We learn from timber Inspectors that

timber has declined from $1.50 to $2.00

Captian Harry Brock, Chief of Police
of the city, received yesterday morning
from Magnolia, a postal card informing
him of the murder of a colored man near
that place named Adam Bass. The,
horrible deed, the postal went on further
to state, was committed by his hal
brother Handy Bass, a young man some
20 years of age, short of stature, being
only about five feet, high, and who car
ries a sullen and downcast look. The
escaped murderer is supposed to be
making his way for this city where he
has relations or to South Carolina where
he has other kinspeople. It . is to be
hoped he may be caught and brought to
justice.

steamers ply between this city and Fay

transportation up the river of the iron

To-morrow i3 Easter day, the Queen
of Festivals; so recognized because it is
regarded as the anniversary of the glori
ous Resurrection of our Lord and Sa
vioar after His Crucifixion. The Sun
day after the first full moon after the
Vernal Equinox is the anniversary of the
Resurrection otherwise known as Easter
day, Under the new dispensation this
is why Christian people celebrate Sun
day, the first day of the week as the
Lord's day, instead of Saturday the Ser.

ed to observe as God's day in the Old
Testament.
Mjlliarj News.
Under this head we glean from the
JVeivs and Observer some items which
will be of interest to our friends in the
State guard:
Companies are preparing in all parts
of the State to go to Yorktown. It 'is
understood that twenty-seven companies
will attend. These will be organized
into three regiments and one battalion
of infantry, and a battery of artillery.
One band, and only one will be allowed
to each regiment, and nly one, State col
or and one national color will be allowed
to each. The carrying ef flags by va
rious companies will not be permitted.
A series of encampments, as required
and provided for by the new militia law,
will, it is understood, be held during the
coming summer. The First Regiment
will encamp at Kinston, the Second at
Wrightsville, on the sound below Wil
mington; the Third at Greensboro; and
the Second Battalion at Cleaveland
Springs. The First Regiment will be a
grand feature of the unveiling of the
monument to Got. Caswell at Kinston,
on the 6th of August, probably.

Death of Henry Ohlandt.
We regret to announce the death of
Mr. H. Ohlandt, a prominent German
citizen of this city, who departed this
life at the Commercial Hotel in this city
this morning about 7 o'clock from an at
tack of erysipelas in the head. Decased
came to Wilmington from Charleston, S.
C. about the year 1854, and has resided
in this city for the past 27 years. During
the" war he volunteered in the Confed
erate army and served his adopted coun
try in Howard's cavalry, and afterwards
in the Third N. C." regiment of cavalry.
He was an honorary member of the
Howard Fire Engine Company, but was
serving the Company as Treasurer at the
time of liis death. He was an active
member of this Company almost from its
organization to within a few years since.
The deceased was born in Wuldsdorll
in what was then the Kingdom of Han.
over, in the year 1839 and was conse
quently at the time of his death 42 years
of age.
Henry Ohlandt was a genial and com
panionable person, and a man of consid
erable intelligence. He lived a quiet
and unostentatipusl life and could boast
a large circle of friends, both among our
native as well as our German fellow citi
zens. His nearest relative in this coun
try was his sister, Mrs. Toilers, the wife
of our fellow-townsman, llanke Toilers,
Esq. Mrs. Tollers, however, is unfortu
nately absent on a visit to New York
and will not be able to be present at the
last rites over the remains of her dead
brother, which takes place to-morrow
morning at 9 o'clock at St. Paul's Eran
gelical Lutheran Church, and from thence
to Oakdale Cemetery. May he rest in
Obierylns the Day.
Yesterday, Good Friday, wa3 observed
by the Roman Catholic, Episcopal and
Lutheran Churches of this city bymorn
ing and evening services. At the 'Lu
theran Church there was confirmation at
night when six persons were conBrmed
by the pastor. Rev. G. D. Burnheim, D.
I).
Several of our most prominent com
mission houses on the wharf were closed
during the day as well as a great many
other business places in different parts
of the city. Nearly all of our German
fellow-citizens closed their places of busi
ness faring the entire day. The Pro
duce Exchange aud the banks were also
clo?ed.

