WILMINGTON, N. C, MONDAY, OCTOBER
Finding the Body.
The report ot the suicide of Xed Collins,
the colored fireman on beard the steam
tug AlpJta, an account of which was pub
lished by us on Friday last, proves true.
The body was iound yesterday in the
water near Smithvillo by a boat of the
revenue cutter Colfax, which towed it
ashore.
Considerable Coal.
Those passing up Front street arc nat
urally attracted by the enormous piles of
coal and all kinds of coal at that- banked
up in Mr. Springer's yard, corner Front
and Mulbery streets. Large as it is, how
ever, all of it will bo sold this winter as
well as the huge piles of wood which are
gathered there ready for the cold season
to open.
One More this Season.
Capt. Lippitt proposes to give one
more excursion this season. It is to take
place on Wednesday next, the I7th inst.,
on the steamer Vn derhill, and if this bright
and beautiful weather holds until then he
will doubtless have a large crowd on
board. There will be a band for dancing
on board and Capt. Lippitt promises to
spare no exertion which will conduce to
the comfort. and pleasure of his guests.
New Tobacco Store.
We invite attention to the advertise
ment of Mr. Wallace H. Styron, as it ap
pears in this issue. He has opened a
very attractive display in the storo on
Market street, recently occupied by Col.
Hedrick. He has in stock numerous
choice brands of tobaccos and cigars which
will be sold at the lowest living prices.
Mr. Styron has had seven years' experi
ence with Mr. D. Pigot-., th. veteran to
bacconist, and he therefore knows just
what goods to oiler. .We bespeak for
him a fair share of patronage.
A Silver Wedding.
A gentleman in this city, one of the
leading citizens of the place, celebrated
his silver wedding last Saturday night, f r
it was just a quarter of a century to a
day, that this gentleman and his fair lady
took upon themselves the sacred r vows of
matrimony. The occasion was one of ex
ceeding interest ; the attendance was large,
the presents numerous and the good
wishes of those assembled without meas
ure. A very interesting feature of the
occasion, however, was the baptism of
this couple's first grandchild, threo gen
erations of the family having therefore
been present.
Deficient.
If there is a place in the country which
needs a .systematized for alarm, it is Wil
mington. Thomarkct house bell upon
tho alarm of fire to-day sounded the 1st,
3d and 4th fire districts and as a conse
quence the fire department did not know
in what district to go. Tlie Lilllc Giant
went down Princess street, the Adrian up
Fourth. It is no fault of the -department
that they do not on some occasions reach
tha scene of conflagration sooner, but the
entire blame belongs to and should be
changed to a deficient fire alarm system.
Would it not be money well expended of
our city authorities would cause to be
erected in different.portions of the city,
fire alarm boxes communicating by wire
with the Police Headquarters and engine
houses ? -
The Blondes.
Mile. Duclo's troupe of blonde beau
ties are to appear here on the Thursday
and Friday evening of this week, the
18th and 10th instants, and the posters
are up. around the city, attracting the at
tentionof all. They are "sensational stars?
of several magnitudes, each of them an
individual Venus, to judge by 'the anatom
cal display in the posters, and they
will not play here to empty benches. The
Richmond Dispatch says of them :
Mile. Duclo's blondes played to another
large audience last night at the Theatre,
and their performances were received with
hearty applause. Tha statuary embraced
the Three Graces, Classic Groupings, Love
Seducing Innocence, Innocence Prefers
Love to Riches, Dalphine and, Cbloe,
Queen of the Ballet, Simply to Thy Cross
1 Cling, Toilet of Venus, Power of Love,
Statues of La Pantheon, and was similar
to that part of the programme of the night
before. The boxing exercise of Miss Rose
Harland and Mr. Harry Franklin was in
teresting to many present, and both par
ties were at once recognized as adept3
with the gloves. " The exhibition was con
cluded with the Minuet.
For tho information of any curious by
stander who may have noticed the im
mense bale of waste paper that we sent
around to the junk dealer Saturday after
noon it may be stated that they were last

hr
City Court.
