Finch, one of North Caroli na's sons, left his house, No. 9 West 2 1st street, of this city, for a walk, since which lime nothing has been seen or heard of him. He left, in a dying condition, his wife, a stranger without money or friends. Dr. Frank M. Deems, another North Carolinian, found her in this state, and kindly and generously administered to her wants, Supplying her witti a tinrse and giving her his professional ser vices, and through his influence has had her placed in St. Vincent's Ho tel a Catholic institution in charge of tlic Sisters of Chanty- where she has every comfort that such a place can supply.

J. Guion. '"lie xlord Orphan Asylum. Raleigh Observer. This noble charity calls aloud for help, and unless it receives aid from some quarter speedily the little orphans will actually be in want of food. In consequence of the falling off in the contributions within the pest two or three months the Super intendent was forced to take a wagon load of the orphans and go through the country giving concerts with the hope of raising funds sufficient to meet bread and meat contingencies. With what success he is meeting with we are not advised, but we do know that since he left some of the teachers, if not all, have advanced to the Asy lum every cent of their own money, and three days ago there was only $5 50 in the Treasury, and the oil and flour were out. There never was a time when the Asylum was as much in need of assistance as at present, and if you have anything to give, send it on ai once. A barrel of ker osene oil and a barrel of flour would be very acceptable just now. If you don't feel able to give as much as that, a dollar or two towards it would help wonderfully.

Will Get an Engine. Tbe young gentlemen, alluded to in our last as having determined to get up a new hook and ladder company, request us to say that they have since been advised by Col.

Sprunt, Her Captain and Crew Timely Suggestions, dec. There can hardly be a doubt lingering in the mind of any one conversant with the facts that the missing pilot boat Mary K Sprunt went down in the late severe gale or cyclone, one of , the most terrific that has even visited our coast, and that Captain Dosher and his four companions found a watery grave amid the angry billows. The Timmons and the Sprunt left Smithville on Wednesday morning and the last seen of the latter by the former was on Thursday eve ning, before tho great storm that raged so fearfully the following day had fairly com menced, making nearly two weeks since her disappearance. As we have heretofore stated, there were five persons on the ill-fated boat. Charles Dosher, who was in command, and who was a son of Mr. Charles Dosher, Sr., was about 25 years of age and leaves a wife and one child. Thomas B. Grissom was about 35 or 40 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. Christopher Pin ner was aged about 25 years and leaves a wife, but no children. Robert Walker was aged about 24 or 25 years and leaves a wife, but no children. Florence C. Gillespie, who has not long been a resident of Smitbfield, leaves no family, we under stand. Messrs. Pinner and Walker married sisters of Captain Dosher ; so Mr. Charles Dosher, Sr., loses by tbis sad calamity, a son and two sons-in-law. The families of the unfortunate men were all, we under stand, dependent upon them for their sup port, and Mr. Grissom also leaves an aged mother, as well as wife, who looked to him as her only earthly help. The Mary K. Sprunt registered about twenty-five tons, was valued at about $2,500 or $3,000, and was owned by the Messrs. Dosher, Walker and Pinner. We cordially endorse the suggestions contained in the following communication from Dr. Curtis, and hope they will meet with a cheerful response from our citizens : Smtthoille, April 23, 1877. . Mr. Editor: There seems to be little doubt that the pilot boat Mary K. Sprunt is lost witb all board. Four pilots have found a watery grave, in the discharge of the perilous duty of their profession, and with their lives has also gone all the property of which they were possessed.. Pour helpless widows, some or them with young chil dren, are left behind to mourn their loss. Is it not well for those who live, and are prospering, in callings which do not involve them in constant danger and hardship, to hub oi tae prooawe destitution of these lJoSi 01 LH) you not think it Well to suggest ia your paper j which Circulates SO widely, and is read by so many happy firesides, the propriety of getting tip a purse for the ben efit of those poor people, who" know hot where to turn for the necessaries of life? The merchants and others in your city are generous, and it has but to be suggested to be accomplished. And to') those who con tribute to this worthy object it will be a comfort, when the tempest howls and the waves dash, to think that out of their abun dance they have remembered the poor and friendless. To the pilots themselves, whose profes sion is a hard and unremunerative one, it will give renewed vigor and faithfulness to see that the wives and children of these unfortunate ones are not left to suffer. Very truly yours, &c, W. G. Curtis. J e wlsb Lec t n r em . Rev. Dr. E. B.M. Browne, a learned and eloquent Jewish Rabbi, of Illinois, will de liver two celebrated lectures here during the present week, at the Opera House, one on Wednesday night and another on Thurs day night. His subject on Wednesday eve ning, April 25th, will be "The Talmud, its Ethics and Literary Beauty," and on Thurs day evening, the 26th, "The Crucifixion and the Jews, or, Have the Jews Actually Crucified Jesus of Nazareth." One half of the net proceeds of these lectures are to be donated to the Jewish Orphan Asylum Fund. The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal has the following in reference to one of Dr. Browne's lectures: "The lecture of Rev. E. B. M. Browne, at Standard Club Hall last night, was at tended by a very refined and critical au dience. The eloquent lecturer chose for his subject, "The Talmud, its Ethics and Literary Beauties," and delivered one of the most entertaining and instructive dis courses ever heard in Montgomery. Dr; Browne has many warm admirers in this city, who appreciate bis talent, his richly stored mind, and his always instructive ad dresses. They enjoyed a rare literary trea t last night one which is but seldom afford ed, and the learned doctor can rest assured that his eloquence charmed his hearers." A Handsome Donation. Messrs. D. Appleton & Co., the great publishing house of New York city, in con nection with Rev. H. W. Bellows and Dr. C. R. Agnew, have presented to Miss Amy M, Bradley, for the use of the Tileston Nor mal School, a copy of Appleton's Encyclo pedia in sixteen volumes, handsomely bound in calf skin. This valuable work, costing $112, was accompanied by a note from Rev. H. W. Bellows, stating that one half the cost was borne by the Messrs. Ap pleton and the other half by Dr. C. R. Ag new aad himself, who embraced this me thod of testifying their appreciation of Miss Bradley's long and honorable labors in the cause of humanity. Magistrate's court. Wm. Mallett, Sr., was arraigned before Justice Gardner, yesterday afternoon, on the charge of assault and battery on the person of his wife, and also on a peace warrant sworn out by his "better half." In the first named case defendant was or dered to pay a fine of $25 and tbe costs.and in tbe matter of tbe peace warrant he was required to give security ip the sum of $100 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, and to keep the peace. i a u.
