City Court
One Edward Merrick, colored, was ar
raigned this morning for disorderly con
duct and resisting tke police. The tes
timony of the officer who made the arrest
proved that the defendant made a dis
turbance at or near an alley on North
Water street, near Paddy' Hollow, last
last night, about 12 o'clock, by hallooing
in a loud voice.and when arrested resisted
the arrest. It appeared also that the de
fendant cut one of the female beauties of
that locality in the face. Ten dollars or
fifteen'days was the sentence of the Court,
and the" money not being forthcoming the
defendant was ordered below. This fin
ished the business and the Court adjourn

The name of the deceased was ascertained
to be Henry Davis. He hailed from
Brunswick county, but a short time ago
migrated to the Rock Quarry, -near Rocky
Point. A day or two ago he came down
t the city on a wood raft complaining
frequently, on the way heie, of a pain in
the head, and this morning when the other
hands on the fiat awoke he was found
cold In death. The jury rendered a ver

natural cause, unknown to them. De

North Carolina Medical Journal.
We have received the November uum-
ber of this valuable magazine. It is, as
usual, full of matter of deep interest to
the medical profession. We notice in the
ditorial columns, A Word to the Med
ical Students of 1879". that acme very
good and pertinent advice is given to those
who are preparing for the arduous duties
of the profession, and the admonition tbat
the Examiners of the State Board will not
grant a license to any who are not well
and thoroughly prepared by a knowledge
of Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry and
Pharmacy, Practice of Medicine, Ob
stetrics, Materia Medica and Therapeu
tics. Each applicant for a license to prac
tice medicine will be examined in all
these departments or branches of the
science.
. We also notice in an editorial review of
SaoitarylEDgioeering,1 a pamphlet issued
by the North Carolina Board of Health
that the importance of a thorough system
of disinfecting of all privies, vaults, cess
pools and, in fact, all places where mala
rial poisons may be apt to ariselfrom de
caying vegetable or animal matter, is
earnestly advocated and urged. It is a
matter of much importance to the health
of our city, and we wish the pamphlet
alluded to could be placed in the hands
of every father and mother in Wilming
ton. Save your money by buying your Build

The World for 1880.
Democrats everywhere should inform them
selves carefully alike of the action of their
party throughout the country and of the
movements of their Republican opponent.
A failure to do this in I87C contributed great
ly to the loss by the Democracy o the fruits
of thevict"ry airly won at the polls.
Tne year 18;0 promises to be one of the
most interesting and importa t years of this
crowded and eventual century. It will wit
ness a Presidential election which may resu't
in reestablishing the liovernmeEt f this
countrv on the principles of it? constitutional
founders, or in permanently changing toe re
lation of the States to the Federal power.
So intelligent man can regard such an elec
tien .with indifference. Tne World, as the
only dailv English newspaper published in
the citv of New York which upholds the
doctrines of constitutional Democracy, will
stsadily represent the Democratic party in
this great canvass It will de this in no spirit
of serle partisanship, but temperately and
firmly. As a newspaper the World, being
the organ of no man, no clique and no inter
est, will present the fullest and the fairest
picture it can make ot each day's history in
the ci'y, the tit ate, the country and the
world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore,
at accuracy first of all things in all th&t it
publishes. No man, however humble, shall
ever be permitted truly to complain tbat he
has been unjustly dealt with in the columns
of The World. No interest, howt ver power
ful, nhall ever be permitted truly to boast
that it can silence the fair criticisms of The
World.
During the past year The World has sent
its daily circulation trebled and its weekly
circulation pushed far beyond that of aoy
other weekly newspaper in the country.
This great increase has been won, as The
World believes, by truthfulness, enterprise
ceaseless activity in collecting news and un
faltering loyalty to itself aiid to its readers
AamMncr with the fin pat inn a of h Hnv. It
UU.'lUfi ri - 1 w, " - J - -

The World sreeora tor leeu may be written
in the approbation and the support of many
thousands more of new readers in all parts
of this Indirsoluble Union of Indestructible
