In New York grain also advanced, afid the market was much excited. Terrible Tornado at Raleigh. The Raleigh papers of Tuesday contain very long aceounts of a fear ful tornado that passed over and through that place last Sunday after noou, about 2:30 o'clock. We have not space for the full account pub hshed in- either the News or the Ob server. The former says: "With such rapidity did the dense, black cloud come seething and boil ing over the city that the tone of the low, moaning wind which immediate ly preceded it was lost almost by the time it was heard in the terrific din of heaven's artillery. It seemed but a moment. The sky had been over cast all day, it is true, but these clouds were regarded as merely the precur sor of an April shower. Suddenly the heavens darkened deeply black; the wind sighed among the trees, and gXgal drops of rain began to fall. In an instant, before the rain-drops had fairly stained the door-steps, a ter rific cyclone swept with one grand surge over the face of the city and the work was done. Nothing was heard save the mighty roar of the winds and the heavy dash of the hail upon the window-panes, and ere one could recover from the surprise of the first shock, the elements were at rest. The fnll force of the hurricane could not have lasted more than two min utes, and then a few drops of rain succeeded; but ere the last echoes of the storm had died away doors were opened and windows were raised, and a moment later the sun emerged from the clouds and smiled upon the wreck which was on every hand. It was but a little while ere the streets were filled with people anx ious to learn the extent and effects of the storm. Parts of the city pre sented a 6cene similar to that of a battle-field save that the dead bodies were not there. The streets were filled with trees and limbs of trees, with an occasional section of tin from thcToof of a house ; barrels, kegs, boxes, and signs, driven hither and thither by the force of the wind, were lying about in a promiscuous mass, and the city was a scene of confusion. . Nearly all steps bent toward Capi tol square, where a spectacle sad in deed was presented. Eleven of the stateliest and most venerable of the grand old trees, which go to make that spot the loveliest in this city, were prostrate, the roots of some of them torn from the earth as by a giant's grasp, while others still were wrenched, the trunk from the roots, and laid low upon the ground. Three of the trees lapped over the well house, crushing it by their weight. The loveliest and most heavily shaded part of the grounds, the southeastern corner, was utterly aisngured Dy toe destruction of six or more of the largest trees. The most beautiful tree in the grounds, the large and symetrical sugar maple, which stood near the eastern gate, tea a victim to the storm, being crushed and splintered by a large oak which fell upon it. We turn to. the Observer's account. The storm came from the South. "A large woodshed in LenaEarles' -m mm i 1 l vara was nrteci up ana precipiiaiea with great force against the dwelling; four tenement houses belonging to Judge Fowle were blowu over and smashed to atoms; another tenement house with a sick colored woman in it was broken in by the fall of a huge tree across it, and though the bed upon-which she laid was broken to pieces, she escaped uninjured. A number of other houses in this section were toppled over, as also nearly all the fences, shrubberv, shade and fruit trees. On Fayetteville street, south- of the Governor's palace, the effects or tne storm were fearful to behold. The grist mill of Messrs W. H. & R. S. Tuoker was partially blown away; three tenement houses belonging to John Caswell upset and entirely wrecked; the residence of John Malone, colored, fell in. and himself and wife, Nancy, were cov ered up in the debris; he was slightly ana nis wire seriously, if not fatally injured; his son Edwin and a boy by the name of John Ross in the same building sustained severe and painful injuries. The house of Washington Kelly, colored, in the same neighbor- nooa shared the same fate; he es caped, bnt his wife was considerably bruised. A horse erraziner in an oDen field was taken bodily up and thrown into a deep railroad cut several yards aistant, breaking a leg. The destruc tion of trees, fences, vegetables and poultry was very heavy in this section. Next, on Fayetteville street, the storm visited the old Manly mansion and grove; a large tree fell against the residence, and crushing through annihilated the bed which had only been vacated a few seconds before by the venerable Mrs. Manly, who was confined to her room by sickness. It was indeed a narrow escape from a most horrible death. The buildings and grounds weae considerably dam aged. Several large trees in the grove adjoining the Governor's man sion were blowu up. Next in order was the destruction of several of the trees that adorn the beautiful yard of Hon. K. P. Battle. No other damage in this section except the general destruction of gardens, fences and poultry. The two chimneys on the Court bouse came down with a mighty crash. Several windows in the Citi zens' Bank building on the third and fourth floors crushed in; the market house unroofed and the tin cover ing blown over to the store tops on Exchange Place. The large Briggs building, on the opposite side of the street, was par tially unroofed and the tin in large, solid pieces, carried as far as the Raleigh National Bank. The water poured in from the top to the State Museum below, but we are glad to state that through the efforts of Col. L. L. Polk and a few volunteers, nothing in this department' was in jured. The roof of A. Creech's store was slightly injured and a few goods on the third floor damaged by water before the leak could be stopped. R. B. Andrews' clothing store, the only six-story building in the city, was also unroofed, but there were no goods on the sixth floor, and the loss is confined to the injury to the roof only." We will give other partic nlars in our next. Spirits Turpentine. The Methodist revival at Shelby still continues. The Concord Methodists are to have a necktie party. Danbury is very happy; it is to have a wheel-barrow contest. The hog cholera is prevailing at Rockingham, Richmond county. Raleigh loses an income of $60,- 000 by the removal of the troops.

