It is said that Col. Williara Tecumseh Cut-lar was expelled from the ranks of tho Greenback party last night. Health Officers F. IT. James and S.

There has been a rise of three feet in the river at Fayetteville, and the j old stcamboatmeu now call it, very good boat- in water. The reason .why all good fishermen carry a flask is that when they drop their lines they always invite the fish to take something. i , It is said that ink stains in linen or cot ton may bo removed by washing in strong brine before washing with soap.

A. Gilmore, U. S. Engineer, did not go down the river at all during his recent visit.; IJc stop ped at Rocky Point on his stay here and from the city went up the river to the rock quarries in company with Mr. Geo. Z. French. It is shrewdly suspected that the object of his visit was to procure rock for the harbor works at Charleston. Tue INortli Carolina. The British barque North Carolina, Capt. Buchau, for Liverpool, is reported below. Mr. Williara Blanks, of this city, is a passenger on hat. The North Caro lina left Liverpool July 3d, and has had somewhat of a lengthy passage. She is expected to arrive at the city this evening. p. s. Since the above was put in type, the barques North Carolina and George Davis, (how well these two names read together !) have been towed up and are now opposite Messrs. Sprunt & Son's wharves. ; Severo Pounding. Lost night, between the hours of 8 and 9 o'clock, there was a large crowd of peo oplo assembled in front of the Ry. Dr. Burkhead's residence on Seventh street, between Mulberry and Walnut, who enter ed the boose of tha Reverend gentleman i above mentioned who it seems is absent mentioned, wno tc seems is ausen , the city. The crowd, taking ad- ;c of the Doctor's absence, proceed- from vantage cd to pound bis family in the following . i manner: Lacu person carried a pounu package cf something good, which with out any regard for the good lady's furni ture they proceeded to pile upon the table until, it- is said, it even groaned. Such visitations as these among our Methodist friends are becoming quite frequent. Those who did the pounding belong to that church in this city. Drowned Near sneedM Ferry. We learned this morning that L. V. Smith, the party who was arrested some two months ago in Onslow county and brought here for trial for the alleged murder of a man committed in Darling ton; S. C, uome j two years ago, was drowned near Sneed'a Ferry in Onslow county, on Thursday last. We have not been able to gather any of the particulars of tho occurrence, but only heard that Smith took a small skiff on the day above mentioned and started to go fishing and later in the day the skiff was discov ered bottom up, and that still later the unfortunate man's body was recovered. It will be remembered that at the trial in this city referred to above, an account of which was published in the Review at tho time, the lately deceased person proved an alibi, and that parties who came from Darlington here to identify the man, said this Ia V. Smith was not the guilty man. A Robbery and an Arrest. Last night an ; unsophisticated indi vidual from the rural districts in peram bulating aioand on North Water Street in the immediate vicinity of Paddys Hollow, encountered a character by the name of Frank Hargrave. The two sud denly became emamoured of eacn otner. But to make a long story short, tnis morning Justice Hall issued a warrant for the arrest of the woman Hargrave on the charge ot robbing this rural gentle man of his pocket knife, shirt studs, pistol, and pocket book containing $12.50. After a preliminary trial the defendant was bound over to the next term of the Criminal Court in the sum of $4b0, in default of which she was committed to the custody of the Sheriff, who in turn commitUd her te jail for safe-keeping. Moral: Steer clear of Paddy's Hollow in tho night time money or no money, armed or unarmed, pistol or no pistol for the very atmosphere in that locality is dreadfully impure. No City Court to-day. Purcell House in Norfolk. "SVc find in the Norfolk Landmark o a recent issue the following account of the Purcell House in Norfolk which, al though somewhat lengthy ,is yet so pleas antly given that we publish it here en- tire ior tne DenentofCol.

The traveling public who are not already familial with the interior, or the reputation of this fine establishment, may be interested to learn that it is provided with a supply of the best wines, Jiquors and cigars. Wc say the best, for it is a fact of common noto riety that Colonel Davis keeps a first-class establishment in all and every one of its various departments. Knowing the charms and advantages of the Purcell House to be all that is claimed for them, we can safely say that those who patronize it will not be disappointed. It offers the comfort3 and the luxuries of life in great profusion, aud the proprietor might take this for his motto: Order is our first law," for prder and de corum reign throughout the large and sumptuous establishment. The rates arc surprisingly low, when compared with the elegance of the entertainment, and are as follows, according to location: $3.00, $2.50 and $2.00 per day, with an elevator to obliterate distance in ascend ing to your room. ; ! There have been heavy dews during the past few nights, and sometimes indications of an early fall. fogs They are getting in the first instalments of a big stock of Fall and Winter goods at Mayor Fishblate's store on Market street.

A drove of some of Onslow county's most famous beef cattle was received here to-day by Mr. Geo. F. Tilley and will be by him offered for salejat his stall in the Market House every day next week. It is said to be about the West beef received here since last April, j : Clifford W. Tayleure, dramatic author and theatrical manager, well known hereabouts, has filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy. It is stated that his lia bilities are $11,000, principally borrowed money, for professional services and print ing, while his assets consist of three suits of clothing, twelve shirts and three suits of underwear Talued at $00. 21, 1878. NO. 17.1 Wilmington in isoe. Mr.. Editor Review: jThe fear of yellow fever viajitinfr this piace amounts almost to an epidemic. bile the authorities taking all necessary precautions to guard us against the advent cf the terrilil2 scourge it is unseemly to cive av to uiin-ceesaiy should, (and are) teats. I passed through the plague iu cur cit in 1HJ2, iind in a few words will endeavc y to; compare our condition as then and now avor au many iamiiies ha I left the city, leaving their doraicils in the carcjiof ser vants ; many lots were full cf weeds, dead cats and other ollal ; our turpentine dis tilleries were not miming. There were encamped around tho city at iiiilerent times- largo bodies cf men, who were removed suddenly by military orders, and who left the smell and c!ul of men and the dead carcasses cf animals on' ami near their camping-grounds. The stench at several localities between here and the bound was such that a rider passing th points would put his uncers to his hose am spurs to his horse until he cleared the deadl iy aiiuyspuere,ana tne winas lor weeus was from that directioii, on this city.! One our riiost able physicians has since- -in substance remaiked : "We would have had sohae deadly fever at that time, even if we Lad not had tho 'yejnw fever. That malaria ami death wa3 in the at mosphere then, every reflecting man who passed through the terrible ordeal, now knows ; the bials refused to sing and left us. , Our condition, at uresent.is tutirelv dif ferent. Our distilleries are mostly in full operation. Our city is as well policed as it can be (in the absence ot a proper sys. tern of drainage) with noj armies encamp ed about us, no steamers running (the blockade, and with a sandy soil, absorbing superfluous moisture, keeping us clear ot stagnant water. : i ! . 1 Not being a 'professional man this com munication may seem' egotistical, l ean only say let any one go through a yellow fever atmosphere in v llmington once and he; will known it again. We have not got the surroundings or the atmosphere here now. n In ending, I should like, to pay a small tribute to one who died a martyr in Wilmington durjhg the scourge jiji 18.U-, I have never seed, any public mention of his service; he silently died at his self-assumed post iind only those of us whp' were here know what he did for all, be fore he was carried to our isilent city qf the dead. I allude to the late Dr. T. CL Worth. If any man deserves tho hero's crown of immprtiility so far as it can be made immortal by mortality it is i the quiet, brave man iwho i'.irie his life to help Lis fellow citizens. N.
