A weli-kLown citizen of this place met
with a very paiuful accident Ir.st Saturday
night. W bile on his way bonir, tnd when
nsssino- alor.ff Chestnut stnef. East of

arm falliug under him, oe of the bones
was broken near the elbow. As scon as
he could recover himself Le went a once
to a physician atd received the necessary
attention. We are pleased to learn that,
the irrjury is not very severe and that our
friend will be at his effice again in a day
or :wol although it w'lFbe weeks befoie
he can use h:s a.m again.

City Court.
Two cases were up before the Mayor
this morning, the charges beipg disord
erly conduct in one instance and drunk
and disorderly in the other. Tho.nas
Mills, colored, was the first) called, but
judgment was suspended in this case upon
payment of costs. ,
Washington Green, alias Wash Nutt,
was next arraigned for being both drunk
and disorderly and was sentenced to pay
the costs, amounting to 81.70, after which
he was permitted to make himself scarce,
or in ether words to take his departure,
which he immediately proceeded to do.
The Difference.
On Saturday night last, in company
with a friend, we took a stroll through
the business portion of the city; and we
were struck with the great inequality
with which the trade seemed to be divi
ded. Afier noticing the fact we directed
our attention, especially, to two stores,
dealing exclusively in the same goods;
one of thera'was lit up brilliantly, and the
proprietor, with four or five clerks, was as
busy 'as a bee and the customers were
coming and going in regular succession,
while in the other the lights gave unmisu
takable evidence of a closeness too close
to even buy kerosene at 12 cents a gal-.
Ion, and the serenity of the proprietor, as
he sat with his feet above his head, was
seldom disturbed by the calls of buyers.
Our friend asking us why is thit? We
pulled from our pocket a copy of the Re
view and pointing to a well-displayed ad
remarked that probably jthis had some
thing to do with it. Stepping into the
8 tore of the busy merchant and remark',
ing that he "seemed to be doing quite a
lively business to-ciht,'' be remarked,
"yes, I have not yet had time to go to
supper.'''
We think it would pay some of our
merchants who .complain of "dull times'i
and whoso namea never appear in an al
vertisemcnt in the papers to ttap onts'de
of their stores somo Saturday eight and
view the scene themselves. We are sure
they might profit by it.

Brunswick Court.
The October term cf Brunswick coun
ty Superior Court convened at Smithville
this morning, Ilia Honor, Judge Ssyraour,
presiding. Several members of the Wile

this evening to be in attendance upon the

Coal and Wood
We invite attention to the advertise
ment of Mr J. A. Springer's wood and
coaLyaxdjaa. it appears: in. this issue.
He is locatnow near the foot of Chest
cut street and has excellent facilities. He
proposes to sell coal and wood at the
lowest rates and invites the attention of
o'd and new customers to these facts

We haven't heared any one com lain
today in regard to the weather. The'
iidications as published by us On Satur
day were correct and the thermometer fell
same 15 degrees in about twenty-four
hours. The change was inaugurated
yesterday by a heav rain and the pros
pects are now for ,a vpe'l of continue!
cold weather.
Miss Adah Richmond.
lhe'prcspects are good for a fine house
to greet Miss Richmond this evening. We
are glan of this as we can assure our
readers that it is a first-class troupe
They played in Raleigh all last week, to
full houses, and the Observer and News
are both loud in their j praise. They tell us
that Fatinitza is a charming playjand com
mend Miss Richmond and her troupe to
the people of this city. It is not tho first
time this charming and sprightly ac
tress has visited our city and many will
remember how she took all hearts by
stoimduring a short engagement at ourl
Opera House last Winter. We trust that
a substantial welcome will be accorded to
her on this occasion .
I A Convenient Schedule.
The present schedule between this city
and New York is a very convenient one
for our people. A merchant can leave
here now on the morning train for the big
city, arrive in New York the next morn
ing, spend one day or more, as his neces
sities may requite, and then return here
in a day and a night's travel. This is
what Capt. Mdntire did. He left hero
last Monday morning for New York and
returned on Friday night, having spent
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in
buying his second stock ol Fall and Win
ter goods. I
Temple of Israel.
Pursuant to a notice published by Mr
S. Hanstein, Chairman of the School
Committee, a large assemblage of ladies
and gentlemen of the.Hebrew faith gather
ed at the vestry room of the Temple of
Lrael last night. ,
At precisely 8 o'clock Mr. Hanstein!
took the chair and called the meetin g to
order, requesting Mr. H. Brunh lld,one of
the School Committee, to act as Secretary.
The chair then stated the object' of the
meeting, after which, by request, Mr.
A. Weill made a brief and pertinent
address. He was followed by Mr. Sam
uel Bear, Jrl one of the ass'siant teachers,
who urged the necessity of action. The
pastor, Rev. Dr. S. Mendelsohn, was in
vite to address the audience, and respon
ded at length, appealing as their minister
and teacher for aid and cooperation,
which wo are aware, so his words of ad
monition1 as feelingly expressed, found
their way into the hearts of all present.
After their pastor had concluded his re.
marks, Mr. A. Weill offered a series of
resolutions pledging the aid and co-oper-tion
of every member and seat-holder of
the congregation to accomplish this earn
est desire the strict - discipline and in
struction of their little ones in the
religion of their fathers and their educa
tion, in the Hebrew and German lan
guages. The most entire harmony
prevaL'ed and the meeting was both
pleasant and profitable.
