Wilh ; an acute- ness of instinct that would do credit to a first-class detective,' Mr. Shaler proceeded on a tour of . inspection and .soon found them cooped, and in possession of a deal er, ready for sale. Inquiry satisfied him that the huckster, J. J. Hill, had bought them, and it was-not long before the thief was entrapped. He passed along Market street, was accosted, accused, arrested and taken before the Mayor, thence to Justice Hall, and finally to jail, in default of a $ 100 bond for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court.

The Chime or Normandy. - i The Adah i Richmond Opera Bonffe Troupe delighted the audience at the Opera House by its rendition of ,VLes Cloches De Cprnville," better known as the "Chimes of Normandy." Miss Adah Richmond is undoubtedly superior to Mrs. Jas. A Oates as a singer, and possesses ability as an ac tress that places her in serious rivalry with this popular, favorite in opera faouffe, who used so frequently to visit this city. The company appeared to even belter Advan tage last night than on the' night - previous, and greatly strengthened the good opinion formed on the manner of its presentation of "Girofle-Girofla." - V Miss Richmond and her support have created a splendid impression during their brief engagement, and will be liberally pa tronized should they ever visit us again. A company has only to please so generally our theatre goes once to insure it ever thereafter a cordial reception. We must not close this necessarily brief notice without mentioning the delightful singing by Miss Richmond and the Orpheus Quartette jof "Grand Father's Clock," which received a triple eneore and charmed all who heard it Law m Relation, to Inspection of , Timber In Wilmington. . In the House of Representatives at Ra leigh, last Monday, the rules were ; sus pended and the bill in relation to inspec tion of lumber in this city -passed, : The bill provides that the bill shall contain the gross number of feel and the number of feet measured off or refused on account of defects; inspectors shall not render bill for refuse timber at any price fixed by the buyer without expressed consent of the. seller; that the timber shall be measured in the middle and calculated at full size of square of the timber at place of measure ment, and onebalf the number of feet contained in vane edges to bt added to the amount; length of defects to be ascertain ed by chopping, boring, etc., and the length only of such defects to be refused. and if defect is less than one-third of size of timber, then only the number of feet actually lost by reason of said defect to be refused; inspectors violating provisions of this act to be removed from office and dis qualified. Rllaa lionise Pomeroy, It will interest play-goers here to learn that this aetress has so far recovered from her injuries'by the late railroad accident in Texas as to reappear on the stage. She played in Marshal, Texas, on the 31st of January, in Shakespeare's comedy of "As You Like It." By the by, we see that the Texas & -Pacific Railroad Company has compromised with the Edwards Combina tion rather than permit' suit for damages on account of the accident to be entered. The railroad company bas agreed to de fray all expenses and pay the sum of $3,000 $3,000 to Miss Pomeroy, $350 to Mr. Edwards, $300 to Miss Willis, and the balance to other members of the troupe who were injured. ' Carried Back. Late Monday evening, considerable ex citement was created in the neighborhood of Fifth and Mulberry streets,by the antics of ia young female, Dorcas Jewett, who manifested a disposition to pummel any body and everybody. The mystery was at last explained by some, one furnishing the information that the white girl was crazy, not. willingly lawless, and that she had probably escaped from the department at the Poor house assigned to lunatics. Yes terday morning she was given into the cus tody of the day janitor, at the City Hall, who, after placing her in a straight jacket, sent the poor lunatic to her old quarters. Accident to Mr. Edward Glavln. We learn from the Charlotte Observer that Mr. Edward Glavin, formerly of.thia city, fell down the steps from bis room in the second story of a building in that place, cutting an ugly gash in his forehead . just above one eye. He also received painful cuts and bruises upon different parts of his person. We infer, however, from the statement below, that be is out of danger. Says the Observer: "When carried to his room he came to the conclusion that he would assuredly die. He accordingly sent post haste for a friend, at 11 o'clock at nUht, and told bun to go right straight around to Tom's Black's room and tell Tom to put that game cock of his on half-feed, as he hadn't been well for a few days back." .

