',.': " Correspondence Morning Star. Wilson, N. C., Nov. 22. For several weeks the young Thespians of our town have been preparing for a melo dramatic entertainment, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to St. John's Or phan Asylum at Oxford. From the known talent of several of our amateurs, public expectation was raised to a high pitch, the popularity of the plays selected fr perform ance and the object for which the enter tainment was principally given, imparting unusual zest to this expectation. Last evening Mamona Hall, our theatre, was crowded. It was a bright and elegant throng; one that would dp credit even to larger places than "Wilson, The principal play was Bulwer's splendid drama, "The Lady of Lyons," which I will say was as well acted as I ever saw it on the stage, and I have seen it presented in New York and Baltimore by some of out" test troupes. i I have not room forjthe whole cast,4: It was an excellent one I can truly say. The char acterizations were all fine. The Claude Mdnotte of Mr. W. II. Blount was strikingly spirited,- and Miss Carrie Jenkins distinguished herself as Pauline, adding to the reputation she already en joyed here for talent of a. varied order. Jlr. Murray a& Dama brought down : the house. "' ' ' The music was of a high order. The performance concluded with "The Rough Diamond. Miss bue VV llnams as Margery and Mr. Williams as Cousin Joe were inimi table. All the parts in this as in "The Lady of Lyons," were well played. On the whole it was one of the most agreeable entertainments I ever attended. A considerable sum was realized for the noble charitv to which it was dedicated. . -. R. THE CITY. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.

The Norfolk Virginian, alluding to the performances of the troupe ia that city says: V The Opera House was again filled last evening to witness the third nd last representation by Bidwell & Mc Donough's Black Crook Combination, and the impression is general that it would have drawn well to the end of the week. The company, taken altogether, is one of the best and the most attractive seen in this city since the war. There are quite a number -of its members who have high claims to histrionic ability, and the scenery, ward robes, music, etel, are excellent, and ar ranged in the best manner calculated for effect." :: ' ..; ' : Absurd, itnmors. All sorts of absurd rumors -were afloaat on the streets yesterday, among which was one to the effect that the Brig Vera, which lias been lying on the west side of the river for some weeks past, was a Cuba war vessel in dissuise..with machinery conceal ed in her hold. The Vera is a Norwegian brig, has been chartered by Messrs. G. G. Barker & Co., and is now loading for. Eu rope. Withdrawn. We learn, that the suits against Wm, .H. lloore, J.

The CUT Pear Again To give our readers a better understand ing of the matter of taking care of the city poor, which duty by an Ordinance of the city passed by the Board of Aldermen at its last meeting, was transferred from the city to the Board of County Commissioners, we would state that the only tax levied by the County Commissioners for the support of the poor of the city and county is 25 cents on each poll. On this there is not over $600 collected ; annually; of; which $325: is col lected in the city and paid over to the City Treasurer, which leaves about $275 for the support of the poor, and afflicted of the county. We understand that it costs the county to support the poor and sick of the county at least $4,500. Deducting the, amount colleoted on the poll outside of the city ($275), and we find that $4,225 has to be paid out of what is known as the general fund of the county. Now we-are reliably informed that the people of the city pay at least three-fourths of" the general fund. In that view the , people of the city of Wilmington pay for taking care of the county poor outside of he city $3,- 168.75. Now take into consideration the fact that the city has had to support her own poor, besides taking care of the coun ty poor, for which purpose she has paid out annually some $10,633.43, and then add the amount paid for the support of the county poor, -and we find that the city of Wilmington has actually been paying for the support of the poor in city and county the enormous sum of $13,802.18. TPhe only authority Upon which the city has therefore been supporting its poor is contained in sec. 6 of the laws of 1868-'69, which is considered no authority at alL It is as follows: That the poor tax levied by the County Commissioners for the support of the in digent of the county of New Hanover, which may be levied or assessed upon cit izens of .the city- of Wilmington, and their property in the ctty.-shall be collected and paid .to - the .. Treasurer or 'said city by i the bnerut ot .New jianover county, and he shall be required to keep a separate and distinct account of said1 tax ' levied , or as sessed as - aforesaid,- and .ttrjou - default or failur to pay 4he same at. the time and times that he mav be reonrred so to do. it shaU be lawfm for the city of iy.ilmington to institute suit upon such" Sheriffs official bonds, for the recovery of the same so due the citV. bv infltiarrbef ore the Judee of the Superior Court aTer twenty flaysv notice of we mouon to ine saia . onerux ana nis se- carities.
