Part of tin matter was solid and-part was lead ed. The proof was a fair one. If there is any boy in tiie State who can beat this we would be glad to hear from him. A Freak of Nature. A swreet potato was brought to our city to-day which was indeed a curiosity. It was grown on the plantation" of Mr. Leonidas Middle ton, of Warsaw township, Duplin county, and grew in a bed of shel marl, with which that section abounds. In its growth, it vorked thro' a hole in an old conch shell, and there was a good sized potato grew on. each side of the shell, the two be ing connected by a small neck that extended through the hole.

Sheriff Manning received a dis patch yesterday signedJ. X tfignon, and dated at Charleston, S. C, stating that a committee would arrive here on Saturday to inspect the jail. The sheriff hardly knew what the dispatch meant, but he promptly replied by wire that New Hanover County jail was always in good order and really for inspection. We imagine that the "committee" will have hard work to find a safer or better kept jain in this or any other State. Patti Uoaa. This charming, witty, vivacious, versatile, musical, fun-loving, good looking, laughter provoking queen of merriment, will appear at the Opera House next Monday night in the popular comedy entitled "Zip," in which she made our people laugh until their sides ached when she was here last year. It is a foregone conclusion that she will be greeted with an overflowing house, as! our theatre-going people are' fond of a genuine hearty innocent laugh and Patti Rosa is just the piece of femi ninity that will make them laugh whether they will or not. The Opera II oum, The Rose Osborne Combination made their appearance at the Opera House last night in "Forget-Me- Not," instead of in "Fortinie'sBool," as had been announced. There wan a fair attendance, but it was not so large as the interest of the play and the merits of the actors demanded. "Forget-Me-Not" is a play of thrill ing interest. It has a plot deeply laid and the dialogue is interesting. The principal character, Stephanie de Mohrivart is a most exacting role, calling for a thorough insight into the motives which actuated this bad and erratic woman, who at one time is a fiend incarnate and then again a repentant womanly woman. This difficult role was assumed by Miss Osborne with complete success. She was ably supported by a com pany of much more than ordinary excellence. Miss Osborne is an emotional actress of a high order. To-niht the company will appear in "Article 47," which lias had an almost unprecedented run in New York and other Northern cities. School shoes for children, best in the city, at Geo. R. French & Sons.t The Coaraoploitan for December. The rumored visit of the ruler of Persia to Europe makes the beauti fully illustrated article on "The Shah and His Court," with which the December number opens, very timely. "Mr. Crowley, the Chim panzee," illustrated, is a charming study of a creature in the Central Park Zoological Museum that at tracts more attention ' than any other New Yorker. "From Forest to Floor," a profusely illustrated anticle, contains a graphic, interest ing, and valuable accountof lumber ing and the lumber interest in Canada. Accompanying a beauti ful frontispiece of Mme. de Lorig ueville, is an article, entitled "A Politician and a Saint," which de scribes vivaciously and wittily the career of the handsomest and most notable French oman of the seven teenth century. Frances Courtenay Baylor, the accomplished Southern writer, contributes a humorous storv, entitled "Mr. Chubb and the- Cold Punch." There is also a fine trasric love story, entitled "Yseult," and a pathetic sketch, entitled "Lynuhaven Crossl" "Modern Ma' gicians," "Shaking Off Nantucket," and "Dangers of the Ice Pack," with loeiiis, complete the interesting table of contents- fndicatious.

There was a small docket for the s and it was disposed of in the follow- j1 o'.m' nu. n caHed and failed. .Tudcnient nisi and a find of 10 was imnosed in his case. . In the case of one party charged with ian Affray judgment was sus pended Ainos Boston, colored, disorderly conduct. , This was an Aggravated ictuie and the judgment of the Conrt was that the defendent pay a fine of $20 or be imprisoned 30 days. The defendant appealed and he was required to give a bond in the sum of $100 to prosecute the appeal. Boston then become so offensive in his language that lie was sent below for 24 hours for contempt of Court. J. T. Davis, colored, .throwing rocks in the street and other disor derly conduct. Ten days in a close cell in the city prison was the judg ment of the Court. A Worl of Caution. We would suggest to those who are making their Christmas pur chases, and especially to the ladies, that our streets are thronged, and that some- of those who hover around the store doors are not hon est. They are there to see what they can steal, and we hear of one lady who had her pocket book snatched from her hand a few days ago, and the thief got off with the money and the act was done so quickly that he escaped' without identification. We have, expected to hear of this sort of robbery be fore now, during this busy Christ mas season, but the foregoing in stance is all that has been brought to our notice. Purchasers cannot be too careful in leaving the stores or while on the sidewalks, especially where there is much of a throng, where thieves can work to better advantage and the ehance of detec tion is ess. The Signal Office. We have, on several' occasions, spoken of the inaccurracies of the weather indications as furnished by the Signal Office during the last year. These inaccuracies have been so common and so palpably mani fest that there was but little relia bility to be placed upon the report ed indications. The recent report of the Chief Signal Officer admits the inaccuracies of the indications as sent to the press, but claims that there were seventy-uine correct re ports out of a possible one hundred. We think that his claim is consider ably too high, although we have no data, better than our memory, upon which to base the opinion. In speak ing of this subject, the New York Mail and Express, of the 14th inst. says: During the autumn the in accuracy of the weather predictions regard ing Washington was remarkable. Cold waves never arrived on sched ule time;-. neither rain nor fair weather came when it was expect ed, and the weather forecasts in the newspapers, became the sport of cruel ags. But on top of this comes the report of a serious diffi culty in Chicago over the removal of a sergeant in the Weather Bureau, whose individual predictions were generally contrary to those of his official superiors, and oftener cor rect. The Chicago Board of Trade ceased altogether relying upon Gen. Greely's predictions, and took, this man Buell's instead. Another Great Sacrifice in Fine Custom ; ' ;? Made Clothing. ,1. '-.Shrier, desiring to close out every dollars worth of Clothing and Gents' Furnishing Goods, and to make. quick work of it, will sell out his entire Winter stock regardless of cost. The real cost or actual lvalue of the goods will have nothing to do with the low prices. His main ( ob ject is to ppen up in the large, and handsome store in the Purcell build ing, by the 21st of December, with one of the . finest stocks of ready- rniade clothing. All goods on hand will be slaughtered off. Remember, this is no sensational or humbug scheme, and don't miss the opportu-; nity of getting a bargain of the well khon I.
