Annual Export Table
We are indebted to Col. John L. Cant
well, Secretary of the Produce Exchange,
for a copy of his annual export table just
printed which gives a 'statement- of the
principal articles of produce and manu
facture exported from the. port of Wil
mington, N. C, to points out of the State,
for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1877, and
compared with the year 187G, 1875 and
1874. j Also, the receipts of a few articles
for the same period, with a .note of the
shipping for 1877. The table is complete
correct and comprehensive ami evidences
a Ion" period vf anxious care in its coin-
pilation. It should prove invaluable io
the mercantile fraternity. It was print
ed by Mr. S
G. Hull, book and job
printer, and the
mechanical execution is
very superior, equaling the best figure
work we have ever seen anywhere.
City Court-
ti.. .,r tlm two colored women,
A l-il VUOVy S
.1 Mdllie Waddcll. arraign-
ed for. disorderly conduct yesterday morn-
ing before His Honor the Mayor, and sen
tenced to pay a fine j of ten dollars,
which sentence was suspended, at re
quest of counsel for defendants until
to-day, was called this morning at 10
o'clock. After some little .argument
and talk by the counsel for the defend
ants, who by the way seems to be earning
his fee in this case) judgment was
again suspended until to-morrow morning
at 10 o'clock owing to the fact that there
seems to be some talk 'of compromising in
the case before the Mayor, and that to
come up before the next term of the Crim
inal Court between the same parties.
The women Hester Swann and Mollic
Waddell were again released on their own
recognizance to appear to-morrow morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
It seems to our understanding that the
city authorities have shown a good degree
of leniency in this matter, and have
evinced a desire to be actuated in the set
tlement of this difficulty by none other
than, motives of justice. ' Rut we do begin
'to ''question very seriously whether it is
becoming the dignity of the Court to
make a further postponement of ihe case,
waiting on the whims of the defendants
In fact it seems to us that it would be
establishing a good precedent lor the city
authorities" to refuse any compromise
whatever, and let these disturbers of the
peace understand that they propose to
fight this matter out to the j bitter end in
justification of the conduct of their officials.
It would save, we think, trouble in the
future, and serve as a warning to all
those who are inclined, to do wrong.

Nearly A Fire.
Yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock,
a house occupied by Mr. John Jones, an
employoof the W. & W. It- 11 Co , on
Dickinson Hill, betwe-n Urunswick and
Harnett streets, was found to be on fire.
No gencral.alarm was given, but thosa who
were near at hand ' succeeded in getting
I "WV "" w
wa1r on the flames, aud nut out the fire.
The origin of the fire is unknown. It was
found between the weather-boarding and
the ce iling aud is thought to have probably
been caused by rats and mate es.
A Pretty Mantlepiecc Ornament.
A pretty ornament may be obtained by
suspending an acorn by a piece of thread
tied around it, within half an inch of the
surface of some water contained in a vase,
tumbler, or saucer, aud allowing it to re
main undisturbed for several weeks. It
will soon burst open, and small roots will
seek the water; a straight and tapering
stem as beautiful as thoss of the oak.
The water should . be changed once a
month, taking care to supply water of the
same warmth; bits of charcoal added to it.
will prevent the water from souring. If
the little leaves turn yellow, put a grain
of nitrate of ammonia in, the utensil
which holds the water, and it will renew
their luxuriance.
