WILMINGTON, N.C., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1879. The Board of Education. i l The Board of Education metl yesterdiy afternoon., at the Court House, subsequent to the( adjournment of thj meeting !of the Boardj of County Commissioners, present, VV. L. Smith, Chairman, and Messrs. H. A. Bagg, A. J. Grady and J. A. Mont gomery, j The Chairman submitted the annual report on Schools and Sehooi Funds, which was ordered to be printed with the annual statement of the . Committee of Audit and Finance of the county. Report of Mr Walker Meares, appoint td to take trie school census for Wil mington Township icomprising School Districts Nos 1 and 2-j was received add ordered put on file: ! lo the B.ard of Education Hanover County: of New Gentlemen: I beg leave to submit the censuti'of the school children,) of both races, in the city limits. You are aware that I have been engaged in takingj iu addition to the school Census, a complete census of the city. At the time, two years ago, when Wilmington; School District was most judiciously dividd into two distr.cts, the Board of Education, with the best lights before them, made Market street the dividing line, supposing that the line chosen would about equally divide the population. The school census taken in 1877, by the present School Committee, showed that there! was la considerable preponderance of school cnildren in the rirst District, viz: in the territory north of Market street The result of taking the census of the tilth e population of the city of-Wilmington reveals a great disparity, both in population and as to the number of school children. I, therefore, respect fully suggest the importance of altering the lines at one?, before the next! appor tionment, so that the law may be com plied with, as near as possible. 1 would also suggest that the order extending our districts two miles beyond the city limits be! rescinded, inasmuch as it will if per mitted to remain a law only add to the inequality which already exists between the two districts.) Ihe extens:on was made with a view to accommodating the children in our vicinity. It is doubtful whether it has proven of any benefit. It will, for reasons above stated, prove a great injury to our schools in the SeGond District. You will! find that in making an equable division of the city some diffi culty will arise, but it is nevertheless im- perative that tne line: snouia oe altered. Very respectlully, Walker Meares. i The following is tho school population of the two districts, viz : FIRST DISTRICT. White Males' 490, females 490; total 980. Colored Males 803, females 957.' total 1,760. Grand total, both races, 2, 74 I BECOND DISTRICT. 1F7 "Males 434, females 482; total 016. Colore Males 557, females 708; tdtal 1,205. Grand total, both races, 2,- 181. t 1 ! It was. ordered by the- Board that the school limits of Districts Nos. 1 and 2 be reduced to the present city limits. The census reports from Districts Nos. 5 and 6 were received and ordered to; be filed. - . . The annual report of the Treasurer for the school funds was received, examined and found to be correct, and ordered to be spread on the minutes and put on file 'A. R. Black, Eq , was re-elected County Examiner for the ensuing year. On motion, the Board adjourned. The New Postal Card. The new two-cent postal card has made its appearance.. It hs two stamps one at each end and space for two messages. The; sender occupies one of these, and the return correspondent the other. One stamp is canceled at the office from; which it is sent, and the other from the office at which it is return ed. The cards will soon be in general circulation. : ' ! A New Kick.. ! The Postmaster General has ordered that an actual daily count be made in all the postofiiccs of the United States from the 1st to the 7th of November of all let ters, packages, postal cards ic, deposit ed for transmission in the U. Si mails. Publishers of newspapers are requested to furnish postmasters with the number of papers mailed by them within the limits of time specified. Autumnal Froet seems near Weather. at band, but there will most likely be many more warm days and nights before the leaves begin to' fall and nature commences preparations for the wintry season. Amateur florists should, however, see to the plants which they wish to preserve through the winter, and have them potted ready to take into the bouse after short notice. j DEAR SPORT. Perilous Condition of two Yachtmen all Night in the Water. Last week two of our citizens, who are fond of aquatic sports, betook them to the catamaran boat of; Mr. S. G. Northrop, built and owned by that gentleman, for a sailboat. The wind was fair and 'the skies were clear and the tide ran smooth and our amateur sailors, while watching the ripple of the waves near the boat as she glided aleng, and enjoying the cool sea breeze as it fanned - their cheeks during the heat of the day, took no note of time or distance uutil opposite to the historic ground of Fort Fisher, when a visit to tba scene where the lamented Whiting 1 received his death woHnd was at once proposed. . The boat was shore, which was reached headed for the in due 1 time, when the anchor was throw out and the party leaped to the bank. What with visiting the site of this renowned fort ani the government works where the inlet has been filled in', the nautical twaia lingered until nearly sunset, before they embarked again for their return. But; without a thought or care for the night, as! long as the heavens were free from! clouds and no gathering or threatening storm appeared upon the horizon, our heroes started with light hearts and a self satisfied feeling of a day's pleasure for. home. But. oh! horror of horrors! when ! dark ness had