The fun was kept up by the dancers until 3 o'clock this morning. . WILMINCxT Daily ON, N. C THURSDAY, DECEMBER T Suspension of Business- At a special meeting of the Produce Exchange, held at noon this day, it was resolved that the Exchange1 shall be closed on Monday and Tuesday, Decem ber 31st and January 1st, and that all trading by and between members of the Exchange shall cease on those days. A Specimen Brick. - The StatesTille Landmark says : Wil mington is becoming a popular market with Stateeville merchants. A prudent merchant told us the other day that he 1 bought a bill of beary groceries from a Baltimore firm and one from a Wilming ton firm ; the bill bought from the Wil mington firm; after, deducting the differ ence in freight, cort him nearly five per cent less. This speaks well for Wil- mington. Eclipsei Next Year. There will be four eclipses during the coming year -two of the sun and two of the moon. 1st, solar eclipse, Feb. 2, visible only in Australia; 2nd, eclipse of the moon, Feb. 1-7, visible to all the world oxcopt Europe and Africa; 3d, total eclipse of the sun, July 29th, 4th, partial eclipse of the moon, Aug. 12, visible to ev- erbody who will waste a short night to watch for it : On the 6th of May, Mecury will "transit" across Old Sol's disc, begin ning at 10 a. m. and leaving at 5 p.m. How to Measure Height. The following suggestions will enable one to measure the height of a tree or other standing objects, near enough for practical purposes : Place a small mirror in a level, position on the ground at a lit tle distance from the tree. Then step backward untilthe top of the tree is re flected in the centre of the mirror. The height of the tree equals your height rnu tiplied'by the distance of the tree from the mirror divided by your distance from the mirror. The Masonic celebration. ( Our readers will not forget that the members of St. John's Lodge No. 1, Wil mington Lodge, No. 319, and Concord Chapter are to celebrate the anniversary to-day of the first named lodge. These three bodies will meet at St. John's Hall promptly at 7 o'clock, when they will march in procession to the residence of Hon. A. M. Waddell, beaded by the Cor net Concert Club, and escort him to the Upera House. The add rses to be 1 deli vered by Col. Waddell will well be worth hearing. His subject is "Two Great Americans, Morse and Maury" and it is the first time it has ever been delivered in our city. The Opera House will be opened to the public, who arerespecfully invited to attend, free of any charge for admission,and hear Col. Waddell's 'lecture. Christmas. As a general thing Christmas Eve and Christmas Day passed off quietly enough here in Wilmington. The Day was ush ered in by the melodious tin horn, wield ed by numerous mellowdious fellows, and from 7 to 10 o'clock on Christmas Eve night the tooting on Market and Front streets was tremendous. On that niirKt. h ntnrGM and navements were crowded with throngs of esger purchasers -"- ' " and the trade in toys and fancy goods is characterized as having been very good. There were many attempts at the decora tion of stores, some of whic- were truly pleasant to the eye. Mesirs. Boatwrht & McKoy produced a brilliant illumina tion by the aid of Chinese lanterns dis played in front of their store, as did also Messrs. Brown & Roddick in front of their toy store by the aid of Japanese lanterns. Mr. George Myers had the interior of his grocery house beautifully decorated with evergreens and Christmas traDDinss. and Messrs. West & Co. also made a beautiful display of green and red decorations. But the most peculiarly attractive display seems to have been at Mr. N. H. Sprunt's store, at Exchange Cornerwhere a brilliantly illuminated Christmas Tree filled the window, while a veritable Santa Uaus paraded through . . . j j -.1 : : tne store to iue woaaer ami uuuiiiawuu and delieht of the iuvenile population. - On Christmas Da v the weather was cheerless and uncomfortable which only made the within doors more pleasant oy the contrast.

