That gilding the new five cent coin is counter feiting, was decided by the U. S. Circuit Court at San Francisco.

Of all diseases this is the most loathsome. The Richmond Staff; rakes that city for not erecting a statue to the memory of Gen. Lee. North Caro lina needs raking for her neglect, of Pender and other heroes. Fred Gebhardt is a nice one. He tried to bribe the doorkeeper of the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York, to let him into Mrs. Langtry's dressing room. He offered 50, but he failed. New Orleans is the proper city for The Cotton Centennial Exposition and the committee has acted wisely and well in choosing it. A half mil lion is needed to make it a big suc cess.

Press, Rep. Think of one Northern city with such a record (and there are others that can equal it) and then consider the unadulterated "cheek" required when a Northern editor dares to throw a stone at the South. A most shocking crime has occur red at Norfolk, Va. A little colored child some seven years old was whipped and roasted to death by a black she-devil named Lucy Hans ley. A cowhide was used. We no tice in the Baltimore Day that a big burly negro has been arraigned for beating fearfully a little V-y ear-old stepson. Such scoundrels deserve banging. Abbey and Mapleson, the two leading theatrical managers, have been battling over the great singer, Mine. Patti. Mapleson is victorious. He goes to Europe with Patti and pays her $5,000 a night. Who would not be a great singer? She gets for three hours' singing what a United States Senator gets for a year, or what a North Carolina quill driver does for four or five years. There are 28 States that have nev 'r had a President.

The three Tennessee Presidents were born else where, two certainly in North Caro lina, and there is doubt of the third, Andrew Jackson. Virginia,as usual, has the lion's share. She always gets more offices than' her neighbors. The intelligent Raleigh correspon dent of the Petersburg Mail, in his letter of 23d inst., reviewing the po litical outlook in North Carolina, says this : "The political si tuaton in North Caro lina, it must be acknowledged, is not very encouraging. No candid man will deny this. The sale of the Western North Caro lina Railroad to a foreign corporation, which was regarded as a good thing at the time, is now not by any means universally so regarded. Tkerefow, to my mind, its sale was clearly a political blun der, and it may turn out to be a public calamity." Spirits Turpentine. The Wil son Daily Siftings is enlarged.

The Raleigh News- Observer copies Father Ryan's impromptu that ap peared in the Stab, but without credit. Mrs. Nancy Daniel, one of the most respected ladies of Granville and a model woman, is dead, aged 79, of pa ralysis. Greensboro Patriot : Mrs. Weatherly lost over 200 bushels of grain at her mill on North Buffalo by the freshet. Other heavy losses in the county are re ported. A correspondent writes us from Enfield on the 25th: We now have the heaviest freshets in Fishing Creek since 1837; very destructive to bridges and fences. Shelby Aurora: Mrs. Annie Powell, who has reached the advanced age of 101, and is the mother of Capt. Joseph Powell and William Mode, of Rutherford county, walked this week one mile. Asheboro Courier: Last Thurs day night a negro was discovered under the bed of Miss Maggie Henley, a white girl of respectable family who lives with Sheriff Mofflt: The sheriff was prompt in taking charge of the aforesaid dusky son. Edenton Enquirer: The kitchen of Rev. Joshua L. Garrett, near Harrels ville. Hertford county, took fire. He be- L came very much excited, and took such vi olent exercise in trying to arrest the names that he died very suddenly of apoplexy or heart disease.