fairly j closed in ii the siilor yachtmen 1 discovered their craft had sprung aleik. Immediately the catamaran was! put about and headed Lr the shore, but they could only tell by the dim starlight in which direction to head; they could not be sure about steer ing for any particular point, and when within 250 yards of the beach, bump, went the miniature ship, and hard ground he was. In this condition our sporting friends spent the night, only they were about ankle deep in water,! and saH water it was, too, without a drop of fresh water to put in, their thirsty mouths. It can better be imagined than described how anxiously dayl ght was awaited. With no place to rest, and no opportunity to stretch their wearied limbs and with no drink to slake their thirst the cjndition of the pleasure seeking couple was pitia ble indeed. But all things hare an j end, and so did that long and wretched night. The dawn at last appeared, revealing the subjects of our sketch clinging to the mast of their sailboat, standing in an up- light position I and in about six inches of water, waiting for as?istance. The balance of our story is soon ended. Cantain Dick Paddisoa, of the steamer Elizabeth, in coming from Smithville on his regular trip that morning took the shipwrecked tars aboard and landed them safely in Wilmington, sadder but wiser men. If anything more is needed to lend interest to the story it is tne name of the two un fortunates, who are good, clever fellows. One keeps a confectionery store and the other is called Col. Harriss, Col. Charlie Harriss, whom everybody knows I and likes. ! J CUT Court- Dinck Holmes, colored, was arrested and arraigned for assault and battery, but the prosecutor withdrawing the suit, the defendant was released upon payment of costs. j John Paton, colored, jwas found asleep on the street last night and conveyed to the guard house. He was admonished and dischargsd. Window Glass 01 all sizes at Jacobi's Hardware Depot. f , LU 'Ui Naluiae. A week or two since one of the super, intendents of the bands engaged at the Rock Quirry, about three miles from Rt.cky Point, in Pender county, found the egg of a terrapin concealed beneath a fragment of rock. He secured the egg and handed it to Mr. (Thomas Williams, Chief Superintendent; for examination. Mr, William, being busy at the time put the egg in his pockea until be cou!d spare the time to constitute himself an 'investigating committee" on the subject (of terrapin eggs. Being thus pigeon-holed, in accordance with general principles, the matter was forgotten until after; the I f Upse of many days, and was then only brought to notice by his - searching his pocket for some article that he usually carried there, when he discovered, not a ' terrapin egg, but a terrapin, alive and kicking. Whether Mr, Williams feels any very strong maternal regard towards the terrapin or not, we are not prepared to state, i ' ! NO. 189 I new! Democratic Weefelri Mr. Peter M.

A friend has kindly furnished us with a record of the mean temperature of the weather from the 1st to the 16th j of September, for the past three years which was obtained from the Signal Office in this ci y. The record stands as follows From Sept. lstt 8apt 16th. 1877--78. From Sept. 1st to Sept. lth 818 76.8 From Sept. 1st to Sept. 16tu 187972.5 By this it will be seen that the mean temperature for the first half of the pres ent month falls considerably lower than in the first half of the corresponding months in 1877 and 1878. Off Again. Our go-ahead townsman, Wilkin Rod dick, Esq., of the enterprising dry goods arm of Brown & Roddick, Market street, took his departure from this city 1 in the early part of this week for the North and is. at this present writing, we fee well assured, peeping from behind a big pile of dry goods with calojgue in hand and five or six pencils behind his ears, be sides the one in his hand, intent upon a good bargain of some kind that will suit his customers in this city. That is a right, Wilkin, but we have this mickle to say. Dinna be gane sae lang this time and dihna ye bide ower lang by the gate. Thanksgiving is coming and Christmas soon after and ye maun be on hand to foregather then. Dinna forget. The New Vicar Apostolic. I i Rev. Mark S. Gross, pastor of St. Thomas' Catholic Church, of this eity; has been designated Vicar Apostolic o North Carolina, by His Holiness,; the Pope, and will, as soon as may be after his induction into office, enter upon the duties and responsibilities of his new po sition. This position is that of a Bishop of the Catholic Church, of equal power, dignity and authority with any Bishop of the Church, theonly difference being that the field of labor is not elevated to that of a Diocese, there not being a sufficient number of Roman Catholics within the limits of North Carolina to came it to be made a Diocese. ! Father Gross is a native of Baltimore Md, and a brother of Bishop Gross, of Savannah, and is about 35 years of age. He was educated at St. Mary's College, a Catholic institution in Baltimore, where be fitted for the priesthood. He came to this city in 1868, which was shortly after his ordination, with Archbishop, then Bishop, Gibbons, and has been the pastor of St. Thomas' Church ever since. His duties will frequently call him to difa fercnt porticos of the State, but will not necessarily cause his removal from this city. He is held here in the highst esti mation as a God-fearing and Godaserving man, a true Priest, and one who fearless ly, truthfully and unceasingly fulfils the duties to which in youth his life was devoted. His elevation in the Church is a pleasing surprise to all. Hucksters complain that the Review in a treasure prevents them from keep ing the prices of produce up. So be it. j .
