City Court.
Three little colored boys were the only
prisoners before" Mayor Fishblate 's court
this ; morning and ' these little rogues,
though yourg in years, are old in crime,
two of them being old offenders. Their
names are Robert Stevensou, Mike Peden
and George Wilson ; Uhj la3t named two
had . jthe honor to plead the City Court
Bar for the same effence they were arraign
ed for this morning on a previous occa
sion. ! "The defendants were arraigned to
day upon the charge of forcibly entericg-
the shop of Parish Wood, ou Front street,"
yesterday (Sunday) j afternoon about four
o'clock. Robert Stevenson was seen to
enter the shop through a broken pane ol
glass. Officer G. W.' Davi3 of the police
force, was notified, who came and arrested
the boy before he could make his egress
from the shop. The two other boys were
arrested upon .being accessory before the
fact. It seems from the statement of the
first little rogue, arrested, that the three
have a regular and systematized plan for
robbing houses or shops where they can
get victuals. The policeman did not suc
ceed in arresting Peden and Wilson until
this morning about four o'clock, when he
found them under Parish Wood's shop,
where theyv are in the 'habit of roosting
every night, so they say, upon a bed made
of paper and rags. And according to the
statement of the policeman, it was not
without some difficulty that they were in
duced; to to leave their bed of paper and
rags. He used a long pole and stirred them
up and frailed about with it underneath
the shop, until the little vilains for their
own safety were compelled to crawl out.
On account of the extreme youth of tho
prisoners the oldest being only twelve
His Honor seemed puzzled to know what
to do with them, but finally ordered that

The Raleigh News s.iy.s : There
has
been very considerable interest excited in
the eastern section. of our St;i!e by the
recent discovery ofjbtds of phosphate on
the farm of a gentleman near . Wi'nung
ton A senm of abou t f ur feet in width
was there found, and has teen tniccd for
more than CO yards. The Phosphate is
considered by competent judges to bo fully
equal to that from the celebrated deposits
near Charleston, S. C. Col. L. L. Polk.
State Commissioner of Agriculture, re
ceived on yesterday specimens of the find,
for analysis. Accompanying these was a
letter from the sender, a prominent gentle
man of Wilmmg' on, in which he says:
"Tho discovery of the uiuisu;il!y rich
deposits of j green sand, and a conglom
erate of coprolites andphosphatic nodules,
has excited general attention. To-day,
accompanied by a number of gentlemen
from this city, l visited the place of dis
covery, where I obtained the specimens
sent you. I am satisfied thai they will be
found useful for application to lands in
their vicinity, and may probably admit of
transportation. Prof. Ravecel, of Charles
ton, claims to have realized wonderful re
sults from a combination ! of one-third
barrel! marl, one third ground phosphate,
and one-third ground sulpher pyrites. If
he is correct, this deposit may prove to
lack only the pyrites to make it very
valuable, and they can be easily obtain"
i -
ed." !
The specimens will be at once ana
lysed.and it ishoped will prove as rich as
expected, thus adding
resources.

The chief claim for support and pat
ronage by some of the manufacturers of
Baking Powder in this country, seems to
be based on the idea of always villifying
and traducing the character and quality
of the goods of other manufacturers, j "Our
goods, or none," is their motto. ' The
manufacturers of Dooley's Yeast Pow
der set up no such arbitrary claim; but
they do claim to produce an absolutely
pure, wholesome, and, in every way, per
fect Baking Powder. Beside which, it is
strictly full weight.

Dear Review:
There is but little of Laurinburg to
day to remind one of jt before the confla
gration, some eighteen months ago, which
destroyed the Railroad depot and freight
building" and the business portion of the
town. -Twelve or thirteen neat two story
frame buildings have been and are now
Pbeing erected which in size and looks arc
a great improvement over those which
were destroyed. Mr. T. C. Bundy is
running a hotel, near the site of ths old
one, and is giving satisfaction to travelers.
He sets a nice table and docs every thing
in his power for the comfort of his'guests.
In walking through the railroad chops' I
saw several Wilmingtonians who seemed
to be happy and prosperous and wb9 ex
pressed themselves well pleased with their
new homes. The hand fire engine If'tY
lard which was bought by the town
authorities of this place is now in the yard
of tho railroad company. The Witlard
is to receive the repairs needed and a com
pany will be organized in tho shops to
man her. A handsome parlor car is
being built in the par shop 'and--, when
completed will be u perfect beauty. 1
could not ascertain between what points
the car would, be run bui know that it will
not be put on the lino between Wilming
ton and Charlotte. An! engine has re
cently been built in' the shops and named
for Oapt. V. Q. Johnson, the Superinten
dent of the road. The engine was built
for use and not for sale and is looked Upon
as a very fine one. Large substantial box
cars arc being turned out the shops almost
diily; ' ' - .
All alung the line of the road I noticed
what seemed to me to be immense quails
tities of different brands of guanos. One
can easily tell long before he sees it that
"the thing is thar and no mistake." Busi
ness at the towns where I stopped is very
quiet and every onci is complaining of
t.ard times. One thing I have noticed,
very much to my surprise, that for most
of the necessaries of life a higher price is
asked than is charged for the.samc articles
in Wilmington; eggs are held at ten to
twelve and one half cents per dozen, and
dry salt meats from ten to twelve and one
half cents per pound, calico is sold for
four and rive cents per yard ; higher than
iu Wilmington and the same is the case
with other 'goods. - 1
Quite ,a j heavy rain, accompanied by
severe thunder and lightning, passed over
Robeson aijid Richmond counties a few
days ago, which was very grateful to
vegetation and seems to have put all the
farmers in good humor, at least it put
most of them- at work planting and
ploughing.
