The County Commissioners, Assessors and Magistrates of Brunswick county met in Smithville on Monday, in accordance with the law, to revise the assessments on property in the couuty. That portiun of the Wilmington, Columbia & Augua Railroad running through the county was originally assessed iit $4,300 per mile. Capt. Jno. F. Divine, the Superintend ent of the road, attended the meeting of the board and by arguments and hard 'i i work succeeded in having the assessment reduced to $3,000 per mile, j The C C. Railway and the County Commissioners. In publishing the proceedings of the County Commissioners in. yesterday's Review we stated that "Major D. J. Deyane made a very able argument before the Board in regard to taxing the rolling stock and other property of the O. C. Railway which hag never paid taxes under any previous administration." This, we understood to be correct at the time but we haue since learned that the only point of issve between the C. O. Railway and the Commissioners id whether the rolling stock of the Railway Company shall j be considered as personal poroperty and as such be listed for taxes. M City Court.

Dr. Walter C. Murphy, on his profes sional rounds in the Angola section of Fender and Onslow counties, saw speci mens of tobacco growing as fine as any evfer proiuced in Granville county. A large be)t of country in that section, known as the " White Oak," rich in fertility and inexhaustible in quantity, is celebrated not only tbr its large crops of corn but p-oduces cotton and tobacco as well. This magnificent body of swamp land lies im mediately upon the line of the proposed railroad from Burgaw to Onslow, and wil 1 be penetrated by it. Jacob James, upon whose farm this tobacco was seen has also in his possession a walking cane and decanter brought to this country in 1677.

Last evening, just as twilight was deep ening into the darker shades of night, a middle-aged widow lady, residing in the northern portion of the city, j was k seated on the front piazza of her house, having for a companion an adopted daughter, & young miss of 15 or 1C summers. While engaged in pleasant conversa ion with each other the front gate was opened, and a woman clothed in the habiliments of woe entered and approached the house, leaning upon a cane, with the slow and uncertain steps of the decrepitude of ad vanced age, and besought charity in the tremulous tones of famis'ring want. A( her appearance the young lady became excessively mirthful, while her more elder ly companion looked on with profound mortification at such a display of levity under such circumstances. She attempt ed to check such ill-timed mirth, but it only, made matters worse. She then turn ed to know the wants of the , venerable modicant, when the latter with protean dexterity threw aside her cane, bonnet and veil, and one of Wilmington's most charming, vivacious and merry-hearted daughters stood revealed before her. Of course explanations were next in order, when it was ascertained i that the two young ladies bad a full understanding be forehand, but the scheme came near fall ing, through on account ci the mirthful- ness it provoked in the young miss who i i was seated on the piazza. 1 Wine and Cafce for Evenings. Alfred Speer of New Jersey, it should be known, is one of the most extensive producers and dealers in Pure Wines and Brandies ia the United States.

Your wife can i tell by the perfume of the ar icle whether you've been to the bar or not. Rather Scarce We learn that there is quite a scarcity of hay, corn and mealj in this market at present, owing to the non-arrival of vessels loaded with these articles, and which have cleared for this port sometime since. The Steamship Benefactor brought some corn, we are told, but not much, i her cargo consisting for the most part of fall and winter stocks of merchandise. Depth of Water on the Bar. The Pilots report to the Commissioner of Navigation that the sojindings on Main Bar at mean low tide now ! is 11 feet 6 inches, which is 6 iDchts more water than were reported when the last sound ings was reported injthe early part of this month. Add to this a rise of 4 feet, which occurs on the rising tide, and it gives us a depth of water on the bar at high tide of 16 feet. How is that for high? j The Grand Excursion. The excursion of the Whiting Rifles to New York was a grand success; Quite a large number of our citizens embraced the opportunity to visit the tjig Nor'ard.
