Reward their Services.
Offi ers Banting and Carr have dis
played a commendable amount of energy
and shrewdness in ferretting out the
gang of thieves which has just resulted
in the arrest of W. H. Bjoyette. We think
these officers deserve the thanks of the
community for the zeal shown by them
in the cause, but we would suggest that
inasmuch as the fees in the case
amount to little or nothing, some
thing a shade msre tangible from the
School Committee or County Commis
sioners would show a better apprecia
tion of the services performed.

The University Normal School.
The Gnefal Assembly having con
tinued the appropriation to the Normal
Schoio s, the S ate Board of Education
have organized the woik for 1879. Ihe
University Normal School will open
Tuesday, June 17th 1879, and continae
six wjeeks. A lull corps of trained teachers
hive been selected for the School, and the
work will be prosecuted with renewed in
tetest. The Superintendent of Public In
struction has supplied the County School
Examiners with circulars and the teachers
are requested to call on ihem for the

School. Be there at the opening and re

Seward Channel.
The work of digging out the bar in Bald
Head or Seward Channel by the steamer
Woodbury is progressing finely. Capt. J.
T. Harper, her commander, tells us that
she digs out abou one hundred yards of
sand a day. The Woodbury is now in
this port having some work done on her
shoes which have not worked as !well as
they were expected to do. Pilots think
there has been some change for the better
in the depth of water on the bar. The
Woodbury has only been at work a
little over two weeks and it is thonght
that as soon as the necessary . alterations
are made to her shoes much better results
will accrue.
Professor Anderson and Miss Grey.
Professor Anderson and Miss Grey
gave a very pleasing little entertainment
at the Opera House last evening, hut as
on the previous night their audience was
small. The entertainment was opened
with sleight of hand tricks by Prof.Ander
3on. As a magician we look upon him
as being well up in his business. Miss
Grey lectured on Spiritualism, spoke of
its progress, and commenced her illustra
tions of the "powers of spiritualism" by
"mind reading," then gave cabinet scenes
and wound ap by exposing to the view
the audience three "ghostesses." As a
spiritualist she is a failure but is a clever
legerdemain artiste. Her "mind reading '
wa3 simple and easily understood and
would have taken much better with the
audience had she told them that it
was only a trick which she would clever

Yellow Fever.
We are under obligations to Dr. J. C.
Walker, "Superintendent of Health for the
City of Wilmington, for the following cir
cular relative to the recent cases of yel
low lever on board the United States
steamer riymoulh, from Dr. J. B. Ham
ilton, Surgeon General U. S. Marine Hos
pital Service:
The Surgeon tteueral of the U. S. Navy
has furnished the foliowiug facts in regard
to the recent outbreak of yellow tever on
the U. S. Steamer Plymouth. On Nevern.
ber 7 h last, four cases of yellow fever oc
curred on board the vessel while lyiug in
the barber of ciautayOuz; these were re
moved to the hospital on snore and the
ship sailed for Norfolk. Three mild cases
occurred during the voyage aud the
Plymouth was ordereto Portsmouth, N.
H , thence to Boston. At the latter port
everything was removed frem the ship
and all parts of the interior freely exposed
to a temperature which frequently fell
below zero, the exposure continuing for
more than a month. During this time
the water in the tanks, bilges, asd in
vessels placed in the store rooms was
frozen. 100 pounds of sulphar was barned
below decks, this fumigation contiuning
for two days, and the berth decks, holds,
and store rooms wero thoroughly white
washed. On March the loth, the ship
sailed from Boston southward; on the
19tb, during a severe gale, the hatches
had to be battened down and the berth
deck became very close and damp. On
the 23 1, two men showed decided symp
toms of yellow fever, and on the recom
mends ion of the Surgeon, the vessel was
he ided northward. The sick men were
isolated, and measures adopted for im
proving the hygienic condition of the
vessel and orew The Surgeon reported
that he believed the infection to be con
fined to the hull of the ship, especially to
the unsound wood about the berth deck,
all the cases but one having occurred with
in a limited area; and that while the Py
moulh is in good sanitary condition tor
service in temperate climates, should sh
be sent to a tropical station, probably no
precautionary measures whatever would
avail to prevent an outbreak of yellow
" fever.

