There was a large attendance at the Festival at the City Hail last ni?ht, given by the ladies of the Front Street M. E. Church, aud many of thcarticles ou exhibition and sale were disposed of. Those having the Festival in charge were untiring in their efforts to make the evening a pleasant one to visitors, a task in which they were' entirely suc cessful.

Ia accordance with a request publish ed a few days since in the Review, the people of Pender county assembled in the Court House at Burgaw last even ing to take action with reference to the State Exposition which is to be held at Baleigh during next Fall. Maj. C. W. McClam my presided and Mr; R. K. Bryan, Jr., acted as secretary Speeches were made by Daniel Shaw, Esq., Dr. Satchwell, Rev. W. M. Kennedy, Mr. J. D. Mnrphy and others in support ot the enterprise, and Drs. W. C. Murphy and G. F. Lucas, and Messrs. D. Shaw J.T. Foy, C. C. Woodcock, Robert Durham, R. P. Paddison, J, H. Moore and DJ. Corbott, representing their respective townships, were delegated to collect specimens for the exhibition and solicit voluntary subscriptions in support of this State Enterprise . The meeting was entirely harmonious and very enthusiastic, and we have no doubt mat render win mate a grand display at the exhibition, If a ; "lam Strictly Business." Of course every one will want to" go and see Mr. C. B. Bishop to-morrow night, and have a hearty laugh at his irresistibly mirthful hits and acts. He has recently appeared in Richmond, Va., and of the play and Mr. Bishop's acting the Dispatch, ot that city, says : A fine house welcomed Mr. C. B. Bishop at the Richmond Theatre last night, and every one was ready to ad mit ttfJiy had spent a pleasant evening. Tho new nlay,-"Strictly Business,' was presented, and the leading character, P. P. Phllkins, was assumed by Mr. Bishop. He is funny beyond doubt in his impersonation of an American drummer abroad, and the happiness of hi3 hits was incontestibly proven in the laughter and plaudits of the intelligent and critical audience present. One of the best of the many good things said by Mr. Bsshop is the inimitable bio graphical history of Haggles1 canned goods, which is given by Philkins while on his voyage to the capital ot Russia in an attempt to secure the in terest of the Princess Vera in behalf of his wares. Richard III. There was a good attendance at the Opera House last night to1' witness the performance of Richard III, by Mr. Thomas Wfel?eene, who took tbf title role, and his company. Among the audience we saw quite a number who had been favored with opportunities of seeing this play as presented by some of the best actors of the country,? and who were in consequence, the more competent to criticise last night's per formance: justly. There 'Were ? those present who had seen the Richard III of Forrest and the elder Booth, f who stood unrivalled in this difficult char acter, besides having seen it attempted by would-be tragedians who bad not the intelligence to comprehend the in tricate parts nor the talent to give it a proper interpretation. I a some respects- Mr. Keene's Richard was equal to any we have ever seen, aud in every respect it was very superior acting. It was evident that be had grasped the character in all its bideousness, and his few faults were Toca V which might box . accounted for by the fact that he was suffering from a severe cold at the time. The support wai remarkably good, and especially so with all the female . characters, and as the whole the plav was exceS leutly well renedercd , as was evidenc ed by the fact that the cultured audi ence were profoundly attentive and interested and manifested their approv al by frequen bursts of applause. ; On the Turn . v ; -; Col.

He had a big rock in his pocket when arrested. He was fined $ 10 for the offense, in default of which he was sent below for 30 days. -The next case was Dave Mallette, colored, an old offender, "and a very hard case. He was drunk and disors derly (a frequent complaint with him) in the vicinity of the New Hanover Bank and when asked to desist and leave he became very profane and abusive. He was fined $10, but as the money was not forthcoming, he was sent below for 30 davs. WESTBEOOK This morning', Dec 19 1883,1 at 5.30 O Clock at Rockv Point, of nnenmnrd V Mr. ANDRkWJ. WJCSTBKOOK.
