At the meeting ot the Board of Alder men, held last Monday evening, citizens residing iu the Southern portion of the city petitioned for a bridge to be con structed over a culvert at the Corner ol Second and Dawson streets, that will ob viate the necessity of going arouud to Front and Dawson, or Fourth and Daw son, in hauliag wood from the mills in that section of the city. The matter was referred t j the Mayor and Chief of Police with authority to act. Petition from certain citizens near the corner of Fourth and Woester streets, where property, it is alleged, was injured by grading tu streets -n that locality in 1870, for a stone wall or masonry work , was likewise referred to the Mayor and Chief of Police with authority to act. The same ordinance in relation to dogs passed by the Board of Aldermen last year will go into effect from and after the first of Jane next. By this ordinance every owner of a dog is compelled to list the same and pay a tax of one dol lar, if a male dog,and three dellars.if a fe male dog. Literary. L'Abjommois. A. torel. By Emi!e Zela, From the French by John Stirl ing. Philadelphia : T. B. Peterson & Brothers. Wilmington: P. Heinsberger. The publication in English of this, the greatest novel of the great Freuch realistic novelist, is, in all senses, an ex periment. The 'L'Assommcir probes to vhe uttermost depths the springs of deg ladation and depravity among the lower orders of the Parisian population, and the picture presented has not a eiagle touch of varnish. There it is in all its hideous and sickening reality; even the coarse local slang is reproduced in such boldness as to make the reader start, and Zla stops at aething. He takes bis subject as he finds it, and reproduces it with the most scrupulous fidelity. Such a novel and sach a novelist as the 'L'Assommoir' and Zola are new to the American public and Mr. Stirling, at the instance of his publishers, has undertaken the herculean task of purifying tbe ' Assommoir,' that our readers may get the gist of the great book and yet not be shocked. It is but just to say that he has done his work with mnch skill and judgment. DouBMer. A Russia story. By Henry Greville. Philadelphia; T. B. Peterson & Borthers. Wilmington: P. Heinsberger. "Dournof" was written in Russia dm ing Madame Greville ' residence in St. Petersburg and is a graphic story of Russian life, containing careful studies of Russian character, which are admirable, and is superior to some of her other works. The story bears some resemblance to "Dosia' and to "Pretty Little Countess Zina," but is more interesting, all the characters being master-pieces of charac ter drawing, while there is an ease ana naturalness about eaea of the characters that mak.8 the volume very entertaining and very enjoyable. One gets a good deal of valuable hiatcry, and of interest ing facts pertaining to the people of Russia, from such stories as this. Woman's Wboio. By Mrs Eiloart. Philadelphia: T. B. Peterson fc Brothers Wilmington: P. Heinsberger. Woman's Wrong, a Book for Women, by Mrs. Eiloart, makes the thirty-first volume issued of "Peterson s Dollar Series of New and Good Books," which are a large good and handsome as well as popular and cheapseries of books. They are published and sold at one dollar each. Mrs. Eiloart has won extensive pop ularity ia tbis country as well as in Eng land, and in her new work of fiction, entitled " Woman's Wrong, A Book for Women," she has a well constructed plot, original and natural characters, and the most charming sketches of society in various phases of life. She has bee a moet happy in drawing her characters and des criptions, and has hit upon an ingenious plot, or rather on a plot involving a most interesting point, which is invented with originality, and is worked a out skillfully to the end, being an entirely true yet graphic description of the legal wrongs that English wives and mothers wedded to worthless husbands are compelled to endure. A Busy Place. At the steam saw mill of Messrs. Col ville & Taylor, on Ae wharf at the foot of Walnnt street, about 30,000 feet of urnber are Sawed daily.

The following report relative to the capture and trial of one i Doc Matthews, a traia, wrecker, is forwarded to us by our correspondent at Rocky Point: 3ockt Point, N. O., May 6th, 1879. Eaixoa Review: Our usually quiet little town is the scene of unusual interest to-day, in the fact that an important criminal trial has taken place, before a court of four magistrates. One Doc. Matthews, colored, living near here, was arrest ed last evening upon a charge of at tempting to obstruct the st.fe passage of the train upon the railroad at a point a few miles below this tUce. The court consisted of our township magistrates, D T Durham, A Gamberg, and L S Armstrong, and R N Blood worth, of fiurgsw, who had the pris oner arrested, yesterday. The trial was patient and protracted, and full and fair. It was proved conclusively that this negro was caught in the very act of cutting tbe crosa , ies and tearing up the spikes of the road-bed in such a way as to endanger the safe passage of the trains. The chief witness against him was Henry Bracnock, I a colored man, who swears that he came upon Matthews while he was cutting away the cross-ties end tearing up the spikes. The attempt was not success ful, owing to the smooth and excel lent condition of the road. Other S ate witnesses were examined. The entire evidence was confirmatory of the truthfulness of the oharge. The prisoner was found guilty and bound over to the next term of Pender Su perior Court, which convenes on Mon day, the 20th of June. In default of bail he was committed to jail. A sim ilar attempt was made the night pre vious upon the road and near the same spot, but was unsuccessful. This was the third attempt to wreck the train in nearly the same place on tbe road. The first at tempt was about a year ago, and just above North East Bridge. There is mnoh feeling in the community on the subject, because of a suspicion that those three attempts to injure the road and to destroy human life are con cocted and spring from one common source. Ciroamstanc induce the suspicion that this guilty negro is the dope and tool of others. It need not surprise you to learn hereafter that investigation has led to developments thsjt xnvoivw other parties in tneee malignant and outrageous efforts. The weather has been rather tough on spring chickens, and tbey show it. 7, 1879. NO. 77 MEMORIAL DAY -1879. Friday, May 9. The procession will form 10 minutes before 3 and move promptly at 3 o'clock.

Report of Soundings- Tho pilots make the following report of soundings at the mouth of the river for tbe month of April: Bald Head Channel 10 feet 3 inches Western Bar Channel... 12 ' 00 ' Rip Bar Channel 7 00 f Aboriginal Relics. At a point on the Masouboro turnpike, about six miles from the city, two arrow heads were found yesterday, which probablj belonged to some Indian brave in the years that have passed. A year or two ago a skull, probably that of an Indian, was found very near the same place. It's funny, but a soft-palmed woman can pass a hot pie plate to her neighbor at the table with a smile as sweet as dis t illed honey, while a man w;th a hand as horny as a crocodile's back will drop it to the floor and howl around like a Sioux Indian at a scalp dance.
