places at the date of the last report twenty re-

stores have agreed to not sell except on pre-
scription, and only four have refused to sign
the pledge. Since the date of this report the

Walter Phelps, has been making himself ex-
tremely funny IN Congress by ridiculing the

that he will unmake" him as soon as pos

A NaturaI Curiosity.

Mr.. Houston, President of the Mon
roe Bank, who is now in the city,
brought down one of the most beauti-
full natural curiosities that We have
ever seen. It is in the shape OF a piece
of slate-rock. which was found, with
others of t. lime kind, Oh feet be-
low the surface, in railroad cut about
10 miles east of Monroe. The curiosity
consists in beautiful delineation, ON
the face of the rock; of landscape,
exhibiting trees, banks and a water
course. The branches and leaves OF
the trees, although very small. are an
almost perfect imitation of nature, and
it needs but slight effort of the i'm
agination to see the simmer of the
water in the creek below and the blue
of the sky in the distance beyond the
trees. The representation is formed
by means of fine strata of a brown
texture, which seems imbedded in the
coarse rock to the depth of an inch
or more. Mr.. Houston has donated
the specimen to the Wilmington Ii
brary Association, who will place it IL
their museum of curiosities.

FOURTH DAY.

The attendance at the Fair Gro unds
on friday, the last Of the Fair, was
larger than Wa have ever known it on
the closing day of any of our previous
Fairs. There were many ladies pres
ent. and the trains which ran every
half hour from the city, carried out
fresh additions to the crowd. The
committees completed their lists of
awards and the result was announced
during the afternoon. The premium
list was intended for publication to-
day, but was not sent IN last night,
and will, therefore, probably appear
tomorrow.
The principal interest Of the day
centered in the races, and in these
there was variety enough to please
any one. The races during the day
were as follows:

OF $25, one mile heat J. W. Souther-
land entered Grey Eagle, J. E Lamb

T. Williamson entered Boston. Mil

having been distanced and ruled cut,
and Mildew won the second heat in
1:54 The first money was awarded
to Mildew and the second to Accident.
Third Race-Boys foot race, half
mi G heat, for boys under ID years.

and was therefore awarded the money.

] ir to that arranged for the third race,

The official communication from the
Governor to Sheriff Manning, COW
ering the communication of the sentence
OF David Martin, the boy murderer,
who was to have been hung FRIDAY.
TO Imprisonment for life, was forward
ed as O registered letter and did not
therefore, come to hand until yester-
day morning. AS soon rs he had re-
celved it the Sheriff went to the jail
and called Martin from his cell, tell
ing him that lie he had received doc
umen5 from the Governor which
! would save Linn from the hang
ing to which lie had been sentenced.
The boy had but little to say in reply,
aud all that could be gotten out of him
was that he didn't care" It was ap
eleventh hour respite as the gallows
! had been already prepared and the
rope that was not destined to hang
David Martin was knotted for the
occasion. He was baptized yesterday
by Rev. james L. White, of st.
Thomas Church, who has been in
structing him for the past two months.
Martin viii probably be sent to Ral-
egh to be placed in the Penitenti8ry,

mystery to mystery, and then explains

nothing.
It would seem that men are won
derfuIly slow to learn the very impor-
tant lesson which the Book of Job
certainly does teach-name]y, that
we are not to darken counsel by words
without knowledge. Human learning
has done very little for any man, If it
has not taught him to take some ac-
count of human ignorance.
81 don't know" is a very short an
swer, and a very simple one; but 1t
often requires wisdom to enable a
man to give this answer to the ques-
tions which any fool can answer with
glibness, and with perfect satisfaction
to himself ''I don't know" 81 don't
know" 81 don't know" said one of
the ablest men in America, in reply to
question after question propounded to
him by pert student in one of our
Universities. "Why. DR.. Bledsoe, %
said the youngster, 81 thought when
I came to the Univei sity you would
tell us everything that we didn't
know" "You are very much mis-
taken," said the Doctor. II can tell
you what I do know; and that will be
quite a short story; but if were to
undertake to tell you all that yo1 don'1
know, the story would be very long
| one"
Now, as to the charge of immodesty
and conceit which has been urged
against Eihu, we may say, that wher
we make due allowance for Orienta
phraseology, and then call to mins
some of the Interpretations of Provi
dence" which we frequently hear from
! our pulpits, and read in our religious
newspapers, we are not sure tina
Elihu was not at least as modest a
are the majority of the speakers ant
to treat Ct the subject which Elih1
was discussing. J. @. Hidden.

We have been permitted by the
gentleman whose name heads this ar

represents the 42nd District in the
General Assembly, to copy from orig

congratulatory military communica-

the high estimation in which North
Carolina troops were held by Generals
in the Confederate States Army during
the late war between the States. 1t
will be observed that these communi-

and generals from three different
States, not of North Carolina. but OF
Tennessee, Kentucky and Virginia
entirely dlsinterested SO far as locality
is concerned. rendering due honor
and praise to the gallantry and eff

in the Confederate States Army.
