A match game of base ball will be played at Ililton to-rnorrcw afternoon by the Wilmington Mutuals and Red Stock ing nines, both formed of colored boys of this city. The Feitival given at the City Hall last evening in aid of St. Marks colored Episcopal church was largely attended and must have been very successful in a financial way. The break in the telegraph cable under the Cape Fear river, mentioned by us yes terday, was succssf jlly repaired during the afternoon and the wires are now work' ing again between this city and Smith- vi lie. i The Recent Rains. Capt. Garrason, of the steamer D, Murchisan, which arrived here last night, reports that the recent rains have been very severe in Fayetteville and the sur rounding section. Considerable damage haa been done to mill property on the creeks and considerable of a rise in the river is expect d. The water had risen ten feet when he left Fayetteville yester day morning, at 7 o'clock, and was still rising at that time, although slowly.

A disastrous fire is reported to us on Moore o Creek, in Pender county, on last Sunday afternoon. A dwelling house oc cupied by Mr. J. Hollings worth was en tirely consumed, together with a large portion of that gentleman's furniture. The fire is supposed to have caught from a defect iu the chimney ef the kitchen, which was connected with the house. The building was owned by Mr. Arch. Taylor, whs resides at Burgaw, and was worth about $1,200. There was no in surance on either the building or its con tents. TUundor and Lightning. Quits a sharp thunder storm passed over this city this morning about 6 o'clock and torrents of rain deeendsd for near the space of an hour, during which time vivid flashes of lightning, accompan ied by loud reports of thunder, rent the air. The damage from the rain was slight, if any, but the lightning played sad havoc with the lightning rod on the stee- pis of the First Presbyterian church, sever ing it in twain at about the point where the steeple rizes from the roof of the church, then leaping on the roof, aud scattering the slating aronnd promiscu ously in the yard below. The slating on the steeple near the pinnacle came in for a share of the damage, the slating having been torn off and scattered to the street below. We were not able to get an esti mate of the damage done, but presume that $50 or $75 ' will cover the whole amount. The Concert last Night. The Front Street M. E. Church was crowded to its utmost capacity last night to listen to the singing of the pupils ef the Sunday School, and all who had any ap preciation of good music were delighted. The programme was carried out in its en tirety and the pieces selected, with one or two exceptions, were rendered in perfect time and tune. The artless tinging of two or three very little girls was sweet and touching, and the audience paid an invol untary homage to the power cf song by keeping the most profound silence so that their small, sweet voices could bs distinct ly hears. The organist, Mrs. Poisson, deserves much credit for the able perform ance ef the duties devolving upon hsr, both at the organ and as a vocalist. Mr. Bowden, the conductor, proved himself equal to the difficult task of directing so large a choir of singers, the most of whom were untrained, and nearly or quite a hundred in number. A collection was taken up when the performance was half through, which ws hope resulted satisfactorily. The only disturbance which occurred to mar the delights ef the evening was oc casiened by a lot of youngsters who, without any regard for the feelings of others, or any regard for the courtesy due to the singers, while "Sweet Home" was being sung, completely destroyed the beauty of the piece, to the intense annoy ance of those who wished to listen, by trampisg through the galleries to get out in season. Ws cannot rebuke such rep rehensible conduct as we think it deserves, but it is very annoying to the listeners and absolutely insulting to the singers. More raw and some terrific and lightning early this morning. fViTTTT VAihl Review. Ice. Death or Mrs. Hicks. By adverti fnaent in thi3 issue of tbe I rs- Sal lie Stone Hicks, second daugh Revikw it will be seen that Mr. B. II.

Leak, E-o, , of Rich mono couirty, a gbotleman of promiieuce, abil ity and influence, who was well known throughout the State, died at his residence iu Rockingham on Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. He was born in 1779 and was something over 80 years of age at the time of his death. He was graduated at Chapel Hill in the same class with Presideut Polk and Bishop Green The International Po tal Card. ThePostofhce Department has approved a design for the new international two- cent-pbstal card. On the upper left hand corner are the words "Union Postal Union. United States of America" in English and also in French. Oa the right upper corner is the stamp, with the head of Liberty, surrounded by a ribbon border, with a monogram U. S., at the top, and buckle at the bottom, and the figure 2 in octagon blocks on either side. In the upper half of the circle are the words "Postal Card," and in the lower halt "Two Cents." The card has a'so a neaf border on the address side . important to Tobacconists. A circular is being sent to all the bacco dealers in the country by promi nent tobacco manufacturers of New York city stating that an effort will be made to get a bill through Congress al lowing the tobacco dealers t rebate on their stock of tobacco on which has been paid the twenty .-four per cent tax. They are, therefore, advised, by May, 1, to take account of the stock of tobacco on hand and have it properly attested be fore a notary public, iu order that there may be no question of the validty of their claims in case the bill passes. The pro visions of such a bill would give to the 0 450,000 tobacco dealers in the country a rebate of eight cents on every pound of tobacco now in their store, except that which is in the fortj of cigars and cigar ettes. A Mail Pouch Stolen- Some days since it was ascertained by Col. Brink, Postmater here, that a mail pouch which had passed through this city en route for Flerida, had been rob bed somewhere S juth of this point. He immediately began investigation and yes terday the pouch was recovered and one of the rogues was captured and is now in jail; It has been developed that the mail from which the bag was taken was not in charge of a route agent, but in transit, under care of a condactor; that it was ta ken from a car atCnarlsston while the mail matter was in transit from the North eastern to the Charleston & Savannah trains, and was rifled and buried by a col ored train hand by the name of George Davis, who lived in this city. Davis was captured yesterday and lodged in jail and will be examined before U. S. Commissioner McQuigg, in the District Court Room, to-morrpw morning, at 10 o'cl ck. In the meantime some other developments have been made. There is another party in the county jail, also named D .vis, and also colored, who was sent there a few weeks ago for the larceny of a pair of shoes and this individual made affidavit to-day that he was concerned in the robbery and that two others, whom he named, werebis con fed erates. Col. Brink questioned the man closely and is puzzled to decide whether or net his tale is a true one, but the matter will be investigated fully to-morrow. He is particular in his description of the method of the robbery and the concealing of the poach and states that he and his confederates got $30 in money from the letters. The stolen pouch is now in Col. Brink s possession, at the Postoflbe. Alter hav ing been eat open and rifled the letters were thrust back into 'the bag when it was buried .in the salt mud near the Northeastern depot. The letters are very much defaced and some of them utterly illegible. Such of them as can be deci phered, which wjll probably be about ns-third4f the lot, will be forwarded to their destination, while the remainder will be sent to Washington City. 30, L8?9.
