Howe's Circus posters have been posted at the Sounds and at the yarious public roads leading into the city. A hard money journal says that the policy of the government should be to pay up. Wc like paid up policies. A a sign of a revival of business,, wt may mention that a number of gentlemen have lately inquired the price of a suit of clothes. The sale of reserved seats for Rignold's performance of Henry V. commences to morrow morning a4t Heinsberger's Book Store. Yesterday was about as dreary a day as April can produce. It rained in torrents through the crftire day, with a heavy wind f.om the Southeast. The monthly meeting of the Ladies' Benevolent Society, postponed from last week, will be held tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. . The Lillious youngster now struggles un der his mother's left arm as she tries to jab the sulpher spoon into his mouth and says: "The dose take it." We publish nearly four columns of new advertisements in this issue and vet with out circumscribing, in any manner, the space usually allotted to reading matter.

A meeting of the Wilmington Com press and Warehouse Company will be held to-morrow morning, at the Bank of New Hanover, to act upon report of Com mittee oh By-Laws. Yesterday was known as Octave Sunday' as well as First Sunday after Easter. It is sometimes called Low Sunday. .The title of Octave comes with it as being the eighth day after the resurrection. It must be understood that the Wash Green ,convictcd recently in the Criminal! Courtis not J. Washington Green, so wIl known here of late as Mr. K. Kidder's carriage-driver. "J. Washington' beirs us to make this statement and we do so very cheerfully. ' - We have had the pleast.rj of meeting here Mr. D. K. Townscud, Ajreut for Howe's Circus and Meuagerie. We found him to be a geuial, pVnsant' gentleman and a thorough business man and fully alive to the iu tie rests of his Company; i " . I i .a - Farming is the foundation of all the arts of civilization, the supprt of com merce, the ground woik of natural wealth, the prop and stay and substratum of pub lic morals and national strength. He was a well meaning man, but they had been married a long while, and when he playfully asked her what was next to nothing, she sarcastically answered that at this season of the year she4hought his winter flannels were. Wc know what they are for we have tried them. . We mean th-.se large cans of 'prepared apples Mr. George Mjers speaks of in his advertisement to-day and a '-'sample cau" of which found its way to our table. They are as he says, "per fectly elegant" and are good and cheap. To the Sound. Arrangements have been made for the entertainment of the officers of the mili tary companies in tho battalion wbowill be here to-morrow, by taking them on a pic-nic to Wrightsvillo Sound. Those' who arc go are requested to be on hand at the Armory of the Wilmington Light In- fautry promptly at 10 o'elock, as the wagon train mnst move with military pre- cision as far as time is concerned. Wrizhts- villc is the objective point. Thanks fori an invitation' to "assist." 'Milt WILMINGTON, N. C, Bishop GibbQBS in Raleigh. Bishop Gibbons was in Raleigh yester day, the guest of. Wm. Grimes, Esq. He was to have officiated at sarvices at St. John's Church in the forenoon, and to have administered the Rite of Confirma tion to a number of candidates. He was ccompaniecny the Rev. Father White of Portsmouth, Va. B A Scrap or History. To-morrow, at 12 o'clock, the Federal troops a Columbia will evacuate the State, House and Gov. Wade Hampton wtlMakc possession of it. The Kr h ihe cv;k. nation emanates from the President, but tho direct order is from Gen. Sherman to hi subordinate. Twelve years" ago this spring Hampton evacuated the city, leav ing .one end of the town as Sherman en tered the other. Now Sherman goes out and Hampton comes in. History some times revenges itself as well ns repeats itself. f City Court. . Isaac Foster, charged with disorderly conduct, was fined 5 and costs. Frank Clark drunk, judgment sus- ,pended on payment of costs. Sallie Walker and Rose Tyler, charged with disorderly conduct, were found guilty and fined $10 aud costs or 30 days service on the streets, each. .The same, on another charge of disor derly conduct, received a similar judgment. Alex, Atkinson, disorderly, was fined $26 and costs or 30 days work on the streets. On case was continued. Apple Snow . A most delicate sauce to take the place of ice cream in party lunches, before the summer season, is made of apple jelly cov ered with frosting. For the frosting use the whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff froth; then thoroughly mix with one cup of sweet cream, and season with sugar to suit the taste. Cut out the jelly in small squares, place them nicely iu sauce plates, then: dip over the juices three spoonfuls of the frosting, leaving Bpaccs for jelly to show through. The clear amber color is then set off with dashes of cream snow, which gives the wh le a very artistic ef fect. IIowe?g Great London Show By reference to the attractive double column advertisement published elsewhere in this issue, it will be seen t hat Howe's Great London Circux, with Sanger's Eng lisbJMeuagerie of trained auimals and Mardi Gras Carnival, will stopover in. this city one day only, the date being fixed for Monday next, the ICth iustM when two performances will be given here, one at 2 M., and the other at night. It is not the first time thrs Circus 1ms visited Wilmington, and a great many of us have ' 5 pleasing reccolleclions of .their ap pearance here in the fall of 1873, when tie mammoth tent was filled at every performance, and when the universal ver dict was that it stood at the head of tho list of -Circus troupes. Recently, the Company hasbeen.entircly reformed, and the establishment thoroughly reorganized avast amount of money having been spent for the purpose. This