The Obierter says: "An investigation proved that the burglar had done his work thor oughly.- The trunk had been robbed of $260 in greenbacks, Mr.-Allison's vest had been relieved of a erold watch and chain, a lead pencil, and $1.60 in cash.

Most likely Mecklenburg oounty, which has thirteen townships, paid out this year as much as $175,000 for fertilizers. - This great sum is sent off from the county to enrich manu facturing establishments abroad. - In most of the cases the National Express suits in the Federal Conrt a Char lotte went against the defendants. The Observer says: "The suits Were brought by Mr. Glenn, trustee of the company, against those of our citizens who held stock in the defunct' concern. The company failed a number years ago, after a brief but brilliant career. Itnas proved a losing Dusiness for the stockholders, for they have been held to account foe the debts of the company. Judge Bond gave all the judgments without submitting the cases to the jury, and his rulings are final.- The worst of it is. that should the . judgments against . tne stocK- holders be insumcient to pay tne company's indebtedness, additional assessments can be levied upon them.

Jones were yesterday pained; to learn that he was pros trated by a stroke of paralysis the previous night, at the residence of Mr. A. Burwell, and that his condition was considered criti cal. At the r time he received the stroke Dr. Jones was sitting in the family circle, evidently in tbe best of health, and chatting in his usual pleasant vein. One entire side of his body, from face to foot, is affected by the stroke. (Dr. Johnston Jones is one of the foremost physicians in North Caro lina.

Jo time a second ship carried away seveir hundred tons of guano. After that no more vessels came to the island fpr.two months. The three months .were up and all the provisions gone. They caught some fish, but the fishing lines soon gave out and the hooks were "lost. -The captain tore up canvas and. unravelled ropes ana men t whited a new stock of fishing lines. . He then destroyed a six-dollar umbrella, and converted the steel ribs into hooks. ;He- played the role of the lone fisherman day after day, hoping against hope for the arrival of another vessel, while the work men grew more and more discontented. The party had two yawls, and oner morning. after they had been on the island seven months, Captain Jeannette started on & a daring voyage in one of the yawls in search of help. He had neither chart nor compass and had to trust altogether to his ewn ex perience to reach Jamaica. He allowed his boat to be governed by the trade winds. and after a voyage lasting from December 20th, 1884, to January 10th of this year, reached there. From Jamaica he went to Wilmington, N. C, and, after treatment for rheumatism contracted on the daring voyage, went to New York. The poor fellows left on the island kept faithfully at their work, and by the latter part of May last had collected 475 tons of guano. Some English vessels touched at the island, but the men had not money to pay their passage and, moreover, they still trusted that they would hear, from either Capt. Jeannette or their employers. Their fresh water supply was very meagre. ; Fbr- lunateiyheavy rains set iu later, and they managed to gather a supply. Their food consisted of fish, conchs, birds' eggs and boobies. These fowls came in flocks upon the shore. The conchs were very indiges tible, and had to be abandoned as an article of food. The little hard bread which they had managed to keep was almost destroyed by weevils. Their 'shoes were . all worn away, their trousers reached only to their knees and their shirts" were, almost in shreds. They had almost abandoned all hope when the Powhatan touched at the island on Nov. 25th last. They sailed away on the PawTiatan, leaving behind some six hundred tons of guano and all their tools. The officers and crew of the steamer were greatly interested in the poor fellows, and provided them with shirts,' trousers and caps in place of the tattered clothing which they wore when taken on board. , Capt. Jeannette feels very sorry for the men, but says that he himself is as much a victim as they are. He claims to have dis covered Roncador and three other islands back in the fifties, and says he was recog nized as their owner by tha American gov ernment. Although a partner with Gen. Schwenck, E. L. Ritchie and Mr. Sloan in. the scheme to work Roncador Island, it was turned over in his absence, he says, to the Petrel Guano Company, and his shares of stock sold. He says that a Mr. Wickoff now virtually owns the island. He has en tered suit against all the parties whom he claims have wronged him. v- Tlie Iiffftlmate Drama. For- the first time this season theatre goers wilt have the opportunity of witness ing tbe legitimate' drama on Friday and Saturday next when Mr. George C. Miln, the tragedian, ' will appear in the Opera House here. This will be the first appear ance of Mr. Miln in Wilmington, although it is said Jo be his fourth theatrical tour. He was first a preacher, but having' aban doaed the pulpit he adopted the stage, and soon established himself 4u the great "field of. the legitimate drama. Commencing three years ago, without the aid of capital or experience, he is said to have forced his way to the front by sheer-strength of will and the exhibition of undoubted dramatic talent, andjmay now be regarded as en titled to a place among the heading trage dians of the country. He is said to possess the fire of genius and his acting to be char acterized by a degree of energy and earnest conscientious conviction, which makes him live the character he represents. ..

RIVER AND BEARING. The steamer aground on Hatteras shoals on the 17th inst. was tbe British steamship Inflexible, from Coosaw, S. C, for London.

WINSLOW J As this question Is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unti ringly devoted her time and talents as a female Physician and nurse, principally among children. She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in 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 risi up and bless her; especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here. We thinkMrs. Win glow has immortalized her name by this invaluable arti ole, and we sincerely believe thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by Its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share Its benefits, and unite mcalling her blessed. No Mothxb has discharged her duty to her suffer ing little one, in our opinion, until she has given It tbe benefit of Mrs. winslow's Soothing Syrup Try it, mothers tbt it now.
