Higthy document nor is it a very aoie verv interesting one, but it has one pnaine merit, the subjects it treats 01 re presented in the lewest possioie cords and as clearly as tne space wmuu h,, been availed of will permit. The message opens with the usual congrat ulations on another year of peace and urosperty.

C n Dr of the most peaceful relations with that country and with be other States and powers of Central America ; refers to the question of ter urinating or modifying the present reaty with Hawaii ; to our relations with Persia. Siani. Corea and China ml aludes to a philanthrophic move ment now being- made on the Eastern coast of Africa which should receive the sanction and protecion of this coun try. h The reports of the heads of the vari ous departments are briefly alluded to. The total receipts, actual and estima ted, for the present fiscal year arc $313,000,000 ; total expendidtures, actu al and estimated, $259,000,000; estirua ted amount due the sinking futod,' 1 $13,816,741.07: leaving a balanec of $39, 183,258.93. If the revenues for the fiscal year which will end on June 30, 1335, be estimated upon the basis of ex istins laws, the Secretary is of the opinion that for that year the receipts will exceed by $60,000,000 the ordinary expenditures, including the amount de voted to the sinking fund.. The Presi dent recommends that a large portion ol the surplus revenues be applied . to coast defences. In regard to the Nation al Banks it is recommended that they be allowed to issue notes to the amount of 90 per cen of the market value of their deposited bonds. The militia question is again relerrcd to and urged, and the rccoru niendation of the Secretary of the Navy as to an inter-coast line of waterways is endorsed . The reconstruction of the navy is urged, as is also a civil service government for Alaska; the inter-State railroad question is touched upon,lightly and obscurely; the Congress is urged to pass a law by .which the President can approve an appropriation bill in part as'he may elect and i the paper winds up with a left-handed recom men d&tion ;that another, unconstitutional civil rights bill be passed by Congress.

J. Swann vs. L. A. Hart and J. C. Bailey, which is not yet conclud ed. There are four; cases in which F. J.

An old man by the name of Moore, accompanied by a little girl of 8 or 10 years of age, arrived in the city to day in a covered wagon, drawn by quite a decent-looking horse and followed .by several dogs. The man stated that they were from Mattapoisett, near New Bedford, Mass., which they left during the first week in June, and were bound for Florida, where they propose to, set tle. They had all their cooking uten ails.with them and; most of the. time while they have been on the 'road have, camped, out. .They wanted to take shipping from l this ; port, but as they were disappointed in : that, they; will ppnUnufliheir : way as they began.

