they may fee induced to come again.
Death of Dr. Pavis.
As was foreshadowed by us in yester
day's issue, the death of Dr. W. W. Davis
was announced this morhing. He died at
the residence of Mr. Samuel Davis, on
Eighth, between Market and Dockjstreets,
aged C5 years. ; i
Dr. Davis was a scion of one ot the
oldest and at one time most prosperous
families in the Cape :Fear section. He
was an accomplished gentleman, an
excellent physician and a kindly,
genial, whole fiouled man. He leaves two
sons, one of whom is now in California
and the other, we think, in Georgia.

Adjournment .of Brunswick. Court.
The fall term of Superior Court for
Brunswick county, which1 convened at
Smithville on Monday of this week at 10
a. m., adjourned the next day, Tuesday
afternoon, at j 3 o'clock and Judge and
J ury, together with the members of the
Bar in attendance, dispersed in the direc
tion of their different homes last night.
Judge Seymour and the s:veral lawyers
from this city who attended the Court,
reached here last night on the Passport.
From one of the latter we learn that
there were only three cases given to the
jury one of which was on the civil
docket, while the remaining two were
petty cassa on the Criminal Calendar.
A Caution About Shot in Game.
The London Lancet, a medical journal
of high repute, publishes the following
timely advice: This be:ng the season
when game killed by $hot, and probably
containing the pellets,1 is eaten, it may be
worth while to caution these who con
sume the flesh of birds with avidity, that
the proportion of instances in which shot
is found is probably small in comparison
with the number of cases in which the
pellets are unwittingly swallowed.
It is a matter of speculation how much
mischief a shot; niay do whan passed inta
the intestines, ;but the fact that anoma"
lous diseases have been set up by the
presence of very small bodies which have
been entangled in folds of the mucous
merrbrane renders it'desirablo to put the
public on their guard. Occasionally the
most disastrous resuLs bave followed such
small cauees.
We have in recollection the crse of a
physician who died after prolonged and
uuexplaincd sufferiugs from the impaction
of a very small nail, which had found its
way into a pudding, and was inadvertent
ly swallowed. A little care will avoid
this contingency , but remembering that
the bird had been shot, some paim ought
certainly to be taken to avoid swallowing
the mis s;Ie.
