DAILY i Wilmington Hanoi. r Turn Yerein Fine Gymnasium Practice Festlvl ties Wound up by a Dance- On the corner of Eleventh and Maiket streets, at the residence of Mr. John G. Oldenbuttel, the Wilmington Hanover Turn Verein have had erected their gjm nasium. The Wilmington Hanover Turn Verein was organized in this city on the 22nd of last June, with the following offi C3rs : Jno G Oldenbuttel, President ; W H M Koch, Vice President ; J D Klander, Treasurer ; H Wentzensen, Secretary an 1 2d Instructor H Hiutze, 1st Instructor Since then, the Club has rapidly grown and now numbers thirty-eight members, as follows : Honorary Members A Adrian, A C fl Prempert, John Bauman, F W Heyer Active Members Martin Rathjen, Jno G L Gieschen, W Otterson, Chris Hubert, Chas K'iin, H H Kasprowiez, A C Wei sell, E W Dosher, F Luhrs, S H Fish blate, Cfl Stemmerman, F C Miller, G d Heyer, M Bremer, O V Oeeen, John Haar. Jr, John Meyer, TheoFincken, Wm Genaust, W F Lessman, W H Gerken, j'GSteljea, O Westell, Chas Michasen, J Mohr, Aug Wehrhahn, Cfcjas Stranger- mah, S Karlsberg, A Bear, H Hiutze. Last evemns we were present at tne r the second of the public practices and were as much surprised as pleased to see the acrobatic feats performed by four of the members. The frame of the gymnasium is thirty feet wide by twenty four feet high to top sili, but forty to top of flag poles. The gymuasiun was illumiuatod with Cajnese lanterns and decorated iwith i 'I evergreens. From the three flag po'es were flying the colors of Germany, the UnU ted States and those of the Hanover Turn Verein, a red flag with four F's on it in the shape of a Maltese cress which is the motto of the Association al over the country. The uniform of the Club in this city is white jacket ana pants and red belt w ith the j words Qut Heil' and the Maltese cross formed by the four F's woven in. The gjmnasium is com plete and is supplied with jumping and horizontal bars, trapeze, climbing ropes, winging ropes, ladder,climbiag poles, etc, At the appointed time Mr.Harman Hintzc first instructor, led up to the bar follow ed by Messrs Martin Rathjen, John G L. Gieschen and Chas Stemmerman. The 'turners' were dressed in the uniform of j i i the Club and went through a series of evolutions which were marvellous when the short time for training is taking hto consideration. Many of their acrobatic feats were " . as handsomely and as gracefully done as one usu ally sees by professionals. There are about twenty very fine "turners'' in the club, but on account of sickness and other reasons some of them were not present. After the gymnasium practices the spec tators ad 'ourned to the ball room and . i j wound up the festivities of the evening i by a dance. The hall is over Mr. Olden buttel's store and is admirably adapted for dancing. It was decorated with flags etc. At 12:30 o'clock supper was announced and Mr. and Mrs. Oldenbuttel served the guests with a handsome epilation which was freely partaken of. The dancing was resumed, the happy participants keeping it up until the early dawn, when kind wishes were exchanged and the party separated to think and dream of the delightful entertainments of the Wilmington Hanover Turn Verein.

Twenty six cannon have been taken from Fort Caswell and placed on scows to be transported to this city for ship ment to Philadelphia. Yesterday while one of the scows was loaded and lying at the wharf at Caswell it careened and dumped nineteen ol them into the river, j ist on the edge of the channel At low tide they are in eight feet of water. We could not ascertain, tut suppose an effort will be made to raiie 'them. It will be a very difficult j jb on account of the strong carrent and exposed position. The guns are said to weigh from 8 to 3 J tons each. Personal. Rev. B. R. Hall, who has for the past two years served so faithfu ly and ac ceptably as pastor of the Fifth Street M. E. Church South, will leave on Satur day next for his new field of labor at States ville, to which he haa"teen assigued by the conference . Mr. Hall, by his uibanity, courtesy and devotion to the cause in which he ii engaged has made many warm friends in this city who will deeply regret his departure. Review.

At a meeting of the lot-holders of Pine Forest (colored) Cemetery, held at the City Hall last evening, the following were elected Trustees for the ensuing year; James A. Lowrey, John G.

James Price, a colored man, met an other colored man in Paddy 's Hollow last night and the two got into an alterca tion when Price struck the other indi vidual wivh a stick. About this time the police came along and Price was taken to the Guard House, but the other party to the combat took leg ball apd thus es caped the grip of the law. This morning the Mayor said, well.one day in the C. P.' and Price went below. You can buy a No. 1 heating or Cook Stove at almost any price at JacobiNo. 10 South Front street. I f i ; 1 ' I Not to be sed on Christmas. i Mayor Fishblate has concluded to revoke the order leasing the City Hall to the col ored excursionists from Charleston on Christmas day. This is done, we believe, at the solicitation of residents in the vi- cinity of the City Hall building who com plain that when the City Hall is used for a rendezvous by these excursion parties that there is not much rest and quiet in the neighborhood, and as Christmas day is a jollification time generally they fear there would be less quiet than usual if the Hall is to be occupied at such a time by excursion parties. The Mayor has there ore annulled his former order preventing the use ofth e Hall.

Ediivr Review: ; I promised II would give you a short description of my trip to Clinton and tell you about the Fair, &c , &c. Wednesday I left home and after trav elling the best road iu North Carolina I reached Clinton Thursday about 12 m. On my way I had the pleasure of stop ping one night with the Messrs-Caldwell, at Harrell'a store. I found them clever, enterprising and energetic gentle men, and successful merchants. Notwithstanding the ugly rainy weath er, I foaad a very large crowd at the 'Fair Grounds,' and the exhibition credi" table indeed, in every department. The s' ock was especially fiao. Sam j son is noted for fine cattle and she certainly held her own this Fair, as I saw some that would have done honor to the finest Northern exhibitions. Fine hogs also, SDtne weigh ing 800 pounds. There might have been an improvement in horse stock, both in farm horses and horses for speed. The ladies' department surpassed all, everything nice that could be, was nicely arranged . Bless the ladies; they always excel in every good work; and at night, at the ball, I thought I never saw the beauty of Clinton and surrounding country show UTEUch advantage; in grace, dignity and general deportment they were perfect. It Is a difficult matter to discriminate, when all did so well, but I cannot but think that Mr. Willie Hubbard and Miss Lud e Moseley carried tfl the palm as for grace and time in the whirl of the wahz, but all did well, considering the nuusio, which was not good for a ball room but made very good field music. Everyone was well pleased with our friend, Capt. Df nson ; he delivered a most excellent address ; one that cannot fail to do good, but as it will be published, I'll say noinoie about it. Dr. Paichard delivered an address, urging upon the peo pie the necessity of educating tb ir sous for farmers. His address throughout was well-timed and well received, and I do hope will do great good, for that is what we need educated men. Col. Pulk spoke to his people on the necessity ot working ad complimented them on their exhibition. He is a favorite everywhere, especially in Clin ton, I wish we had more Polks in suit able places, for he is certainly the 'right man in the right place.' 1 met Judge McKoy and right glad I was to meet him for there'is no man in the State that deserves the kind consi deration of his people more than the Judge. By the way, did you know they were speaktDg of h:m as our next Govern or? I bavej no doubt he would wear the gnbernitorial honor with as muci dignity and grace as ariy one. The viaitors are iodtbteu taall the managers for their kind consideration, but I would mention ep daily the President, Col Ashford, Mejrs Partrick, Willie John son, Ed Keir and Scott Robinson.
