Yadkin Prefcbyiery.
The Presbytery of Yadkin met in Gieens-bo.-o
on the 6th inst. and was opened with
prayer by the Moderator. Rev. A. Bil
lingsley was elected Moderator and Mr. H.
C. Maury Temporary Clerk. The opening
sermon wa3 preached in the evening to a
full house by Rev. W. J. Williams, the re
tiring Moderator.
With a congregational collection of over
$21, with two additions, impressive singing
and a deep sense of God's presence, the
Communion on the Sabbath was very re
freshing. r t- ,-
Pn Monday" night, in the presence of a
very crowded house, Messrs. A. B. Law
rence of Biddie Institute and W. H. Bryant
and W. A. Scott of Lincoln University
were licensed to preach the gospel. The
congreg ition uttered a hearty "amen" to
the Moderator's licensing praj-er. On the
. same evening Presbytery raised over $80
for the Committee on the Freedmeo. Pres
Vyury passed a resolution earnestly be
seeching "and ttrbngly. urging , all the
churches to raise $1 to each member to pay
the present debt of the committee.
On Tuesday evening there was a very en
thusiastic Sabbath School meeting.
The meeting lasted three ? days, ' and one
night till half-past 1 o'clock. The house
was crowded every night.-
One new cborcli, with. nirreteetrmembers,
has bee a organized at Boonville since last
meeting.
From the little church at Danville, and
other destitute fields, the earnest cry "come
over and help us" still comes up from many,
souls longing for a preached gospel.
After tendering a hearty vote of thanks
to the citizens of Greensboro, for their kind
nesB to the members, Presbytery adjourned
to meet next April in Statesville.
We are indebted to a correspondent for'
these items of information connected with
the session. -

FOURTH DAY.
Yesterday was another beautiful day.
Not a cloud appeared throughout the day,
and the sun shone-out continuously. The
temperature, too, was all that could have
been desired, enabling visitors to the fair
to throw aside 6ucb encumbrances as over
coats, cloaks and other like wearing appare1.
The attendance was not so. large as the
lay previous, but still the number present
was quite respectable.
The programme fur the day embraced no
special features beyond the trials of speed,
which took place about2 o'clock, and which
we will mention hereafter!
In passing through the different depart
ments we noticed that some additions had
been made.
In Floral Ball have been placed a case of
antiquities, embracing an embroidered
lady's cap worn 96 years ago, a lot of old
deeds, wills and papers dating from 1651 to
1779, a table and teaspoon made as a bridal
present in 1694, and a chuuk bottle made
108 years ago. These curiosities were con
tributed by Mr. J. A. Willard. A nice
piece of work, and one that would re
flect credit on older heads, is a patch
quilt, made by Julia J. and Mary L. Pette-
way, aged 7 and 4 years respectively. J.
T. Riley presents a piece of work repre
senting a brig and schooner under full sail
at sea, the product of a pocket-knife.
-Tne Singer Sewing -Machine Manufac
turing Company exhibits an elegantly made
infant's dress and lady's waist.
In the Agricultural Department Mr. T.
J. Lee, of Pender county, exhibits a tripple
corn and cotton cultivator, of his own in
vention, which is very light, simple and
effective in its working, cutting the grass,
covering it and "darting" the cotton or corn
at the same time.
The agency at Charlotte of the Erie City
IronWorks exhibits a fine 8 horse power
portable engine and boiler for plantation
purposes; Mr. J. D. Myeis, of Washington,
N. C, has on exhibition one of his Excel
sior plows, and E. F. Martin, colored, ex
hibits in the department of the main build
ing appropriated for that purpose a fine
stalk of cotton raised by Mnisi lf in this
cit3F. ,
Strolling over the grounds the ear of the
visitor is greeted by the continuous bawl
ings of the managers of the various shows
and gambling contrivances, which latter
are to be found in the greatest abundance.
. We heard of no . pockets picked, yester
day, though doubtless many small thefts
were .committed.
"The principal attraction was the races,
which came off about 2 o'clock in the fol
io wing order: "
The "Jirst was a trotting race, mile heats'
best two in three, in harness, three to enter
for a purse of $75, $80 to first horse and $15
to second. Time to beat 2:50. Tbe fol
lowing were the entries: Hunter, by W. II.
Harvey; Geo. Gillet, by Wheeler, and
Toby, by James Soutberland. The last
named horse was taken sick just before the
race and did not run.
First heat Gillet won the inside track.
Both horses moved off in pretty fair order.
Hunter advancing to the lead; Gillet made
a bad break and fell furher behind ;at the
pole he gained a little, but making several
other serious breaks was left far behind,
and Hunter came in winner of the first
heat, far in advance. Tmie 2:53.
Second heat Hunter got the start, with
Gillet close, behind, and bad not the latter
made so many unfortunate breaks he might
have given his adversary a little trouble to
retain his advantage. Hunter came in in
fine style, in 2:44, leaving 'Gillet far he
hind, and was thereupon declared wiuctr
of the race.
The second was a running race, purse
$100; $80 to first horse and $20 to second
Mile heals, best two in three; three horses
to enter. -Bartio &Iedinger entered Vim;
L. Al Hitchcock eiiieed Mollie Darling
and W- Wyche entered Mary Long. Mary
Long won the inside track uud Mollie Dar
ling second. .
First heat An excellent start was made,
Mary Long darting ahead just after leaving
the btaud, with Vim second. Mollie Dar
ling soon shoots ahead of Vim and
tries hard to head off Mary . Long,
but ' to no purpose. ' The horses re
tained their relative positions with very little
variance, to the close of the heat, Mary
Long coming in nearly a length ahead,
Mollie Darling second. - Time, 1 ;5 1
Second heat. The horses started off with
Vim in the lead, Mollie Palling second
and Mary Long a length and half behind
These . positions soon changed, "for Mary
Long dashed ahead like a whirlwind, with
Mollie Darling second1; while Vim fell a
length ot twoi behind. ,This beat was a
hotly contested one, and was won by Mary
Long, who came in ahead.in fine style, with
Mollie Darling second ' and Vim far be
hind. Time. 1:50. Mary Long was there
fore declared the.wiooer of the first purse
and Mollie Darling the second.; !' f
ii A- scrub- race, . free to all except race
horses, not less than three to enter,' for a
purse of $10, was announced, but did not
come off. 1
With the races ended the fourth day of
the Fair.

