Lewis M. Williams, Esq., Clerk of the
Market, paid in to the City Treasury
for market frees received by him, the
snug little sum of $2,204.04 for the fiscal
year ending last July 1st.
Messrs Holmes & Watters will receive
lots of goods next week and expect to open
their new grocery, house on the 10th
inst. They make their first bow to the
public in this isssuo of the Review.
A meeting of the special Committee for
the Board of Aldermen, relative to the
proposition for the removal of the Market
House, was held last evening but no
positive action was taken in the matter.
A very nice thing for a lady to keep is
a bottle of dress wash on her dressing
table always fur little spots on her gar
ments: One quart of boiling water, half-an-ounce
of camphor, one ounce of borax;,
after cooling, half-a-pint of alcohol.
The Dime Party given last night by
the Lutheran Sunday School was largely
attended and the patronage was more
than was realy expected. The ladies
sold out every tb ng. The proceeds make
quite a handsome little sume, abcut $75
having Jbecn netted.
Mesrss T B Henderson &Co have remov
ed thur grocery and commission business
to the store oa the West side of Front
street two doors North of Market, recently
occupied b y Mr. Jno. U. Aliens whtra
they will be pleased to see and ser ve thier

Have used Dr. Bull s Cough Syrup and
pronounce it tho best medieine in use. A
case of consu mption here was cured by its
use. We cheerfully recommend it to
all sufferers. Jeffress, Roberts fc Co.,
South Boston, Va., November 17, 1876.
Gone to Texas.
Capt John W. Hinson, formerly ju
nior member of tho firm of Spiunt &
Hinson, of this city, but now doing busi
ness in New York, was in town last light
on a briel business visit. He. left this
morning in company with Mr. II. IIol
lingsworth, of Magnol a, Dup.in cjunty
for Texas. They expeet to be absent about
six weeks.
Calm and Serene.
Paddy's Hollow, Thompson's A ley and
the Lonjj House on Surry street seem lo
have been on their good behavior recently,
consequently we have bceu without our
uaual interesting item of the City Court
for several days. This speaks volumes for
the peace and good order of the city, but
"its tarnation hard on reporters" who arc
hungry for items.
The New City Attorney.
Mayor Fishblate has tendered the ap
pointment of City Attorney, made vacant
by the death of the lamented Col.
Devane, to Mr. Frank H. Darby, a rising
young lawyer of this city, and a gentle
man of decided ability. Mr. Darby, we
understand, baa accepted. We presume
that the matter will necessarily come be
fore the Board of Aldermen for rati fica
tion, at their meeting on Monday night.
Amusements.
The Pathfinders a la Troubadours, who
made an immense hit in Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Louisville and the South in
their great protean musical extravagang
of "Scraps" will appear at the Oj era
House in this city on Wednesday and
Thursday evening of next week The
Company have received the highest
praise from the press where ever they have
been and it is safe to say that Wilming
ton has in store a rare treat of pure,
healthy fun. Reserved seats for either
evening are now en sale at Heinsberger's.
Confederate Money Wanted.
We Copy the following from an
exchange, as of interest to those holding
the notes in question: "Con federate
money issued in 1861 is eagerly sought
after by "curiosity" hunters, notes issued
at Montgomery, Ala., of the denomina
tions of $50, $100, $500 and $1,000,
being the rarest. A set of these notes
in good condition will sell readily for
$100 in gold. Next in value are the
notes engraved by the "Southern Bank
Note Company" in 1861. One of these
a twenty dollar note with an engraving
representing a female riding a deer, is
worth its fsoe value in gold. Some of
the issues of 1862 are worth something;
but after that year the issue of Confederate
States money is scarcely worth preserv
ing
Literary.
Ihe Count Dk Camobs. Tue Maw
of the Second Empire. By Octave
Feuillot. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson &
Brothers. Wilmington: P. Heinsberger.
The Count de Camors is to French life
what Pelham was to English. Young,
handsome, rarely gifted, rich, successful,
the Count de Camors is the typica
Frenchman of the Second Empire. Its
rare beauty as a work of art, the wea
drous skill with which the author handles
a most delicate subject, audits exquisite
grace, have attracted universal interest,
for no romance has ever appeared in Paris,
which has so excited society and the crit
ics as "The Count de Camors," all of
whom admit the uncommon merit of its
execution, and the skill with which Feuil
let hos carried out its'plot to the end, and
t hat, read aright, the lessons to bo drawn
from its pages are of the highest moral
character. All who wish to seethe inner
life of Paris as it was in its highest
spheres, and the social rottenness con
cealed under that glittering pageant
French society, during the Second Em
pire should read this book.
