The defendant was discharged upon promising to leave town before the setting of another sun. The C, C. & A. R. R. The Chaxlotto Ooserrer says : "The report that tho Richmond & Danville Railroad lias, within the past two days effected that much-talked-of purchase of a controling Interest in the Charlotte, Co lumbia & Augusta Railroad, was curren on the streets last night, but could not be traced to any one who was willing to sa he knew It was so." j The same reports have been curie at on the streets here, but we do not know how they originated. It is said here that an ar rangement has been effected, but that the fact will not be made public before Sep- teaibr l Can the Troth Overtake a He ? Investigation discloses the fact that the lady reported in the Associated Press dis patches, about Aug. 10th, to have died in Chicago after two weeks' use of some reputed remedy for corpulency, had not taken Allan's Anti-Fat, but bad used a preparation put up by a regular physi cian in Luzerne, Pa. . Allan's Anti-Fat is manufactured in Buffalo, N. Y.,' by the undersigned. We have already sold oyter 100,000 bottles of it. It has therefore been taken by thousands, and wo chal lenge prool that it has ever" harmed any body, unless the reduction of obese per sons from 20 to CO pounds, leaving them healthy and strong, is considered a misfor tune. Furthermore, we hereby offer $5,000 reward for evidence showing that it contains poisonous or injurious ingre dients. ' We also offer $5,000 if we can not prove that it lias reduced numbers of persons as stated herein, and always without injury, It is said .a lie will out travel the truth any time: but wo trust that thoso newspapers that have misled the public by saying that physicians at tributed the lady's death to tho use of Anti-Fat (which is only put up by us, the term "Anti-Fat" being our trade mark), will correct the false impression they have conveyed, by! publianing this refutation. , I - - - BOTANIC MEDICINE CO., Buffalo, N.

Postponement. j la sympathy with the general feeling; expressed by tho community and at the request of the lion. A. M. Waddell him self, Capt. Cha3. D. Myers, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee, has requested us to state that out of re spect to the memory of Captain Isaac B. Grainger, deceased, tho appointment for Col. Waddell to deliver an address upon the isues of the day iu front of tho' Daw son Bank to-night, is postponed to some future occasion, due notice of which will be given at the proper time. A Kindly Courtesy, We arc pleased to learn " and glad to announce that Captain .J: F Divine, oupenntenaent ot tne W Umington Cc eldon Railroad, has tendered to the ttm ... .1 m .M r car with which to go to Rocky Point to meet and escort to this city the remains of its lamented President, Capt. Isaac B. Grainger. The members of the organiza tion are requested to mee1. at the Front street depot, in full regalia, at 8 o clock a, m. to-morrow. The Funeral Services. Capt. I. B. Grainger's remaios are ex- pected here to-morrow morning on the 10:03 iram iroru uie xonu, auu it is expected that the funeral services will take place, during the afternoon, but the exact hour has not yet been designated. The Bank of .New Hanover is closed and draped in mourning to-day, and we are authorized to state will remain closed to- morrow. It is probable, also, that a great many places of business will be closed, and ...... . ........ we think it only appropriate that there should be a general suspension of business during the progress of the funeral cere monies. A Counterfeit or Buffalo Bill. A poor beggarly white tramp, who was well nigh shoeless as well as hatless, and who wore a'coat with many rents in it, was arrested last night for drunkenness, and when asked his name stated that he was Buffalo Bill. ''Why didn't you never hear of him ?" inquired the poor vagrant. But that get-off wa3 too thin, as the officer who made the arrest had both geen and hoard of tho . renowned William Cody, otherwise known as Buf- falo Bill, the great frontier scout, and so the counterfeiter of Buffalo Bill was given a night's lodging in tho Guard House.

