He had never been a man ol rugged constitution, and had for several months been in constantly failing health, although for much of the time he had been able to be out and in attendance upon the duties of his pro fession.. His failing, health and feeble condition bad warned hU family that his life was ebbing rapidly away and that death was near, yet when tho un welcome summons came it was unex pected and unlooked for. Tbe deceased was born in this city in February; 1834, and was consequently 51 years of age. Darinz the last two yeari ofctho war between the Stales he was a captain of engineers in the Confederate service. Soon after the war closed the deceased formed a copartnership with tbe late Capt. W. n. James, and under the firm name of James & Brown carried on the business of civil engineers in this city for several years. 5 He leaves a wife and four children three boys and a girl besides several bothers and sisters to mourn bis death.

The "Sis" combination appeared again at tbe Opera House last night to the smallest audience we have ever seen there, yet the actors and actress es, in the conscientious discbarge of their duty, went through their, parts with a vim and spirit such as a crowded house would warrant.

I : - There is a growing sentiment in this city in favor of the completion of the railroad to Onslow county, not only, to New River but across the county to Swansboro. Last winter a charter for the purpose of c instructing a road up the coast was granted and its provisions are very broad and liberal. The road can be carried, under the charter, if so desired, as far North as the dividing line between North Carolina and Vir ginia end on any route Easfcotlfag U ilmington & Wcldon R. R. To se cure this road, however, public sub scriptions arc necessary and t ho people of Wilmington stand ready now to do their duty in this particular. It is for tbe committee who were appointed at tbe meeting of corporators held last winter to make some decided move in this matter. Tbe reasons for their de lay are, we are satisfied, very good ones, but yet tbe people are getting impatient and want to see some move made at once, looking to an active projection of this enterprise. Wo are satisfied that a popular subscription of $100,000 or more will be made just as soon as tbe people have a chance ot voting upon the subject. There has already been enough delay. - We want to see the work begun not later than the opening of the New Year and then pushed forward as rapidly as possible to com pletion. What say the gentlemen ! of the committee? We publish in this connection a com munication which we find in the New born Journal, which moots the subject of a line of railroad through from Wil mington to Norfolk, via Newbern. We believe that the completion of this line, as a continuation of the Wilmington, Onslow & East Carolina R. R., but a mere matter ot time: Newbern. N. C Nov. 18, '85. Editor Journal,: I was pieased to see in your paper to day tho idea out lined by you of a railroad from Wil mington to Newbern through Onslow county. The State of North Carolina owns large bodies ot public lands in Onslow, Jones.Carteret. Beaufort, Hyde and other eastern counties and with its convict labor to materially aid in con structing an Eastern Carolina coast line from Wilmington through Onslow and Jones counties via Newbern, Wash ington. Jamesville, Edenton and Eliza beth City to Norfolk, this road ought to be built and enjoyed by the present generation, and it is within tbe reach of the cities and towns above named, to gether with the township and county subscription and the aid of tbe State in the donation of every alternate section of her public land and the use of her convict labor, to construct what ought to be known as the Wilmington, New bern & Norfolk Railroad. The Board of Trade of Newbern, the Chamber of Commerce ot Wilmington, the Cotton Exchange of Norfolk and other citizens and business men along the line, ought to have meetings and appoint commit tees to attend a convention to be held at either Wilmington. Newbern ; or Norfolk, and there arrange tho general plans of work and the appointment of sub cemmittces to draft a charter to present to our Legislature next winter containing such powers and special privileges as will warrant tho sucsess of tbe Wilmington, Newbern & Nor folk Railroad Company. The advantages to be derived from the construction of such a line is be yond cur conception crossing as it will the little creeks ana rivers at or near the head ot navigation, it will at once make the river steamers natural feed ers to tbe road. It would pay the county of Onslow to givo 50 per cent of her lentire property towards the tbe building of such a road rather than for her to exist fifty years longer with out transportation facilities. Onslow is susceptible of being one of tbe banner counties ot tne state otiNortn Carolina; there is harely any county in the State containing so many . variable and important facilities for money making as Onslow, and yet with all of that; its property to-day would not sell for hardly 30 per cent of its actual value. - Why? Because no ono wants to live in a county entirely cut off from transportation facilities. Its Catharine Lake and Alum Springs, and its hunt ing grounds around, could be made . a resort not to be excelled by Florida or anywhere else in the . United States, while Newbern, as a winter climate, is the most delightful spotxf have ever known. ; Norfolk. Piano Drawing, The drawing for the grand piano takes place to-night at the City Hall at 8:30 o'clock. Those interested will be on . band. ' A large number of ladles will be present.' The holders of chances are all expected. Who will win? We bet we don't. The'sound of the bagpipe, with its monotonous drone, may now be heard upon our streets. For the last twenty years it ha9 been & regular annual visi tant and always brought here by ' the same man.- Time has changed the ap pearance of the musician, but the in strument looks just as it did when ' we first saw it; and the same old tunes, probably his only stock in trade, are always heard. NO. 270 ; : 'a Brave Woman Mortimer Murdoch's latest and great est workt "A Brave Woman," which had its' initial production in this country at the Union Square Theatre. New York, where it 5 was pronounced the success of the season, will be presented here with the original' scenery and ef fects on Tuesday, Nov. 21th, with Mr. James M. Hardee and Miss Sara Van Leer in the title roles. -.A 'New York critic thus gives expression to his ap- toceyJog verdict : 4 :the play of "A Brave Woman is just what ffcVaulbtir intended, a dramatic picture of love and heart suffering, relieved by oddity of character and drollery of action which Las made a charming drama. The story is ' interesting, the action rapid and so real are its scenes and personages that it seems like slices carved from life and placed upon the stage. There is not an incident or a situation in it, nor a fine uttered which for a moment leads the auditor to think thai it is mere play ac ipg. The characlfirs are flesh ; and blood creations, every one" of which stands out clearly distinct. Miss Van Iter's performance of Lillian Beli es a rare dramatic treat. From the moment she leaves the cottage and comes down the stage, in the first scene, she capti yates the hearts of all men and women alike and holds them subject to her sway. To see her graceful, figure her bright face express sadness or humor by turns, and to hear her sweet voice is enchanting. Her delicate touches of comedy are exquisite, and her pathos sinks deep into every heart. Every ap pointment will be carefully considered to make this piece as big a success in Wilmington as it achieved in New York. 1 v---:.i?'.-.iV.; 1 Indications.
