The mate rials for such overdesses1 arc damasks of most indefinite designs and small figures; Lou'sine silks of quaintly ! combined colors, with each thread of different hue irommai next it; and tbe loose y woven woolen stuffs in less defined pattern than the basket cloths and i diagonal! of last year.

Kijled in a Railroad Accident- This morning a telegram was received by Mr. A.; A. Hartsfield, from the Super inteudent of the Atlanta & Chattanooga R. R., announcing the sudden death of Mr. Jno. W. Hewlett, formerly of this city, and a son-in-law of Mr. Hartsfield. Mr, Hewlett was an engineer, and was at his post when his engine plunged headlong down a washed culvert, killing him in stantly. He leaves a wife and three child ren. His remains will be brought to this City by Mr. R. B. Hartsfield. There were no further particulars conveyed in thefthe guard house. Of the colored males telegram. Ho ! For Burgaw on the First ot May ! The assemblage at Burgaw on Wednes day, May th e 1st., premises to be large. The managers of the festival in aid of Academy there are busy at work. The committee cf arrangements for the rail roadmeetengi have inviteU the1 speakers, and are making other proper arrangements. The invited" speakers are Major Charles W McClammy, of Pender ; James G. Scott, of Onslow ; I Rev. John ; N. Stallings, and John D. Stanford, Esq , of Duplin. These gentlemen are expected to Je present add deliver addresses on the important occa sion The railroads have agreed to carry passengers to and from Burgaw for one fare. I Let us all turn out and have a fine time. I Many will 'be there from Pender and all the surrounding counties. The ladies will be there in large numbers Music and dancing will enliven the day. ! The Fire. f The alarm of fire this noon was caused by the burning of a' lot of loose cotton in Messrs Hayes & Noland's junk shop on South Water street. The cotton was on the second floor, near the front of the building, and the only explanation of its origin is irom the surmise that it caugni from a spark from some passing steamer which was carried into the open window. . The damage to Messrs Hayes & No land's stock by fire and water is estima ted to be about $150, on which there was no insurance. The building is the prop ertv of Mr. Luhr Vollers and is insured in I companies represented by Mr. Nor woiod Giles, sufficient to repair all dam ages caused by the water. The Cape Fear Steam Engine Was first to throw a stream though the Hook & Ladder boys' were at work with buckets when the thrown. ! stream was Onslow Speaks for the acwi Kail Road. 1 The subjoined letter from that able and eloquent gentleman, James G. Scott, Esq., of Onslow, is but a reflection of the sentiments of hiscounty. Tt will be seen that he will address the people at Burgaw on the 1st of May in behalf of a Railroad from there into Onslow, in obedience to an invitation! extended to him. The people of Ons for the rqad. ow are evidently1 anxious They are in much need of such an inlet and outlet. Mr. Scott is verypopular inOnsiow and his pobple doubt less reciprocate the fine sentiments he utters. The two counties will doubtless pull together with entire accord, in behalf of the enterprise. Read the letter : Jacksonville, N. C. V April 19th, 1878. ) Dr. S. S. Satciiwell, Rocky Point. ! $Iy Dear Sir: Your i kind invitation to attend and address a Railroad meeting, at IBurgaw, on the 1st of May, is re ceived. ! It will afford me pleasure to attend on such an occasion, and if I can say any thing 'in favor of the construction of a railroad from the W. & W. RJ R.i to any point in Onslow county, which; would aid in the slightest degree that enterprise, I esteem it a privilege to co-operate by word and act with its friends in Pender. You well know my sympathy with the people of Pender county. I heartily recog nize the importance of entro unanimity of thought and action on the part of both Pender and Onslow counties in this im portant movement. Very truly! yours, ; James G. Scott. Strawberry Short Cake- One quart flour, one teaspoon salt, two teaspoons Dooley's Yeast Powder, three tablespoons butter, one egg, two table spoons white sugar, and about half pint sweet milk. , Sift the flour, powder and sat together; rub in the butter, cold; add the egg slightly "beaten, then the sugar and milk, and mix into a smooth dough, just 'soft enough to be easily handled; roll out in two pieces quite thio, to size re quired; lay one on top