The Sunday Schetol of St. Thomas' Catholic Church made an excursion down the river on the steamer Passport this morning, the Grst excursion of the season . Our thanks are due lo the marshals for an invitation to attend the com mencement exercises ' the Washington Literary Society of the Davis School at LaGrange, N. C, which will be held June 10th. at 10 o'clock a. m. On account of this being a legal holi day in North Carolina, no business was done at the Produce Exchange, the banks, City Hall nor Court House. There was but very little business done on the wharves during the day. The Birmingham Age says : "When the Georgia Pacific train pulled out yesterday morning at 11 o'clock it was loaded with 109 neero hands, who went to join the party that left Saturday for North Carolina to build a railroad. Mr. Geo. C. Kelly has the contract to furnish the materials for its construction." The First. We have not yet seen any dah'.ias, camelias or hyacinths in bloom this season, but our friend, Mr. S. G. Hall has a magnol-a tree in his garden on Muiberry street which had two beauti ful magnolia blossoms upon it this morninc besides a large number of buds almost ready to burst. Will Not Celebrate. Wm. Garrison, colored, was arrested at the Carolina Central Railroad this morning for acting in a very disorderly manner and was locked up in the guard house, where he will have a good op- port unity of meditating upon the Jglor, ies of the Mecklenburg Declaration, un til to-morrow, when he will be brought before the Mayor for examination. Death of Mr. E. T. Hancock. Mr. E. T. Hancock, of whose ex tremely critical condition we spoke in our last issue, died yesterday afternoon. The deceased was a native of Maine and came here soon alter the war and enlaced in business, at first as a clerk lor Mr. N. Jacobi. Subsequently he formed a partnership with Mr. W! T. Daggett and engaged in the paints and oil business, in which he continued up to the time of his death. He had been twice married, his last wife having been the daughter of Col. C. L. Grafflin. Mr. Hancock upon becoming a resi dent of Wilmington fully identified himself with its interests, and although of a rather retiring disposition, during a loug and successful career as a mer chant here endeared himseii to a large circle ot friends, who admired his moral worth and sterling integrity. He served two terms as an Alderman of the city inwhica his course was alike honorable to himself and to his constituency. The Sidewalks. Considerable comment has Veen ere uiiu " uoL-sequenoe oi tne jwayor s in structions to the police regarding the removal of chicken coops, boxes and barrels from the sidewalk, which ap peared in cur issue of the 14th inst. Many of the merchants to whom these instructions apply have large interests at stake and add largely to the city treasu ry in the way of licenses and taxes, and to be denied all privileges of the side walk, further than such as are absolute ly necessary for the receipt and ship Bnt ot goods, seems a hardship. It undoubtedly causes them pecuniary loss as well as embarrassment hi the tran- sation ot business. Wo believe that al iae sidewalks were intended for lhe use ot the pedestrians, but we are eli aware that in many instances the Ul5Piay ot goods outside of the stores is acaiai convenience to purchasers, " . we would suggest that the instruc- Merchants to have a small space for ,r war outside of their stores, wb'cb would work no disadvantage nor inconvenience to any one. n&11 Jacobi's .Hardware Depot iu; mis ii nn eosnrtnion t rt - - - u. V t Chicken Thieves. Our old friend, Capt. F. M. James, is the last sufierer by chicken thieves of whom we have heard. He was ab sent fmm his home last night watching by the bedside of Mr. Archie Skipper, who is very sick, and whe n he returned this morning be found that some wan dering kleptomaniac had raided his hen roost during the night and stolen all of bis chickens, 14 in number. Among his flock of poultry there were i rt i V V some uocnin umnas ana riymouin Rocks which he prized veiy highly and it is tolerably evident that the thieves had much regard for them also. . A Day's Sport. One ot our printers has "hankered'' after a mess of fish tor soyeral days and yesterday he put a "sub" on his case and off he went to the Sound for a day's fishing. He was accompanied by quite a party of ladies and gentlemen, with the fair sex largely preponderating, and they returned last night with quite a nice lot of fish, very wet, a good deal tired, somewhat sore, and sun-buraed- oh, don't mention it! They all claim that they had a first rate time, but with the foregoing accompaniments we fai to see where the fun pame in. There is no doubt, however, that the ride to and fro, the sport of fishing and the exercise, ma tbem an gooa. ana wo shall not blame them if they should bait their hooks and try it again. Personal. Mr. C. P. Parker, of Cypress Creek Bladen county, is in the city to-day. Mr. Alex T. London, of this city, but bow practicing law in Montgomery, Ala., is here to-dav. enroute to Balti more. Mr. W. W. Allen, formerly South ern ExpressAgent here, but now Route Azent for the Company, with head quarters at Columbia, is here to to day in company with Mr. J. H. Ayerill Superintendent of the South Carolina R. R. Mr. M. A. George, of Baltimore, has arrived in our city where he intends to remain and engage in his profession of piano and organ maker and tuner. He has had many years experience in the business and comes with high recom mendations from competent judges, and all he asks is a fair trial to establish his skill.

