Death and Burial of
Or. Win. 1?.
j Freeman.
Since our last issue Dr. William
Freeman has breathed his last, and yes
terday afternoon bis holy was followed
to the grave by a large concourse of peo
ple, representing all classes of aur citi-
zen. ADont i ociooa unuay ajorutug
worn out by the fearful struggle with
disease, he succumbed quietly and peace
fully to the hand of death and bis uncon
scious spirit yielded with scarcely a strug
gle. The funeral procession yesterday
afternoon moved from his late residence
on Frjnt Street to the Methodic Church,
where a dense throng had already as
sembled to pay the last sad tribute of
respect to the deceased. The corpse was
met in the aisle by Rev. Mr. Yates, the
Pastor of the Church, who preceeded it
up to the front of the pulpit, reading the
funeral sentences. Rev. Dr. Bnrkhead,
Presiding Elder, Rev. Mr. Hall. Pastor
of the Fifth Street Church, Rev. Dr. Wil
son of the First Presbyterian and Rev.
Mr. Taylor, of the First Baptist Church,
occupied seats in the pulpit. All of these
ministers participating in the services.
The pall bearers were Dr. A. J. DeRos
set, Col. J. Q. Burr, Col. Roger Moore,
and Messrs. B. F. Mitchell, !B. O.
Worth and F. J. Lord.
Seldom is a community cilled upon to
mourn so humane and charitable a man
as the subject of this notice. Dr. Freeman
was truly a good man and had the respect
and affection ot all classes of our people.
He was a triond to the poor, aud many a
tear from the widow aud fatherless will
bedew the memory of t. eir benefactor and
invoke from the Almighty those blessed
words of commendation that, "Inasmuch
as ye have done it to the least of these, ye
have done it unto in."
Mere eulogistic sentences will not show
the great estimation in which he was held,
nor the beautiful simplicity and charity of
his life
"A life well spent, whose early oar it was
Uls riper years sUoakl not upbraid Uia
green.' '
He will prove a great loss to the com
munitv one that will be lon felt. But
he has passed away fall of years and good
deeds, and is asleep in the bosom of his
Maker.
"For the last end
Of the aood mtu la peace ! How calm his
exit!
Tight-dew8 fall not n ore gently to the
around.
Nor weary, worn out winds expire so soft."
A Sad Bereavement.
With a sadness of heart which cannot
be expressed by mere lip language we
are called upon to chronicle the sudden
death of Col. William ft. Devane, which
occurred at about 10 o'clock this morning.
He had attended the funeral ceremonies
of Dr. W. E. Freeman yesterday, in ap
parent health, and while sitting with his
family last evening, about 7 o'clock, he
complained of feeling unwell and unable
to catch his breath and that he could not
swallow. One of his children started to
get him a glass of milk, but before she
returned he said that he would go and lie
down, and attempted to walk across the
room for that purpose when he staggered
and would have fallen had not one ef the
family caught him and assisted him to
his bed. A pbysiciaa was immediately
summoned and was promptly i n attend
ance, but he found the patient uncon
scious and unable to swallow. Jledicines
were administered byperdermically, but
without avail . He lingered until about
10 o'clock this morning, when he expired,
as atove stated, ms physician pro
nounced his disease appoplexy.
Colonel Devane was about 61 years o
age, was born in Sampson county, in this
State, graduated at Chapel Hill, studied
law and settled in this city where he has
practiced his profession for many years.
During the war he was Colonel of the
61st North Carolina regiment and was
wounded twice very severely during the
war. Each time the wounds were fol
lowed by a paralytic prostration. At
Petersburg be was struck in both shoul
ders and at Bentonaville he was wounded
in the neck, the ball having grazed his
spinal column. Since tiia close of the
war he has suffered repeated iy and severe
lv from the effects of these wounds, the
attacks always tending towards paralysis.
He leaves a wife and several children,
At the time of his death he filled ibe po
sition of City Attorney. No more fallen
soldier ever faced the fire of she eneav
and no truer hearted friend ever breathed.
His death s a serial blow to his afflicted
family sad a great loss to the community
We tender sincere sympathy and eondo
lence to his bereaved family.
Fire In the Woods,
We learn that there was a fire in the
woods on the "Hamilton place, "J about 4
miles from the city, on the Id Newbern
road, last Saturday nigbt, by which a
large number of turpentine trees were
ruined and a large amount of fencing was
destroyed.
T
Another Fire.
A small one-story frame house, owned
and occupied by Mr. John A. Sanders,
situated on the nlank road, about 4 miles
from ths city, was destroyed by fire last
Friday night 21st inst , about 10 o'clock.
The building and furniture became a
total loss. No insurance. Supposed to be
the work of an incendiary.
A cheap Craft.
Tha sloop Pomonat a little fiat-bottomed
centre-board craft, with sails, rigging, &c.,
complete, was sold at auction on Saturday
last by Messrs. Cronly & Morris, auction
eers, for $126, Mr. D. L. Gore Laving bt
come the purchaser. It was very cheap
for her, as it would probably cost five times
that sum to duplicate the craft. Mr. Gore
got a bargain.
Timber Prices.
Tin following are the prices at which
the different qualities of timber are selling
n this market:
Inferior timbor from $3.00 to $ 3.50
Common " ' 4 00 to 5.00
Fair Mill ' 5.00 to 6.50

We are indebted to H. MeL. Green,
Esq., throagh whose hands a large quan
tity of timber passes, for the information
given above.
On Ireland.
Those who fail to hear Col. McRae at
the Opera House to-morrow evening, in
his lecture on Ireland, will miss what has
been designated by one conversant with
it as the finest effort ef the distinguished
lecturers life. It will be the last of the
series which has been in progress here
for the benefit of the Wilmington Library
Association and if the balmy weather
which is with us to-day should continue
the audience at the Opera House to
morrow evening will probably be one of
the largest ot the season.
Improvements in oakdaie cemetery
In a ramble, a few days since, through
Oakdaie Cemetery, we noticed with pride
and gratification that all of the graves in
that portion allotted to the public for
purposes of interment, and kaowa as "the
public burial ground," have been newly
turfed over and all the old growth briars
and weeds thoroughly removed. . The
improvements give the cemetery a much
more beautiful aspect, and the community
owe Mr. T. Donlan, the Superintendent,
their grateful thanks for his care and
watchfulness over the "silent city of the
dead."
A Deserved compliment.
Major Jno. W. Dunham, the efficient
Clerk of the OrimaalCourt of this county,
received a handsome compliment from
one of the members of the bar in open
court last week, when Jno.L. Homes.Esq j
stated that he had never detected Maj.
Dunham in a mistake, that bis books and
papers were in proper condition at all
times and the clerk always able and will
ing to give any information concerning
the routine busines of the Court. To this
we will add our own testimony, that the
gentleman is never otherwise than court
eous and affable to the numerous inquiries
thatur duty as reporter compels us to
make of the Glerk during the te rm of
Court, and we believe this to be the gen
eral opinion of these who have business
at Major Dunham's desk.
V. S. Commissioner's Court-
One J. W. Whitney, an individual of
African descent, swore out a warrant on
Saturday against Mr. Geo. L. Schutte
for a violation ef the United States Reve

tax for the retail of liquor snd
tobacco as required by law, the de-
fendant being at the time the
affidavit was made, a dealer in both of said
articles. The ease came up for trial be
fore U. 8. Commissioner, McQuigg on
Saturday, when after hearing the evidence
in the case the defendant was discharged.
Sabsequenely Mr. Schutte swore out a
warrant for the arrest of Whitney, and
other witnesses on the part of the govern
