It was a glorious time at Grermania
Hall last night, when the married folks
acted the hosts and the young folks the
guests, thus reversing the regular order
of affairs which has obtained here. The
large and elegant hall was well filled,
and with a happy crowd. For once, the
married folks asserted their rights and
maintained them. Tbey danced and
danced and danced and the cares and
anxieties of every day life were put aside
and the vonnzsters at home asleeD in
their cribs and trundle-beds were for the
nonce all but forgotten and joy reigned
supreme. It was the remark of an an
cient Lothario, one who Lad danced years
ago with the grandmothers of some of
those present, that nerer ia the history
of Wilmington had as many pretty mar
ried ladies been grouped togelther under
the same roof. The fun was kent aliye
I until a late hour and until nearly all of
I the married folks present remembering
their neglected responsibilities, dron-
ped out, two by two, from the lestive
scene and hastily hurried homewards.

was actually paid in money in this way
will not suffice, unless it be also proved
that it was the intent at the time of the
contract that the settlement should be
made in this way. The court admits the
wrongfulness of this practice, and that as
practiced it is gambling, but it will not
take as proof of gambliag in this c&se the
well-known custom that prevails, for
evidences that woald establish other spe-
cies of gambling.

Before Justice Hall, Mary Stewart.
colored, was arraiged this morning upon
the charge of committing an aasault with
a knife and inflicting several wounds upon
the person of Laura Haggett, colored, last
night in Paddy's Hollow. The case was
continued on account of the inability of
the principal witness, Laura Haggett, to
attend the trial as she is confined to her
hease from the wounds received in the
melee, and the defendant was commit
ted. Wm. John Lorxg and George Wood,
two white seamen, belonging to the Br.
barqae Koth Carolina, were arrested
upon a warrant sworn out by tbefCaptain
for committing an assault upon him on
board of his vessel this morning.'
The defendants were each sentenced to
thirty days imprisonment iu the county

of February to be the sufferer.
Littell s Living Age,
We are in receipt of the six numbers
of this excellent weekly issued since
January 1st. Littells isone among the
few magasines published in this countiy
whose pretensions Jo not excel its ahiliti'ea I
and it is the only publication of its class
which f unishes a weekly, instead of a
monthlyfeast to its readers. It publishes
an immense amount of matter and makes
up four volumes to the year giving more
than three and a quarter thousand pages
of matter during the year. With 1879 it
enters upon its thirty-fifth year and the
efforts ot the publishers are being redoub-
ed in the desire to make their magazine
more than ever worthy of the great
patronage which has been acocrded it.
To The Gulf.
We are glad to learn, as we do from the
Raleigh Observer, tbt the bridge on the
Western Railroad will be completed across
Tep Biver by the 12th inst., and that
the ears will be running to tbe Gulf, in
Chatham country, in three weeks.
It is time, we think, for the merchants
of this city to be striking for some of tbe
trade of the interior and central portion
of the State which this road aa it pro
gresses will open up to tha people of
Fayette ville and Wilmington.
Wa are requested to state that then
will ha no postponement of tbe lecture this
evening oa account of the weather.
The indications are that there will be a
very large attendance at the Opera House
to-night to hear Col. McRae's lecture.noU

The Profetsor agreed with the authori

force the collection of the showman's tax
from him, he would give all over eighteen