Lindsay's Luck. A Love Story. By
Mrs. Francos Uogson Burnett, author of
"That Lass O'Lowrie'a," "Kathleen,'
"Theo," Ac, &c. Philadelphia: T. B.
Peterson & Brothers. Wilmington: P.
Heinsberger.
Lindsay's Luck shews the qualities that
have given the books of this authoress
their great popularity the characters in
it being all wonderfully life like, and ad
mirably pictured. It is a charming tale,
a delightfully fresh creation, pure in sen
timent and action and full of force and
dramatic power, and is a love story.
Mr. Jno, P. Savage, a young man
about twenty-five years ef age, residing at
Smithvilie, and a No. 1 pilot, died very
suddenly at his residence lsst evening.
Committed for Perjury.
Mason Holme3, colored was convicted
yesterday Ixf ;re a Justice's Court of per
jury and bound over to the Crimnal
Conrt in the sum of $100, in default of
wh:-ch he was turned over to the tender
mercies of Dan Howard, proprietor of the
House of Detention located on Princess,
between Third and Fouith tree's
Wlii Crowed Dat Brick?
A colored female denizen of Paddy's
Hallow, in the excitement of a "cad
spell,'' threw a brick into the window of
tho establishment of that claaaij precinct,
to-day, and demolished part of a window
sash and a few piucj of slass. But little
damage was duuo to property, and no
damage to persou or reputation, to far as
we cm judge.
Hunting.
Little boys are not prevented frc m
hunting by u lack of ammunition;
one buck-shot sufficing lor a morning's
hunt. The other day little Jerry Smith
started out beyond the suburbs, robiu
hunting, armed with a sling and one
shot. A rolfiu was dispatched, cut open,
the shot take- out and another bird killed
with the same shot equal to killing two
birds with ore etcne.
An Argument in Beha!f ot Chnrch
Going.
Did you over notice what a small r.rc
portion of thepeopie attend church? We
have enough people able to go to church ;
to fill the churches each Sabbath, and yet,
empty benches often discourage the preach,
ers. Why so,? Can't we spara a couplf
of hours out of a hundred and sixty-eight?
Church going harms no one. It gives the
business man new zal, the lawyer new
ideas, the farmer hope, while to the weary
and heart sick, it brings joy unspeakable.
Try it to-morrow, a ,d you will find that
during the following week your business
will have a charm never experienced bafcre;
the wheels of 1 if 3 will run -without ajar,
and Saturday night will brin with it a
happiness born of conscious duty well per
formod Moral Character.
There is nothing which adds so much
to the beauty aud power of man as good
moral character. It is his wealth, his in
fluence, his life. It dignifies him in
very station, exalts him in every con
dition and glorifiies him in every period of
life. Such a character is more to be do
sired than everything else ou earth. It
makes a man free and independent. No
servile tool, no croaking sycophant, no
treacherous honor seeker ever bore such a
character. The pure joys of truth a d
righteous never spring in such a person. If
young men but knew how much a good
character would dignify and exalt therm
how glorious it would make their pros
pects, even in this life, never should we
find them yielding to the groveling and
base born purposes ef human nature.
Criminal Court.
The case of Ben Brawn, colored, ccn"
victed of perjury, about a year ao, which
was carried the Supreme Court, upon ap
peal by defendant, where judgment of th
lower court was affirmed, was taken up
to-day for the purpose of passing sentence
upon the prisoner.
The mercy of the Court was prayed by
defendant's oounwl in consideration of the
fact that the defendant bad always borne
an excellent character up to the liruo of
his indictment, which fact being estab
lished by several highly respectable wit
nesses. His Honor suspended judgment
upon payment of costs.
The case ef Hector Davi3 was left open
for further argument and the Court ad
journed until Monday.
Cheeky.
Ohio has recently attained to some uo- j
toriety as' a country to furnish statesmen j
who cculd run tbe wheels cf government
in any of its various departrxenta, and we
had been led to believe that the average'
Ohio man was a politiciin. We have1
been mistaken. There are mcu in that
State who have an eye aloud to badness.
There is a urm in Cincinnati who make1
iron baking pans, and they .have Bent usj
a copy of an advertisement to tucr lour j
times in the Review, which, a; our reg
alar rates would amount to !
for which they offer to send us a baking
pan an iron biking pan. We decline
the ad., for we are not yet prepared to j
give $32 for a baking pan. The New .
York Herald is ose of the most prominent i
advertising journals in the country, andj
moreover it is rich and can afford the lux
uries of Irfe.and very posoibly that paper
may be induced to take tho baking pan . i
Ceasar Williams, a colored lunatic, who
was sent to jail in this c ur.ty on the 23d
of October last, died at that institution
