Manning, Sheriff of New Han over, attempted a reply or rather made a short harangue, both at Ke nansville and Magnolia. It was very weak and Gen.

Zach. viii, 19. Oius saiih the Trd of Hosts: The i fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the tiftn, and tne iasi oi iue tscum, xu the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness and cheerful feasts. Therefore love the truth and peace.". ; ' ? The approaching Centennial made me search in the , Jewish -calendar after the date of the Declaration of Independence, and I found that the 4th of July, 1776, fell on the 17th day, on the fourth month, viz, of Thamuz, 5536. " The 17th day of Thamuz is a fast day for the Israelites in commemora tion of the destruction of Jerusalem under Titus. ; . On the same day viz, the 17th of Thamuz fell the 4th of July five times durihsr the past hundred years - in 1776, T795, 18331844 and 1863. The same will happen again in 1882. I do not elaim that the prophet meant to foretell our great anniversary, but I wislfmerely to call attention to a singular coincidence. . Talmud Rosh Hashonah, p. 18, o., and Taanith, 28 b., explain the passage above quoted as alluding to the 17th of Thamuz, and not to the 9th as mentioned in Jeremiah ch. ii. Ana - . - ; LPetersburg News.

Daily Xeics gives a list of the names, places of residence, date of death and ages of persons in Virginia who have lived 1 10 years and over. The number is eighteen, fourteen . white and four colored. - Mention is also made 'of John, a negro, who died in Washing ton, 1). C, 1838, aged 115 years. One of the persons : meutioned in the list was 130, two 130, two 121,-one 120, the lowest age being 110. Reference is also made to the fact that net long since there ' died on Long Island a colored woman who bad lived there all her life,? who, at ' the time of her death, was indisputably 115 years old. Only, the other day Father Boehm, the oldest Methodist minister in this conntry and the world, attain ed his hundredth birthday and peeached his conference sermon. Not many weeks ago there 1 died at Pans the Count Woldeek, who was born n 1776, and had recently celebrated the 109th year of a most eventful life. ,; , ;. The Kevss also refers to the lon gevity of "old Parr," who was born in Shropshire, England, in 1483, and died in London, November 15, 1635. He was first married at the age .of 80, and had two children, and, after the death of his wife, married again when about 120 years old. He died when a little over 152 years of age. At the Centennial next year a col ored woman is to be exhibited who is now 106 yeaas old, j and who, of course, distinctly Temembers General Washington and his wife. Not much reliance, however, is to be put upon this case. At the same time there are no doubt exceptional instances of ex treme longevity, where the con stitution is origiually free from radical weakness or disease of the vital organs, and there have been ' the accompanying advantages of a healthy climate and j a regular and temperate life. . ..) , il 1 "Sb Ricked Him." Dear Dispatch . It has long been a wonder to ns how the above quoted abomination ever crept into current use in Virginia among her polite and pure-minded ladies. Of course ? if they knew the base and impure origin of this way of speaking (if we are right in our surmise on that point) they would never more let it pass their lips. But even if we are mis taken as to its supposed genesis, still the expression is vulgar. Rhetori cians tell us to te8t our; figures of Speech by picturing them to the mind's eye.' Let us try this one. Let us imagine the elegant and beantiful Miss A. (who, they say, has "kicked" Mr. B.) dismissing her unfortunate suitor by an energetic extension and forcible application to his person of one of .1 her pedal extremities. The picture is certainly not stiikinglv beautiful or becoraiugl Let the ladies refuse, reject, tiiscard, dismiss their suitors to their hearts' content, but pray let us have no more "kicking." We would, however, connive at or even applaud one more kicking exer Vise. Let this vulgar abomination be at once and forever kicked out of the domain of polite conversation. Censor. Don Carlos Playing One. - The civil war in Spain is apparent ly approaching its close. There has been a great deal of hard fighting lately, with favorable results, tor the most part, for the Alfonsists. Don Carlos has been- going through the farce of getting himself proclaimed as King, with the title of "Charles the Seventh," . but concurrent with this have been several successive de feats of his troops various sharp con tests, and his own retreat after each defeat. It is significant of the hope lessness of his case that the Pope is declared and believed to have refused to accede to the request of the Car list Junta of Guernica (Biscay) for his benediction. 1 , Spirits Turpentine W.

