An Exeltlaff Buna way. - One of the most exciting runaways of tha season took place yesterday morning. Ahorse belonging to Mr. Samuel Blossom, a very spirited nag, attached to a light wagon, be came frightened at something near 8 1 James' Church and dashed' down Market street to Hoggins' corner, where the wagon came in contact with the wheel of a country cart, tear ing two, of the wheels and one . of the shafts from the wagon and throwing the driver, Mr. Joseph Barnes, to the ground. The horse then became detached from the wagon, which was pretty badly demolished, and continued In his mad career down theldealk to the vicinity of Mr. Range's' grocery, where he took the middle' of the street ,snd was soqn after stopped. The reins, which Mr. Barnes held . . . . mm a m t I firmly to his haqas.partea just as me collision took place. His escape from serious injury, under the'clrcumstances, is considered almost mUsculous. ' , -. .. ,' Fahloat.iots. ; .'v . T. T 1 l- .111. . A ww ii .1 in . .nna K. va nrtm A In AiVJk ".

The "Old Reliable" dramatic troupe con cluded a very successful ten days' engagement In Wilmington, last evening. ihe play, pro duced was a dramatization of the old Ledger romance of the Bidden Hand.

During the presence of this company in the city, we hAve not felt warranted to bestow very emphatic praise upon all Its members. Unmerited eulogy is always hurtful In such cases. Yet we have seen much to commend in Miss D'Este, whom we regard as an actress whose opportunities are tty no means equal to her merits. For Miss D'Este, and lor Mr. and Mrs.' Tannehlll we bespeak the favorable consideration of the press In cities South of us, which their decided merits invite. There, Is no company, travelling in the 8outh which undertakes so successfully so high an order of entertainments. " . UIU0WAT BOBBEBY. A Gentleman Halted Highwaymen and on the Boad by Bobbed of Ills Honey, Ac. j. -. Yesterday morning, about 5 John H. Harper whs resides o'clock, Mr. near 8cott's HU1, in this county, was suddenly halted on the road, while on his way to this city, by four men, either colored or white men dls gnised. One of the robbers seized the brldls of the horse, when Harper jumped out of his cart and approached him, s:eing which tbe villain drew a pistol. Mr. Harper; having no arms, was Immediately overpowered by his assailants, by whom he was robbed of $195 in money and some articles of value, hat, pocket knife. &c The parties then enterod the cart nd drove in the direction of the city. The robbery occurred on the Newbern road, about four miles from Wilmington. Take altogether, this is one of the most bold and daring rob beries' that has ever occurred In this vicinity, and it is to be hoped for the good name of our county, if for nothing more, tbe guilty parties may be speedily brought to justice. t . mm The Work House. . .

