Wilmiotoa for tie Pat Five
Yeara Her InDrovements and
Croakers
Wilmington is slowly but steadily im
proving. Enterprises are continually be
ing added to the already large business
which is done in this city thoagh we fre
quently hear croakers saying "we are re
trograding, the town is dead, nothing do
ing, etc." There is nothing calculated
to do a city more damage tbau such cbats
and such chaps. We grunt it. times
have been, and are now dull, but every
cUxi1 tke country, has experienced the
evils of the panic and many have not
yet recovered from the effects. . Let us
retrospect and see what has been done in
this city in the past five years: A new
saw mill, the best of its size in the coun
try, has been built; another which was
burned has been rebuilt. ' A sash and
blind factory has been rebuilt aud en
larged. A rice mill, second to none iu
the country, has been builtand is in suc
cessful operation. Besides in the past
five years the following enterprises have
been established: Cotton factory, tobac
co factary, tin factory, steam laundry,
four steam peanut establishments, cigar
factory, steam sausage factory, marine
sectional floating dock, new market
house, turnpike, telephone fire alarm,
telephone exchange, two cotton com
presses, two steamers to Smithville pine
straw packing establishment, root and
herb depot, carriage factory, harness
manufactory, steam dying and scouring
establishment, two lager beer bottling
establishments, oil tank depot and two
cemeteries. Among the literary produc
tions are the N. C. Medical Journal
and At Home and Abroad. The depth
of water on the bar has been, increased
and New Inlet closed up, a public hos
pital will soon be built, a stock com-
pany is now at work on the Duplin canal
and the work of erecting the Holly sys
tem of water, works will be commenced is
a few days.
There are strong probabilities and
hopes of a narrow guage railroad, to be
run in connection with the coal and iron
mines in the Western part of the State,
erminating here and of having rolling
mills established this city. There are
hopes of the fibre works being reopened
and a paper factory being built. Truck
arming has gained a new impetus and
the rice interest is on a biV boom. Land
in and adjacent to the city, which a few
years ago was lying in waste, has been
mtilized and a large number of handsome
stores and comfortable dwellings have
bsen erected. The improvements on the
sounds are due to the improved condition
of the city. Hotels and boarding houses
have been established, on Wrightsville
and a "company is now forming who
a v '
propose to build araliroad to the Sound
Now, to recapitulate, withiu the past
five years our commerce has increased
very Jmuch Jand communication with
foreign ; ports his been extended.
Business relations have been establish
ed with foreign ports and coastwise trade
has not been better for sereral years than
it has been during this winter. There
are sow forty-one vessels over one hun
dred tons burthen in port and fifty-four
sailed for this port. At least one hun
dred vessels, exclusive of steamers, have
arrived and cleared this season and the
fleet of tug boats have been kept bu3y.
Besides the increased number of vcssela
which have loaded here they are of a
larger class and carry larger cargoes
than vessels drawing 12 feet and regis
tering abont 200 tons. It is not at all
onnsual to see vessels of over 400 tons at
onr naval store yards, compresses and
saw mills taking in loads twice the size
of those carried oyer the bar fire years
ago.
Forty-two busiut. enterprises have
been established, which gives an average
of eight a year or one for every forty fi?e
days. The capital invested in establish
ing these branches of trade will amount
to at least $500,000. This docs not in
clude the money spent here in "establish
ing the oil tank depot, for we have ne
means of ascertaining the amount, nor
the telephone exchange, telephone fire
alarm, pine straw packing establishment,
money received from the trucking and
rice interest, nor the government appro,
prhtions for the Harbor and Kiver Im
provement, and fiihing interest, shipping
of stureeon, ete. The money expended
in establishing these industries was
taken out of banks, bonds, eU?., and Dit
into circulation.
The money brought here and placed
in eirculatioa fxoa the al of piaeitraw,
nee, tally vegetables, etc, amouuts to a
good round sum, and is no doubt far ia
excess of the amounts received from
similar sources during the fir3t balf-of
the past decade. Why growl, and grum
ble and croik when we have so much- to
be thunkfcil for ? Why not brace up
look at the bright as well as the dark
side of the picture ? Put your shoulder
to the wheel ami try aid get yoir city
out nl the aloujrh of despair, ruin and
deruy you imsgiue she is in.
TheuddroM delivered by Dr. Thos. F.
Wood Inst evening before the Historical
k Scientific Society was an admirable
one. It was on the flora of this Stale
aud section and if possible we will pub
lish it for the benefit of our readers in a
day or two.

Ha bor tlaitfi'i Report.
From Capt. Josepk Price, Harbor
Master, we have the following list of the
number of vessels. American and for
eign, which arrived and departed from
this port during the month of January,
together with the tonnage of the same:
American. Tonnage.
Schooners, 18, A 4,554
Brigs, 2, 647
Barques. 2, j04
Steamers, 4, . 2,887

Schooners, 2, 185

Making a grand total of 56 vessels,
American and Foreign, with 17,539 tons.
That retltton.
As our readers will have noticed, in
the Senate, on Saturday last, Mr. Scott
presented a petition from certain citizens
of Wilmington to abolish the Criminal
Court of New Hanover coanty. The
Democratic majority in the Legislature
should not be deceived by this. The
said petition was political document.
It was fathered by certain Republican
officials aud is, strictly speaking, a Re
publican document. The obiect of the
petition Li evident. If the
Criminal-'.. Court is abolished
and the criminal calendar thrown
back into the Superior Court,' the fees
and perquisite of the officers alluded
to will be largely augmented. Thi is
the milk iu that prolific cocoaout.
The Criminal Court for this couuty has
accomplished a great deal of good.
There is no question a3 to that fsct. It
has been a terror to evil doers and it
should not be molested.
Annual K. port.
The thirty-eighth annual report of the
Mutual Xiife -Insurance Company of New
York, printed in another column, like all
the reports that have preceded it shows
the continued prosperity and growth of
this corporation. It is now, as it has
been for many year, the largest and
strongest life insurance company in the
world. Its assets are $91.735,78G; sur
plus over $11,000,000; amount of policies
in force over $306,000,000; income orer
$17,000,000; and amount paid to policy
holders last year $13,160,694. Amid all
our financial revolutions.no suspicion has
ever fallen upon the solvency of this
company; and while other companies
may have foundered in the mire of catch
phrases to beguile the unwary, the Mu
tual Lite has steadily adhered to its orig
inal plan of affording the largest amomt
of insurance at the least price consistent
with safety and with the best interests of
ts insured. . Each succeeding statemei l
shows the wisdom of the redaction of
premium rates inaugurated by this com.1
pany ber.eSting old as well an new
policy holders. it.
Hundreds of caec. wo:ecii and children
rescued trotn beds of paiu, sickbeds and.
almost death an'd made stroog'and hearty

evidences in the world of its sterling
worth. You can find .these in every com
