The thief or thieves effected an entrance through the back window by prizing off the large iron bar and bolt which was used in securing the blind. A crow bar was used by a Btrong hand and after prizing off tbe bar and opening the win dow a very small man or boy crawled in through the iron grating on the inside of the window. The thiol dropped some of the tobacco on tbe floor near the window in making his exit and no doubt was frightened off by passing footsteps, kr. Wessell estimates his loss at something ovsr one hundred dollars. A Souvenir or the Pa it. We saw at the City Clerk and Treas urer's office this morning a record of the accounts of the eld town government un der the then commissioners of ths town of Wilmington, in the shape of a city Ledger, in which appear ths names of many old and highly esteemed citizens who have longsinoe disappeared from the busy scenes of life, their mortal remains having returned to their mother earth while their spirits, let us hope, having been gathered to their fathers am "where the wicked cease from troubling aad the weary are at rest." The earliest date of the Ledger begins with the year 1806, and among the nemos that appear in its pages whieh at one time were familiar te the citizens ef Wilmington, we noticed Gabriel Holmes, Jas. F. McRee, Arch. MacRae, Thomas Cowan, Jas, C. Dan. bibin, R. H. Cowan, M. Walker, John Walker and A. J. DeBeeset, ail ef whom have descendants now living in our midst, REVIEW. TUESDAY.

On motion of Capt. W. R. Kenan the thanks of the Exchange were tendered to the retiring officers of the Board. On motion it was ordered that on Good Friday, (the 11th inst ) the Ex change will be closed, and no business transacted by ths Board on that day. PRE-IDENT8 REPORT. OenUemen of the Wilmington Produce Exchange ; It has been customary for the Presi dent on behalf of the Board of Managers of the Exchange to present an annual communication giving the statistics for ths past year and presenting such con siderations for the welfare of your body as may seem timely and pertinent. I will at once proceed to a resume of ths business of this port for the twelve months ending March 31st: Receipts of cotton from September 1st, 1878 105,841 bales Receipts of cotton for same time last year 117,417 Falling off. 11,66 " Receipts ef spirits turpentine from April 1st, 1878 to April 1st, 1879 109,574 casks Receipts of spirits turpentine from April 1st, 1877 to April 1st, 1878 109707 " Falling off. 182 " Receipts of Rosin from April 1st, 1878, to April 1st, 1879 681,739 bbls Receipts of Rosin from April 1st. 1877, to April 1st, '78.538.259 " Dscrease 43 480 " Receipts of Tar from April 1st, 1878 to April lst,1879 78,116 bbls Receipts of Tar from April 1st, 1877 to April 1st 1878.61,674 Increase 61,442 " Receipts ef Cruds Turpentine from April lit, 1878,to April 1st 1879 . 154,985 bl'f Receipts of Crude Turpentine from April 1st, 1877, to April 1st, 1878 .142,360 " Increase 12,625 " Exports cotton foreign for year ending March 81st, 1879, 64.481 bales. Do for year ending "March 3lst, 1878, 54,828 bales. Increase, 19,608 bales. Exports cotton domestic for year end ing March 81st, 1879, 38,856 bales. Do. for year ending March 31st, 1878, 60,297 bales Decrease, 21,441 bales Exports spirits turpentine foreign, for year ending March 31st, 1879. 95.397 barrels. Do for year ending March 31st. 1878, 87,675 barrels. Increase, 7,722 bar rels. Exports spirits turpentice, domestic, for year ending March 31st. 1879, 12,86 ) barrels. Do. for year ending March 3 1st, 1878, 19.573 barrels. Decrease 6,713 barrels. Exports rosin foreign for year ending March 31st, 1879. 490,337 barrels. Do. for year ending Marcti Slat, 1878. 435, 821 barrels. Increase, 54,616 barrels. Exports rosin domestic for year end ing March 31st, 1879, 70.495 barrels Do domestic for year ending March 31 t 1878, 77,486 barrels. Decrease 6,99 barrels. Exports tar foreign for year ending March 3Lt, 1879, 35 055 barre s. Do for year ending March 31st, 1878, 30,862 barrels. Increase, 4,193 barrels. Exports tar domestic for year ending March 31st, 1879, 35 186 barr-ls. Do f r year ending March 31st, 1878, 31,733 barrels. Increase, 3 45S barrels. From these statistics it will be baeo that ths receipts of cotton and spirits turpen tine are less than those of tbe previous year while the receipts of rosin, ur and crude turpentine are greater, the navel store receipts, as a whole, being fully equal to the pre vio us year. With increased facilities for comprising cottou if was reasonably supposed that the receipts must be increased, but some change in the control of the railroad from Oolumbii to Augusta will probably account tor the falling off. In ear foreign experts there is an io creass in cotton, spirits, turpentine, rosin aad tar and a decrease in domestic exports in all but tar,aboriug,a steadily increasing direct trade, while ths diminution of domestic shipments is accounted for bv the immense production of naval storm