presiding.
The first on docket this morning were
Jno. Hill and Ben Allen, two colored
youths some tea years of age, who were
arrested by officer King yesterday after
neon in the vicinity of Oakdals Cemetery
after a run of six or eight squares, for
insulting persons on the street. The
Mayor pro fern fined them $1.50 each or
five days in the city prison.
Jno. Hawley, alias Dillingham, a
beardless, smooth-face, white yonth of
eighteen or twenty summers and an in
habitant of Paddy's Hollow, and also a
frequenter of all the low dance houses in
that vicinity ,aocording to to ths testi
mony oi ths police, was arraigned this
morning upon the charge of interfering
with the police force in the discharge of
their duti-8. The Mayor pro tern, after
hearing the evidence in the case, put
some plain practical questions to the
prisoner regarding the localites he visited
and then.apparently mare in sorrow than
in anger, imposed a fine of $1.00 or five
days in the city prison.
Mike Peden, colored, the notorious lit
tle rascal Mike and another colored boy,
J J. Wilson by name, were arrested and
lodged in the Guard. House last night for
disorderly conduct. Mike was given one
day more in the Guard House and the
other little rogue was discharged. This
last case cleared the docket and the court
adjourned.

Publie Meeting in Pender.
Bcbgaw, N. C:, Feb. 2nd, 1879.
At a meeting of the Democrats of Pen
der county, to-day, Dr. E. Porter was
called to the chair, and Mr. Bruce Williams
was requested to act as Secretary. A com
mittee on resolutions reported the following
through their Chairman, pr. Satchweil,
which was adopted
Whereas, Toe people of Pender county
are properly alive to the importance of
public measures now before the fcetslature
and agitating the public mind of the State.
Therefore
Beaolted, That we are opposed to the
project of making new roada or of keeping
up those already ronatrncted by taxation,
Dot are in uvor or aanenng to tne
system of working public roads, and be
lieve it would i be efficient it the present
law in relation to overseers and road hands
shoul l be rigidly enforced.
Resolved, That the interest in sheep
husbandry and of popular education de
mand the enactment by the Legislature
or a dog law, as it is commonly called, and
that such a law would be of great benefit
to all classes and colors in Pender county,
and of immense advantage to the people
of the whole State.
Resolved, That the welfare and good
name of our noble old commonwealth
demand that the present Legislature
should mase some fair, just, and honor
able compromise of such nortiona
of the public debt of the State
as North Carolina is bound in honor
to pay, and that in ordor for the interest
of such amount of the principal of said
debt1 as the Legislature may agree to
pay, may be felt with the least incon.
venienco and hardship by the people, we
recommend our present general assembly
to pass the bell-punch law, as the best
means of paying the interest of such
principal, believing as we do that th9
principle and purpose of j such a law is
wise and just, and needs to be put in legal
operation in North Carolina.
Resolved, That the Representative and
Senator in the Legislature from Pender,
are hereby respectfully requested to use
ineir innuence in the General Assembly
against any law proposing to keep up
the public roads of Pender by taxation,
and in favor of the measures announced
and approved of ia these resolutions.
Mr. Bruce Williams introduced the
following resolution which was adopted:
That inasmuch as the Democratic
Executive Committee of the county
having failed or refused to act in regard
to recommending Magistrates for appoint
ment by the present Legiature, that this
meeting recommend that the Democrats
of each township meet at their respective
voting places on Saturday, the 8th inst.,
at 12 o'clock, M. and recommend to our
Senator and Representative in the Legisla
ture from Pender county, the names of
such men asjthey may desiretobe appoint
ed Migistrates.
On motion the Secretary was instructed
to prepare the proceedings of this meeting
and request their publication in the
Wilmington Review, Journal, fSun
and Atar.
Bruce Williams, Secretary.

Telegraph stock sold at the New York
Stock Ecchange for 96.1-8 per share;
Uctober 14th, 1878, it sold at 86.5-4. a
fluctuation of 9 3-8 per cent., ir seven
days; 12,600 shares sold on a margin of
one per cent, required an actual capital of
$12 500. The same stock delivered at
86.3-4 gave a profit of 9 3-8 per cent, on
on the stock or $937.60 per 100 shares
On the whole 12,500 the actual profit was
-$117,187.50 er 9 3-8 times the capital
used in one week. This is a
single esse tken from the official record
ot the Stoek Exchange, and shows how
much money fs made so rapidly in stocks
Few people, however, have the neces
sary cash to put up in order to realize such
immense profits as these, but capital in
any arrount from $10 to $50,0C0
can be used with equal success by the
new combination system af operating in
stocks which Messrs Lawrence & Co,
Bankers, New Yctflt, have established.
By this method of pooling thousands of
orders in various sums and operating
them as one immense capital, shareholders
realize large profits which are divided

An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an East

vegetable remedy for the speedy and per
manent cure for consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh, asthma, and all throat and lung
affections, also a p sitive and radical cure
for nervous debiiiry and all nervous com
plaints, after having tested its wonderful
curative powers in thousands of cases, has
felt it his duty to make it known to bis
suffering fellows. Actuated by this motive,
and a desire to relieve human suffering, I
