The increase of freight traffic on the different railroads terminating in this city is such that extra trains will soon be added, as is usual at about this time ot year.

N. Ci, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER Biver'NeWs. The rise in the Cape Fear, occasioned by the recent storm, haa proved much less than was expected. Steamboatmen report only about 8 feet on the Shoals, which is a rapid decrease, showing that the amount of rainfall in the up-country was not very large nor long-continued. L . Boots and Shoes. Messrs. Drytoos & Stern berger, of the "Famous Boot and Shoe House," in this issue tell their friends and patrons and the public generally where good boots and shoes may be bought at bottom prices and of first class material and 'workmanship. They have an cntensive and well selected stock lroni which to choose, and they offer their goods at prices that are within the reach of all. The Benefactor. Steamship Benefactor, Capt. Tribon, which arrived hence at New 'York on Friday last, reports that when oft Cape Lookout, on Sunday, the 9th inst., she encountered a heavy from N. N. E., veering to S. . W., in which she had her forward house carried away. From this it would appear that the storm was raging in that locality several hours belore it began here. Dispatch. , The steamship liegulalor, which ar rived here at about 9 o'clock on Thurs day morning last, discharged her cargo und took in another one. aud completed the work at 11 o'clock Saturday night. enabling her to start on her return trip at 5 o'clock on Snnday morning. She brought a full cargo and her i return freight was equally as large. This enormous amount ot freight was all handled in two days and 14 hours. which may be considered unusual dis patch. ; ' I Caught at Last. Jim Green, colored, who was in dicted two years agb by the Grarid Jury of Brunswick county , bult who had managed to eyade the officers of the law, was captured on Sunday morning, the 16th inst., by Sheriff Tay lor, at a place on Town Greek, known as Snowfield, and brought to Wilmington, whence he was sent to Smithville for trial by the Supreme Court, which convenes there next Monday. Green is one of a gang of ten or a dozen, all of whom are colored , who make their headquarters in the Snowfield section, and who make their living principally, by stealing cattle, hogs and in fact, about anything they can lay their hands on, animate or inanimate.' The noto rious Joe Goodman, whose capture we recently announced, was one of the delectable crew, and there are several others nearly or equally as bad as he is. The peculiar locality where they reside, with no white persons in the I neigh borhood, makes it almost impossible to capture one of the gang, and when that is effected there arc enough ready with a common' interest of prctcction in view, to establish the innocence of the accused by any amount of hard swearing. I ; A fine assortment of Guns and Pistols at Jacobi's Hardware Depot. t The Greatest Show Extant. - i - This is the reputation gf the Uni- versal Exposition" of the Sells Brothers, and from what we learn by the general press of the country the name is not podrome of enormous magnitude, em bracing a company.of equestriennes and general performers of the highest celeb rity, a comprehensive museum; and a zoological department that embraces an amalgamation of three extensive men ageries. Jn ; the latter there are more rare animals than have ever before crowded iu one exhibition. A male and female hippopotami, and we believe the only fulNgrown specimens ever ex hibited in America, a singular double horned rhinoceros, a monster in size, weighing more than .five tons, a large school of sea lions, a herd of giraffes, an immense flock of ostriches, and an immense herd of elephants of all sorts and sizes, and trained to perform all manner of incrediblej feats. There is an exhaustive variety of strange and exciting performances ' advertised, and as this company is remarkablejbr keep ing faith, in showing all they advertise, those who visit the show will not be disappointed. A tribe ot Maoris, na lives of Australia, are among the curi osities.1 - X . It will be in" this city on Saturday, September 29th, and &we predict that their vast canvasses will be filled to re pletion. ; : r - - V - 1 "V;; -i- ; Every honseof the human race, tught to have St Jacob's Oif, the pain-cure. !

A force of hands were soon at work putting the street id proper shape again. i . ' ; . An Honest 3tan. There, ia one honest man in the world at least, Mr. Ed. 'Judkins, a conductor on tire Mount Washington Railway, found a pocket book containing a small amount of money and a railroad ticket which evidently belonged to some one in Wilmington or vicinity as the ticket was sold here. . The lost property may be recovered, as Mr. Judkins is anxious to restore it, and if the owner will call at this office we will tell him how he can get it. i ... The Opera House, , The theatrical season in this city opens at the Opera House to morrow night, when "Only a Farmer's Daugh ter," will be presented. This will1 be its first presentation here an'd we are consequently unable to judge of its merits only as we can gather them from the press of cities where, it has been played. The company who will appear to-morrow night in said lo be a good one in every respect, und of the merits of the play we select the criticism of the New Ytuk Tribicne which saysi It is a peculiar drama, bold in its portrayal of wickedness yet thrillingly interesting. In the working out ot the plot, the action is admirable, though very bold, and the audience followed the developments with keen interest. City, Court. Rena Pearsall, a colored damsel, was the first case presented for, theMayor's consideration this morning. She was charged with disorderly conduct, the charge was sustained and she was re quired to pay a fine of $5 or be confined in the city prison for 30 days; She went below. v ! Stephen Livingston,aisp colored, was arraigned on a charge of vagrance, but judgment was suspended in his case. He has been driiting about 'the streets for two or three weeks,hayingcame here from the Sound, and was found sleep ing in a stable. He is seriously afflict ed with a scrofulous affection, one side of his face being distended out of all proportion, and it was the opinion of the Court that if he could by any possi bility secure employment and thereby a home, it would be much better than to inflict any penalty, upon the unfortu nate creature. . Sanitary Matters. There is no mistaking the fact that this is very unhealthy weather of the most unhealthy season of the year, and it behooves every one having the care of a family to use every precaution for the prevention of sickness. Premises should all bo kept as clean and dry as possible and disinfectants should "be freely and frequently applied around all outhouses in order to prevent as far as possible the approach of -.disease. , The, city i officials are doing" air 1 m 'their power to prcservihei. health ;Of , our citizens and keep cbntagin'xlfrdm bur doors, but they, be'they eve so efficient and faithful in the discharge .of their duties, can accomplish but little unless they have the cordiaL co-operation of . t ... . n ' ; FiLL me citizens, jeromvnuw umn lire middle of October is Ihe danger-period, andwe hope that xnrpeo"ple3 will heed the axiom that "an ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure," and do all in their power to preserve the health of the city. " ,. .-' ," . , A Sagacious IoT. j , During the height of the storm on Tuesday mornirfg last, a flock! of tame ducks and geese took refuge -on the lee side of ' the sleeping quarters oa Zeke's Island, occupied by the fisher men employed by. Messrs. W. 1 E. Davis & Son. j . Such was the, severity of the storm that the sand was washed from under the feet of a number of the fowl, and they were floated off and were unable to reach the land again. In this predicament they were noticed by "Snyder." a valuable dog belonging to Mr. W E. Davi3. and he promptly went into the water and taking one of fowls by the leg or wing brought it unharmed Ashore and put it in a safe place among the grass, j This he - re peated seven times, bringing either a goose or a duck ashore each time- .No one was lost. The dog is a cross be tween a full blooded English pointer and an Irish setter, is about four years "old and has always been a . great favorite with the fishermen, but now they almost idolize him ; His feat of Thurs day morning was witnessed by , ten or a dozen men. . 17. 1883.
