I , held at their armory last evening, Captain A. L. DeBosset, the newly elected com mander of the Company, was present and in a neat little speech accepted the honor conferred upon him by this veteran corps and at onoa assumed command of the company. I Meteorological. There were very few family; men around on the streets this morning who wjll acknowledge haying sat up laat night to wineas the starry shower alleged to ha vV been Teratoid bjr Prof. ; Tice, but which, through some possible hitch' in the celestial management, failed I to come to time. Yet there were many lights yisible at 2 o'clock and even at a later hour than many expected sight-seers were abroad on the streets. Some of the saloons and billiard rooms were full until- nearly 3 o'clock and they all drove a good busi ness. We don't mean to Intimate that there was any collusion between the pro prietors of these resorts and Prof. Tice but certain is it that the former would be willing to hare a star -shooting appointed or every day In the week, provided it would pan out as well for them, In a pecuniary sense, as it did last night. From 10 until 3 o clock the closest ob- servers report but three meteors as visi ble and not one of them was first class. It is evident, as we said yesterday, that Prof. Tice is a humbug of the first water. It would not have done fer him to put in j an appearance' here this morning, anas outraged and indignant people would have snatched him bald-headed in less time than it would hare taken a first-class meteor to travel millimetre, to meter by moonlight alone or with any other man. Apropos of this sujbect, an old citizen of Wilmington has given us to-day a glowing description of the shower of me teors which was seen here on November 14th. 1833, now jest forty-six years ago to-day, and probably a few years before Professor Tice embarked int he astornom ical business. i ' The gentleman alluded to was 27 years old at the time and has retained ever since a vivid recollection of the wonderful scene. The shower began, to the best ci his recollection, about 11 o'clock. He was asleep at the time but was was soon aroused and hastily drawing on his clothes rushed into the street. He resided then in a building which stood on the site of the present Imposing edifice occupied by Messrs, P. L. Bridgers & Co., on North Front street, and as soon as he got out of doors he rushed to the junction of I Front and Princess streets where an excellent view was obtained. He describes the air as betag literally encumbered with the falling flakes, thicker than the fiercest shower ever ahed from a steamer's smoke stack and fa ly as thick as the air was cf flakes in the wildest snow storm he had ever beheld. .The detonations could be distinctly heard as the meteors exploded overhead and sent their fiery flakes co the earth where the next day nothing but ashes remained to tell of what had been overnight. The sight was incomparably grand and beautiful beyond de scription. Hundreds of people were overcome I by their fears and many thought that the world bad come to an end and all the latent piety of a life time was brought to the surface when the peop le had themselves been thus brought to their knees. Among the superstitious colored race was this especially the case and more fervent prayers were oflered up in one hour than had been the case befure in a whole life-time, j , And again, apropos of this subject, we introduce here, (patent applied tor) two specimens of meteoric poetry which Wtere ground out to-day by disappointed star gazers who were abroad last night when they should have been peacefully slum bering In their little beds. In view of the solemnity of the occasion we have con cluded to rob the waste batket and to put on record, for th j benefit of future gener ations, these remarkable productions. The first, which is a very pathetic pro duction, and entitled Vive La H cm bog, isaa follows: Oh ! Prenssor Tice, It wasnt very nice j In yoa to ool the people yesterday. By tailing these theakj Weald be taiek with tne flj Inar meteors la tbe milky way. . . f j ';- '. At this point the ardent poet had to suspend operations and 'step down town toaeeaman ptomiaing to return and finish the production' in time fo? Prof. Tke's next prophecy. Here Is the second contribution. It will be seen that the author labored un der strong excitement while penning it, produced, most likely, by cne of those terrific colds j in the head of which he speaks, or, perhapa! by having Uken on board last night tocf much of the divine affllatus. tiously, I He calls it, very senten THE VKTIOEIC DltytAT. For some time put the papers have told How a shower of itars from the sky would be rolled1, j Which woald ! eitoniah all those who wished to behold k scene so grand and sublime. Friday, the fourteenth, was named as tbe day Uoon which this grand astronomio dij play Would illume the aloe vault of the hearenly WT. I j And one ia the morning the time. The evening arrived, and the sky overhead Was with a rich star-jewelled galaxy spread. While mortals ne'er thought of sleep nor of i bed, i ' Rat waited impatient the hour When their eyas should heboid the wonder ful sight Of a heavenly pyrotechnics flight ; And they waited, and wathced deep into the night, But there wasn't a bit of a shower. i Then ad and in anger they hied them to bed; I For blessings, the prophet had curses instead; And to-day they all have a cold in the head. And their eyes have lost all their beauty: i No mere will they take any stock in advice Bj that prophetic humbug Profeeeor Tice, Ton may cheat them ones, bat tever twice, While their senses are faithful to duty. Election in jWadesboro. I We learn that a local election was held in town the of Wadesboro on the C. j C. Railway yesterday for municipal offices, the issue being wet or dry, or license or no license to retail spirituous liquors. The wets got it by 195 majority, '265 votes being polled In favor of license and but 70 against. From the same source we learn that the good people of Anson are making big preparations for the Fair which takes place in Wadesboro next week.

I According to the most sage (?) predic tion of the Second Adveutists, yesterday, 13th, was to be the great list duy, when "All earthly shapes must melt in gloom, The sun, himself, must die." j But here we are, and Ihe good old wcrld seems to be jogging along as it has continued to do, without any regard to the prophecies ol men1 which have been periodically made since 1843. when Miller first ' prophesied the destruction of the world and the second coming of Christy City Court. ( Richard Chavers, arrested yesterday afternoon for drunkeness a disorderly conduct, was arraigned before the Mayor this morning and was bound over in the sum of $100 to keep the peace, the defendant's wife making! complaint that she was afraid of him. But learning that a warrant from a Justice of the Peace had been issued for the arrest of Chavers, the Mayor ordered him turned oyer to the custody f this Justice to be tried upon a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
