A proposition to pierce the rocky

from Ravenswood to Thirty-fouth
street, New York City, is taking a defi

John Anderson, the eccentric New

eeparated, cow appears in the New

probability is that the iawyers will get
a good share of the fortune before the
matter is settled.

tions in Illinois was $17,G00; in North
Carolina it was nix. In the same year the

Pine Straw Matting.
The Raleigh News and Observer says :
"Yesterday a reporter bad the satisfac
tion of seeing some matting made from
the pine i traw of the eastern forests.
The straw was prepared by ihe Acme
Manufacturing Co., near Wilmington,
into a good strong fibre, which was
woven into a matting similar to the
cocoa matting at som Northern facto
ry. The matting has a pleasant fra
g ranee and. it is thought, a healthful
influence, for every product of the pine
tree is healing to the lungs and health
ful in its effects. This class of goods,
it is thought, would bo an excellent ar
ticle for ball9, stairways, offices and
public building, including also railway
cars. As it is the beginning of a new
industry, every success is wished for it-

the enjoyment of all, and they were
eminently successful in their efforts.
There was a large party of ladies and
gentlemen present, and the dancing
was kept up for several hours. At
midnight a most excellent supper was
served, of which tbe guests partook
with a relish During the evening tbe
(iermania Band appeared and rendered
several pieces with remarkable skill
and taste considering the brief time in
which they have been in practice. It
was an occasion happily spent, and one
which will be long and pleasantly re
membered by the participants.

Review
Departed.
After lingering for three days on the
"ery vere of th shadowy land, Mr
Edward Kidder peacefully fell on sleep
last night, at 10 o'clock surrounded by
those nearest and dearest to him in
life. His end was quiet and peaceful
and he has left behind him to his chil
dren that most precious of all legacies,
the heritage ot a good name. He has
surely left such to them in the re
cord of a .'ong life, honorably, usefully
and charitably passed The riches he
baa Sett behind him may be "as the
moth fretting the garment," but tiie
wise words, the kindly counsel and tbe
helping hand will make for him a mon
ument more enduring far than brass
or gold or siiver could raise to com.
memorate the virtues of his life.
"Or ever the silver cord be loosed,
or the golden bowl be brokeu, or the
pitcher be broken at the lountain, or
the wheel broken at the cistern,
"Then shall the dust return to
the earth as it was; and the spirit
shall return unto God who gave it."
In our remarks on Monday, hurried
and incomplete as they were, there
were two errors. Mr. Kidder was
born in Ipswich, New Hampshire, Oc
tober 19th, 1805, and was therefore in
the 80th year of his age. He removed
to Wilmington in 1826.
Fire in Duplin..
On Monday last the house ol Mr.
Calvin Bradshaw, in Kenansville town
ship, Dnplin county, caught fire and
was entirely consumed, together with
all its contents. Mr. Bradshaw was
absent at the timejand when his wife
discovered the Are she ran for as
sistance, but before it could be ob'
tained the flames were beyond the
power of control. There was no insur
ance which is to be deeply regretted as
Mr. Bradshaw is a hard working, good
man and the loss will be a serious
blow to him.
A Nonagenarian
Mrs. Rowena N. Gerrard. a very
aged lady, wei' known to many of the
older residents of this city, died here
last evening at the advanced age of 89
years and 4 months. Wo remember
her well when we were ourself a lad
ot very tender years, and she was then
an old lady. It is permitted to few to
approach as nearly four score years and
ten as was accorded to her. The de
ceased was tbc grandmother of Mrs. T
A. Brown and Mr. G. Prigge, Jr. For
more than three-score years she was a
member of the First Baptist Church in
this city, and the luneral services Will
be held from thai chnrch to-morrow
morning.

The Irish Minstrel.
There was a good audience at the
Opera House last night to witness the
performance ol the above named play
by the eminent Irish comedian, Mr.
W. J. Scanlan, and bis excellent com
pany. Mr. Scanlan appeared in the
title role and sustained the rather difii.
cult part excellently well. The support
was good. The plot was full of fun , and
attractive and exciting situations, and
aroused tho profound interest ot the
audience, whose frequent outbursts of
applause evinced their hearty apprecia
tion of the play and its actors. Mr
Scanlan introduced several new songs
which, together with some of the older
avorites. were sung in exnuite taste
and called for tbc repeated encores. One
of tbe great beauties of tbe Irish Min
strel as a dramatis composition is that
it teaches a wholesome moral lesson,
which will necessarily leave its benefit
cent impress upon the minds of the lis
tener. In Token of iiespect.
t The ilags at the several consulates of
the port, of the shipping in the harbor
and upon the Custom House were at
half mast to-day as a token of respect to
tbe memory of the late Mr. Edward
Kidder. The Produce Exchange was
also appropriately draped in mourning.
