Only two trifling cases before the City Court to-dayr -' -- - - - The woman who doesn't wish she had a seal skin cloak for the winter hasn't been born yet, r The problem of- buying a ten-dollar Christmas present with seventy-five cents available cash will presently present itself for the elucidation of the brave young man who is doing his own courting. "The fact that fewer loafers now or nament the street corners, is no proof of a diminution in. our adult popula tion. It merely signifies, according to probabilities, that the weather is getting cooler. No Through Mail. There were no mails through irom the north to-day and will be none to-night. The morning train will be discontinued for a day or two until connection can be again made at Weldon, due notice of which will be given. It is probable that this connection will be- made to-morrow and that the through mail matter which is now accumulating at Weldon may be transferred thence or on Thursday at the latest. Handsome Barque. The Br. barque North Carolina, now lyiDg at the wharf of the C. C. K. W., probably attracted more attention than any vessel which sailed into this port. As a model she is said by judges to be as near perfect as is possible. She is remarkably strong built and is one of the best ap pointed ships we have ever noticed. She is supplied with'all the latest improvements; her mast are of iron, as are also, her main yard arms; her deck houses are of walnut and the cabin is made of the best mahog ony. The North Carolina v is built at a cost of nearly sixty thousand dollars, ex pressly for this trade and when loaded she draws less than 12 feet. Lamp Explosion. A white woman who lives near the gas works in the lower part of the city, but whose name our informant could not re call, . was severely burned a few days since by the explosion of a lamp. The burns were severest on her right arm and side. Her injuries were attended to when it was found that though severe, they are not necessarilj' dangerous. A Broken Thigh. A colored rnan by the name, pf Theodore Allen had his leg crushed by the falling on him pf a piece of scantling at one of the mills' a day or two since. He received the necessary surgical attendance when it was found that his right thigh bone was broken. This was bandaged and splin tered and at last accounts he was doing well. opera House. A very respectable audience assembled at the Opera House last evening to wit ness the first periormanco in this city of the Hey wood Combination. The enter tanement upon the whole was far above me diocrity, and in fact the only drawback to the performance we were able to dis cover was the singing. With the reputa tion the Hey woods enjoy we had expected to hear better singing but what was lack ing is this respect was made up in others. Their jokes were all new and) the entire performance was peculiarly free from any thing approaching vulgarity. The Arnold Brothers are an host in themselves and Miss Siddons gained lor herself many friends. Frank West was there and aquitted himself in his usually bappy style which always delights an au dience, i . T ; ;Mr. Cressville, cornet sob, was good, though we think he might havo bean im proved on Upon the whole the troupe is one which is bound to give satisfaction to anv audience and we do not hesitate to advise our friends who wish to have a pleasant evening to visit the Hey woods to night. "It is Perfectly splendid." "There's nothing . like it." "Never could use baking powder till I tried yours." "Can't speak too highly of it. That's what they say of Doouirs Yeast Powder. ." DA Improvements. The stables of the Street Car Company have been moved from the corner of Seventh and lied Cress streets to Seven teenth and Market stceets. Among other improvements on the line we have noticed that the broken perforated seats of the cars have been replaced with new ones, which not only add to the ap pearance of the cars but to the comfort of the passengers. One of the Old Timers. The skull of a human being was picked np upon the road to the Sound, near Toorners mill bridge', about five miles from this city, yesterday, by Justice Wagner, and brought in to the city. It is supposed to be the skull of one ot the tribe of an ancestor of Col. S. Bull or .Capt. S. Tail. The skull is a very old one and had perhaps been in the ground for two hundred years or more as there were roots growing from the crevices of the front and clinging to the bones. Striped Silks. A Parisian caprice, said to be due to Worth, is that of returning to striped silks Those an inch wide arc especially in favor such as a stripe of black satin alternating with a stripe of black gross grain, or else in contrasting colors for house dresses, as old gold satin striped with garnet or with black velvet, clair de lune with garnet or pale blue stripes with gray separated by threads of cardinal red. A Worth cos tume of inch-wide stripes of black satin and gross grain has a belted basque with plain satin plastron edged with thread lace, while the postilion back has only a satin piping. The plain silk sleeves are so tight as to need gathers at the elbow, and are slashed across in three places above the wrists to show an inner cuff of the striped silk which extends below the sleeve. Small Talk. Never abuse small talk, nobody does un less he be a -stranger to its conveniences. Small talk is the small change of life; there is no getting on without it. There are times when 'tis folly to be wise; when 'a little nonsense is very palatable, and when gravity and sedateness ought to be kicked down stairs. A philosopher cuts a poor figure in the ballroom unless he leaves his wisdom at home. Metaphysics is as in structive in the midst of agreeable prattle as a death's head on a festal board. We have met with men who were too lofty for small talk. They would never condescend to play with a ribbon or flirt a fan. They were above such trifling; in other words, they were above making themselves agree able, above pleasing, and above being pleased. They were all wisdom, all gravi ty, and all tediousness, which they be stowed upon company with more than Dogberry's generosity. A man who can not talk has no more business in society than a statue. The world i3 made up of trifles, and he who can trifle elegantly and gracefully is a valuable acquisition to mankind. Iieis a Corinthian column in the fabric of society. The Sampson Fair. A note from the Secretary of the Samp son county Fair, Mr. O. L. Chesnutt, speaks in very sanguine terms as to the prospects. He says that the indications are good for the bestTair ever held in that county. The people of Sampson and the adjoining counties seem thoroughly arous ed on the subject. The liberal premium list offered by the Society, as well as the very liberal special premiums offered, are already having an excellent effect. One of the principal attractions of the occa sion will be the presence of Maj. Burgess, the Principal of the Cape Fear Military Academy, with about fifty cadets. The following is a corrected list of the Marshals as furnished us by Mr. Chesnutt : Col. John Ashford, Chief Marshal. ASSISTANTS.

