A num ber of fish have lately .been caught in the river Yarra,, near Melbourne, which are believed to be some of the California salmon introduced by him several years ago. Gen. Grant has written to Mr. Cyrus YV. Field, declining to receive the fund which is being raised for his benefit. As the amount is nearly complete Gen. Grant's course is the cause ef embar rassment to some of his friends. It was totally unexpected and altogether with out precedent, so far as Grant is con" j cernea. The London Times is clamoring for the resignation of Gladstone and his cabinet rn account of the Egyptian muddle. But the thunder oi the Times is not so frightful as it used to be. There are five daily newspapers in London, each with a larger circulation than the Times, and - they can make thunder, too. The following challenge is printed in the LondonMorning Advertiser : "Hear ing so much boast of shaving- in London, Paris, and other places, Julies of Cable street, in St. George's in the East, will back himselt for from $25 to 50 to shave and lather six men while blind-folded without cutting them.

Williamson catches the contagion and the boys join him, and then Jones insists on a '"night cap. Yes, Dr. Crothers ic right ; "inebriety" Is as contagious as smallpox, and is slightly epidemic The New York Herald, which ac tively supports the new Spanish treaty, suggests that it opens tiie way to what bas been the dream oi some of our wisest statesmen tne creation oi a West Indian .confederation and inde pendent State which, by situation and interests, must be under the protection of the United States, without being a part of our Union, and the establish ment of which would open a vast field tor American enterprise, and a rich market for American products and for American shipping. mi Oar local politicians are making ac tive arrangements for the next cam- umifrn -i-k ... j i . 1 r rv "Oil's Couri Svrnn anri nr nnfirUnt sad happy.

It was largely attended, thero being about 50 couples present, and the festivities were kept up until a late hour, or, rather.until an early hour this morning. The music was good and the young ladies and gentlemen passed the time in the happiest manner, while the new ly maried couple received hearty and earaest congratulations from all pres ent. Last Night's Fire. About 9 o'clock last night a baggage car of the Wilmington & Weldon Rail road was discovered to be on fire, and. although the alarm was instantly given and the fire department promptly on hand, the flames htd gotten under such headway that the car was destroyed. Fortunately the car was empty and had been side-tracked somewhat remote from other cars, so that there was no opportunity for the fire to spread to other property. It is not known how the fire originated, but it is supposed that it was caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp which had been left burning in the car.

