Tne result was that the i i'r.etur'B cows, finding the gate open, eud jut and the gentleman's family, : are used to indulging in cream aud rails at breakfast, had for the nonce to go without their luxuries, and the invader oi the peuiises found himself locked up in lueGuaru House this morning. There beihi; no prosecution, judgment was sus pended and the de'eudant released.

IV. Carelessness in Mailing Letters. Every day or two we have a list of letters to publish, marked as 'unmaiiable,' which are held for postage or because tbey are not properly addressed. A lit- le care in this particular would avoid delay and often times obviate much an n jyance. In the list publish d in this issue two are without any stamps, and oue, directed to Canadian t-own, while it h is the requisite number of stamps f r anywhere in the United Stated, ueeds one m re to take it to its destination. Al' letters directed to a point outside of this country are required to be fu.ly prepaid before they can be sent. A Colored boj Druwned. Henry, a boy of twelve years of age. son of Alex. Price, colored, was sent by bis mother on last Thursday afternoon to Messrs Colville & Cp's mill for a turn o wood. The wood he procured and place;: on the sidewalk liear Mr. J hu. Kutf's storeat the foot of Walnut street, and then started towards the mill in the direction of the river again. This was the last seeu of the boy until yesterday morning his body arose in the river at the foot oi Chestnut strt et. Two eolored meu on a flat near by caught the body and secured it until the Coroner was notified, who straightway impannelled a jury of inquest. As there were no marks of violence on the body and no witness from whom any facts could be eliciUd beyond those stated above, the jury rendered a verdict of supposed accidental drowning. Stand From Under. At the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad machine shops in this city, a' force of hands i3 employed in putting in the foundation for, and putting in position, the anvil to be used in connection with a mammoth steam hammer which has just been procured by the Company to be used in forging the heavy irou work. The anvil weighs 20 "000 pounds, and is placed upon a foundation in which 400 cubic feet of rock and 4,000 feet of lumber have been used to give stability to the immense weight and to resist the. force of the blows. The hammer weighs 3,000 pounds, yet the machinery by which it moves is so nicely and delicately adjusted that a filbert may be cracked by it with out injury to the kernel, or a blow may be given of almost incalculable force. The anvil and hammer, with the roachin ery for the same, are from the manufac tory of Messrs. Bement & Sons, of Philadelphia, and will probably be in working order in a few days. Causes of Diphtheria- As a matter of interest at this time, and in view of the fact that the Board of Uealth have inaugurated a determined attack on all enemies of the public health we quote the 'following from Dr. Snow, an eminent physician and registrar of the city of Providence, R. 1 , in his last re port : In connection with this subject I thoik it my duty to ask the attention of the people of Providence, and especially of pareuts, to the following statements: 1 No case of diphtheria occurs with out an adequate cause. This' is self- evident. 2 The cause of nearly all cases of the disease exists m the bouses or premises, or withiua few feet of the bouses where the cases occur. 3. The cause of nearly all cases that occur in the city is breathing impure air from p:ivy vaults or sink drains or cesspools; or drinking impure water. Much observation and long-continued aud careful investigation have perfectly satisfied me of the truth of these proposi tions, and they are applicable to all cases, whether iu the tenements of the poor or in the maLsions of the rich. The Fire this Morning. About 3 o'clock th;s morning the alarm of hie was s ninded, indicating a conflagration in the First Fire District. It was occasioned by the burning of two small wooden buildings, ou the corner of Third and Bladen streets, beloniug to Willi im K -Hogg, a colore 1 man. The building were near together, and one was used as a kitchen, while the other was unoccupied save a? a storeroom. This latter had been recently rented, but the tenant had not yet taken posses sion It was in tbis that th3 fire origi nated but as there had been no lire in the building since last Friday, it was without doubt the work of ao ibcendiary. Tnere was insurance to the amount of $200 on the property, which will probably cover the loss. Very fortunately it was a still night, or quile a number of buildings, which are there huddled closely together, would h vc been destroyed. r Daily i mm m -- i mm - WILMINGTON, N. C, Hasi Hiiu Around, Bcethren! We iearu from the flout that a dis honest jeweler, giving bis name as Nelson, recently walked out of Durham with eev- eral watches ana some jewelry be'on&iug to the citizens of that place. Tlie saint c'lap has been operating in this portion of the county. During the month of April he ' set up shop ' in Smitbville ano v aiaeo on iroui mere wicu war. cues au . ewelry. He gave nis name as J. J. ! NeUon, but his mail came directed to l ! ivey. He claims to be a Frenc'i Canad ian and atated that he h id been m jail in S-uth Carolma for murder, but that he Was the victim ot "the fellow who looks :ike ma" and was released. It is the im pression of those who saw him that if he iiad been in jail he cut his way out, as he was always telling how easy it was t effect an escape by the means of a ; ieoe of watch spring from any jail, and said he always carried apiece with h:m. tie told big yarns, and st.ted that he had challenged a man in Georgia, aDd tor tLat reason had changed his name. He eager ly scanned every paper he could lay his hands on and seemed to be looking foi something. He was well versed in. Biblical matters and seemed " to take a deep interest in Sunday Schools, prayer meetings etc. The general impreasion conveyed by him upon the minds of intelligent people was that he was a most consummate fraud and hypocrite. It would be well for persons to be on their guard, and hunt the pious fraud down. The Closing: of the Inlet Let us Have a Public Demonstration- Now that a due appreciation on the, part of our cit izens has been acknowledged in a proper manner by a meeting calleJ for that purpose, of the important pail that our esteemed fellow-citizen, Henry Nutt, Esq., has taken in the