It contains a number of able and care fully written papers of importance to the profession in whoso interest and advance ment it is published. The leading editorial article, "A Lesson about Drinking Water," is' a truly able and valuable paper, which we wish could be read by every citizen, or, at least by every head of a family, in this city. It treats of the matter in a candid and dispa ssonate manner, yet it cannot fail to pro duce a shudder in the minds of all who have the vital interests of the city at heart. We wish that the entire article could be presented to the people of the city, or, at least, to the thinking portion of its in habitants, that they might be awakened to the perils with which they are j threat- ened; and we hope that the matter may be brought speedily to the. notice of those in authority, and whose duty it is! to look alter every interest of the people, that they may be warned it. season and take such steps as will remove as far as possi ble th dangers of an epidemic. The writer of the editorial in question deserves much credit" for the manner in which he has called attention to this threatening dauger from the use of impure water.

Hall's book and job printing bouse in this city, a quautity of blotters upon which are a cal endar for the present mouth and his busi ness card. The work is finely executed, aud his name printed io very pale pink, and extending across the entire face of the blotter, in which each indivdual letter is arranged from corresponding letters from a font of ordinary ype, is p-cu!i-tr!y pret j and iu excellent taste. Home Production. Messrs. D. A. Smith & Co. are busy to-day receiving a consignment of furni ture of various kinds, desks, chairs, tablet, bureaus &c. , made at works at Old Fort, in this State, of which Messrs. Smith & Co. are the agents her. They come in various kinds of weed, oak, chestnut, walnut, maple and popular are evidently put up with much care and skill. The finishing touches are given them here. Capt. W. J. Calais, formerly of this city is in charge of th'se works. For the Cape Fear By telegraphic dispatch from Hon. M. W. Rano"i, United States Senator from this State, to A. H. VanBokkelen, Esq. of this city, received yesterday, we are glad to announce that th appropriation for the improvement of the Cape Fear river is $100,000, instead of $25 000, as at first stated. We are pleased to note this inasmuch as the sum appro priated, judiciously expended, will be of great and lasting benefit, while the paltry sum at first reporteJ would be only a waste of the money.

First Assistant Foreman J. N. Husk. Second " E. G. Parmalee Corresponding Secretary A. C. Croft. Recording Secretary H. D. Burkai mer. Treasurer J. Cause. Chief Engineer E. W. Manning.

Cazaux, ot the New York line of steamers, for bringing out the new hose reel. The Convention tf the 0. K, S. B, The Triennial Convention of the Jewish Order Kesher Shel Barztl will be held in the city of New York, at Pythagoras Hall, Nos. 134 and 136 Ganal street, on Sunday morning, March 9 th, and will be called to order at ten o 'slock precisely. The convention, when in session, is styled th Supreme Lodge of the Order, and is composed of one delegate from each subordinate lodge, and will continue in session four or five days, or nntil its business is completed. The Order is a very important and flourishing one, having increased rapidly within the last five years, and has lodges in almost all the principal cities of the United States and Canada. Important matters will eome before the convention for consideration, sneh as con stitutional changes, the ritual, geograph ical boundaries of districts, etc. Mr. S.