Fire at Ccrre Gordo We are informed br a correspondent at derro Gorrln Hnlnmbna Co.. N. C.that a fire occurred in that village on Christmas night, by which a store house, and part of a stock of goods belonging to Mr. A . Sessoms of that place were destroyed.- Mr. Sessoms had insurance on his stock for $1,000 with If eases J. W. Gordon & Bro. of this city, in Ihe Commercial In surance Co. of Richmond, V. Our cor respondent did not furnish any particnlars as to the origin of the fire, or the actual loss sustained. City Court.

The following particulars relative to this individual are gleaned from the columns of an exchange : Miller went to Augusta soon after the war, and becoming agent of the Southern Life, traveled the country and gained considerable reDutation for his energy and success in his line of business, having induced a large number of people m the Southern States, and particularly in Georgia and South Carolina, to take out policies in the company then represented bv him. Uust before the collapse of the Southern Life he became agent of the Cotton States Life Insurance Company and established an office in Augusta. In November of 1876 Miller obtained a large amount of money, by some estimated as hish as S 15.000. from various merchants in Aususta. on paper purporting to have been signed by responsible parties ' in South Carolina anil elsewnere ana ac cepted by merchants in Charleston and other cities. In some instances he paid small debts due by him with large drafts, receiving in each instance the sum over and above the amount due, so as to make up the face of the draft. Anions the parties who accepted this Daner was J. G. Bailie & Bro., who sup posed that it was all right until Decem ber 79, after Miller had gone, no one knew whither, when they discovered that the names on it were forged. Other par ties about this time made similar discov eries and the search which was then put on foot has jusnow resulted in the cap ture of the forger. He has been heard of in several places within the last year, but it was onlr a short time ago that he was definitely "spotted" in Boston where, un der the name of Gjlonel Thoman, be pre tended to be practicing law. ne there gained the affections of a rich widow, and was entrusted with much ot her business, and was getting along prosperously. Mr. Robt. C. Bailie went to Boston in search of the man, but Miller got wind of his nrssence and fled to Canada, where he save his name. as Champion and professed to be a detective hunting ku-klux. He was takeu under arrest at the instance of Mr. Bailie and confined in jail until the pa pers necessary for his arrest can be re ceived from Georgia. Mr. li. has a requisi tion for him from the United States Gov ernment but certain other papers are re quired by the Canadian court. Aiuier a reai uame isuuuu ua ixvy Tjer. and he came originally from Queen Anne county. Marvland. His case is an other striking illustration of the fact that "A man may smile and smile and be a vil lain." Hotel Arrivals. Pckcell House. Wilmington, N. C. December, 2oth.

Tyler, an employe of the foundry of Messrs. Hart, Bailey & Co., had the misfortune of losing the thumb en his right hand yesterday by the . dis arrangement of some of the machinery, while engagei in dressing a pair of plow handles. Dr. -W. J: H. Bellamy rend -red the necessary medical attention and, we are pleased to learn, that notwithstanding the loss of doing well. his tkumb, Mr. Tyler is St. John's Day. This day is known as the Festival of St. John, or St. John's Day, and is placed so near Christmas because of the fact that he was the disciple whom Jesus loved. He is called the Evangelist because he wrote a cos pel. and to distinguish him from John the Baptist. He was an hud ble fisherman of Galilee, the son of Zebe dee and Salome and brother of James, and was chosen by Jesus, together with his brother James and Peter, to be a witness of the transfiguration and of His agony in the garden of Gathsemaae. He it waS who lay on his Master's breast at the Last Supper, when Christ disclosed to him who it was that should betray Him, and committed to him the care of His mother. A Good Showing. Tbo following figure represent the in crease in receipts in cotton and naval stores at this port for the year 1S77 over tbosa of 1876, the calculation having been made up to, Aad inclusive of,this date, Dec 27th: Increase in cotton, 4,004 bales. Increase in spirits, 10.904 casks. Increase in rosin, 32,303 barrels. Increase in tar, 2521 barrels Increase in crude turpentine, 22,800 barrels. As-there are three more week days be fore the new year these figures will be increased somewhat, and as cotton was late in coming into market this season t he receipts in January will svell the receipts a?ul incY-iwe in Lhis starle verv materially. jrbe exhibit is certainly a very flattering one.
