WILMINGTON,
Eanter Sunday i
' The Festival of Easter was celebrated in
the various churches in which it is observed,
on Sunday, with, if possible 'more than
usual interest. ", Notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather large congrega
tions were in attendance, j
At St.. James'. (Episcopal) church the
most prominent feature was a new aud
handsome Lecturn, composed of solid
brass, ordered direct from Europe and used
for the first time on this occasion as an Easter
offering; The decorations jwere prof use and
very handsome. In rear of tbe pulpit was
the inscription, in beautifiil lettering, "The
last Enemy that shall fee destroyed is
Death." Over this inscription was a large
cross, set in a mound of flowers, with a
large and magnificent calla lily rising from
tho base, and above the dross was a crown
composed of evergreens and beautiful flow
ers. Each corner of the chaucel railing,
and the Baptismal font, jwere also hand
somely decorated, while other portions of
the building were rich in floral adornments,
festoous and wreaths of evergreens, &c. ;
Bishop Atkinson conducted the morning
services and confirmed fourteens persons,
Dr. Watson officiating in he evening.
, On Good Friday the decoration of St.
Paul's Evang. Lutheran phurch were very
handsome. The pulpit, altar and gas fix
tures were adorned with j moss and crape.
In the rear of the pulpit yas a large cross,
which was duplicated by a small one in
front of the same, both composed of moss
and crape. On the wall, on the left of
the pulpit, was the Inscription: "It
is finished," and oa the right the same sen
tence, translated in German, "Es ist voll-
bracht," all in black letters of German type.
On Sunday the decorations in this church
were also very handsome knd striking. The
inscription, "The Lord is Risen Indeed,"
in letters of evergreen, adorned the wall, a
portion of the Bentenco being on either side
of the pulpit, and made a very fine appear
ance. Suspended above Jthe pulpit was a
handsome crown composed of evergreens,
while in tbe rear of the pulpit was a cross
of the same material. Another cross, of J
smaller proportions, was displayed in front
of the pulpit Handsome floral and ever
green decorations adorned the pulpit, altar,
&c,, the beautiful flowers being viewed
with striking effect by th audience, while
the walls and other portions of the sacred
edifice werej-ichly decorated with garlands,
festoons and wreaths of evergreen.
St. Paul's (Episcopal) Church was also
very tastefully decorated j particularly the
communion table, Baptismal font and the
window in the rear of jibe church, alto
gether having a very charming effect. The
Reor, Rev. Mr. Ambler officiated.
The prominent feature of St. John's
Church was an Easter Offering composed
of two haudsome vases, which were filled
with beautiful flowers. JWe were disap
pointed in not receiving a! description of the
decorations which was promised, but learn
that they were much the same as those at
St. James', being very handsome and tasty.
The Rector, Rev. Mr. Patterson, officiated
in the morning and Bishop Atkinson in tbe
evening services, the latter confirming a
number of persons. j
We were also disappointed in our expec
tation of receiving a description of the
decorations at St. Thomasj Cathoiic Church.
We understand, however, that they were
profuse and very handsomely and appro
priately arranged. Rev. Father Gross offi
ciated at ibis church.
3ll Anna Dickinson;
Comlns.
From a note from Mr. O. G. Bernard,
agent, we learn that Miss Anna E. Dickin
son, the celebrated female lecturer and ora
tor, will, early in April, make her first
Southern, tour, and will include this city in
her route. Her subjects embrace 1. "Joan
of Arc." 2. "What's to Hinder." The
agent states that in a few days he will be
able to name precise date of her projected
visit to Wilmington. Aa an eloquent and
popular speaker Miss Dickinson has attained
a very wide and enviable" reputation, which
secures her large and appreciative audi
ences wherever she appears, i
Upward and Onward.
. This seems to he the motto of all the
i '
towns and villages on the Carolina Central.
On a recent visit to Wadesborp, says the
editor of the Polkton Ansimiart, we were
highly gratified to see so many evidences of
improvement and progress. Her streets
were thronged with wagons, and the sound
of hammer and saw could be heard in every
direction. , We were glad to see it, for we
are proud of the spirit which is waking up
this old country. Give JWadesborO the C.
& S. RR., and new houses on her vacant
lots, and a liberal dress of white lead, and
Anson may well feel proud of her old bor

Tbe Hibernian Ball and Supper.
, The Opera House last night wore a festive
appearance, the occasion being the tenth
annual supper and ball of the Hibernian
Benevolent Association. ; The spacious hall
was lighted up from dome lo floor and the
brilliant gas jets shone in! fascinating radi
ance upon the many colored banners that
hung in lavish festoons around the walls.
The music was all that could be desired to
render the pleasure of . the dancers most
perfect. The committee showed by the
perfection of the arrangements that no ex
pense had been spared to render the occa
sion one fit to eclipse all' its predecessors.
