The meeting of the members of the Produce Exchange, Chamber of Com- merce, and Board Trade of this city, which was to have taken plap at noon today was postpone! untill to-morrow the 18th inst at 12 o'clock, pending! some com promise measures which it I is thought may be effected between 1 the , Telegraph Company, and the commercial commuitiy that are affected by the advance of the Western UnionCompany's! rates.

DA ,1 Anniversary Preparations. At a meeting of the members oj Wil mington Ilook & Ladder Co. No 1., held last evening, the matter of a proper cele bration; of the anniversary of the Com pany, which falls due on Tuesday, May jth, was introduced Jand discussed and Messrs. T. G. Pickett. J. II. Daniel and i V. J. Gordon were appointed a Commit tee to solicit and collect subscriptions and make the necessary preparations for the celebration, to report at a meeting 1 of the i I it Company to be held next Tuesday even In Bridge Builder. We learn from the Charlotte Observer. that Mr. Thos W. Whisnant, son oTP.S. Whisnant. Esq.i formerly of that city, has been ; appointed bridge-builder of I the Carolina Central Railway Company to succeed Mr. J. R. Hawkins, who received fatal injuries on that road f a short time ago. The Observer tuinKs that this ap pointment is most worthily bestowed. Mr. Whisnant is an intelligent young mechanic, a competent and experienced bridge builder, and a young man of ex cellent character and habits. Testing the New Bridge. The following interesting Item, relative to the new bridge at Weldon, recently erected by the Seaboard & Roanoke R. R., we find in the Petersburg Index-Appeal : On Fiiday last the strength of the new iron bridge, recently built over the Roan oke river, near Weldon, on the Seabord & Roanoke railroad, was tested in such a manner as to , leave no ooudl mat me structure is a very strong aid secure one, as well as ornamental to the road. The testing of the strength of the bridge was made by 'ranuing of three locomotives, with tenders attached, weighing in the aggregate three hundred thousand pounds, safely across it. When these locomotives first passed ever the bridge the - speed made was about four miles per hour, and on their return to Weldon the time made was at the rate of twenty miles anhour. The locomotives, which belonged to the Seaboard & Roanoke road, and which were coupled together, extended exactly the length of one span of the bridge. Workmen are now engaged in doing the masonry work for the erection ot another span of the bridge on this side of the Roan oke. ' , i ' Business to be Suspended. The banks ot the city have advertised that their doors will be closed to business 6n Good Friday, the lQth inst. This, together with the fact that the Produce Exchange this morning held a meeting and i decided to close the Ex change on that day, implies that business will be entirely suspended from Thursday, night the 18th instant until Saturday morning the 20tb, i. e. so far as Water street is concerned. i ' 1 f A great many of our up-town merchants also will," wo presume, jdllow the custom they established for themselves last year, and again close their places of busines on this annivers'ary of the solmn event we all commemorate. City Court fcBuck Hill, colored, was arraigned on complaint of Jno. C. Heyer, Esq., , in that the defendant was ordered out of com plainant's store and refused to go until he got ready. His Honor fined the defendant $5 and costs. Joseph Gause, colored, charged with disorderly conduct and , refusing to obey the policeman on duty when spoken to, was dismissed on paymemVof costs and admonished by the Mayor as to his con duct in future when an officer of the law addressed him officially. ' Lewis Green, a ' previous attendant at the Mayor's Court, appeared belore Mayor Fishblate this morning for the first time since Mayor F.'s induction into office. Lewis, as usual, was arrested for disorderly conduct, cursing and-sweaiing and threat ening to use his knife on a policeman.1 The Mayor said $5 and costs or five days in City Prison, when Lewis concluded to take the alternative of five days in prison, not from choice, however, but from ne cessity, he not being possessed of the cash amount necessary to secure his release. 1 The case of Elizabeth Chambers, the colored girl arrested yesterday for robbing a little while child of cakes, was continued. Thos. Brown, the half-witted negro who was told yesterday by Mayor Fahblate to leave town, appeared before the bar of the court again to-day. It stems that the prisoner, in pursuance of the orders given him to turn his back upon the city! and get out of the city limits, was ar ested a mile or so out of town by the colored Deputy Sheriff, Dan Howard and one or two others on suspicion and brought into! town again.1 The Mayor dismissed the case and told Brown to move on as he did yesterday.1 Brown said, "Yes, sur," and moved, j 1 This finished the business of the Court lor to-day. - . IFire at Clarkton. Our correspondent in Clarkton sends us an account of a fire which odcurred at that place on Monday night which destroyed a turpentine distillery belonging to Messrs. Clark & Currie. ! The fire oc curred about 12 o'clock at night and is thought to have caught from some dross which had been burning at the still yard the previous ', alternoon. The distillery was first found to be on fire and from this the flames spread to the spirits shed near at hand, and scon both were destroyed. At one time the railroad warehouse was threatened but fortunately the wind was' not blowing in that direction and it was saved. Had this taken fire the llames would almost certainly have spread to Messrs. Clark & Currie's large store house and the disaster would have. been a" very serious one. As it was the loss is sup posed to have been in the neighborhood of $500 and there aremanj- hearty thanks that it was no more. The distillery was not insured. ' t- , Fashion Dots. i The bouquet embroidered gloves are novel. I Cameos are .h-cidedly fashionable, in jewelry. ( 1 "Cardinal capes are among iht- n spring wraps. Silver and mouse grey sha.!ts pievail in kid gloves. Pretty new fans are of lussiie bamboo hand painted. 