The funeral of the late Mjor Duncan J. I)e vane took place at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon from his late resi dence The remains were conveyed to the First Presbyterian Church, of which be was a member, where the solemn and impressive services were conduct ed by Rev. Dr. Wilson. There was a largo assemblege of sorrowing relatives and friends to listen to the affecting serv ices, at the conclusion of which the re" mains of the deceased were con veyed to their last resting place in the quiet shades of Oakdale. followed by a long lino of carnages containing the kindred and friends ot the deceased. The pall bearers were Messrs. Duncan K. Mcllae, C. M. Stedmaa. DuBrutz Cutler, Marsdea Bellamy, W. A. Cummiag and Samuel Daily A City's Sorrow. While preparations were in progress yesterday tor the interment of all that was mortal ot Major Dcvane. the Im mortal spirit of Mr. Alexander Sprunt quietly took its flight to the God wlo gave it. The deceased bad been in faiL ins health for several months, causing anxiety to his relatives and friends.bntit was only within tbo past few weeks that hi i disease.had assumed a serious phase and it beaame painfully apparent that his end was rapidly approaching. He continued to grow worse uniil yester day, when at about 3 o'clock p. m., be was released from his sufferings' tho cold hand of death, in tho C9th year of hi age-. " ' j. ' ; - Mr! Sprunf was Tjorh near Perth, in Scotland, but early , ia life re- moved to Edinhurg, where ho attended the high school, which he left j to enter the Universiiy, from which he gradu- acd with distinguished honor. " After closing his collegiate life be was in Glasgow a short time, when he eraiof 500 from estimates! for the Little grated to Port-au-Spain. Trinidad. where he engaged in mercantile pur-; suits as the junior partner in the firm ot Reed, Irvin & Co. He at the same time held the position of Queen's Com missioner at that port. After remaining at Port-au-Spain about fourteen years Mr.Sprunt returned Scotland, whence he emigrated to this city, arriving here in 1S52. Here ho has remained ever sinco actively engaged in commercial pursuits, being at tne time of his death the senior member of the firm of Alexander Sprunt & Son. The de ceased was British Vice Consul at the port of Wilmington a position he has held for tho last eighteen years. He was prominent as one ot the founders of the Second Presbyterian Church, of whicn, at the time of his death, he was one of the Ruling Elders, and in the spiritual advancement and growth of which ho took a lively interest. He was President of the Wilmington Library Association and did effective service in bringing that institution to its present prosperous condition, and was also President ot tho Society of St. George aod St. Andrew, an organiza tiou composed of the Scotch and English elements In our city. Among the good, the true, the kind hearted, the conscientious Christian gentlemen of this city Mr. Alexander Sprunt stood pre-eminent as a worthy exemplar. His business qualifications were of a high order as was evidenced by the success which attended his com- mercial affairs. They were energetically oursucd. but with such a scruDulous a u :u .v whom be had business transactions that his honor and integrity remained untarnished and bright to the end. In the social relations of life in his daily walk and conversation he was the co.urtcous, affable, and accomplished tentlrman. lie nau not an enemy in the world, but there are thousands who when they hear the sad announce ment of his death, will truly say that a zood man has departed. He had befriended many by kindly, cheer- tul encouragement and material assis tance, yet tbcro was no ostentation, no display in his benevolence. His death will bo a great loss to our city and will create a void, especially in the commer- cial world of Wilmington.such as it will be difficult to fill. His funeral took place at 4 o'clock this afternoon, the obsequies being conducted at the Second Presbvterian Church, and thence his remains were conveyed 10 vaKuaie Cemetery for interment. Personal.