The idea of a fellow who plays billiards having time to read anything. Reading ain't his cue. Either the billiards or books will be a lonesome. j j Charlotte Democrat : We stated some time ago that the city authorities had asked the opinion of J. H. Wilson & Son as to the liability of the. city to pay $20,000 of city bonds held by the Atlantic, Ten nessee & Ohio Railroad Company. We learn that the opinion is adverse to the lia bility of the city. There is about eighteen years interest due on the bonds. News : Yesterday the revenue officers here came down on the establish ment of L. Leopold, tobacconist, Fayette ville street, like wolves upon the fold. He was charged with selling unstamped cigars and reusing stamped boxes. He was ar raigned before United States Commissioner Shaffer, who bound him over to the United States Circuit Court in the sum of $0,000. Monroe Express: A sad acci dent occurred in the Mt. Prospect neigh borhood, in this county, on last Wednes day. Mrs. Fiocher, wife of John M. Fincber, fired an old stump, some ten or twelve feet high, in the field in which Mr. Fincher was at work, which burned down and fell on their little son, aged about six years, irom the enects ot which he aiea in a snort time. Spirit of the South: Three- fourths of our patrons being Democrats of the "straitest sect," and the National Ad ministration having been virtually surren dered to the Democracy, it is our purpose in future to do all in our power to make the Spirit far more acceptable to our Demo cratic friends and patrons than it has here tofore been, and those who do not like our new departure can "lump it." Henceforth the Spirit of the South will be independent indeed and in truth. Our respected contemporary, the Concord Register invites the Stab to come and see its growing "city," and says: "The Star will find that Wilmington will have to gear up a fast team, to Keep in sight of us, and we are a model of morality, notwithstanding they sometimes endeavor to credit us with chicken fighting and bull baiting. Concord is bound to lead in spirituality, business enterprize, and mo rality, and, come and see us, and you will look, and wonder, and admire." NEW ADVKRTISE.TlESr.S. Mcnson & Co Flannel suits. O.

