of Pioneer Coursing Club, No. 1, of San
Hon. r. G. Sargent eighteen miles from this
city. The day, while net really bad, was by
no means q good one for hares OF hounds, for
occasional showers put danper on the
sport, aud at P. ". sudden dash of rain
wet the grass enough to prevent the kares
from running well, and also made the ground
slippery enough to scare the dogs who ran.
The first dogs on the leash were ].
Christie's wh. d. Smuggler and c. Dixon's
W. and f. d. Stone Ale. The
odds was on Smuygler. Soon s hare was
sprung from cover, and the eager dogs, in
their frantic pluages for liberty, broke the
leash behind the slip, and away they went,
coupled together, in q long stern chase, fer
the hare laid itself out for cover mile or
two distant. Coupled as the dogs were they
made kill about half mile from ths start
ing point, and the first trophy was secured.
The Judge decided it no go. The next effort
was likewise failure, owing to various
causes. W. G. Helms w. and J. d. Silver

the dogs slipped but the furze had hid the
cunning little animal before the dogs could
get under way, and after they had beat the
bush little they were called back and
releashed to await more favorable OPP
portunisy. w. J. Martins J. d. Hawk and
j. Robinet's bl. d. Lew were then leashed
and slipped TO a heavy fat hare, that
gave them but little trouble. Although the
ground was very rough the hare was picked
mp within 200 yards of starting. The judge
decided it no race. Max Magner's ". aud r.
d. Sunburst and P. Kelly's bl. d. Raven
were given the next chance. This was a
pretty and exciting race, each dog making

made grand rush and turned the hare, but
Raven secured the prize and the race,
after pretty and exciting contest. P.
Monahan's b. and W. d. Spotter and
B. Dougherty's br. d. Chickapee
were put ia the field and:slipoed to hare,
which was picked up by Spotter, but the
judge decided it no go. The sixth couple
then came to the front. They were P.

turned once by Pride, when Winnie led the
chase across ditch and into furze field,

DOUBLE POsTAL-CARDs.-A law was
passed by Congress year or two ago an
thorizing the use OF double pos,al-cards-
that IL, a card to be sold for two cents
which should pass free through the mails
both from and back TO the person sending
it, The object was to enable persons de-
string TO do so to pay the postage on pos
talcard both ways. We have never seen
one OF those double postal-cards. and never
knew until few days ago why none Of
them had been offered for sale. 1t came out
In debate in the United States Senate last
Thursday that although the law authorized
the use Of double poStaI-cards, provided
there should be no royalty claimed by any
person, yet the POstmaster-General has been
inhibited by that provision from using
double postal-cards because there are none
except what are patented; and therefore
none upon which there is no royalty.

that a fire OF that kind should be up on this
mountain, so far from any dwelling. |

steam, which seemed to gu,h from the earth

out II in the hole, but could not touch any
bottom. The heat and its unpleasant odor

the recollection OF one Of our citizens with
whom we have coDyersed, who states mat
he has always understood that Clarke was
born on The land now owned by Mr..
Reddeld, aud who many years ago
saw the wreck OF the house. Mr.
JImes Alexander, one OF oilr oldest
citizens, eoncurs in the opinion that
General Clarke was born north OF the town,
on trac, OF land which a. that day took IN
the front yard OF the Edgehll mansion. Mr..
Alexander recOllecis that years ago, after
consultation with Colonel Randolph, he sent

Wilmington tN. G.. star, 12th.I
A robbery occurred in the southern por-
ton OF this city few nights since which
for bold audacity is a little ahead OF any
thing we have heard OF in some time. Al
the time only the female members OF the
family were present, the mother ana one
daughter being in room on the first MOOR,
and the other daughter-both young ladies'
heinc In a room up-stairS. This latter called
IN her sister 10 come mp ID her room, which
.bc did. but after sitting awhile said she
must 20 down and keep her mother COM
many. She started 10 leave the room. but
mon attempting to Turn the KNOB OF the
door found that she couldn't move II, Is II
was evidently held fast by some one OUTSIDE
She left the door in alarm, whcn she dl>liuct-
* heard footsteps ~ Of some one moving
cautiously from it, ana which appeared TO
enter the room usually occupied by the
sLrOther Of The Young ladlc>. Upan lhlornl-
iuv her sister Of the circumstance, the lailcf
SAID she bad been under the impression mat
there was some one in the house, having
heard faint footballs on the outside OF the
door. and that she called her in consequence
OF this fact.
The young ladies then both hurried down
stairs, one OF them remarklng that ihelr
brothers were absent and they we're con'e'
! duently unprotected, thus lnnoccntly AZ
| fordiug TO the thief Information which in
ten,i6ed his boldness. Upon reaching me
| lower floor and informing their mother q
| The stale OF Affairs, il was decided 10 cali III
the servant and try and get her TO venture
IN the stars and rOut the supposed fobDer.
The servant. however, declined 10 accede to
| the request. :,
In the mean time. while the three ladies
were discussing the matter with what niue
| for,ltude was possible under the clrcum-
stances, standing at the door Of The sitting
room, with no light TO see what was gong
on in ;he passage, they heard the footsteps
OF the unknown intruder come down the
stairs. when the elderly lady made tue re-
mark that II he did not leave the house sue
would shoot him. At this the fellow, VINO
was then walking deliberately down TIE
passage toward The back door, broke OUT
| into big "hOrse-laugh and quietly left
the premises.
J'pon going to the room OF the Drother
afterwards il was discovered that gold
watch and some other articles OF value had
been taken.
The ladies could not see the man well
| enough to tell whether he was Wblte or
colored, but they are confident he was the
latter from The popularity OF his laugh
