Sheriff Manning received a tele graphic dispatch, yesterday, containing the sad information that his wife's father was sinking very rapidly and evidently near death at his home in Ruraford, Me. The venerable gentleman has been in feeble health for a number of years, af flicted with heart disease, and has been compelled to sleep in a chair for the past two years. Mrs. Manning left on the 625 o'clock train last evening to hasten to his dying bedside, where she will arrive on Tuesday evening mnless some deten tion of trains prevents. The distance is about 1,000 miles. Death or Mr- Salt We were all deeply pained to learn of the death, last evening, at his residence in this city, of Mr. Henry Nutt, one of the oldest and most highly esteemed of our citizens. Mr." Nutt had been sick but a short time, about two weeks, we think, and strong hopes were entertained of his recovery until on Saturday, when a change for the worse was noted and it became evident that his hoars were num bered. Mr Nutt wa3 in the 74th year of his ace. He wa3 either a native of this city or of tho county near adjacent there to. Hia father was High Sheriff of the county abont the years 1814 or 1816. Mr. Nutt embarked in mercantile life at au early age, and by thrift and enter prise had accumulated a handsome com petence. He was previous to the war a Director of the old Wilmington fc Man chester, now the W.f C. fc A. R. R., and since the war was known most prominent ly in his connection with the Cape Fear River and Harbor Works. As Chair, man of the Committee from the Chamber of Commerce, he give his his .time and bi3 attention gratuitously to this great object, and it is not too mueh to fay that the present advanced stage of the improvement was due more to his individual efforts than to those of any other person. The most enduring mon ument that en be raised to his memory is he breakwater which closes New Inlet and he will be remembered in connec tion with this s long as the works shall endure. Mr. Nutt wis a gentleman of the old schoolcourteous and considerate in bis intercourse with all, given to hospi tality, generous to the faults of others and ever alive to the calls of distress. He died full of years, many of which bad been spent in earnest and untiring ef forts for the benefit and improvement of bisnative town and his loss will be felt as a public calamity. The funeral services wiil take place to morrow morning from St. John's Church, thence to Oakdale.
