If the party of the , second part ia an agreement which yra.h entered into the other day, and w hereof ye local was a witness, carries out the spirit of a contract made betweenj the party of the first and the party of the second part, before men tioned, there will be a hanging in Wil mington shortly. For the j reason, that Stephen .White, the decrepit old English man, who was five land twenty years an actor and ten vearjla har'equin, who will be 75 yea'rs old nest Febiuary, and who speaks nothing but poetry, is still injthe city and has faiieii to carry out his part of the tfonstractlby which he was released fron custody by the Mayor, which, as va: stated at the time, was upon the condi tion that he put this city behind Ihim le fore 12 o'clock hi the day upqa which he was discharged frorb arrest, or i failing to do that he would be imprisoned for thirty days, whereupon th defendant at the time, the aforesaid Stephen White, told the mayor that ce might hang him if he remained in the city for a longer peri oJ than the time above mentioned. And singular as it may appear the twice before mentioned Stephen White is still in, this city for we both saw him and heard1 him it , - - t this morning, entertaining a party of ex cursionists by striking a stage attitude. and then quoting ! lines jof j Shakespeare with much earnestness but with small powers of elocution! , for he is a may be wll e tbe - best io toothless old man, and as supposed docs not ; articula the wor'.d. Buttill we hope the Mayor will .not hang him nor "imprison him either, Lr th9 o!d watilarer has furnished uj wiih an it;ra on three different -peca-6i3na when locals were very dull, and oa this account we will bafa to interpose and crave lor the poor old fe!o! w the clemency of the authorities. 1 i ''::-:;vV;i'v:'.r';.- WILMINGTON, : N. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER . The rattle crrdlnancr. By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that this (Oct. Sis!) is the last day upon which any kind of neat cattle will be permitted to run at large, within the city limita, until the first of May, 1880. ' Spring liar den r can us. j This fertile region of Rocky Po'idI, in Pender county, is famous for large yields and a fine quality of peanuts. I That ex cellent farmer, Mr. W. G. Chadwick, who is farming upon the fine lands ot that celebrated farmer of that locality; Joel Ilines, Esq , has sent us a specimen of his peanut crop-of thia.jear. The bunch or hill which he has sent us, and now hinging up in our office, jcod tains, by ac tual count, four hundred and fifteen )415) well matured and good size peanuts, without any pops, or faulty peas. He imform8 us that this hill will measure over one quart and that this is the aver age yield to the hill of the peanut crop generally this year of Spring Garden. There are no better farming lands in the State.than these of Spring Garden and Rocky Point. The farmers of .Pender county are now busy at work in gather ing their fine crops of peanuts, corn, cpwpeas, rice, cotton and sweet potatoes. We learn that some of them will, in addition to these crops, enter next year upon the culture of tobacco. LIttell s Llvlns Age.

The "Three Years in Battle and Three Years in Prison," now being published by Capt. Shotwell, in the Farmer & Me chanic, is decidedly the best history of the war that has yet found its way into print. Capt. Shotwell contributes a chapter every week, and so thorough is his delineations, so compact the narra tion of facts, and so careful is he as to statistics, that his sketch is worthy of an exalted place in the history of the , war, which we hope it may receive, Capt. Shotwell should, and probably will, publish it in book-form. If he should, we guarantee him in advance a handsome subscription in this "City by the Sea." We have some personal knowledge of the events which he narrates; in the main they are very correct. It ia only occa sionally that there is a mistake, although so far as our observation has extended, those mistakes are immateria We only desire to correct one. In speaking of the occupation of the forts, Capt. Shotwell says in his last issue : Fort Macon, at Beaufort, was occupied on Monday by volunteers from Newbern and Goldsboro; Forts Johnson and Cas well, by four Wilmington companies, un der Captains Stevenson, DeRosset, Meares and vol.er', Col.. J. L. Uantwell com manding, i 1 The correction we wish to make is a follows : Forts Johnson and Caswell were occu pied by four Wilmington companies as follows: Wilmington Light Infantry, commanded by Capt. Wm. L. DeRosset; German Volunteers, commanded by Cape. O. Cornehlson; Wilmington Rifle Guards, commanded by Capt. O. P. Meares, and the Cape Fear Light Artillery, command ed by Capt. John J. Hedrick. These corrections are slight ones, but we consider them necessary to a full and perfect history of the war.

It can be sent to all countries represented in tie union, including about all of Europe, China, Japan, Brazil, etc. The design necessarily contains more printing than the present card and has a border some- thing like the old on 3. I At ihe top aie the words ; ' Universal Postal Union,' a little curved, and repeated in French in smaller type beneath. Then come tbe words in bold type: 'Uniced States of America,' also repeated in Fiench and then the 1 ne, in English only; Write only the address on this side.' Tbe stamp is a well designed head of Liberty, sur rounded by an elliptical border, with a figure '2' on each' side and the words : U. S. Postal Card' around it.

Three Parts. i We have often read that a sheet of paper can be split into three parts. Thus it is said that a piece of cewspaper can be divided into three leaves one consisting of the surface on which an engraving or cut is printed,"one with tbe letter press, and a perfectly blank sheet between them. To those who are incredulous we commend the following experiment which we have not tried: Get a piece of plate-glass and plaee it on a sheet of paper, which must ba thor oughly soaked. With care and a little dex terity the sheet can be split by the top sur face being removed. But the best plan is to paste a piece of cloth or strong paper to each side bf the sheet to ba split. When dry, violently and without hesitation pull the pieces assunder, when a part of tho sheet will be found to have adhered to one and a part tJ the other. Sof.en the paste in water and the pieces can be easily re moved from the cloth. This process is generally demonstrated as a matter of curiosity, yet it can be demonstrated, and it can be utilized ia many ways. If we want to paste in a scrap-book newspaper articles printed on both sides of the paper, and possess but one copy, it is very con venient to know how to detach one side from the other. Some time ago the in formation how to split paper in this man ner was advertised to be sold for a con siderable sum.

Dr. Rosset of this city,andvery recently a practicing physician in Wilntigntonjis to remove to San Antonie, Texas. He is now and has been for about two years past a resi dent physician ( iu New York City, were his extraordinary abilities as a specialist in eye 'and ear diseases has not only secured for him an excellent remunerative practice, but a reputation in his profession which is acknowledged and accepted by leading physicians in that cityj Unfortunately, his health has become impaired during his residence there, and he has been compelled to re move to another and a softer climate. He goes to San Antonio nnder guaranties which will secure him a successful and porfitable practice. Dr. DeRosset is a native of thiscityand one whose whole soul is in his profession. When in preparation for the practice of medicine, he studied both in this city and in Europe. He is accounted one of the most thorough physicians and surgeons of the age, and is sure to make his mark wherever he goes, among strargers or friends. Dr. DeRosset is'one of the editors of the North Carolina Medical Journal, pub lished in this city, and we trust that his removal will not interfere with bis edito rial labors on that publication.