Tbe memorial meeting of the Ladies' Oakdale Memorial Association was held on Saturday last. May 10th. After calling to order, tbe Treasurer read her report for lhe past year. The President's report was the read by the Secretary, as follows: Officers and Ladies of the Oakdale Me morial Association of Wilmington: Witb the close of the year, comes the twelve months' retrospect. The hour glass of time has faithfully drops ped its golden sands, grain by grain, upon the tablet of life's memory. An other year has been added to the pleas ant servitude, which Jit has been my ortune to give, ivith you, to that cause which must continue dear to the hearts of those of us, whose four years of suf- ering and anxiety for loved ones, ex posed to all the dangers of war, two decades ot yeara have failed to obliter ate from memory. Again have we placed our annual tributes of nature's fairest flowers above the graves where our Heroes lie sleep ing. Again has the solemn dirge sound ed above them: their noble heroisms once more recounted from eloquent lips, and the sweet voices ot sorrowing friends, some of whom have lost those. nearest and dearest, chanted their re quietus, and we have turned our backs upon the quiet sentinel, who - keeps watch where they sleep in peace! May many more decades, yea! Time itselt pass away before their deeds ot valor and sacrifice be forgotten, or there be no grateful heart to do honor to the memory of the Spartan like co'.diers who preferred death to yielding that which they had pledged their lives to defend! Can a grateful people ever forget? Can we live in the enjoyment of the many blessings of a prosperity now dawning upon us which has risen. Phccnix-Iike, from tbe ashes of the "Lost Cause." and not do honor to the memory of those from whose bones, as our Orator so eloquently expressed it, has been built thc "Living Cause?" Ungrateful indeed must be that Southerner who, one day in every three hundred and sixty-live, cannot, turn aside from the ordinary and selfish path of life, to scatter a few flowers or drop a tear to the sacred memory of those who sacrificed their lives for this Southern land! Since our last an nual meeting, six mors of those who followed the sound of the bugle, when the tocsin of war called them from their peaceful homef.have "crossed tharirer" and joined comrades on the other side, and, now marked by our simple memo rial stone, are the last resting places of Capt. Guilford Dudley. Capt. Robert Radcliffe, Capt. Robt. Tate, Capt. John Pugh, Mr. Fred. Robinson, and Mr. John Bradley. In addition to these there have been reported since last year, as unmarked, the graves of seyen oth ers. For all of these the Treasurer's report will show the memorial stone has been ordered, making, in ali, thir teen for the past year. Upon the resolution passed at our last meeting to get up something for the benefit of the North Carolina Confed erate Home, then in contemplation, with theassitance of a few of the man agers, and other kind friends, in co operation with the Vice President, we raised, by means of lawn parties, the sum of $259.83, which we deposited in bank, until such time as its object 9houldcall it forth, hoping, if the pro ject should prove a success, to be able to increase the lund. And now. dear friends, we stand once more at the open gate of a new memorial year. New resolves are framed and high aspirations encour aged when the dawn of a new year breaks upon us; but life should not be made up of good resolutions only sometimes kept, but oftener neglected. With ns. dear friends of our loved Association, may it in the future prove one unbroken aspiration towards the highest good of the living, and the never ceasing memory of the Dead our Dead Our Soldiers, whose mounds, and whose holy ashes are our sacred trust! Breathing a sincere prayer that the sweet harmony of our Association may ever continue as now we will pro ceed to the election of officers for the ensuing year. The following officers were then elected. President Miss Ilettie James. Vice President Mrs. John Hcdrick. Treasurer Mrs. Dr. Anderson. Secretary Miss E. Kate Burr. Managers Mrs. Wm. French, Mrs Roger Moore, Mrs. Wm. Daggett, Mrs. T.'H. McKoy, Mrs. John Garrell, Mrs. Josh James. Mr3. Eugene Wiggins, Mrs. John Cantwell, Mrs. John Ran kin, Mrs. John A. Brown, Mrs. Nor man McRae, Mrs. Benj. Jacobs. Miss Julia James, Mrs. A. L. DeRosset, Miss Bettie Price, Mrs. Thomas Craft. No business of importance was laid before the meeting, except a motion made and seconded, that : Whereas, the fund ariting from the yearly subscription of the few members is inadequate to meet the expenses of the annual celebration, and procure tbe Memorial Stones