We hope they will en joy their visit to our "city by the sea." Left for Europe. Alex. Sprunt, Esq., British Vice Consul for this port, left yesterday morning for a trip to Europe. During his absence Mr. James Sprunt will be Acting Consul. We wish Mr. Sprunt a pleasant voyage and a safe return. Tbe Excursion Yesterday. A goodly number participated in the ex cursion to Smithville yesterday on tbe steamer Waccamaw, and we are glad to learn that it was greatly enjoyed, the ex cursionists suffering little or no .inconveni ence from the coolness of the weather, as many had feared would be the case. All with whom we have conversed on the sub ject Were much pleased with the trip. U. S. District Court. Upon the assembling of this Court yes terday morning the following list of Grand Jurors was drawn : Wm. Watter8, Foreman, Alfred Howe, John E. Crow, Geo. W. Betta, J. H. Car- raway, Samuel Northrop, John W. St. George, James C. Grimes, Lawson K. Skip per, JPeter Kourk, John M. Mintz, hi. a. Gerner, John W. Cox, F. A. Newberry, Thos. S. Watson, Libens Cooper, Jas. F. Shine, John Gore, George L. Schutte. The day was consumed in argument of counsel as to the jurisdiction of the Court in the admiralty case of the Wilmington Railway Bridge Company vs. the Steam-tug Alpha, the respondents taking the position that the United States Court had no juris diction in the case, inasmuch as a bridge is not a floating structure, being real estate and hence not subject to the admiralty laws. The argument was concluded yesterday evening, Judge Brooks reserving his deci sion until this morning. The suit in question is brought by the Company to recover $1,600 damages for injury sustained by one of the Company's bridges through a collision while the Alpha was towing the Schr. Annie E. Barker to the Navassa Guano Works some time last year. An Excitlug Fox Chase. Two of our city sportsmen, accompanied by sixteen dogs, left here yesterday morn ing, about twenty-five minutes to 3 o clock. and just as day was breaking, near the Morris place, in the neighborhood of Bar- num's Creek, some five or six miles below this city, they routed a sly old fox, and then ensued one of the most exciting chases, one of the gentlemen informs us, that he has witnessed or engaged in within his twenty years' experience in foxhunting. The chase continued for about six hours, during which time Reynard frequently doubled on his pursuers, leading them in various directions and at one time ap proaching within a short distance of Mc- Ilbenny's Mill, near the city limits. With the exception of about a half mile, when the sly brute took to a fence and thus baf fled the scent of the dogs, causing them to lose the trail, which they afterwards re gained, the chase was an unbroken one. and it is estimated that they travelled over about fifty miles of ground during the time. They captured the fox, but for once our two sporting friends were willing to acknowledge that they had quite a suffi ciency of fox hunting for one day. mortuary Report. For the four months commencing with the 1st of January and ending with the 30th of March only 19 interments are re ported for Oakdale Cemetery, and of this number one was a still-born infant aud one was brought here from another, place for burial. Two of the parlies were aged 76 years, three G years, and the remainder as follows: 1, 2, 3, 17, 40, 45, 48, 49, 50, 53, 68. 71. 72. 73. and the rest not stated.

Thus wo have a total of really only nine teen interments from the white population of the city for the four months of the pre sent year. Comment is unnecessary. A. Vegetable or Arboreal Curiosity We learn, upon, what we regard good authority, that there is a pine or pines, in Richmond county, within a stone's throw of the Carolina Central Railway, presenting a remarkable instance of natural grafting. This curiosity stands about one hundred yards southwest of the track of the railroad five miles east of Rockingham, and is visi ble from the cars. Two long leaved pines standing about ten inches apart evidently distinct trees at a distance of twenty-five feet from the ground, form a union, and therefore make but one tree. One of the pines is about sixteen inches in diameter and the other about fourteen. After the junction, the dominant tree is larger, by perhaps six inches, than it is before the union. Both are perfect trees, and no one who sees them can doubt that they were originally distinct. Those Triplets. After a thorough investigation it has finally transpired that the colored triplets al luded to a few days since never really had any existence,, and Washington Shaw, the husband of the reputed mother of the mythical trio, has been released from cus tody. Why the husband and wife should have made such contradictory statements at first acknowledging the report to be true that the children had been born to tbem and subsequently as stoutly denying its cor rectness, thus getting themselves into un necessary trouble, it is difficult to conceive. If their motive was to gain notoriety they have succeeded admirably, but such noto riety is not to be envied, j Hunting a Deserter under Dlffl cm ties Officer J. E. Davis reports that after a vain search for a' deserter in a house on Front street, in the neighborhood of Cas tle, a few days since, he finally had his suspicions aroused that the man was con cealed in an opening in - the ceiling, which was closed in some ingenious way. Before he could