At or about eleven o'clock this morn ing, the alarm of fire was sounded, caused by the burning of a frame house on the premises of Mr. Sam. Davis, on the cor ner of Ninth and Market streets. The fire, when discovered, had gained such headway as to be beyond the control of the few who had discovered it, and the general alarm was sounded, which brought out the fire department. Upon reaching the scene of conflagration, we found that the kitchen of the residence of Mr. Davis was enveloped in flames. The steam fire engine Cape Fear being the first to arrive was the first to throw a stream of water on the burniug building and did much to wards saving the dwelling house. The kitchen was occupied by two or three families of colored people and most of their household effects were destroyed. Delia Young, one of the tenants of the house, at the time' of the fire was down town on a shopping expedition and ar riyed only in time to see her house envel oped in flames. She had left two small children in the house and through fear of their safety fainted, when opposite the residence of "Mr. Donald Mcltae. The poor woman was carried into an adjoining house and such assistance as was near by, rendered her. A daughter of Mr. Davis was overcome by the excitement and lost her consciousness, and was removed to an adjoining building. One of the members of the fire department was overcome by the heat and he was also removed, and as sistance rendered him. The property belongs to L. Vollers but we have not been able to find out the amount of insurance on the buildin rr Mr. Davis loss through breakage of furnitu're was about one hundred dollars on which there is no insurance. ' The horses belonging to the Litlle Giant steam engine were in use by the city authorities and happened to be down at Kidder's mill when the first alarm was given. Notwithstanding this fact how ever, the above named steamer threar the second stream of water, and we do not think that more than five minutes could have elapsed after her arrival oh the ground before she had a stream onj the fire. It was the Quickest work we evrr saw. ! In a short time all three steam engines, the Cape I ear, Little Giant and Adrian were there at work in the order named. The Hook and Ladder Company as usual were also promptly on hand and worked with the zeal that has always characterized the members of that splendid organization. Lippincott's Magazine, Lippindoil's Magazine for December opens with an interesting and richly illus trated article on Sicily, by Alfred T. Bacon. "Captured by Cossacks;" is the title' of another illustrated paper detailing the adventures of a French officer who served under Davoust in 1813. The new serial,"For Percival," also illustrated, con tinues to form one of the most attractive features of the Magazine. An article which cannot fail to attract much attention and excite a lively interest is one containing the reminiscences of a venerablo lady ("M. T.") belonging to the highest circles of Washington society, who was the guest of Madison, an inmate of the White House during the presidency of Jackson, and an intimate friend of Washington Irving, John P. Kennedy, and other celebrities. The paper, which is full of lively descriptions and amusing anecdotes, is entitled "Days of My Youth." ' . . T. S. Perry, the well-known Boston critic, discusses Ouida's Novels, and ex plains the causes of their immense popu larity, despite their glaring faults and the censures of reviewers. William Owens writes entertainingly on the "Folk-Lore of the Southern Negroes," and Olive Lo gan gives an account of "English Domes tics and their Ways." There is a story of French Internationalism, "A Portrait," by Ita Aniol Prokop. Mrs. IL II. Davis's powerful novelette, and Will Wallace Harney's tale of Socthern manners, "A Kentucky Duel," are both concluded. Among the poems, "Selim," by Annie Porter, deserves notice ; and the "Gossip besides much other lively and . agreeable reading, has a description of the departure of the Imperial Guards, by a Moscow cor respondent. This number concludes the twentieth volume and the tenth year of the issue of this magazine. The conductors announce attractive features for the new year, and promise that no effort will be spared to maintain and increase its popularity. T-777 27, 1877. NO. 264 Uumailable Letters. The follows nj is a list of unmailable letters remaning in the city Postonke : -Alex MacRae, Shoe Heel, Robeson county, N. C; Mrs. Phillis Wards, Sumer viile, S. C; Mrs. Catharino Honrinc. Church Excursion. We have been informed that there will be an excursion from Columbia to this city on Saturday next of the pastes ind members, numbering about two thousand, of the different colored Methodist churches of Columbia. The excursion is gotten up for the purpose of raising money to build another church in Columbia. The River at Weldon. A gentlemau who arrived Lcre last night .'ota Weldon, gives a very graphic account of the Hoods at that place. The damages have been immense, but so far as known there bus been no loss of life. Some of those who lived on a little island just above where the Seaboard bridge was located, were, and still are in danger, the island being entirely submerged and the people residing there having t. com pelled to take refuge in the trees. A boat succeeded in crossing yesterday, about 11 o'clock, for the purpose of sending a mes sage on to Portsmouth over the wires. In Veldon, the water has invaded the. busi ness portion of the town and is within a few feet of the railroad shed. The tor rent is roaring like the waves of tho ocean during a storm and almost the en tiro country around Weldon i.s being cov ered by water. The plantation of Mr. N. M. Long,embracing about 12,000 acres, is entirely under water and it is supposed that nearly all of the crops on it .will be lost. The embankment of the Petersburg Road, 15 to 18 feet high, which runs along the Roanoke river for a mile, was broken through on Sunday night about 12 o'clock and the "noise of the madnes3 of the waves" is described as having been terrific.