of the other and bake in a hot oven, in a well-greased pan, about fifteen minutes, and separate while yet warm not hot. Use one for the bottom crust, cover with a layer of berries, then lay on the other piece and cover !as before. Serve with powdered sugar and cream. The above will make a large cake. half the quantities will make a fair size -one. i Police Report ! In the Police Report at the City, -Hall for the past ten months administration, from June 4th to March 31st. we find (hat the total number of arrests for the f ten months aggregate 1,050 of these C75 are white males, 30 white females, 287 colored males and 58 colored females. But of thei 675 white males 524 applied for and were furnished lodging at the guard house; of the white females 18 ap plied for and were furnished lodging at 75 applied fojand were furnished lodg ing at the guard house, and of the colored females onlv one aDDlied for ' and was furnished lodging at the guard house. The property recovered during these ten months administration and delivered to tne rignttui owners, consisted ot one box of dry good3, one bbl. molasses, one bbl. kerosene oil, one lady's fur muff, one keg, one overcoat, one velocipede and two horses. One single barrel' gun still remains unclaimed, and two bushels of meal and six chickens that no rightful owner could be found! to claim, were turned over by order of the Mayor to the Ladies' Benevolent1 Society. - I In addition to the forejroiua two colored infants (foundlings) were picked up on the streets. There have been eleven jdogs killed by the city authorities two that were mad, one for biting a horse, ' seven for biting persons and one that was in heat. The following is the disposition of pris-k oners who were arrested: ' I DISPOSITION OF PRISONERS.

Murphy, an umbrella and parasol patcher. was arraigned this morning1 for drunkenness. In fact the testimony , ... . - . proved that he was very druns, so drunk that a dray had to be employed to haul him from Brooklyn where be was discovered, lying on the sidewalk, in a beastly state of intoxication, to the guard house. When asked by the Mayor where he hailed from, and what his business was, he promptly replied that he was "from Montgomery, Ala," that he Iwas "an jun brella mender, and only a snort time in the city, i' He admitted that he was very drunk yesterday, but if His! Honor would only let him off this time, he would prom ise that he should'nt be troubled with him again. The Mayor pronounced sentence Of $5 fine or five days in prison, but sub sequently remitted the fine on condition that the defendant would pay for his . ride to the guard house yesterday, and quit the city immediately, which was prompt ly agreed to. And so now the places that have known that umbrella fellow nuisance for the last .week or ten days will know him no more. Exit Murphy, on the Little Bridge Road. Two colored boys, Larry Williams and Benj. Clark, by name, were arrested this morning in the lower part of the city for fighting. Williams was released, and Clark required to pay the costs of the Court. And this ends another chapter of the Mayor's Court for the City bf Wil mington. The patronage -among the 6rst-class hotels in New York is constantly chang ing from one hotel to toe other The Grand Central Hotel' has recently incited the direst wrath of its competitors by offering the same accommodations for one and tw3 dollars per day less than the others. , j What Smoking Does for Boys. A certain doctor, struck, with the large number of boys under fifteen years of age whom he observed smoking, was icd to inquire into the effect.the hakit had upon the general health. Ho took for his pur pose thirty-eight boys, aged from nine to hfteen, and carefully examined them ; in twenty-seven of them he discovered in jurious traces of the habit. In twenty two there were various disorders of' the circulation and digestion, palpitation of the heart and a more or less marked taste for strong drink, uln twelve -there was frequent bleeding of the nose, ten had disturbed sleep and twelve had slight ulceration of the mucpus membrane ol the mouth, which disappeared on ceasing from the use of tobacco for some ays. The doctor treated them all for weakness, but with little effect, until the smoking was discontinued, when health and strength were soon restored. Now, this is no "oldj wife's tale," as theso facts are given on the authority of the British Medical Journal. Political Statistics.
