A Fine Yield in Prospect. i The lowlands in Bladen county, along the banks of the Cape Fear river, prom ise this year a magnificent yield of corn. There is a much larger acreage under cul tivation now and better crops than was the case last year. It is estimated that with good seasons a month loDger there will be a yield there' of at least 75,000 bushels of corn, while the amount may run up to 100,000. All that is feared is too much water in the river. An Interesting Paper. The Bev. Dr. Mendelsohn is preparing a paper to be read some time next month before the Historical and Scientific So ciety, on the Practice and Procedure in Criminal Cases, under the Hebrew dis pensation three thousand years agol The paper will be very interesting and will be illustrated by Dr. Mendelsohn. He is i a fine rhetorician and his paper, besides being an intellectual treat will be instruc tive. We trust that the paper may be read at the Opera House wkera those of our citizens who would could do so. like to hear it . A Pacific Paper. j We have before us a copy of a very handsome paper,the Commercial Advertiser, published at Honolula, in the Hawaiian Islands, on June 14th, for which we are indebted to the courtesy of Col. Walter Clark, of Raleigh. One would think that coming from ' one of the ends of the civil ized world, it would present an appearance in keeping with our not veiy distinct ideas of that distant shore, but on the! contrary, it' is a large, bea itifully printed paper, entirely in English, with a large array of attractive advertisements, aud presenting a view of Honolula,which one of the Review staff, who has been there, says is a .very good representation. j Returning Home. The venerable Bishop Atkinson, of this city, is so well known and bo generally beloved in this community,1 that the fol lowing from the Lynchburg Virginian will be read with interest:' i - "Rt. Rev. Thomas Atkinson, bishop of the Diocese ot North Carolina, and wife, arrived in tbe city yesterday and are the guests of Benj. Blackford. They have been spending the summer at the North and at the White Sulphur Springs and are now on their way to the mountains of North Carolina. Many years ago Bishop Atkirson was rector of .St. Pauls church in this city, having been the im mediate predecessor of the late Rev. Wm H. Kinckle. We presume there is not a single member of his charge then remaining in ths church now. i The Bishop is ene ot the ablest and most beloved prelates of his church." How to Disinfect. The following is a simple method of disinfecting sinks and vaults, tbe means of which are within the reach of all: Take an old oyster can or other tin box of convenient s za, make two holes in the upper edge opposite each other, and through them fasten a piece of wire to form a handle. Let the wire be so long as to extend about a foot and a half above tha can. Put a small quantity of sul phur into the can and on the sulphur pour a little alcohol- Set the alcohol on fire and let the cup down into the sink by means of a string attached to tbe wire. Cover up the openings as much as pos sible, so as to keep the fumes of the. burnt ing sulphur within the sink and let it re main there till it burns out. This process should be repeated two or three times a week. Tie sulphuric acid gas generated will effectually destroy every germ of ma laria with which, it comes in contact. Of coarse care should be taken to prevent setting the building on fire, and no one should breathe an of the fumes or gas from the sulphur. i .

The Br. brig Alaska. of St Jt-hn;s N. B., arrived ye-sterday af ternoon off Main! Bar and reports having fallen in with the Marion Gage, Capt. Cain, a tnree-masted schooner,) of 301 tons, bound from Apalachico'a for Phila delphia,1 with a cargo of lumber. The schooner encountered the gale of the 18th inst., and loit all of her sails, rudder &c. The Alaska took off seven men, officers and ciew. There was a heavy S. W. sa at tueiitneauu u was accompiisnea mucn difficulty. When rescued they had been j I " f I. l i m in ine rigging iweive nours. , 1U3 men are destitute, having nothing but tbe clothes they wore. Capt. Frank Brr, of the revenue cutter Colfax, telegraphed to this city to Dr. J. jC Walker, Superintendent of the Bojard of Health, for permission to land the crew and at 6 30 a reply was received allowing them to go ashore. Capt. Halcrow, of the Alaska, reports having sighted a( vessel on fire oa the 18th inst., but as it was a dead calm at i i the time he could learn nothing iu regard to her. j - 'J The Alaska is bound from St, Mary's, Ga., ,.to Montevideo. Uruguay, with lumber. She lost sails and will remain at anchor eff the Bar until aew ones can be furnished when she will proceed on her voyage. j. -'; There-was a rumor at Smithville last night that the pilot boat Mystery had the abandoned schooner in tow and was working up to the bar, and anotner that the vessel on fire proved to be a brig. Since the above came to hand we have received, through the agent here of the Alaska, Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Sons, Capt. Halcrow's report, which is as follows: CaptJ L. A, Halcrow, of the Br. brigantine Alaska, of Dorchester, N. B., reports as follows: ! L 'Sailed from Fernandina, Fla., August, 8th, with the wind IS. E. All went well until Aug. 17th, when it commenced blowing a fresh gale from E lS. E to El and veering to S. E. Handed sails as gale increased; and at 10 p m handed foresail, and at 11 p m found it necessary for safety of vessel and carfe,o to wear ship. Wore on port tack, and handed lower topsail hove tbe j sl ip to under