JANUARY 9, Installation of Officers. At a meeting of Orion Lodge, No. 67, I. O. O. F., held on the night of the 7th inst.,, the following officers were in stalled in regular farm by D..D. O. M , W. J. Penny: N. (J.Joha L. Dudley, V. G W. W. Mintz. R.S. H. O. Craig. F. S.--W. C. Farrow. i W. S. Warrock. W.--R. H.Orrell. C.-G. M. Altafier. I. G. W. S. Hewlett. O. G C. D. MorrelJ. Personal. We regret to learn that Col. Roger Moore i quite sick and confined to the house. Mr. B. G. Worth is quite sick and has been confined to the house for sev eral days. ' Col. K. M. Murcbison and family, from New York, are in the city, visit ing relatives and friends. Mr. Wm. Mahn. of the Long Creek section, Pender county, was in the city to-day He is 80 years of age, and yet is as sprightly and vigorous as many men of but half bis years. Mr. Mahu was the father of thu late Wm. D. Mahn. Esq , and but seldom visits the city. He is a German by birth and came here when but 17 years of age. Last summer he was in the city and was taken to the Sound by a friend, when he got the first viw of the ocean he has bad since he was a lad. On the same visit, on Sunday night, he attend ed St. Paul's Lutheran Church, where he heard a sermon inGerman, delivered by Mr. Peschau, the first he has 'heard iu that language since he was 17 years, old, and he not only heard but under stocd and appreciated all of it. For the Legal Fraternity. The Bar of the City of "Raleigh have appointed a committee, consisting of Messrs. J. B. BatchelorT. M. Argo, D. G. Fowle,T. C. Fuller and R. H. Battle, to confer with the legal fratern ity throughout the State and invite their attendance to a convention to be held in that city on the 28th inst. The purpose of the convention is to con sider "the imperfections of the judicial system of the State," of which "every lawyer is cognizant" and make com mon stock ol information and exper. ie nee and suggestions of change and formulate a definite conclusion. It is important that each judicial district should be represented and it is exceed ingly important that the more experi enced of the profession be present, that the State may have the benefit of their prudence and counsel. Wooden Wedding. The filth anniversary of marriage is I tfae "wooden weddihg." at which time the presents to the wedded couple con sist entirely of articles made of wood. Yesterday was the fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. J. D. McEachern and Miss Lucy Taylor, and the event was celebrated by the gathering of a Very pleasant party last evening at their residence, on the corner of Mul berry and North Second streets, among whom were the parents and relatives of both parties, besides quite a number of friends and acquaintances. The presents wero numerous, varied and all of them useful. They embraced n arly everything except a base ball club, lrom a handsome set of parlor furniture and fine wardrobe, to a clothes pin. An eiegant supper was prepared for the guest", to which the latter did ample justice. The worthy couple received the hearty congratula tions of all present, and when the party separated, at a seasonable hour, for their respective homes, it was to bear with them pleasant memories of the evening's pleasure. A Christmas Tree. The members of the French's Creek Sunday School, in Bladen county, had a Christmas tree on the night the 25th of December last for the benefit oi the pupils, and itwas a complete success, notwithstanding the fact that the weath er was extremely unfavorable. There are nearly 100 pupils connected with the School, each of when was remem bered by a present. After all had been supplied, there remained a good many articles, which were sold at auc tion. From this source there was enough realized to pay a debt of some thing more than $12. besides leaving a surplus of nearly $7 to put in the treasnry for future use in the purchase of books &c for the benefit of the School. For durable coloring the walls of rooms in beautiful tints, at little cost nothing equals the Mablbike sold at Jacobi's Depot. Review. Resigned as Attorney and Di rector. Lieut-Gor. Charles M. S ted man has resigned his position as Attorney of the Carolina Central Railroad and of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, and also bis position as Director of the former comoany. all of which have been accepted. His letter of resigna tion of the posi ions of Attorney and Director of the Carolina Central Rail road is a manly, patciotis statesman like paper which it would be wise for others in like position to copy. It is as follows: Wilmington. N. C, Dec. 30, 1884. John M. Robinson, Esq . President, Baltimore, Dear Sir:' I herewith tender my resignation as general counsel for "The Carolina Central Railroad Company," and, also, as a director ol the same cor poration. This course I consider prop per and necessary by my election to the offioe of Lieutenant-Governor of North Carolina, the duties of which position will snoitly devolves upon me. As you are aware, for years L have been paid a salary as attorney for "The Carolina Central" in addition to lees for extraordinary services. This sal ary as retained counsel I must relin quish, tor it implies some obligation, and none should exist between an officer of State, occupying my po sition, and any corporation, whose interests might possibly be af- tected by legislation during ms term of office. When the Legislator is not in session, I shall act profession ally for any person or corporatio which may see ht to ejnploy me. i other words, I shall continue the prac tice of law. But my resignation as salaried counsel and, also, as director, is intended to cover not only the time when our Legislature is in session, but my entire term ol office as Lieutenant Governor. The reasons which impel my resignation as director, whilst not so strong as those demanding my re signation as counsel, arise from the general views I entertain as to such matters. Thanking you for the unvarying cour tesy ond kindness which you have al ways extended tome professionally and personally. I am. Very truly yours, Cuas. M. Stedman. President's Office, S. & R. R. R. Co., Baltimore, Dec. 30, 1884. Maj. Chas. M. Stedman: My Dear Sir: I am in receipt to day of your letter of December 30tb, in which you tender your resignation as General Counsel of the Carolina Cen tral Railroad Company as well as that of Director ol the same company, Appreciating fully the motives that led you to resign, I can only say that your resignation is accepted with regret, and that I trust that our personal rela tions will hereafter remain as cordial and as pleasant as they have been dur ing the time wc were brought into offi cial intercourse. I wish for you, my dear Major, every success. Very cordially and sincerely yours. Jno. M. Robinson. President. Benevolent Fraternity. On the evening of Tuesday last, the 6th inst.. D. S. P., N. Jacobi. installed the following officers ol Hanover Cojan" oil, No. 25, Y. S. B. F.. for the ensuing term, viz: President Thos. R. Post. Vice PresidentDavid H. Walsh. Counsellor Wm. H. Green.

Medical Examiner Dr. F. W. Pot ter. There are fifty-six members in this flourishing benevolent institution.' and its membership is steadily increasing. An Important Matter. Editor Daily Review: In your issue of Monday last I noticed an arti cle signed B.. from Elko, N. C, to the Raleigh News and Observer, and which caused me to look on the map and dis cover that an air line from Wilmington to Raleigh passed through Clinton, the distance being 120 miles, of which 65 miles will be furnished, by a portion of the roads to be built from, Wilmington to Fayettef ille, and that from Point Caswell to Clinton, leaving about 55 miles from Clinton to Raleigh. A nar row gauge road can be built at present cost of steel rails for $3,000 per mile, with extra lor bridging, which would be trifling the entire route. From Raleigh to Danville, about 75 miles, the grading would be more expensive. A direct connection would place Raleigh nearer a deep seaport than she now is. Danville, with all the railroad facilities she now enjoys, would find this rood of great ad vantage ; considerable through freight would pass over the lino both ways, also a large local traffic with both ends and centre. All the business ol said road would be additional busi ness to Raleigh, Danville and Wil mington without drawing away any which they now enjoy. Wilmington is so situated that she is the nearest sea port tor West India sod Sooth Ameri can trade and will be equal to any other port for European trade, conse quently would be used to advantage by the country along and beyond the ter minus of such rosd.