Direct Importation. Messrs Giles & Murchison, of this city, now have landing from the British barque KortfifCarolina a large invoice, compns-1 ing a very desirable assortment.of earthen-1 ware direct from the English potteries, This is but the first of a series of invoices to be recieved by this firm and opens a new era in the trade in Wilmington, Country merchants, in especial, are re-ja quested to notice this fact' particularly as it will prove to their interest to examine thls lot of goods. As tho cost of impor- tation from Liverpool to Wilmington is no more than from Liverpool to New York, tho advantage oi pure casing in this market, in the way of a saving cf freight, will be readily preceived. Messrs Giles & Murchison are confident of their ability to compete with the Northern markets and with this object in view they offer to duplicate any bill for these goods I made in New York. I Chamber of commerce and Produce Exchange. Pursuant to a call by the Chairman each body a joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce anil Produce Exchange was a held this morning at 12 o'clock at their rooms to take some action in regard to : ih dnalh nf ,:.. u.

JFheCommittce retired and in a short time returned and reported through their chairman, Mr. Wm. Calder, the following preamble and resolutions: ' ' j Whereas, In the mysterious workings r f TTia iniM-ntnUtn T : J : t. 1 pIeased the q a m ' move from our midst, in the prime of li crime ol nie and at the zenith of his career, one. who to nnr hniti annroioirt tsnA . .Ln ; l ra 1 . ..1 1 t -w-r . . . ouies wun wnicn lie enaows the noblest of his Creatures; we are met together to give expressions, as best we may under the pressure of great personal and cor porate grief, to the feelings of profound emotion' excited by the intelligence ot the death of our late associate and fellow1 member, Isaac i,. uraingcr. Tnerc I 1 T . fore: uesoicca, 'mat tne-unamber ot (Jom- f WilminBton. SDGakinT rfr ihpm and as representatives of the commercial i interests oi our community, desire to place upon record! their estimate of the character and services of our deceased member, and of the inestimable loss which our city and commerce has sustained in his death so great that we are constrain ed to regard it as a (grievous public ca lamity. ! Endowed with an unusuailv active mmd, quick in itgconwptions, and I in ThPir wnMif irn rt Inmn lilm.nlift. : in their execution: of lanre liberalitv grat public spirit, rare executive ability, ana unusual ; breadth of menta i i i . scope; no comDineci mat energy of physical character which made mm a successlul leader in large enter prises, with those attributes which at tractcd to his aid the earnest co-operation of his fellow men. He was "a dealer with events, a shaper of circumstances" a; mah 0f will, of pride, of courage and power.1 Associated with these characteristics' and underlying his whole nature, were those- gentler qualities which mark tho main of tender heart, approachable aliko by men of all estates, and never turning a deaf ear, or withholding a helping hand, from the appeals of deserving industry, or tho complaints oi unfortunate want. Jiesolced, That we have lost in him our recognized leader in many of tho most important public enterprises of this city and State, our earnest cp-operatof and counselor in all, and one as alert to the best interests of our people, as ever ready to further them by personal effort, or a cheerful sacrifice of time and labor. Jx8 a sngbt tribute to bis worth wo adopt these our resolutions, but as lasting monuments to his name we point to those public enterprises and institutions which are the offshoots of his career, and will ever bo inseparably associated with his memory, Resolved, That a copy of these reso lutions be sent to his afflicted family, with a tender of our heartfelt sympathies; that they be inscribed upon the records of our respective bodies, and that the members f Chambers iwear the usual badge of lished. Mr. Calder then in eloquent words paid a most handsome and feeling tribute to tho memory of tho deceased. With a lip quifering with emotion while his eyes moistened with tears, the speaker re ferred to Captain Grainger '$ career since his first advent in our midst as a young lad some eighteen years ago of his rapid rise to the eminence he had attained in the business cominunity,filling successive- y an(j successfully many prominent and responsible positions of trust. Opponents he had, continued the spedker and call them enemies if you will, but they were the necessary accompaniments of success. j He was an open enemy and a firm friend, friend indeed and oftentimes a friend ia need; The speaker could not claim an intimate acquaintance with the cle- ceased,but he had met him unreservedly, socially and in a business way, but never at any time during such intercourse had he ever known the departed member to speak of those who were termed 'his eCcmies. disDaragingly, tj motion 0f Mr. Calder the resolutions were then adopted: ' On motion of Hon.
