Iaese Bell Caj ada Y, the eldest little
daughter of the editor of this paper,
died At 3 o'clock on Saturday. This
gentla flower followed by only two
yean her brother to his last rest, lcav
iag oaly one child to the desolate and
heart-stricken home. The luneral
servkea wero held At the residence of
Mr. Canaday on Sonday At 3 o'clock,
Attended by many sympithi ring friends.
Iler. Dr. Bernheim, the beloved Pas
tor of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran
Church, who lias been on a tour of
about three months, through England,
Germany And Switzerland, returned to
this city on "Wednesday last; he was
met At the depot by quite a number ot.
his congregation, who welcomed him
back home. We arc pleased to state
that bis he Alt h has greAtly improved,
and that be is looking exceciiogly
well. His trip was a very pleasant and
enjoyable one.
Oar thanks Are due to C. B. Denson,
Secretary and Superintendent of the
St Ate Agricultural Society, for a com
plimentary ticket to the approaching
State Fair, to be held at Raleigh, com
mencing October ICth and closing on
the 20th. Read the following letter
.'om the Secretary:
Our prospects aro most bri'lian for
the tbe best fair ever held in norm
Carolina. The entries are very large
in number. Thedisplayof grain, grasses,
fuita. dec. by ihe Agricultural Depart
ment, will include every county in the
State. The grand military review of
the whole!forccs of thcZState, will be a
striking feature, and the display by the
- r i i i ::
various lemaie scnoois iu cunipvuuou
for the splendid Organ, value, $330,
given for the beat drawing, painting,
embroidery and needlework, js another
item of much interest. Very fine hor
ses haye entered for the races, aod we
anticipato a delightful time.
We learn that our city fathers have
commenced ditching Chestnut street, be
tween E'ghth and iVinth. This is a
work that should have been commenced
at least three months ago, as the resi
dents in that neighboihood have, since
that time, been running fearful riks of
ruining their health or lotting their
ivea, to say nothing of the trouble and
nconycniencc to which they have been
subjected ia being compelled to wade
through the st.iguaut water by which
heir residences was surrounded. The
citizens in that neighborhood pay taxes
to the city, and although they do not
bWne to the upper ten, are entitled to
as much consideration nl the hands ot
our city officials as that more favored
class' are. We are glad that the work
has been commenced, and are satisfied

NUMBER 40
PUBLISHED BY BEQUEST. (
Of late a great deal has been said,
and quite a Jurvrt created, in regard to
special retail liquor license, resulting in
a controversy between the liquor dealer
and a so-called: Board of Audit and
Finance, an institution never known to
bare existed heretofore in tbe good old
times of Wilmington. But if such is
called an evil, there is still another,
worthy of mention: Since an all-wise
bodyjrhicb, in the city of Raleigh once
upon a time, assembled to legislate and
prescribe rules for the good government,
not only ol the Old North State at Large,
but also for the ruling of municipali
ties, it came to pass that an immense
number or knowing ones were erected
magistrates to enforce obedience to
said laws; and whereas, some of the a
establishments are now open for the
transaction of all matters of business,
whether the same be legitimate or oth
erwise, I, therefore, 'trespass, with your
permission, upon your valuable space,
to call attention to a few items, said to
nave happened af latpiu magisterial
circles.
A fews days ago a J. P. scut for per
sons of doubtfaljcharacter, to procure a
witness, or witnesses against a retail
liquor dealer, bearing a charge for sell
ing liquor to minors. After considera
ble trouble the necessary w itnesses, in
the shape of two lewd women wero
'procured, whereupon tho warrants were
issued ana ine party oounu -over lor a
bearing.
Now. I admit that there is a .state
law (and a just one) to prohibit the sale
of quors to minors, but tho question
nere arises, aoes a magistrate constitute
a grand jury to examine any number of
witnesses before ho can find one who
will, by compulsion, make the atfidavil
on which a criminal charge can be based?
Next an officer of the law was ap
proached to visit certain bar rooms on
the Sabbath day and try to obtain pir
itnous liquors on payment, aud report
thereon at office, so that costs could be
made. All of which the olfiecr respect
fully declined. This mau of law needs
make a living out of h"s oflicc, but il?
looks to us. Mr. Editor, that instead of
mending ways, it encouraged tho break
ing of tho same. Or, in plaiti word,
is not the receiver cqual'y guilty as the
thief?
One more instance. This oaine mau
of law interrogated, a few days ago,
another officer of law, asking a report
and communication ol names of persons
who were in the habit of playing cards.
dominoes, &c., in public places fur
d ri n ks or mon ey ; the s am e bei u g a g ra v r
violation of the law, and costs would,
consequently liaye to be paid. This
officer also declined, Ktating that he was
a a
not employed lor 8ucu.uusiues.-i.
Will visit, prooaoiy, another ui ine
B. Select ofticcs, at leisure hour, and
report facts accordingly iu the next
issue of this paper.
