VALUABLE PREsENT.-We saw yes /
terday, at the office of DR.. j. +. King,
President of the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, a very handsome set of anatom-
ical models and charts, which were manu-
featured in Germany, from whence they
were ordered by Mayor Martin a present
to the College. They are executed in
plaster, and embrace sections Of the head,
brain, ear, eye, larynx, elbow joint, knee
joint, hand, foot &c, but must be seen to
be fully appreciated. They will prove
valuable aid to the College next Fall.
FASHION DORIS FOR TIE LADIEs.-Hair
iewelry is quite expensive.
RufIles of lace at the wrist are supeTse-
ding cuffs.

Hon. \. NJ. WADDELI..-The Pee Dee /.
Herald pays the following very handsome ,
compliment to Col. Waddcll: The only !
cause we have for regret, III the new ar
rangement Of Congressional Districts, is /
tie loss of our gallant Waddell. He led ,
the s'forlorn hope" when all others faltered; /
bearded the lion Of Rcd-String-Radl- ,
calism, routed him aud his hosts OF !
negroes and scalawags and redeemed our /
district All honor to him. Calamity he
fought our fight, nobly he triumphed, faith
fully, honorably and Worthily lie has repre-
scented lis constituents. To give linn up now
is much against the wishes of his Arson
friends-but W feel sure his claims will not
he disregardcd in the new district; and eN-
press the hope that the time may come
when the people Of >ur River Country
may have the opportunity to again show
4 Y, al
eminent services.

The meeting devoted uUch Of its time
carefully revising the Premium List for the
next Fair and perfecting other arrange
ments therefor. The interest manifested
at this early day speaks we'll for the success
OF the Fourth Annual Fair Of the Asso-
citation.
Col. Atkinson offered the following pre-
amble and resolution, which We're lInani-
mously adopte,i after remarks from him
and the President:
The Cape Fear Agricultural Association,
embI acing Representatives from North and
South Carolina, regards with profound i'll
terest the Improvements of the Cape Fear
river. now in progress under charge OF Col.
w. Z. Craghill. Wilmington, as the great
pntrepOt for naval stores, is annually be-
coming port of more Importance, and It's
foreign trade increasing. 1t is, in our iu 1g-
ment, vitaiy essential to the prosperity of
that portion of the Carolinas of which VIII
mingtOn is the commercial metropolis, as
well as of the Great West, so closely con-
nected with lis, that vessels OF greater draft
and capacity than those heretofore seeking
freight in this port should be enabled to
reach our wharves. We are persuaded,
from the reports OF the engineers and
others competent to judge, that this con
summation can be attained if an adequate
appropriation be made by the General
Government, to the work now in progress;
and it is confidently believed that vessels
of eighteen to twenty feet draft will be
enabled to load at our WharYes, carrying
to ali parts of the world the rich products
of our soil, by reason of the increased depth
of water anticipated as the result OF the
projected Improvements.
Therefore, Resolved, That committee,
consisting of three members of this AsSo-
citation, be appointed, to unite with the com.
1nittee already selected by the Chamber OF
Commerce of Wilmington, to visit Wash
ingtOn and present to the Committee on
Appropriations Of Congress, the Importance
and feasibility of the work, and to urge its
accomplishment by an increased apprO-
priatiOn Of money.
Colonel Fremont was, by unanimous
vote, selected as the chairman raised by
the resolution.
DR.. W. G.. Thomas, ofNew Hanover, and
DR.. L. f. Arlington, of Wayne, were
added as the other members Of this com
mittee.
The meeting then adjourned until =