ArrlTal In atonroe of Samnal Bor deanx and Laar frem WIlmlnKtOB He Deserts lila Wife and Takes tbe Down Train, K,aaTlBSCber Penniless aunong strangers Apprehended and Arrested st Bocklniham. The Monroe Express, of Monday, under the foregoing caption, furnishes a bit of gossip of a sensational nature. It' states that on Thursday last a person named Sam uel Bordeaux, accompanied by bis wife, arrived there from this city, and stopped at the Monroe Hotel for the night. The man stated that he had shipped goods to that place, and intended engaging in merchan dize there. Early Friday morning, how ever, he told his wife he would step down to the depot, and see about the goods shipped. On his arrival at the depot he boarded the train for Wilmington, leaving his wife unadvised as to.hia departure and without money. Before leaving here, it is said, he bought a fifteen hundred j mile ticket, telling his wife that if he should not like Monroe the tieket could be used to go elsewhere. This, together with his strange conduct in hurrying off when the train blew, aroused the suspicion of Mrs. Bor deaux, and in fifteen minutes after the de parture of the, train she went to the de pot to inquire after her husband, mat found that he had absconded, taking his trunk with him.' A telegram was sent, and the fact ascertained that he was on the train at Wadesboro. Through legal advice the distressed lady obtained a warrant, and Sheriff Hasty promptly had the absconding husband, by telegraph, detained -by the Sheriff of Richmond county, at Rocking him. The Repress gives these further statements of the affair: " i "Mrs. Bordeaux is a daughter of John Underwood,deceased,wbo residedin Union county. At her parents' death she was bound to a Mr. Taylor, an aged citizen of Mecklenburg county, who resided near Charlotte. About rive months ago Mr. Taylor died, and Miss' Annie Underwood went to reside with her uncle, near Fayette ville. "While at the residence of her uncle, Samuel Bordeaux made love to ber, and they became engaged. The uncle of the lady.however, opposed the union, and the result was they eloped and were married in Wilmington, where they resided until their departure for Monroe, he having been en gaged in making sausage at some of the meat stands in that city. "Mrs. Bordeaux is a lady under medium size, apparently 20 years of age, delicate in appearance, regular featured and pretty. "Sheriff Hasty left for Rockingham this (Saturday) morning for the purpose of bringing Bordeaux to an account for his conduct before a tribunal in this place." We have made inquiry, yet no one in this city seems to know the parties, but if Bordeaux should have at one time resided here, we hope it may turn out. that aban donment of his wife was not the object of his sudden disappearance, Onr Port and Its Business.

UOKBIBLB OUTRAGE. A Yeang sod Highly Hespeetable Lady Raped. A special telegram to the Star, received last evening, gives intelligence of a ciime against law and society which, in its con ception and execution, betrays a depth and height of villainy and flendishness rarely to be met with in the annals of crime. The dispatch, dated at Laurinburg, 4 P. M. yesterday, states that Miss McDuffy, a well known and' highly respected young lady, residing near J. McNeill's mill, in Richmond county, was lashed to a tree and brutally raped by a negro named Eli Bethune, on Friday last. Up to the hour at which! the dispatch was sent no arrest had been made. The perpetrator of the infamous crime is a bright mulatto, about five feet six inches high, with scars on the left cheek, is a little cross-eyed, and weighs about one hundred and thirty-five pounds. We are anxious to contribute to his cap ture, and therefore give this minute de scription of him. We are' assured that any one who may arrest him will be liberally rewarded. The greatest indignation and excitement prevails at Laurinburg and in the entire community where the outrage was perpe trated. It is not doubted that if arrested he will be dealt with in a very summary manner. I : We trust that the people and officers of the law in this city and county may be able to contribute towards his capture. He Should not be permitted to escape the penalty of his more than savage offence. RIVER AND MA IIINB ITEMS. . The EUa, Moore, sailed from Grave Bend, England, for this port on the 22nd Ult.

Dread and despair fall upon the community when a terrible epidemic, like the cholera or yellow fever, suddenly desolates our homes; yet. all the while, a more insidious, but no less fatal foe, enters then- sands of households every year, and carries off the .flower of the family in the early flush of manly youth and budding womanhood. People call it Con sumption, or "decline." it is not. In most cases, the tubercular phthisis or consumption of the lungs, which is the peculiar malady in climates like those of the British Islands and fciew England, bnt a gen -eral decay or arrest of the vital processes of nutri-' tion . AH the doctors agree that there is no remedy ' for this but COD LIVER OIL, but they are con stantly met by the obstacle of inability on the part -of the patient to swallow or retain it This repul sion is entirely overcome by SCOTT'S EMULSION SHUjJ!?tl1 the HYPOPHOSPHITES OF v LIMB AND SODA, which is agreeable to the taste., and an unequalled nutrient and tosic for the body, nerve and brain. ?
