Aboui 188a The first day of the year and of April will fall' on Thursdays; the Fourth of Jily'comeson Sunday, and Christmas on Saturday. It is leap year, and Febru ary has 29 days, and as the girls will then be privileged to go courting, they will nave the epportunity to do plenty ! of it, as the almanac-maker was considerate euough to put ' five Sundays in - tbe month of February. Easter comei within a week of as early as it eyer came on the 28th day of iXarch. The yeaf'l830 will have six eclipses four of the son and two of the moon, but only one oi them will be visible here, namely, the sixth, whioh s a partial eclipse of the sun pn the last day of th year very earty in the morning. A very unnsuaT thing about these eclipses ts that three of t'ism occur in December a circumstance that will not again occur in many years. A total eclipse of the sun on January 11 will be wholly visible in . California and partially in Missouri. . Both eclipses of the moon will be total, but invisible in North America. About the middle of 1880 Winneek's comet will ma ke its appearance in the heavens after an absence of five years and seven i months. The moon will be the ruling planet of 1880, and the yearV will be generally more bumid than coli that is the almanac says so. The year of 1880, of course, goes out on Friday.

" A Goed Arrangement. Regulations have been issued from the Postoffice Department by which gold and silver coin may be Bent through the mails as fourth class matter at one cent per ounoe, To secure greater certainty of delivery, the same may be registered for an additional fee of ten cents for each package, this system will be ajgreat ac commodation to the public, especially in shipping to points where there are. ho money order offices. An Jxoduster Dusted. ? The white chap who was here on Saturn day trying to pursuade the colored people to go to Indiana met with so little en eourageraent that he has left for parts unknown. He called on the most in fiuentlal colored preachers and . left them circulars, etc.,. but when he ascertained that they were going to "speak out in meeting" and advise the colored people to stick to light woed and tar, rather than emigrate te Indiana and fret zi to death, he bowed himself out. Stolen Property Recovered. During the Christmas holidays three copper whiskey stills and one worm were stolen from Greenfield where they were erected some year or so ago by Messrs. T. C, Mcllhenny & Co., oii Col.McIlhenny's place, some two mile South of this city but the thieves eluded arrest unta- day or two since when officer Carr was pnt upon the track to ferret out the matter. He succeeded in getting some of the prop erty back and one of the thieves, known as Jack Smith, an account of whose ar rest by a warrant from Justice McQuigg e mentioned in yesterday's Review. The stills and worm were purchased by several parties in this city, as old cop par, and some of them have been shipped north. As these parties are all reliable and responsible, the balance of the stolen property will most likely be recovered. - Needed litre. Wilmington has long felt the necessity of some suitable hospital accommodations for those whose home are elsewhere, but may become sics: while temporarily stop-, ping in the city. To meet this demand, we understand that the Board of County Commissioners havs signified a willing ness to assist, so far as they legiti mately are able, and that the city government bas also expressed au opinion so favorable to the project that there is every reason to expect material assistance from that source. It is also expected that tbe several brnevole?t and secret societies in the city will contribute to the extent cf. a Lev! and bedding for each organization.

This number, however, does e t .u.rule some possible eight or ten p viji rs who were buried in Potter's Field. But suppose we state the whole number ot deaths at 370 for tb vear 1879. weiwill then have, a difference of 125 between the &ar't statements and Dr Walker's report, with the possible eht or ten paupers included, w.iich U not quite 22 per cent of the 17,000 popu lation according to the Meares census.

The Proposed Dtiflguration. V Edit.b p tub Review: i I (notice in your paper of 6th inst that our City Fathers propose to ereot a belfry on the City Hall. I hope that they wnl reconsider their order in the matter and devise some Qther plan. Would it not be better to construct a bell-tower in the City Hall yard iu the rear of the theatre and the hall? The reasons are many, it would be anin ovation and adesecration of allprinoiples of the style in whioh the building is constructed. The old hns'-era oox ceived and' put in force the rive orders of architecture and they wire consid ered complete by all learned . in the arts. acbof the five orders has its fitness for the purpose for which it may be used, and all educated and cultivated minds Jiave considered that no improvements can be added, and any additions attempted have always proved failures. The Corinthian style of architecture in whioh our Gity Hall is built, has iu all ages been oonsider ed one of tke most graceful, elegant arid refined of the five orders, and is considered a lasting monument of the high cultivation of the Greeks iu their devotion to the fine arts. And it has always been considered by all nations that one proof of an educated and cul tivated people is found iu their public and private buildings The Goths and Vandals, when they overran Italv, Greece, . Asia and Aft ica, destroyed mo t of the woika of ancit nt architec ture. The epeciineiis whioh haye been partially preserved exhibit a combina tion of elegant pi oportions, ' dignified simplicity and majestic grandeur, but there are no belfries or dome? ! . There ia another and a more prac tical reason why the belfry should not be plaoed on the City Hall. It would be necessary to cut the roof through for poststo bejsupported on timbers above the ceiling to carry the super structure and bell ami I care not how well the work may be braced there will be more or less vibration, and in time this will oause tbe plastering to fall. And then again it is a very diffi cult undertaking to make the roof so that it will not leak around its cou struotion. And then, lastly, how are you going to get to the bell? You must go through the theatre and it ia a five minutes operation, and even then how are you going to ring the bell Observer.
