THE GUBAT COLDIR NEBRASKA
, YESTERDAY. ' 1 i I
A telegram, received last night
from Lincoln," Nebraska states that a
great snow storm prevailed through
that section yesterday, with consid
erable loss bf life. That women and
children exposed to the intense cold,
ghould suffer, and in some cases per
ish, is not so surprising as that hardy
men should freeze to death in a few
rods of their dwellings: .
The season has been awfully bitter,
and the great West has suffered
severely. The tragio experience of
Minnesota, in the ' dead of the
winter is now supplemented by
the ghastly 'story we get from
Nebraska. It is sad to think that,
just as Spring in all its panoply of
warmth and beauty " comes laughing
through the strife" of a severe winter
in our sunny South, a horrible blight
of chilling cold should fall upon our
Western neighbors and destroy many
lives.
We suppose this has been the se
verest winter the country has known
in many years. The season lias cer
tainly been one of horrors by storm,
fire and criminal carelessness beyond
any in the records of onr age and na
tion. , .

Art EuUrtalnineiitt,
This evening, at the Opera House, Prof.
R. Gr.. Cromwell will commence his series
of Art Entertainments, with the representa
tion of "London, the Modern Babylon."
The Charleston Evening Bulletin says of
one of his entertainments in that city:
Last evening, an exceedingly intellectual
audience witnessed with the profoundest
admiration, the ; gems of classio sculpture
that have been gathered by the accomplish
ed Professor' from all quarters of the globe.
A gentleman who was present last evening
called upon us this morning, and stated
mat no naa seen uie originals of the statues
presented, as they ;. stood , in their proper
places in the Vatican, Lourve- and other
places, and he considered that a person ob
tained a far better idea of the beauty of the
various works, as shown on the canvass,
than they could by gazing upon the origi-.
nals, as they stand surrounded by other
works of art. or else the effect spoiled by a
too light background. The Professor throws
the statue npon a dark background, and
hence the statue presents such a life-like
appearance that one almost expects to hear
It speak. : i ..
The following letter from Bishop Atkin
son speaks for itself:
Wilmington, N. C., Feb. 21, 1873.
Having attended several of Professor
Cromwell's Art Entertainments, it gives me
pleasure to - express my conviction, . that
they not only gratify the eye and the imag
ination, but convey valuable instruction by
giving more full and precise ideas of fa
mous cities, picturesque scenery, and . ex
quisite works of art - , t . . ..

A. citizen of Anson county reached tha
city yesterday with a heart leaping for joy,-
and a tin box filled with what he supposed
to .fee gold. Tho. precious ore had. been
picked up on a farm' in Anson, and there
were indications that a bushel or two could
be " gethered togather" in from seventy-five
to thirty minutes. We have never seen
man fuller of "Great Expectations" than
was that amateur miner from the county of
Anson. " I've struck a streak of luck this
time," ha almost sobbed in. his delirium of
joy. But he hadn't; hebad only struck a
little iron pyrites, according to an expert
who examined the ore... . You ought to have
seen that son of Anson when be was in
formed that he had "lugged" twenty-five
pounds of iron pyrites all the way from his
native hills to this goodly city. From a
face wreathed in smiles there was a sudden
change to a physiognomy clothed in thun
der; the iron was dropped as if it were a
pocket edition of the small-pox; and1 that
Anson man concluded, like Jthe immortal
Rip Van Winkle, that he had " done shwore
off, and wouldn't count datone" " if the
Court; knew herself, and she thought she
did."- '!. - - - '

What Haa Boon Accomplished-?-A
Word to our Merchant on the
. Subject of Direct Importation.
One of the most gratifying evidences of
thrift and enterprise among our Wilming
ton merchants is the increasing interest
manifested in the establishment of direct
trade with foreign countries. We regard
this as a subject of the greatest importance
to the prosperity of our city; and we note
with pleasure the fact that since our late
war perhaps ' one-half the naval stores
shipped from this place, has gone direct to
European markets thus realizing to our
producers and dealers at home some bene'
fit from the hijrber prices which these
articles bring abroad. The freighting of
this merchandise has been done generally by
irregular vessels, chartered for- a single
voyage; and it is but recently .that a sue-"
cessful effort has been made to establish a
regular line to Europe. . We allude to the
''Fleetwood" Line of English barkentines,
for which our fellow-citizens Messrs. Tick
& Mebane are Agents! These vessels trade
direct between Wilmington and Liverpool,
or other British ports, and make their
voyages. with almost .the regularity of
packet ahlps. 'It ii less than three "years
since the first vessel of this line came to
Wilmington under charter, in the usual
way. Her owner, Mr. Thomas Seed, of
Fleetwood, England, was so well pleased
with her first visit that he sent her back on
a second voyage, , and very soon had her
followed by another vessel 'of the same
class. Being found exactly suited to the
trade, these two vessels were adopted as
models for the construction of others; and
there are now on the line term staunch new
'clippers," viz: the M. E. Seed, the Bril
liant Star, the Elizabeth Taylor, the George
Sooth, the Tick t Mebane, the E. Shun and
the Edmund Biehardwn, They are all of
nearly the same size, averaging about 280
tons register, are uniform in rig and gen
eral appearance, carry small cargoes, and
are very fast sailers; and .are thus in all
respects, admirably adapted to the trade for
which they have been" construced. The
eighth one on the list will . be ready for sea
in a few weeks, and is to be called the Lucy
Tkk, in honor of the little daughter of Mr.
S. W. Vick, of this city. The naming of
two vessels for the Wilmington Agents, is,
we take it, a neat compliment on the part
of the owners to . the satisfactory manage
ment they have received at this end of the
line.
The success of these vessels has been
really remarkable, and we feel sure that the
encouragement they have received has been
such as to make the permanency of the line
beyond doubt Their light draught when
loaded is a peculiar advantage, as it obviates
the expense and delay of lightering a por
tion of the cargo down, the river, which
always has to be done for vessels drawing
more than twelve feet With the present
increased depth of water on the bar, these
vessels come and go on almost any tide
without delay or difficulty. Their sailing
qualities have already gained them quite a
reputation, and instead of being out thirty
or thirty-five days between here and Liver
pool, as was formerly the case with nearly
all vessels, these little clippers make the trip
in from twenty to twenty-four days.' One
of them went home from here in December
last in the astonishingly short period of
eighteen days, and we shall not be surprised
to hear of its being done in even leas time
than that ., ,
At present' the only articles of merchan
dise largely imported here from England are
salt, hoop iron, cotton ties and railway iron ;
and these are not. brought here in such
quantities as to furnish cargoes for all the
vessels which can be loaded homeward. It
would be well for our-merchants to turn
their attention to the matter of importing
their own goods direct from England,, for
we are assured that it can be done as cheaply
here as at the North. ; JThe fact that vessels
frequently come here in baUatt to load with
naval stores for Europe, is sufficient proof
that they would bring merchandise it a very
low rate. of freight, if ifj:ould behad. ..The
Fleetwood Line offers excellent opportunity
to our wholesale merchants to undertake
their own importing, as the Agents here
assure us . that goods 3 will . be . brought by
thehr vessels at a merely nominal rate of
freight, only for the sake of the homeward
cargo. , They rate first-class 'and insure as
low as any other vessels.

