A New Enterprise.
Mr. N. N. Smith, formerly of Fayette
ville, who has had considerable experience
in j the manufacture of potter's ware, has
removea to tnis city ana established a
pottery on the corner ot S ixth and Nixon
Mreets. He has just completed his estab
lishment and manufactured his first lot ol
earthen ware, which consists of jars, pans
and other articles for domestic use. We
learn that he obtains clay for his purposes
in abundance near his pottery. We hope
he may have that patronage, and success
which the enterprise, demands.

Easter.
To day is Eas er Even aud to-morrow
will be Laster Day. This latter is known
in the Church Calendar as the Christian
Passover and Festivafof the Resurrection
of .Christ, and will be duly celebrated by
the Catholic, Episcopal and Lutheran
churches in thia city.
In the early Christian ages a wide
difference of opinion sprang up between
different sects and creeds as to what day
of the week and month Easter came on.
After years of angry strife and bitter dis
sensions was nnauy settled tor the
1 a. a II 1 -1 . m
whole church by adopting the rule which
iiiakea Easter day to be always the first
Sunday after the full moon upon or next
after March 21st, and if the full moon
happens on Sunday, Easter day is the
Sunday after. By this arrangement East
er may come as early as March 22nd; or
as late as April 25th. This sacred fes
tival has been termed tha Qusen of Festi
vals; it has been observed from the. very
beginning, and is celebrated in every part
of the Christian world with great solem.
nity and devotioni In nearly a!l Christ
ian1 countries the recurrence of Easter
has been celebrated with various
ceremonies and popular sports and ob
servanccs. Among the best known is
the custom of making presents of colored
eggs, called. pasch or pale eggs, which
were often elaborately ornamented; and
in a royal roll of the time of Edward I.,
preserved in the Tower, appears an entry
of 18 J for 400 eggs to" be used for this
purpose. Colored eggs were used by
children at Easter at a sort tf game which
consisted in testing the strength of the
egg shell, and this practice is still con-
.' i ml rri
tinuea in some unnsiain countries, ine
game of ball was a favorite Eastsr sport,
in which municipal corporations formerly
engaged withdue parade and dignity;
,and at Bury St. Edmunds within a few
years the game was kept up with great
spirit by twelve old women. Id the
Northern countries of England the men
parade the streets on Easter Sunday and
claim the privilege of lifting every woman
three times from the ground, receiving in.
payment a kiss or a silver sixpence. The
same is done by the women to th men
on the next da.y.

There were three cases for the Mayor's
consideration . this morning. The first
called was that of a young German Jack
Tar who could scarcely speak English.
The charge against the defendant was,
that he fired a pistol in Paddy's Hollow
last night about 10 o'clock. The young
son of Neptune declared bis innocent in
tention of anything wrong and tried te
explain tbatm the old conntryGoodFriday
was a holiday and folks are allowed a
little liceise. The Myor dismissed the
case.
The next case was that of a1 young
white man who got into a difficulty with
a disreputable white woman in front of a
saloon in the neighborhood of Paddy's
Hollow, known as the "Red Light."
The charge against this valiant young
man and chivalrous hero was, tht he
knocked a woman down twice on the
fitreet. The woman hersejf Jailed to com
plain, and while cn the witness ttacd this
oiorning evidsntly delivered ber testimony
very reluctantly. We suppress the names
of the parties by special request, (we sup
poe they are fearful the publication of
them will iujare their reputations Re
pokteb ) The Mayor statsd'that in coa
sideratipa of this bsina the first offence
and inasmuch as there was no complain,
of damage, he would Fupend judgment
in this instance. '. ' , ,
The third and U?t cae was that of a
colortd habitue of (p4iddy s Hollow, who

The bt.x sheet for the entertainment to
bo given at the Opera House on next
Tuesday eveniag is now open at Heins-

secured. It is the -first time, e think.
that Mrs. Jarley has ever been presented
to-a Wilmington public and tbergwill
undoubtedly be a very large boupe. It
is one of the most unique, pleasing enter
taiuments of the day and must be seen to
be appreciated. Besides the wax-works
there will be other attractions, such as
tableaux, music, proverbs, S:c., the whole
making a bill which is bound to please
evertb-ci'. We candidly advise these
who have rot yet secured scats to attend
to it at oi.ee.

Brother Bonitz, of the Goldsboro
Messenger ,who was here a few days since
on a flying visit, speaks thushandsomely
of our city and of our people:
We, of course, noted many handsome
improvements that had been added to
the city since our last visit there in
1872, land were pleased to hear that the
business outlook of- the . city was
never brighter and that the future
looks quite encouraging. The
trade of Wilmington is said to be grow
ing with each succeeding ' season.
The enterprising, public spirited business
men of the noble Cape Fear city are cer
tainly entitlod to the greatest credit for
the solid, steady progress the commerce
of the city is making, in the face of the
many combinations, the State and some
of tbe railroads have succeeded in form
lag to her detriment, and in the interests
of seaports beyond the State. .