Oxford Torchlight : Another flock of eighteen or twenty sheep in the western portion of the county, fell a victim to too much dog in the pasture last week. More bells and more care ; or less dog. The muader case in which Robt. Hender son, colored, is arraigned for the murder of his wife is now up, it is likely to consume considerable time of the court this week. Morganton Blade: A terrific hail storm passed through a portion of Burke county last week, including Silver Creek and Brindletown townships, and old citizens say they never witnessed its equal. Two days afterward ihe hail could be seen in places from six to twelve inches deep. Revenue Agent Daniels and posse left Morganton Tuesday for Caldwell. On their trip they destroyed two illicit distilleries, with about 2,500 gallons of beer and all the necessary fixtures for running a blockade distillery. Roxboro Netos: Subscription to the railroad is gradually growing in favor with the people, and we believe it will be carried by a large majority. We re gret to learn that Rev. R. W. Williams, near Olive Hill, lost a crib by fire on Sun day night, the 14th inst., containing about 65 barrels of corn. It was undoubtedly the work of an incendiary. The Wil mington Star recently entered its thirty third volume. The paper is ably conduct ed, and we unhesitatingly assert that in our judgment it is the best daily paper publish in the State. New Berne Journal: Mr. N. J. W. LeCato, representing the commission house of 1. L. Chadwick, of New York, arriyed on the Shenandoah yesterday morn ing and says he has visited the truck farms at Norfolk and other places north of here and is satisfied that New Berne will have ample time to unload her Dea crop before Norfolk comes in. Nearly four hun dred boxes of peas were shipped by the steamer Shenandoah on Tuesday, and a large nnmber of packages of turnips and cabbages. Peas sold on the wharf at $3.25 to $4.40 per box. Newton Enterprise: The wheat crop is growing rapidly and is looking ex tremely well. The dogs only killed fifteen sheep in one day, east of Newton. These are a few of the sheep appropriated by our late Legislature for the dogs special use. A young man by the name of Hartland, from Watauga, was convicted in Statesville this week of robbing the mail, and was sentenced to two years in the Al bany penitentiary. We were recently shown by Capt. R. A. Bost an ear of corn of his own raising which contained 20 rows with 65 grains to the row, making 1,300 grains, without counting a number irregularly scattered at the little end. Charlotte j Journal- Observer : We place at the head of our local columns the name of William C. Maxwell, the duly nominated candidate of the Democratic party of this city for mayor. He is a young man)f intelligence and high cha racter, and is well known to the communi ty as a promising member of the bar. While a party of boys were riding on a dump on the Carolina Central Railroad track, Johnnie Ritch, one of the party, tumbled off in front, and two of the wheels passed over his body. It didn't hurt him. The newly completed bridge on the Chester & Cheraw Railroad, over the Catawba river, between Chester and Lancaster, yesterday succumbed to the pressure of the swollen Catawba, and was swept away. This bridge was completed about two weeks ago. The fine iron bridge which spanned the Little Broad River, in Cleveland county, was washed away recently. The foundations were washed from upder the abutments, remov ing the earth to a depth of fifteen feet. WILMINGTON, N. C, FRIDAY. APRIL 27," 1883. This bridge was finished last October at a great expense 10 ine county, ana us ue struction entails a heavy loss, Raleigh News-Observer : It is said that it snowed a little here Tuesday afternoon. Several citizens assert this to be a fact. Mr. John Adams, of the good old county of Harnett, bears off the palm as the veteran farmer. He is 88 years old, and for 7o years he has never railed to "officiate" at the plow handles each suc- oeecung season. . The fears that there would oe a heavy frost this morning proved to be well founded. It was exceptionally neavy, looking almost like a light snow, being visible an hour or more after sunrise. The weather was cold. Doubtless great damage was done. At Henderson the frost was very heavy, as it was also at Greens boro, and all points heard from. We hear that the Western North Carolina road has sustained injuries of the, most extensive character. A considerable portion of the famous long tunnel on the summit of the Blue Ridge has caved in, and a deep cut on Big Ivy, beyond A&heviue, has also fallen in, completely blocking the track. Between Hickory ara-&tat6fl"ntte a train has been caught in a long cut by land slides. Trains run no further west than Buffalo Creek, eight miles beyond States ville, and Asheville is for the present re mitted to its former state of isolation. Be yond Asheville, on the Paint Rock branch, many trestles are said to be swept away, and great damage has been done to em bankments. The reported damage on this road rises to the height of a great disaster. Col. W. H. Pry or has, we learn, been appointed Superintendent of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad. Col. Pryor was the Lieutenant-Colonel of a Confed erate regiment, and is a civil engineer by profession. About seven years ago he was appointed a section master on the North Carolina road and was promoted to road master and then made supervisor of tracks. And now he has won still further promo tion, and takes his proper place among the higher officers of our State roads. (Col. Pryor is a Virginian and came to North Carolina some five years ago. He is a first cousin of Gen. Roger A. Pryor. Stak.) TZHZIE CITT. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. MiiNsoN Children's suits. L. D. Citerrt Money lost. F. M. Moore Mules for sale. A. David Clothes make the man.

