The clerk of the Saperior Court can also be the clerk of tbe Criminal Court. With this amendment we are in favor of this bill.

To this complexion it must come at last and the earlier the better. Mr. J. H.

One very bad boy, he said, bad been brought to the asylum, and after about a month another boy arrived. No. 1 called tbe latest arrival aside and said to him with a dejected shake of the Lead, "Ah, old fel low, you'd better stayed away from here if you didn't know it." "Why eor" inquired the new arrival. "Oh, pshaw," said the other, "they don't 'low a fellow no liberty at all bare; they won't even let him cuss." "We don't pay any attention to doctrine," said Mr. Mills. "We think we have done tolerably well if we can keep them from 'cussing.

Wilmington, N. Q, Feb. 26, 1S81. Editor Stab Bear Sir: I have but a few words more to add, in reply to Mr. Norwood Giles' communication, and then I am done with tbe subject. My object in the outset was to chow that tbe present city government has sustained and carried out tbe promises of economy that was expected of it to tbe fullest extent, and I don't see that the position has been successfully at tacked by any statement of Mr. Giles'. If the citSaen8 will refer to published state ment of the city debt which appeared in the Wilmington papers about December 31st, 1878, they will learn that at a meeting of tax-payers and bondholders, which took place in tbis city at that time, tbe following exhibit was made. The total debt on the 16th of February, 1878, a date after I came in office, was $623,525 27; that a further state ment made for December 1, 1878, showed the debt to be $566,850 00, and tbe Dawson bonds amounting to $10,000 00 were in cluded in the first statement made February io, loio, as a debt for wbicn tbe city waa liable, and excluded from tbe last statement made December 1, 1878, be cause between tbe 16th of February, 1878, and December 1, 1878, tbe Dawson bonds bad been pronounced illegal by the United State Circuit Court, this being at a time when I bad the honor to be ' Mayor of tbe city, and when the administration over which I presided was entitled, if any ad ministration was entitled to claim tbe bene gt of the reduction caused by tbe bonds be ing declared illegal. I don't claim for this Board of Aldermen or for myself any special credit on account of the city being relieved of tbis debt of $10,000, and no statement that I have made heretofore can, in my opinion, be so construed, but my statement was a plain and simple ac count of the reduction that had taken place, however occasioned, during my ad ministration, and I naturally, and, I think, properly and reasonably included that amount, because the reduction had taken place during my administration. I beg leave to state also that tbe statement given February 16th and above referred to, does not include all the debt due at that time, for the reason that it was afterwards dis covered that there waa really $10,000 coupons, with interest thereon, due at that time, and not included in that statement. Take even the statement of Mr. Giles to be correct, and I claim it is not, still this administration is entitled to the credit of an immense redaction of tbe city debt, and I cannot understand the dispose Hon or motive with which any one is actu ated who would try to withhold from any rsoara or Aldermen that which is -justly due. The only wonder to me is, judging from the tone of the several statements of Mr. Giles, that he gives the Board of Aldermen credit for even the reduction of $92,880. Yours very respectfully, S. H. Fishblate, Mayor. meetlne of the Board of Heaiia. A special meeting of the Board of Healih was held last night at the office of the Board, to take into consideration the bill pending in tbe State Legislature, entitled "an act for the better protection of farmers and fishermen," and which it is claimed will interfere with sanitary regulations now in force. The following preamble and re solution were adopted: Whereas, The greatest care and atten lion ia required in tbe administration of tbe sanitary rules and regulations of tbe Board of Health of New Hanover county, to pro tect the health of the citizens of Wilmiog ton; and whereas, it has come to tbe know ledge Of tbis Board that a bill is now before tha 1 jMrialnltlFA nt Tfnrlh flnrnlina antitlorl "an act for the better protection oi farmers and fishermen," tbe passage of which in our opinion will seriously aud dangerously im pair tbe efficacy of this Board in carrying out the necessary and proper sanitary police regulations of the city of Wilmington, there fore be it Resolved, That we, the Board of Health of New Hanover county, do respectfully, peti tion the General Assembly of North Caro lina, if they should deem it proper to pass said bill, to embody in the same a provi sion that the said bill shall not in any mau ner be construed to restrain or impair tbe power of the Board of Health lo carry out ahd maintain all necessary and proper san itarv Dolice laws and reprjlatinnn in the r:itv of Wilmington. Cape Fear V Yadkin Valley Bailroad meeting of tne Produce Ezehange We are requested by Mr. R. E. Calder, President, to state that there will be a meet ing of the Produce Exchange at their rooms to-day, at 11 o'clock, to take action in re gard to the proposed sale of the State's in terest in the Cape Fear & Yadkin Yalley Railroad, a matter in which the business men of Wilmington should feel a deep in terest. It is said to be the design ofOen. Imboden and his associates, in case tbe purchase is expected, to complete the road to Wilmington in two years. Jf this is done, out city will become the outlet for the Immense coal and iron products said to 08 controlled by the Imboden syndicates. mh see a full meeting at the Ex- r change at the hour specified to consider and exchange views on this important subject. We trust, however, our business men will be careful not to give their sanction to this scheme unless it is clearly shown to be all that is claimed for it. Harbor master's Report. From Capt Jos.
