Bitter Cold.
The weather has been the all-absorbing
topic of conversation to-day. Last night
was wet, nasty, cold and otherwise disa
greeable. About 10 o'clock it began to
snow but there was only a very light fall.
This morning dawned clear and fair, but
intensely cold and the general verdict is
that it is the coldest weather we have
had here since the Christmas of 1870. It
has not been as cold, however, as it was
in 1857-8, which was an exceptionally
cold winter. It was the . coldest known
here for many years. So cold was it
during that winter that early one
morning the Cape Fear river waa found
frezen across from " shore to shore. It
was only a thin sheathing of ice, how
ever, and soon broke and "melted when
the sun fell on it That is the only in"
stance; during the past seventy years,
when such a thing is known to hare oc

A Westermann, of this city, to the effect
that on the 9th inst., in latitude 34:40,
longitude 60:07, he spoke the barque

visions from Capt Levin, having been
much in need, as he had been blown out
of his course while bound from Demarara
to Frince Edward Island. - Having lost
most of her sails, the Kitty Clyde was
making her way back to Bermuda, when
she fell in with the Charlotte Anna.
Captain May speaks very gratefully of
Capt Levin for the kindness and as
sistance rendered him.
In Appeal for the Poor
Would it not be well for some of our
leading and prosperous business men in
this community to call a meeting'of well-to-do
citizens and organize themselves
into a sort of humane or charitable so
ciety, far the purpose of relieving the
sufferings of the poor in this city, during
the very severe weather that is now up
on us?.,
How many people are there in this
community who had comfortable feather
beds to sleep on last night, with carpeted
rooms, and who yet felt the freezing
weather pinch them a little?
How terrible then must have been the
sufferings of those poor fellow creatures
of ours living in this very city of Wil
mington who had nothing but a pallet of
straw for a couch with scarcely anything
to cover with,"no wood, and cracks under
the door or in the floor through which
the cold blasts of winter' kept sweeping
through all night, adding to their misery
and discomfort? Will some one urge on
th is matter and get up a subscription ior
wood to be distributed among the poor
and needy and sick and suffering human.

A Victim of Misplaced Confidence.
For some time-past Mr. Dan. O'Con
nor, Real Estate Agent in this city, has
been missing from the safe in hia office-,
on Frincess street, change to the'amount
of one or two dollars at a time. This Mr.
O'Connor was at a los3 to account for,
except on the hypothesis that one of the
safe keys which he had lost some time
since must have been found by some one
who was well acquainted with his premi
ses and knew how and when to get at the
safe. The abstractions from the safe
continued for some little time , when Mr.
O'Connor's suspicions were at last direct
ed to a colored boy in his employ by the
najne of George Williams. . This colored
individual, in whom his employer reposed
great confidence, commenced recently to
wear very fine clothes and in addition to
this fact another cause of suspicion was
that the aforesaid colored individual
drove out on Christmas Day with two in
hand and went rattlinsr through the
streets with his double team like a reg
ular sport. These things,taken altogether
finally determined, Mr. O'Connor
to arrange'a trap to catch the thief,
which was done as follows: The cash
was put in the safe as usual but it was
all marked. The next thing was to bore
a hole in the ceiling of the office where a
young man was stationed at 6 o'cloek
this morning to watch the premises be
low. He had uot lonsr to wait, however,
for between 6 and 7 o'clock George
Williams, the colored boy referred to,
opened the office as usual to make
the fire and sweep out. In
stead of proceeding to I his regular
duties, . though, the young man on
watch discovered him take a key from
his pocket and open the safe -door, Mr.
0'Connor,whose residence is next door to
his office, was'notified of the situation of
affairs and immediately repaired to
the scene where he found Williams in
possession of his safe key and $2.75 of the
marked money which he had put in his (
sale tne mgnt oetore. a. warrant was
