Mr. Vennor states that the entry of
February of last year (1880) was fully
as severe as that of the present month,
and that the December of 1879 was much
more severe than the December of this
season. January of 1880, how ever, was
a mild month, and hte very opposite of
the January of 1881. Upon the prin-
ciple of general compensation, and from
the fact of our having now had in. suc-
cession two months of severe weather,
Mr. Vennor is strongly of the pinion
that the present month will give us the
thaw predicted in his almanac. In this
he alludes to a rapid disappearance of
snow and sleighing over a very, large
area, and a return of winter and of stormy
weather toward the latter portion of
this month and for part of March: ne
thinks another "blizzard" and cold term
will travel over the United States short
ly after the entry of March.
We lean: that Mr. Chas. H. Gilbert,
who was before the Mayor yesterday, as
stated by ns, for keeping open a butcher

declares that he will not close, all reports
to the contrary notwithstanding.

There is a chart, we believe, already
granted by the Legislature for a line of
railway extending along the North Caro
lina coast, from Norfolk to Wilmington.
There was much talk about the projected
line some Years aero and now it 'seems
that it is being revived. Here is
cliDoinar to that effect from the Onslow
eorresnondenee of the Kinston Journal:
I There has been a Mr. Dillion over in
our section nrosDectin? for a railroad
corporation who have in view the build-
ing of a railroad from JNorioiK to Charles
ton, via Newbern and Wilmington. We
understand that he is very favorably im
pressed with the appearance of the coun
try and sees no serious obstacle in the
way. We hope a charter will be granted
at this sitting of the Legislature' and
work commenced upon it at once.
To say we need a road would but echo
the sentiment of every thinking man
who lives in the middle and upper parts
of the county, and others who are famil
iar with the geography of our section.
We would be glad to see our citizens
take an interest in this matter. While
the railroad kings are directing their
thought towards our section, let us never
cease doing what we can until we hear
the train thundering past - our doors
carrying oar cotton and our commerce to
profitable markets, thus relieving us f
hauling an immense freight from twenty
five ta fifty miles over bad road3.
Wilmington, N.C., Feb. 11th, 1881.
Mb. Editor: .
In the communication of Col. W. L.
Smith, Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners, in your issue of the 10th,
he submits an array of figures to show
the expense of the Superior Court for
1876, as compared with the Criminal
Court for 1880. He does this,he says, "to
enable the tax payers of Wilmington to
form a correct opinion in regard to the
expenses of the Criminal Court of New
Hanover County in contrast with the
Superior Court." ' If Col. Smith had left
out the amount paid .Superior Court
Judges, which was for extra terms of
that Court, and told the people that
there were seventeen weeks of Superior
Court in the year 1876 and Jurors re
quired; that witnesses before the Grand
Jury were then paid, whereas they are
not now; that Magistrates now have ju
risdiction over very nearly all cases that
were then tried by the Court conse
quently the Court docket is largely re
duced the people would then be able to
see something of the expenses of the
Criminal Court. Tfco tru lli of the wai
ter is that all that has or can be saved to
the county lias been saved by the Com
missioners and by legal enactment and
not by thfi Criminal Court, and New
Hanover can still be saved $3,000 a
year by having it in a Criminal Circuit.
