get hold of him. He requests all civil officers to be on the watch, and take him if possible. The following is his description : he is a yellow negro, 175 to 190 pounds weight, hair shingled close, about 23 to 25 years of age and as strong as a Kentucky mule.
