on his eye a few days since and is said to
be suffering very much from the effects of
it. '
The Steam Firo Engine
Company, with their beautiful engine, the
" John T. Rankin," was out yesterday for
parade and practice. The capacity of the
engine was fairly tested. She was placed
at the foot of Dock Street, trom whence
water was forced . through about twelve
hundred feet ot hose to the corner of
Third Street, steadily up hill, where it
was discharged in two very fine streams
through different pipes.
Cuban Matteus. The Savannah
Republican, in alluding to the presence ot
Gen. Quesada and staff in that city on

will doubtless obtain and forward to them.
General Quesada U in excellent health
and spoke hopefully of the issue of the
struggle in Cuba. ' lie says the late en
gagements have all resulted advantageous
ly to the patriots, who will conquer their
jndepcndeoce whether aided or not.
Tbe distinguished Cuban left Savannah

to have ' a passion ; for it,-. what s he does'
not know of , the mysteries and' illu
sions peculiar to a magician it would be
useless tor any one to attempt to learn: lie
advertises new and startling deception?,

our city, will distribute valuable presents
to his audience at the close of each per

An Important Enterprise. We
learn that'a number of farmers in the sec
tion known as Kaintuck, in Caswell Town
sliip.in this county, have combined togeth
er and have been engaged for some time
past in digging nn extensive canal, for
the purpose of draining what is known as
Lyon's Swamp, which embodies a large
area of the roost fertile land to be foun
in Eastern North Carolina. This enter
prise is really more important than would
at first appear, and is destined eventually
to work a great advantage to the agricul
' tural interests of New Ilanovcr county. ;
Exccr8ion.--As before announced
an excursion will take place to-day on the
Wilmington and Manchester Railroad, for
the benefit of white residents on the line
between Chcraw, S. C, and .this city. A
large number will doubtless, avail them
selves of tic opportunity of visiting our
city, and it is hoped that tbey will meet
with that hospitality and attention at tbe
hands of our people as shall encourage
them to repeat tbe visit and to desire the
cultivation of an acquaintance with our
business men.
Going to Try it on Tab. We
learn from the Tarboro Carolinian that
Capt. A. P. Ilurt, tbe .".old 'Admiral" ot

ConfidkncrGame, A;i colored
man, with ,a raft, of):wood,"at!tHe foot of
Mulberry street, yesterday morning, at
tracted the attention of one ot the numer
ous, sharpers rwlid Jnfest 'our wharvee,
who straightway set his wits to work to
devise some scheme to swindle him out of
a portion of the money which he knew he
was to receive for bis wood. It took him
but. a few minutes to invent lus plan, and'
not mucn longer to put it into execution.
He called on the' owner of the raft and
pourcd-intdliis too credulous ears a won-
dertul story about a chest of money which
he had discovered buried, and all that ras
wanted to bring it to light was some ne
cessary implements which could be pro
cured from some ot the hardware stores ;
but, alas ! he had no money with 'which
to purchase them; and there was a chance
of losing untold wealth all for the want of
a few dollars.' In this manner he finally
succeeded in imposing upon the credulity
of the country darkey to kucU an extent
that, on consideration of being allowed to
share in the riches which were to , be un
earthed, he borrowed five.dollars from the
person to whom he had engaged his wood
and the two started together te purchase
the implements. Arrived at a hardware
store, the "sharper " told ;u greeny ". to
wait at the door a few minutes while he
went in and bought the articles.' It is un
necessary to add. that just hero' there was
a 44 mysterious disappearance," and, up to
this time, the victim has failed to catch so
mnch us a glimpse ot his friend, tlie mon
ey hunter, or-bis five dollars." He will
probably know better next time. If he
don't, he will deserve to lose the whole
amount which he may realize from his
next raft of wood.

Peanut Cultdee. Senator Ab
bott has recently written a letter to a gen
tleman of this county in reference to the
increase of taxation on foreign peanuts
and rice, in which he states that the tax
on the former will no donbt be increased
during the present session of Congress Ion'
cents on the pound, and that on foreign
rice two cents per pound. This protec
tion is deemed to be ample, .and is en
couraging to those who propose to engage
in tbe culture of peanuts and rice during
the present year. The existing low price
of these arliclcs has had much to do with
the depression of business i f"rv
Fear section, and any- promise of an in
crease ot price will be hailed with de
light by our peanut and rice farmers. It
is believed that the introduction of the
African peanut in our Northern" markets
has had no little to do with the providi
ng low prices which has existed "for that
article' of production in our market dur
ing the past winter.

