New Money Order Offices. Three hundred and ninety-seven new offices are to be added to the list of money-order offices in the United States on the 1st f July, the commencement of the fiscal year, and the National Republi can takes this as to a certain extent indi cative of the return of business activity. Three of these new offices are located in North Carolina. nigh School for Boys We invite attention to the advertise ment of ilr. J. N.

We spent a short time, last Tuesday, at the residence of Ex-Sheriff Black, on Middle Sound, and were shown by him the spots in which the human bones spoken of by us some time ago were found. They are turned up by the plow on two different hills in one field, which faces the saa, and in particular places are found in abundance by digging a short distance below the surface. Prof. Kerr thould by all means examine these de posits. He made an engagement last Summer to do so ami appointed a time but fail ed to come. There are some old legends "couuected with this plage which abound in interest. Mr. Black's plantation was for several generations in the possession of a branch of the Moore family and old Col. Moore, father of the late proprietors, is said to have found in the Meld alluded to skele tons ot a man and a horso which he was for many years accustomed to show to visitors. The discovery cf the bones is not, by any means, therefore, a recent one, but the fact was novr-r published until last year. It is said that a rreat many years, ago Barren Inlet (whieh makes iu just be tween Wrightsville and Middle Sounds) carried a tfood draught of water and that it was then about immediately in front of the Moore homestead. In this Inlet it is averred that the pirot Teach or "Black beard" would sometimes sail for the pur pose of making such repairs as might be necessary to his vessel and some suppose that these deposits of bones are the re mains of his 'victims, captured at sea. It is in evidence that these remains are of persons, as no Indian tomahawks, arrows or beads have been found. Dr. M. J. DeRosset examined some portions of jaV bone and he averred that they were of whites and we picked up a piece of a skull there the other day that could have belonged to neither an Indian or a negro; besides, the finding of the skeleton of a horse goes to confirm this view a3 we all know that animal to have been imported into this country. The remains of an old live oak (a dead live oak !) are shown in this field (the Golgotha; call it) under which it is said that " Blackboard " used to rest when his vessel was in the Sound. That these things are not so highly im probable is evidenced by tha fact that, as narratedJby Dr. Hawks, one who wrote in 1731 alluded to Topsail Inlet (which is only a few miles above Barren Inlet) as "capable of receiving a ship of forty guns, and of containing all the ships in America," and this allusion, as Dr. fiawks thought, was probably meant fcr the pirate's ship, the "Queen Anne's Re venge," which carried 40 guns. We would be glad to have Prof. Kerr come down here and examine these hopes and see if he cannot enlighten us all. . Too Often Bone. Do not, put your pillows or feather beds into the sun to air, but in a shady place with a clear, dry wind blowing over them. If it is cloudy, but not damp, and the wind is strong, it is all the better. This, if practiced often, will keep well cured feathers always sweet. Badly cured feathers cannot be made sweet. -A hot sun on the best feathers will turn them rancid.

Theot"rc musicalc of the pupils of Misses Burr k, James' school and Mrs. M. K. Cushiug's scholars took place last evening at their school room. The programme presented' w da one -of unusual interest and one which brought forth the best efforts of the young ladies. The exercises tor the evening were highly appreciated and .enjoyed by tin; audience and will long be remembered. The Salutatory delivered by Mis Lyd.i Schenck was both neat and graceful and was delivered in a modest and unassum ing manner. The--Gloria Mozart's Tvvclth Mass, was highly enjoyed and was rendered in a manner peculiar to those who saug it, and whos"! musical abilities are appreciated. Misses indersou and Cowan, both new beginners, performed a Polka Militaire iu a satisfactory manuer both to teachers and audieuce. Misses Alice UarreH's efforts were very happy and highly enjoyed. Trio from Overture Tancrccli, de Utossini, by Misses Grafilin, Murray and Harlow, was very fine and th'-siv .'young ladies added fresh'-laurels t thir n,n.i.v! rppu tatioo. - Col. J. G. Burr delivered tJie privjos to the young ladies iu a happy style and gave them borne souiid advii:o fr their guidance through life. The excelaior medal, the i' big lies: prize of the school, was awarded to the you'ug lady who has received the largest number of golden merits during tho school session of nine months. Thirtyt-six is the maxi mum. The mcdl was earned this year by two young ladies, Miss Bessie Ledford and. Miss Josie Schenck, there being a tie between the two; each haviug obtained thirty-four golden merits, each received a medal. The prise in the 2l class was awarded Miss Mai Cowan, she having earned twenty-seven golden merits. It is but fair to state that this young lady has made but two failures during tho school " term, absence by sickness causing tho loss in golden merits. - In the 3d class to Misses Leo Cameron and Hattie Whitaker, each having obtain ed thirty-one golden merits. In the 4th class Miss Josie Schenck tied with Miss Bessie Ledford for the excelsior medal. In the 5th class Miss Lucy Moore re ceived the prize, obtaining sixteen golden merits. In the 6th class Miss Daisy Schenck re ceived the prize, having earned fourteen golden merits. In the 7th class Master Tommy Bunting received the prize. In the 8th Master Jimmy Barclay. In the First Division in Composition Miss Mary Cassidey was awarded the prize, the maxium being 26, and she re ceiving 20 perfect marks. For the Second Division in Composi tion Miss Ada Schenck obtained the prize. For the best performance of the major scales on pianoforte among primary schol ar8,there is a tie between Misses Mai Cowan and Annio VonGlahn, and both receive prizes. The juvenile