show combines what -is said to be two of tho finest exhibitions in America Howe's London Circus aud Sanger's English Menagerie. and siuce its advent in the South has added all the exccllen ices to be found on this side of the; Atlan tic. Iu addition to the manifold attrac tions presented heretofore, is Dockrill's unrivalled oquestrianjaggrcgation, includ ing Mile Dockrill, the superb female rider? whowili regale her auditors every afternoon and evening. Among the zoological spe cialties are the five performing elephants; the den of five Royal Bengal' tigers, the lair of six grave-robbing hyenas, and the massive cage of half dozcu tawny Irons from the jungles of Mexican. These arc but a partial list- of the array of wjld beasts, birds, and reptiles. So great is I the popularity of this exhibition in Au gusta, Ga., where it has been in quaters for tne last three winters, tbat licenses have been voluntarily remitted to them, and the Mayor and. Council have address ed a letter to Mr. Barnum, the manager, testifying to the merit of his "exhibition, and the decorum and gentlemanly deport ment of his employees. All show-people acknowledge the superiority of this ag gregation, and concede it a very high place in popular favor. It is free from any and all the objectionable features so frequently encountered with traveling shows! and unites at once merit, solid character, unsullied repeatability and de- corum. MONDAY, APRIL 4), I Dollar for Dollar. By notice published elsewhere it will le seen that arrangements have been per fected by which all county warrants fssued since January 1st and for services rendered since that date, will be cashed on presen tation at either the Bank of New Hanover or tli3 First National Bank, and a lively run of business may be expected at the pointers of those banks during the next tew da vs. Deputy Clerk. ,Mr."Jos. L. Barlow has been appointed Deputy Clerk of the Markei for tjie pur pose "of weighing and inspecting all beef cattle sold in this market, and from what we know of that gentleman we have no hesitation. in saying that he will make an efficient and capable ofticia I. : The ordi nance relative to this matter, which goes into effect on the 15th inst., is' published in our advertising columns to-day. To Be Repeated. By special request Prof. : -Agostini will repeat his soiree at the City Hall on Fri day evening next. The little folks will be drawn iu by four fairy horses accom panied by grooms. The entertainment of Prof. Agostini of a week 'ago was so verj'. enjoyable that the Prof, is compelled under, the pressure, in the language "bf the immortal J.X.,to repeat the entertain ment for the benefit of those who were unable to attend the first. The admis sion will be free, though a collection will be taken up to defray the expenses of the hall, light and music. Refreshments will be furnished at very reasonable prices. Accident on the C. C- R. W. The Charlotte Observer says : The passenger train on the Carolina Central Railroad, which leaves here at 6: SO in the morning for Wilmington, met with an ac cident at McAl pine's station, on Thursday morning. The passenger car mounted the "frog" and was thrown from the track and turned over on its side. Fortunately the train was running slowly. The con ductor and one passenger the only per sons in the car were tossed about a little but received no injury. It is said that the onl' injury to the car was a broken window glass, caused by the conductor and the passenger both trying to get out of the same window at Che same time; The car was left on the side of the road till a freight train came up aud "righted'' it. Death of Capt. Whitehead. A venerable citizen, of Wilmington, Capt. William B. Whitehead, .dleil iu this city early yesterday morning. Captain Whitehead was born in 1801, und was therefore in the 70th year of hjs age. He was a native of Norfolk and; for many yours previous to the war h. Id the, rank and command of Captain in the U.S. R. M. service. He located iu Wlimington about twenty-live years ago and has re mained a citizen ol: the place, ever since, lie was in both tin; Mexican and Fljrida wars and had-seem' a long life of arduous and honorable service. . : The opcuing'of the war .found 'him in Wilmington on furlough, when he imme diately forwarded his rctiguatiou to Washington City and tendered his services to the Confederate Government. .Since the war he has held the position of Porte Warden here, and. to-day the ilags of the shipping iii port arc at. half-mast in re spect to his memory. Peace to his ashes. Rignold's Henry V. ' As has previously been vannouuted ly us, and. as will be seen by reference to advertiscmct in this issue, the eminent tragedian, George RignohL will give one performance in this city, and on Saturday evening next. J It is well enough for our people to un-yl derstand that this will prove a first-c!as.-i entertainment iu every respect and one that will lurpats any-dramatic porfoim-: auce ever before pflercd on the boards iu this 'city. Mr. Kignold brings with Lima splendid Iroupe and all of the cost mner, properties and mecUanical appliances from Bootk's theatre, New York, necessary f jt the successful rendition of . this grand S.hakspcrian siectacle. 'There are in the troue proper 4b dramatic 'artists and besides these sixty auxiliaries will appear on the stage. It is hardly necessary for us to say that this great attraction will probably draw as large an audience as the Opera House will accommodate aud that those who wish to j engage choice seats must go for them early iu order to secur them. " It is a singular fact about Dooley's Yeast 1owieb, which is always put, up in quater, half, one-pound andfive-ponnd cans, that it can't be shaken j in public estimation. People know when they use it, that they save money and at the same time get the best possible returns, Every can is full weight. ; NO.! (57 Criminal court.
