Returned.
Captain Thomas C. Lewis has just
returned from his' Summer vacation,
which he spent at his old home in New
port, Rhode Island? whither he has been
for the past month. Newport, as we
know, is a great watering place, where
wealth and fashion are to be seen in great
abundance'at this season of the year.
But in answer to, our inquiries as to
whether .he enjoyed many plunges into
the surf, CapL Lewis coolly informed
us that it was too cold up to within a
day or twoofhis departure to enjoy such
sport; that on the night of the Fourth
he wore his overcoat to keep comfortable
and he didn't have any chill either. We
are glad to see our friend looking bale
and hearty, and much improved bj this
little relaxation from business.
Mr. Wm. E.'Colles. Superintendent of

results among my men for burns, cuts,
bruises,' sprains, etc, and never failed to
help them. I shall never be without it
in my house.

We all think it a fearfully hot day
with us here to-day but it is not as hot,
by three degrees, as it was on the cor
responding day f. last year. From the
Signal office we learn, that At 9 a. m. to
day the thermometer at the station reg
istered 81; at 11 a. m., 90, and at-3
p. m. 94 . The maximum temperature
to-day was 95 against 98 on the cor
responding date last year.
From Point Caswell.
The steamer John Dawson arrived
here yesterday afternoon, just as we put
our paper to press, with IS excursion
ists on board from Point Caswell and the
neighboring country. Some of these
went immediately to the Sound in vari
ous conveyances, Capt. Southerland hav
ing sent his four-horse wagonette to the
dock for' their accommodation, while
others remained here overnight and went
down the river this morning on the Pass
port, They are to return to Point Cas
well to morrow on the Dawsen and we
trust that they will all have derived
much pleasure from their visit to the city
and the seashore.
Condition of the Kiier.
The water in the river continues
frightfully low; fifteen inches is the best
depth that can be found at Windham's
Cut, on the shoals. The North State
arrived here from Elizabethtown this
morning and after discharging and tak
ing on a cargo cleared for Kelley's Cove
this afternoon where she will be met by
the A. P. Hurt, when the two boats will
exchange their freights, and one return
to Fayetteville, if she can pull through,
and the other return to this city. The'
Wave when last heard from was at
Elizabethtown, tugging away through

We, of this section, should esteem our

in Raleigh and Charlotte, for instance
the temperature is so fearfully warm as
to be oppressive and the earth is parch

rain, here we have strong, refreshing,
life-giving breezes, night and day. The
seasons have been excellent and the
earth is teeming with fruit. At Raleigh,
the News and Observer tells us that
the earth is parched and dry and the
vegetables in the gardens unfit to look
at and the Charlotte Observer says that
in its section the fruit trees haye been
actually dying from the want of water.

but for thankfulness.

Thisi? a season when the housekeeper

: The French Fourth.
Our Revolutionary allies, the French,

anniversary of the destruction of the
Bastile in 1789, in the beginning of the
French re volution. In honor of the day,

Death of Gem Murphy.
We record to-day the death of one
of the oldest and one of the most truly
estimable of our citizens, that of Gen. Jo
seph S. Murphy. He died at his resi
dence in this city this morning in the
80th year of his age.
Gen. Murphy was a native of Fayette
ville but removed to Wilmington when
a boy and has remained here continuous
ly ever since. He was a gentleman of a
remarkably retiring disposition and of a
strict probity and integrity of character
which had never once been assailed dur
ing the three-quarters of a century of his
life passed here. God. rest him ! There
are too few of his- stamp left among us
now.
Midsummer Thanksgiving.
We second the motion. Let's have
another day of rest, when President Gar
field's recovery, is assured, a day devoted
to thanksgiving and prayer and fishing.
The Governor of Ohio has made a remark
to this effect to the Governors of other
States and the Governors of other States
have responded very cordially. There
will be lots of thanksgiving anyhow, and
a very hearty giving of thanks it will be,
too should the President recover, but
there will be no special closing of banks
and business and time for frolicking as
well as thanksgiving, unless a day is
specially voted for that purpose. And
therefore, we say, let's have the thanks
giving. Call at Jacobi's for Garden Hoes and
