and organized by electing Col. F. W

nrer. and F. H. Darby. Secretary. The

and Alex. Sprunt, Esq , on the wharves
and to Frcnt street, A. D. Brown, A.

Death of a Venerable North caie-
llnian.
We are grieved to learn,- by a private
telegram received in this city this morn-
hng, of the death of one of the most ven
erable citizens of Fayetteville,. Mr. John
llcIUe. He was one of the oldest of
North Carolina's sobs, . having been ap
pointed postmaster at Fayetteville dur
ing President Madison'ssdmInistration,
an office which he held for many years
lie was the lather of our talented fellow
townsman, Lol. JJuncan tx. Aicnae, ana
a v. W W- m
also cf Mr. John McRae and Mrs. L B;
Grainner. both of this city. The decess-
ed, wes about 90 years of age.
Guilty or Wrong;.
Some people have a fashion of confusing
excellent remedies with the large mass of
'patent medicines,' and in this they are
of wroK- Thcre re me d
wted remedies fully worth all that Is
aaked for them, and one at least we know
of Hop Bitters. The writer has had
occasion to nae the Bitter, in just
such a climate as we bare most of the
vear in Bay City, and has always found
them to be firstlss and reliable, doing
thAt r. .1 for them Tribune.
Da
iT
New Clock.
We understand there is a movement
started to place' a clock In the to werof
the New Market H.nse. A subscription
paper for the purpose is being handed
around and if those having the matter in
hand can succeed a fine time piece, strik
ing the quarter hours, will be .erected
which will no deubt prove a great con
venience to the business public.
Charily Ball.
The Charity Bali under the auspices of
our Hebrew citizens and for the benefit o
a Hebrew charitable organization .and the
Temple of Israel in this city will take
piace tonight. A large audience is ex
pected to be in attendance and the man
agers cuarantee a pleasant time to all who
call.
Walking Match.
The 100 miles walking match between
Miss Jennie Forest and Mr. Will Cum
ming, will commence this evening at 6
o'clock. Both are professional walkers
add are said to be in excellent trim for
the task they are to undertake. The
track has been laid in the City Hall and
every thing is said to be in readineea for
the pedestrians, who are to make 100
miles in eighteen hours.
Preparing for Them.
In view of the proportions the exodns
movement has assumed and anticipating
an influx of Chinese cheap labor, Mr.
Wilkin Rcddick is lettering the front of
Messrs. Brown & Roddick's five and ten
coat st re with Chinese characters. We
presume it is done with a view of adver
tising tbeir goods, but as we do not un-
dsrstand the language we may be mis
taken, and perhaps onr friend Roddick
is going to run a Chinese boarding house
and is advertising for boarders.
Sympathy tor Ireland.
Quite a respectable number of citizens
were present in the City Court room last
night in response to Mayer Fiahblate's call
to take in to consideration the published
appeal from the .Lords Mayor of London
and Dublin, in behalf of the suffering peo
pie of old Ireland.
The meeting was organized by calling
Mayor Fiahblate to the chair, and request
ing Col. B. R. Moore to act as Secre
tary. The Mayor npon taking the chair
stated the objects of the meeting and an
nounced that Col. Duncan K. MacRae was
expected to have been present and ad
dress themeeting.but was prevented from
so doing by slckLess.
Speeches were made by F. H. Darby,
Eeq.and Mr.Alex.Sprunt,the British Yice
Consul at this port. . Rer. Dr. Watson,
Mr. T. B. Kingsbury and Col. John
MacRae, being called upon, each in turn,
made a few remarks. The speakers all
announced their sympathies for the dis
tress and famine afflicted people in Ire
land, and their willingness to contribute
towards mitigating the horrors of the
famine.
Upon motion, a committee of nine was
appointed by the Chair to constitute the
Irish Relief Committee. The following
named gentlemen comprise the Committee:
Coli F. W. Kerchner, Captain D. R.
Mnrchison, Col. . J. W. Atkinson and
Messrs. Alex. Sprunt, A. Adrian, F. H.
Darby, A. D. Brown, Li H. Brown and
H. Brinhild. The sum of $245 was
subscribed at this meeting, the list being
headed by the Hibernian Association with
$100. The. meeting then upon motion
adjourned; I
The suffering of the poor "people in Ire
land appeals strongly to the sympathy and
generosity of our people ; nor should their
appeals be made in Tain, or their suffer
ings allowed to go unnoticed and unheed.
ed, as Is evidenced by the interest which
was manifested last nigl)t, we are glad to
know, they will not be. A long-Uuflering,
heroic and patriotic people, they will ever
fill a place in the pages of history that
students for centuries to come, who love
to read of chivalrous conduct,heroic deeds,
lofty bearing and pare and unselfish patri
otism, will delight to pertise. .While our
sympathies go out to the poor and distress
ed in this unhappy 'Isle of the ea,' we
haffl no sympathy or patence wuhpoliti-.
cal agitators, of the Fame 11 stripe, who.
taking advantage oC the necessities and
sufferings of this brave and impulsive peo
ple, are working np a political scheme for
their own selfish ends and personal ag
grandizement.

