There was no City Court this morn ing. The storm signals were flying to day. Two white tramps were lodged in the guard house last night. This month has five Thursdays, five Fridays and five Saturdays, Nearly all the busioest houses on Water street were closed to-day. Many of the stores were closed to day, and the clerks and salesmen bad a holiday. il We gain this month-39 minutes of daylight, niue in the morning and 30 in the afternoon. This has been another beautiful day. but a cold wave is coming and "don't you forget it." We wish all our readers a "Happy New Year," and hope that they all may "live long and prosper." Rung out the old, ring in the new; ring out the false, ring in the true ; and ring for beer and oysters for two. Full moon last night! Likewise fu'i man who wanted ono more good drunk before swearing off forever on New Year. Yenus will be morning star until April 28th and from thence on. until the close of the year will be evening star; i The suits that Dyer is making lor $20,00 are simply superb, and lots of orders are being left for winter clothing and some are taking the advantage of the low price and order spring goods. t Probably three hundred families had jowl and peas for breakfast this morn ing, for "good luck" during the year. The jowl stands for cheek, you know, and the other things for peaseful sue cess. There will be two eclipses of the sun and two of the moon this year but nly one ot each will be visible here. These are the annual eclipse of the sun. March 16tb, and a partial eel pe of the moon, Sept. 24th. tfThe adjourned meeting ot the citizens of New Hanover county, which is an nounced elsewhere in this issue to be held at the Court House to-morrow night, will be important in character, and we trust that there may be a large turnout to take part in the proceedings. A colored military company arrived here from Charleston, S. O, to-day and paraded through our streets this after noon, during wh.ch they executed sev eral military evolutions of an unnsual character with much precision. The company numbered eight men with muskets. S . - . Firemen's Parade The different colored organizations connected with the fire department of the city paraded in front of the City Hall this afternoon. There was a good ly number ra line and they presented quite a fine appearance. Subsequently tbey paraded through some of our principal streets. ; Pounded The good people ol the Fifth Street M. . Church gave their new pastor, Rev. D. H. Tattle, a noble pounding with all kinds of good things on New Year's eve. Through this medium he returns his sincere thanks, and says that, he has more thanks in heart for another such a treat. The substance of this call' will be long remembered. Good materials properly por portioned which are the essential requisites in Ready mixed Paints can be beat attain ed by using the N. Y. Enamel Paint old at Jacobi's Depot. t Daily WILMINGTON. N. C THURSDAY. JANUARY St James' Home. The Christ mas Tree and Festival at St. James' Home yesterday afternoon for the benefit of the children connected with St. James1 church was a pleasant affair. In the absence of the rector. Mr. J. H Boatwright, Superintendent ot St. James' Sunday School, conducted the exercises. Each pupil received a present, and all were made as happy as it was possible for childish mortals to be. Christmas carols were sung by the children and were rendered in ex ceUenJttyleNand taste and with all tbe enthusiasm and spirit which happy and gratef ul hearts could express. TVt i 1 1 ( a ft.r The next encampment of the Second Regiment, N. C. S. 6. will be at Smithviile, and will probably be held sometime in June next. Efforts are already being made with a view to have the regiment .go into camp with full numbers and it is also expected that some of the companies of other repimenis wiil be present. Wc hope that such may be the case and that there may be a full turnout with prizes offered to the best company in a com petitive drill as an incentive II would be pleasant if some of the military or ganizatione of our sister Siate of South Corolina would also be in attendance. A Good Joke. This morning while everything was quite and serene a well known broker of this city, met "Henry," and asked hiinu he had any objection to piayinga trick on one of our grocery houses. "Certainly not,'-' was the reply. A box of lemons, with the top taken off, was at the door of the house, upon which they placed a placard with the words ' Take ono." Parties passing by saw the invitation and in a few minutes the box was nearly empty. One of the proprietors, happening to come in front ot the s' ore. saw the sign and also that the lemons were nearly all gone. He began an investigation, found out what had been going on, and promptly rendered a bill of $5 to tbe broker. . The Afiveutists Agaiu. The Advent ists again come to the front and afterrepeated failures in fix ing a date for the final mundane col lapse are now sure that it will take place on The 4th inst. They have issued a circular in which they claim positively that the world is to break up, and that Gabriel's horn will blow on January 4th, 1885. Their explana tion of the failure of their prophecy in 1884 is that "the measuring line was laid wrong," The Adventists arm that in prophecy a day is a year In Ezekiel, 4-6, it says : ' 4I have appoint ed thee each day for a year," and in the same chapter it says : "For at the time appointed the end shall be " The time appointed Is 2,300 years, and, ac cording to the Jewish calendar, that time will be up January 5, 1885, but reckoning from the advent movement, it comes one day sooner, January 4th. The faithful