great work of Kiver and Bar improvements, would it not bj a wise aud proper movs also for our merchauts and citizens generally to make some public demonstration of the import ant event which has lately transpired, viz: the closing of Ne v Inlet .' That, the closing of this Inlet is an important work towards the commercial prosperity of this city, the tes tinony of every scieutific engineer who has ever made a government survey of this coast and river will bear witness. Amo: g the first to declare this opinion was the eminent United States officer of the En gineer Corps, who visited this city many years ago, and was the guest of the late P. K. Dickinson, Esq. We allude to Piofessor Bache. This gentleman ventured the opinion that unless the New Inlet was closed we would eventually be without a bar alto gether. But our purpose iu this article was simply to suggest the propriety of some public demonstration in honor of the completion of such an important unG dertaking, and we would further suggest that it should not be simply a local de monstration but let it be State wide. A gentleman of this city, a member of a prominent Water street firm, who h as just returned from Raleigh, says that during his recent visit to the Capital he hid numerous inquiries propounded to him by persons from every section of the Stite in regard to (his great event, the closing of the Iolet. It was something that no oue in other portions of the State had expected or looked for. His Excels lency, Gov. Jarvis, wa also understand thinks that some demonstration ought to be made, and siguified his willingness to attend at any time, and so did other prom inent efticials of the State, among them Col. Wm. Johnston, of Charlotte, Presi dent of the State Board of Public Works Here is an opportunity offered lor our citizens to briug together the representa tives from every section oi the State to our own doors. People from the moun tains aud our extreme Northern and Western borders, who have so far shown no community of interest with this sec tion, may come and bring their sisters and their cousins and t eir aunts. There is an intimation in the inquiries made by gentlemen from other parts of the State that they are retlly beginning to realixe the fact that Wilmington is within the boundaries of North Carolina, and a demonstration of tbe kind mentioned may be the beginning of an awakening on the part of North Carolinians everywhere to a little more State pride, which may culmi nate in a little more patronage of our home inst tu tions instead of visiting the commercial ports of our neighbors on the North and to the South of us. Who among our citizens will be tbe first to move in this matter of a public State de monstration, of rejoicing over the long wished for closing of New Iulet? KEYIEW. MONDAY, JUNE 23, 1879. Go West.

Sorter, of f nis city, one of i u most enterprising merchants, leaves here to-iuorrow tuoruiug for New York, where he will sail in a few days tor Europe Mrs Shrier is now ou a visit to her parents' in Bremerhaven aud Mr S will join her there, when after a lew weeks passed with old fneuus they will together visit many prominent cities of Europe and probably go as far South as iioiut. They will return to this country in September when Mr. Shrier will .tp in New York to make bis Fall purchases. Walked Over boa id Saturday nigbt about 1 lVck.amau who had been indulging in too much of the bug juice of tbe Hollow ma le a narrow escape from deatn ty drowning. It is thought that the inebriate turned down Chestnut from Water street, thinking that he was heading tor Front street. He walked off the wharf into the river and as he went under Mr. John T. Flowers, the watch man on the wharf of the New York and Wilmington Steamship Company, heard his cry for help and saw about a hundred yards when he ran the man and hooked him out with a stick. The steamship's watchnian came to Mr. Flowers' assist ance and the two pulled the man out. Soap as a Board of Health. Thoe who ro at ail afraid of epi demic disease may feel comforted, on hearing that one of the best protective measures they can resort to is a very simple one the use of soup and water. An eminent physician says: 'It ie worth while for common people to learn that 50,000 typhus germs wilt thrive in the circumference of a pin head or a visible globule. 1 is wortb while for them to note that ttiese germs may be & esicated and be borne like thistle seeds, evenw'iere, and-K like demonical possessions, may jump noiselessly down any throat. But there are certain things spores cannot stand, according to the latest ascertained re sul s of science. A water temperature of 120 degrees bo Is them to death, and soap chemically poisons them. Here sanitary and microscopie science come together. Spores th tve in low ground and under low conditions of life. For redemption, fly to hot water and soap, ye who live in danger ol ma larial poisoning. Hot water is saui tary. Soap is more sanitary. Fight typhus, smallpox, yellow fever and ague with soap. Soap is a board of health. Keep the Dwelling-house Dry, A warm and dry atmosphere is not un wholesome, but when cloudy or rainy weather brings a sultry air which damp ens everything around us, the atmosphere may be loaded with the germs of disease, and fire is needed to destroy them. The walls, the ceilings and floors of apartments, should never be allowed to become damp Sometimes, when the warmth of the air is ODpressive, tire is more necessary to preserve health than it is at another tea son to protect us from the cold of winter; aud the rooms ot a dwalling should never bo left without the means of warming and drying. Investigations have shown that some of the most fatal diseases are caused by the germs of vege table and animal life, and that a humid atmosphere is most favorable to their pro pagation. It is, therefore, but prudeu to avail ourselves of the gre it discoveries of the age, and to pr tect ourselvi s from scourges which so fearfully Bui let when we ign re the dangers around us. Apartments exposed to the full action of the sun may be less c mtoi tab!e in hot weather than those from which the sun's rays are excluded, but thy are more wholesome, ard when contagious diseas es prevail iu c'osely built cities, it i found that toe iumates of bouses on tb,tt sile of the street exposed to the suu are less liable to be attacked; while the greatest number of sick are always found where there is the least exposure to tne great disinfector tbe sun.