operetta, "A Spring Holi day," was beautifully -rendered, and elicited the heartiest applause from the audience. Tb.e prologue, delivered by Miss Meggie Meares, was interesting, and was spoken in a highly commendable manner. The Misses Van Orsdell sang very sweetly, as did Miss Mary Chaffin. Just here we will state that, owing to the sickness of the little lady who was to have acted the part of the queen, Miss Chaffin learned the role of the queen on yesterday, and acquitted herself very handsomely. Miss Rheu, aa teacher, acquitted herself satis factorily, and was the recipient of com; plimenU from the audience. The calis- thenic movements with flowers and ban ners were easy and graceful, and the little ladies grouped themselves together inva beautiful manner, presenting most cann ing tableaux. Thursday afternoon the compositions of the young ladies were read, and many of them would-have reflected credit upon much older beads. The subject lesson of the young ladies was peculiarly fine and the obtQCts, moulded; by them with common clay, were the admiration of all who saw them. This feature in a scnooi is a nigh. ly commendable one, and one which should be instituted in all of our schools. With showers of kisses for their, precep tresses, the young ladies left them for their vacation, and tbe ladies w no nave so con stantly discharged their duties, both for their pupils and parents, were well pleased at the result or their etron j. -: ' NO. 127 The Meetins of the Bar. The meeting of the members ol tlu; Bar, adjourned from Thursday was held this morning in the Court House with Hon. Goo. Davis in the chair and Mr. Mr. John D. Bellamy, Jr., as Secretary. Hon. Hugh Waddell, on behalf of his Committee.in very touching and eloquent remarks presented the following report : The members of the "Wilmington Bar, deeply sensible of the loss which the pro- lession has .sustained in the 'death of William A. Wright, Esq., and desirous of giving expression to their own feelings under the afYliction which has visited them, have adopted the following resolu tions: llesoloed, That tho death of William A. Wright, long recognized as "the father of the Wilmington Bar," and universally beloved, as he was, by his brethren of the profession wherever he was known, is a cause ot sincere and profound sorrow- to us. The removal of such a man from our midst, although at an age when such an ovent might naturally be expected, is to bo deeply lamented. He was a wise counsellor, a learned lawyer aud. .a kind h"irtcd, genial gentleman, whose com panionship was always a pleasure to his friends, and who, whether administering, tho l iw from the bench or practising it at tho bar, waS "al ways just and courteous to all with whom his duties brought hirn iu contact. lUmlvol, l'ii.tt iii tho death of Mr. Wright the State has lost a true and pa triotic son, who was ever alive to her honor aim welfare; and Wil'minitbn lias been bereft of an honored and beloved citizen whoso whole life has been devoted to her lu-st .inteie.sts, and who'has gone to his rest, 1(M in' behind hin tho mmnnn' . r i i . . i i i ------ '.w- IM. J licxolvcd, That we tender to hii be reaved family the ex predion of our sincere sympathy. Ecsolvcd, That the Secretary of this meeting be roquestcd to send "a copy of these resolutions to the family of the de ceased and to the press for publication, and that His Honor be requested to di rect the Clerkof the Court to make a memorial page of ''theae proceedings in the records of the Court. IIugii Waddell, Chairman. John L. Holmes, DuBuutz Cutlal, ' - Duncan J. Dkvane, KiwAiii Cantwlll. 4)u motion of Judge Cantwell, who accompanied the motion with some very appropriate remarks, the roport was adop ted. . On motion the Chairman of the meet ing, Hon. George Davis, presented the resolutions to the Court and asked that they be . spread on the minutes ot the imeeting, Mr. Davis spoke for about fif teen minutes and his remarks were beau tiful, fervent and touching. His Honor, Judge Eure,replied in a very feeling man ner. On motion the meeting then adjourned. - -H- Iluman Relics or the War. We have been informed, on good author ity, that the remains of some of those who were buried at Fort Anderson during the war are becoming exposed. A gentleman who was there a few days fsince saw in one place feet, and in another a head, ex posed. It is not known positively whether these are the remains of Federal or Con federate soldiers, but it .is supposed that they are the latter, and, in this case, we respectfully call the attention of the La dies' Memorial Association to the fact. We also understand th at human bones have recently been exposed at Fort Fisher caused, most probably, by the shifting o the sand there. These are thought to be the remains of some of the Federals who fell ln the attack on Fisher, and Col Brink, whose attention has been called to tbe matter, has written to the Secretary o War, suggesting that they be removed and interred iu the National Cemetery, near this city. - A Famous Bird Dead- - We have a note from our good friend, Col. Davis, of the Porcell House in Nor- tolk, giving us information relative to th death of his famous mocking-bird "Dick," known to the traveling public from Boston to New Orleans. Dick was indeed a famous bird, and the finest singer, by odds, wc have ever known. He was a Wilmington bird, and was 11 years, 3 months and 20 days old. lie fare leaving Wilmington Col. Dav had been offered, and had refused $100 for him, and even when "Dick" "gDt adrift,' tho Colonel cheerfully paid a boy $10 for hia capture and return. Dick died on Wednesday in the Purceli House rotunda in Norfolk, it is supposed of a congestive chill. He seemed in perfect health and had been given his usual morniDg bath and hung up again in his cage when he Suddenly dropped dead. UU like will hardly be seen again. The market was well suppiicd with vegetables cf all sorts, this morning,which weite selling at reasonable rates. 1878. ---PLEASE SOTICE Wo will be glulj ti (receive ttram tfnftatic j iromonr friends on st snd all fnbierbnt general interest hot : 1 f t; j ' 1 f Tha name of ?tfcif srrW u :U falravi Uf j Ul famished to the SihotJ U I J H ! !