We have seldom gazed upon a more joyous
throng than that that crowded the ample
floors and " tripped ' the light fantastic"
until the " wee sma'" hours. Erin's green
predominated in the decorations yid the
beautiful banner of the; 'Association hung
suspended from the centre of the hall, -
We cannot forbear to speak in ; terms of
fitting commendation of the really charm
ing appearance presented by the ladies on
the occasion. ; Suffice it j to say that the
entire affair was truly pleasant and was ex
tremely enjoyable throughout. At about
12 O'clock supper was called.. Two long
tables filled with everything the most
epicurean taste could desire were set upon
the stage and , when the scenes were shifted
the arrays of eatables that were presented
to the gaze of the worn and weary dancers
was sufficient to recuperate their wasted
energies at a glance: ;
7 The guests being all seated at the tables,
supper was served up by Collins in his
usual satisfactory style. ! Capt. L B. Grain
ger, the lVesident of the Association, oc
cupied the oe..r at the head of one of the
tables, at the foot of which was seated Mr.
J. H. Allen, the Vice President. Mr. John
Dawson, the honorary President, occupied
a seat at the head of the other table.
After the table was -cleared the popping
of champagne bottles ensued, and Capt. L
B. Grainger, who presided, announced the
following regular toasts of the evening:
1. Ireland. ," :. .'
Responded to by Mr. John Dawsou.
2. The Land of our Adoption.
Responded to by Mr. F. H. Darby. '
3. The Old North State.
Responded to by Mr. J. W. Reilly.
4. Our Sister Societies.; -Responded
to by Mr. Berry Gleaves.
5. Our Deceased Members.
Responded to by Maj. James Reilly.
6. The Press. !
Responded to by Mr. F. H. Darby.'
A response to this toast from Mr. W. H.
Bernard, of the Star, was also read. .
7. The Ladies. j
Responded to by Mr. Wm. A Wright.
8. The City of Wilmington.
Responded to by W. P, Canaday, Esq.
After a sufficient time had been spent in
reiterating the memories of "Old Ireland,"
and in response to the several toasts that
were proposed over sparkling glasses the
dance again ensued and was still at its height
when we wended our way from the festive
hall and turned our backs upon the gay as
semblage, leaving them to dance the merry
hours away until' the first peep of dawn
should warn them to desist.
l For the Star.
THE GAUGE QUESTION,
Wchave a decided opinion that the State
should assert its right to maintain uniform
ity of gauge in our railroads at all hazards.
The State seems originally to have left the
question of gauge to the first railroad com
panies, and they followed the custom then
existing in .England ana m tne jxortnern
States of this country, ii We are informed
that the Supreme Court ascertained that
nine-tenths ot the railroads in the world have
a 4: feet 8i inch gauge! : . j :
One of tbe Judges has been heard to re
mark that while there was no statute law
making the gauge of the N. C. Road 4 feet
8 inches it was no doubt the policy and in
tention of the State to have tbe road built
that gauge as it connected with only rail
roads of that gauge in tbe State.
Dudley, . Dickinson, .Lazarus, Meares,
Cowan, McRae and associates, in laying
down the track of the Wilmington & Wel-
don Railroad established tbe JNortu Caro
lina gauge and followed the well-known
custom of the world as to the width of rail
road tracks, f When Ashe, Gilmer, More-
head, Fisher and their, associates chartered
and built the great State Railroad' from
Goldsboro to Charlotte,' they never for a
moment dreamed that it was necessary to
say this road shall be of the same Stae
gauge as the ; Wilmington & Weldon and
Raleigh & Gaston roads, with which it con
nected on the East, as they did not believe
she had a recreant son that would rather
make it five (5) feet to connect with the ex
isting gauge of the only ; railroad theu ru li
ning into Charlotte, its Western terminus,
this being the South Carolina gauge. It
seems the Cape Fear and Ohio rivers .are
tbe general lines of division of the gauge!
There are but two linesof railroud m V ir
ginia with (5V five feet gauge Mahout's line
from Norfolk to Tennessee, and thu Rich
mond and Danville, with the York River
added, running from York lliver to Dan
ville. Tbe Piedmont in both States was al
lowed to be widened after the war because
it belonged to the R. & D. . R This was
a very unwise concession to that rud, hut
was considered a part of the Virginia sys
tem and not of this State. For a simitar
consideration the Wilmington and Mau
Chester" Railroad, with only 60 miles ia
North Carolina, was allowed Dy special act
to be (Rl five feet gauge as it run into South
Corolina, and in freighting bulk ; must be
broken somewhere and it was thought to be
an advantage to have it broken here at Wilr
mington. ' . A
For a similar reason the State has intend
ed to have the change of gauge at Char
lotte I And by what course of reasoning
the Observer of that city has adopted the
views of Maj. W. A. Smith and thinks a
change of gauge by which a straight un
broken run can be made from Augusta on
the one line and Atlanta on the other
through to Richmond, will benefit Wilming
ton or Charlotte, we are unable to see.
We refer to Maj. Smith's views in favor
of a change all tbe way to Morehead City
and West to Wolf Creek, to connect with
the Tennesseet five foot gauge.
