on the comer of Sixth and Mulberry

night about 10 o'clock. The Mayor, after
listening to the evidence, remarked that
he was determined to enforce the order
recently given to the Chief of Police in
reference to this matter of loud and bois
terous conduct and cutting and swearing
on the streets, and he would therefore
impose a 'iko of $10 on John Brown

The run down ih4 -channel' was i ter

yachts weie cha:g :d and rtchanged. When
the race was hall run the Uessie Lee was
withdrawn on account of a foul, which
disarranged some of her rigging. We have
been unable to learn anything satisfactory
to any one relative to the race. The
Lizzie claims to have been; jammed against
the banks and had to come about to avoid
a collision while she hai the right of way.
The nipple claims almost the same, aid

and claims that the fouls were not her

I Dishop Atkinson.
We greatly regret to learn that Biahop
Atkinson is cow ssriously ill at the resi
dence of his son, Dr. Robert Atkinson, in
Baltimore. The Bishop,! it will be re
membered, fiuding his health very much
improved, went to Baltimore, about two
months ago, in the hope of receiving a
benefit in the change. There was a mark
ed benefit in the course of a month or
so, so marked, indeed, that the Bishop
was locking forward to a return to North
Carolina, and a summer among the
mountains, when be was again prostrated?')
On last Friday night Col.! John W. At
kinson received a telegram from , his
brother telling him that the Bishop was
much worse and sinking rapidly and
urging him to leave at once for . Balti
more. This was impossible as there was
no train at night and Ooli Atkinson pro
posed leaving the next morning, at 6:50
In the meantime he teiegrarhed for fun
ther information and early cn Saturday
morning,' before train time, came the re
ply, that the Bishop was better and that
CoL Atkinson had best wait until Tuesday
morning before- leaving, jbis morning
therefore.Col. A. left here for Baltimore.
There has been no farther information
relative to Bishop Atkinson's condition
and these facts leads us to believe; what
we so ardently bore, that there is a still
further improvement. in his condition.
