Extensive arrangements are being made for the anniversary excursion of the Wil mington Light Infantry, given them by the Veteran Corps, which takes place to morrow on the steamer UnderJull.

Murchison, Captain Garrasou, "due here .this morning at 2 o'clock, did not arrive until 1 o'clock to day. We uuderstaud , however, that there have been heavy rains in the up-country recently, which will probably cause a good freshet in a few days. Improvements. Mr. R. B. Wood was engaged to-day in pulling down the old buiding, on the west side of Front, between Market and Piin cess streets, owned by Mr. Donald McRae. A handsome new building with three sto ries and a basement will be erected in a few week, the dimensions of which will be 40 by 85 feet. The new building will be quite an improvement to the street.

Sad Case of Drowning. We regret to have to record the fact of the drowning of Mr, James Divine, which occurred last night about a quarter past twelve o'clock, as near as we can as certain, under the following circum stances: It seems that Mr. Divine and a party of friends, near the hour above stated, proceeded to Market Dock, for the purpose of taking a swim, the deceased remarking on his way down to tfae river, "Well, boys, if you are going to take a swim let's be in a hurry about it, for I promised my .wife to be home between twelve and one o'clock and I know Bhe won't go to bed until come." This would seem to account for 'tlje fact that Mr. Divine was the first in the party to divest himself of his clothing, and make the -first plunge into the water. Just before making the divewhich was his last he is reported to have said: "Well, hpys, here goes if I am about to drown I hope some of you will pull me out." He then made the fatal plunge, and, while under the water, must have drifted under a tlat, for some one heard his head strike tho bottom of the flat as he attempted to rise. But, after thia, he managed to get from under the flat, and was seen floating on his back with his right arm extended out of the water, and immediately afterwards sank to rise no more. Mr. Diviue is reported to have been an excellent swimmer, and no longer than a week ago last Saturday night, is said to have swam across the river on his back ; tor this reason, his companions thought nothing strange when they saw him last night as he emerged from under the flat, floating on his back. : The pnfortunateman leaves a wife and child who reside near Hilton, in this city, to mourn his loss. He was about forty years of age, a bridge-builder by profes sion, and was a native of Ireland. The body has not yet been recovered. ' Familiar In Every Housoiiol4. Dr. K. V. Pierce, the great "medicine man" of Buffalo, is runniug for the office of Senator from that city. He seems to bfi the most popular man on the track, and veil be may be, - for his name is familiar in every household to the land, and people will vote for him regardless of his politics I Filkcsbarre Sews 1 Correct as the frocs always is.

