Not many months ago, the London
Times spoke of Pennsylvania as being
iu Philadelphia. In its comments
upon the defeat ol General Butler, it
refers to him as the Governor of Penn
sylvania. That the Princess Louise ol Wales
and the Duke of Portland are to be

Three .bankrupt laws have been en
acted and repealed since the adoption
of the Constitution. The first was passed
in 1800 and repealed in 1803, the second

1867 and repealed in 1878. All three

the receipts nearly $300. Minstrel

The attention of the' Court is still
engaged in the trial ol the S wan n cases,
and we are informed that they will

formerly Pastor of the First Baptist
Church in this city, will serve theBapU
ist congrgation of Laurinburg next

Home A era in.
The colored men who migrate from
this State to South Carolina and Geor
gia every year to work iu the turpen
tine forests are beginning to return to
their homes here to pass the Christmas
holidays and spend their hard earned
money among their friends in the "Old
North State." Quite a number of these
migratory beings were in the city to-day
on the way to their homes in Duplin,
Sampson and Wayne counties..
I The Black Dwarf .
Undoubtedly the spectacular event of
the season will occur next Tuesday
night, the Uth inst., at the Opera House
when the Black Dwarf will be present
ed. The play is similar in plot to the
Black Crook, except that the objection
able features that were introduced in
that spectacle have been eliminated
from The Black Dwarf, making it an
interesting, play, in which the skill of
the painter and machinist have been
taxed to their utmost in giving effect to
the story as represented On the stage.
The Methodist Ministers.
Rev. T. Page Ricaud is in the city
and will preach in Fifth Street Church
to morrow morning. This will not be
his last sermon as he will remain here
a week longer, by special request,' and
will preach his last sermon on Sunday
next. Re? F. H. Wood is not here
and we understand that there will be
no preaching in that church to-morrow.
Mr. Wood is expected to return to the
city next week and will preach! his
farewell sermon on the following Sun
day. Oh, the Bells!
One of those hhappy events" which
all young folks talk about and think
about and dream about occurred last
Wednesday night, at Kenansville. It
was the marriage of Mr. W. H. Gil
bert, of Greenville, N. CJ, to Miss An
na E. Millard, a beautf ul and accom
plished young lady, the daughter of Mr.
D. E. Millard. The ceremony took
place at the residence of the bride's
father, Rev. Dr. Spfuht officiating
The groom is the eldest son of our good
friend Dr. W. J. Gilbert, formerly of
this city, but for many years past a
resident of Fremont, in Wayne county.

Literary Exercises.
The Young- Men's Hebrew Association
of this city held a very pleasant meet
ing at Germania Hail last night. The
proceedings were made insteresting by
literary exercises and vocal and instru
mental music, rendered by some of our
best talent. Of the ladies who parts
cipated and aided materially In the
entertainment of the j occasion, Mrs.
1 Kahnweiler was the vocalist and Mrs.
Dryfoos gave a recitation, both render
ed with exquisite taste and pathos.
There was reading by Mr. J. I., Macks
and a harmonious sketch by Mr. Joe
Hart, while Mr. IvGreenewald gave an
excellent selection on the piano. '
We are glad to know that the Associ
ation is in a prosperous condition and
that a deep interest in its success pre
vails among all its members.
A False Alarm.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock this morning
the people residing in the vicinity of
Walnut and North Second streets were
aroused by cries of murder uttered by
some one on the sidewalk, who was
evidently making his way up Walnut
street as the same cries were heard at
about the same time on the corner of
the latter and North1 Third street. The
nerson making the alarm then turned
towards Market street and changed his
cries from murder" to 'police." which
he continued to shout until taken in
charge by a policeman He proved to
be a colored man, well known in the
city and claimed that some one was in
pursuit to kill him. He was taken to
the guard house, but it was a consider
able time and with, a good deal ' of
difficulty that he was convinced ' that
his life was not in peril He hnd I been

j The English Sparrows,
i We have a very pleasant note from
Mr. R. C. Taylor, formerly the Super
intendent of the National Cemetery in
this city, but who, .as our readers are
aware, has been recently promoted to
the charge of the Cemetery at Fort
Scott, Kansas. As Mr. Taylor made
many warm friends here during his
residence among, us who will be j glad
to bear a word from him, we take the
liberty of publishing here a portion of
his letter: ; 1
I see in your issue of the Daily Re
view, Nov. 27th. a paragraph stating
that the English sparrows have arrived
in Wilmington in: large numbers. I
claim the honor of first having intro
duced them . in your vicinity, having
bad a shipment to me from Washing
ton, three years ago, of 16 of these birds.
They increase very rapidly, and from
my experience and all the information
that I have been : able to; gleam, they
will prove a blessing to the market
gardeners ol your vicinity in a few years.
Whenever you see the gentle littie fel
lows hopping about over your streets,
think of me kindly. -
This is the most delightful climate I
have yet seen. Chills and fevers are
unknown here.
