No 1., will celebrate their anniversary on Friday next, the 22dj iust. It is in contemplation, we understand, to have on that occasion a thorough test ol the steamer and the activity of the members of the Company in regard; to the time it will require to arrive at a given point jind put out a stream of water. - The Feast of Tnrlm. i lesterday was known as the feast of Purim or of Lots, instituted to com membrate the deliverance of j tho Jews from the machinations ofllaman. "Where fore," we read in Esther ix:2C; "they called these days Purirh after the! name of i j II Pur," that is, the lot, .which Ilaman, the ' -' I1! -' Agagite.the enemy of the Jewsj had cast "to consume them, and to destroy them." . Moffett Bell Punch. As per announcement the Moffett Bell Punch was exhibited by Alderman Foster at the Produce Exchange this toon. The Register was worked theoretically and not practically, that is,'there Were no alcoholic or malt beverages on hand to show the practical working and tne register, was thought by the spectators to be the dryest punch they had seen for some time. ! I The register works on a principal simi lar to that of a gas meter and can register as many as 10,000,000 drinks; far more than is ever sold at any one bar in a year. Its working and mechanism are simple but cannot well be tampered wi ,h without detection. 1 1 "Mr. Foster also exhibited the Parks Coupon system, but in this wc think jwe see a greater opportunity of corruption and fraud than we do in, the Moffett! Bel Punch and if either is I to be adopted in this city we think it would be to the in terest of the honest salesmen to prefer the Bell Punch. , , Simmons, Slocum Sweetnam. This popular troupe will make its first appearance in our city on 'Friday evening1. It is now returning froji one of the most suc cessful tours through the South ever made by any minstrel party. We'dipthe following from the Louisville youricr- Journal ; , "The Simmons, Slocum 'j& Sweetnam's Minstrel troupe gave an excellent entertain ment last night to a crowded house at Liberty Hall. The programme contained new and original; selections!; ; when old points were used they were given a new turn. Even the farce was enlivened! by a new feature in the way of a watch ! dog, who gave practical demonstration in' any thing but a tame style of the approved canine Wthod of handling the tramp. While Lew Simmons was amusing, and Goss and Fox very comical with tricks of their own, Billy Sweetnam, in his original specialties, is immense. His 4uiet humor in his dissertations on affairs, and in the narration of some remarkable exper ence kept the audience in a continued laughter He.is really very original,1 and; j there is as much true humor about his productions as anything that is laughed over In piint or public entertainments ot the dayl The sonqs aiaiogues ana ciioruses; are good.

They are from Charleston, Savan nah and Doints in Florida and all go to that greedy comorant, the North, where there are lots of people whose appetites never outstrip their pockets, j They don't stop here; they wouldn't be healthy at the present prices. Of Great Interest. i The following, pabliahed in the YDrych of Utica, N. Y.. is of such gaaeral inter i r - est in every locality, that we make no apology to our readers for reproducing it here : j - Cyhoeddwyd yn benderfynol-yn ddio weddar fod y bachgen coilcdig Charli- Ross, yr hwn a ladratawyd o Philadel phia, -flvnyddoedd yn ol, wedi el ddar- ganfod yn grwydryn yn un o'r Ynyaon edd Gorllewinol.

Lippincott's Magazine for April is full of lighi and readable matter. Robert A. Mc Leod writes graphically of Italian Lakes, Garda, Coino, Maggibre, etc., and Olive Logan gives a sparkling description of scenery and manners in Norway. Both papers are profusely illustrated, and present together a vivid notion of the contrast be tween northern and southern Europe. "The Home of the Jaguar," by Dr. Felix L. Oswald, brings us to one of the most striking regions ou our own continent, the pathless swamps and thickets of Yucatan where the king of American beasts has his lair ; the author is well acquainted with the ground, and gives many anecdotes il. ustrative ol the strength and ferocity of the jaguar. "Recollections of Edward L. Davenport," the tragedian, is by Henry P Goddard, and "Home Harmonies," giving hints to amateur quartet players and do mestic performers generally, by S. Austen Pearce, Doctor of Music and Professor of the Art at Columbia College. Dr. S. Weir Mitchell begins a story (in three parts) of Quaker life in old Phila delphia,entitled(Hephzibah Guinness," and there are several other stories in the num. ber, all well written and entertaining. The poetry is by Pual H. Hayne, Sidney La nier, and Philip Bourke Marston, and the "Gossip" is unusually full, comprising pa pers on Russian Proverbs, Portable Furni ture, Dusseldorf Street Life, and other topics. ! Marriage Anniversaries. At the end of the first year comes the cotton wedding ; at two years comes the paper; at three, the. leather; at the close1 of five comes the wooden ; at the seventh anniversary the friends assemble at the woolen, and at ten comes the tin. At twelve years the silk and fine linen ; at fifteen the crystal wedding. At twenty, the friends gather with their china, and at twenty-five tbe married couple who have been true to their vows for a quarter of a century are rewarded with silver, gifts of esteem that become rapidly more valuable. When the thirtieth anniversary is reached they are presented with pearls ; at the fortieth come the rubies ; and at the fiftieth comes the glorious golden wedding. Beyond that time the aged couple are allowed to enjoy their many gifts in peace. If, however, by any pos sibility, they should reach the seventy fifth anniversary, they are presented with the rarest gifts to be obtained, at the cele bration of their diamond weddin i rr j Consumption Cared. 'An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy, for the speedy and permanent cure of consumption, bronchitis, catarrh, asthma, and 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 in though ands of cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his Buffering fellows. Ac tuated by this motive, and a desire to re lieve human suffering, I wUl send, free of charge, to all "who desire it, this recipe in German, French, or English, with full directions for preparing and using.

While tho Bell Punch was being exhi bited by Mr. Foster this morning we overheard a young man .giving vent j to his displeasure at the idea of the adoption of the "dam thing" and was very severe iu his strictures upon Dr. Moffett, the inventor, and Mr. Foster 'because he thought his name twould be registered every time he tookja drink. As soon as he understood the merits of tha Punch be stepped across to Deumelandt's and smiled. A Freak in Fashion. Young ladies in white, provided it is not satin, when they wear neither flowers nor ornaments, are held to be in very deep mourning, says an English authority. The utmost allowed them in " giving a piquancy to their coiffures is a low of white satin ia the hair. Aj. matron, alter the acute stago of sorrow has been got through, can appear in society in white silk or tulle, and pearl, diamond or jet ornaments. It is only bourgeoises, ignoj rant of delicate distinction of courtly eti quette, who assume purple and violet in the half mourning period. From Masonboro to New River. Some time ago a survey was made by the United States Government for an in land water route from New River to this city, and an unfavorable report was made by the Engineer in charge of the work ou ihe ground that a canoe could not then be floated over the! mud flats lying be tween Topsail Sound and New River. Since that time the trip has been made by a gentleman of this city in a fishing skiff, and a few days ago a sloop drawing over three feet was sailed up through the Sounds; from Masonboro Inlet to New River, jwith little or no trouble. During the equinoctial storm of last fall an inlet near the mud flats was washed through the beach and the water ran through the flats with so much rapidity that most of the mud has been carried off and now the tide ebbs and flows over them.