1 i 1 11 Butterflies are among the new orna ments for spring hats. The street hat should be datk and to a certain extent r lain. 1 , , Dresses are trimmed of double pipings of contrasting colois. Lovely spring prints are selling rs low as cents per yard. 41 Plaited skirts Lave decp.yikes, which gives a splendid appearance. Basques, entirely covered with flowers, are in vogue tor evening toilets. Cream color and greenish, gray are tthe popular tints in linen dress goods. Misses' parasols are of small size in the design and colors used for la'd'es. . All straw hats and bonnets , are piinci- pally restricted to the dark colors. Byron collars and culls in guipure lace. for the ladies, are among the latest. Yokes and plaited and gathered waists are very becoming to tall, slender women. i Appleton's Journal i i For May has several papers of special interest. ' The first is an elaborately-illustrated article on "Rapid Transit in New York," which gives views of the elevated roads now nearing completion, describes and illustrates the method of1 constructing the, Gilbert road, and, includes engravings of the various plans for transit that have been proposed, thus affording a oomplete pictorial history of the subject. It is a paper that will be read everywhere with interest, inasmuch as elevated railways in cities are an experiment that is watched in all parts of the country with close at tention. The second article of special in terest is a collection of hitherto unpub lished correspondence by Edgar A . Poe, gathered from original sources by J. H. Ingram, the English biographer) of the poet. The letters were written, in the last three years of the poet's lile, and throw a new light upon a part of the poet's career never hitherto explored, viz., his relations with three high-minded women, around whoso names the documents naturally group themselves. Julian Hawthorne has the first part of a striking novelette, entitled "Mrs. Gainsborough's Diamonds Dr Guernsey gives a graphic description of the African king, Mtesa, whom Stanley affirms he converted to Christianity;(Lucy Hooper writes from) Paris a description of some of the more important French pic tures designed for the Paris Exposition ; Nora Perry has a short story, "For Love of Her there is a paper on "Real and Ideal Houscsi in which' the bric a-brac mania is well hit ; and the editorial and book departments are not less interesting than usual.

SHEW. 17, 1878. NO. 07 Sad Accident. We regret to learn that a little child' daughter of Col. Roger Moore, seme '.en or twelve years , of age, met with quite a se rious accident last night by the capsizing oi a kerosene oil lamp, by which the child was seriously burned and also! , her father. It seems that two or three children were seated around a , table , with a lamp iipon it, playing at some game, when one oi tne Jittie ones jumped up rather sud denly and jarred the table so much that it caused the lamp to capsize and the oil I to ignite, from which the little girl's clothes caught on fire. The ' child immediately screamed and her father, who was upstahs at the time, rushed down stairs' Jiud seizing his child threw her on the floor and extin guished the flames with his I hands, whkh were quite severely burned in the effort. The littlej gill, wc understand, though su tiering a good deal, is riot dangerously injured; her face and neck cspaped .the lire, but her hands and other portions of her body were seriously burned., i 1 1 j For the Review. I Burlaw Academy. Ali the friends of education and ad vocates of a first-class school in Pender are specially invited to lend us their aid and contribute in a small way to the noble cause. It has been decided by the Com mittee of Arrangements' to hold a festival on the first day of May, at Burgaw, the proceeds of which aer to be appropriated to the Academy. It will po seen that on the same day and place there will be a Rail Road meeting. We appeal to' the gener osity of all and particularly the good ladies of Pender to cook up something good to the taste and bring it out and present it as a token of their high appre ciation of education. 1 1 ! The Academy is now, in progress of construction and we lack means for its completion and have adopted this plan! to assist us in the great cause, Those who contribute and all who would wish to have a nice time generally would do well to be present on the occasion as a larfe crowd is expected from Wilmington and elsewhere. A band of music will be in attendance, therefore the gay and frolic some may exercise their own taste in amusement. -Managers Mrs. G. F. Walker, Mrs. N.H. Lindsay, Mrs. J II. Teinken, Mrs. E. R.
