The beautiful weather of yesterday
changed last night to rain, and this
morning it was wet. the streets were
muddy and there was . a general disa
greeableness in out of door woik4
especially in news gathering.
Thera is a plenty of .wood on flats
at the docks, and it is now being sold
at very reasonable rates. This is very
frequently the case in Christmas times,
and it i3 no unfrequent thing " for the
wood to be sold at such seasons at
prices far below those usually obtained.

disastrous Fire.
Between 1 and 2 o'ekck this morning
fire was discovered in the largo three
story rice barn oL Messrs. Preston
dumming & Co.", ?at' the Clarendon
plantation, situated four and a half
miles below the city on the Brunswick
side of the Cape Fear river. There
were no appliances for extinguishing
the flames, and very few persons in the
vicinity so that the barn with all its
contents, including rice, seed riceand
all the machinery for cleaning and pre
paring the rice for market, were des
troyed. Nearly all the crop had been
sold and a portion of it delivered.
Hands were at work there yesterday
and the day before in bagging the re
mainder of the crop for market, and
had it not been for the fire a large
portion of it would have been delivered
to-day. The barn was an excellent
building and all the machinery was of
the best and most approved kind. The
fire was evidently the work of an in
cendiary. The loss has not yet been
fully ascertained, although we learn
that it is fully coverel by insurance.
An Indian Jtlound.
On a high oak ridge on the planta
tion of Mr. R. H. Murphy, in Colum
bia township, Pender county, and
about half a mile from Moore's Creek,
there is a mound which has long been
known as the ''Indian- Grave Yard,"
although until recently nothing has
been definitely ascertained regarding
its contents.' Sometime ago a man
in the neighborhood had the curiosity
to dig into the top of the mound, and
before lie had made much progress he
found two human skulls. This
aroused the interest of the people of that
locality and upon the invitation of Mr;
Murpby, a party of ladies and gentle
men, together with the pupils cf Mr.
Mclntire's school, a few. days since as
sembled at the moond to se what fur
ther explorations might develope. In
removing the arth human bones were
found within a few inches of the
surface, while others were found at
the depth of. 3 feet. There' were 10
skeletons ioud, some of - which were
in a remarkably good state Of preserva
tion; all the teeth being present in both
upper and under jaws. The. skeletons
were not placed in any rfegnlar order,
but were scattered promiscuously
thiough the mound. Some of the skulls
were lying face downward while others
were face upwards. They were very
small with the exception of one, 'which
was large and quite singular in shape.
Some of the bones had evidently, been
burned or charred. ' Some suppose that
tbe originals of these .skeletons were
killed in battle, although there werejno
warlike instruments found to indicate
that such was the fact.; A few small
conch-shaped shells were' found that
bad been probably worn as ornaments
as each one had a small hole ia it.. The
mound is now covered .rcith a crorrth

Death of a Good -Man.
Capt. W. H. Brown, a well known,
and one of the most highly respected
citizens of Bladen county, died at Lis
home, near Carver's Creek, in -that
county, on the 12th inst " He had been
afflicted with a severe and excruciating,
ly painful carbuncle upon' the back of
his neck for several weeks, but it bad
not been thought to ,be in the least
alarming as to its consequences, but
blood poisoning set in, Which terming
ated his life. Capt. Brown was. we
think, about 55 years of age, and leaves
a wife and;4 children. In all the affairs
and duties of life Capt. Brown was a
man of irreproachable integrity and a
kind-hearted neighbor and citizen.
New and Pretty.

A New Programme;
In regard to the proposed entertain
ment to be given for the benefit of the
Ladies Benevolent Society, mention of
which was made in our yesterday's is
sue, we learn-that while some of the
most notable features of the recent en
tertainment, for the benefit of the Li
brary Association, will be retained,
other new, novel, and decidedly "inter
esting features will be added, by which
the attractiveness of the occasion will
be greatly enhanced. Those who will
take part in these new features, the
character of which will be announced
in due season, are. busily engaged in
making the necessary . preparation, so
that they may be presented tin proper
shape. Care will bo taken that every
thing shall be ready with promptitude,
so that there -will be no disagreeable
' waits" tj annoy and weary the audi
ence. :-'. t .r.: .

The Tramp Nuisance.
i The ety is failyoverrun with tramps,
of all size?, sorts and descriptions. They
may be. seen in eyery1 street, 'alley,
highway and by-way.. .They have got
ten to be most annoying nuisances.
They are as bold as if bey were en
gaged in some proper and legitimate
business, , and . when they make a de
mand for s.'nlething to eat, it is often
in a manner highly offensive and often
grossly insulting. We hear of ai n-
stance where one of these strolling Vag
dbonds called at a house and demanded
work of a lady, the wife of ene of oar
prominent business men. and when
she replied that she had no work for
him he used such insulting language
that she shotthe door in his lace and
he' went off mutteringVengean'ce against
her. - The lady was considerably alarm'-'
ed, as well she might be These vaga
bonds take the opportunity to call when
ther are tolerably certain that there are
no men about the premises.1 We hope j
that sometmng xaay b done to mace
Wilmington . too hot to hold them', and
that by a few wholesome lessons, they
may be warned to giva cur "city a wid3
