The teller of one of our city banks was very much astonished this morning when a deputation of ladks, matrons grave and lassies fair, marched up to hi desk and deliberately counted out about two thous ana coppers, tor which larger currency was politely requested. Bat for the surprise of tbe Bank Officer we fear our fair friend would have had a bootless errand coppers to that amount at least, not being a very desirable addi tion t a eah drawer. A it wa, how- o .... m " m . - . ever, bauh on s were duly subatitutea, and that teller is bow wandering what it When ne read tut he will flume time ago certain ladies of one ef our church congregations organized a Sewing Society. They gave it at the time no distiactive appellation, but sub spqaent events caued it to be denomina" ted "The Society for Making Aprons and Selling them for Ten Oenti a piece and Applying the Proceeds to the Payment of tbe Oharch Debt." The male relatives of tbe said ladies were elected honorary members, their privileges being to escort tbe other members from and to the meetings, to re frain from making suggestions, or listen ing to the confidential confab which the working members might be supposed to wish to indulge in, and finally, to make good any difference between what ought to be accumulated and what actually was. We have not space to enumerate all the good the Society actually accomplished bat we have beard that among other benefits the trade in aprons in the City was so enlivened that new stocks have been ordered. It is laid also that ose merchant alone sold about two hundred patterns. Who bought them is not known, but it is certain that each member of the Society had a package of seven left at her residence, with request to "have them done by this even ing." Last night the final meeting was held, and the earnings were to be counted Yesterday mysterious looking little packages were left at the homes of the fair sempstresses with this cautien dis tinctly written there on: "Not to be opened before the meeting." The agony of curiosity endured all day by that troubled Society is possibly not comprehensible to the masculine mind, but the ladies were amply rewarded when en opening the packages at night they found, in each, thirty-six large coppers, oi all countries, shades of colors, dates &s. aeatly put up in cotton. The ladies fin ished counting their funds about 12 o'clock, and then unanimously resolved to carry them to the Bank in person to be exchanged, not daring to trust the honor ary members, for fear of more tricks. The subjoined rsport was sent to a mem ber ot the Society through the Postofiice. As the President disclaims having writ ten it we suppose it is to be attributed to the same source whence came tbe apreas and coppers: Wilmington, N. C. I ) April 9th, 1879. j Ladies of the Patent Apron Sewing So ciety: Pursuant to an agreeable custom exer cised, if not, inaugurated, by the Presi dents of many deliberative Dulies I leel called upoa at tbe oleeing scene of our labors to congratulate you upon the sue e s which has crowned your efforts. Another custom, probably intended as an offset to the above and most likely connived at if not encouraged by the officers aforesaid, is to present retiring Presidents with a handsome gold watch or some other little trinket, in recognition of his or her valuable services, but as I have heard no intention ot this kind intimated, I will not pursue the subject at this mo ment. The first Sewing Sx:iety of which histo ry makes any tneution was that instituted ey tbe firm et Adam A Eve, incorrectly stated to bare been the only one ever known to exist in wbkh there was not more talking done than work. Their la bors, we know, were principally confined to the making of aprons, and I do not doubt that the taste developed by soma ot the members of this Society for that branch of housewifely art has been direct ly inner ited from that famous couple. It is not stated how long Adam remained a mem ber of that first Society, but unless some ot bis descendants belie their ancestry great ly, we are not called upon to doubt that he soon left tbe whole drudg ery upon Eve's hands and con tented himself with iodine malt with what be could not improve upon. We will, however, (to give the gentleman in black his full deeerte) admit that be was never known to grumble because his shirt was mines a proper complement of but- I am sure that none of this fair ience bat ha otten thoaght of tbe terri ble loneliness to which that poor soul Eve was subjected wnile busily plying her needle, deprived even of that solace, the company of a confidential friend te whom she could whisper her moat private opinion of tbe stylo of drew inf indulged in by her daughter-in-law and bar fear that it would certainly ruin peer 8oth. I suppose I might ekotch tbe various improvements in the art ef sewiog from that time when fig leaves were used as material and thorns deubUose as aeedias, to he present when wite that triumph ef art, tb vowing machine, we can aftWd for tbe smalt aum ef ton cents te make a double scolloped, hemstitch centre, cross biased, cut around tbe cor ner apron, or for 50 cents whip a twe plaited fun am an both ends, pat in three rows of gathers aud even embroider a monogram in each corner; but f will not try your patience so far, for I knuw you are all anxious te tell your friends exactly bow diligent we have been and hew much we have aceumulated. Of tbe great benefts we have derived from our Society a low words will suffice. Wo have not only been able te assist the Church in the payment ef its debt but we have laid up a store of information in regard te our neighbors whieb will af ford an inexhaustible conversational sup ply for at least a year to come. Net a