"The Knight of The Plains,1 and Its
Author.
Tbe Buffdlvj Bill troupe will peiform
here next Wednesday nigbt, in a piece
entitled The Knight of the Plains,' which
was written for the company by Col
i'renuss mgrauam, who will be remem
bered by many of our citfzms as the
dashing young nicer of the Cuban navy
who with others, including Commodore
Higgius, the Commander of the sloop o
war CvJjcl, was taken prisoner here by
the U. 55. author ities, when the above
-named vessel put in at this port some ten
years ago few ccal. The vessel, it will. bev
remembered, was taken charge of by U
. 2$. offkera aed the expedltfonTjroken up,
Col. Ingrahim remained in this city for
some time afterwards,. and finally went
North. The Col is uow treasurer o
Buffalo Bill's Company. -
The Spec cue s Last Night:
We learn from those who were present
that the speech of the occasion in the
meeting held at the City Hall last night
in sjmpathy for the sufferers iu Ireland,
ws made by Mr. T. B. Kingsbury, who
we are told delivered a chaste, ornate and
effective speech upon the distressed ' Irhh
people. It was not our pleasure to te
present alter the meeting organized and
we are the sufferers therefore in conee
quence.
Tne eloquent ffjrt of the above uamed
gentleman is spoken of in qii'.y handsome
terms by .'all those who were fortunate
enough to 1 ear it.
The speeches of the other gentlemen
who addressed the meeting are mentioned
also as being apropos to the occasion and
full of earnest sympathy and pity for the
sufferers in the far away land across the
sea.
Telepnonic Communication With
Smithville and the Sounds.
From Mr. D. B. De Forrest we learn
that telephonic communication is about to
be established between this city and
Smithville. There seems to be a great
desire on the part of persons living at
Smithville and along the proposed route
of the line, for telephonic communication
with the merchants of this city, who real
ize the advantages to accrue from snch a
connection. ' It is thought that the plan
tations of Dr.J.D. Bellamy, A W, Reiger,
Hon. D. L. Russell, 'Orton' and Col.
S. L. Fremont's and Mr. C. W. McClam
my's turpentine still will be placed on the
line of communication. The matter has
taken definite shape and a requisition
will be made by Manager De Forrest for
the linesmen, to erect the wires
at an early jdate. We ; learn also that
early in the spring a telephone line
will be erected between this city and
Wrightsville Sound. Masonboro and Mid
die Sounds are now in telephonic com
munication with this city, and when the
two proposed lines are completed Smith"
yille, Masonboro, Middle and Wrights
ville Sounds will be in speaking dis
tance of this city.'

Subscriptions to the Canal.
-Major W L. Young, the indefatigab'e
and energetic worker in behalf of the
Dnplin canal scheme, has now opened a
subscription list for this work and yester
day succeeded in getting $1,200 sub
scribed to the enterprise. This is but the
entering wedge, however, and will be fol
lowed very soon, we have no doubt, by
other subscriptions in sufficient sums to
justify commencement of the work in a
very short time. Surely our merchants
and citizens generally, who have seen
their own legitimate trade drift away from
them by degrees ti sea port towns in
neighboring States, for a lack: in some in
stances of a little well directed .energy
and enterprise from this place, will not
now hesitate to invest a few thousand
dollars, when a new field fot business, and
wealth, can be developed with such a com
paratively small outlay of capital I If
Wilmington don't begin to do something
for herself what will become of the place?
We have all the natura) facilities here
for a large business necessary to a sea
port town But what i most needed now
we think, is energy and capital. Other
Southern ciiies are working up new en
terprises and reach i g cut tor trade. Shall
Wilmington be behind Ithetn all ? We
hope not. But it is a question .that the
merchants, both wholesale and retail, as
well as real esUle owners, win have to
solve. Fur our own put, we think it
would pay this city as a corporation, to
subscribe libera Uy to the enterprise, even
IT it has to issue new bonds to raise the
fqnds. How would, it do to call a citizens
