Tbe April showers are much necded.to allay the dust which Boreas has "kicked P- Bladen County Superior Court, Judge A. A. McRoy presiding, is in session this week. There were three interments in Oakdale Cemetery during the past week all ad ults. Two interments iu Pine Forest Ceme tery during the past week one adult and one child. Mouse colored bursts seem to be quite the thing now among those who can af ford equine luxuries. A worn am, whose name must be men tionlsss, calls her husband good resolu tions, because he is always broke. Tbe Register of Deeds has issued nine marriage licenses during the week three for whites and six for colored couples. Where twenty mottoes have failed to make home happy, the result has been frequently accomplished by a. good din ner. Tbe hucksters captured the Market this morniag. Every thing except beef offered for sale during market hours was ia the hands of hucksters. Ornithologists say there are five thous and different species of birds, but give men their little swallow, and they don't care what becomes of the other 4,999 kinds. It is announced officially in a fashion journal that the newest style of lady's bat is the Pinafore, which is of white French chip, high erown, sloping edge and turned up on one side. The lace ties advertised in the Review a few days ago to arrive, by Mr. 8. H. Fishblate, and for which there has been such a rush, were received last night. Now, ladies,you can be supplied. From Centennial Headquarters. I find Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup excellent, having a ready sale and rendering more satisfaction than any Cough Syrup I have ever sold.' A. B Maloue, . D , Fif teenth and Carpenter Streets, PhiladeU pbia, Pa. Both prudence ahd ambiti concur in urging honest men to do tbe best pos sible thing, each in his own line of busi ness. It is this feeling which has made DooLXT's Yeast Powdeb the best in the market. The cans are always full weight, and tbe contents chemically pure and moat skillfully compounded. Recovered. Mr. Juha Lutgen, who was robbed on Thursday night of a trunk and other ar ticlesjesterday morning found the trunk ia a boat which was stolen the same night from Messrs.Caasidey A Ross.ia the Mulberry street dock. The trunk was badly broken, and of course everything was taken out of it. Ettr MeasUy Night- The ladies of St. Thomas' Church will have a Sociable at German ia Hall on next Monday evening We all know what this means an evening of genuine en joyment to all who may attend. Messrs. Jaa. McGarity, Jan. ReiUy, T. Don lan, F. H. Darby and John Neilan are the gentlemen who have been placed on the Committee and this met alone should guarantee the pleasant entertainment of U who may be there. The VOL. IV. Strawberries. The first strawberries oftjrtd for sale in this market this se son were on band at Mr. S. G. Nortbrcp's this morning. They were a co signment from Ft rida and were held at seveutv-hve cens per basket. Up For Repairs. By an accident to some of her ma chinery, the bteamet Clin'on will not make her regular trips for a few days( wbi'e she is being rfp dred . She is now lying at the wharf of Messrs Ski.njr & Lay on, wno are making the i;ecessary repairs As soou as they aro eonipleted she will resume ber trips up the Northeast river to Bannerrnan's Bridge audCbiuque pin. The Sabbat a Boil. The following named persons have been appointed by the building committee of St. Luke s church, colured, to solicit aid to purchase a bell for their house of worship, just erected on the comer of Seventh and Church streets: H. W. Green, H. B. Green, Emanuel Jones, Henry L;ftin, William Burr. Lewis Bry ant, Charles Walker, W. B. Hill, H. B. Walker, Va'ertine Howe, Paris Jones l and Henry Ellis. City Hall Items. Business was generally suspended at the City Hall yesterday There were two cases for the Mayor's consideration, but His Honor declined to bear them yesterday and continued them until to-day. Meantime the parties con cerned compromised the matter and this morning submitted the case without trial and walked up to tbe Clerk's desk and settled the damages by ponying up a $10 greenback. Easter Hay. The long Lenten last is over with and Easter, the Queen of Festivals, is at hand. The indications at this writing are that to morrcw will be both beautiful and pleasant and, if it is, it is likely that the largest congregations of the new year will be present in all of the churches in the city. The services on Easter Day are unusually beautiful and impressive and it is not at all likely that to-morrow will prove an exception to this rule. The Fruit Crop in tne luterior. We are sorry to learn that the fruit crop in the interior of this State has been entirely destroyed by the recent cold weather. A private letter received in this city from Pittsboro conveys': the in formation that every thing of the kind in that section has been ki led, even to the strawberry vines which, in some in stances, an endeavor had been made to preserve from the cold by covering them over. The loss of the fruit crop in Chatham will be a very serious blow to the peoplo of that county. The Florida a Man or War. In referring to Capt. John N. Maffitt a .few das ago as the orator of the occa sion on Memorial Day, we inadvertantly alludsd to the steamer Florida as a Con federate private er,wheu id fact she was a regularly commissioned man-of-war in the Confederate navy, and her officers and crew were regularly commissioned and enlisted by the Navy Department .of the Southern Confederacy. We intended to have written Confederate cruiser when we penned the notice, but by some inad vertence on our part wrote privateer, in stead. Wboa, luinaa ! We weie informed yesterday, by one of the firm, that Messrs. Westbrook & Brc, of Rocky Point, a few days ago 'made an. other shipment of radishes to Baltimore, tbe receipts ef which put those we quoted Saturday eutirely in the shade. The latter shipmaut cousisted of six barrels from which they netted $67.50, or $11.25 per barrel. This is a profitable crop to culti vate when one dollar per barrel, net pro ceeds, can be realized, but with such enor mous profits as those quoted above we are afraid that our Rocky Point friends will begin to put on airs. Trusting, how ever to their good looks and their genial good nature.we will not anticipate the cold shoulder at the present.' American Wines. But few persons are aware of the great amount of grapes raised in New Jersey. Alfred Speer is known to be the Urges, wine grower east of the Rocky