This MorHing's Fire. The alarm of fire this morning wi caused by the burning of the roof of a shanty in Northrop's Alley, between Orange and Anu and running through frem Second to Third streets.

Venerable Visitors. A truly venerable couple, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D. Oldham, are on a short visit to this city to their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Oldham. They reside in Orange county, at the Oaks, ten miles Southwest of Hillsboro and twelve miles West of Chapel Hill. Mr. Oldham is 80 years of age and his wife is nine years his junior. They have been married fifty-two years, hare bad nine children, and at the celebration of their golden wedding, two years ago, had not tuen lost a child. The number ol their descendants now living has not beeu counted up lately, but it is certain that they have never been without a ham an Oldham, we mean in their house. Lock yonr Doors. Complaint is again made by tLe police authorities of the carelessness of some merchants and their clerks in leaving their places of business open at night or leav ing them insecurely fastened. Last night the key of a s ore on North Water street was left in the door, in consequence of which, the policeman on that beat had to leave his post to go in search of the owner or the proprietor of the store for the pur. pose of notifying him of his, or his clerk's, carelessness. A little more careful at tention in bolting windows and fastening doors would save the weary watchman a sight of trouble and tbVparties themselves, probably, the necessity of getting up out of a warm bed on a cold frosty night. The Ancient Bones. For tho past year or two there has been much said relative to the discovery of human bones on the plantation ef A. R. Black, Esq., in the lower part of this county, wh en belonged to the bodies of nobody knows who and nobody knows when There is not much doubt in 'our minds that they are the bones of Indians placed there, perhaps, centuries before the occupancy of this country by the whites. It is well known that the aborigines almost invariably located near some stream where game and fish were abundant, and as a rule buried their dead in one large sepulchre. Several of those mounds or burial places have heen found near this city, and there is every reason to suppose that the bones discovered there were those of some tribe of Indians, who had found en the banks of the Cape Fear many pleasant places on which to pitch their tents. There are two of the mouds, one of which is quite large, near Kenans ville, Duplin county, in this State. Tra dition informs ns that those mounds were burial plaees for a portion the of Tascorora tribe of Indians, who at one time made that an abiding place. Hotel ArrlYaU. Em fir i House. Wilmington N.

The alarm of Ere was souU'Vu this afternoon about 2:15 o'clock by the lire alarm of the First Presbyterian church and in about ten minutes afterwards was taken up by the -Market House I ;ll. rj 'he alarm was caus-d by the burning of tUe roof of a house on the south side of Church, between Second and Third streets. The damage was s ight and the fire was ex tinguished Ixfre the fire deprirtmeat could locate it. The dwelling was occu pied by Mr Gabriel Register. The Dime Festival. Our young fiietds, the children of St. Paul's Lutheran Sunday School, advertise a Dime Festival for m-morrow evening, in this issue, to which we call the atten tion of our reoders. The price is only ten cents, and we hope everybody and all the rest of creation will spare that little amount in encouraging a noble work while adding to the pleasure and enjoyment of all con cerned. Don't forget the place the South side of Market street, in the build ing formerly occupied by the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Company. There is lots of fun in ten cents thu3 bes'.owed. A Revolution in flair Dressing. The masculiue mind will rejjice at the fact that a style of d resting the hair more natural and more simple than has pre vailed for years, is about to come into vogue, The ladies may not fancy :t as well as the huge unsightly mouu U of false hair, filled somethu'-s with filthy abominations, which have heretofore sur mounted the feminine head bur their bus bands and thir friends and their neigh bors will rejoice. Here is what we find about the new style in a recently im ported Paris letter: A noted revolution has just heen ac complished, but be not alarmed, good readers; I am not about to discuss French politics or tho aspects cf the situation. The revolution whereof I speak is wholy a pacific one, yet it will be marked in its efforts, inasmuch as its tendency is to make our pretty American girls look all the prettier. 1 allude to the sudden and marked change that has passed over the heads of tho female society caders of Paris in the matter of arranging their hair. The eld puritan preacher who took for his text, "Top-knot come down" ("Let him that is upon the housetop not come down' ) would surely have felt satisfied with the new fashion All puffs and bows and braids and fussiScations on jthe top of the female bend have vanished into thin air. The Parisian belles now wear their hair simply parted in front and either waved or crimped as behfc suits the style of tho face, and coiled at the back in a braided knot placed rather low. A single large flower placed at one side of this knot and drooping on th neck is the only ornament that fashion now sanctions This new coiffure is not only simple at.d natural, but it is won derfully becoming, the beautiful shapeli ness of the feminine head coming fully into view for the first time in many years. Th suddenness as well as the universal way in which this new sty e has been adopted is very r rnarir.ib'e. DIOCESE OFINORTH CAROLINA I Bishop Atkinson's Appointment?