will leave Denver, Colorado, on the evening of January 4. and go to a spot distant about five miles on the Golden road, where they will remain to await the summons. Oh. the morning of the 4tb, just at daybreak, the earth is ex pected to swing to ami fro like a pen dulum. The sky, they say, will assume a blooi red appearance, and nature will swoon and die. "Then the heavens wiil open in tbe east and we will as cend." As they have fixed upon Sunday as the day ot doom many will have an opportunity of witnessing the show who might otherwise be too busily en gaged. I , . ' Tbe Opera House. "Peck's Bad Boy" was presented a1 tbe Opera House to a fair audience last night, and was heartily enjoyed, it was full to overflowing with fun and the audience were kept in a roar of al most continued laughter. The com pany is a good one fuily up to the average and the play abounds in sit. uations which called for the exercise of their best acting. They gave a mat nee this afternoon, and will leave on to-night's train for Charleston, where tbey are to appear to-morrow night. Personal. Mr. Willis Turlington, of Bennetts ville. S. C is here on a short visit to his family and friends. Capt. Walter Coney, formerly of this city, bnt for a number of years a resi dent of Charleston. S. C, arrived here this morning. We were glad to see him and to know that he was ia ( ex cellent health. Kevikw. A Good Time. The grand ball, gotten up under the auspices of Germ an ia Lodge. No. 4..K. of P., held last night at Germ nia Hall, was a brilliant affair. There was a large assemblage of ladies and gentle men present, tbe music by tbe Italian band was excellent, the best of good feeling prevailed and the dancing was kept up until 3 o'clock this morning. All who attended were delighted with the pleasures of the occasion . Vessels Arrived. Daring the month ended December 3 1st, 1884, the number and tonnage of vessels arriving at this port were as follows : American i steamers, 3.602 tons; 15 schooners, 3 888 tons; a total of 19 vessels and 7.580 tons. Foreign 13 barques, 5.288 tons; 6 brigs, 1,654 tons; a total foreign of 19 vessels and 6 942 tons, and a grand total of 38 vessels, aggregating 14 522 tons. During tbe year just ended the total number of vessels arriving at this port was 434, aggregating 176.478 tons!. Hymeneal. Yesterday's News and Observer says : "Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock one of Raleigh's most popular young ladies' Miss, Mary Walker Strong, was mar ried to Mr. John Calvert, a young man who certainly has many friends here. The bride is a daughter of Hou. George V. Strong, and her beauty is-' only one of her many charms. The marriage was a quiet affair, taking place at the residence of Judge Strong, Rev. Edward R. Rich officiating. The at tendants were .Miss Malvina Cowan and Mr. B. Grimes Cowper. Only a few intimate friends were present. Mr. and Mrs. Calvert left on tbe 4 :45 train, for Charlotte, their future home. Death of Capt. Tate. Capt. Robert Tate, whose death is announced in our obituary column, was a Scotchman by birth, and came to this country when he Was about 18 years of age, making this city his first abiding place. He will be well remembered by many of our citizens. During the war he was Captain of Co. B., of the 18th N. C. regiment, in which he did efficient service. He moved to Bladenboro, Bladen county, before the war, and had resided there ever since. He was a genial hearted gentleman and will bo sadly missed by his large circle of relatives and iriends. His widow and eight children survive him. Mr.C.B. Bishop. This talented, well-known and favor iic comedian will make his appearance with a good company at the Opera House on Monday night, January 5th. The play will be Widow Bcdott, with Mr. Bishop in tbe title role, j In speak ing of the play the New York Herald says: ;' I It would be a. bard matter to find a more side-splitting entertainment than that given at Fourteenth Street Theatre, to-wit: "The Widow Bedott," with Mr. C. B. Bishop in the role of the obstreperous, husband-hunting "relict." His droll sayings, bis malapropisms, his wonderful facial play and his irre sistible bounce kept tbe audience in a tide of laughter that never ebbed until the curtain fell upon the wily Widow and her prey in the last tableau. A Faithful Servant Dead At the dawn ot the New Year Mam ma Rosetta, the old family servant of tbe late Talcott Burr, Sr., breathed her last. Born in 1806, she was in hor 79th year. At tbe close of the war her hus band, Charles Hill, body servant to Dr. John Hill, Sr., asked her if she was willing to leave her former mistress and make with him a home for them setves. She refused to leave those whom she had served from her childhood, and he heartily agreed with hex, telling her mistress that be only thought more of his wife for her decision, j He was then invited to make his ' home with her, which , he did, bat soon fell a victim to that i fatal fever which visited us in the Spring ot '65. She survived him, though, herself too ill at tbe time to bear of it, and scorning to receive wages from those who had ever treated her with kindness and consideration, she has always made her home with her former owners by whom she has been as tenderly cared for as a relative could have been. "Faithful unto death," she died in the hope of a bless ed inheritance. She will be buried from St. Stephen's Church to morrow (Friday) morning at 10:30 o'clock. Her colored friends are invited to attend. Step Ladders, all lengths,at Jacobi's Depot. t 1, 1885. HO. 1. DIED. TATE At Bladenboro, Bladen county, ea Htm evening of Dec. sit, is 4, of eonmttre chill.
