Joshua G. ;V right, one of the Judges in 1808 of the Court of (Jon ferenceln North Carolina, and Susan Bradley, his wife, and was the great grandson of Joshua Grainger, one of the original settlers, of the town of if iiuiiugiiuu. no- w ao uuiu tu - tuis city on the 1st of March, 1807, and at the time of his death was the old est native citizen of Wilmington.''': He graduated at Chapel Hill, aud with distinction, in a class that nnaa bered amonir its members man v. who have since attained national repota ktjons, and embracing the profession of the law, sprang at once into a large and lucrative practice. Of a modest and retiring disposition, .' he shrank "trom the' turmoils of political life they were repugnant to his tastes and temperament and devoted him self entirely to the laborious duties of his profession. lie possessed great . powers of application and untiring in dustry, which enabled him to master any f subject ta which . his faculties were directed., ; His mind was more solid than brilliant more practical than ' imaginative hence he '.' was a better counsellor than advocate. Though making no pretensions to oratory, yet his efforts before a jury were always able and effective. He was the Nestor of the Wilmington bar, so universally -respected by his brethren that his advice was asked not only by the young and inexpe rienced, but also by the old and grave,, who valued most" highly his wisdom aud learning; !' He was for many years- Chairman of the County Court under . the. old regime, and upon the death of his brother, the late Dr. - Thomas H. Wrigljt, was elected President of the Bank of Cape Fear,in which position he displayed great ability not only as a financier, bat also as a prudent and sagacious man of business. While others sought fame on the! hustings, or. in the halls of legislation, ne iouna Displeasure mine aiscnargej of his professional duties, and could, not be induced to enter the stormy! sea of polities.

He could not pursue the Ll ucviuus and LormuuH uaiiiH soeabriv embraced by many who are so ambi tious of distinction, for his self-respect, outweighed all the charms and a 11 tire-; ments of - high official station. - tie , was the active and ardent 'friend of thatgreat work of internal improije nent, the Wilmington -& -Welcjon Kailroad, and was its attorney ad one ot ; , its directors ? from : its con -mencement to his death t,':"4 l?ew men have exercised more fn ifl.aence in our midst, and few will ie VOL.:XXH.-NO. 47. pore missad than William A.

I Col. John D.

And everything that taste and -'skill and unremitting care and work could do to adorn and beautify has been done. Winding walks and drives, margined with evergreens, and bright with the richest of flowers and redolent with the most fragrant of odors,' almost banish the suggestions of mortality, obtrusively brought to mind by the shafts of costly monuments. To-morrow is Memorial Day, and Oakdale will be visited by Wilmington almost en mam, for the city mourns an undue pro portion of its gallant youth, ' dead on the field of honor,' and reposing, in honored memory,- in the beautiful seclusion of Oak le." , , ' v ' Inbnman Treatment of a Child. A colored woman, by the pame of Pa tience Burnett, had a hearing before Jus tice Wagner, yesterday morning, on the charge of maltreating a little colored child, about two years of age j a daughter of one Frank Jones. , It seems that the mother of the little girl died, at the poor house some months since .from injuries received from aif accidental' burning,' since which time the child has been in charge of the woman referred to. The evidence was to the effect that she not only beat the child unmerci fully for one so young, but was in the habit of tying it up and leaving, it for hours at a time, and sometimes for an entire day, Sus pended from the joist by a rope attached to itt bodyso (bat it could just touch the floor;' the little ' one being so weak and ex hausted for a portion of the time that she would oscillate backwards andLforth like a pendulum, the woman frequently chastising the child, because, it would not, or could not, keep on - its. feet , Patience Burnett was ordered to give a justified bond in the sum of $100 for her appearance at the next term of the Criminal : Court, ia default of which she was committed to jail. , ,?(-- ui y ,;: ftT - ' . .- 1 I-t:. .-i ;.'
