It has been suggested that as the own ers of yachts have consented to bring their yachts from the sounds in order that the citizens of the city can witness at least a couple of races, that special prizes be offered by the merchants, thereby showing their appreciation of the efforts of the yachtmen to "add to the pleasure aud amusement of the citizens, the ladies particularly. Sew Counterfeits. "Bankers and other money handlers are , warned by the authorities at Washington that dangerous counterfeit $100 notes of the Merchants' National Pank of New Bedford, Mass.; and' on the Second National Bank of Wilkesbarre, Pa., have recently been put in circulation. All notes of the denomination of $100, pur porting to be issued by the banks named, should be refused, and holders of them should send them to the Treasury Depart ment at Washington, for redemption. A $100 counterfeit on the National Revere Bank of Boston,. has also made its ap pearance. ' Is the Strawberry Wholesome? An exchange says : Some people can digest anything. The ostrich enjoys iron spikes and barrel hoops. Strawberries to the great majority of people are certainly wholesome, or at least not directly injuri ous ; but that they are universally whole some and unequalled by any other fruit, as i3 claimed, we deny. Many people cannot eat. them at aM. We do not allude only to persons liable to attacks of gout or skin diseases, to whom strawberries are almost poisonous ; but to those who are in the enjoyment of general good health. They seem to affect the tissues and excite the blood, producing pimples, blotches and even boiis. t We saw a young lady, a belle, at a fashionable watering-place, three or four years ago, who was obliged, much to r discomfiture, to confine herself to her m for ten days from eating a plate, of strawberries in the evening. And we have known of many others who were forced to abstain from their enjoyment altogether for the same reason. - Lippincott's Magazine- "Easter on tho Riviera" is the titje of the opening paper of Lippincott's Maga zine for June, and invites the reader to join in the holiday excursion of a Lon don barrister and an Oxford professor among the bewitching scenery and famous watering-places of the Maritime Alps, of which glimpses aro given in the illustra tions. ."The Four-in-Hand, and Glances at the Literature of Coaching" recalls the modes of travelling of a. by-gone dayj apropos of the recent trip to Philadelphia of the New York Coaching Club, with illustrations depicting the different styles of equipages, from the stato carriage of Queen Elizabeth to the "drags" driven by Colonel Jay and other members of the club. j Edward King has a second article on Roumania, full of graphic sketches and interesting details.

Reyiew. FRIDAY, MAY 17, Raleigh Observer. Death of TVilllam A. Wright, Esq. - To-day North Carolina mourns the loss of one of her best beloved and most dis tinguished sons. We learn by telegraph that WUliara Augustus Wright, of Wil mington, died at his home of pneumonia yesterday morning at 10 J o'clock. Mr.' Wright was the third son of Joshua G. Wright, Judge of the Court of Con ference ii. 1808, and Suan Bradley, his w'fe, and the grandson of Joshua Grain ger, one of the original settlers of Wil mington, anu aistinguisned in its eany annals. He was born on the first of March. 1807. . - In 1825, at the early age of eighteen, Mr. Wright graduated with honor at the University of North Carolina, and began the study of law immediately thereafter and continued in the successful and hon orable practice of his profession until his death. At an early age he mairied Ann Eliza, daughter of -William Hill, who survives him with two married daughters and a Bon. With the exception of serving the peo ple of bis native county as one oi' the del egates from New Hanover in ihe State Convention called by President Johnson for the purpose of restoring North Caroli na to the Union in 1865, Mr. Wright never entered public life, but rather shun ned it, devoting his time entirely to his profession, and to the material advance ment of his section and State. lie. how ever, occupied a leading position in the "Reconstruction Convection," and left the impress of his mind and labors upon the legislation of that body. Mr. Wright very early idci.tified him self with works of internal improvement in the State, especially; those concentra ting at Wilmington, and did more, probably, than any other man to inaugu rate and push to completion the great lines of railway which now add so much to Ihe growth and commercial importance of his native city. lie was one of the original corporators of the Wilmington & Raleigh, now Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, aud was elected a Director of that Company in 1836, upon its organiza tion, and remained in continuous service as such until the day of his death. Dur ing most of the time, he was also its at torney. He was at the time of his death the oldest Railroad Director, in continu ous service, in the United States, and his position has been recognized by leading Railroad official! in numberless courtesies of no insignificant character frequently tendered him. In 1832, at a social gathering in one of the hospitable mansions of the little borough of Wilmington, Edward B. Dud ley, James Owen, Alexander , McRae, P. K. Dickinson, Drs. A. J. DeRosset, father and son, Dr;, James F. McRee. William B. Meares, L. H. Marsteller, the Hills, Robert II. Cowan, the brothers Thomas H. and William A. Wright, and other leading citizens, pledged each othec over a glass of wine that their town should be connected by rail with other sections'of the State, and in less than forty-eight hours after the pledge was given the citi zens of Wilmington had subscribed more money to the proposed-railroad, by many thousands of dollars, than the entire taxable property ot the town amounted to ! , From this beginning the Wilming ton and Weldon Railroad was completed to Weldon, a distance of one hundred and sixty-two miles, in March, 1840, and was, when completed, the longest railroad in the world, and remained so for seven years, when the Emperor of Russia built one which exceeded it in length. Mr. Wright thus early and actively enlisted in the material well being of his State, and no man has more thoroughly identified himself with every public enter prise IjOoking to its advancement. . He was for many years a Director and the Attorney of the. Bank of Cape Fear, and was its President in closing up its affairs after the. war. Much of tho prosperity and the wide-spread confidence in that in stitution, extending to the very confines of the country, was owing to his intelligent Land conservative influence in its manage- For several years previous to the war, Mr. Wright occupied the positiop of Pre siding Justice of the County Court of New Hanover,- giving the people the benefit cf his great legal learning and mature judg ment. Indeed, in many counties of North Carolina at that time, the presiding officers of these "courts of the people" were among the most learned lawyers and exalt ed citizens of the the State. Judge Rufiin in Alamance, Judge Badger inj Wake, Willie P. Mangun in Orange, Governor Qlark in Edgecombe, Thom as P. Deve reux in Halifax, William A. Vright in New Hanover, gave character and value to a tribunal which'will long remain among the mostcblerisbed memories of the State's history. I . As eminent a3 Mr. Wright was as a lawyer, as enterprising, useful, and unsel fish as he Was as a citizen, in the domestic and social circle his loss will be mo3t se verely felt. The husband, father and friend were the crowning relations of his life. No one was more kind, . ncjne more thoughtful of the happiness of others, none mora he sptiable and genial. W.rm in his welcome and bountiful In his cheer, his homes in Wilmington and atrtbe Sound were the scenes of many of those social gatherings which havo made that city and section famous for its hospitality. iWhile we shall not attempt to intrude upon the grief around the family altar, we desire only .to par the homage due to a distinguished citizen of the State, and place upon bis bier a slight tribute to our friend as well. There is a tidy in the affairs of women. 1878. NO. 92 Death of Capt. DeRosset. It is with feelings of great sorrow that we announce this afternoon that Capt. Thos. J. DeRosset is dead. He died quietlv and peacefully at 4 o'clock, this p. in., and passed away like a tired child, who falls asleep in its mother's arms. His end was calm as his life has been pure, and we f- el that he is now safe in Paradise, just where Lazarus rested. He is not dead , but steerxtb ! His epitaph is written in one line : "God loved him and took hiiuV' Cotton on Fire Just as we were closing the alarm of fire was sounded.- It .caught in some cotton standing on the wharf in front of this office.
