The mm of 12,000 was donated to the asy lums for the next year, and an effort was put on foot to secure an endow ment fund for them. The Superin tendent was empowered to make such arrangements as might best be effect ed f of the sending to school four of the orphans each year, several schools in the State having offered to educate Koiue of these children, the asylum furnishing them clothing and book. The discussion upon this subject elicited the fact from Mr. Mills that already several of the most intelligent children from the Oxford Asylum were being educated at different schools, and this, too, without any cost to the Asylum, frieuds coming forward to their help arid defraying all costs other than tfaeiuition by the schools. Hts object is to fit these in telligent children as far as possible to nil other positions than that of ser- ants. . f be installation oUhe newly eUct d officers took.-place at a late hour last night,r " , The Lodge will probably adjotiru sine die this evening.

Mr. M. immediately seized the lamp with the intention of throw ing it into the street, but was compelled to drop it before leaching the door in order to save his hands from beiDg severely burned. Another party then gave the flaming object a kick, sending it whirliDg upon the side walk, where it struck a colored youth who was in the act of passing, setting fire to his clothing. The fire.was quickly extinguish ed, however, aud the boy suffered but little inconvenience fronTthe accident, while the excitement which existed in the vicinity for a few minutes rapidly subsided. Stealing shawl. Thursday afternoon some person eutered the grocery store of jir.

An officer was put upon the track and niiaily traced the missing article to "Faddj'a Hollow," where a colored ditjiumer by the name of Jack (who scorns the appendage of a sir name) had offered it for sale to several parlies, who had wisely refused to pur chase.

WILMINGTON, From Wilmington. Under this head we find in the last Bibli cal Recorder the following letter from this place, under date of Nov. 24th, over the signature of Rev. J. B. Taylor, Pastor of the First Baptist Church : The annual meeting of the mi-sionary society of our Sunday-school was heldon last .Lord s afternoon. A large congrega tion was in attendance on the exercises. After singing, reading Scriptures and prayer, the annual report was read by the Secretary. From this report it appears that during the past year $18u has been raised by the members of the society. During the year letters were received by the Corre sponding becretary from Miss .Lottie Moon and our missionary at Rome. The follow ing officers were elected for the ensuing year: President. W. A. French. VicePrea. jGeorge Sloan. ikeretary. J. C. Stevenson. Ireamrer.i. A. Bryan. Short addresses were delivered by breth ren B. F. Mitchell, W. A. French, J. C. btevenson and the pastor. Brethren were then appointed to prepare reports and short talks for the next monthly meeting, and . ar rangements made to supply all the mem bers with mite boxes. My reception here by the church and community has been most gratifying, and I have been made to feel at home. The membership seems united and disposed to be active for the Master. 1 he congrega tions on Lord's days are excellent, and the attendance at our weekly prayer-meetings, as well as the young men's prayer meeting, is increasing. The Sunday School is flour ishing. Some of the brethren aud sisters have a mission Sunday School iu the north ern part of the city which is held in the afternoon. It has been my privilege for two Sunday nights to administer the ordi nance of baptism. Wherever I go in the community, 1 hear Bio. Hiden most affec tionately and appreciatively spoken of.

The first car load of the wood generously donated to the purposes of tbe Benevolent Society has arrived. The President, Mrs. Kennedy, requests the visitors north of Market street to send applicants for charity to her for orders, in every case. In this connection it may be well to saj-, that in some cases the philanthropy of those who are disposed to assist the needy is mis placed and their benevolent intentions not carried out on account of their donations being placed in irresponsible hands. Among the many, also, who represent themselves as in destitute circumstances, there are some who are really not worthy the assist ance they crave, and charity bestowed upon such is like casting pearls before swine. Some again make the asking of alms a pro fession and accumulate money by the busines-t, while there are others who, if given a sum of money to buy them a peck of meal or a load of wood for themselves and families, will hasten to the first bar-room and spend it for whiskey. The only safe and strictly relia ble means of reaching and benefitting the really needy and destitute.of which there are many in the community, is, therefore, to place the donations for charitable purposes into the hands of the Ladies' Benevolent Society, the members of which are constant ly on the lookout for cases deserving as sistance. Marine luielligeuce. We learn from the Is or folk Virginian that the British Barque Edwin, reported ashore about thirteeu miles north of Hatle raa a few days since, now lies well on the beach and partly filled with water, but in comparatively good condition.