to the South of us dividing the trade. The merchants of Wilmington have a well-deserved reputation for energy, in dustry and intelligence and they should direct their attention more unitedly, and persistently, to the furthering of all schemes that will promote the interests ef our city and increase our general busi ness. Private b utilises interests should not so absorb their minds aa to cans thm to loos sight of public interests ef vital importance. In this connection l with to ceil the attention of tbe mer chants to the importance of sustaining 8, 1879 NO. 53 this Exchange j there is entire'y too much indiffererce maniiested and the burden f the work and expense has to be borne by a fpw while the benefits are shared by all. The rules and rfgnla ionf established have proved so beneficial and while doing their work so sileutly that they seem to be unappreciated, they do it so effectually that all enjoy the benefit as ths rain from Heaven "falls alike on th just and the unjust" so the workings of tnis UiXcnange benf ht the entire business community, members and nou-members There hss been no case before the Arbitration Committee duriog the year a remarkable fast. Showing the great benefit of the Exchange in perfecting a system which prevents litigation and ex pense, , There is a want of . attention on the part of the Committee od Quotations as it frequently happens that only one of each Committee is present, represent ing only one interest. This should be corrected in some way. I csll you attention to the prompt and correct work of the Secretary, in all matters of stock statistics and duties per taining to his office and commend his faithfulness. The report of the Treasurer will show yu tbe Onancial condition of the Ex change and what will be required for the ensuing year. Death has removed from our midst and councils one of our noblest and best one we could not spare but in obedience to ths mandate of our Heavenly Father, -who tees the end from the beginning and knows what is best.". The resolutions on our record book testify our appreciation of the worth and character of Isaac B Grainger in fitter terms than I can use In conclusion I have to thank you for the consideration shown to the Beard of Managers and myself during our term of office, for the pleasant intercourse and good fellowship, and wishing for the Ex changes continued prosperity and useful ness, Respectively submitted, G. H. Rc-BINBON, President. Fire at Magnolia. Yesterday, about 11 o'clock, a. m., the dwelling house belonging to the estate of the late Kev. D. B. Nicholson, at Magno lia, Duplin county, caught fire and, to gether with the kitchen, was entirely con sumed. The report that the storehouse and office belonging to the same property were also consumed was an error, as they received no material injury, although in such close proximity as to make then es cape from destruction almost miraculous. The Orator on Memorial Day. Captain John N. Maffitt, late of the Confederate Navy and Commander of the privateer Florida, has been invited by the Ladies' Memorial Association of this city to deliver the annual address on the 10th day of May next Memorial Day which invitation this gallant old salt and brave Confederate has accepted. We con gratulate the ladies of the Memorial As sociation upon their happy selection; for sinct the days of the brave Nc'son who, on that ever memorable occasion at Tra talagar, reminded the office and men f his tleet that "this day England expects every man to do his duty," no braver spirit has ever trod the quarter-deck of a man-ef war. Captain Maffitt has not only a reputation ao a brave and efficient officer, but he is something of a histori an as well, and knows how to put sylla bles and sentences together in a manner to charm and phase the intellectual fac ulties of his readers. H M S Pinafore. Well, we have had the Pinafore again in our city. We bad it last uight, if it did rain. No postponement on account of the weather, you know. In many re speets it was much better than the performance of the Holman troupe; in some respects it was merely tbe equal and in one or two features it was inferior. It was better in the performance and the vocal excsllence of its ladies; in having a better Buttercup, in having a very su perior basso profundi and in having its musie under a director who was pains taking, careful and efficient. It was the equal in its Captain Corcoran and Sir Joseph Porter and Dick Deadeye; and it was cert inly inferior in ita Ralph Rmckstraw; inferior both iasMmnre and voice. As a whjie, the psJHpce was much better than tbe former, and as such it was appreciated by ths audience. Mr J. M. Brow.i, the Cmptain Cjrcoran, is a Wt.mingtonisn,' and be has reason te be proud of the enthusiastic reception given him by his acquaintances and friends last night. His stage presence was good, hit impersonation correct and hit rich and resonant baritone voice dis played the care and culture ef the thorough musician.