Intercepting Letters.
The Raleigh Observer tails atttentioa
to the fact that section 3,830 of the Re
vised Statutes provides th it any person
who shall take auy letter, postal card or
packet'.Mu a postoffice, or from a carrier,
or which has been in the custody of a
carrier, before it has been delivered to
the person to whom it is directed, with
a design to obstruct the correipoudence,
or pry into the business or secrets of an
other, or shall secrete, embezzle or destroy
the same, shall be punished by a fine not
exceeding $500, or imprisonment at hard
labor for not more than a year, or fcy both.
It is net necessary that the letter be sealed
it may be only a postal card; the offence
consists in obtaining possession of it in
any way after it has been pasted, and
reading it before it comes into possession
of the person to whom it is addressed.
New Inslgnias for the Police.
The Mayor has just received by ex
press from New York fifty-two neat and
handsome new badges for the police
force, including one for the Mayor and
Chief of Police, each. The new badges,
or shields as theyare called in the invoice,
are larger than the old ones, with the
words " Wilmington Police" on them
surmounted by an eagle. The badge of
the officers differsslightly from the privates
having the words Sergeant,or Captain, in
serted, as the case may be. The mayor's
and the Chief of Police's are alike in the
make up,the only difference being the title
inscribed upon each badge. The two
latter have the appearance of being. gld
plated, but we have the Chief's word for
it that they are solid;" the oth ;rs are
silver plated in appearance.
The old badges have been circulated
so promiscuously around during four ad-min-strations
and are now in the b.3Lli
of so many who are not mem? ers f the
police force that it was deem id necessary
to change the style and adopt anew in
signia altogether, as has been done.

sounded. The Fire Department wre at

SECOND r.Ar.M.
The fire alarm was sounded this morn
ing about 3 o"clock,causod by the burning
of a dwelMng bouse near the corner of
Walnut and Sixth streets, occupie 1 by a
colored family and owned by Mr. Charle.
Elwell. The fire department were
promptly - on the spot but could not
succeed in extinguishing the flames before
the house was destroyed. Most of the
furniture of the family living in the house
waa saved. There was an insurance of
$500 on the dwelling; but it is n t
enough to cover the loss. The policy
was in the Wilmington Mutual Insurance
Company of this city.
Evidence Accumulating Against W-H-Foyelte,
Colored. "Commission
Merchant," Church Robber, School
House Thief, etc-, etc., etc., etc.
Officers Bunting and Carr carried an ¬
other dray load of books, etc., to. their
office this morning, which were captured
in a house in an alley, runn.ng through
from Front to Second, between Market
and Dock s reels, which were claimed ty
"W-H. Boyette, Commission Merchant."
Boyette is evidently a man of versatility
of tastes, and among his plunder was
found school books, Bibles, music, cate
chisms, Sunday school books, a melodeon,
dish-pans, stove, door-mats, clock, bel s
household goods generally,and a fine water
proof piano cover,1 which had been cut up
and made into a coat. He was not bigoted
in his religious belief, neither was be pre
judiced in favor of or against the faith of
any denomination, and that he visited all
churches admits cf no doubt from the fact
thiAt he had books belonging to all sects
and creeds.
He seems to have been a great student
for be handled "his' bjoks very often, in
writin his name through them, and if he
perused the pages of the many 'Histories
of the World' found in his possession,
he is certainly the best posted mau iu the
city as to the history oi the wcrld, begin
ning at the creation of the same and
running up to the prcseut da e. He is
also a classical scholar and was anxious to
find out Some of the truths contained in
the Talmud as he had some half dozen
catecnibms(wriUen in Hebrew)for the use
of Jewish schools. Iu one of the books
over the place where the owner's namel
was written, was the foliowiug, which will
show that he was a poetic child of nature.
"This is the property of W. fl. Boy
tte. You must not steal it for you have
read the Holy Scriptures and it says:
tnou shall not steal, and now think of that
and don't steal this.
Royal W U. Boyette."
Some of the bib'es were identified as
the property of St. Mark's Episcopal
Church. The melodwOa was identified by
Capt. W. R. Kenan as ene loaned by him
some time ago for the use of the Union
fcichool. The catechism 3 have bean
claimed by the Temple of Israel.
Books the property of St. Thomas'
Church and Peabody school hive also been
claimed. The clock, pjiano cover and
some of the books are supposed to be
thos3 stolen from the school roosa in the
rear of St. James' Church. A number of
teachers will assemble at Squire Garduer's
office this afternoon to see if they can
ident fy the books not already o'aime 1,
and we are requested o say that any one
who has lost property is invited to exam
ine the plunder. A brand new cook stove,
minus pots and pipe, is among the
"scooped"' articles, also a tract entitled
Wh-at is Fame WrLu?'' Wo can not
answer the question without reflection
but think Boyette 's fame will cost him
several ears in the penitentiary.
What is the use of a fellow's paying
$150 for a phonograph, when 00 in
vested in sweets and peanuts, and 50 lbs
of lint cotton in the fall, for a marriage
certifiicate, will give you a life lease on a
talking machine that never requires any
tin foil on the cylinder escapement 7
