Vhe anniversary supper of the Wilming ton Light Infantry, which took place at the Armorv of the company last muht. was a grand affair. The tables fairly groaned under the weight of good things, and the oceasion was enlivened by the drinking of toasts and the many appropriate and ele gant responses thereto by members of the company and their invited guests, includ ing the offleers of the Cape Fear Light Artillery. And so ended the first anniversary cele bration of these two excellent companies. May the next one find the Artillery Com pany with a splendid battery. Attacked br Doc. Sunday morning, about 5 o'clock, a col ored man by the name of A. J. Nichols was on his way down the street, just south of the W: & W. R. R., when he was sud- denlyettacked by a large and vicious dog. He was" inthe "middle of the street at the time, and. the animal was lying on a pile of trash. When the dog came at him Nichols picked up a shell and threw itatbim.when he turned and ran under the fence enclos ing the premises on which he belonged, but immediately returned with a reinforce ment ' in the shape of another large dog, when the two made a simultaneous and fierce onslaught upon the man, who was weak from recent illness,' and succeeded in be&rin? him to the ttround. One of the dogs came at him with such vim and deter mination that, in attempting to seize him by the hroat, be Jbrust hie -hand into the animal's mouth. Releasing his band.wbich was somewhat bruised by the dog's tusks. the animal made for Nichol's throat, but he fortunately turned the tables upon him and got him by the throat, keeping a firm hold, as upon Ins doing so he was sat isfied would depend ; his own safety and perhaps his l.fe . Iu the meantime the other: large dog and several smaller ones were biting his legs and arms, while he shouted murder at the top of his voice.

"flat-footed'' that she shouldn't do anything of the kind, and he retired finally without having ob tained a promise from her that she would attend to the matter. Soon after he had left for his room, however, she, as a matter of course, clipped : off the superfluous inch, its fcha had been reaucsted to do. '; The. family is comprised of six female mem" bcrs, in addition; to the "good man," and it chanced that each one of the other five, who were in adjoining rooms, includ ing the mother, of our friend, beard the dispute between tbe man and wife about the pants, and after the latter had taken off the inch and retired, the old lady, desir ing to "keep peace in the family," and not knowing what her. daughter-in-law had done, cautiously slipped into the room and cut off another inch. In this way did each of the five laaics, unknown to the others, and all with . the praiseworthy ob ject of preventing any. misunderstand ing between the married couple, clip an inch from the legs of the gentleman's trowser. The following morning all un. conscious of what had taken place! during . the night, he rolled up the pants in a piece of paper and took them to his tailor to be shortened to the detired length. Upon a hasty fiance the latter ventured the opinion that they were already rather short ; but the owner was too well posted on that score and insisted that they were fully an inch too long. Tbe tailor had no more to say, and our friend retired. On the following Satur day he called for the pants and took them home, and the j next morning, when he come to put himself inside of them, he was supremely disgusted at finding that the legs reached only a trifle below his knees. "In other words, they had been altered to the fashion of a century ago, when knee- breeches were in vogue. He straightway accused his tailor of having ruined his pants, and his indignation was expressed in language anything but mild. His wife heard him and came to the rescue of the Knight of the Shears, explaining that she had taken an inch from each of the legs; and her ac knowledgment was followed by that of each of the other five ladies, when it was discovered that,! altogether, the legs had ac tually been shortened to the extent of seven incite!

' EXTRACT FROM THE REPORT: Our Bishops tell us of the vast extent and urgent needs of the field and of the bright promise it gives of reward to the faithful laborers, but they tell us of the ex ceeding fewness of the laborers and of the scarcity of candidates for this holy service, and of the utter inadequacy of the pecuni ary means put atllhefr disposaL Brethren of the clergy and the laity we need first of all a tuner gut of the Holy Spirit in tho breast of each one of usto inflame our love to Christ and our self-denying zeal for His kingdom and His glory, and giving to Him as His Holy Spirit directs us in His word. It is re markable and must have'deeply impressed me tjonvention tnat our Sisnops,in hunting out the remedy for the extreme destitution and pressing needs of this great missionary diocese, both of them solemnly charged us to follow the scriptural mode of giving to the Lord, and that at the very, least a tithe of all our income should be thus appropria ted. The words of our Bishops on this vi tal point, and about the whole subject of tbe great and urgent needs of our Diocese and the mode of supplying these needs, are so weighty we close with the following re solution : Besolved. That the portions of the ad dresses of our Bishops concerning the great spiritual destitution of the Diocese and the remedy for it be, with their ap proval and under their direction, suitably printed separately from the journal and sent to all tbe clergy, and that they be re quested to read these extracts to their con gregations and circulate them among their: congregations. - Ibis resolution was unanimously adoDt- ed. . . - , Rev Mr. Forbes reported that the com mittee on the Division of the Diocese have nothing further to report and ask to be dis charged.