There's a sum for you, sonny! See how long it would take for one hen to lay that many eggs, or how many hens it ould require to lay the same number of eggs in one day Hon Kemp P. Battle. We learn that Hen. Kemp P. Battle, President of the University of North Carolina, has written a letter to Rev. Dr Bernbeim, President of the Historical and Scientific Society, of this city, stating that he will deliver a lecture in Wil mington sometime between the 10th of April aud the 3J of May next. We do not know what subject Mr Battle in tends to discus?, but it will probably be something in the interest of the Univer sity. The Colfax. The Rtvenue CHtter Colfax, which is to relieve the Crawford, has not yet arrived here, although she has been daily expec ted for a week past A note from a friend at Wilmington, Dal., dated on Monday, explairs her no a appearance. Our friend writes: "The Colfax left this port for Wilmington, N. C. on the 28th ult, but after proceeds g a few miles down the river she encountered very heavy fields of floating ice which rendered navigation so very difficult that she was obliged to back out and return to port. An examination showed some slight dis turbances, such as copper torn in several places and some of the buckets of the wheels broken. These have all been re paired and the boat will probably start again for your port on or about the 6 th inst. The Colfax has been greatly im proved here. She is now the largest ship in the revenue service on the Atlantic Coast and, In my opinion, the best. The officers at present attached to her are as follows : Frank Barr, Captain; J. U. Rhodes, Lieutenant; M T Chevers, Chief Engineer, and E. P. Webber, Second Assistant Engineer. You will recognize all old friends in this list." The Pat blinders In view of the fact that this Company will appear at the Opera House this even ing, we publish herewith what one ot our nearest neighbors has to say of the performance of the troupe. We clip from yesterday's Raleigh Observer: A fair audience greeted this company last night at Tucker Hall. The piece presented, "Scraps," if piece it can be called, is certainly sui generis, consisting of a succession of burlesques and extrava ganzas, savoring more, perlaps, of opera bouffe than anything else, but with less of plot or connection. But whatever the shortcomings of "Scraps' the actors assuredly found the path to th risibles of their audience, whem they kept in an almost uninterrupted roar of laughter throughout their mirth provoking per formance. On the rendition of their sev eral parts, a feature worthy of praise and imitation by actors of greater pretentions is the life and spiiit which they throw each into his respective role, and maintain without flagging to the end. Upon this mimic scene the "man and brother," as in politics, loomed up in huge proportions, Mr. Sen fro w being welcomed always with shouts of laughter and applause, and doing to perfection not only his absurdities, but bearing him self with equal merit with the "Jaspers" m their creditable grand and lefty tum bling The music is only ordinary, the aria from Girofle Girofla, though given with vim, not being a pleasant reminder of the peerless Aimee; and Miss Jasper too, is best in Dollie Dobbins and Biddy Mnlrooney, in which she is really attrac tive. In his amusing imitations of actors Mr Rogers, perhaps, is the most natural as Fechter; hut the others are well render ad, and one who cannot enjoy a hearty laugh at the Pathfinders must have little appreciation of fun. Ma. Eihtor Review ; Without presuming in the least to die. tate to the different .papers published in our city, the manner in which tbey should be conducted, or the character of the arti cles printed in their columns, yet, In the name of decency, I must protest against the publication of such a disgusting item as the one that appeared in all of our papers on yesterday. The influence of the press upon the morals of a community cannot be overestimated and that iufluence should always b exercised fcr good. Can any' food result in any way from the publica tion, and so much in detail loo, ot such a revolting circumstance as the one to which j I refer ? The papers of the city are wel QOfjM guests in every household in our midst, tny are lead by young and old, male and female, and read uilh avidity, and I respectfully submit that too mu:h oar cannot be taken to avoid the publica tion of anything that would shock iheec sibility of the modest ox wound the piety of the devout.

For the Review. The Western N. C. Railroad. Mr. Editor: Taxing the people of the State about two hundred thousand dollars a year for the benefit oi the Bond holders of this road, is repudiated by the people of the State. The 'people of eastern and middle North Carolina pay twenty-four out of every twenty five dollars that goes into the State Treasury, and to take their substance in this way to carry on this mammoth Western North Carolina railroad scheme that will never bene fit the East is an intolerable burden upon the East. Wealthy bondholders are thus favored to the neglect of internal improvement schemes in the East and in the mud e cf the State that are as important and neoessary to the development and interest of North Carolina as this JWestern N. C R. Road. The men who dig the soil and toil and moil at industrial pursuits want to know why this unfairness and ruinous discrimination is allowed? These mortgagebondholdera are not in Western North Carolina; most of them even reside elsewhere. The people are becoming indignant at being taxed to death to buil rail roads for wealthy holders of railroad mortgage bonds of railroad 3 that will be of service only to certain sections of the State.
