As the Opera House will be comfortably heated, the presence of the ladies generally is ur gently requested. Capt. Thompson has been a citizen of Wilmington for over three years, but prior to his residence here he was known as a prominent temperance worker in Kentucky, in which State alone 'he has delivered more than one thousand public addresses on this subject. He has the reputation of being a pleasing and forci ble speaker, and will no doubt have a large audience Monday night. In this connection the following corres pondence will sufficiently explain itself : "Wilmington, N. C, Jan. 5, 1881. Mr. N. F. Thompson-, City.

The Chairman stated the object of the call, and appropriate remarks were made by John Hollo way, Allen Evans, Geo. L. Mabson, Alfred Howe and Rev, J. G. Fry, and others. Rev. D. J. Sanders offered the follow ing resolutions, which were adopted t "Whereas, Intemperance is a great and conceded moral evil, and as such is alarmingly on the increase in North Car olina as seen in theexpenditure of $8,000,- , r 1 j 000 by ner people in a smgie year, ana ia me prevalence uikcnit &iu paut mm which are caused by tbe free use of ruraz Whereas, the colored race, of whicn we form a part, is suffering untold evil, from the unrestricted manulacture ana sale of intoxicating liquors in this State, the revenue for which goes to a class 01 men wno in me mam ao oai iiiuo ior the welfare of our people; and whereas, the hour seems to have arrived when the friends of temperance and reform may hope by united effort to stay the pro- irress of the rum traffie, therefore, Kesolved. 1. mat we, tne coiorea cit izens of Wilmington, in mass meeting as i sembled, do heartily respond;to the ex pressions of common interest made by our, white fellow-citizens on the temperance question. i?esoZt;ed;2nJ, That in the pending struggle for. prohibition in North Caro lina, we do hereby pledge ourselves to use every honorable means, ana to give our votes and our influence for the suc cess of that cause.

The Concert which is to be given un der the auspices of Prof. Van Lear will take place, as will be seen by announce ment published elsewhere, on next Wed nesday evening, at the Opera nouse. No pains will be spared to make it one of the most, delightful affairs of the kind known here in many days. The box sheet will be open at Heinsbergr's on Monday. Til FreaUet and tbe Gov. TVoilb Wef lcarm from Captain Jerry Rob efts, of the steamer Murehison, that the river was 37 feet high when he left Fay ctteville at 8 o'clock yesterday morning with the water still rising at the rate of four inches an hour. Capt. Roberts also reports that the upper works of tbf Gov. Worth have been carried away by the immense force of the '.freshet and1 it is feared that the steamer will be a perfect wreck. Had it not been for the sudden and tremendous rise in the river shortly after the accident to the Worth it is thought she could have been raised with very little trouble. Bat the high water renders it utterly ussless to attempt any thing of the kind for tbe present. The Wedding Bells. Thursday's Newt and Observer con tains the . following graphic description of the wedding, and the ceremonies at tendant thereon, ot P. Xi. Bridgers, Esq., of this city, and Miss Bettie Burke Hay wood, at Christ Church, in Raleigh, on Wednesday afternoon At 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon a fashionable audience assembled in Christ Church to witness the marriage of Miss Bettie B.

The approach of the event has for a long time been a subject of comment in fashionable circles, and the many friends of the pair and society generally felt that it was to be odo of .a - j a . tne most interesting ever celebrated in this city. The ceremony was performed by Rev. M. M. Marshall, D. D., rector, assisted by RL Rev. Bishop Lvman and Rev. Geo. Patterson, D, D.

Preceding the party were the following rentlemen ushers: Messrs. William Boy Ian, Sherwood Haywood, Edward B. Eug elhard and Hurbert Haywood.

Tbe ':brief and beautiful service of the church was soon over and the couple were made one. At the door dozens of hands and congratu lations were offered. The party drove to the Ceatral depot, where the train was taken for Wilmington. The extreme esteem is which the bride is held found fit expression in the pres ents which were sent by many friends in all parte of the State. The presents were attractively displayed and were, perhaps, as elegant and varied as were ever seen here. Among them were the following: Silver service, seven pieces, very handsome; diamond earrings, watch chain, locket and set ofjgold jewelry; dia mond pin; four bronze clocks and an equal number of statuettes; gold and pearl bracelets; silver pitcher and gob lets; four dozen solid rilver spoons; case of ice cream spoons and ladles; pair of serpent sevres vases: silver olive dish ana spoon; silver ladles; one dozen silver oyster forks, knives and berry spoons; three silver salt cellars and egg cups: three salad spoons; three pair snail vas es: two larze and handsome bibles: moth er of pearl fan; celluloid toilet sets; .sil- ver and gold butter plates; pepper ana salt cellars; silver geblets; lace handker- chieG; silver nut bowl; painted china tea-tot. . is 1 ......