Dr. Smith's Laetnre.
We have seldom listened to a more pleas
ing and instructive discourse than that de
livered by this distinguished gentleman last
evening. ;. The perfect quiet and good order
indicated . the kind of audience that had
assembled to hear the lecture; and certain
ly no intelligent and cultivated person who
heard it could fail to be interested, t Thirty
years ago Dr. Smith was pastor of the
Methodist church in this city, and he al-.
luded in the commencement of his lecture
to the kind and -affectionate regard which
mutually, subsisted between himself and
his congregation some of wjiose familiar
faces were still recognized in the audience
before him. . His theme, " The Social Ele
ment in Man's Nature," had been suggest
ed by the invitation to appear again before
a Wilmington audience after an absence" of
so many years, and it was discussed in a
very thorough and ' interesting - manner:
We can give only a synopsis of bis remarks,
which occupied about an hour In the de
livery. ; ' s ;-"''" :"
Commencing with the declaration of the
Creator, "It is not good for man to-be
alone," he traced the working and influence
of the social element thus implanted in
man's nature, through all the combinations
and modifications of society. His allusions
to marriage as the first and most important
institution for the culture and gratification
of man's desire for. companionship -and
society, were peculiarly forcible and inter
esting, and especially his remarks in regard
to the efforts of modern ' social theorists to
destroy the sanctity and perpetuity of this
divine institution. . Every phase of social
life was shown to be the direct out-growth
of this element in manB : nature, -whether
manifested in organizations for political, re
ligious, social or charitable purposes.7 The.
love of country, one of the strongest and
most striking peculiarities of the human
character, comes from the same -original
source; and the lecturer'a allusions to .the
patriotic names of history from-the earliest
age down to the fresh, green graves of our
noble and illustrious Lee and Jackson, were
as eloquent as they were learned 'and inter
esting. 5. i'f.- ' ; .-
Dr. Smith's delivery is very impressive
and pleasing, and his voice is, full and
clear. We noticed the slight inconvenience
he experienced from want of a properly
constructed lectern, the pulpit he used be
ing so low as to require considerable stoop
ing in order to bring the light on his manu
script. r : ! --.'r
Accident to Gen. Dockery.
We learn that Gen, Alfred Dockery met
with quite a serious accident on Friday last
He was standing on the verge of what is
known as Cartledge's Creek, eBgaged in
superintending operations on his, farm.
when the bank suddenly caved in, precipi
tating the unfortunate gentleman into the
rocky depths below; When rescued from
his perilous position it was found that he
had received several severe cuts about the
head, besides numerous bruises on different-
Darts bf the body. At last accounts it was
difficult to determine the exact extent of
his injuries or how they would be likely to
result.

the damage to turpentine trees, fences, oc.,
has also been very severe, amounting alto-

' Tkb Wild 6nn do not regard Dr. Aver's wisdom
in migrating north such Immense numbers of them
as are flying over us now, while his almanac says:
"Bleak and blustering about this time, with heavy
snow." Cedar Rapidi (la.) Tipes, March 3.
. We were too fast last week In our item on Um con
flict between Dr. Aver and the wild eeese. The
Doctor's science beat their instinct this time. - Not
for years have we had such a snow storm as toatof
last Sunday. The snow lies three feet deep on a
level .in Minnesota and two feet, la Wisconsin,
while the storm has swept from the Atlantic to tha
Rocky Mountains. Snow fell to various- depths as
far south as Denver, Fort Union and Santa . Fet
Learned as we believed Dr. Ayer in the arena of na
ture, and wonderful as we knew his medicines to be.
we were not prepared for so signal an instance of his
superiority, not only over the wise men, but the
wisest of animals whose Instinct Is considered un-,
failing.- We drive up the peg more firmly than ever
over onr hearth for Ayer's American Almanac.
