Through no fault of ours yesterday's Issue of tke Daily Review missed the mail on the Carolina Central R. R. and it is due to oar subscribers on that and connecting roads to state the facts in the case. We were a little later than usual in getting it off and therefore sent itdirect from the office to the depot wbr.ro the postal clerk on the train refused to take it, notwithstanding tho fact that it was accompanied by a stamped paper from tho Postoffiee in this city, which was at the same time an authority and a direc tion to. the clerk to receive the mail. The facts. have been reported to Col. Brink, the Postmaster here, and it wIH bo fully investigated to-morrow. - " For Pocket Knives or Table Cutlery, go to Jixosi'3 LXrd ware Depot t The Firemen. half past 5 o'clock yesterday even- " V " V i . , Z u r : after 6 o clock parade.1 through some of ; our principal streets wan meir engines ; ! and ho?e carnages and preceded by tie j Newbern Comet Band. A largft thron of citizens had gathered at the intersec tion ot Front and . Market streets to witness the trial of skill which was to take place at that' point, and many were the favorable comments made by them oa the appearance of the several companies as the latter marched down Market street to take their respective positions for the trial. In the trial the Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Co. had the South side of Market street, the Atlantic of Newbern, had the North side, while the Iloward Relic! was between them in the centre of the street. At a given signal fires were started simultaneously in the three fur naces, but the Atlantics were consider ably ahead in throwing the first stream. There was a brisk breeze from the South at the time which interfered somewhat with the trial, but as the misfortune fell equally upon each com pany, no fault could be found by either. The trial was hotly contested and con tinued for nearly an hour. ,The com mittee selected to award the prizet Capt. C. D. Myers, of Wilmington, and Capt. James W. Moore, of Newbern, Chiefs of the fire departments in their own -respective cities, have not yet J made their report, but will announce their decision to-night at the supper at the Sea Side Park, which is to be given in honor of the visiting firemen. This forenoon, the Atlantic, preceded by the band, marched from the Purcell House, where they made their head quarters, to the Howard i Relief . HaU and took their engine to the Hall of the W. S. Fire Engine Co., where it re mained uutil it was time to take it to the depot for re-shipment to Newbern. While there, however, they arranged their drop harness, and at 1 o'clock this afternoon they gave an exhibition of the way in which it is worked," which was a novelty and was surprising from the short time occupied in' adjusting it to the horses and being ready to move. At the beginning of the exhibition the horses stood in tke rear of the engine, facing forward, and the harness was suspended on iron rods, which were controlled by automatic pulleys and cords, over where the horses would stand, at tho pole. At i a stroke from the gong the horses iuniped to their respective positions. : the harness came down and each port ; was secured with a snap! spring, the ! driver was in his seat, the horses start- cd, the fire was lighted and the engine was in lhytret in just 30 seconds. It gjyigfj incredible, and we should have tiea.laieu to crcau mc iact umeas we na,j getn it demonstrated ana proveu Dy ; two good watches, both in tho hands of ; unprejudiced parties.

July 24. 1883 The Telegraphers. , There were various rumors in the city to-day in regard to the strike of the Telegraphers' Brotherhood. It was said early in the forenoon that the rail road operators throughout the country would to-day be ordered to refuse all commercial business, and later it was reported, on the strength of a telegram from Richmond, that in consequence of advice to Gen. Eckert cabled from Eu rope by Mr. N. Green, tho President of the WesternUnion.an adjustment of the differences would probably be offered by the company to the strikers. Manager' Sterling" is still without assistance in the office in thi3 city. . "The Weather. A .nice little breeze sprung up a little before sunset last evening, which made it quite comfortable. It continued un til about Jl, o'clock in the night, , when there was a slight shower, lasting until about midnight, during which time there was hardly a breath of air stirring and the. heat was intolerable.. After that time it became perceptibly cooler and the Nearly morning-; hours were agreeable and pleasant. A Good Time. The people of Caintuck township, Pender county, recently; held a good old-fashioned picnic at Still Bluff, on the Black River, which was largely at tended, and at which . there was an abundance of good substantial food to gether with many tasteful delicacies prepared by the housewives of that sec tion. The young people indulged in dancing to their hearts' content, be ginning at 9 o'clock in the morning,! and keeping it up until 7 o'clock in the evening, it was a nappy occasion How to Sleep Well.

Then, if your ruiud be not dis turbed by business or other troubles, whether you have the head of your bed to the Xorth, the South, jthe East or the West, you will ' sleep well. It is not unlikely that a man who has drank beer and whiskey, all day, and eaten enough for a horse, and had been lectured by his wife; who goes to sleep with bis mouth open, lies uncomfort ably, and snores ioud enough to wake all tho neighbors, should say that sleep lessness comes from haying his bed lie in the wrong direction. !
