'- The fire department were called, out twice last night, to both of w h ich cal I st hey prom ptly responded. The first time wan at 7 o'clock, caused by the burning of a stick" of light wtKXl in the engine room of the steamer Kntepprise. which, was lying at her wharf at tlie foot'M Princess street. The flames were extingulsh el with a few buckets of Water, and it seems to us that sending put the alarm .was the cause of needless work for the firemen; but it showed how quickly they could be on hand in case of an emergency. Thesecoud alarm was at about 0.30 nd " was, caused by the discovery of a fire in the old grist mill at the foot ofjDoek street, formerly the property of Mr. P. Cuunuiug. When tirst discovered the flames were at work ontheWrer front of the building, which is of wood. Fortunately the tire had make but little headway when dis covered, ami the flames were speed ily extinguished by the firemen, who were promptly at work and but little damage was property. done to the He Got III Pay. A day or two -since a man who keeps a store in the c6uiitry, at few miles from the city, was here mak ing purchases with which tP replen ish his stock. Just before leaving for the train he bought a small bill of goods of one of our Front street firms, and engaged colored boy to take the package to the depot, The countryman and the boy with the package went to the depot togeth er, and as there was but little time to spare, the goods were placed in the car and the owner jumped on the platform of one of the passenger cars just as the train was moving off. The colored boy followed him and wanted ten cents for carrying the package, when the former said that he had no money. As the boy was bound to have pay for his work Jhe grabbed the man's hat and jumped otT. It was then too late to attempt to recover the hat, and the . country man was taken hat less out Of the city by the train. Probably by this time he has come to the conclusion that it will take a sharp country man to get ahead of a Wilmington colored boy. In tlie meantime the hat hangs in the store where the goods ere bought and where it can be redeemed by the owner by the payment of ten cents. School shoes for children, best in the citv. at Geo. R.

We regret very much to leam of the death of Dr. Frederick Thomp son, a highly "esteemed Resident of the Point Caswell section, which occurred yesterday morning at his residence, about four miles from the village. He was a native of this city, but when a mere lad he remov ed to Poiut Caswell and has ever since resided there, engaged in. the practice of hiprofession. He early volunteered his services during the war and joined the company raised in the Black River section, of which Dr. John R. Hawes was Imade cap tain. Dr. Thompsou was elected a lieutenant and served in this capa city during the first year of the war, the company having been attached to, the 18th N.C. Regt. j On the re ganization of the regiment tri 1863 Dr. Thompson was elected Captain but this position he afterwards resigned and enlisted in the Tiiird N. C. Cavalry, where he remained until the close of the war. Just previous to the outbreak of hostilities he was at the University of New! York, at tending medical lectures but he, iir common with other students from the South, withdrew apd wrent to the Medical . College ati Nashville. where he graduated. . j A year or two after the war Dr. Thompson married Missv Carrie, daughter of Mr. Randolph Corbett. who with three children two sons and one daughter, survives him. He .was a gentleman; of highi honorable, noble impulses and his death is a serious loss, pot only to those near and dear to jhim but to the people of his entire section.
