Burned to Deatb.
Sarah Ann Graham, a little colored child
about 8 years of age, daughter of one Han
nah Jane Graham, living at what is known
as Quince's Mill, about four miles northeast
of this city, was accidentally burhed to
aeath on Wednesday afternoon of last week.
The mother of the child was absent from
home at the lime, while tbe grandfather and
grandmother, in whose care the children
had been left, were somewhere on the lot.
when they discovered that something was
wrong at the house. Hurriedly repairing
thither, the grandmother, who was first on
ine spot, discovered the child on the floor
with its clothes nearly burned from its body
She removed what remained as quickly as
possible, but soon found that the child was
already beyond the reach of earthly help.
lhe grandfather states that only a handfu
of embers were left in the fire-place, and it
is supposed the children replenished the fire
after the oldxouple left the house. S. Van-
Amringe, Esq., as Special Coroner, was to
have held an inquest over tbe remains of
the child yesterday afternoon.
Died of Hli Wounds Tbe luqueat.
We regret to learn that Mr. Benjamin
Garrett, who was so dangerously wounded
by a shot-gun in the hands of Mr. J. F.
Everett, at or near his own store, 7 miles
below this city, on Christmas day, a full
account of which appeared in Tuesday's
Star, died from hia wounds on Tuesday
evening, about 7 o'clock. S. VanAmringe,
Esq., who, in consequence of the illness of
Coroner Hewlett,had been appointed special
coroner for the purpose,' went down to
Middle Sound yesterday morning to hold
an inquest over the body, but owing to the
number of witnesses to be summoned and
for other reasons it was deemed advisable
to postpone the inquest until Saturday at
10 o'clock, when it will be held in the
grand jury room at the court house.
The following comprise the jury sum
moned for the purpose: C. H. Strode.

F. Alexander. W. N. Shepard. Isam
Thompson, Thos. Shepard, Henry Shepard,
James Smith, E. H. Rue, I. L. Piver, Jacob
Lowrey. -
Pending the investigation Mr. Everett
will retain his liberty on the bail of $1,000
already given for his appearance on Satur
day, i
unfr'"u""
mayor's Court.
The following cases were disposed of
yesterday morning:
David Mallett, charged with drawing a
pistol on his father, cursing him, &c.,
was ordered to pay. a fine of $20 and cost 3,
which was afterwards, on account of some
threatening expressions used by defendant
in the Court room, increased to $50 and
costs. From this decision defendant took
an appeal to the Superior Court and was
ordered to give a justified bond in the sum
of $250 for his appearance. The father
then made application for a peace warrant,
fearing that his son would kilThim, and the.
latter was thereupon required to enter into
an additional justified bond of $250 for his
appearance at the next term of the Superi
or Court and to keep the peace towards his
father and all other good citizens.
Salem Beasly, charged with disorderly
conduct This case had been continued
over for three days on account of the ab
sence of the prosecuting witness, and yes
terday it was disposed of, the prosecutor,
one W. H. Jones, being ordered to pay the
costs.
Direct Importation.
We sec it announced that the Navassa
Guano Company of this city has already
received eight schooner leads, aggregating
nearly 3,000 tons, of Navassa phosphate,
to be manipulated and prepared for the
crops of 1876,;and three cargoes, 532 tons)
genuine Leopoldshall kainit (containing
potash) from Germany, all being direct im
portations into this port Some 2,000 tons
of various salts and animal matters capable
of yielding ammonia and assimilable nitro
gen when combined with the crude phos
phate and sulphuric acid have also been
received, together with 520 tons Sicilian
sulphur for making the acid. These things
seem to indicate a good prospective demand
for the" Navassa fertilizers, and the reputa
tion they have heretofore established, with
past experience, would certainly seem to
warrant the expectation of a busy season
and increased sales.
IVlaiClatraie' Court.
Charles Johnson was arraigned before
Justice VanAmringe. yesterday, charged
with fighting. Defendant submitted the
case and was discharged on the payment
of costs.
Eliza Stafford was arraigned before Jus
tice Cassidey, charged with, selling liquor
without a license. Judgment suspended
on the payment of costs.
Improvement.
Two fine brick buildings, both on Dock
street, one being between, Front and Second
and the other bet wee a Front and Water
streets, are approaching completion. The
former is to be used by Us owners, Messrs.
Henry Haar and B. H. J. Ahrens, as an ice
house, and the latter, which is the property
of Mr. W. P. Oldham, will be used as a
grain mill.
Wor Lee.
We are requested to extend an invitation
to all ladies and gentlemen who feel an in
terest in the Lee Mausoleum entertainment,
to meet at the Library Rooms this after
noon at 3 o'clock. It is hoped there will
be a large attendance.
Now make those New Year re
solves again which you broke early (say on
the 1st of January) in. the current year.
Better luck next time perhaps.
WILMINGTON,
INDUSTRIAL FAIR EXPOSITION
Tblrd Day.
,The streets in the vicinity of the Fair
Grounds were crowded at an early hour
yesterday morn Lug, as usual, while there
were many also inside the grounds and in
the hall. The first thing in order was an
exhibition by the deaf and dumb and the
blind, which was pronounced on all sides
to be very entertaining, the children dis
playing remarkable proficiency and reflect
ing much credit upon their instructois.
t Our reporter visited the various depart
ments and noticed the following articles in
addition to those already mentioned :

BASE BALL.
A base ball contest took place on Orange,
between Sixth and Seventh streets, between
the Sumner Club, Capt Henry Nash, and
a picked nine, Capt. Richard Stove. The
scorers were Jas. E. King and W. H. Howe.
The picked nine scored C and the Sum.
ner's 5.
TOURNAMENT.
The important feature of the day was the
Tournament, which took place on Eighth,
between Market and Princess streets. A
number of knights in appropriate costume
entered, and some very fair riding was done.
It was estimated that there were between
two and three thousand people on the
grounds during the progress of tbe tourna
ment. The Tournament Ball was to take place
at City Hall last night
In addition to our city Rose Bud Band
the Fayetteville and Charlotte bands were
present on the grounds during the day and
discoursed very excellent music.
THE FIREMEN.
We should have mentioned in our last
that a spirited contest took, place Tuesday
afternoon between the Cape Fear S. F. E.
Company, of this city, and the Neptune
Company, of Charlotte. The Wilmington
boys got the advantage at tbe start, but lost
it by an accident, and the result was that
the Neptunes were declared the victors.
Col. Roger Moore, Chief of the Fire Depart
ment, who (by invitation), delivered the
prize of $7 50 in gold to the winning com
pany, took occasion in the course of bis
remarks to pay a very flattering compli
ment to the colored firemen, and also to the
colored people generally for the success
which has attended their first grand ex
position, for which, he said, they were
deserving of much credit
The Fair will continue to-day.
Tblevery.
The burglars seem to be operating upon
a better class of houses now than they did
during the summer. They want money,
and at this season they find all the well-to-
do citizens "at home. If unsuccessful in
getting money by their forays they will
doubtless soon be in want of provisions,
etc., and then look out for the usual winter
raid on the stores. If any remedy for such
a state of affairs, past, present and pros
pective exists, we think it must be found
in Christian resignation, for revolvers and
double-locked doors and windows seem to
be no obstacles to the enterprising opera
tors, and of police we are almost destitute.
Can the telegraph offer any relief? It
seems to have proved effectual elsewhere.
