" More Light. ,' The street lamps in the particular locality mentioned by us yesterday were lighted in due season last night, but the complaint from other portions of the city was greater this morning Ihart" it has been for a long-time. Somebody should be responsible for the regular: lightingof the Street lamps, but it would seem that no one is. , The Courts. The country people generally look to their almanacs to teli them when the courts meet, and this Fall J.be almanacs fool' them completely.'. Brunswick court convenes next week, and i,yet, according to both Turner's and Bran son's almanacs, the term does not fall due until the second week in October There is a big mistake somewhere. . Onslow Mail. , . We hear much complaint from the citizeng of Scott's Hill, Topsail and others on the posit route from this city to Jacksonville. Onslow county, about the irregularity of the mails running i that direction. They ' seem to? tbink that the mail carrier runs a i schedule entirely to suitj his own convenience, and say that it Is nothing unusual to receive mail two days behind its proper time of arrival. -i- City Court. , ; Lucy Elioitti colored, was r befere Mayor Hall this morning charged with disorderly conduct, but ' the case was continued until Moaday next.for exam ination. v ' iW. H. Scott, colored, was charged with the same offense, but was absent. His case was continued until Monday. James Hill, colored, ; lor throwing rocks in the street, was lotind gulty, but judgment was suspended in his case. ' . . To Kill Flies. . i . It is stated in the British- Medical Journal that the castor oilplant,' when placed in a room, will kill the flies, that plant posscssiong an essential oil or some toxie principle winch is a power ful insecticide. We have but little faith that there is anything .which- will kill flies in hot weather, but wo "propose to send for a lot of the plants, aud have one half of them set out in our sleeping room so that they will be just above our pillow, and the other half we will have arranged around our dining ta ble. By this means, if the plant works half as' faithfully on flies as the oil does On humanity, numberless flies will' die of colic, and we shall bp blc to sleep and eat in some sort of peace. , Sell's Brothers Great Exbib I tion. ' T Thi3 combination of Enormous Rail road Shows, and whose announcements are causing the public to await its coming in anxious expectation, ' will reach this city on the 29thrinst." Thej single fact that this Combination re quires more tents than any other exist ing show, will bear testimony to its comparative immensity and to - the reflecting mind, comes ,the enigma How can a combination so vast, and one requiring, for its dally expenditure, such a necessarily enormous outlay of money, ever take enough money ; at' its doors to make its financial success a certainty? We give it j up! But from the nerve its pluckbr managers evinces in assembling and .putting before tho people a show of snch 'unprecedented magnitude, it would seem that they are strong jn the belief that there is no limit to public patronage, when I fea tures are piled on. features and novel attractions aro massed in such astound ing proportions; as "the union of their various popular amusement ventures have enabled them to accomplish, V'e.'JeeIebraled;?Fish'.'--' Brand Gills Twine h sold bnlyit Jacobus Hard ware Depot.1' USi S'&': !

Her insanity seems to be en tirely upon subjects connected with religion, and she claims, in her inco herent way, that she is an inspired prophet, and that whatever she docs is by Divine command.
