Raleigh Observer: The com mittee of the Legislature Thursday finished the examination of the books and accounts of Treasurer Worth, and found all correct.

Virginia. 3; Philadelphia, 8; Boston, 1; Wilmington, 2; New York, 7; Charlotte, North Caro lina, 1; Buffalo, New York, 1; Ports mouth, Virginia, l; retersourg, Virginia, 1. Asheville Citizen: We learn of a most horrible butchery, which occurred on Spring Creek, in Madison county, on Wed nesday night last, whiskey being at the bot tom of the affair. It seems that a crowd had been collected together during the day, engaged in what is known as a "working," during which liquor had been freely drank. After supper Mr. ' Merritt . Plemmons came upon tbe scene, and some of. the party got into a row with him becauso of the fact that he had, at some time or another "informed" upon them as illicit distillers, and the friends of the two parties generally waded in with the knife. Result Nine men more or less butchered, some of them possibly fatally. A man named Dockets who was endeavoring to part the combatants, had one eye cut out and his hands literally cut to pieces. An aged- negro, blind at that, named "Blind Crump," of Charlotte, was beaten to death by a negro named Qua Mc Knight. The Observer says: Late Friday evening, a negro man, living in the vicinity of tbe poor house, went to an adjacent swamp to examine a rabbit box. Hearing a groan he approached and discovered tbe body of a negro terribly beaten and man gled.. His boots and pants were gone and appearances indicated that he had been lying in the swamp for eighteen or twenty four hours. Near him was found a heavy black stick, 'shattered in such a manner as to leave no doubt as to the purpose for which it had been used. Dr. Wilder, the county physician, by impressing him with the fact that he was about to die, succeeded in drawing from him that he had left Char lotte to see a color edpreacbe r in the coun try by the name of Wallace Torrence, from whom he expected money which was due him. He was accompanied, he said, by a negro named Gu8 McKnight, and "Gus," he sum, "had done it." McKnight was arrested and Jailed. Asheville Citizen: A young man named Parley Gaston, son of Perry Gaston, Esq., of Hominy Creek, met with a fatal aceident one day last week. While engaged in assisting in covering a barn the scaffolding gave way, precipitating him to the ground, a distance of twenty feet, from which he sustained injuries that caused his death tbe next day. A singular homi cide ia reported from Rutherford county. A negro man, while sitting in front of an illicit still house, was approached by a white man and asked for tbe loan of bis knife. The knife was given the latter, when he coolly, proceeded to cut the ne gro's throat and then made his escape. We did not learn the names of tbe parties nor the prebable cause of the occurrence. WILMINGTON, Last week CoL 8. CL8belton obtained an order fronr' a "Chicago house for 2,500 pounds per month of his different brands of tobacco,; for the next twelve' months, with the .'possibility of this order being largely increased during that time. Charlotte Observer: The force of revenue raiders' under Capt. Stockton are still ranging around-through Cleaveland and the adjoining counties. On the 29th they seized several stills and about fifty S lions of whiskey. Tbe stills belong to arvey York, William Buckett, Peter Buff, and a man named Akers. Only Buff and York were arrested. - -The amateur en tertainment for the benefit of tbe Hornet's Nest Riflemen flag cleared about one hun dred and fifty dollars, being a success finan cially as well as otherwise. ' 'ol. J. L. Morehead, one of the largest stockholders in the company now engaged - in building the Morehead City Hotel.yesterday received information that the work of laying the foundation had been completed, and that the building was progressing rapidly. An idea of the dimensions of the structure may be gathered from the fact that it requires the support of three-hundred and seventy, pillars. The hotel is situated nearly on the water, and commands a magnificent view of the ocean. The Charlotte Observer gives the particulars of the bloody fight between Andy Elwood and John flail. It says: When the policeman reached them they were lying on the ground, clinched, and Hall called out for some one to take El wood's knife from him, as he (Elwood) was catting him. The knife was taken from Elwood, after which the parties were both taken into custody and carried to the sta tion house, where Dr. O'Donoghue exam ined and dressed their wounds. Elwood was found to have two severe wounds, one , on his arm, about half way between the elbow and hand, the knife entering the back part of the arm and ranging round to the front in the direction of the wrist, cut ting to the hone. The other wound was a gash across the band, just above the last joint of the thumb, about two inches long, also cut to the bone. Hall's injuries were found to be of a much more serious nature. The flesh on the side of bis head near the ear was fearfully lacerated, there being three distinct cuts, two of which penetrated to the bone and one through a branch of the temporal artery. Hall's condition is considered dangerous and at one time yes terday he was reported dead. His physician thinks he will recover unless some unex pected change takes place. Elwood was able to be up yesterday. TH JED GITY. HEW AOVKailSEnSNTS. MimsoN O vercoats . Opera House Louise Pomeroy. Hetnsbergeb Books, pianos, &c. Savannah News New serial story.