Ramsey, Esq., State Lecturer of the Independent Order of Good Temp lars of this State, who was in our city last night, informs us that he had a ; delightful meeting at Whiteville Wednesday evening.

He informs us that the order is in a flourishing condition there, many of the most influential tfnd prominent citizens being connected with it.

Prompt Action of the Official Ar ret or the Thieve W hat a Few Determined Bleu Can Do, &c, dec. Iu our last issue we mentioned the fact that Sheriff Manning had been called upon for fourteen handcuffs, and now we are en abled to inform our readers the use to which they were to be applied. On Thursday of last week the local freight train on the W., C. & K. R, R., which left this city that morning, was made the victim of a band of robbers, who succeeded in breaking open some of the cars during a Stoppage at one of the stations between Mars Bluff and Marion, S. C, and then threw out packages of goods, &c, while the train was slowly making its way over a trestle. The thieves then jumped off them selves and made good their escape. . Immediately upon the discovery of the robbery the facts were dispatched to the officials of the road here, who took prompt steps towards ferreting out the thieves and bringing them to justice. With this ob ject in view a special agent of the road was at once summoned and put to work, who succeeded in tracking the thieves, all of whom were found to be colored, to a point known as the Gibson plantation, about one and a half miles south of the Pee Dee River, where the gang were found to' be located. The necessary evidence of the identity of the party was secured, when the proper warrants were issued for the ar rest and detention of the thieves and placed in the a iuits of certaiu officers of the law. Having proceeded thus far in the matter, it was found necessary to procure assistance other than that which could be had in the neighborhood of where the thieves were located in order to effect their capture, as they were known to have many sympathiz ers among their own color, and the few whites were averse to incurriegthe displeas ure which their connection with any effort to effect the arrest of the robbers would naturally arouse against them. The U'.mcst caution, too, was necessary in order to prevent an inkling of the intended raid f.oai reaching the ears of the robbers. The special agent therefore applied to the offi cials here for assistance, and Wednesday evening - a special train left Wilmington with a force of about twenty-flve resolute and determined men, made up of employes in the shops and volunteers from the city, who were armed, equipped and "eager for the fray." About 12 o'clock the same night the train stopped at a place known as White House Road, a convenient base for opera tions, and the party quietly sallied forth, walking about a mile and a half, when they reached a settlement composed of about a half dozen houses, in which the party they were in search of were known to live. The houses were immediately surrounded and the alleged thieves, fourteen in num ber, were captured. The following from Capt. Kline, Assistant Superintendent of the road, announced the result to the ex pectant officials here: iLvRiox, S. C, Dec. 9, 1875. James Anderson, General Superintendent : After a very rough night, with the faith ful and prompt action of every man, suc ceeded in capturing fourteen (14) negroes with remnants of nearly every thing stolen from No. 5 train last Thursday. Plans all worked like a charm. The Sheriff request ed that I would let the men guard the prisoners to tbe jail, lhcy are jaded and hunerv; will give them breakfast and go into Wilmington ahcad-or immediately be hind No. 2 train this P. M. Theo. D. Elcie, Assistant Superintendent. The energy, tact and promptitude dis played by all concerned in the detection and capture of this band of thieves, which was rapidly increasing Jn proportions and fast becoming a terror to the people for mile saround, cannot be too highly esti mated. Attempted Bobbery. Wednesday night, about 10 o'clock, an attempt was made to rob the residence on the northeast corner of Third and Chesnmt streets. A lady of the house, the gentlemen being abseat, heard a' person walking and stumbling ; about in the basement and at first thought it was some one belonging on the premises. She discovered her mistake, however, and though badly frightened had the presence of mind to remain quiet while she contrived without attracting the atten tion of tbe would-be-thief to summon assist ance from the station house near at hand. Sergeant Geo. H. Adams and officer J. M. Nelson responded, and upon their arrival found two of the. doors open, which were known to have been closed and fastened, but a diligent search which was participated in by a genllemenoMhe house, who had in the meantime returned, failed to discover the presence of the marauder who had ev idently become, alarmed, and beat a hasty retreat. Nothing was missed from, the premises, as the thief had no opportunity to carry out his purpose tbforj b scented the danger which threatened his own per sonal safety. Military Ball. , A grand military ball, under tbe auspices of the Cape Fear Light Artillery Company, will take place at City Hall to-night. The arrangements have been such as to guaran