DtiR Madaux: In rerjlv to vour let-
let asking what I think of your Remedy.
I wonid sav that the sales have been very
lair, and so far as I can learn, the Heme
dy baa been very satisfactory to my cus
tomers who have used it, especially so in
the case of a little girl of this city, ten
years oi age, who was troubled lor a
Ion? time with sores breaking out over
the face and neck, having the appear
ance of Scrofula, and which had resisted
the nsnal alterative treatment for a lone
time. She took four bottles of the Bit
ten last Spring, when the sores entirely
disappeared, and up to this time she has
tad no return of them, her skin looking
as fair and clear as anyone's.
, Tiosting that you may receive the suc
cess which" your Remedy seems to merit.
I am, very respectfully yours, .

A horrible accident occurred to-day at

whose other name we could not ascertain,
while engaged near a- circular wood f aw,
stumbled and fell against the saw. His
right hand was cut nearly through the
palm, and his arm was also pretty badly
cut. He was taken immediately to Dr.

The KdKwrood Folks."
Sol Smith Russell, with his fine
troupe, will appear here next Tuesday
evening in the play he is now running,
"Edgewood Folks." The advertisement
appears in this issue and the sale of seats
will commence at Messre Dyer & Son's
to-morrow morning. The Philadelphia
Evening Xews says of Mr. Russell and
bis play:
"Edge wood Folks" is a play which
has many elements of popular success,
and in the hands of the present company
cannot fail to draw large, houses. It is
full of touches of the comic side of hu
man nature, and satirizes the gushing
sentimentality of the average novel as
well as much other romantic -nonsense.
In Tom Diiloicay, who is an eccentric
indiyidnal who makes himself quite hap
py with everybody, singing songs and
playing all kinds of pranks, Mr. Sol
Smith Russell has a part admirably
adapted for hi3 special line of acting, his
character delineations Deing almost as
perfect as hi3 rapid changes were won
derful. He is a great master of the
facial expression, and his make-up for
his second song celebrating the virtues
of Rhine wine, was one of his most com
plete transformations. Jan
HardwicJct sentimental ; old maid
with a weakness for moonlight and "lad
ders' at "her chamber window is one 01
the best parts in the play. The audience

The rarolina Central.
Up to 1 o'clock, to-day the Carolina
Central R. R. had not changed hands,
but negotiations are progressing so fa.
rorably that the probabities are it will
soon be accomplished. The following
information is all that has absolutely
transpired which can be made pablic and
it is published by us authoritatively.
Negotiations have taken place at
various times between Capt. Murchison
and Col. Robinson for the sale of a large
interest in the Carolina Central. Mr.
Edward Matthews, of New York, acting
as agent for his wife, Mrs. Virginia B.
Matthews, who holds a minority interest
in the road, having heard of ihe negotia
tions, undertook to enjoin a sale of
the securities which were under negotia
tion. We are informed that Mr. Mat
thews has for a long time endeavored to
obtain control of the property in order
to make a sale of it himself to Col. Rob
inson, with whom he had frequently con
ferred for that purpose. We now under
stand that these . injunction proceedings
haye been dissolved, it being shown that
Mrs. Matthews has no claim. We are
assured, however, by Col. Robinson him
self that in the event of a sale the man
agement of the company will not bo dis
turbed and that Capt. Murchison will
continue as its President.
Reintnttcences of an Old Fort Built
br the British in Wilmington in
1781t
In January of the yearl78L Wilming
ton was occupied by British troops, and
a strung garrison, under the command ot
Mnjor Craig, was left in the town. The
garrison was composed of infantry, artil.
lery and a detachment of cavalry. The
cavalary force established headquarters
in the old Episcopal Church, which stood
partly on Market street, not far from
the present location of St. James'
Church and which commanded the
npproaches from the old Newbern road
as well as from Brunswick ferry.
Immediately after the occupation of
tho town by the British forooa a fort
was erected near the corner ot Second
and Nun streets, on the lots now occu
pied by Ma. Thos. H. McKoy and Mr.
R.B. Jewett. This Fort was an earth
work with its parapets strengthened by
sand bags and garrisoned by an artillery
and infantry force. A well was sunk in
the Fort, cannon mounted and a maga
zine constructed, and it was considered
at that time to be a formidable
stronghold. . The location was said to
have been selected by Maj. Craig's
engineer officer on 'account of its
commanding view of the town. A flag
staff was erected, from which floated the
British flag, and the morning and even
ing guns which reechoed their thunder
across the waters of the Cape Fear each
day, reminded the inhabitants of the
presence of a hostile foe.
In November, 1781, just one hundred
years ago, the fort was dismantled and
the garrison withdrawn, to the great
relief of the inhabitants of Wilmington,
who had been sorely oppressed during
the rule of Major Craig.
In the year 1839, the late Daniel
Fergus, then owning the greater por
tion of the land upon which the
fort stood, cut down the hill consid
erably, to erect some buildings thereon.
In excavating they came upon the lower
part of the flagstaff which bore evidence
of having been cutoff. It was a char
red stick of pine, in excellent preserva
tion, about iour feet in length and about
afoot in diameter. Numerous other
relics of the garrison were exhumed, con
silting of grape shot, cannon baJJs, mus"
k2t balls and flints, initial buttons, fcc.
A century has passed away since the
last tread of the British garrison re
sounded in the old Fort and since that
November morning sun looked down
upon the glad faces of the inhabitants of
Wilmington, as the last file of British
soldiers disappeared in the distance.
Long since Us storm beaten parapet suc
cumbed to the hand of time and sunk
back to the common level of the plain;
and there is no visible vestige remaining
to remind the occupants of its now peace
ful domain, Jbow formidable this spot
once appeared in the eyes of the people
of Wilmington..
Recently the remains of some masonry
underground have been discovered on
the site by Major McKoy, which it is
supposed had some connection with the
old fort, as no building was ever known
to have stood there previous to the pres
ent one, and this discovery has revived
the memories and , traditions of the old
fort ' ni isjBtsted this iketci.

