Recovery of a Wflmlnxtonian's
Watch A Cane nf Thieves.
ijWhen Walter Albright, ; colored, was
arrested a few days ago on the charge of
robbing the dwelling house of Mr. W. II.
IJailry of money, he was discovered ia the
actcf concealing a gfld watch in bis boo
leg. The watch was taken from him by
tho policeman, and subsequently he con
fessed to the officer that it had been stolen
from Mr. II. Nutt, in Wilmington. He
told all about the mauner in which it bad
been gotten and implicated another party,
colored man, in the robbery. A letter
was written to Mr. Nutt, asking for a de
scription of the watch, and yesterday Po.
liceman Farrington received a reply fully
describing the watch now in his possession
and also a prrse containing about $20,
which was stolen at the same time. It was
the purpose of the police authorities to
send an officer to Wilmington to arrest
the negro implicated by Albright, , but
owing to some difficulty about trans porta.
tion, this idea wasabandoued, and it was
decided to telegraph the Chief of Police of
Wilmington to make the arrest. Tuwill
accordingly have doubtless been, accom
pliuhed before these facts are published.
It is believed that these two men belong
to a gang of thieves, which it is hoped
may be broken up by the apprehension of
two of them, probably tne leaaers.

MONDAY, JULY 28, 1879.
Dining With Royalty.
A friend has handed us aSraarked copy
of the Pittsburg Gazette, from which we
extract the int resting account published
Mow of a North Carolina boy, and one
whose . ancestry iu this country located in
our Cape Fear section and built the
hermitage ou St. George 's Creek .near this
city on land ceded to theui by the 'Lordt,
i'roprit torn,' the first white owoerf of the
soil of North Carolina, and with material
imported from the mother country. The
estate sti I n mains in the hands of some
f the lineal descendants of the Burswin
I
family, Mr. Iredell Johnson, the grand
son of George Rurgwin, Etq , at j resent
occupying tho old homestead. The ex
tract is as follows:
INTERESTING OCCASION.
lhe "Lditor and Younger Brethren"
Banquetiug at the "Trinity Housa,'
jjOnaon A loung rittsbun; barrister
among the Guests.
We find in the London Times of the
30th of June a full account or a basquet
at tneIrinity Hoube to which a dia
tinguished company was invited by bii
Royal Highncjs the Duke oi Edinburg
and the ''Elder brethren I of the Trinity
House'' to meet his Royal Highness, trie
Prince of Wales, at dinuer. We have
not space for tne interesting details as
given in the Times ii whose list of the
guests, embracing nearly every royal and
uoble celebrity in England, it is curious
to see included the name of George Bur-
gwin, Esq., son of Hill Burgwin, a prom
inent member of the Pittsburgh bar
Mr. Burgwin is a relative of Admiral Sir
Richard Collinson, K. C. B., Deputy
Master of Irinity Houso, to whom,
doubtless, he owes his presence in' the
august assemblage. Having noticed in the
Times the name of our young townsman,
aud assured ourselves of his identity by
calling on his father, we were k.ndly
permitted by him to print the following
extract from a private letter in which the
young gentleman gives his imp ressions of
the personnel of some of the distm
guiahed guests whom he met ou this me
morabie occasion: 1
'London, June 30 1879. '
! 1
. j In the first place the Ad
miral got me an invitation to the Trinity
House dinner. Of course I had no 'previ
ous engagement, and went. It was j
grand affair. w tf A great
man? celebrities were present. The
Duke of Edinburgh presided as master,
the Prince of Wales ou his right hand, ana
Prince Leopold on his left. Then came
the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Leiningen,
stc, etc, as you will see by the printed
card sent you. A similar card was band
ed 10 each guest as he was shown up. I
The Princes arrived each in his own car
riage, coachmen with the royal livery
lackeys, etc, etc. About forty sailors
were drawn up in front of the1 house to
receive them, the Grenadier oand playing
'God Save the Queen.'' I went early to
see all of the display, and felt it like ac
unaccustomed compliment, having the
policeman make the crowd fall back, for
my cab to . pass througn, I The Admiral
introduced me to quite a number of the
brethren, and I was kept bjusy in noticing
the different celebrated personages as they
arrived with their stare, and orders and
ribbons, j I
The dinner, and the wir.es, of which we
had many different kiuds, were very fiae.
Some of the speeches were very good. The
Duke of Cambridge spoke.very feelingly
about the Prince Imperial. The two best
seeches of the evening were those of E irl
Granville and Sir Stai ffurd Norlhcote.
They were capital J the others were of va .
rious grade?. The Prince of Wales spoke
fairly, Leopold expressed himself happilv,
aud 11. R. II., the Duke of Ediubtirg, got
otr some good things. The two gentlemen
between whom I sat were very agreeable,
a:ui 1 filled up ve.y nicely w.th their con
versat'on the occasional intervals between
listening to aud looking at the celebrities
and eating my dinner, 1
The band, which was on the roof, play
ed several selections during dinner. One
was from "Pinafore out of compliment!
it was whispered about to the first Lord
of the Admirality, who was present. The
sound of the music; came in through the
skylight and the effect was good. 1
The names on the cards printed ! in
scarlet, are those of the "Elder Brethren."
They all appeared in full uniform. Our
friend, the Admiral, was gorgeous with all
his ribbons and meda s. The Prince of 1
Wales was litera"y .covered over with
orders, ' 1
The toast master, who announced the
toasts and introduced the speakers, was
very pecu'var in h's manner wirch can
not be described.
After dinner, when the last toast had
been drank and the last speech made, the
Dme of Edinburgh rose from the table
and withdrew, followed by the test, and
the banquet was over; we then retired to
the reception hall and smoked our cigars,
all the company participating, except
the Prinoe of Wales, who smoked cigar
ettea. I . I
The Admiral. General Colhoson, and I
then took a carriage and were driven to
the 'rJaren the name by which; the Ad
miral'g charming residence is known.
An enterprisiog colored individual ha-3

Kt-ilKlous Revival.

We learn that quite an l .resting p(
ries of meetings are j being held at the
Second Biptist Church in in this city
and that many souls have lef-n converted
to God, and that ruaoy'otheri are penitent'
ly seeking the fountain cf mercy for the
cashing away of their sins'
Scat!
Ratsj!
Rats are numerous, bold and impudent
m some portions or this city. On Satur
day night, j one, a vicious old rascal, at
tacked a nego servant girl sleeping in the
residence Of a family on Market street and
hit her ou the neck and nose. Her screams
awoke the famiiy, who, after finding out
the causa of" the dUtr-bance, rau the rat
off aud had a hearty laugh over the idea
of a rat. a'.tenip'i'ig to , eat one hundred
and twenty pounds of African flesh.
Hie Fire Alarm.
Mr. B. DeForest,a representative o
Bell Telephone Company, arrived in
' the
this
city this morning. He is looking
over
the town with GenL Taylor to-diy, and
will commence to string the wires for the
fire ahrm tcmorrow
morning.
Mr.
Orme, the General Agent ofjtheOompany,
is expected in a few days when a site
for the Exchange will, be selected.
Needle Extracted.
A large darning needle was taken
from the side of a , little colored child a
few days ago by a gentleman of this city.
The child had been for some time past
complaining of a pain ia its side and on
Friday an examination was made when it
was ascertained that a foreign substance
about the length of a needle was imbedded
in the flesh. An incision was made
with a pen knife and the needle taken
out How or when it got into the child's
body is not known, j
The fall trade will, it is thought, be
larger than for many previous years.