After an interval of a week, the Mayor
was greeted thi morning with a full
docket, for "- his judicial consideration.
The catalogue of crimes, emjbraced vari
ous violations agaiust the majesty and
dignity of the law. Tho first case called
and serred was John C. Minnis, colored,
charged with an assault and battery upon
the person of one Henry Wilkes colored.
Owing to the condition ; of tho defen
dant whewas "unable to appear in court)'
the case was continued until to-morrow
morning. The others were served in
turn viz: Robert Bull, drunk and dis
orderly conduct. He was ordered to leave
the city, with the caution that if he was
found within the limits this afternoon, he
would b re-arrested.
Madison Larkins, colored, disorderly
conducted. Fined $1 or 3 days on bread
and water.
Anna Jane Hill, colored, disorderly
conduct. Fined 6 days on bread and
water. - " " ' '
Sarah Hall, colored, disorderly conduct.
Seven days on bread and water.
The Liverpool and London and Globe
Insurance Company.
From a statement recently made by one
of our most influential daily papers, ve
find that the Liverpool; and London and
Globe Insurance Company receives the
largest premium income of any fire com
pany doing business in this city. This is
as it should be. We know of none more
deserving of public confidence . than it,
and its past record is thebest proof of its
title to this, and is also one which may be
summed up in , very few words. It has
been in existence about forty-two y eats.
In that time it has paid out to policy-hold-era
very nearly seventy millions of dol
lars. This is a showing which cannot be
surpassed by any company in existence.
The history of the Liverpool and Lon
don and Globe is without a blot. It in
variably pays its losses, it never makes
bad investments, and it never fails to
make money for its stockholders. It is
jacile princess amongst the insurance
instituions of Great Britain, and
in this, its adopted country, it stands a
splendid instance of what fire insurance
compauies may be when rightly admin
istered. The above is clipped from a recnt copy
of the New York Trade Reporter. By
reference to the reports made to the Sec
retary of State for the twelve months
ending the 30th of June 1877, we j find
that tho Liverpool & London & Globe
received the largest premium income of
any fire insurance company doing busi
ness in this State. This shows that! the
popularity of this great company is ' not
confined to New York, but, like its agen
cies, extends over tho whole civilized
world. The energetic firm of Jno.1 W.
Gordon & Bro. represent this company
here, and in their hands it is not likely to
lose the high position it has taken in
North Carolina.
' Appletons' Journal
For November presents a striking series of
contrasts in the subjects of some of its
papers. There is an illustrated article on
tho scenery, the towns, and the people, of
Fuget Sound and Washington Territory,
and an eminently picturesque description
of the curious places and odd people on
the Volga, in far-off Eastern Russia ; then
anew contributor describes in a fresh and
dramatic manner life in the art-studios of
Paris: while Mr. Julian Hawthorne
depicts the great English volunteer gath
ering at Wimbledon. In,additioD, there
are-two short stories of New England life,
and one of New York society ; while a
second paper on phases of far-Western
life describes the attempt to civilize a
youthful Blackfoot Indian making altof
gether a very kaleidoscope in variety and
contrast. The article, however, that will
be likely to attract most attention is Mr.
Burliogame's
account of
'Dead Magaeines,'
an
the
American
mnrrazines and reviews that at one
time
flourished, but which time has lefi
wrecks on its shores. This hitherto
written chapter of American literary
tory is exceedingly entertaining.
as
nn-
bis-
Talk about Thiers" is full of excellent
gossip pertaining to this famous French
man; and Mr. De Costa has a pleasing
and valuable paper "Concerning Autumn,'!
The authors of the short stories which are
well contrasted in incidents, and good in
quality, are jEdgar Fawcctt, Edward
Bellamy, Lizzie W. Champney, and
Rudolph Lindau. Mr. Rsinhart gives us
illustrations to one of the poems, a wdl
cxecuted frontispiece, tho subject - being
antique and . tho treatment eminently
artistic. The serial storiesy By Celia's
Arbor" and "Cherry Ripe," are con
tinued, and the editorial departments
as readable as usual. -