. , Special .Telegram to Uio Star, .
Marion, 8. C. March 1, 1870.
-On Monday mghi, -about 13 o'clock, a
'.destructive fire Woke out in Marioo&, C,
by whicb all that portion of the' public
square west, of the'eourt-house, excepting
the hotel sad Mr. M. Iseman's store, was
burned to the ground. The fire originated
in the rear of the store occupied by JMr.
HI Clark.,', In a short time after it was
discovered, 6qi powder 'exploded, tear
ing away the roof and thus giving vent to
the pent Up element, when soon the entire
building was enveloped in one mass of
flames, which rapidly 'communicated with
the adjoining store, occupied by ;Mr. E.
Baulra. - Thence, despite the exertions ot
the citizens, the flames communicated with
Gen. Graham's office, tbe Crescent printing
office ancl the drugstore. '
;Now'dne sideaof the square Was ii'one
grand conflagration, and it' was "only
through the most strenuous efforts ot the
citizens that the flames were,, checked in
their further-progress,
The saddest feature connected with this
most destructive conflagration, is the fact
that a man by the name of Isaac, Iseman,
in nobly .attempting to save, the life of bis
neice, who was in one of the burning
buildings, himself perished in tbe flames.
The charred remains of the unfortunate
man were taken from the ruins this morn
ing. -:; ' " ' '.,-'; '"' .':
The court-house barely escaped the de
vouring element Thirteen buildings in
all were consumed. 1 , -: 1
All the material in the Crescent offiee
was consumed, and very little property
w9 saved from JhY other .buildings.
The loss is estimated at $40,000.
Most of the property 'was partially in ,
surcd in Northern offices.
H TUK, PlIILHABilONIQjQpNCERT. It
would not be malapropos to speak of onr
city'as of Venice, an call .it a f
City of Bong,"
for most truly does there exist in our midst
more real musical ability than in any other
of our' acquaintance, and the " Cantata of
Esther," held at Tbalian Hall, on Monday
evening last, but increased our admiration
of the talent of our amateur vocalists.
The Star of yesterday morning contain
ed only a slight resume ot the concert, ow
ing to the lateness of the hour before we
could obtain the data, and it is now our
intention to try and speak of it as it de
served. - ' ;
The PkilharmuoXo Mnsicat Club was es
tablished by Professor Grabau, who, upon
coming to onr city to live and entering
upon his duties as an instructor of music,
was not long in discovering the real musi
cal ability of many of our citizens, and
liow little their talent had been developed.
In the establishment of a -musical club,
amateur musicians would have an oppor
tunity of cultivating their voices, and of
studying music. After a few months prac
tice, therefore, under tlie direction of Prof.
Grabau, the Philharmonics gave their first
concert, which, though a success, was., far
from reaching the capabilities of the per
formers, and wherein they labored at a
great disadvantage in having selected, the
eavy cantata of 44 Daniel."
Tbe entertainment on Monday night
was a aeciaea improvement upon me
former, and the different solos and duets
in 44 Esther ;.were sung with far more feel
ing than ! were those in 41 Daniel.", The
choruses Monday, night were Tuller and
more perfect in their execution, being free
from that hesitancy noticeable in 4,Daniel.
To particularize, to a slight' extent, we
could not but admit that there are few
sweeter voices than ''those of Mrs. Lippitt
and the Misses Wilson, among the ladies,
and bt Messrs. Lippitt, Manri and Northrop,
among tbe gentlemen. The superb and
yielding tenor of Mr. Lippitts it rises and
falls through the theatre, thrills the au
dience with admiration and pleasure, and
convinces them that they are listening to a
a voice far, for above the average of ama
teur performances. Mrs. Lippitt's voice is
clear and rounded, her lowest and highest
notes are accomplished with ease and grace,
filling the bouse with no apparent exer
tion and striking no discordant tone no
ticeable to the most sensitive ear. Tbe
duetts between Mr, and Mrs. Lippitt,
brought to our'mind the fact that it was
a "rent oversight not to have had them
sing together in tho first part .of tbe per
formance, t, . Ji f:..
"Drilt My Bark," as snng by the Misses
Wilson, was received with the greatest en
thusiasm by the 'audience, and properly
so. for there are few vocalists who have
the power to charm more than those two
young ladies! , , , -. ; v :.
" "Major Mann execnted with ease and in
a full ricb-tooed voice the different parts
assigned him,' and in listening to him sing
you cannot." but feel convinced of his per
feet .knowledge of - music. Major Nor
throp has a voice loud and deep," and
be makes one feel its power in true artist
ic 6tyle. ' ' ' ; -
How much we would have enjoyed a
quartette composed ot the Misses. Wilson,
Mr. Lippitt and Major Northrop, or a trio
of Mr. and Mrs. Lippitt And Major Mann.
We think ihatfa fewlselecthmrof this"
kind added to the solos and duets prior to
the ntsta" would greatly enhance the

CITY FINANCES.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE
OF
CITIZENS.
To the Citizens of Wilmington, N. C. :
The undersigned, in behalf of the Com
mittee appointed at a meeting of citizens
sometime since to examine and report
upon the finances of the city, beg leave to
make the following report of their labors
to present time, which extends only to the
collection of taxes and other revenues of
tbe city for a period of twelve months,
commencing 12th January, 1869, and end
ing 11th day of January, 1870. The na
ture of tbe examination was such as to re
quire much time, and our regular duties
prevented our giving full attention to the
same, which is the cause of this report not
having been made at an earlier day.
' We find that various amuunts have been
Said into the office of the Treasurer and
bllector under the different heads as
stated below, which have not been ac
counted Tor, as follows:

The receipts of rents of City Hall and
oi Pound tees have been kept in such
manner that we have been unable to ar
rive at any figures as to what is the conditon
ot those items ef revenue. We have been
informed by two parties that they have
paid a. larger amount for rent of City Hall
than is credited, and it is well known
that the. building has been frequently oc
cupied and only eight occasions are ac
counted for. The amount of Pound fees
credited is much less than citizens have
reported, but as few receipts were; given
and those not taken care ot we could not
arrive at the facts our rule having been
to reject all items that we could not sub
stantiate beyond doubt and to which of
the city officers belonged the duty of col
lecting these two items of revenue we
conld not learn. .. s"-
We have made an examination? of the
disbursements only as far as relates to the
amounts paid the Treasurer and Collector
and' also the Marshal and find that the
former has received as follows : ' "

, t . , . I -
which date Mr. Woodford, former incum
bent, "did duty as 'Marshal and collected
$166 66, showing that the present incum
bent collected for time which he. was not
in service of the city $116 66. He has
also received, in addition', to his salary of
$1,500,, $233 lor killing dogs, which kill
ing was done by a colored man in the pay
of. the city, and $75 for registering dogs,
which; registering was the duty of the
Clerk of tbe Board of Assessors.

aminations of the disbursements for last
year as their time may admit, and at some
future day make a report of said exami- !