For lack of a quorum the meet ing of the Board of Aldermen last night was adjourned to Monday next, tbe 9tb instant. The almanac predicted cold and high winds for the 1st, 2d and 3d of the month. So far the prediction has been very nearly verified. We learn that the net receipts of the Operetta of last Thursday evening, for the benefit of St. John's Church, amounted to about $280. Yesterday this section was visited by a cold rain, which continued to fall near ly tbe entire day, rendering the streets very disagreeable to all who were compelled to be out. We learn that a number of our enterprising firemen are to have telephonic fire-alarms, with the necessary connection, placed in their rooms at their residences, so that they can be awakened at tbe first alarm of fire. Rev. Harvey Hatcher, Corres ponding Editor of tbe Biblical Recorder ,vfho was in Wilmington for the past two days in the interest of the paper, preached two very acceptable sermons at the First Baptist Church on Sunday. Chance of management in tbe W. v. Teleeraph Office. Mr. F. D. Cudlipp, who has for sev eral months past been, in charge of the Western - Union Telegraph office in this city, as manager, succeding Mr. L. A. An gel, has been relieved at his own request and returned to Richmond, his former home. Daring his brief stay with us Mr. Cudlipp conducted the busiuass of the of fice in such a manner as to give entire sat isfaction to all interested, by his genial manners and accommodating spirit, making many warm personal friends in the commu nity, who regret that be has found it to his interest to take his departure ffosa among us. Mr. Cudlipp is succeeded by Mr. W. H. Sterling, of Norfolk, Va., who comes highly recommended for the responsible position he is to fill, and the duties of which he has already assumed. Temperance at Bmlthvllle. The new "Temperance Reform Associa tion" was inaugurated at Smithville on Fri day last, and quite a large number donned the white badge, after taking the pledge which requires the members to try and ab - stain from the use of intoxicating liquors and indulgence in profane language. The meeting was held at the courthouse, Mr. John L. Wescott, presiding, assisted by Mayor Prioleau, and was addressed by Mr. Farrar, of this city, and Rev. Messrs. Wiley, Keep and others. The ladies are taking a deep interest in ..the movement and the outcrop will be, our informant states, a petition to the Board of County Commissioners for an election by the peo ple on the question of -License" or "No License."