ton, y. C:
Dear Sir: The heated contest over
your supplemental ;bill for the relief of
farmers and fishermen has excited much
interest and wide-spread attention. It
marks you anew a3 a man of the people
ana lor tne people. The bold stand you
have , taken for this measuie of deliver
ance, the very efficient and signal ser
vice you 'have rendered in breaking down
tne monopoly ot the new Market House
organization of Wilmington, and thus
standing by the rights of labor -and se
curing for farmers and fishermen the
benefits of a free market, endears you
still more to the producers and indus
trial classes, and excites the thanks of
the people of Pender. As seme evidence
of this grateful appreciation we are au
thcrized to tender you a public dinner at

Wilmington, N. C, April 13, 1881.
Gentlemen: I arrived in the city
last night after an absence of more than
a week and found your very kind letter
awaiting me. This will account for the
long delay of my answer. I wish it were
possible for me to accept an invitation,
so courteously extended, and go grateful
t me in its term3 and spirit, but I
cannot make an engagement to be with
you at an early day, being unable to
foresee with any certainty that 1 -can
keep it. I have never received - aught
but kindness from the entire people of
Pender county, and 1 am deeply sensi
ble of this renewed evidence of their re
gard. It is always pleasant to have the
approval of one's own conscience; it is
still more pleasant when to that is added
the approval of friends. I should not
have hesitated, however, in ray course
upon this Market House question, had I
been deserted by my every friend and
neighbor. - Knowing full well, as I
thought, tht meaning of the comtract
which was sought to be enforced 'against
the people of this city and surrounding
country, realizing that its terms were
manifestly wrong and unjust, I should
have been a traitor to the people amongst
whom I live, and a coward unworthy of
their confidence, had 1 hesitated. The
contract, with the ordinances intended to
enforce it, which I think were destroyed
by the Supplemental Act, drafted by
myself, was not in my opinion compati
ble with the rights of a people living
under our great Republic. The cry
raised by its advocates, that the Act in
terfered with the police and san
itary regulations of the city of Wil
mington, .was but the flutter of the
partridge to decoy the hunter from its
young. It had for its basis neither the
sanction of law, of reason, nor of truth.
Yet I have never blamed any person for
an honest difference of opinion on this
question. Freedom of thought and free
dom of speech upon public matters, as
far as is consistent with the feelings and
rights of others, are guaranteed to all
citizens in this country. I heard, many
years ago, from the lips of my aged and;
honored father, and 1 have read again
and again from the Constitution of North
Carolina, that monopolies are contrary
tathe genius of a free State, and ought
not to be allowed. Perhaps the lesson
taught me was a mistake, and it may be
that the Constitution of our State is all
wrong. This dream of a free govern
ment may be a myth, and it may be that
the many should toil for the few. I do
not so think, and all I ask for is the lib
erty of my own opinion, which I shall
exercise, please wnom it may. i
With a profound sense of gratitude
te the people ot Pender county, for the
feeling which has prompted their ex
pression of approval of my conduct, and
regretting my inability to accept their
ofier of hospitality at an early day, lam,
Tery truly yours,
. Chas. M. Stkdmax.

widely known under the title of Old
Probabilities. But quite as well known is
Prof. J. H. Tice, the meteorologist of the
Mississippi Yalley, whose contributions
to his favorite study, have given him an
almost national reputation. On a recent
lecture tour through the Northwest, the
Professor hajl-a narrow escape from the
serious consequences of a sudden an.l
very dangerous illness, the particulars of
which he thus refers to :
.The day after concluding my course of
lectures at Burlington, Iowa, on 21st De
cember last, I was seized with a sudden
attack of neuralgia in the chest,- giving
me excruciating, pain and almost pre
venting breathing. My pulse, usually
80, fell to 35; intense nausea ot the
stomach succeeded, and a cold, clammy
sweat covered my entire body. The at
tending physician could do nothiug to
relieve me; after suffering for three
hours, I thought, as I had been using
St. Jacob's Oil with good effect for rheu
matic pains, I would try it. I saturated
a piece of flannel large enough to cover
my chest, with the oil, and , applied it.
In one hour, I was entirely free from pain,
and would have- taken the train to fill an
appointment in a neighboring toVn, had
my friends not dissuaded me. As it was,
I took the night train for my home, St.
Louis, and have not been troubled since.