The Commencement Exercises of the Cape Fear Military Academy were celebra ted last evening at the Opera House. The Cadets were nicely dressed in the neat uniform of the Academy, gray jack, ts aDd white pauts, and were seated in chairs when the curtain was raised and a bevy of intelligent youths were presented to the audience. Maj. Burgess introduced Mr. Juo. D. Bellamy. Jr., the orator of the occasion. Mr. Bellamy arose and delivered an instructive, intelli gent, and interesting addre. There was nothing sophomorical in his stylo and the address was one which would have re flected much credit upon an old head He spoke with much feeling and tender ness of our old instructor. Gen. Raleigh Edward Colston, and said not one word too much in his behalf. Gen. Colston's pupils felt a thrill go to their hearts In hearing words of just praise spoken of their old and revered preceptor. Mr. Bellamy was repeatedly interrupted by applauses from the audience and wound up his address in a few well conceived and wise remarks to the Cadets of the Academy. At the conclusion of Mr. Bellamy's address, Capt. Washington Catlett, of the Academy! read the follow ing report: The resuscitation of the Cape Fear Military Academy was brought about as follows: The principal having conceived the idea of establishing a schcol in some southern city, and believing Wilmington, from its position and many peculiar ad vantages, to be the most suitable place, an effort was immediately begun to effect a commencement at least. Though meet ing with the encouragement of many of the true and genuine people of the city there were yet many difficulties to be overcome which must present themselves at the beginning of all undertakings. Uut by constant perseverance an opening was made on October 3d, with 33 cadets. The military feature being considered the best-, promoter of discipline, good order and general utility, it was introduced Before the end of a week, the numbers had increased to 44, and continued to do so until an average scholarship was attained of 53. During the entire year 5S students matriculated. The progress made by the cadets has been both creditable to themselves and satisfac tory to their teachers ; and having been connected with other institutions, we can truly say that for general intelligence and ready comprehension these young .gentle men compare favorably with any with which we have been connected. ' The following is an average standing for the entire year of the various classes in the school ; 100 being the maximum : Second class, average 90; number in class 10. Third class, average 88;number in class 23. Fourth class, 87$, number in class 25, which, taking all thing into consideration, is a fair average for an entire year. We must here return thanks to those who hive bestow rl upon us their patronage dur ag this session. There has been constantly an appreciation of it and an effort to show that appreciation by an endeavor to faithfully perform all duties in order that the best results for parent, pupil, and teacher might be attained. Profiting by our part success, an effort is being made to enlarge the sphere of the school, hoarders have been engaged he corps of instructors has been increased by the addition of the son of one of North Carolina's most successful teachers, Mr. J. C. Horner, the building will be made comfortable and convenient, the school rooms will be gifted up with new patent desks ; the armory will be supplied with an improved gun. A library is open for use of cadets, and an amateur paper- is edited for this pleasant improvement. The future prospect of the school, if any opinion can be formed at this junction, is truly .flattering. With many thanks for past kindnesses, we hope and shall endeav or to make the Academy one which shall be both an. ornament to the city and an indispensable institution to the people. Cadet Jesse B. Hawes delivered a beau" tiful extract from a speech delivered by Hon. Edward CantweU, on "The impris onment of Jefferson Davis.' Cadet Hawes showed much oratorical ability and reflec ted a very great degree of credit upon himself and preceptor. Cadet W. R. Morrison also did well, and Cadet J. H. Meares deliv ered his oration in an impressive man ner. The original composition, read by Cadet H. D. Thompson, entitled "The Beautiful," was indeed beautiful, and showed the latent fire of a. good, sound and active mind. With Cadet Thompson's composition the exercises for the evening came to a close and the curtain went down amid cheers for Major' Burgess and Captaj Catlett, . . Major Burgess has done well in raising his Academy to .Ms present high standing and in years to come, as is the case ten day, the .Cape Fear Military Academy will be held up as an ornament ;and at traction of the city of Yilrjaingf,n. Have you seen" the handsome Meer schaum pipe at Messrs." Worth '& Worth's office, marked: "For the Paris Eipoaition2" REVIEW Not the Han. Sheriff Earuch, of Darlington, South Carolina, accompanied by Deputy Wm. C. Rhodes, arrived here last night, armed with the proper papers, to take possess ion of the body of Miles Smith who is alleged to have committed a murder near Darlington Court House some two years ago. Sheriff Baruch and his Deputy Rhodes, who is the party that was to identify the man, together with Officer 'Oldham, 'who made the arrest in Onslow of the party puspecttd as being the man, Justice Harriss, who ijsued the warrant, the Review reporter and one or two others proceeded to the Jail this morning for the purpose of hearing what the prisoner had to say when he was told by a party who knew him, that he was the man who was charged with the crime of murder. Arrived at the jail Sheriff Baruch told his Deputy Rhodes not to let Smith see his face, at first, but to turn his head away aud then to turn around and con front him suddenly; Daniel Howard, the jailor, upou being informed of the object of the party, escort ed them up the stairs of the prison, pulled out bis bunch of keys, inserted the right one, and turned it in the lock, when the iron grated door, which separates a good many uufortunate souls from all that is pleasant and enjoyable in the outer world, swung upon its hinges, and the '-'supposed Miles Smith, who was said to have the mark of Gnu upon his brow, was brought out. Smith -said-"frood morning gentlemen," and looked from one to the other of the party with a sort of inquiring glance, which .seemed to a.k what was wanted. We observed a little nervous twitching of the manVhanda as he was brought to confront halt a dozen strange faces, but this, taking all the circumstan ces into consideration, was'bat natural. Deputy Rhodvs, carrying out his chiefs instructions, averted his bead at first, but suddenly turning upon Smith, looked him full in the face, but immediately shook his head and remarked "that is not the man." So it turns out that tha pris oner, L. V. Smithi the man whom he claims to be, and not Miles Smith, the alloged murderer whom he was thought to be. L. V. Smith had a preliminary trial before Justice; Harriss this mornine. Of and was, of course, discharged. Mr. Smith, the innocent man, said he intended returning at once to Onslow, but that he would much prefer going to Dar lington and have the matter settled, at once and forever. We read the proclamation of Governor Hampton, offering a reward for the guilty party and giving a description of the ab sconding man, which Sheriff Baruch showed us this morning, and we cannot conceive how Mr. L. V. Smith, according to that description, could have been taken for Miles Smith. The latter is described as being 5 feet 8 inches high and bald headod, but L. V. Smith is fully 6 feet 11 inches high and is not bald-headed; though we would not have been surprised to have seen him gray-headed, even though he is a young man, after a con finement of several days in the common jail, upon a charge of murder, when he was all the time an innocent man. Firemen's Pic NIc. The members of Howard Relief Fire Company will give a pic nic at ' Wilming Gardens to-morrow evening, commencing at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It the weather is fine they will have just as good a time as was ever had at that delightful resort and if is not fine they will have a good time anyhow. They know how to enjoy themselves and will be certain to do, .so this time. Tickets of admission 81. Hotel Arrivals. Pubcell House. Wilmington, N. C, June 18th.