which it is the sad privilege of the Association to place at tbe grave of each Confederate soldier who is laid to rest in the quiet shades of Oakdale; resolved that the Association, at no distant day, raise an amount, as a sinking fund, by means of a fes tival, or entertainment of some kind. The ladies desire to express their gratitude to "those who ably assisted them at their last celebration ; to the Chief Marshal and his assistants for their valuable mid; t the military tor their imposing addition te procession; to the Cornet Concert Club for their sweet strains, and to tbe Choir for their solemn and exquisitely ren dered music To these aud to all who kindly assisted them they render their sincere thanks. . s Fijrhtiagr Stock. A gentleman in this city went home from business last night to find that a a gamecock that had been sent to him, bau attacked tbe child of a neighbor and had knocked it down and beat it with his wings and plucked tbe child's head until it streamed with blood. The fow had never shown any quarrelsome dis position before, but this morning ho attacked the gentleman in question while tbe latter was engaged about his hen coop "and spurred him vigorously, by which he had his clothing torn in two or three places. The rooster was returned to its proper owner at once Game fowl are apt to bo quarrelsome and sometimes they are really danger ous among children. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS; FLKA8S KOTICS.

At an early hour this morning Rcna Johnson, who lives in what is known as Sampson's Alley, which extends from Fourth to Fifth streets, between Mulberry and Walnut, was aroused by a sharp knock at the door of her house. As quickly as possible sho answei'ed the summons, but the person who had knocked had vanished, but had left on the door step as a memento of the visit a basket, which upon being opened was found to contain a male mulatto child evidently about 2 months old, alive' well and hearty. Rena took the child to the Clerk of the Superior Court and begged that it might bo bound to her, but as it was a legal-holiday no positive action could be taken in the matter, and the little waif was placed in her custody until to-morrow, when legal steps will be taken as to his future. There i3 as yet no clue to the parentage of the boy. Confirmation. At Temple Israel this morning four young men were confirmed with tho usual impressive rites and ceremonies of the Hebrew Church. Rev. Dr Mendelsohn othciated. The services consisted of vocal and instrumental music, the rite of confirmation and a sermon appropriate to the occasion The yocal music was rendered by Mr3. Kahnweiler, Mrs. Watters and Messrs J. E. Willsonand R. H. Grant composing a quartette, of much merit The selections were rendered, as a mat ter of course, with excellent effect The instrumentalists were Messrs Al derman. Mitchell and Schloss. who nlaved in nerfect time and tune and with sweet expression. Thc sermon. by Rev. Dr. Menhelsohu, was listened to with profound attention throughout by the very large congregation present. We notice that among the congregat ion were many not of the Hebrew faith and among the congregration were several Christian ministers who appeared very much interested in the solemn ceremo nies of the occasion. To-Niarht's Festival. The festival for the benefit of the Wilmington Light Infantry, which will begin at the City Hall to-night, prom ises to be a briliiant affair. The ladies havincr the matter in charge have worked with a will and with a direct ness of effort which bespeaks success Tbe decorations were nearly all com pleted this morning and evinced much refined taste in tbeir arrangements Water was led into the Hall during tbe day and the fountain on the rostrum will be in full play to-night, making the atmosphere pure and cool. The dis play of edibles will be such as would tempt an anchorite if there were any such beings in North Carolina, and which would make glad the heart of an epicure. Every con ceivable viand wiil be prepared, from soft crabs to ice cream. It is contem nlsted to have a hot suoper of iried fish at about 9 o'clock There will be enough to eat and "don't you forget it.'' and it will be furnished at reasonable rates and don't you forget that either. Some ot the fairest, sweetest and best ladies in the United States will be in attendance to wait upon the hungry multitude, so it will be entirely unnec essary to baye suppers cooked at home to night, when there will be so many inducements to satisfy hunger at the festival. The "soger men" wiil all be there and all dressed op in their "uni forms so grand," and it will be in every feature an occasion worthy of the most liberal patronage.