The Newborn Journal says; Wej learn that on Wednesday . evening . one of New Bernes - most attractive daughters will be united in marriage to one of Wilmington's worthy business men . The ceremony will take placo at Christ Church at 8 o'clock. No cards of invitation have been issued Ju New Borne, but we learn from good authority that all the friends of,. the, family are expected to be present at the ceremony, and at the reception directly, afterward. Badly Bitten. Mr. W. JM. Poisson, who lives on Mulberry, between Sixth and Seventh streets, owned a bull dog which he considered very valuable. Yesterday a colored boy, who lived in the yard and was perfectly familiar with the animal. often feeding him, and towards whom the dog had been always friendly, start ed to so to the stable, when the brute, from some unaccountable - cause, flew at him and bit him terribly before he could be taken off. Hearing the screams of the boy, who is about 15 years of age. those who were near by ran to his as sisiance ana it was only alter a severe struggle that they succeeded in rescuing him from the jaws of the" infuriated beast. They beat the animal and threw water on him, and when finally they had released the boy, they had to put him over the fence , to keep the dog from tearing him to pieces, as the latter was furious with rage and seemed de" termined to vent his spite iipon his vie tun. 1 he boy would undoubtedly have been killed In a few moments had not a sistance reached him. He was terri bly lacerated on the arms and will be a sufferer xor some time on account - of his wounds. The dog was subsequently killed, but not until four charges of shot had been lodged in his body, which dis abled him so that a man approached him and knocked him in the head. "Lives of great men always remind us that we are all subject to die," says an exchange, but never cough yourself away as long as you can raise 25 cents for a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough . Syrup. Report of Chief of Fire Depart ment. At the last meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, the Chief Engi neer of the Fire Department made the following report : - x ' - His Honor Via Mayor vnd Board of Aldermen: , . ; Gentlemen: Since my last report. I am glad to state that there have been but few fire alarms and small damage to property. Tne alarms, when beard. have been quickly responded to by the department, and I again take occasion to say that tile promptness and efficien cy of the members are to be commended. I again respectfully call attention to the imperfect system ot nre alarm. Primaruy the present fire bell is entirely too small for the requirements of our city. . It may have answered the pur poses ot the Town Jof Wilmington 40 years ago, with its 6,000 or 8,000 inhab itants, but the' City of Wilmington, of to-day, with its 20,000 souls, its manu factories, compresses; new mills, stores and fine dwellings; and its trebly en larped and thickly .grown boundaries, requires and demands a louder-alarm, which can only be obtained by replac ing the present bell with a much larger one. Either the present location or the pfient manner of ringing the alarm, is not onlv a source of annoyance to our ever-willing firemen, but one of general complaint among our citizens. : or In regard to tne matter oi employing the steam tug TFm. Ifyce as auxiliary to the fire department, I desire to say that I have conversed with and explained the matter to merchants, deeply inter ested, who are impressed with the ser vice such a boat could render - in the vent of a conflagration on the river front. A statement recently appeared in the Stale Chronicle, that 27 vessels Jhave been known to be at the. Wilming ton Compress Cos wharf at one time. Should a nre occur in mat vicinity, what could our engineshose reels and hook and ladder companies do? Our wharves are piled with ' cotton and naval stores, and there are whole blocks where a steam fire engine would find it difficult to get water from the river. Tho coat of 150 feet of hose, to be used only for fire department service, and the cost of holding this or any' other steamboat, would not be heavy. I press this matter again because of your action at the November meeting. Noth ing has been done, and you may wait a day or a week and then regret not hav ing acted in what seems to jritf a very important matter; and for which I may be held responsible. ; t. Re8pectfally, Chas.D. Myers. ; The Planets fri'December.' The astronomical editress of 5 tfeeS Providence Journal has contributed her usual summary, 0( ths.moVeruerit of j planets dnnns December, bne ;Ctves Venus the place pi- honor evening star, setting oa the 1st abeui';halfrrjssi Qve oclock lit theeteamt iSdftt the end of the month ah Uoar ater, With greatly increased size imd brilliancy; Those who can command a view of the llfllW. : eastern and western horizons will see at the end of the month Venus setting and. Jupiter rising ttt nearly the same time. Saturn is also an evening star. andean be seen throughout the night. and until nearly daybreak. Neptune and Mercury are also evening stars. The December moon fulls on the 13th, and on the 1st was in conjunction with Venus about half past . four o'clock- in the morning-: On the 11th- tha mooni pays her respects to Neptune.; On ; the 12th she . makes ; a close, con juntion with Saturn,' being about one degree South. In some places in southern de clination, Saturn is occulated by 'the moon for the ninth and last time during the year, t ; On the 10th the moon is at her nearest point ;to Jupiter, on ; the 18th to Mara, on the 2ist to Uranus, and on the 3 1st to Mercury. On the 31st the moon has made the circuit of the planets, and swings around for the second time to the near neighborhood of Venus. The conjunction takes place not far from; half-past twoo?clock in the afternoon, when Venus is 6 deg. 61 min; souths Planet and crescent will however, make a lovely picture on the evening sky. . As the moon sets twrt hours and a half, and Venus two hours after the sun, the exhibition may be seen by all observers, unless the envious clouds obscure the beautiful scene. Mr. Speaker!"