be captured, however, he was spirited away from this place of conceal ment, but Officer Davis subsequently dis covered and captured the fellow, his last hiding place being a large box, into which he bad squeezed himself, when it was cov ered and a quantity of elothing thrown upon it; The deserter was soon afterwards delivered over to the captain of the vessel which he had left. Weather Conditions lor April, 1877. From Sergeant Robert Sey both, in charge of tbe Signal Station at this port, we have the following statement of the weather con ditions during the month just closed: Highest barometer, 30.369 inches; lowest barometer, 29.387 inches; monthly range ot barometer, 0.982 inches; highest tempera ture, 85 degrees; lowest temperature, 36 degrees; mean monthly barometer, 29.956 inches; mean monthly temperature, 60. 1 1-10 degrees; or about 1.05 degrees below usual average; mean of monthly humidity, 69.8 per cent. ; monthly range of tempera. ture, 49 degrees; greatest daily range of temperature, 33 degrees; mean of maxi mum temperatures. 65.5 5-10 decrees: mean of minimum temperatures, 52 de grees; mean daily range of temperatures, 13.5 5-10 degrees; total rainfall, or melted show, 7.61 inches; prevailing wind, south west; total number of miles traveled, 7,854; maximum velocity of wind, 40 miles per hour; number of cloudy days, other than those on which rain fell, 5; number of day on which rain or snow fell, 11. Owner Found. The gold watch, alluded to a few days sintfe as having been taken from the per son of an escaped convict who bad been recaptured iu Columbia, S. O, and which was believed at the time to have been stolen from some one in Wilmington, as the man had been passing a portion of his time here, has been claimed by Col. Wm. Johnston, Mayor of Charlotte, who -has identified it as his property, and got pos session of is. The watch was a very fine one and had a valuable chain attached. The fact of a claimant having been found to the watch was communicated to Captain Fitzgerald, of the police force, in an swe to a letter asking for a description of it for a party here who has recently lost a valu ble time-piece. Harbor Master's Report. From Capt. B.'G. Bates, Harbor Master, we have the following report of the arrival of vessels at this port, &c, for the month of April: Steamers, 10; barques, 15; brigs, 6; Schooners,23. Total, 54. Aggregate ton nage, 18,382; aggregate foreign tonnage, 5,581.

Badgeless dogs will stand a bad showing on our streets after this, as a vigorous "shot-gun policy" has been determined upon, and remorseless policemen with load ed rifles will roam our thoroughfares and ruthlessly slaughter all defenceless canines whose necks are not adorned with the talis manic badge of safety. The officers charged with this duty will have to observe the ut most caution, or they may do some damage where it is not intended. Stealing Newspapers. The Macon lelegraph tells of a party in that place who was arrested on Monday last for stealing papers from the doors of subscribers, was indicted by the grand jury on Tuesday, tried before the County Court Wednesday, convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and the costs of prosecu tion, or in default thereof to serve six months in tbe connty chain gang. A few such examples are needed in Wilmington. Succumbed at Last. Alfred Moore, colored, on Fifth, between Mulberry and Walnut streets, died yester day morning from the effects of injuries re ceived in 1870 by falling down the hold of a vessel, since which time he has never walked the dirtance of a square from his home. He was about 48 years of age. RIVER AND MARINE ITEMS. The schooner E. T. Caboda, Swain, ar rived at Boston from this port on the 28th ult. The Revenue Cutter Colfax left here Monday afternoon, and yesterday morn ing, with two of the Smithville pilots on board, went to hunt for the wreck of the Mary K. Sprunt, with the view, if pos sible, of making fast to tbe boat in some way and towing her nto the harbor at Smithville. After going outside, however, they found the sea so rough that they were compelled for the time being to abandon their project LIST OF LETTERS Remaining m the City Post-Office, April 24, 1877: A.

To be attractiva is a duty which every lady owes to herself, to her do mestic circle, and to society. Not only should she endeavor to please in address and in apparel, but, whenever possible, in complexion and In feature as well. Facial embellishment is to a lady as proper, and oftentimes as necessary, as are the adornments Of her raiment, the artificial graces of her conver sation, of her demeanor, or other meretricious at tractions upon which depend so much. of her do minion and influence over man. The woman who Sennits herself to become unlovely, who resigns erself hopelessly to the ravages of time, and the spoliation of her charms,visits upon her friends and admirers a sorrowful regret, that it becomes her to avert to the latest day. Of this social duty it may truthfully be said that she can best acauit herself by the use of Gouraud's Olympian Cream. No otb er preparation approaches this In excellence, in harmlessness and purity, or compares with it in the number of spontaneous testimonials that its virtues have elicited. Its advertisement has hitherto been its merit, its recemmendatien by all that have used it, and not by sounding and pretentious advertising in the journals of the day. Trial bottles S5 cents!