Gorman ct ala. vs. Marsden Bel lamy, administrator, et als., from New Hanover; argued by A. T. & J. London and E. S. Martin for the plaintiffs, and D. J. Devane and DuBrutz Cutlar for the de fendants. John C. Heyer vs. Ked Beatty, from New Hanover; argued by D. J- Devane and George Davis for the plaintiff, and A T. & J. London for tbe defendent. Bitten by a Doe. Mr. John Haar, Jr., proprietor of the Mozart Saloon, was badly bitten on Satur day nigh t by a vicious dog. It seems that two dogs got to fighting and he attempted to part them, when, as. he was holding one of them off, tbe other seized, him by the right hand, inserting his fangs neatly through it in two places,. Inflicting very painful wounds. Yesterday bU band was still swollen very badly and causing him much inconvenience. OP KB A. HOD8B. At Yon Like It. After an interval of some years tbe talented and graceful American actress, Louise Pomeroy, last night reappeared be fore a Wilmington audience as Rosalind. Considering the inclement weather, the audience was large and appreciative There is not much in this play in the way of plot or incident, to weary the attention or develop histrionic art, in Its ordinary mani festation. No deep tragedy moves the pas sions, no rich comedy provokes laughter, and hence little opportunity for that entente eordiale between the actor and the audience which is indispensable to the production of profound emotions. The part of Rosalind is One - in which nicety of taste and cultivation are necessary to both the actor and audience. No transport of passion mars the symmetry of the perform ance; no boisterous laughter closes tbe ear to the exquisite music of the composition. Tbe stately procession of incidents passes from scene to scene, with the pleasing flow and harmony of a rivulet; wave on wave, in diversified and smooth succession. The woods resound with festal songs, the forests of Belgium become an Arcadia. Love reigns supreme, and gilds each sylvan scene with its own sunshine. In none of the plays which go by the name of "Shakespeare's" is there a more wonderful display of the creative power of the imagination of the author. He took a worthless pastoral romance of the sixteenth century aad made of it a most interesting and lively drama, which has enchanted tbe English world for three hun dred years, and it is full of sparkling imagery and profound philosophy. Miss Pomeroy is peculiarly fitted by na ture and cultivation for displaying to their utmost the fine, conceptions and wonder fully transforming power of the author of this exquisite poem. Her performance last night was graceful, modest, artistic and successful. It was not long before she aroused in herself that ambition for excel lence, nice discrimination and style in exe cution and delivery which seems to be ber special gift. Nature and art fit her for tbe triumphs of the stage. Mr. Leake's performance was excellent. He has a fine voice and possesses taste and talent. The other performers make up a very fair and respectable accompaniment to the prin cipal actors. Our experience justifies the conclusion that on to-morrow night the "Lady of Lyons" will be presented in a manner to justify the high expectations we entertain. We are very sure the people of Wilmington will not be disappointed in attending the psrformaoce. Optretta. The operetta of "Little Red Riding Hood," given under the management of Misses Burr and James, at the Opera House on Friday evening last, is to be repeated at the same place on Thursday evening next, with additional attractions, and at tbe espe cial request of a number of gentlemen of the city, who, in asking a repetition, but express a unanimous desire of the commu nity to share in the enjoyment of this de lightful entertainment The crowded col umns of the Stab prevent the publication in to-day's paper of tbe correspondence re. laling to the matter; but it will be given in the next issue. Hanelnar.ot tne Murderer of tne;iate W. G. Fowler Jr. At Taylorsville, Alexander county, on Friday last, as we learn from the Charlotte Observer, Joe Gillespie, colored, expiated tbe crime of murder by hanging. His vic tim was a respected and enterprising mer chant of Mooresville, Mr. W. G. Fowler, who bad moved to that town from Wil mington a few months before, and the mo tive of the murderer was robbery.. The crime. was committed on the night of the 17th of December, 1878. Gillespie con fessed on the gallows his complicity in the atrocious murder, avowed his belief that he had since been forgiven for the awful crime, and died with seemingly little fear, his execution being witnessed by about four thousand people. It will be remem bered that Jule Davidson, who inflicted tbe fatal blow while Gillespie watched, ac cording to their own confession, was taken from the officers while en route for States ville jail, a few days after the mutder, by a crowd of about a hundred citizens, and hanged to a tree.

We cheerfully recommend it. Every family should have a few bottles." Gbkek A Flansxb, Agents, Wilmington. a W MRS. WIN8LOWS SOOTHING SYBUP.-Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the "Boston Christian Freeman" : We would by no means recommend any kind of medicine which we did not know to be good particularly for infants. But of Mrs. Wins low's Soothing byrnpwe can speak from knowl edge; in our own family it has proved a blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled with colic pains, quiet sleep, and its parents unbroken rest at night. Most parents can appreciate these. blessings. Here is an article which works to perfection, and which is harmless; for the sleep which it affords the infant is perfectly natural, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." And during the E recess of teething its value is incalculable. We ave frequently heard mothers say they would net be without it from the birth of the child till it had finished with the teething siege, on any considera tion whatever.
