A Dundee dairyman was recently convicted of selling milk which had stood in the room in which a child was li with scarlet fever.

There are about 54.000,000 people in this country, and the number ot stamps,' stamped envelopes and postal cards sold to the public last year was 1.861, 689.699. or only 341 to each person. That seems a small allowance, but the abies must be counted out. and even then we have only about one letter or postal card ia five for the people of the writing age. When it is considered what a vast number of letters, circulars and postal cards are sent by a com paratively small number of business men. it will appear thara large pro portion of tbe population still makes no KS3Cftt3r -taI ies.

As near as can uow be ascertained Dr. Watson, will probably be conse crated as Bishop of the diocese of Eat Carolina ou or about tho Second Sun day in Lent, which will fall on the day of March next. It will be necessary to receive the consent of a ruaiority of the standing committees ol the various dioceses, iu the country, 42 in number, and after tnis the consent of the Bishops is also to be obtained. Sometime there ; are reasons why this consent should be ! withheld out iu this instance there is I none. . As soon as the consent of s tbe I camraitteea and the bishops has been j obtained, the Presiding Bishop will namo tho day, hour and church in which the services of the consecration are to ba held aud this, we think, will iu all likelihood be St. James' Wilmlng ton, where of course it should be. The Presidiug Bishop will also name three or uvore prelates of the same rank to administer the servicesi Death of Mr. Bauman. We greatly regret to learn of tho death of Mr. John G. Bauman, an old and highly esteemed resident sf this ci.y. It was very sudden. Last Friday hie wa afflicted with a paralytic stroke and on Sunday morning, less than two days afterwards, he had passed .over the river. Mr. John Gerhardt Baunianwa3 born in . Lesum, near Blumenthvl, Hanover, Germany, on Februay 23d. 1816, and was therefore nearly 67 years of age at the time ot his death. He emigrated to this country when quite a youth and about the year 1836 he arrived in Charleston where bo resided until 18.43. when he removed to Wilmington and opened a grocery busines here which .waa-conr tinued by hi in on his own account with an interruption during tho War until a few years . ago." Mr ;Barrman was married twice.' His" first wife was Miss Ellen Fitnauii- of -Norfolk, who died and left. him eight children, seven of whom survive him His second wife was Miss Elizabeth Connor, of this city, by whom there Is' no issue.! T f ; Mr. Bauman was a man of a singularly ; modest, quiet and retiring disposition and was warmly regarded by all who knew him for his kindly heart and genial nature He leaves many and warm friendsjhere who will mourn him and we do not believe that he had an enemy in the world. The funeral services took - place this afternoon from St. Thomas Church and as a mark o! respect to his memory the flags ot the German vessels were at half ma3t daring their progreze. ... Personal. Rev. Dr. Patterson preached In St. John's Church last night.