It is feared that the grape crop hereabouts has been seriously damaged by the frost. The Wilmington Light Infant ry were out in full dress for inspection and drill last night. The Raleigh News aid Observer says there will be an excursion from that cityto Wilmington early next month. There was one application for membership at the called meeting of the Wilmington Light Infantry last night. The thermometer in this office registered 46 degrees yesterday at 6 A. M., which was one degree higher than at the same hour Wednesday morning. We are in receipt of a copy of the catalogue of the officers and students of Davidson College for the forty-sixth colle giate yearending June 21st, 1883. Hereafter when the Board of Aldermen are in session they will rest their pedal extremities upon fine oil cloth mat ting. Our "city paps" are looking up. The Swedish brig Umea, Capt. Cohlberg, was cleared from this port yes terday for Greenock, Scotland, by Messrs. Robinson & King, with 2,300 barrels of tar, valued at $4,600. A match game of base ball was played yesterday afternoon at the Athletic Club grounds, in which the "Arctics," Capt. Job Bissett, scored 13, and the "Unas," Capt. A. McDougall, scored 50. There was a light frost visible here yesterday morning, and we hear that in the country, and especially in portions of Pender, it was quite heavy and very likely destructive to vegetation and fruit. Messrs. Turck and Richards are about finishing up their contract of marking the streets and numbering the houses of the city, those who desire finer numbers than the ordinary run being about the only ones to be supplied . We see by the New Berne Journal that Col. D. K. McRae, of this city, will deliver the oration "at the plant ing of the tree in honor of Judge Gaston, it the Graded School celebration on the first day of May." Improvements. Mr. Jos. II. Hanby is having erected a large two-story frame building on the southwest corner of Eighth and Dock streets, to be used, we understand, as a store and dwelling combined. Mr. J. W. Branch is putting up a nice frame dwelling on the northwest corner of Front and Castle streets. Mr. Jas. E. Willson has erected a nice frame dwelling on Blount's alley. We think we can venture the assertion that there are at least forty or fifty new dwellings going up or just about completed in this city at this time. A Pleasant Incident. On yesterday a pleasant incident occurred at the room of Rev. Dr. Milburn in the presence of Rev. Mr. Wood. It was the presentation of a genuine Irish white thorn silver headed cane by Col. D. K. McRae to the eloquent divine and very gifted lec tmrer. We may mention just here that Dr. Milburn will preach on Sunday morn ing, at 11 o'clock, at the Front Street Me thodist Church, and at night at the First Baptist Church. THE OPERA HOUSE, "Our Be4f Society." Another fair audieuce heard last night Rev. Dr. W.,H. Milbura's second lecture. The theme was not so attractive and the manner of treatment was not so popular as those of the first lecture, and yet to intelli gent, thinking people the discussion was replete with interest. It was much less dramatic and eloquent and impassioned ; it was much less popular much less apt to strike the masses, than his first lecture. But it was really as suggestive and, wiser and more timely than the first lecture, ex cellent and weighty and splendid as it was. It was admirably adapted to the age. Wherever delivered it must do good. No young man, no young woman ''could listen to the excellent wisdom that fefl from the lips of the lecturer without belngbene fited, unless deficient in those moral and intellectual qualities -out of which noble men and women are formed. Dr. Milburn was very impressive at times. His descriptions of men or inci dents are always interesting and are often rich in a glorious garniture of words. The characteristics of the lecture on "Our Best Society," were great good sense, large observation of human life, acute and just reflection and the best advice. He placed a true and high ideal of what should be "Our Best Society" before his hearers, and he gave them such views of the false and the shallow and the hollow of the tinsel and the fripperies and the meretricious, as to serve through all time as beacon-lights to warn and to admonish. There were two very admirable descrip tions. The account of the Hornblower family and their fortunes, and the transi tion from the plain country life and the small store to European travel and a pala tial edifice and