Of Trinity Church, Portsmouth, in the morn

officiated and preached in St. Johns Church

delivers his discourse from the mouth without
notes. He is fluent, earnest and attractive.
The congregation at night was unusually
large, and the Rev. gentleman was listened to
with evident interest. Father Plunkett, as
usual, officated at the Catholic Church, and
the other Churches from which we received
no special report, were open for divine service
as usual. The Rev DR.. Okeson ofiiciated at
st. Pauls, and preached an excellent sermon.

Especial Correspondence of the Day Book
Macs HEAD. August IL, 1866.

Being disguised with warm weather, mus
quitoes, sickness, &C., we left Edenton on the
18th of last month, to enjoy the numerous
pleasures and advantages of this well known
summer resort, as well as the society of the
bellies and beaux, which we understood were
at the "Alexina House" The trip as usual,
was void of interest or incident, except the
constant cry of 'settle your fare" ringing of
bells, and the passing and rcpassing of pas
sengers. Having reached our destination, we
were soon ensconoed at the 'Alexina House,
which is large commodious, and comforta-
BILE building, with elegant and well ventilated
rooms, offering every necessary convenience
to visitors, double piazza, extending entire
ly around the building, affordipg an ample
and delightful promenade, as well as play
grounds for the children, who, though numer-
GUS, are not in the least annoying.
The tables are filled with every luxury of
the season, food invitingly prepared, and wait
ers exceedingly attentive.
1t is vain to attempt a description of the
amusements offered in the spacious bathrooms
after the excitement of the day is over; suffice
it to say, we have an elegant and accomplish
ed band whose brilliant and anmating strains
give new visor and activity to the fairy-like
feet of the graceful dancers.
But in describing the various amusements
offered in the ''Alexina House." last, but not
least, comes our kind worthy, and induigent
host, Mr.. A. E. Jacobs, in whose favor no
praise eau be deemed too high. 1t is well
known by all the residents of Mays Head that
he leaves nothing undone which can contrib
ute in the least to the welfare, happiness, and
enjoyments of his visitors.
We are looking forward with emotions Of
unbounded bliss to the arrival of the steamer
Ella, which comes this evening laden with a
gleeful al d "yous freight of mirthful hearts
who will be welcomed with out-stretched
arms by all who feel interested in the amuse-
ments of the ball room, and we do not doubt
that the eight fantastic tee" will be tripped
with renewed energy and delight.
Could our readers be initiated in the pleas
ures of the "Alexina House." we are sure they
would join with us in saying, there let me
live and die" AMEN

by idle and vicious negroes.

DOGS AND Dog LAWS We regret to say
that ON yesterday evening one of the pretty
little children of Ella Smith, Esq, was bitten
bya dog. 1t is consolatory to know, how
ever, that there is no shadow of reason to be-
lieye that the dog was mad, as he has habitu-
ally been kept chained up. This makes the
eighth case recorded by the newspapers since
March, aud yet, the humane governors of the
city are more tender in their regard for the
comfort of the dogs than the safety Of the
people,! We have law which imposes
tax ON the canidae family within the city linn
its, and yet out of the immense number of
these vicious brutes among u.s. only about
forty have had this tax paid, while few, if
any, are muzzled .,f
We are gratifed to learn that the Mayor
intends to move in this matter, and we have
no doubt that he can collect still larger
number Of cases than those we have quoted.
Indeed, we can inform him of the fact that
Mr. VIM s. Tompkins was attacked few
days since by three dogs, and narrowly es-
capped being badly mutilated by them.
People who can afford dogs, can afford to
keep them at home and pay the tax. Ifunwill-
ing to do this, they cannot expect the COM
munity to tolerate them at large
ATTENTION MERCHANTS. merchants
will remember that we have insisted for
many months upon the great importance to
this community of what we call olive Adver-
Using" We are now able to lay before the
mercantile public of our two Cities one solid
fact worth all the speculations in which we
could indulge. We record it with peculiar
pleasure, and trast it may be the means of
stimulating the merchants of both towns to
systematic and persistent efforts to conciliate
trade.
The incident to which We allude, occurred
few days since, and shows our merchants
what they sometimes miss, by not visiting
those country districts for which nature has
designed Norfolk to be the commercial me
tropohs. One of our leading commission mer
chants was at Oxford, North Carolina, and he
there met gentleman who enquired Of him
the price of salt and guano in Norfolk. On
being informed what those articles were fur
nished for at this place, he told the merchant
that the farmers Of the county were making
up club to send a gentleman on to purchase
supply; that the rates named We're SO far
below the prices furnished by merchants from
other places, they would at once give him the
order with the cash for its purchase. OF
course, our commission friend took the order
and the cash. though that kind Of business
was not exactly what he was in pursuit of.
Now, it don't cost great deal to travel;