new dress has been worn, not a new bonnet dis played, but we have been able to as certain the exact cost both of material and work. Not a husband has erme home late from tbe Club but we have re corded it against him and identified the old bachelor or forlorn widower, who has tempted him te stay away from tbe sweet society ot his home. Te my young un married friends I would say, beware of such fiends in human disguise. I do not not knew that it is exactly germane to this subject, but I cannot for bear availing myself of this opportunity te vindicate my sex from One aspersion recently cast upon it. A lecent lecturer, in a reference to the celebrated King Midas, stated that the secret of bis asses' ears wan revealed through the weakness of a female servant. I have taken pains to inform myself upon this subject, and I find that liutory states that it was Midas' barber (and undoubtedly a man) who disclosed the fateful secret. In con clusion, I would recommend, ladies, that enough of our funds be reserved to pay the expenses of a big Sound party, and the balance immediately devoted to its intend ed object, with one proviso, to wit, that we will give one-half of the amount to know who sent those aprons and those coppers. Respectfully President Narrow Escape. At about 11 o'clock this forenoon, iksicianu. JJr. Kng was the first while the wind was blowing quite a se vere gale, a young gentleman of this city, tbe owner of tbe pretty little yacht Addie Louise, thought he would teat ths merits of the boat. He started with her from Messes. Blossom A Evans' yard, and when about halfway across the river the main sheet became entaneled and in a mnmtnt tVia hnat mam canBiKod. When i first discovered the young yachtsman had ths bow line in his mouth and was mak ing good headway for the wharf, with tbe boat in tow. Fortunately no further damage than a ducking occurred, but it was a narrow escape. Sudden Death of a Wertby Citizen Our community was very much shock ed this morning to learn of the sudden demise of one who, though a stranger com paratively, wa yet highly esteemed by all who enjoyed tbe pleasure ef his ac quaintance. Dr. Carl F. Bark hard t, a native olS witzer land but for the past three years a resident of thia oity, died sudden ly this morning between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock at the residence of Mr. Geo. C. MeDougald, where he boarded, on tl e corner of Ninth and Chestnut streets . The deceased had not been entirely wd for several months, having at different times during that period been confined to hi room from sickness, but no one sup posed that his end was so near. In fact- his most intimate friends had predicted for him a long and successful career ot usefulness in the profession to which be was so devotedly attached and in which he was beginning, to attain such emi nence. The friends with whom he resided had planned for him a short trip into the eonntryin which they were all to par ticipate ,in the hope that the recreation 'and relief thus afforded from his professional duties might improve his physisal con dition and this morning was the time ap pointed for their departure. From the lady of the hoase where the deceased boarded we gather the following particulars concerning the untimely end of this genial, courteous, whole soulod gentleman, whose death we have just re corded: Dr. Burkhardt, after arr anging everything last night for his departure on the Carolina Central train this morn ing, retired to his room in apparent good health, about, 12 o'clock. At 2 e'clcck our informant states she was awakened by hearing a peculiar Kind of noise or breath ing in the room of the deceased, as if some one was whining, and that upon entering there as soon ns she convenieu tly could do so, found the deceased in a stu por. Restoratives of every kind that could be thought of were applied but without affording the necessary relief,while several messengers were dispatched for ditfereat schooner Wrecked. Last Tuesday's Newborn Jfut Shell says. We learn from Mr. Loui 4 Angel 1 that the schooner Clara Merrick, from Philadelphia, with coal, bound for Wil mington, IT. C, struck on the Diamond Shoals, near Hatteras, "on Friday morn ing, at 12:30 o'clock, and was totally wrecked. The vessel sank so deep that the crew had to climb to tbe mast beads, and even there an occasional wave washed ever them. The schooner Mary Louisa Capt.

English Service and Confirmation at 8 P. to arrive, who after an examination discov ered that the unfortunate gentleman was beyond all human aid and in the agonies of death, caused from an attack of apo plexy. Doctors Love and Lane a'se reached the bedside ol their friend, but too late to do any good. Dr. Barkhardt, as stated above, was a native of Switzerland, and while a stu dent at the Medical College in Zurich, some five or six year ago, became invol ved in a personal difficulty which resulted in a duel and caused him to rlee the country, wheu he came to America, and first located at Goldsboro. He afterwards entered the Medical College at Charleston from which he graduated with distinc tion as a physician. He remained in the last named city during the prevalence of the yellow fever there, three summers ago, doing much good in practicing among these who were afflicted with that terrible scourge. Dr. B. was a gentleman of refinement and culture and spoke fluently five or six different languages. He was possessed of a genial, kind hearted nature whioh won for him hosts of friend in our community, who sorrow at bis untimely end. The funeral will take place to morrow at 8 o'clock, from the corner of Ninth and Chestnut streets, to St. Paul's Lutheran Church and thence to Oakdale Cemetery. MAY HIS BEST BE PEACE !
