C, SATURDAY, APRIL The August Elections. The Raleish ATeica tells us that Con stables are not to be elected at the August election . The Democratic Executive Committee was in error in so stating' The Committee neglected to mention Superior Court Clerks as among tbe ofiicers to be then elected. i Good Friday. The day was very generally observed here by a suspension of business and attention to religious dqes.

We hope to see the day yet when this anniversary ot the crucinxion oi our Saviour will be devoutly observed by all. . Unmailable Letters. 'The following is a list of uomailible letters remaining in the Postoffice at this place : John Stocks, Molvel Point, N C; Dr J W Denby, Fetville, N C; Ben Allison, care of J W Russell, Savannah, Ga; Mr McDowell, Flemington, N C; B F New comer. Baltimore. Md: Ashle Pas:e: Rev j j V- ' J M Brown. For Congress. J The list of candidates who are willing to sink I all private considerations and serve this district in Congress swells rapidly each day and j surmises and speculations thereon are abroad in tha land. . In addi tion to Col. Waddell and Maj.j Stedman, from this county, we hear spoken of Maj. McClammy, of Pender ; Mr. Scott, of Ons low ; Col. Allen, of Duplin; John W. Ellis, of Columbus, and Maj. McRae and W. C. Troy, of Cumberland- There are some others-Out in the woods who haven come in yet, but who will doubtless be heard from within the next few weeks. City Court. Three colored youths, just merging into manhood were brought before the Mayor this morning on the charge of disorderly conduct Thursday night over in Brook lyn. ; j Officers Allen and G W. Davis made the arrest and testified in substance, that their attention was attracted on the night above mentioned by very loud cursing and swearing and on proceeding to Nixon street between Eighth and Mintb, they found the disturbance was occasioned by three youths who were cursing some man because he had requested them not to make so much noise, "as there was a sick woman in this house.'' The officers of course promptly made the arrest and the Mayor very properly and promptly pro nounced sentence against them often dol lars or ten day's, for the most disorderly one, five dollars or five days, for another, and one day's confinement in the city prison, for the third one, who was found with a razor -in his pocket. This Con cluded the Mayor's levee for the day. The Spring Bonnet- Lucy III Hooper, writing at Paris, thus deseribes the new spring bonnets: The i . new spring bonnets for the coming sea son have made their' appearance in the show rooms of some of the more enter prising of the fashionable milliners. These very early blossoms of the spring fash ions are of course intended for the foreign trade, but are none the less tasteful and elegant. Straw is to be the reigning ma- tcrial, and feathers, flowers ' and ribbons are all to be employed in trimming; some times all three are on a single bonnet. The shapes are very graceful, being small and close with set crowns, a trimming of silk or flowers inside the brim, and in many instances narrow strings to tie un der, the chin. Fringes of drooping flow ers will be much used, but white lilacs and other graceful blossoms will also be worn. Satin ribbon is much in favor for trimmings and strings. For elderly la dies, bonnets ' of black jet, embroidered very finely with smal beads of cut jet, are shown; they are arranged with a diadem front of cut jet with jet fringe to fall over the hair, and with strings of black net, edged with lace and clasped with a small sprig in a cut jet. Delicious Cookery The most delicious, light, I white and wholesome biscuits, rolls, muffins, waffles, cornbread, cake, etc., are possible U every' table by using the celebrated Dooleys Yeast Powder. It is absolutely pure' and will go much further in use than other kinds of baking powder. It. is im possible to fail with it in baking. Ask yoa grocer for it, and do not be . put off with any other. MM Fight With an Alligator. A day or two since two "colored hands employed at Messrs. Northrop 1 & Cum mings steam saw mill, in the lower part of the city, crossed over to the timber pen on the opposite side of the river, to get some logs which were reauired at tke mill. They had not more than set foot upon the timber when a large alligator emerged from the water and crawling upon the logs advanced upon the men. They retreated but his alligafcorship con tinued to advance and finally they were compelled to accept the gauge i of battle, and a fierce fight ensued when the amphib ious monster was finally' killed. We tell it as it was told to us. . I The; Date of Easter. Sunday, falling on April 21, is considered late this year, and it . is thir teen days after the mean date, but it is to remarked that in no year since the intro duction of the Gregorian Calendar into England has the festival occurred on the latest possible date, April 25, though in two years, 1761 and 1818, it fell on March 22, which is the other limit. In 1886 Easter Sunday will fall on April 25, in the new or Gregorian style, for the first time since the year 1734, or eighteen years befora this style was accepted in England. The only other occasion since the reformation of the calendar by Pope Gregory XIII, upon which Easter has fallen on the latest possible date, was in 1666 and after 1886 thi3 will not again occur until 1943. I A Not Very Odiouss Comparison. There are few housekeepers but have remarked the steady and rapid decline of meats of late but not many have stopped toinake a comparison and thus ascertain what is the actual shrinkage. It is really startling to know j that meats Have de clined from 33 to 60 per cent during the past three years, yet such is the fact. We have been at some pains to get to gether the figures necessary tp demoJ strate this and present them herewith to our readers. They are taken from- the books of a provision broker and are there fore undeniably accurate. We compare the market as it stood May 1st, 1875, andas: it stands to-day, April 20th, 1878: !

On Monday next Mr. W. T. Johnson will leave the city for a visit ito other points in this state where he will exhibit the benefits of the Shelton Renovator. We commend him to our people every where. The renovator is no humbug and will do everything that is claimed for it as scores of the most respectable people in tnis city can testify., Tbe business in this city will be conducted, as usual. during his absence, by Mr. Thomas J. Political Gossip. 1 f There is considerable excitement and stir how in the Republican camp relative to nominations for "orfice" and not only he woods but the streets and alleys and sometimes the back yards, are full of them. We hear of a few of tbe most prominent "asperrunts," chief among which may be mentioned F. W. Fester, V. II. Moore and J. C. Hill, for the Senate, Benj. Scott and E. D. Hewlett, (present incumbent) for Coroner, and Manning (present incumbent), Dcctor, II. E, Scott and Duncan Holmes, for Sheriff. As for the House it is said that every other ''fire tried" you stumble across wants to go " thar" and we therefore mention no names simply from an appreciable want of ability to do justice to the subject, i Hotel Arrivals.
