' Dulb Madame: In reply to your let
ter asking what I think of your Remedy,
I would say that the sales have been very
fair, and so far as I can learn, the . Reme
dy has been very satisfactory to. ,my cms
tomers if ho haye used it, especially so in
the case of a little girl of this city, ten
years of age, who was troubled for a
long time with sores breaking ; out over
the face 'and "neck, having the appear-
ance of Scrofula, and which had resisted
the usual alterative treatment for a long
ticSa.- She took four bottles of the Bit
v ters last Spring, when the sores entirely
'I disappeared,"and up to this time she has
. had no return of them, her skin , looking
as fair and clear as anyone's. " "t r
Tthsting that yon may receive the sue
cefs which yflur Remedy seems to merit,
- I am, very respectfully ypurt,

Ben Moore, colored, was arraigned for
being drunk and ' disorderly. The testi-
many of Officer. Stone, who made the ar
rest, assisted by Captain. Goodman, was
to the effect that defendant was drunk
and disorderly and when he was arrested
resisted most violently, besides cursing
and abusing the police. The Mayor or
dered the defendant to pay a fine of $10
or go to prison for 30 days. Not hav
ing the necessary wherewith to pay the
fine, the transgressor was escorted below.
A case of an affray was turned over to

Calhoun Williams, colored, was next
arraigned upon the charge of acting in

on Market street, the arrest having been
made at the investigation of the store
proprietor. JThe testimeny given in by
Mr. McLean showed the: offence of the
prisoner to be quite a grievous one, bJt
the prosecuting witness testified. that he
thought the man somewhat luny. The
Court took this into consideration and
told the defendant he must be out of
town before sunset. The defendant
agreed to return to Florence, S. C,from
whence he came here, and was thereupon
discharged. . , Y i

If the astronomers are correct in their
predictions, we will have bright meteoric
showers on the 18th, 19th find 20th
nights of this month. The best time to
observe this interesting phenomena will
be between midnight and moon-risiDg.
In the east, after nine o'clock in the
evening, the planets Jupiter and Saturn,
will be conspicuous. Jupiter cannot fail
to be recognized, for it is by far the most
brilliant object in the sky except the
moon. To the right of it and higher up
from the horizon, Saturn will be seen,
fainter than Jupiter, but with no neigh
boring star to rival it in brightness. As
these planets are now approaching opposi
tion they are coming into the most fa
vorable place for observation, giving us
the whole night to study them at the
time they are nearest us. The "red
spot" which has been observed lor sev
eral winters in the southern hemisphere
of Jupiter still exists, seemingly un
changed, and bids fair to be a permanent
markinsr. Bv watching its' successive
returns any one with a small telescope
may determine the time of. rotation of
Jupiter on its axis. It will be found to
be about nine hours and fifty-five and a
half minutes. Mars rises later, and to
wards dawn Venus comes upvery bril
liantly above the horixon. .
One marked event stands prominent on
the October planetary annals. This is
the ODoosition of Saturn, the most in-,
teresting for study during the month.
When the fall moon has taken
on its waning phase the moonless nights
will be glorious with starry and planet
ary beauty. Saturn will lead the brother
hood that will shine among the clustering
stars " throughout the serene October
nights. Trooping after him with un
swerving step bright Jupiter and ruddy
Mars will follow, with unseen Neptune
and Uranus to fill in the wavering line.
The October moon filled yesterday. To
morrow, two days after the foil, she is in
conjunction with Saturn and Neptune.
The October faQsioonis sometimes called
the Hunters' Moon, as her consecutive
early rising was supposed to be a help to
the sportsman in continuing the light to
help bin on his way.. " ' '

- Death ef Gen. Abbott-
Gen. Joseph C. Abbott died in this
1 city, at about half-past 12 o'clock te-day
His disease is said to have been from
softening of the brain. He has been
failing' for years past although he has
been confined to the house for only a few
weeks past. He died at the residence of
Rev. T. ,M. Ambler, on Fourth street,
where he boarded, with his wife and her
mother. , " 'l. V.
Gen. Abbott was 56 years of acre. He
was born, in Concord, . New Hampshire,
and first came to Wilmington with the
Federal troops when they.; entered the
city on its evacuation by the Coafeder
ateson the22d day of February, 1865?
His'rank was that of Brevet Brigadier.
General of Volunteers and he command
ed a brigade. ; He was Adjutant-General
of New Hampshire previous to the war
and was a man of prominence in his na
tive State. During the war he raised a
regiment of volunteers, of which he wag
made Lieutenant-Colonel, and en the
death of the commander of the regiment,
Col. Putnam, who was an old army offi.
cer, which occurred at Battery Wagner,
Gen. Abbott was made full Colonel. He
was present at the second fight at Fort
Fisher and for gallant and
meritorious conduct then was pro"
moted to be Brevet Brigadier-General.
He was appointed Commandant of this
post,and remained here after the close of
the war, and when his command was
mustered out of service. In 1868 he
was the most prominent Republican in
the city. He was elected to the Legis
lature in that year as a member of the
House of Commons, from this county,
and not long afterwards was chosen by
the Legislature as U. S. Senator, to fill
the short term, which then had three
years to run. The Democrats coming
into power, he was not re-elected.
On his return to Wilmington, Gen.
Abbott organized the Cape Fear Build
ing Company and became President of
that organization. ' Abbottsburg,' where
the works of the Company were located,
was named for him. His business
ventures were, however, unsuccessful
and it is said that he lost $100,000 at
Abbottsburg. These losses seem to have
preyed upon his mind and to have been,
remotely, the cause of his death. He
was twice married, his second wife sur
viving him, but he has no childeen. He
has been for several years pasta close at
tendant on the services in the First Pres
byterian Church, and it is from that
Church that the funeral will take place
to-morrow afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. The
remains will be interred in the National
Cemetery, Col. Brink having telegraph
ed to Washington to-day and received
the necessary permit from the War office.

loss of one who was ever ready to proffer
the hand of aid and tne voice or sympa
thy to the needy and distressed.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records of this Company
and a copy thereof be transmitted to the
Wilmington, JN. U. papers.