The Observer offers us now the unbroken
gauge and business to Old Fort, but tells us
in the same article that this cannot last long
and gives the Virginia corporation and cities
the two great lines from the South now con
nected in the uniformity of gauge. .
We ; say the Governor should require a
nn
! - -
MARCH 30, 1875.
return to the State gauge, and use all the
legal power in his hands to that end.
Let the -gauge change , at Charlotte and
Wilmington and all the benefits of breaking
bulk be ours acerue to eur State. Let the
Railroads north of us change to .our gauge
if they desire our trade, as they will at n o
distant day. ' Reform must not go backwards.
While, as we said, the Ohio river is the line
of division between the roads of 4 feet 8
inchs and 5 feet gauge, yet several of the
Kentucky Railroads are 4 feet 8 inches,
and one running towards the i Cumberland
Gap from Cincinnati is of that gauge. ;
The tendency of the change is not ' to
a wider, but to a narrower gauge. You go
ahead; the people demand it and will stand
by you. t .
We are sorry to see the Asheville papers
urging their people to follow the wide gauge

C-Y ot Testimonial. Hanxibal, Mo., May 30.
1874 Messrs. J. & W. Tolley, 99 Maiden Lane, Ne
York Gent..- The 12 Gun which you built for me,
No. 3093, has arrived safely to hand. Allow me to
thank you for .the fidelity with which1 you carried oat
my instructions. The general outline, beauty of
proportion and excellent finish, are 411 that could be
desired, and more than meets my expectations. I
am more than ever impressed with the idea that it is
as necessary for a man to have a gun bnOt to meas
urement as to have a boot so bnOt to ensure a good
fit. The pattern 175 and penetration 40 are very su
perior. The pattern is as close as I desire, and the
penetration I think is seldom attained, being far
ahead f any pnblic record which I have seen.

Attorneys at Law,
Wilmington, N. C, March 29th
Eon. R. R Bridgers, President, &c.:
Dear Sir: We have this morning care
fully looked into the provisions of the only
two existing conveyances executed by the
" Wilmington & Weldon Railroad Com
pany," creating incumbrances! on the real
estate of that Company. j
The first is the mortgage made by the
Company lo Henry M. Alexander and
Ashbel 3reen, dated May 1st., 1869, and
registered in the office of the Register of
this county in Book U U at page 685. Article
6th of this mortgage expressly authorizes
and empowers the Trustees or Mortgagees
upon the request in writing of the mort
gagor (the Company) to sell' and make
title to any land covered by the mortgage
which is not 'necessary for use in con
nection with the Railroad. !
The second conveyance is the Lease from
the W. &. W. R. R. Company to the
" Wilmington, Columbia & Augusta Rail
road Company," bearing date November
20thj 1872, and registered in the office
aforesaid in Book G G G at page 703. The
6th Article of this Lease expressly provides
for the sale and conveyance of all such real
and personal property of- the Lessor em
braced in the ; Lease as may not be neces

ray case public r j i
In 1861. while on picket duty in the armv. I was
taken with a fit. which lasted all night Was taken
into camp and dosed with whiskey and quinine.
After this h&AJlts every day, and was taken to New
bern Hospital, and there. treated by the attending
physicians. I grew worse and was sent home. Re
mained in poor health for four years, ! treating with
many physicians and trying many remedies. Finally ,
Scro ula made its appearance on different parts of
my body, and my head was so diseased as to be
frightful to look at, and painful beyond endurance.
After trying the most eminent physicians without
Improvement, a change of climate was advised.
Have been to the Hot Springs in Arkansas twice.
each time giving their treatment a thorough triaL
Finally came back to Boston, discouraged with no
hope of helo. Life was a burden to one in my situa
tion. My disease, and the effect of so: rnueh power
ful medicine, had so damaged my system that the
action of my stomach was apparently destroyed,
and my head was covered with ulcers which had in
places eaten into the skull bone. i
The best physicians said my blood was so fall of
poison they could do no more for me, About this'
time a friend. who had been an invalid told me
VEGETINE has restored him to perfect health, and
through his persuasion I commenced taking VEGE
TINE. At this time I was havingfe almost every
day. I noticed the first good effects of VEGETINE
in my digestive organs. My food sat better, and
my stomach grew stidnger. I began to reel en
couraged, for I could foe my health slowly and
gradually improving. With renewed hope I con
tinued taking the VEGETINE, until it had com
pletely driven disease out of my body. It cured the
Jits, gave me good, pure blood; and restored me to
perfect neairn, vnicol nad sot' enjoyed before ior
ten years. Hundreds of people in tbe City of Boston
can vouch for the above facts. - i
VEGETINE has saved mv life, and vou are at
liberty to make such nee of this s tat anient as pleases
youbt st, and I beg you; to make it known, that
other sufferers may find relief with less trouble and
zpense than I did. t ,
It will afford me great pleasure 1 to show the
marks of my disease or give any further informa
tion relative to my case to ail wno aesu-e it. '