FREMoflrr, ! 2t r i Engineer and 8arerlntendent. Kunlelpal A flairs. i We have been placed In possession of a pamphlet containing the Annual R' ports the municipal officers of the City of Wilmlng ton for the fiscal year ending January 9tb 1873." From the Report of Mayor MaYtin we take the following: s .t . -1 By a recent Act of General Assembly, the City Is authorized to issue new Bonds to the amount of $200,000, for the purpose qt paying oil the present floating debt, and also to ex change a similar six per cent.' gold interest bearing bond for those issued fn 1869 and 1870. It is exoected that by tbe sale of about $100,, 000 of Bonds tbe whole of the present annoy ing unfunded debt may be cared for, . and tbe present high rate of Interest thereon avoided.', ; It is of utmost importance to the City credit," that the law be complied with, and a tax levied Jto provide by sinking fund for the prompt payment of tbe debt as . it becomes . due. In the tax levy of 1873 It should be commenced and contiwaed from year to year until every dollar of the City debt Is extinguished. ' in wuiy last a conciuaea a seiuemenc oi ue matter at issue with the Wilmington . Library Association, regarding the possession of the two North rooms in the City Hall, which they bad held lor several years. In the settlement OeJhts matter I paid to the Library Associa tion, Filteen Hundred Dollars in six per cent, gold interest bearing bonds of thl City. The rooms are now In possession of- the City ; the front orth room is occupied by tbe City Mar shal, and the rear room Is nsed by the Library Association, without rent. While I think the KMsession could have been obtained after a ong and expensive law suit, I deemed If for the interest of tbe City to end ; tbe matter without recourse to law. . . ' I ' It becomes necessary during the months of January and February to provide, by adequate taxation, for the support of the City Govern ment. In order that this may be done under standing I submit the . following estimate of J the amount required, viz: -r " l . , J -. ' ' . flj AAA I Ordinary expenses............. ,uw Extraordinary Expenses. . ............ 16,000 Interest, 45.000 ExDense. .:v..-;. $145,000 8Inklng Fund .V. . . . A. . . ...... ... . . . . 10,000 ToUl required, .............. . $155,000 Tbi&amonnt imr ue realized by a tax of 1 cents uOon the dollar of valuation of 'real and personal property, and an increase oi irom ou to 100 ner cenAam on the License tax. By er new valuation of City real estate, we may ex. pect considerable addition to the present amount which reaches about $3,510,000. 1 am quite sure' the total value of real and personal property will not fall much short o( $5,000,000, All the Improvements show that oar City is progressing tbat prosperuyjpas : again oegun to flow towards us. Our merchants and trad- era have been peculiarly benefitted by . the In creased demand, and large prices paid for our special product, naval stores. We have the well deserved name of the great naval store market, a specialty which gives nsat all times a laree-trade -with the. whole world. - That, with the increasing demand, our trade will still more increase,- there can be no doub. ' I beg to call the particular attention ' of all our citizens to the great importance of the Im provement of the mouth of - the Cape Fear River, and the river itself now being worked, upon . -by ' the' Government of the United States, and ? lor which - two appropriations havebeen made. 8o far the work baa been eminently , successful. :,I feel that much, if not everything, connected with the future prosperity of our city depends upon the successful completion othe work.-1 have lost no opportunity to speak and write, and by every other means urge tonrard and chrtr on the able oQcera in charge. I cannot for bear in this place to accord great credit to tbe Chamber of .Commerce of our city for their efforts, and most particularly do I desire to express the thanks of the cly officials to Henry Nutt, Esq., tbe able unairman or the Special Committee appointed by the Chamber ot Com merce, for his valuable services, and the earn- e6t ; and unflagging zeai : wun wmcn ne nas worked in behalf of the wellare of the city in this matter. . . . ' I recommend that every effort be used to brlnz the matter before Congress during their present session, with the hope that ample ap-" propriatlon will bje made to comoiete the worK At the close of my report I desire to make vine . ,.. . ' ; - t v such recommendations as seem to me desira ble, after an experience of two years In the position of Chief .Magistrate of the city, or which will decrease the expenditures, or add to the comfort Of our people, viz : , .t i ; 1st. That the Ordinance regarding sidewalks ne enforced until every street m the city nas at least one good. walls upon it. That in all; the-principal streets the crossings belaid with substantial stone. That South and north wa ter streets from Dock street to Red Cross, and Nail street from Red Cross street to the Wil mington and Weldon Rail Road be paved, with suDstantiai stone or wooden pavement, ana. that the property be assessed - for the cost of the work. It is a reflection upon our city that these principal thoroaghiaresare in ' such dl lapiaatea condition. ; . : . , ..; - 3d. That the , police " force be fixed . at . tbe number not exceeding thirty. including, ofll- LCIB UUU U1CI1. 3d. That means be taken to lessen the cost I of maintenance of the indigent sick and pan ent sick and pan- pen. i r e r - -: . -a s '-' : ' t n .. 4th. That an Auditor be appointed to per form the duties usually appertaining to an of nee oi mat Kino, a nnd it is indispensable that some person shall be appointed to take charge of and properly audit and file all bills aod claims against the city. oi u. inat the amount allowed the dmerent fire companies be fixed at the actual expense incurred oy mem and no more. - 6th. That the City Hall building be' tbor onghjy. repaired, internally and externally. The cost will not exceed $3,500. The exterior coating Is rapidly falling, while some of the interior cornices and plastering are" danger ously loose. It is wrongthat so Important a building should be allowed to remain in bad repair. It is also of great importance that mere snouid oe a change in the guard room, At present the office of therTreasurer. also oc cupied by the Mayor, is rendered untenable by me cisagreeaoie odor arising from the Guard tipuse below, . It Js disagreeable, unhealthy and nnenduraoie. cw me, place should De pur chased for a guard bouse and police headquar ters at some central part of the city, or a suit able bulldlog-erected upon the City Hall lot for the purpose. . :. ; ? i;.: C Oder the changed circumstances of our people the City Hall la visited upon business by an classes or people, and the -public build ings shonld be made as agreeable . as possible) particularly mey snouid be Kept tree from dis agreable smel's, and the cries and curses of drunken and insane tiersons. which so fre quently now interrupt public business. I ask your serious and immediate consideration to this.'.- ?- .- i ,- , . . 7th: That at least six cisterns of the capacity of 400 bbla each be built at points where no better means of obtaining water exist Several Important parts of our city are without means or obtaining - water in times : of ' fire. Should, any responsible company under take , to supply, . the city . with . water I- should prefer greatly that aid, be ex tended them, to building the cisterns. It Is to be hoped that our city will soon have tbe beniflt of an ample supply of water, the want of which is badly felt. 1 8th. That the City Assessors meet imme diately, and proceed to value all property which has been Improved or depreciated since the valuation of loby. 9th..