tee one of the most delightful occasions of the sort that has occurred In Wilmington for a long time, which fact, together with, the knowledge that the proceeds will be de voted to completing' the uniforming and equipping of thor company, - will doubtless have the effect of drawing together alarge crowd. - ' ; ' : In this connection we , would state that Mr. W. M. Collins will have charge' of the refreshment department, which -will be ample and satisfactory both , as . to quality and quantity, and at city prices. - B19TBKN IU EDIO A I. ASSOCIATION. i ' ' ; Third Day. Association came to order according to appointment, the President in the chain On motion of Dr. Batch well, the resolu tion to amend the Constitution in such way as to provide for annual in place of semi annual meetings, introduced at the . last regular meeting and laid over under the rule, was taken up and adopted. A preamble and resolution presented, by Dr. Prank Duffy : were adopted, after dis-. cussion, as follows: : ' ; Whereas, We recognize anatomy astbe basis of medicine and surgery, and desire in every proper manner to promote a prac tical Knowledge or it; . ... ; Resolved, That a committee be appointed, of which the President is chairman, to pe tition the Legislature to legalize the dissec tion of the bodies of criminals and the un claimed bodies of paupers dying in public charge. - The' President" appointed Drs. Duffy, Satchwell, Wood, Ennett and Faison on said committee. The following preamble and resolution were introduced by Dr. ' Satchwell and adopted: " Whereas, In the marvelous advance of science the subject of hereditary influence as bearing upon the moral nature as well as upon the physical and mental diseases of man is more than ever one of absorbing and growing importance to the physician as well as to the parent, the legislator, the philan thropist and the patriot and statesman, and it is extremely important to have practical facts and scientific truths spread through out the whole community in relation to this great subject; therefore Resolved, That a committee of three, to which our member Dr. James F. Long of Newbern shall belong, be appointed by tbe President to report upon this subject at our next regular meeting. A proposition being maue to appoint Dr. DeRosset on this committee, he objected, and it being proposed to allow him instead to serve on the committee to memorialize the Legislature for a State Board of Health, that gentleman stated his preference to do so, and embraced the opportunity to speak, favorably of the work contemplated by both committees, and especially of the project to establish a State Board of. Health, speci fying the advantages to be derived Ihere from by the profession and the community in the accumulation of medical statistics, the indication of unhealthy localities, with remedies; tbe prevention of the spread of disease, the detection of adulterations of drugs and articles of food, eta, etc. Dr. J. H. Bellamy of this city being in the room as a spectator was invited to add from tbe results of his extensive experience a contribution to the discussion on the sub-. ject of diphtheria. The Doctor complied with- the general request, and presented a mass of facts of exceeding interest to the profession. His experience corroborated that of some or the gentlemen who had preceded him in vari ous particulars, Lut presented also facts not previously mentioned, of which we can speak of but one or two. In diagnosticat ing the disease he found it useful to make the distinction between diphtheria and aphthous and other sore throats that ia the latter case the disease consisted in a deposit upon the mucous surface, while in the former it was an eating into and destruc tion of the membrane itself. He agreed that it was unquestionably a blood disease, and that the intensity of the poisonous ac tion increased with tbe number of patients in a room, etc., and cited cases occurring under such singular and widely different local influences that it seemed to him haz ardous to assign to it any specific cause. There was usually noticeable a stage of in vasion in each case taken in that stage the case very often yielded to tonic treat ment with quinia, tincture chloride of iron, external application of salt bacon, etc., etc., but if allowed to progress from this stage without treatment and assume the malig nant type, lie thought the patient never re covered. The necessity of promptness in this disease could not be too much enforced. He also mentioned having seen cases where the diphtheritic affection was not confined to the head and throat, but extended to the coatings of the stomach, the urethra, and he believed to the entire mucous tissues of the patient On motion of Dr. Satchwell, Dr. Bellamy was requested to commit .his remarks to" paper .for publication with the proceedings . Dr. DeRosset made some interesting re marks on the metuods of : diagnosticating diphtheria by use of the microscope. - Queries and responses with some in formal conversation on the subject fol lowed, when Dr. Robinson called on Dr. Geo. II. Thomas of this city to take the floor, but the latter excused himself. 1 . : The Committee on Nominations reported, recommending the "admission of Drs. Jas. F. Newell of Pender and J. H. Bellamy of Ibis city to membership.
