TIi e meeting To-Day.
All interested in the speedy completion
of a Railroad from this city to Onslow
county, skirting the seacoast, should not
fail to attend the meeting at the Commercial
Exchange this morning, at 11 o'clock, when
the matterof consolidating the various pro
jected lines will be taken into consideration.
This Is a matter of serious concern to our
people "and they should realize the impor
tant fact that note, if ever, is the time to act.
The occasion is one that calls for all the en
terprise for which the business men of
Wilmington have always been noted, and
we hope it will be displayed in a proper
shape at the meeting to-day. A company
is already on the eve of obtaining a charter
from the Legislature for a road which will,
if constructed, cut off our city from many
of its former sources of supplies and our
people must be prepared to counteract, as
far as possible, what may otherwise in the
end prove to be more detrimental to our
interests than we can at present imagine.
Let there be a large attendance at the meet
ing this morning and such a concert of
action determined upon as will insure the
speedy completion of the Wilmington and
Planters' Railroad. 4

Cotton Stealing.
Some unknown operator in the cotton
business opened a bale on Mr. J. H. NefTs
wharf, foot of Dock street, on Monday
night, and abstracted a sufficient quantity
to fill twenty good size bags, and carried it
off. Two police officers were put on the
track of the missing cotton yesterday morn
ing and succeeded in tracing it to a wharf
on North'Water street near a cotton press..
Upon the arrival of the proprietor of the
press he disclaimed any knowledge what
ever of the cotton, it having been left there
during his absence, and at his request it was
taken to the City Hall to await further de
velopments. No clue has been obtained to
the perpetrator of the robbery.

Merchants' Licenses.
In the House of Representatives on Mon
day, Mr. Richardson read a memorial from
sundry merchants of this city, Raleigh,
Charlotte, and other places In North Caroli
na, asking the Legislature to exempt
them from paying the . burdensome li-
censes, while they are required to list
their merchandise- as personal property.
No action has yet been taken on the memo
rial, but it is supposed that it will receive
favorable consideration.
Postponement.
On-account of the terrible state of the
weather yesterday and last night it was
deemed advisable by Miss Patterson to post
pone her entertainment in Histrionic Read
ings and Recitations, which was advertised
to take place at the Opera House last night,
until to-morrow (Thursday) evening, when
it is hoped that it will be more propitious.
In the meantime reserved seats can be
secured at Heinsberger's Bookstore without
extra charge.

WILMINGTON, N.
Local Dots.
John Hill colored, was. sent to the
Work House yesterday to serve for thirty
days.
The regular meeting of Wilmington
Commandery, for the election of officers,
will be held this evening.
We have rarely seen a more disagree
able day than yesterday. The street cross
ings were in a horrible condition.
The bill in relation to the destruction
of deer in Robeson and Sampson counties
has passed its final reading in the House.
- Only one short week to Christmas, and
yet it will seem a long time to the little ones
who are expecting favors from Santa Claus.
- There was only one trifling case before
the Mayor's Court yesterday morning, and
the fine in that was subsequently remitted
by the Mayor.
We learn that a number of the young
gentlemen of this city propose to give a
' hop" at Lippitt's Hall this evening, com
plimentary to Miss Jeanie -Patterson.
The Chapman Sisters, we now learn,
have concluded not to extend their visit to
this city during the present season. They
will come no nearer here than Sumter.
A tree was cut down across the side
walk on the West side of Sixth, between
Chestnut and Mulberry streets, several days
ago, and it still remains in that position,
making it necessary for pedestrians to take
the middle of the street to get by it.
Adelphean Literary Society.
At a meeting of the young gentlemen
composing the above Society, held at Brook
lyn Hall last evening, the following officers
were eleetcd for the ensuing term:
President E. P. Bailey.
Vice President E. G. Parmalee.
Treasurer J. D. Burr.
Query Committee H. W. Finlayson,
W. W. Hodges, H. W. Shaw.
Supervising Committee H. W. Shaw,
R. B. Hartsfield. W. J. Smith.
Financial Committee J. D. Burr, J. B.
Schulken, A. C. Craft
We are glad to learn that the Adelphean
Society is in a prosperous condition. It has
only been in existence about three months
and it now numbers twenty members.
These societies are very beneficial to the
youth of the city and as such deserve every
encouragement.
Nearly Suffocated.
The absence from his post of the night
guard employed at the county jail, a few
nights ago, came near resulting seriously to
the prisoners. By some accident the gas
lights all went out and the atmosphere of
the cells became so impregnated with the
gas that the prisoners coma scarcely
breathe. They became frightened and
shouted so lustily that Jailor Nashwas
aroused from his slumbers. Being under
the impression at the time that the prison
ers were attempting to escape he secured
the necessary assistance and proceeded to
examine into the matter, when he discov
ered the cause of the demonstration on the
part of his boarders. They made a narrow
escape and the guard deserves the severest
censure for his inattention.
Fonl Chimneys.
A foul chimney on Second, between
Market and Dock streets, caught fire yester
day afternoon and continued to burn so
long a time and to emit such a glaring
flame and such a quantity of sparks, that
some uneasiness was felt, notwithstanding
everything was wet from the rain which
had been falling during the day. The reg
ular old-fashioned chimney-sweep is an in
stitution much needed in this city. Chim
neys should always be kept as free from
soot as possible, otherwise they are danger
ous.
Narrow Escape.
A gentleman accidentally walked over
board near the foot of Dock street, last
night, and but for the fact that a number of
colored men were close at hand and hur
ried to his assistance it is more than likely
he would have been drowned. As it was
he only suffered the inconvemence of a
cold bath, which of itself was anything but
pleasant
Cars Thrown from the Track.
We learn that an accident occurred on
the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, yesterday morning, a short dis
tance beyond Mars Bluff, by which five or
six freight cars were thrown from the track.
We did not ascertain the extent of the dam
age.

$30 per pair in the art stores. As it is the determi
nation of the conductors to keep THE ALDINE out
of the reach of competition in every department, the ,
chromos will be found correspondingly ahead of any
that can be offered by other periodicals. Every sub

of the publishers, guaranteeing that the chromos de