': The following sketch 'of the renowned man whose memory is so fondly cherished by the sons ofithe Emerald Isle, will be . - - - - ' ' ' ----- read with interest: Daniel O'Contfell was-born at Carhen, county of Kerry, Ireland, on the 6th of August, 1775. Jae was the oldest son of Morgan O'Connell, a Catholic gentleman of ancient and respectable family, who lived in seclusion on a small estate in the romantic wilds of Kerry. In 1796 Daniel O'Connell was admitted to the bar,; and soon became distinguished as an advocate. His first political speech was made in Dublin, January 13th, 1800, at a meeting of Catholics held to petition against the Sroposed legislative Union between Great iritain and Ireland. The meeting was dis persed by the military. This was the com mencement of one of the most active, bril liant and effective political careers which belong to the pages of Irish history. From that day Daniel O'Connell was in the thick est of the political fight; devoting his great energies and brilliant powers to toe Catho lic question,. and secured Catholici emanci pation. He was returned to Parliament from the county of Clare, in 1828. J On pro ceeding to take his seat he refused to take the test oaths which had been framed fir the purpose of excluding Romanists. The excitement and agitation which I followed became so great Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Wellington, the leaders of the Conservative party, became alarmed and resolved to concede emancipatibn to the Catholics. ; ,. : -;--! From that date till his death j (May 15, 1847,) Mr. O'Connell gave himself up to the cause of his country. I 1 Obtaining Goods Under False! Pre tences. : - About a week ago Elvin Arti;i, the bar ber, who lives near the corner.ojf Seventh and Bladen streets, was on his way home in the evening wlien he noticed that be was being following by a colored boy about 15 or 16 years ' of age. . Artis finally stopped and questioned the boy, who staged that he came here fromv Virginia to look.. up his mother, whom he supposed to be in Wil mington, and repiesented hiinse f to be hi destitute circumstances. - Artis took the boy home, gave him something to eat and lodging for the night The next day and for several days thereafter he continued to enjoy the bounty of his benefactor, going such errands as were required in the neigh borhood, &c. Yesterday morning, however, the fact came to light that he had been ob taining provisions and other article's from various grocery stores in that neighborhood for his own benefit and haling them charged to Artis, stating that he or his wife had sent for them. A warrant was obtained from the. Mayor for the arrest of the boy for obtaining goods under false pretences, and the swindler is doubtless ere this cogitating upon the results of his worked existence in the Guard House, - in ; m Cansbt a Tartar. We learn that a venerable but enthusias tic disciple of Isaak Walton who accom panied the excursionists to the Blackfish Grounds on Tuesday, had the hick to pluck alive shark from the briny waves. It was a youthful monster, on his first pins, that 'was thus made nolens iolens tOj change ehv menls.with6utjajiinnt!ijaarn teeth were sharp, iiif u. werj. keen - and Jiis dispositiun junyihiuijbul ioveiy. This was clearly demonstrated in this wise: The young monster of theeep wasf as a matter of course, an object of curiosity to many on board, who had never seen a shark be fore. Hence they crowded around; eager for an opportunity to get a good look at the fish. To display him to better satisfaction one more daring than the others seized the monster by ,lus! caudal.; appendage and held him up. While in this position one of; the gentleman, who ' was j engaged in examining himjather; closely, was sud denly seized, by , the ..shark, whose teeth were quite engrafted in the out;er garments of the entfiusiastic'toiler after' blackfish, which' said .' garments were A considerably rent and torn, but luckily no ,injury was inflicted upon his person. This .incident was sufficient to quiet ail 'enthusiasm - and satisfy all reasonable , curiosity, and the young reveller in Old.Ocean's jwild mean- derings was left to himself. ..X--r t f I .n Officers Eleeted.
