The Light Artillery.
The 'Cape Fear Light Artillery '.were
Out yesterday on parade, under the com
mand of Maj. James Reilly, the Senior
Lieutenant in thecompau'. They drilled
excellently, giving a specimen of sabre
exercise, which elicited the admiration of
all who saw it. They are 'a fine looking
body of men and an ornament to the city.
The Festival this Evening.
We are requested to call attention to
the fact that the ladies of the. Filth Street
M. E. Church will have a Festival this
evening for the benefit of their church, at
the residence' of Mrs. Fleet, corner Orange
and Front streets. There will be lots of
cake, oj'sters, &c, for sale and those who
may attend will probably find it a plcas-
aut occasion.
The Last of the Shops.

Island, opposite Market Dock, was laid
low this morning: It was tackled by Mr.
N. B. Vincent, who caused his men to
break into one of the side, when it fell.
There were upwards of 12,000 bricks in
that chimney, and its fall shook the en
tire island. ,
The Parade Yesterday.
lherc was a full-dress parade Tester
day afternoon of the Wilmington LiVh
Infantry, iu espouse to the notice given
by Maj. Taylor. The ranks were not as
full as the friend of the company migh
have dcsireU, but yet what they lacked
in numbers they made up in the precis
ion wiui wmck they executed the various
maneuvers of the drill. We would be
g.ad to see the boys appear at least once
every month.
Reducing the Force.
Aud j t is jiot only in- regard -to gas. that
orders haye becrj issued by the Board of
County Commissioners relative to 'the
county officials; but henceforth all are to
furnish their own fuel and their "own

been dignified by the name of "officers of
the Court" have been reduced to three

An Early Spring.
It will be noticed that as far 'North as
Vlbany, New York', the rivers and ocean
nlets are opening to navigation daily, and
entire confidence is expressed by the news-
?apers that they will not be closed again
this season. All these authoriti nr
ooking for a much earlier spring than
tory birds are staieti to o '4utir-irv
ustify such anticipations. Well, we shall
not dare to take issue with the river ice
and tho birds especially the wild geese;
but, if vc fail to have a severe March, we
shall be agreeably disappointsd.
