1. Jxiston, uapi. liearv. Ve find that, since our last isit on the 1st of November, (reported on the 7th) there lias been about one hundred and seventy of the breakwater finished by planking, and about (500) feet of foundation cribs piaced in position, and filled with stone up to low water lines, while work is nrozresuinu: on about one hundred and sixty feet of the' finishing superstruc tures. sixtv ieet of which Is nearlv ready for planking, thus aggre gatiDg the present extreme length of the break-water at about thirty-six hun dred feet, (3,000) oi which about twenty-four hundred and twenty feet (2430) are finished, and about one hundred and sixty feet in course of completion, making the monthly average of work done about eighty- five feet of finished' Baperstructure, and about two hundred and fifty feet of ounda tion cribs placed In position.

This, we think, may be considered pretty fair pro-gress for the past two considering the very stormy and disagreeable weather which has occurred withiu that time, as lso. the intervention of Christmas and New Year's holidays, suspending work for the time. The engineer has thought proper to make a slight change, in the. direction of the breakwater, passing it across the shoal in front of Zeke's Island, directly towards the Main Inlet, instead of resting it upon Zeke's Island, which, being merely a bank of sand, would be in danger of being swept away by a heavy storm and strong currents, 'thereby widening the breach and exposing the breakwater. This, no doubt, is a move in the right direction, although it increases the length of tbe bread water some two hundred feet, leaving some seven hundred feet cribbing'to be put in for its final comple-.

tion. The sand beach in front follows the work very closely, and closes in upon it immediately upon the stoppage of the leaks in the oreagwaterv The continuous stormy weather and eastwards winds have bad the effect of some what wearing the line of Smith Island beach to the tfoulhwaxd, but not to a dangerous extent. The outer point of this beach has worn off considerahiy, straigntenmg tue i general lines from Zeke's Island. This was to be exoectedIrom the strong currents passing into and tniiof the river, pressing hard upon it, and' niay reasonably be ex-J pected. to continue untu cnecaea oy oo-tructions on the river side of Federal Point; We did nor have time to" walk far down the beach to examine the condition and ef feets of the catch-sand fences and grass cultivation, for building op and securing the beach, but as far aa we could see, they were very satisfactory; in; fact everything con nected with tho wont wears a very encouraging aspect.

True, thd: progress Ot the work is more tardy than we hoped it would be (which is.no fault of the Engineer in charge, or lbe'Opera4i0 and more so, pep bans, than would result in the best interest ot the Government, and the commerce of our port, but we have the satisfaction' of knowing (hat what has been done, and is being done, effectiveV and sure prepara-' tion for more active operations for utilizing our magnificent harbor and river for the benefit of our rapidly crowing commerce. Had Congress exercised a vjnore -liberal spirit toward this wort, long ere this time we should be' reaping -tha benefits of it.

Killed by Being Ban Over by a Train of Cars. In Thursday's issue we mentioned the act that the corpse of some poor unfortu nate was discovered Wednesday morning on the side of the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad at a point between Rocky Point and Burgaw known as the 19-mile post, and that it was supposed the luckless Individual had been run over and killed by a train on the night previous. Coroner Hewlett, who was in that neighborhood at the tune, held an inquest over the body on Thursday and from him we learn that the remains were those of a colored man unknown to the people in that vicinity Some of the wit nesses testified that be was last seen on Tuesday between 3 and 4 o'clock going from the direction of Ashton towards Burgaw. The body of the unfortunate man, who was apparently about 45 years of age and of medium height, was badly muti lated, showing that he had evidently come to his death by being run over by the cars, and the jury returned a verdict accordingly. Fire at Bernam.

As the passenger train last evening came down from Weldon, the well-known brick structure at this ancient place, near Rocky Point in this county, was on fire and nearly consumed. It belonged to the estate of R. M. Bourdeaux, deceased, and was a vener able old English structure, of commanding appearance, immediately on the railroad. We have no further particulars.

It was a sad sight, remarked our informant, to see this antiquated edifice crumbling to the dust as the last rays of the setting sun were lost in the brilliancy of the conflagration. For the Ladles. The Rocky Mount MaU grieveth at the sparcity oi female in that lively burg. The editor has iately taken the census for the purpose of ascertaining the exact condition of affairs and states as the result of his in vestigation that there are only about 800 young ladies there, while the number young gentlemen is in excess of this amount at least 400 per cent Summing up the result of his conclusions from these premises he very wisely pronounces Rocky Mount the best market in the State for young ladies matrimonially inclined. Burned to Death.

A colored woman by the name of Diana Lane, about 65 or 70 years of age, residing about two miles above Rocky Point, was burned to death on Tuesday morning last She was engaged in boiling clothes in the yard when her dress accidentally came in contact with the fire. She lingered in great agony until the Wednesday evening following, when deatlfput an end to her suf ferings. Coroner Hewlett held an inquest over the body yesterday morning, the jury returning a verdict in accordance with the facts. The New Hose Couplings. We were shown yesterday a sample of the new coupling to be used on the new hose which has been ordered for our fire department They are a screw coupling, are fitted together in such a manner that there is apparently scarcely a possibility of leakage, while they will undoubtedly last much longer than those now in use, and are a decided improvement on the old ones in every respect.

There was a very fair attendance at the Promenade Concert for the benefit of St John's Church, which came off at City Hall last night The entertainment was a very creditable one in every respect The tableaux, statuary, were very hand some, while the vocal and instrumental mu sic drew forth every evidence of apprecia tion from the audience, Shipping Notes.

A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and report of the result, accompanied each spec imen. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, aU of which were more or less adulterated, and tnereiore unnt ior me dicinal purposes. The peculiar excellence and screngtn oi tneou or jumper, wmcn rormea one or the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic element, give It, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked suoerloritv over every other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative.
