We have been requested by one of our patrors to call the attention of the authori ties to tho fact that .thero are parties re tailing lace goods in. this city without a license. We know nothing of the circum stances of the case beyond what is iuii' tioned above. But the gentleman wtw gave us the- information is a retail diy goods merchant, arid complains, as he has a right to do, of the i justice of tbe thing, and the unequal bearing of the law as i is enforced, which compels a merchant to pay taxes, and permits other parties to traffic free of any tax whatever. It is proper for us to add that we do not know who the parties are indulging in this bosi ness. We only know that the merchant who complains is a gentleman of respecta bility atid'gnod standing aud entitled to bo heard. . A Very Odd oion li. Tho month of February, which set in Sunday, will be an odd mouth in several respects. It will have in the first place an odd number of days, owing to its leap year distinction. It will have an odd number o' Sunday (6 ve)i which is very odd for the shortest month' in the year, and one of the Sundays will be Washington's birthday. It will begin on Sunday and end on Sunday, which is also odd. The five Sundaps correspond in date with the five 8undays in next August, which ii odd again. It is said that U9 one now living will ever see another February so odd; nor will their children, nor their children's children sufficient in itself to make the month interesting. Many old superstitions are associated with tht month, which originally had twenty-nine day 8 amonf tbe Romans in an ordinary i year. When tho Roman Senate, how ever, decreed that the eighth month shou'd be named after the Emperor An gustus, one day was taken from February and bestowed on August, giving it 31 days, in ord.T that it might not be in ferior to July, called after Julius Caesar. "The Phcenix Wever Dies." 1 - i Milton Nobles and bis excellent troupe will visit this city on Friday evening and will appear in that most popular of American plays, 'Phoenix.' Mr. Nobles will give three entertainments in this city, one of which will be a Saturday matinee for the benefit of those who cannot leave their houses or work at niht. Saturday evening 'A Man of thePdople' will be played fr tbe first time in this city. An exchange says of'Pbojiix: A very large audience greeted tbe first appearance of that gifted author and comedian at the opera house last night, ar.d for happily blended mirth and humor, The PLceoix, has never been surpassed. It is a dram that not only takes the masses, but ia full of interest to tboie who are habitaated to every phase cf the drama. 1 here is nothing more tbr lung and exciting thin the fire scene and tbe I ambling scene ingthis m i erpi ce of American dramas. 1 bo role of tno hero, who is both Bohemian aod detective, is admirably adapted to Mr Nobles and in his own play, 'The Pbce iix,' he possesses a faculty that but few actors have and many yearn for, Mr Schwartz, in his character of Moes Solomons, is the best Lo ch coraedii n J of the s age. The company is strong one, and seems to have been selected carefully for their re spective parts, which th y perform to perfection. Entertainments like the one last night are afaee treat to our com munity, and the opera houee will bo crowded tho tbjrtjg , rsmaialng nights of Mr Nobles' engagement.

A Distressing I asuality. One cf the moet distressing accidents and deaths it has ever been our painful duty to rccoid, occumd yesteroay near Rocky Point, The circumstances, as we learn them from Dr. W. T. linnett, are as follows : Yesterday niorninj; Mr. Council Caateen who icKides about two miles from Rocky Point, was engaged in slaughtering his hogs, and at'about noon, or a little later, his children left the house to go in search of sweat gum. After they bad left and the elder portion of the fam ily were busily engaged with their pork, his youngest chile, a son named Council, aged about two years, wandered away from the hens?, presumably in search of those who had left a little while before. After awhile the children returned, but this little oao was not with them, nor had they seen him. An alarm was immediately given and tho neighbors turned out cn masse to search for him. His little fooU steps were at last discovered, and follow ins them the poor little fellow was found drowned in a small,.narrow stream about three hundred yards from fie house every thing which medical science could sug geat was called into requisition for his resuscitation, but unfortunately without avail. The grief of the heart stricken mother was a picture of unutterable agony as she saw her youngest ' loved one ia tbe cold embrace of death.

Tbe Revenue Cutter Colfax received a telegram from tbe Signal Officer at Smithville yesterday noon to the effect that there was a three-masted schooner ashore on Bald Head beach and also that an English barquentine, supposed to be the Hcsolule, was at anchor between the sea and the bar buoys, in a dangerous position, and that tbe sea was so heavy on the bar that neither the pilot boats nor tugs could get out to the assistance of either vessel. The Cutter, immediately started down the riv.r and at 3:30 P. M. went out over the bar, a heavy sea running at the time. She shipped two heavy seas, one of which carried away her bowsprit shrouds, lyjachiog the barquentine their prof fered assistance wa? not needed, as she had two anchors down and was making pretty good weather of it. The schooner was found to bo to? far in, and her crew could easily make their way to the shore should the necessity ariso for so doing. The Coif x tl en came inside, being tuarded as shs crossed the bar by a heavy sea which came in over the taffrail and swept the deck, but did no material dam age, Abda.iiht this morning the Cutter anch .red off Bald Uend ar.d sent a boat to the schoonef. Found her to be the A . Randolph, W. J. Warner, of St. John s N. B, b.und from Falmouth, Jamaica, to this port iu ballast. There is not t v.r two feet of water around her where she lies d she will probably be a total loss. She was valued at $4,000 and was insured for $2,000, and was coni signed to Mr. 0 G.
