- Were requested to ask this question
of 'the citizens of Wilmington, who
borrowed it tor their irrand Democratic
jubilee last November. It was to be
returned immediately, but no cannon
yet. It was lent in good faith and this
failure to return it is very unbecoming
in the borrowers. Our latest informa
tion is that the beach at Wrightsville
Sound now often echoes with the sound
of its booming at the yacht races
Send it up right away, save hard feel
ings and never prove recreant to a
f ilthfol promise again.
Oeath of Mr. Ldtchford.
J: J. Litchford, Esq., of Raleigh,
who has been seriously sick tor several
weeks with typhoid fever, died yester
day at the residence of his sisters in
that city, aged CG years. Mr. Litchford
was a native- of Petersburg. Va., but
has made Raleigh his home since boy
hood. He had occupied many promi
nent positions of trust in the State,
among xvhich may be mentioned that
he xvas at one time a director of tbe
Deaf and Dumb and Blind Institute;
was tor a long time Secretary of tbe
Democratic State Committee and at
the time of his death was Distributing
Clerk at the Raleigh Postoflicc, a posi
tion which he had held ever since Capt.
S. A. Ashe became postmaster. He
was a prominent Odd Fellow, and in
all the relations of life had the confi
dence and esteem ot his fellow men.
He was unmarried, having lost his wife
several years ago. He leaves three
sons and three daughters, besides sev
eral sisters to whom his" decease xviil
be an almost irreparrable loss.

Old Currency.
Dr. R . F. Sanders, of Pender county,
sent to our office to-day three speci
mens of paper money.which xvere issued
before the formation of cur government.
They consisted ot a thirty dollar bill,
which entitled "the bearer to thirty
Spanish milled dollars or the value
thereof in gold of silver," and xvere
issued "under a resolution of Congress
passed at Baltimore, February 25.
1777 j" a fire' dollar bill issued under
the same authority at "Philadelphia,
Noyember2, 1776." and a ten dollar
North Carolina note. f iby authority ot
CongresaaUUiifax, April 3, 1776."
The two first named bills were printed
upon both sides and bore tbe imprint of
Hair & Sellers. The North Carolina
note xvas printed upon one side only?
and was adorned with the picture of a
big turkey gobbler in the left hand
lwer corner. Al! the bilU were in a re
markable state of preservation consid
ering their age, although the ink had
so faded with the lapse of time as to
make it impossible to decipher the sig
natures with certainty.
The Oxford Orphan Asylum,
Editou Daily Reviexv: A brief
description of tbe above institution will
be of interest to a large majority of
your readers and especially among the
masonic fraternity. Yesterday in com
pany with a friend who has recently
moved to this place from h ayetteville,
we were invited by Dr. Is. F. Dixon,
the superintendent of the institution, to
come up and visit the dinerent build
ings, and we were paid lor our trip a
thousandfold. It is a source of great
prido and gratification to know that
these poor unfortunate orphans are
under the charge of gentlemen and
ladies who treat them as they xvould
their own flesh and blood. Dr. Dixon
and his most estimable xvife devote
their entire time to the welfare of these
rhildrnn.
The institution now numbers 180, the
pupils being about equally divided be
txveen the boys and the girls. The fe
male department is in the asylum prop
er, wane tue ooys are in a separate
brick building about one eighth ot a
niile distant. Between the two there
is a large spacious frame building
which is used only as a hospital for
contagious diseases, and hero let me
say that last winter it was. tilled to its
utmost capacity, when nearly all of
these children had the measles. At
one time tnere were iid cases in ine
asyl-.u and only lour deaths occurred.
showing conclusively that the greatest
care and attention was bestowed upon
them.
There are six teachers, all females ;
two sewing matrons in charge of the
two sewing rcoms; a housekeeper for
each building; a hospital matron, and
a gentleman in charge of the farm.
There is a very good library which is
being daily added to from many parts
of the country. Music is taught in the
school, so as to give all who have a tal
ent in that way an opportunity to de
velop it.
It may not be known to many of
your readers that the littlle newspaper
published by tbis institution, called the
Orphan's Friend, is printed entirely
by the larger boy3 in the asyium, and
they do most excellent job work. This
is known to mason3, but not to those
generally outside of the fraternity.
Billheads, letter heads and cards of
exrery description are very handsomely
printed by these boys, and lodges in the
State would bo doing the institution
great service in sending them their
printing. The main building is heated
by a turnace in the basement, while
the building for the boys and the hos
pital is heated by fireplaces.
I do not know xvho designed tbe
main building, but he xvas no architect
surely. I refer only to the spiral stairs.
The board of directors of the institu
tion ought at once to have a change
made in this. Should a tire occur on
the upper or lower floor it would be no
easy matter to save these children, and
the directors should undoubtedly give
this matter their prompt attention, and
it can be done at a trifling expense.
Another suggestion I would most
respectfully make to the directors; in
speaking of improvements, I would
have a number of brick walks" laid in
tbe beautiful grounds, so that in muddy
weather the little folks would uot sink
in mud up to their eyebrows, and it
would be money well spent. Bricks
are cheap and it should be done at
once, before the winter season sets in.
The new building, to be occupied by
the superintendent, is now going up,
and will be in cottage style, and when
completed xviil add greatly to the lawn.
The grove surrounding the asylum is
beautiful.
The masonic fraternity and the good
people of North Carolina, may well
congratulate themselves upon the fact
that they have selected the right man
for the position of superintendent. I
doubt if another man in the State could
be found who would fill the place ot
Dr- Dixon, and this is meant in no
flattering spirit, but is the simple
truth. .
In connection. : with the Orphan's
Friend, 1 neglected to mention that it
is ably presided over by Mr. L- Thorn- i
a?, who superintends the printing and
is an experienced printer. Theasylam
is a credit to the Masonic fraternity,
under whose fostering care it was
started, and has saved many thousand
children from ruin. Let the good work
go on. It is certainly casting youf
bread upon the waters.