ostentatious display, was full of fun and keen oliservation. It was a picture one will not soon forget. The de scription of the opening of Parliament by the Queen and the impressive practical les son connected therewith, was finely done. It was clear, luminous and pictorial. You might have read all about it before, but af ter listening to the gorgeous, picturesque, life like account you nee it all as a reality and will perhaps remember it always. We enjoyed hugely the able and vigor ous plea for work for apprenticeship. The very engaging and winning way in which the lecturer performed this part of his task was worthy of all praise. Wore New ItlaU Facilities. The addition of thirty new letter boxes in the various portions of the city is the next step in the march of improvement in the mail facilities of Wilmington, and Post master Brink informed us that the work of placing them in position was to be com menced yesterday. It should be under stood, however, that mail will not be col lected from the new boxes until the morning of Tpesday, the 1st of May. So if any one should happen to drop a letter into the new boxes before that time it will have a con siderable time to rest before it resumes its journey towards its destination. The new boxes will be located as follows: North Water and Chesnut, Seventh and Mulberry. Eighth and Nixon, Market and Ninth, Market and Eleventh, Nutt and Mulberry, Purcell House, Third and Ches nut,. Fourth and . Mulberry , Fourth and Brunswick, Fourth and Harnett. Fourth and Nixon, Fifth and Chesnut, Sixth and Princess, Sixth and Brunswick, Seventh and Harnett, Eighth and Chesnut, MacRae and Miller, South Water and Dock, Front and Ann, Front and Church, Front and Queen, Front and Dawson, Third and Nun, Third and Castle, Fourth and Queen, Fifth and Castle, Sixth and Orange, Seventh and Castle. Meeting of the Land League Last Night. At a meeting of the Wilmington Branch of the Irish National Land League, held last night, Capt. John Barry in the chair, and Mr. James Corbett, Secretary, the fol- owing resolution (a copy of which was ast night transmitted by telegraph to the Irish Convention in Philadelphia), was adopted, viz: Resolved. That we extend our heartfelt sympathies to the convention of Irish so cieties now in session in the city of Phila delphia, and wish them God-speed in their efforts for the amelioration of the condition of our countrymen in Ireland ; and trust that wise counsels may prevail with them, in order that those who now live under a thraldom of tyranny may with confidence 00k forward to the bright days of Liber ty's dawn. May the God of the exile and the wanderer from Erin's shores direct them in the path best calculated to benefit our ill-starred Fatherland. We say to them that, though few in number, our hearts pulsate with theirs in every aim for our common object, and we pledge to them our united, cordial and hearty support and sympathy. SThe following resolution was also adop ted: Resoked, That we extend to the Irish men and their descendants throughout the State, a cordial invitation to join with us in furthering the purposes of the Convention now assembled in Philadelphia, in order that we may give an organized support and sympathy to the efforts of those now en gaged in aims beneficial to the cause of Ire land's freedom. mayor's Court His Honor, Mayor Hall, Presiding. The only case before Mayor Hall yester day morning was that of John Richardson, colored, who was arrested between 8 and 9 o'clock, Wednesday night,' at the W. &W. Railroad depot, for acting in a suspicious manner. The evidence disclosed the fact that he was a Florence, S. C, darkey, and as there was no evidence to show that he had violated any law, judgment was sus pended on the promise that he would im mediately leave the city. 1 war Department, sicmal Svrrlee, Xj. . 9.

Of the performance in Savannah, Ga., the News of that city says: "An audience, drawn from the most fashionable circles in this city, taxed the utmost capacity of the Theatre last night, on the occasion of the first presentation in Savannah of Bronson Howard's pathetic drama, "Young Mrs. Winthrop," by the Madison Square Theatre Company. The play, like all the gems which have fallen from the pen of its talented author, finds a place in every heart. So delicate a blending of pathos and genteel comedy could achieve no other result. The play abounds in C 1 i m o TPH Tchi.h wTiitu intr-nariTv int timat i n rr I r natrl .nrt'thnnahW riV Ihn.ttpn. tion of the audience.
