We regret to learn that our esteemed young friend,Mr. Geo. C. Kelley,for several years past in the Auditor's office at the W. & W. and W.

Ala.', where he goes to embark in business, having purchased tn interest with Hall & Co., a large hari- ware and crockery house in that city.: He has our most cordial wishes for as succe'ss. Capt.

Very good: add the digits; 9 and 9 are 13, add 1 and 8 are 9. Going on to any extent, it is impossible to get rid of the figure 9; .Take a couple of instances at random. Three hundred and thirty nine times nine are 3,051.; add up the fig ures and they give 9. Fire thousand and brty-one times nine are 45,869; the .sum of the digits is 27; and 2 and 7 are 9- M. de Marran found out another queer thinff about this number, ; namely, that if you take any row of figures and, reversing heir order, make a subtraction sum ot it, he total is sure to make nine.

The Falling oT an Immense Wall-Tel. esraphlc Reports from Smlthyillc and sjoop Point Telephonic Re ports from Masonboro Sound. To-day will, we imagine, be long re membered by our people as one where in the god of the temrest held hmh car- nival.1 Tho equinoctial storm which had been threatening us for several days .broke upon us last night with the wind almost a hurricane in its fury, and the rain fall ing in such torreats as to delude the streets and make the gutters like a moun tain cascade. Trees and fences were blown down in various parts of the city. It blew big guns last night and floods of rain fell during the night and this morn- 1D. MA.EKET STREET j , was one sheet of water, the flood running down to the river with much impetus, carrying every thing before iti A couple of large dry goods boxes were washed from the side walk into' the gutter when they were rapidly carried as far as Front street. Colored boys mounted the boxes and seemed to enjoy the fun of sailing down the gutter. Stores in the vicinity of "mud market" were flooded, but no damage was done to stocks as afl articles which could have been injured were placed on skids above water. The heaviest and, most se rious damage done by the storm was THE FALLING OF A BRICK WALL on Front street about 8 o'clock this morn ing. At about this time.there was a severe clap of thunder and a terrible lightning Hash, followed by a violent gust of wind, and in a few minutes thereafter persons in the neighborhood of Mr. Donald Mc- Raes new building were startle by a. heavy thud, which proved to be the fall ing of the Southern wall and Immense imbers of the building. The wall was forty feet high and about one hundred feet in length and was entirely unprotected, because of the delay iu getting the iron front, which has been expected for I some weeks past, but which arrived only a day or two ago. Of late there has been but very little sunshine to dry the mortar, and .he wall has been subjected to a great deal of rain. The owners and builders have been anticipating some damage on this ac. count. The iron workmen who came here for the purpose of erecting the front, were at the building this morning prepared to go to work, when they were forced out iy the rain and took refuge on the portico cf the Western Union Telegraph Company. They had hardly gotten under shelter when Ub flash of lightning came, which they saj nearly stunned them, it is the opin ion of some persons that the electric fluid struck the wall,, shattering it, and the vind nnished the Iwork. Workmen were immediately put to work clearing away the debris. The loss is all in labor and irill amount to not more than $500. ' AN IMMENSE TREE. near the corner of 4 Fifth and Princess itreets was torn up by the roots and thrown against a house but we could rot ascertain the damages because of the fct that the house was almost entirely csvered by the branches and leaves of the tre. A tree in the old colored cemetery on the corner of Fifth and Red Cross streets was blown down but it had hardly toucned the ground before persons living in tle neighboebood commenced to lay in tieir winter supply of fuel. j AT POINT PETER ( the trie rose over the wharf but did no damase. The smokestack of Messrs. Alderman i Bro's. still was blown off with but little damage. SMITHVILLE. The maximum velocity of the wind at Smithrille, up to 8 o'clock, was forty five rcUes, but at 11 o'clock fto-day the wind was flowing in gusts and sometimes at the rate of, sixty miles an hour. Tbs shipping was securely anchored in tbe stream and was bravely breasting the! storm. The pilot boats came in yester dvy as soon as the storm signal was raised and now we are happy to state we have no horrible suspense hanging over us as to the fate of any of tbe party. Trees and fences Were blown down ut beyond this' was no damage at SmithviUe, so tar as reported. I MASONBORO BOUNDl! A Review reporter conversed with rw Cazaux at !Masonboro Sound k ih Telephone this morning, in Ki,torm. He described it reiereuw - 12, 1878. , NO. 191 as being magnificent and stated that ro damage had beep done further than he washing away of t""r ways and destruction to fences. All the yachts were securely housed and none of them sustained any damages in consequence of the storm. SLOOP P0IXI Telegraphic advices from Sloop Point states that the storm is one of tho severest ever known. The seas are breaking over the beach, and the sound and ocJan is one continuous sheet. The officer in charge S". J - ! oi tne signal service is going to the beach as soon as the storm abates to look out for wrecks and will promptly report' them. The maximum 1 VELOCITY OF THE WIXI at this city was thirty miles, and the rain-fali about two inches. We have heard of no damage to shipping in port were notified of as the masters of vessels the coming of the storm and sscurcly moored their vessels. I S x The Kews from Maine. We publish on the fourth page of this issue full reports of the result of the elec tion in Maine fuller reports, in fact, that have thus far1 been presented to readers in this city. The Greenbackers and Democrats have carried the day and Hamlin, Blaine and Eugene Ilale have met their Waterloo. It was a' disastr ous day for the Republicans and one from which they will never recover. The New York World calls it a cataclysm ind exults as follows: j A Congressman lived m Bangor - 1 Whose features are livid with anger; He has i torn all his coats Ana lost thousands or otes This irascible person of Bangor. Hale jumped Into a bramble bush With all his might and Maine; His eyes are scratched, so let him j uinp. His ayes and noes are slain. Oh, have you heard the news from Maine- i ' Maine Maine ? Don't things look rather blue for Blaine Blaine Blaine? It is to be hoped that Gen. Woodford will do the Democratic party a further ''civil service'' by stumping other States than Malnef 1 The Hon. Eugene met." Is a "Hale fellow well A Complaint. We hear much complaint from the people in Brooklyn of the late hours at which services are held by the colored people in their places of worship, and the noisy manner in which those services are conducted, depriving hardj-working pec ple of their necessary sleep, and caus ing great anoyance to those who have sickressiir their families.! We feel 'con fident,; from the sources from which the f complaints come, that ftiey have a foun dation in fact, and real annoyances, of the character described, do exist. No one wishes to roj the colored people of any of their right; and we would ear nestly uphold them in their acts of wor ship but when theso acts otj worship are carried to and are conducted unreasonable hours with the earnestness with xohirh thflvarfl ffinerallv charactcr- l zed they become simply a nuisance to others. Wo advocate"the largest liberty compatible with the public good,!' but no person, or number of persons, has either a moral or legal right so to act as to cause continued disturbance to tne com munity. There are seasonable hours and reasonable ways in which to' conduct re ligious as well as any other, services hours and ways at which no one jean just ly complain but when theyare carried on until after midnight, and in a boisterous manner, as these complaints indicate, they cease to be worthy efforts, and ought to receive the denunciations of every order- lovine citizen. We write in the spirit of kindness, and fiope that the colored peo ple will see tha in the future eycrytnms may be done ' decently and in order. . ! j H 1' ! . A fool never admires himself so much as when be has committed some folly. Wo may joke when we please, if we please when we are always careful to joke. I t Tne Tfiennometer.
