This morning Flora Tyler, colored,
who lives on Tenth street near Mulber
ry, took clothes front Mrs. Marinda Far
row, living on the corner of Tenth and
Chestnut streets, to put in wash. Short
ly after the departure of the washer
woman, however, Mrs. Farrow- remem
bered that she had left her pocket be ok
containing $4.75 ii the pocket of one of
her dresses, and thereupon immediately
started for Flora Tyler's house. Arriv
ing there, she found the the husband of
of the washer-woman, William Tyler,
who in answer to Mrs. Farrow's interro
gatories concerning the whereabouts of his
spouse, replied that she had gone down
street Mrs. Farrow then directed her
steps to Justice Millis' office and pro.
cured a search warrant. The warrant
was placed in the hands of officer John
Bryant, colored, who at once proceeded
to execute it. Upon the officer's arriving
at the Tyler's house he found the woman
Flora Tyler there, but the husband gene.
The Officer immediately instituted a
search and was rewarded by findiag two
dollars in specie and a one dollar bilL
The woman and the Officer then went in
search of the husband, and overtook hint
near Mr. Henry Haar's store, on Chest
nut and Seventh streets. The man Ty
ler tried to escape and was seen to drop
the pocket book, which he alleges his
wife gave him to keep for her, in a cart
rut, and kick sand over it. The Officer
unearthed it, however, when it was found
to contain one dollar. The parties were
then brought before Justice Millis for
trial. Mrs. Farrow identified the pocket
book and soma of the money. The de
fendants were ccsaitted ia default of
surety for their appearascs at the next
tern of tho Criaiaal Court. .
WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY APRIL
Cotton vs. Corn.
It is a well known fact that oar far
mers devote too little attention to the
cultivation of grain. In fact they do
not make their living on the farm, but
keep the smokehouse and corn crib in
the West. There are a few (but, like
angels' visits, are far between) who are
not 8u h lojal subjects to king cotton,
and raise their own supplies. A gentle
man from this city u few werks since,
while traveling, met an old and
reliable farmer. who always
made his cotton field an "out
side issue." This season he has been
tbreed to tfny eotnrfbr JtTiggrs-t?tee "In
forty-five years. During that long poriod
ho had corn to sell, and it was an extra
ordinary sight to see western corn sold to
this model farmer. He says the lesson
is a good one and as he is not too old to
learn, proposes to profit by it. This
year he has devoted mueh of his land to
the cultivation of cocn and small grain
From many sections we are glad to
note encouraging reports as to the in ten
tion of planters this season. They intend
devoting more time to the culture oj
corn, oats, etc.

The Brick Wall on Front Street.
The wall discovered under the surface
of the ground on Front, near Market
street, on yesterday by workmen exca
vating for .the waterworks is still a mys
tery to some persons. It is about on a
line with the alley between Mcllhenny's
drag store and the store occupied by
Maj. T. H. McKoy, and is .thought by
some to have been a sewer which ran
from that alley in early times about
the year 1825. On the west side of the
excavation the brick forms.an arch, while
immediately opposite about two and one
half feet distant, is the concave side of a
brick well curb. None of .the "old citi
zens" with whom we have . conversed
about the matter are able to explain
what it is. We have not had an oppor
tunity, however, of speaking to "old
Aunt Tiquity" as yet, but will try and
gain some information from her in time
for to-morrow's issue.
Since the above was written one of our
"old citizens" who has reached over three
score years and ten, says that he remem.
bers distinctly a pump which stood
there sixty years ago. That accounts
fer.the well curb, but will some one rise
and explain away the arch? By the way,
the brick of which the curb and arch are
made are about twice the size of the
brick made and used these days and are
held together by about one inch thick
ness of mortar.
The Board cf Health and the Water
Works Company.
The Board of Health of New Hano
ver county met in special session last
night to -consider the propriety of the
Water Works Company excavating
streets for thQ purpose of laying water
pipes at this season of the year.
Col. W. L. Smith, chairman, and
Mayor of the city ; Horace Bagg, chair
man of the Board of County Commission
ers ; and Doctors Will. Geo. Thomas,
Geo. G. Thomas, D. M. Buie, W. W.
Lane, Ed. deL. King, Thos. F. Wood,
W. J. H. Bellamy, E. A. Anderson and
F. W. Potter were present.
It was resolved, as the opinion of the
Board, thatthe excavation of the streets
for the laying of pipes for water works
be permitted to progress until the 15th
of May ; provided, that if during the
progress of the work within the time
named, in the judgment of the Superin.
tendent of Health, it be dangerous to
the public health, he shall require the
work to cease.
The matter of the water supply adopt
ed by the Water Works Company .was
freely discussed, and it was announced
that "In the opinion of this Board the
water from the Capo Fear or North East
river, near Wilmington, is not good for
domestic purposes."
An interesting paper was read by Dr.
Thomas F. Wood on the disposal of
garbage, sewage, et, and on motion it
was referred to the Board of Aldermen
for their consideration.
The Board then adjourned.