The Charlotte Observer of yesterday's date, in speaking of the proposed exten sion of the Carolina Central R. R. to Spartanburg, says: Col Bob, of Spartanburg, who ha been to Baltimore in tne interests oi the extension of the Carolina Central Railroad from Shelby t Spartanburg was in Uhariotte yesterday on i nis xe- turn home. He was met at the Central hotel by an Observer representative to whom he stated that his visit was a very successful one. In Baltimore h met Maj. Robinson, and other Seaboard officials, who received him most favor ablv and eaye him every assuranee of their readiness to aid in the proposed extension. UoJ. uabo says tnar tne matter is now in such a shape as to almost make the extension of the road a certainty. So thoroughly has the interest been aroused in the projected extension that there is to be a big rail road consultation in Charlotte to dav or to-morrow to dis- cuss it in an ns aspects ii The railroad from Augusta, Ga., to Spartanburg. S. C, known as the Au gusta. Greenwood and Lairrens rail road, win ue cumpxeieu to o. arianourg before June 1. ine Carolina Central road is completed to Shelby, in this State. There is a gap of fitty mjles be tween Spartanburg and Shelby, and.the two roads mentioned are anxious o secure a through line from Augusta to New York. Io order to do this a road between Spartanburg and Shelby must be built. Sparta bnurg has voted a snb- scriotion of 75,000. and Rutherford county has voted $100,000. to be applied ia building a road trom bhelby, by way of Rutherford ton, to Spartanburg. It is now announced that tho Goorgia Central company, which owns the Au gusta, Greenwood and Laurens road. and the Carolina Central Com- 1any will meet in Char otte to determine the ques tion of aiding tho building of the road. The seaboard system of rail roads, of which Mr. Robinson is presi dent, is cut off at Charlotte by the Rich mond and Danville company, controll ing the Atlanta Air-Line, and the Char lotte Columbia and Augusta roads The road from Augusta 'to .Spartanburg! is a rival line to the Richmond and Dan ville, and the object in view is a through Aortn and South line irom angusta to New York, over the Augusta, Green wood and Laurens roads, and over the roads controlled by President Kobin so a. It is believed that the parties to the Charlotte conference wilt agree to furnish additional aid that may be neces sary to build the road from Shelby to Spartanburg. Expressions of gratitude on the part of the public are always impressive and solemn. It is - pleasant to know that the people arc justly praising the merits of Dr. BuiTs Cough Syrup, a saieremeay xor cougas, emu, uiw NO. 88 Caster. Th Long Lenten fast is at an Morn many end will and now and the Reserrection be with us to-morrow. So so sweet are the memories that are as sociated with this "Queen of Festi vals," and so multifarious and varied are the quaint customs and pretty le gends which endear it to every christian heart, that one finds it a little hard to know where and how to begin to say anything about it. The word Easter literally means the rising, and" proba bly derived its name from the Teutonic goddess of Spring Oitera or Easier, whose festival occurred about the same time of the year as tho celebration of Easter. In the olden time, it was of tentimes called "The Lord's Day of Joy," 4iThe Great Lord's Day," I'The Bright Day,n each of which is especial ly significant. j Easter Day commences the first San day after the full moon which h3ppeiist upon or next after March the 21st; ands should the full moon happen on Sun day, Easter Day then must commence with the following Sunday. So, by this rule or arrangement, Easter may j com" mence as early as March 21st or a3 late a3 April 25th, Not long since it fell on the 21st ot April j and it may well be added, 4a3t a little remarkable, that in no year since the introduction of the Gregorian cal endar in England has it occurred on the latest possible date (April the 25th), though in two years, 1761 and 1818, it fell on March the 22d, which is the other limit. - j j In the year 1880, Easter Sunday will fall on April the 25th, according to the new Gregorian method of computation, for the first time since the year 1734 or eighteen years before this style was ac cepted id England. The, only other occasion since the reformation of the caiendar by Pope Gregory XIII upon which Easter has fallen on the latest possible date, was in 16G0, and after 188G this will not occur again until 1943. The services in the churohes to-mor row will be bright and joyful. The Church, indeed, puts on her brightest robes, and rejoices over the fact-of a risen Saviour. . Tbe Opera House. There was rather a small audience at the Opera House on Thursday night to hear one of the finest Operas, so far as the musical composition was concerned, that now holds a position on the Ameri can stage. The "Queen's LaceHand Kercniei," by jonann btrauss. is a bright, cheery, crisp creation with beautiful melodies and most delightful harmonies, and as rendered by Patter son a New xorK upera company was a treat rarely to! be heard in this section of the country. IThe voices were melo dious, the intonations correct and the time perfect. Much of the excellence ot the performance was due to tbo watch fulness and consummate skill of the musical director, but the artist 3 were pain taking and conscientious in the per formance of their respective parts. It deserved a house packed to its utmost capacity, j Religious Meetings. Large congregations assemble nightly at the First Baptist Church in attend ance upon the series of meetings now in progress there, j We are glad, also. to note the constantly increasing inter est which is being manifested la spirit oil things. The meetings will probably b3 continued through the coming week. NEW AIVRTISEMJSNT8 City Drug Store. 1216 SOUTH MAKKRT STREET. I f YOU WANT GOOD AND PURE MED lclnes call on old Conoley" (-Hm).
