Cool and Comfortable,
! 1
What we got yesterday in the way of
weather w;s the fag end of the storm
which has been having such a good time
down in Texas, as foretold by the Signal
Office. It was cool enough here for thicker
clothing than has been worn in four
months past, and last night b anket and
fires were f.und comfortable. To-day; the
weather is bright and beautiful, but ! the
atmosphere is still cool and bracing, At
10 o'clock, this forenoon, the thermometer
was at 73. I
A a ad AnniTersary
To-day twelve months ago the citizens
of Wilmington were called upon to mourn
the death of a prominent citizen cf this
place, Capt. I. B. Grainger, whose
funeral; services were i celebrated iB St.
John's Church in tbia city, on the 28th of
August of last year, the remains having
reached here on the cars the night pre
vious from Pennsylvania, where Captain
Grainger was visiting relatives at the
time of his sudden illness and untimely

Stolen Property Recovered.
l A yawl boat belonging to the German
barque Shanghai, lying at Messrs. Wil
Hams & Murchison's wharf, between
Orange and Ann streets, was stolen last
night and taken, no one knew whither
until the Captain offered a reward of two
dollars for its recovery; when it was soon
discovered lying near Messrs. Kidder &
Sons' steam saw mill in the lower end of
town, and conveyed back to the barque
by two colored men, each of whom claimi
ed the reward, his individual' self. The
Captain settled the matter by giving each
a dram of spirits and they departed
satisfied.

Pretty Things In Jewelry.
Among the pretty things now in Frenoh
jewelry the Lew shapes for ladies' pins
are specially noticeable. These ar little
fans of silver or silver gilt, with the tops
of enamel, and on them are painted little
Japanese figures pr wreaths of flowers.
The sticks forming the ends of the tan are
set with turquoises, and there are little
tassels of gold or silver pendant to them
S me of these pins combine that which is
cruaHiental; they present halt-closed fans,
the ends -being little mirrors shaped like
tiny hand-mirrors set in silver filagree
borders and large enough to reflect astray
curl or an additional freckle. .There are
also little roccup fans with mirrors set in
$he centre, surrounded by imitation
feathers in filagree work. '
Twice Stolen.!
Charles Harper, colored, was arrested
yesterday morning for the larceny of
chickens, the property of Mr. Patrick
Carr. Shortly after the theft was com
mitted Mr. Carr missed his chickens and
instituted a search for them among the
hucksters in the market and came upon
tbem just after Harper had sold them.
He waa arrested, the money turned
over to fhe purchaser and the chick
ens to Mr. Carr, who sent them back
to his hous? . Harper was remanded to
jail in default of bond for his appearance
at a preliminary investigation before a
magistrate this morning. Some one else
took a fancy to the chickens last night
and stole them and up to the. time of 0U4