reefed storm trysail, vess.l shipping great quantities of water, I but fortunately without straining:. Atl 1.30 a m on the 18th,. the fore sail, mpper and lower topsails and top gallantsail blowed adr'ft from the yarda, and finding it'j impossible to save any portion of the sails the fragments were cut adrift in order to save the yards. At 3 30 a. m. of the 18th gale veered to West, vessel still shipping great quanti ties of water, washing spars and every thing moveable on deck adrift, andstav- ing all tbe water casks and washing them overboard. At 6 a, m. on the 18th, the gale moderating, found two of the plugs in the covering board washed ' out. Sounded the pumps and found four feet of water in tbe hold; all hands pumping ship until 10:30 a m, when we found tbe vessel making no water. Bore away and made all possible sail; at 11:30 a m sighted a three-masted schooner flying a signal of distress, bearing S. E. by S. Bore away for her and found on eoming alongside of her that she was water-logged. Crew wished ' to be taken off. Lowered one boat and sent under charge of the mate to take the crew eff which was accomplished with safety. The schooner proved to be the Marion Gage, Capt. Cain, from Appalachicola, Fla.; for Phil adelphia, with lumber. Bore away steering E. N. E. Lat- 33 33 Lon. 76 10". Arrived off Smithville bar atl p m on the 22dinst." The Captain and crew of the wrecked schooner will be taken North on the i ... ! v 1 steamer Regulator, which sailed from this port to-day. ' The Grand Excursion. The tickets via Baltimore for the grand excursion will not be ready for delivery until Monday. Many ladies are taking advantage of the inducements offered to visit New York and from present indica tions there will be as many ladies as gen tlemen on the excursion. The trip from Portsmouth by the Old Dominion "Line is the general favorite. There could be no more ease and comfort anywhere than on the palace steamers 0 this line. I The Revival. j The revival beine conducted in the Second Baptist Church by the Rev. Jos. P. King is still progressing. Tbe atten dant manifest much interest in the re vival and on to-morrow afternoon a num ber, who have professed will be received into the Church by immersion at j the foot of Queen street, about 4 o'clock. The meetings will continue through the coming Week and the pastor will be assisted by thd Bar. J. L King, of Monroe, N. C 23, 1879. ! NO. 169 Doctor Bell and the Board of Health. The Board of Health for this, county according to previous notice met in the Court House last night at 8 o'clock for the purpose of conferring with Dr. A. N. Bell, Sanitary and Quarantine Inspec tor of the National Board of Health, who is here on an official visit. Members of the medical profession and also ' members of the Board of Aldermen and Chamber of Commerce and Produce Exchange, together with other citizens were present. Cel. Wm. L. Smith, President of the Bpard of Health, presided and Dr. J. C. Walker, Superintendent of Health, acted ad Secretary. j Dr. Bell addressed tbe meeting, for the space of an hour upon the sanitary condi tion of the city aud the quarantine regulations! of the port, dwelling more particularly upon the first named subject. His remarks were well received and con sidered well j timed and his re commendations in tiie main were very good. But Dr. Bell made no new revela tions in regard to the condition of our city and stated nothing but what was known to our medical men before, some of whom we have conversed with upen this subject ou frequent occasions. The dif ficulty which our Board of Health labors under in reaching the acme of Dr. Bell's idea of the proper sanitary condition of a city is simply a lack of funds to exe cute tbe ideas which the Board conceives, and which it is thoir earnest desire to see carried out. We are 'persuaded in our own mind, both front information; that we have! received from the proper sources as well as from our our city is in a own observation, that much better condU tion than it has been on many preceding years in tthe sickly seasons. Doctors Walker and Wood have been assiduous jin their attentions to Doctor Bell, in giving hm every opportunity to make a thorough .inspection of the city, without any premonition of their coming to the various localities and places they were about to visit; Our Superintendent (If Health, Dr. J. O. Walker, we believe to be as prompt and thorough in carrying out the orders of the Board of Health. and in his official duties generally, as. Jt is possible for man to be. One correction we think it our duty to make here. Dr. Bell expressed surprise at the number o deaths 1 from consump ion, but upon 8f closer examination it was found that the Doctor himsetlf had made a mistake in the addition of the figures by a little over one-half of the total number.) We like to see the question of the prop er sanitary condition of our city investi gated, officially, whenever it is proper to do so and we think it is a matter that all citizens ought to interest themselves in. Still, we cannot but believe that our present Board of Health, during its short time of existence some three months with only the means at their disposal that they have bad have accomplished as much as possible under the circum stances, i Dr. Bell, we believe, remains in Wil mmgton until the last of next week when he leaves for Charleston and other points South on his tour of inspection. I The. Board of County Commissioners and the County Assessors will meet to gether on Monday next, at 2:30 o'clock, to receive and compute the tax lists! and to hear complaints. !
