Illness of Dr. Ennett. We regret t larn that intelligence has beeu received here of the severe illness again, ot Dr. W. T. Ennett, of, Pender, who was thought by his attending physi cian and frieads a few days ago to be in a fair way of recovery. We can only hope that our worst fears may not be realized and that this worthy gentleman may yet be spared to his family and State, for there are few within our knowledge who have served their families with equal de votion and there are none, we venture the assertion, who were more zealous in their country's cause, during the war, than this gallant gentleman who surrendered at Appomattax as Major of tho Third N. C. Infantry, Commanding Cox's brigade. Such men and such citizens can ill afford to be spared now, and we earnestly trust that our friend may live to enjoy some of the blessings of honest government, for which he has striven so hard and made so many sacrifices to bring about.

For Brides only The materials for bridal robes this sea son are remarkably elegant. Extremists In fashion select brocades satin brocad for brides over twenty years of age, and silk brocade for joungers. brides though plain satin, by conventional consent the one material always in vogue for the bridal robe is clamored for by some ; while plain gres grain silk has its votaries, . and India mull, Swiss mull,"and French organ dy muslin dresses are sent out for youthful rustic brides, who do not feel willing to afford the expense of a dress more costly ine sines satins and gauzes which are shown for bridal robes are in several dis tinct tint s of wlfite and several distinct shades of these tints. In cream white, for instance, there is the dark, rich, yellowish shade of the Aldemey cream J twenty-four hours old; and, according to the age of the cream, paler shades, till th3 faintest "eff color" is visible. In pearl white we era shown a tint that .almost approaches the smoke pearl in shade ; another, that has a suspicion of rose iu tint ; another, with the faintest soupcon of lilac this being quite perceptible oh the wrong sida of plain satin or satin brocade; and from these scarcely perceptible hints ol color, in the silk fabrics displayed, there are fainter and fainter shades, till the existence of a coiored ray is distinguishable only when aid beside a piece of snow-white silk. Cream white of the medium shade is that in the most decided faor for the! bridal robe ; and of the whites is that which is regarded as the most becoming or tlie leas1 rying to the complexion. .
