The Norcross Filth Avenue Troupe,
which was booked for this city for Thurs
day and Friday evenings of this week.will
probably give us the go by . Their aged
has not yet put in an appearance, nor has
anything been heard of him. We believe
the Ada Richmond Troupe is the next in
order. !
! Rice Mat ket.
) The market tor rough rice opened in
this city last fall at $1.05 per bushel; his
fall there was an advance, and the market
opened at $1 50 per busnel. These fig
uresare encouTaging and should stimulate
others to cultivate the now idle rice fields
alsing the babks of the Cape Fear. The
nce grown in this section of the titaie is
second to none iu quality produced in any
othr portion of the country. 1

Narrow Escape.
A gentleman, living on ona of the
sounds, took his gun yesterday from the
rack in the house to shoot a hawk which
was after his chickens, and in taking the
guo out it was - accidentally discharged,
the load entering a sill in the piazza. His
wi.'e and daughter were standing imme
diately over the sill and, no doubt, would
have been injured had the load of shot
struck on either side of it. 1
! ; CHj Court-
There was rather more than usual at
tendance at the Mayor's levee this morn
ing, but the game bagged was small,
and but little interest was therefore man
ifested. The first cas9 called was P. T.
Holmes, colored, charged with .being
drunk and disorderly, dismissed. The
case of Henry Sellars, colored, arrested
upon the same charge, met the same fa'e,
likewise,the one of Jno Davis, colored.and
the same of John Smith. This finished
the proceedings and the Court adjourned.

Meguiney's Hail.
For tbe convenience of the puble Messrs
Bel r nds & Munroe have concluded to re
open Meginney's Hall. It will be refitted
and furnished with new furniture. They
propose to go further in fixing up the
hall than anyone has ever before done in
this city. The walls will be decorated
with handsome pictures and the room
.-upp'ied with choice flower, fetus, etc.
The floral decorations which they
propose will I e exceedingly graceful, and
will add much to the looks of the room'
The former lamp : will le removed and

at $2 a year, is received. Among otber
interesting articlts by prominent 'South
ern farmers, we notice one i of special in
terest to such farmers of the South, who
wish to improve their worn out lands, by
Dr Ellzey, on 'Green Fallow Crops, An
imal Manures and Commercial FertiM
zrs This is the third series on j these
subjects. The Doctor, discusses with
great interest and originality tne scien
tific and practical action of pea and clover
fallow, -and grasses generally the best
time, mode of seeding, jHis discuss
ion on the action of plaster, lime and com-me-cial
fertilizers exhibits great scientific
research and practical experience. These
series of articles should be read by every
douthern farmer who desires to improve
his lands by the most economical and
efficient means. The Planter and Far
mer is a leading agricultural journal for
Southern farmers, and w;e advise our read
( !
era to subscribe to it. j
County Commissioners.
The Board of County Commissioners
met in regular session this afternoon', all
the members being present Up to the
hour of our going to press the matter of
the assessment of tbe Carolina Central
Railway Company was under discussion.
The railroad Company was represented
by Major C. M. Stedman, , Dr. Roberts,
President of the company, was also pre
sent. The editor s position is one of trust
he has to trust nearly every body i
j P00r Girls.
The poorest girls in tbe world are these
who have never been taught to work.
There are j thousands of ( tbem. Rich p
rents have petted them ; they have been
taught to despise labor, and depend upon
otheis tor a livingnd are pi rfectly helpless
If mjsfortune comeAXipon their friends, t s
it often does, their case is hopeless. I
The most forlorn aad miserable women
upon earth be ong to this class. It be
longs to parentis to protect thtir daughters
from this deplorable condition. They do
them a great wroug if) they neglect it
Every daughter ought to be taught to
earn her own li rhig. The rich as well as
he poor requir trailing. 'The wheel of
fortune rolls swjiftly round; the rich are
vey likely to become pepr, and the poor
rich. Skilled labor is no disadvantage to
the rich, aud s indispensable to the poor. !
Well-to-do parents must educate their
children to work. No reform is more jrh
perative than this. j i

. The Telephone Fire Alarm.
Mr. B. D. DeForest, General Agent of
the Bell Telephone Company has to-day
put op fire alarms at the following places,
viz: The City Hall and the engine houses
of the Little Giant, Adrian and Cape
Fear, making the connection of .he above
n no ed places complete by means of the
telephone wire. Mr. DeForest informed
us that in a few days he hoped to have tbe
fallowing named stations as per contract
with the city,also complete and connected:
One station at the Market House on
Market street, one at the iGas House on
Castle street, one on the ' corner of Fifth
and Castle streets, one on
i
the corner of
Market and Seventh streets, one on the cor
ner af Seventh and Red C "Oss, and one on
the corner of Fourth and Jarnett, making
in all ten stations, and to make the circuit
complete, one is also to be placed at the
house of Col. Roger Moore, Chief Engin
eer of the Fire Department, on Chesnutt
street When this is done much time
and trouble will be saved Joth our firemen
'11 1
and citizens as well, in ascertaining the

I Fires In September
Col. Roger Moore, Chief Engineer of
tbe Fire Department, has made his report
for the month t f September, which we
place before our readers as a matter of ir-
teresf The following is his report.
Office of Chief Eng f&& Dept.
Wilmj i-GT. n, N. C. J
Maj . He y Savage, i j i
CI rk and Treasurer, I
City jof Wilmington.
Sib: I would report the following firts
in the month of September requiring the
services of the Fire Department. I
Sepc. 9 Fire in Collins' A' ley, be
ween Sixth and Seventh j and Nan and
Church streets, occasioned by the burn
ing of a small dwelling valued at about
$200, the property of Mrs. Conigland
The fiist ocjurred in the eirly part of thj
night, and was probably accidental. No
insurance. ;
Sept. 12tl Fire on the I corner of
Fourth and Campbell streets, destroying
a two story frame building, owned by
Alderman James Lowery, and occupied
by him as a carriage manufactory and re
pair shop, togetoer with stock, tools &c
Undoubtedly the work of jan incendiary.
Insurance of $1 100 oc the buildiDg.
Sept. 26th Fire on Eighth, between
SwaDn and Nixon streets, destroying a
small one sto y frame dwelling, tbe prop
erty of John Murray, colored, undoubtedly
tbe work of an incendiary Insurance of
$150, which will probably cover the loss.
Sept. 26 Fire on the corner of Fifth
and- Bladen streets, partially destoryed
thedweUiog house of Cabt. Jesse Ives
Loss covered by insurance. Cause prob
ably a defective flue.
I Sept 26 Fire ! on Fodrtnj between
Nun and Church steetsj destroying a
small unoccupied bouse, the property of
Capt. James Williams. No insurance.
Loss Inconsiderable. Incendiary.
Before closing my report I would call
the attention of your Honorable Board
and most repectfuUj urge - that some ac
tion be taken fixing some, rule for the
government of lh& fir department, .and
when their services are required after a
fire is subdued and all danger of its
spreading has been overcome, to save the
damaged property. Then that a rate of
compensation should be fixed for such ex
tra Service to mniwnBate th I mon
reimburse the city for coal.and 'to provide
i r tne wo.tr ana tear cccasioned by such
. t w .i
m 'uviuuuus service, ana i would most lre
pect fully suggest if my recommendation
meet your approval, as a minimum rate
for suclue vices say $3 per hour for dav
and $6 per hour f r nuht er vices for the
FngiLe Companies, and whsn the services
of Hook jabd Ladder, Bucket or Hand
Engine Companies, are required, one half
oi above rates, said amount to be divided
equally between the Company or Com
panies so engaged and the city, share And
snare aiiKe. ;
