There was a match game of baso ball at Raleigh yesterday between the Nor folk, Va.. club, composed entirely of professionals, and a professional nine taken from the Seasides, Raleighs and Durhams, each of the last three clubs furnishing their professionals.

There was a match game of base ball yesterday between the llanovers and tho Pot Liquors, which -resulted in a victory for the former in a score of 10 to 9.

Mr. Charles W. Craig caught yester day in his seine, while fishing about a mile from the "Rocks" a devil fish hat was of an unusual sizs. The tall was five leet long which would make the entire length of the fish about seven eet. The weight of the fish was about 100 pounds. These curious fish aro not often caught in these waters, and it is seldom indeed that one is caught of such unusual weight and size. Down the Kl vcr.

William Larkins, colored, was taken up last night under suspicious circum. stances: but at the hearing .before tho Mayor this morning be was discharg ed as there wss no evidence against him. G. C. Fulton, colored, charged with resisting a police officer while in the discharge of his duty, was required to pay a fine of $5 or go below for 10 days. There were five cases of a failure to pay license tax which were settled and the parties discharged. "Fine 8tiowers." There were frequent showers last night and it seemed to us that the rain (ell with less fuss than we havo ever seen it. It rained at times, especially in the earlier portion ol the night, when there was hardly a cloud in the heav ens. Later in the night the sky became more completely overcast and there was quite a volume of rain fell between 2 a. m. and sunrise. It did not, bow ever, make the atmosphere much cool er, aud the weather during the forenoon was hot and sultry. Tho showers were much needed and "ere a blessing to vegetation,' which had begun to feel the effect of dry weather. Excursionists. - Quito a large party of excursionists from Shelby, Lincolnton, Rutherford ton and other points on the Carolina Central Railroad arrived in the city on this morning's train. They registered at the different hotels for breakfast after which many of them went down the river on the Passport to inhale the invigorating breezes' of the ocean and to enjoy the pleasures of a ride upon the waters of the Cape Fear. From South Carolina. Another party of ladies and gentle men from Sumter, S. C; and other points' on the W. C. & A. R. R , arriv cd in the city this morning and after breakfast proceeded down the river to Smithvillo and the Forts. Our' South Carolina brothers and sistGrs seem to have a correct appreciation of tho mouth of the Cape Fear as a Summer resort, and every succeeding season in creases the number from that State to SmithVille. It needs but a few vears with proper advertising to make this one-of the ,raost nota bte imd -desirable Summer resorts on the -entire Atlantic coast. An Improvement Needed. we .have received' a copy of the Smithville Pilot, published weekly by Capt. S. S. Drew, and in it. wo noticed an editorial article which contains sug gestions that are wise and should be heeded, relative to the construction ,o'f sidewalks on tho' principal streets of the town It gives the real estate valuation of Smithville at $100,000 and suggests that a tax of 25 cents on the 100 bo levied for the purpose. This would cive$250anu we think this amount would go far towards tho object desir ed, especially if cUy and crushed oys ter shells should be the material used. Tho people -ot Smithville should take hold of this thing in earnest. Breach of Trust. Our friend, Mr. A. S. Ileidc, who ives at No. 002 Orange street, is quite ond of chickens, and sometimes he buys a half dozen and sends them to the house to be cooked as occasion re quires, lie is not always sure, however, when be buys a halt dozen that they will get to the house. A day or two since he saw somo fine ones in the mar- et and bought six of them, the seller agreeing to deliver them, and calling a colored man for that purpose. Mr. Heide knew the colored man by sight, and after seeing him leave with the chickens, went about his ordinary busL ness. not thinking any more about the matter until he went home at night He asked his wife about the chickens. when she told bim that the colored man came there with six chickens, but left only five, claiming that the other, which was tho best of the lot. was for another man. JVir. lieiue was in tne market m. WW A t 1 early,tho next morning and soon saw the colored man who had undertaken tQ deliver the chickens, who was told that if he did not come to the office and settle for that which he did not deliver within 15 minutes an officer of the law would wait upon him. He settled. I'ersouai Mr,.JW Lamb, formerly of thi3 city, but nowxengaged in business at Goldsboro. is in the city. Mr. A. M. Waddell.

Cumming. who has been away nearly two months seeking an improvement in his health, has re turned to the city looking, wo arc glad to say. as though he bad found it. Mr. C. R. Koockogey. recently the professional catcher for the Seasides, has written a letter to a gentleman in this city in which he expresses bis warmest gratitude for the cordial and kindly treatment he received at the hands of the people of Wilmington while here. . ' " v . , , We were pleased to see upon our streets this morning Rev. B. R.

They will go In complete uniform, and the manage ment are making every effort to have it the very best of the season. There will be music of the best kind from the club. and nothing will be left undone which willl conduce to the pleasure of their guests on that occasion. ; . Smithville. We understand that; there are now about 1,000 guosts in Smithville. These, a correspondent, a visitor who is spend ing the Summer there, writes us are principally Iron .Wilmington. Char lolteand other points on the Carolina Centra. R. R., from South Carolina, along the line of the W., C. & A.' R. R.", and from Southern North Carolina. 'It seems." he says, "as if ! the people have at length found out the many ad' vantages Smithville oilers as a Sum mer resort, as they have come in crowds this season. The Hotel. Brons wick is well filled, as are also the vari ous private boarding bouses. It is the gayest Summer known in Smithville in many years. There is music and dancing in the Pavilion eveiy night and ironi 10 A, M. to 2 P. M. every day. the latter hours being for the children. Sea bathing and sailing par ties go out every day." Our correspondent is also particular to impress upon us that thero are neither sandflies, mosquitoes, nor fleas at Smithville. The visitors are delight ed and all want to return next season. To accommodate these and the increas ing number who will be sure to be there also, more hotel facilities are needed, and our correspondent states that theso will be provided. . The New Postal Card. The present style of postal card, which has been in use for ten years, is to be retired. The one cent stamp of the new card, which is to be, issued about the first of next mouth, will con tain a vignette of Jefferson. The sen tence "Nothing but tho address can be placed on this side," which has always been offensive to. fastidious ears, will give way to "Nothing but the. address o be on this side." The ink is chang ed from black to brown. The mono gram U. S. will give way to the words "United Staies" on a scroll surmounting a lino ot thirteen stars, and beneath which 'Postal Card" 4s engraved. The vignette of Jefierson is surrounded by a wreath of ivy aud aurel, underneath which is "Oje Cent," with tho figure 1 dividing the words. The words on the old stamp. "U. S.. Postage," are omitted. The quality of the postal card paper is said o be improved, the tcxluro and finish being, it is claimed, superior to the old stock, while the color is lighter and of cream tint. The likeness of Jefier son is a full face and is said to be very good, though the engraver omitted the usual shadow in the eyes, which gives he founder of the Democracy a pair of brown-black opt ic3.