Mountains His Port Grape Wine is the best, and is considered by physicians and chemists as the best wiue to be procured. It is or dered to London and Paris, where it is becoming very popular among wealthy families. For sale by J. C. Munds, P. L Bridgets A Co and Green A Fianner Apt l-2w Daily WILMINGTON, N. C, SATURDAY, APRIL The Market Question. Very much interest has been manifes ts I in this community of late in regard to ths proposed removal of the Market nouse from its present location ana we have been led, threby, to examine tbe various propositions in regard to the mat ter which htve been submitted for tbe action of the Cemmittee. There are too less than four of these now in the hands of Capt. Savage, the City Cle k, on which the vpecial Cemmittee is to act. We shall endeavor herewith to give some if e of the prov sioos of each: First we have the original proposition submitted by Mr. John E. Lippitt, in behalf ef the stock holders of his Company . He proposes to remove the Market House from its present site free of cost te the city; to erect a handsome and commodious building, 105x210 feet for use as a "Public Market House" and to put up suitable sheds at the river for fish and oyster stal la . He agrees that the price ot tl e stal s shall not exceed b, $8 and $12 50 per month, as per location; that the Market shall be kept clean and that the city may purchase any time after the lapse of five years, at cost. He also promises to build markets in the First and Fifth Wards, under same regulations, and te pay into the city treasury $1,000 a year in lieu of all taxes on the property. On tbe other hand the authorities are not to authorize the erec tion of any other markets but may allow meat stores, and also stands for carts in any pat t of thi city they may select. The next proposition before ui is from Messrs. Thomas Johnson, Hermaa Hiatze and others, known as tbe "Wilmington Market House Company." Tbey offer to erect a Market House in the First Ward on the site of that recently destroyed by fire, also one at some point in tbe Fitth Ward, both with accommodations for hucksters and fish cart-; to build a belfry on each for fire alarms; to endow tbe eld Market House with waioscoatiog, lattice work, Sec , and te divide into distinct apartment, s and to arrange for the ac commodation of fish carts at the lower ead; to keep tbe Market Houses clean by daily washings; to weigh all beef eattl 5 brought to the city for the usual fees; to pay $1,009 per annum into the city treasury; to surrender everything to the city at the expiration of fifteen years; te erect such other Market Houses as the Mayor and Board ot Aldermen may from time to t;me see fit te require and to lease the stalls at public auction every first of January, no bid less than $12.50 per month to be considered. In case of a failure of the Company te com ply with the terms of agreement, every tbirg to revert to the city. Messrs. "S. H. Manning A Co. " sub mit the following: To deed lot corner Third and Princess, 50x198, te the city; to build thereon a brick market house with 27 stalls, each separate and distinct from the other; stalls to be let at auction on the first of January at not less than $12.60 each per month, and collect all market fees outside as well as within the market. The city to pay $2,000 per an num lor eight years; the old market house to be taken down an I material used in construction of new market, free of expense to tbe ciy ; to build markets in First and Fifth watds with accommodations for hucksters and fishermen; to clean each market dail; , and weigh all beef cattle. Tbe market buildiugs to be all surrendered to the city at the end of eight years in good condition Fourth ly and lastly, a preposition from Mr. F. W. Foster, who offers to well to the city the vacant lot on the corner of Third and Princess streets, as a site for a market house, for $600, cash, or one, two and three years, with interest at 8 per cent lions tbe Wharves Yesterday. All the foreign shipping in port yester day had their colors at half-mast out of reverence and veneration far the solem nity of the day. This was also tbe case at the Imperial German Consulate. This is a custom that is practiced in christian countries across the water, to we are in formed, and one that some of the representatives of those governments in this country follow. The steamship Benefactor was at half mast with her colors also. But this, we are informed, was out of respect tejthe mem ory of tbe late Dr. Barkhardt. The foreign shipping, together with tbe Im perial German Oonauljdeaired also to be considered as bearing tbe same respect to the memory of ibis deceased gentleman as well as respect for the day and occa sion which was commemorated on y ester day.

BurkJhardt The funeral obsequies of the lamented Dr. Carl F, Burkardt took phuse yester day afternoon from the corner of Ninth and Chestnut streets to St. Paul's Evan gelical Lutheran Church and tUence to r-v a a L a. uakdale Cemetery. The members of Stonewall Lodge No. 1. Germania Lodge No. a and ef Section No. 221 Endow ment Rank, Knights of Pythias, met at Castle Hall en Third street, at 2 o'clock p. m. and under cam n and ef Past Grand Chancellor, H. C. Prempert, as Marshal, marched to the residence of Mr. Geo. C. McDougald where the deceased had re sided up to the time of his death, and from there acted as escort to the remains until the grave had closed over all that was mortal of their late friend and brother. The services in the church were particu larly impressive. Rev. Dr. Bernheim, the officiating clergyman, after reading the funeral office for tbe dead, indulged in some very touching and appropriate re marks relative to the sudden demise of their departed brother. From the Church the remains were borne to their last resting-place, in the beautiful and quiet spot of Oakdale followed by an immense concourse of citizens in addition to the different Lodges mentioned above. At tbe grave, Mr. J no. W. Gerdts, Chancellor Commander of Germania Lodge, read the burial office for the Knights of Pythias in German, and with this the ceremonies closed. Then the heavy, dull thud of the first spade ful of dirt "announced that the last sad rites were being performed and the famil iar form which bad so recently moved around among his many friends perform ing acts of kindness here and there, was now, alas, shut out forever from the gazr of the world, so to rema& until that gra t final day, when the last trump shall sour J For tbe Review.