Ths Fire List Sight.
The alarm of fire last evening, about
8 o'clock, was caused by the burning of
the roof of the kicthen attached to a small
frame house on Fifth, between Nun and
Church streets, in the Fourth fire distric.
The fire was discovered burning through
the roof of; the kitchen and is snpposed
to have originated from a defective flue.
The fire department reached the scene,
but the engines did not play on the
house, as the fire had been extinguished
by the C. M. S ted man Fire Company.
The greatest .damage sustained was in

The C. C Railroad Meeting.
The stockholders of the Carolina Cen
tral Railroad Company held their -first
annual meeting since the new organiza
tion, at the office of thek President in
this city, to-day at 12 o'clock. The
meeting, we understand, adjourned be
tween 1 and 2 o'clock. What the nature
or extent of the business transacted was,
we are unable to inform our readers, as
they are kept strictly private, and we
presume are not intended for publication.
A Review reporter called on the Super
intendent, Secretary and Treasurer and
Auditor, and. each of these gentlemen
disclaimed the right to furnish- us with
the proceedings. Oar - reporter then
made every effort to see the President
but without avail, as that gentleman, we
were told, was privately engaged, and
would be, until half-past 5 o'clock this
afternoon,and so ends our efforts in that
direction for an item of news.
The Tax Ordinance-
The Board of Aldermen and Board of
Audit and Finance for the city of Wil
mington have published in the shape of a
printed circular, the General Tax Ordi
nance of this city for the year 1881
recently passed by the two Boards con
jointly, orjfc passed by the Board of Al
dermen, and approved by the Board of
Audit. We have not been able to give
the'ordinance more than a cursory exam
ination, yet, but we think it needs revis
ion as it bears unequally on a certain
class of business men. For example pro
dace or merchandise brokers are charged
over 20 per cent, tax on their income,
while a money broker, or ship broker, is
charged only five dollars a month. -The
manifest injustice to tho persons who
pursue the avocation of commercial pro
duce and merchandise brokerage, is at
once apparent. We trust that our city
fathers will give the general ordinance a
thorough and careful examination before
it is sought to be enforced, as there may
be other instances where there is an un
equal and unfair distribution of the bur
den of taxation that is to be borne by
the business commuhity.
Dupiln Canal.
The annual meeting of the stockhold
ers of the Duplin Canal Company was
held at Magnolia, in Duplin county, yes
terday, (Wednesday) the 27th inst. The
meeting was organized by calling Mr.
W. T. Bannerman, . to the chair,
and Mr. R. O. Cowan to act as Secreta.
ry. After ascertaining that a majority
of the stock was represented, either in
person or by proxy, the minutes of the
last meeting were read and approved
An election was then held, which result
ed in the election of the following named
gentlemen as a Board of Directors for
the ensuing year : J. W. S. Miller,
Wm. H. Williams, Jr., W. T. Banner
man, Wm. Larkins, R. H. McKoy,
Wm. Calder and W. L. Young.
Henry Farrior, Esq., of Duplin
county, introduced the following resolu
tions, which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the Stockholders of
the Duplin Canal Company respectfully
suggest to theBoard ofDirectors the great
importance of directing their immediate
efforts in draining the overflowed lands
of Gum Swamp, thereby placing in the
hand3 of the Company one-half of the
lands unclaimed.
Resolved, That wo deem it advisable
to work at such points as may not neces
sitate the blockading of Shelter Creek,
below the head of 'flatboat" navigation,
ia the spirit of economy, and that the
true interests of the company require the
cutting of si nice 'ways and diverting all
adjacent streams through the same, thus
leaving the canal way to the action of
the water without forcing upon' the com
pany the immediate expenso of making
the same navigable until the North Hast
is diverted through it.
Resolved, That we recommend, that
after due notice has been given, efforts
shall be made-to collect, by law, froaf
NO. 51
each and tvery delinquent subscriber,
for all instalments due the company.
Resolved, That the Directors shall, if
they deem it advisable, cut a passway for
'flats? through the blockade across
Holly Shelter Creek. -
The meeting then adjourned to meet
again March 10th, 1882.

My Good Woman;
Why are you so out of sorts, never able
to tell folks that you are well? Ten to
one its all caused in the first place by
habitual constipation, which no doubt
finally caused deranged kidneys and
liver. The surd cure for constipation is
the celebrated Kidney-Wort. It is also
a specific remedy for all kidney and liver
diseases. Thousands are cured by it
every month. Try it at once. Toledo
