Not one word have we been told as re fuds a rescinding of the resolution to djourn. sad jet it is evident that the Houc did not adjourn on the day set pert for it.

It is understood that a convention of the officers of the State Guard will be held in Raleigh about the middle of January. It is regarded as of special importance that every company in the State should be represented in the con rention, as matters of vital interest to the life and success ot the organization will be considered. A Mink Among; Us. A gentleman resident near the corner of Third and Mulberry streets lost last night every fowl on his premises. It is supposed that the mischief was done by a mink as the bodies of the poultry were all found dead this morning with their necks torn and mangled. Resi dents in that locality should be on the lookout and give his minkship a wsrm reception when they catch him.

On Saturday morning last, the 23rd inst., Mr. John Watkins. of Pender county, while out gunning, discovered a covey of nine wild turkeys into which he fired and killed seven. This would be called good shooting for a young and expert gunner, but when it is known . . eaae srw . i . . that Mr. Watkins is 76 years of age the feat becomes remarkable. He is, how ever, one of the most active men in the county, being able to stand upon the ground and leap upon his horse with the case and agility of a young mau of only twenty years.

We learn that a fight occurred on Monday night, at the corner of Fourth and Church streets, which came very near proving fatal to one ot the parties engaged. During the progress of the fight a white man, whose name was given to us as William Kumlin, was badly cut with a knife or some sharp instrument and had to be carried to his home, where physicians were summon ed and his wounds dressed.

It is with great regret that our citi zens learned of the death, in New York, yesterday morning, of Mr. James Dawson, of this city. Mr. Dawson was Vice-President of the First Na tional Bank in this city, a position as signed him by the Directory of the Bank when the business of the First National and the Dawson Banks were consolidated some few years ago. He was born at Castle Dawson, in the county of Londonderry, Ireland, in the year 181S and was therefore about 66 years of age. He first came to Wil mington in 1836, following his elder brother, the late John Dawson, and af ter first removing to New Orleans and at ter wards to Columbus, Ga., he finally settled here permanently in the dry goods business. The opening of the war found him still engaged in this business, in the store Southeast corner of Market and Front streets. During the war he engaged in the brokerage business and possibly foreseeing the disastrous result, he invested largely in i tne purcnasc oi cotton, wnicn was stored in out-of-the-way-places, where it was found in. safety at the close of the war and when matters had become m a a a a a somewhat quiet. This cotton he sold j to great advantage, realising not less than 75 cents a pound for it and wc at the time heard a gentleman who was ' well-posted in the matter assert that i Mr- Dawson realised not less than , 4300.000 from the sale of cotton at the , close oi the war. He was, therefore considered as perhaps the wealthiest in dividual jn the city of Wilmington? Of late years Mr. Dawson, although owning a delightful residence in the city, which has been kept up with scru pulous care, has resided in the North, returning here occasionall v.

Among other notable things in the dis play was a fire balloon sent up by Mr. Reuben E. Pickett, which pre sented a beautiful appearance. There were no serious disturbances during the day, and not more than the usual num ber of those who were too convivially inclined. The Fire .Last Nig lit. The extensive steam saw mills rf Mr. J. W. Taylor, at the foot of Wul nut street, together with Mr. R. W Price's sash and blind lactory. attach ed to the mills, were totally destroyed by fire last evening. The alarm was given out at about 6:30 o'clock but the tire had made much headway before it became general. The engines and hook and ladder trucks were on the spot in an almost incredibly short time and the firemen were gallantly fighting the flames. Seven streams of water were thrown upon the burning buildings but so inflamable was the material that but little headway was made until the fierce flames had in a manner exhaust ed the material upon which they work ed. The efforts which were made, however, to save the lumber on the yard and the surrounding buildings from destruction were, at last, very successful. The brick building ol Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, South of the mills, took lire in the window cas ings and on the cupola, but a stream of water suppressed them and saved the building. Some of the wooden sheds on the yard, and also i the fence dividing the premises took fire but the flames there were also put out Had Messrs Sprunt & Son's premises gone there is no telling where the fire would have stopped. We have never seen anything burn more fiercely than did the mill and factory buildings and it was a hard fight for our gallant fire men to save the adjoining property. Mr. Taylors loss is estimated at about $6,500, on which there was in surance for $2,000 in the Wilmington Mutual Insurance Company. The en gine and boiler of the mills is thought not to have been materially injur ed by the fire and the estimat- jwsa may perhaps prove to be somewhat less than the amount given above. Mr. i Price was tiro heaviest sufferer. The factory, together with tools, stock, &c, was entirely de. stroyed. His books and-papers, which were in a little office building hear the factory, were all saved. Mr. Price told us last night that he was insured for 6,506 in companies represented here bv Messrs. J. W. Gordon fc Km NortJmjn & Hodlzes and Atkinon rT.ninfr nri tw lw tima i.;c loss at $13,000.