: The Rlrer Mall
The people living along the line of
the Cape Fear river, between this city
and Fayetteville, seem to have no rights
that the Postoffice Department is bound
to respect. They represent an influential,
an industrious and an enterprising pco'
ple and are as much entitled to mail fa
cilities as the people of any
other section. At the best they hare
but two mails a week, and even this
service is reduced to one mail per week.
The following, from the Fayetteville
Examiner, is pertinent to the subject,
and we endorse it :
The semi-weekly mail service on the
Cape Fear riyer by means of the steamer
Worth, has been reduced to a weekly
service, and the office of mail agent has
been abolished. This is a very ques
tionable piece of economy on the part of
the government. If the authorities at
Washington will go to work and expend
the money appropriated by Congress in
making the river navigable at all sea
sons of the year and retain the semi-
week ly mail service, it would continue to
be a real public benefit. There is an
immense traffic on the Cape Fear River
and the business interests of a multitude
of people require a prompt and frequent
mail service. The recent low stage of
the river instead of being made a pretext
for reducing the frequency of the mail
service,' ought rather to have afforded
an apportunity for putting the river in
such a condition that there would be no
interruption of the prompt and regular
carriage of the mails.

Fashion Notes.
In the line of winter chapeaux there
are a few pronounced changes, what
might be classed as exaggerated style.
The "huge" poke will take the lead in
society headgear. This style is very be
coming to some faces, and particularly
when the wearer tilts the bonnet over the
forehead. Beaver hats are gotten up in
a showy style; the brims are remarkably
wide, and 8 ome of the designs have the
front rolled back considerably,' which
style is only becoming to a youthful
face. English walking hats, Der
bys and feathered turbans are all
fashionable. The chief feature ia win
ter millinery is the great variety
presented in the plumes used, the major
ity of which have double shadiDgs.
There is ah upper and under hue of op
posite dyes. For example, a plume with
the flukes showing a deep marine blue
has the under flukes in scarlet. Velvet
chapeaux are popular. They are adorn
ed with beads and moire ribbons, and
often the trimming is composed entirely
of ostrich tips and plumes. Tinsel plush
holds a prominent position in millinery
ornamentation, and this style has com
bined with it rich chenille cordings,
which give a gay and pleasing expression
to the chapeaux designed for ceremonious
occasions.
