WILMINGTON, N: C, TUESDAY, MARCH
Then and Now.
It is said that the winter of 182930
surpassed, the present one in jmildness.
Farmers' ploughed every month of the sea
son, and no snow fell until February 2.
It was followed, howeveij, by a cold,
backward spring with a snow storm in
May which killed the returning swal
lows. Personal.
' Col. Wm. Lamb, of Norfolk, one ol
the gallant defenders of Fort Fisher, was
in tlie city yesterday and registered at
the Purcell House. Col Lamb's visit
was altogether on private business, and it
was not generally known to his many
friends in this city, that one of the he
roic defenders of Fisher, who was so
deservedly popular in this community in
the time that tried men's grit, was in our
midst until after his departure this morn
ing. .. y.' i i i .
Deserved Promotion. I
i
Mr. George W. Bryan, who has been
telegraph operator at Rocky Point for
two years, has if been appointed operator
and agent at Halifax on the Wilmington
and Weldon railroad. Mr. Bryan has a
fine record for honesty, capacity, and de
votion to duty and we are pleased to hear
of hi'sj promotion. He I is succeeded at
Kocky Point by that promising and clever
young gentleman, Mr. William H. Newell,
who is a good telegraph I operator, and
quite popular, and acceptable iu his
present position.
I False Alarm.
Last night about ten o'clock there was
I
quite a stir made by the Hook and Ladder
company starting out with their truck and
running down Market street while1 'the
gong which is attached to the truck
sounding with every revolution, of the
wheels; caused everybody around in the
vicinity to wonder what the matter was
and if there was a fire where was it? But
no one could tell. So the gallant Hook
and Ladder boys, like the famed crown
head recorded in history, turned around
and "marched up the hill again," ; until
they reached the Hook and Ladder Hall,
when the truck was safely stored away,
and the members of the company quietly
stole away to their little beds. For tunate-
lv no general alarm was given and the
engines did not all come out.
Magistrate's Court-
(The coloredman John Munson,an account
of whose arrest was made in yesterday's
issue of the Review, found in possession
of a laitern with initials of the C. C. R.
W. Co., stamped on it, which
he was trying to dispose of
forj the whole amount of ten cents, was
brought to trial to-day before J usticc E.
D. Hall, and in default of bond for the
sum of two hundred dollars held for trial
at Jthe April term of the Criminal Court of
this county. -
The trial of Samuel Robinson, appoin
ted for 11 o'clock to-day, was necesarily
postponed by Justice Hall on account of
the absence of witnes:es for the detendaat.
The trial is again set for 11 o'clock to
morrow. Hotel Arrivals. ,

I Tbe Queen of the Oven.
I A breakfast-biscuit or tea-roil made with
Doolet's Yeast Powder's is certainly
the qneen of the oven so . light, white,
and delicious. Yon lift it tenderly, break
it open gently, spread it daintily with
fresh, sweet butter, waiting to be gracious.
After breakfasting on biscuits made with
Dooley' Yeast Powdeb, what' man
would contemplate suicide or grumble
because his wife asked him for money ?
h Postal Dots. 1
The Railway Age, a spicy little paper
published by piail agents and in the jin
terest of that fraterLity, bontains seme
items of interest everywhere, j We glean
a few dots : j
i The name mail agents 4s generally ap
plied to every man whoj distributes mail
on the railways, but there is a distinction.
The men employed on' the through ' lines
are called route agents; those on short
lines, mail rDUte messengers. ' When jon
the lines tvhere it is necessary to have
two or more men to attend to the distri
bution of the different classes of mail mat
ter, such parties are called railway post-office-clerks.
There is a difference in the
salary of each. j
The territory of the Uuited States is
divided into nine divisions by the Post
office Department, with a superintendent
to each of the , divisions. North Carolina
is in the fourth division, the superinten
dent of which is L. M. Terrill, with head
quarters in Atlanta Ga.
The employes of the railway mail ser
vice take more pride in their business than
almsot any other employes of the govern
ment. This is because each man stands
upon his record. Every misseiit letter or
package is reported to the division super
intendent daily, aud there is no possibility
of saddling the blame on the wrong man.
During the year ending July lsj;,! 1877,
there were distributed 675,696,858 letters,
and 163,736 were missentJ It therefore
follows that only one letter in evary 2,500
was missent. - ' I
Mail Route to Point Caswell.
The contemplated new mailj route be
tween Wilmington and Point Caswell by
steamer, has made some of the citizene
about Moore's Creek and vicinity fearful
that they will, in consequence, be de
prived of mails. To all such we would
say that the weekly mail between Long
Creek and Point Caswell will be contin
ued as heretofore. We have seen a letter
from Hon. A. Mh Wjaddell to that effect,
and also he has written twice to other
parties in that vicinity to he same effect.
The mail from Rooky Point to Long (Creek
will be semi-weekly after the 1 16th inst.,
and as before to Point Caswell by land.
We mention this fact in order that our
subscribers in Pender county may ! rest
satisfied on the subject of mails
between Rocky Point and Point
Caswell. The people in that entire sec
tion are much pleased at the prospect of
a new mail route, by water, between this
city and Point Caswell, but at the same
time jdesiro that the old routes should
stand and be increased iu service. Now
is the time for those in need of additional
mail facilities to strike aud to make
known their . wants ' to our - Representa
tive. '
I Murder Will out. r
Ben MicAlister, an escaped "penitentiary
bird who was arrested by officer Van
Soelen a few days ago I and who was held
for an investigation by Justice Harris,
had a preliminary examination this morn
ing which lasted some three hours. jThe
charge against McAlister is the murder
of Mr. Ben Smith in Lumbertpn, Robe
son county, some four years ago. jjThere
were no eye witnesses to the deed exam
ined, but by Ben McAlister's own con
fessions' to his fellow laborers on board of
a river fiat, which were made in a boast
ing and defiant manner, he 1 let "the j cat
out of the bag," and also acknowledged
his guilt in the killing of a boy in Cum
berland county, some time ago, for
which he was tried,! and con
victed only ot manslaughter.
He was sentenced to the "penn" for a
term of years, from which hei escaped and
has since then foiled the vigilance of ' the
law until a few days; zo. Relative to
the manslaughter of which he was con
victed, he states he killed the mau with a
hatchet, and. then placed the handle in his
victim's hand to create the impression that
the hatchet flew off the handle striking
the man on the head and causing his
death. Ben his at hai command the arts
and wiles of an old offender and laughs
at the charge against him jas simply ab
surb, and says he can prove an alibi if he
is permitted to p ick bis own witnesses.
He was commited to jail to await a trial
atthe next term of Superior Court of Rob
eson Jcoonty which, we think, convenes
on Monday the 25th inst at Lumbertonj
His Honor Judge Eure presiding.
