Adrlut-Tbe Epsl Af , The Howard Relief Fire Engine Ckimpa-. i ny No. 1 yesterday ifternoon had the final . test of the neWengine MA. Adilan," recent-, ly purchased by them from the Button Pire Engine Company, of Waterford, New.' York. The; test took place at. the foot, of. Market street, and was witnessed by oiite a crowd of spectators; the company haying left their engine house atemi -half-part' 2 o'clock. The engine- being in position, with cold water of the temperature of .88 de grees in the. boiler, which is only a little above the freexing point, steam was made and a stream thrown in 8 88. This, of course,"-will be bettered in summer, when the tern peratore of the water in the bo&er at thft8tartwill beaboar'(6i:v: The test as to quick steaming having been settled satisfactorily, the next point was to see bow far the engine could throw through ' one thousand (1,000) feet of hosc which resultedjn a stream being thrown a dis tance, of 175 feet. This could have been improved upon but for the fact that the hose could not stand a full pressure, as it was already bursting in some places under a steam pressure of 110 and a water pres sure of about 200 pounds. The Wind was also against the stream . The next trial jras to see how far she . would throw a stream aorizontaly through 100 feet of hose, and 265 feet was the result. Then two streams were thrown through the same length of hose (100 feet), perpen dicularly a distance of 195 feet. This com pleted the tests, and it was found that the committee and the Company were equally well pleased with the result. The new engine is nickel-plated through out, is & double-pump engine, and has a capacity of more than 500 gallons per minute. It has all the latest improvements belonging to a steam fire engine, the brakes and goDgs being controlled by the driver. , The Company will accept the new en- gioe and the old one will be returned to the factory where it was purchased; both the old and the new engines btiug from the Button Manufacturing Company' works, at Waterford, N. Y. 'The hose carriage of the Company has been-repainted, and appeared yesterday on the streets for the first time, as bright as if new. The . ne w engine was purchased by the members of the Company, without the aid of any subscriptions from the city or citi zens, the money being taken from the 1 Treasurer's fund. The Company is now in good trim, and theyexaapopriation ilSffTbPt at an early day for the extension of ttr;ntre now tlswfitmiiythe building on ourth street, and the improve ment of their engine house generally, which, we understand, is very much needed. Bev. Dr. Wllaoa. to Leave Us. Rev. Jos. R. Wilson, D. D., of the First Presbyterian Church, announced from his pulpit yesterday that he had accepted a call to the Southwestern University,at Clark ton, Tennessee, and called for a congregational meeting of bis charge on Thursday night next to join him in askinir the Wilmington Presbytery to dissolve his relations with the Church . -- Dr. Wilson, we learn, is to be Professor of Theology in this new Univer sity, when it shall have been organized. Rev. Dr. Wilson became pastor of the' First Presbyterian Church in the early part of the year 1874, having received a unani mous call on the 10th of March of that year, while Professor of Theology in the Columbia (S. C) Theological Seminary, and soon afterwards accepted and entered upon the discharge of his duties. Since that time he has served his congregation with greatfaithfulness and ability, while he has endeared' himself to the community generally. We understand that Dr. Wilson is willing to undergo the sacrifice which this change-involves because he believes that it will be but oboying the promptings of duty. Wilmington will part with him with regret. Personal. ' Mr. Samuel Northrop, who has been quite unwell for a week or two past, is able to be at bis office again. Senator Chadbourn, the Senator from this county, spent Sunday and yesterday at his home in this city, leaving for Raleigh last night. , Mr. C. L. Smith, Associate Editor of the Biblical Recorder t Raleigh, called on us Saturday. : Rev. Geo. S. Jones, State Agent of the American Sunday School Union, is again on a visit here. The many friends of Capt. W. M. Parker will be glad to learn that he is much better, and is contemplating ajtrip to the Sound in a few days. v ..' Mr. Chas. B. Fennell has gone to Ocala, Florida, on a visit for the improvement, of his health and to see relatives resident there. Tne Fence Linr aa Amended and Passed . .

J . , ' Dtatractlon of the Warsaw Wall School' "X.f": Our citixens were pained at the announce ment received in thjaVeity. Sunday morn ing, to the effect that the buildings known as.lhe Warsaw High ..School, at Warsaw, Pupils county, had been destroyed by fire on the previous' night, about 8 o'clock. The fire is supposed to bav6 oiiginated from a defective' flue or from the explo sion of a lamp, but nothing is known cer tainly in regard to its origin. The build ings burned, which constitute he High School property,; were , valued at .about ISwerethelprorty of the'Eaiteni Baptist Association, and were not insured. The furniture was insured for $750 in the Virginia Fire and Marine Insurance Com pany, represented in this city by Messrs. Jno. W. Gordon & Smith, which it is said will about cove the loss. Rev. W. M. Kennedy and his sonfMr. D. S. Kennedy, were conducting a flourishing school at that place. Rev. Mr. Kennedy has the heattfelt sympathy of his many friends in Wilmington in the misfortune tl&S has befallen bim, who at the same tiini indulge the hope that it may result in only a temporary inconvenience with its at tendant drawbacks, which latter-may not prove at all serious to himself and sob. A Memorable Dmj, Sunday was not only Washington's hirth day, but the twentieth anniversary of the evacuation of Wilmington by the Confede rate forces under Gen. Hoke and the occu pation of the same by the Federal Generals, Terry and Schofield, which took place op the 22d of February, 1865. Annlverarar Ball. The Howard Belief Fire Engine Com pany No. 1 will celebrate the twenty-ninth anniversary of the company by a grand bsl) to be given at Voller's Hall to-morrow evening. For the Star. A SUGGESTION. In connection with our Criminal Court I think a zreat improvement . could be made by so changing the law as to allow tire Couniy Commissioners to appoint a compe tent man to be foreman of the grand -juries for a term, say one year, whose duty it shall be to inform himself as to all cases likely to come before the grand jury. He would then know who were the witnesses and now to examine them to bring out all the facts. This would expedite the business, shorten the term, and keep out of court many usev less eases that are either dismissed or found "JrtttBlM-A F" aUa aiiBbJa4hftftraji1 some cases that grand jury for want of the right witnesses, or its inability to briag out the facts by reason of igno rance of the case. By conference between the foreman and the solicitor the latter would be greatly as sisted in his work. This would be espe cially so in the country, if adopted for all the courts of the btate. Having served a few times on grand juries, I know the dif ficulties under which they labor. During the late term of our court I heard three cases in succession brought up for trial that no doubt would have been dropped by a grand jury whose foreman was well informed as to the facts in the Cases.

WINSLOW f As this question Is frequently asked; we win simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unti ringly devoted her time and talents as a female Phvsioian and nurse, principally amonsr children. She has esDeoially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort, ana practical Knowledge, ontainea m a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teeth ing. It operates like magic giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article Mrs. Wins low is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor of her race; children certainly do bibs xjv and bless her; especially is this the case in this city. Vast Quantities of the Soothuur Syrup are dailt sold and ased here. We think Mrs. Winslow has Immortalized her name by this invaluable arti cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of chQ aren nave neen savea irom an eariy grave ov iu timely use, and that millions yet unborn will nhsre its benefits, and unite In calling her blessed. No Mothbb has discharged her duty to her Buffer ing l'.ttle one, In our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. WmaloWs Soothing 8yrup Try it, mothers tby it now.
