The width of: the Snow Marsh channel is abput 270 feet at tha upper end and 250 to 200 feet at tho lower .end, and the work ou it, which is progress- ing finely, reflects great credit on Mr. Bacon, the U.

I Tho wing on one side of the main building is three stories high and the dining-room, which is in the opposite wing, is 60x20 feet. The location is one of the most beauti ful in Smithville, and we hear that the accommodation of the hotol are to be still further increased by tho 'addition of the Morrison house, just j opposite, which it is said that Capt, Perry has leased, thus making the accommoda tionssome 55 or 60 rooms in all.

Library Associa tion, through Col. F. W. Kerchner.Jiias recently extended invitations to Sena tors Bayard and Vance to lecture! here for the benefit of tho Association ! and we are'sure that our readers will join with us in regretting the fact that they can neither of them accept, be cause of pressing duties and other en gagements.! Wo have been permitted to publish the replies, received from those distinguished gentlemen and they are as follows : U. S, Senate Chambek, Washington, April 24, .1882. F. W.Ketchncrt.Esq.t ! Wilmington, N. C: Dear Sir: If it I were reasonably within my power I would be very glad to comply With your desire! that I should deliver a lecture before thc Li brary Association in your city, but I am. so surrounded by duties and en gagements that it is impossible for me to comply with your request. Wish ing every success to your Association, I am, very truly and resp'ly yours, T. F. Bayard. Washington, D. C, April 25, 1882. Mr. F. W. Kerchner: My Dear Sir: My engagements are such! that it is impossible for me to promise to lecture for the benefit of yonr Library. I have been betrayed into some engagements that have given me much trouble and I could no more ac commodate my friends who ask me to address this, that and the other associa tion then I could, move tho w irld. My strength is not enough. If I had the strength often men I couldn't do it. So you see now how I am compelled to de cline going even to my own -towns and among those! care most for. ' As soon as Congress adjourns I will , have that committee of investigation on my ! hands, and ,then the canvass work is to be done ; so that I see but ' little rest before iwv You will see that my reasons arc many ind strong for not doing what wohIq accommodate thc people of Wilmington. Everv mail brings some such request, and so X have to say no to my best friends. -" t I Yours truly. Z. B. Vance, "Rough on Rats.

Physicians were sum moned but before they arrived one of the ladies succeeded iu checking the flow of blood. The unfortunate woman was placed on a couch aud conveyed to her house. ' Our Facilities and . Insurance Premiums. There are now in this city seventy five fire hydrants, 1 of which sixty are double and fifteen single.j In addition to these there are several private hy drants and the city has recently made an appropriation for thirty additional oues, which will be placed in position at the earliest possible moment. The authorities have had made- about twen- ----- ty-five large cisterns, in different por tions of the city, and our fire department teas well organized and equipped as that of any city in the South. A fire hy drant is almost of as much use in an emergency as an engine, but notwith standing all of these increased facilities for extinguishing the fire fiend there has been as yet no deduction on fire insur ance rates which are looked upon by the property-owners of the city as burden some and out of all reason. It is awell- Kuown iaci mat we nave not nu sue- ; .1 " ceut fire" in the past two years and the insurance companies have met with but few and comparatively small losses.
