II. Hovv old and resnected citizen of this There seem-to be but slight, if any. hopes of Mr. Howey's rccove'ry, but we trust the fears of his friends are somewhat ex aggerated. p. S. Just before going to press we are sorry to learn that' Mr, Howey died this atternoon about 4 o'clock. From an Infected Port. Capt. Latham, of. the steamer J. s. Underhill, wbicb arrived here last evening, reports that the barque Violette, 30 days out from Rio de Janeiro, arrived in below yesterday morning at the Quarantine Grounds. She lost two men out on the passage here from yellow fever. Dr. W. G. Curtis, Quarantine Thysician, boarded her and the necessary precautions, will all be taken, although there 'could be no dan ger in any case at this season of the year. The present crew of the vessel are all well. More Money Hunters. A few days ago, while officer VanSoelen was in the woods near this city, hunting for five runaway sailors,) he came across a newly dug hole in the eastern edge, of the park at" Hilton, which attracted his atten tion. Instead of finding any 'ekie io the objects of his tear-ebjhe discovered the bones and skulls'of-persons who had evi dently been dead "a long time, and who had recently been exhumed, but for what purpose it is hard to say. J Around the newly dug hole was a circle of yellow powder, which, resembled put verized sulphur, and it is thought that the powder was phosphorus, there in the night in order and was placed ithat the diggers could see by the glow of the phosphorus, but this is hardly possible as the phospho rus is very expensive and would npt have been so lavishly used. A ) great many of the colored citizens of this Jcity think lhat Wilmington and vicinityVas the place of deposit of the treasures of Captain Kidd and followers, and as (a wild rumor to the effect that money has been found here abouts some time ago has gained some credence among them, we think it is prob able that they were trying fa unearth the treasures of the dead Kidd'. The plai where the hole is dug was an old negro burying ground in the good old days of yore. I Consumption Cured. ; An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionaryj the . formula lof a simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure of consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma,land all throat and lung affections, also a ' positive and radical cure for nervous debility -and all nervous complaints, after' having tested its wonderful curative powers iu (thous ands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suffering fellows. Ac-, tuated by this motive, and a desire to re lieve human suffering, I wll send, free of charge, to all who desire it, Jhis recipe in German, French, or English, with full directions for preparing and using. Sent by mail, by addressing with Istarapl, nam ing this paper, W; Wl Sherar, 126 Pow ers' Block, Rochester, N-Y. i . i 4w. To an already well established reputa tiou, are constantly added the wannest praises of . travellers who have enioved the hospitalities of the Grand Ceutral Hotel, Quaranitne. Would it not be well for the Board of Aldermen to begin to take into j con sideration now, the matter of quarantine for this port next summer ? We suggest now, because already there has jbeen one vessel from an infected port reported in below, and we recollect and we presume the Board of Alderman will remember also, that exceptions were taken to their action last summer, because we believe tha? vessels frpm the ports where such strict quarantine regulations were . to be enforced upon , had already been chartered by parties here, and the vessels cleared for this port. Under these circumstances it did seem that the action of the Board ' i of Aldermen bore rather hard upon! the charter parties here when they under took to amend their previous , quarantin regulations by imposing greater restric tions upon vessels that had already set sail for Wilmington. But if the Board o'f Aldermen shall in their wisdom now see proper to enact any very stringent laws in regard to the quarantine regulations for next summer, we do not see that the same plea can be urged against the enforcement of such a law as was pleaded by charter parties last summer, i. e. we mean that parties who charter vessels from infected ports on account Of the low rates offered will do so with a full knowledge of the detentions that such have to suffer. vessels wil Supreme Court Decisions. We clip from the Raleigh Observer the following digests of opinions delivered in the Supreme Court on Monday, of in terest in this section : Gully vs. Barden et al., from Sampson Venire de novo : " The defendants were principals and sureties on a bond to the plaintiut for the sale of the Howe sewing machine, and this is a suit upon the bond to recover the money balance due for the machines sold and the contract price for the ma chines he, the plaintiff, had refused to take back.. The Court instructed the jury that the defendants had undertaken to deliver the machines is as good condition as when received by them, and if the jury should find that they were in such bad condition that they , could not be so de livered, the plaintiff would be entitled to recover the value of the machines and fixtures. . . I " Held, Error. The defendants are but bailees, and, until a sle, the property is in the plaintiff ; that the measure of the plaintiff's damages in regard to the unde livered machines is the difference of their value, estimated upon the basis of the contract price, and their condition when defendant offered to return them.. j J Brunhild vs. Freeman et. al., from New Hanover. Venire de novo: The defendant executed to one Meyer eight notes, which were passed before they were due to the plaintiffs to secure a debt. The defendant then executed to the plaintiff four notes which lie alleges were in satisfaction of the old eight, which were to be delivered to him. The plaintiffs say the new: notes were not given in ful 11 satisfaction oi tne old ones, nut in satis faction of the plaintiffs debt against Meyer, with an understanding "that the amount of the new notes was to be credit ed on the old ones. The juryfound for the defendant. Held That His Honor erred in failing to place before the jury, with proper in structions as to its effect, the fact which was testified to by the parties and wit nesses on both sides, that after the plain tiff gavp the old notes back to Meyer, the defendant (Meyer) made a new ar rangement concerning the old notes, and that they went together to the plaintiff and all the old notes were destroyed by consent. . j Williams vs. Wallace et al., from Du plin. Judgment affirmed. This was a case of a disputed title. It is admitted that the title to the locus in quo was in the defendant in 1854.' The Slaintiff claims under the deed of one avis, who purported to sell the land as administrator, by deed dated 28th Sep tember, 1857. This title was a defective one, but could ripen into a good one by an adverse possession of seven years. This action was commenced on the 4th of February, 1873. i Held, No length of constructive pos session will ripen a defective title into a good one, and there being no evidence that the plaintiff, nor those under whom he claimed, ever had actual possession of the land in dispute for any length of time, the defendant is entitled to ins juament.

CoI.Waddell and the Mall Service i I We call the attention of our faithful Representative in Congress to the comma nication below from leadinc citizens of Pender and Onslow The Mail Service asked for is much neededj as we hear from various quarters. Col. Waddell is working hard for his constituents. We assure him that a semi-weekly mail between the Court House of Pender and the Court House ol Onslow is much needed. Its establish ment will be a suitable, forerunner to the strong movement that will most probably succeed of uniting, at no distant day, Burgaw and Jacksonville 'by railroad. The men who had. the pluck to establish a new county, to select a new county site, are the men not likely to fail in efforts to unite Pender and Onslow with the iron bands of a railroad. The following com munication has just been received by us : (Angola Bay, March 11th, 1878. To the Editor of the Review : Dear Sib : Hease permit us to say through you to our talented Member of Congress, Col. Waddell, that the people of renuer ana unsiow are anxious to see es tablished a semi-weekly mail between Burgaw and Jacksonville. The Postoffice here is called Angola, and is on the road from Burgaw to the Court House ot Ons low county. The mail comes here weekly from Burgaw. Now, we ask Col. Waddell to have established such additional mail service as will amount to a semi-weekly mail between Burgaw and Jacksonville. His efforts can secure it. Our people are in much need of these additional mail facili ties. They have already been too long without them. This is a day of light and knowledge, and of progress, and the mails as well as the railroads, are necessary in strumentalities for improvement. Give us this new mail' route, Colonel Waddell, and you will add to the appreciation of the people of these two counties of your devotion to the interests of your Congres sional District.