Yesterday and last night seemed

We understand that there will

There is a holo in the sidewalk
at the northeast corner or tjnesnut ana
Fourth streets which is almost always full
of water, and a great source of annoyance
to the many citizens who pass that way,
particularly as the spot is very dark at night.
We hear that a lady attending
our Fair on Thursday was quite distressed
by discoverfng that she had lost $200 in gold
which she carried upon her person. A
timely search, however, resulted in the re
covery of the full sum where she had drop
ped it. ;
The Baptist State Convention
has been in session at Shelby since Wed

We are requested by Sheriff
Manning to state that he received no notifi

Three men, charged With being engaged
in tbe "chuck-a-luck" or gambling business
at the Fair Ground, were arrested at tbe

Norfolk and Wtlaalng-toti.
Tbe morning papers of Norfolk have
given full telegraphic accounts each day of
the Fair which is just closing in this city.
Messrs. Perkins and Glennan, of the Zend-
mark and Virginian, respectively, have not
merely kept their readers posted regarding
all the sayings and doings here, but they
have seen fit to make some very handsome
compliments upon the growth and trade of
Wilmington, the hospitality they encoun
tered and the pleasure they enjoyed in com
mon with other guests and visitors. We
quote some paragraphs from the letters of
each:
BYom the Virginian.
The quarters of the Guards are in thehall
of the Wilmington Steam Fire Company.
It is a spacious room, well lighted and ven
tilated. After the evening's entertainment,
the boys returned at a seasonable hour to
seek needed rest, alter the fatigues of the
trip and the pleasures of the reception, and
this morning at 7:30 were up promptly at
roll-call. It is unnecessary for us to repeat
here how much they have impressed all
who have met them with their conduct and
bearing. They have had welcome entrance
to all public halls, and many to-day have
been welcomed to the homes of the citizens.
Wilmington has a busy, animated ap
pearance, exhibiting the thrift of her mer
chants. It basincresed greatly in population
since the war; especially is this so with its
foreign trade. We .noticed at the wharves
and at anchor a large number, of foreign
vessels taking in cargoes of cotton and
naval stores, and from a conversation with
R. E. Heide, Esq., Consular agent of Den
mark, Norway and Sweden, we were grati
fied to learn that so greatly has the foreign
trade increased at this port that during the
present season some thirty or forty ships
are expected to arrive. Wilmington also
shows i s enterprise in its cotton factory,
which ..ts been in operation some few
months, ami which, as an investment, is
payii:g haudsoi. ciy. The city is- also sup
plied with two cotton compresses, one of
which is claimed to be the finest in the
countiy, aud was erected at a cost of $45,-
000. Many very handsome buildings
have been erected sincethe conclusion of
the civil strife. Noticeable among them
we may mention the Bank of New Hanover
birldit-.g, a monument to the enterprise and
business capacities of Captain I: 1. Grain
ger, its President, a young man who has
deserved and who receives tbe plaudits of
the community, on account of his enter
prise and public spirit.' the Uity Hall is'
also a fine buildintr. as will be the Jewish
Synagogue, now in course, of erection. The
drug store of Green & Flanner is a very
splendid establishment; Wilmington like
wise boasts of many handsome and beauti
ful private residences. Its population has
increased greatlv, as is indicated by the ex
tension of tbe limits of the city. It is num
bered at between 17,000 and 18,000.
From the Landmark,
We counted fourteen square-rigged ves
sels and understand that a few days ago
there were eighteen in port. The foreign
shipments consist principally of naval stores
designed mostly for German poits. We
next visited the new cotton mill, which has
been in successful operation for four months
It is a handsome and substantial structure,
three stories hich, and gives employment to
about one hundred and twenty-five persons.
Tbe average amount of cloth manufactured
daily is 8,150 yards. The weavers are paid
fifteen cents per piece of forty-five yards,
and those taking charge of six looms earn
about $8 per week, working eleven hours a
day. '
Donald McRae. Esq. ' is President of the
Company and also General Superintendent.
1 he enterprise has so far proved very suc
cessful, and we understand that parties are
contemplating the erection of another fac
tory of equal capacity. Why can't Norfolk
do as well in this respect?
As tbe storm prevented a parade, and in
fact kept every one pretty closely confined,
the Guard had to draw upon their own re
sources for amusement, and they were equal
to the emergency. The headquarters wore
a lively appearance all day, music, singing
add dancing being among tbe numerous at
tractions. Visitors from among tbe Raleigh
and Wilmington companies were among
those present, and all seemed to enjoy the
fun.
Wilmington is a pleasant city and her
people are very social and hospitable.
Opera Honae.
"Violet, or the Life of an Actress," was
the attraction at the Opera House last even
ing. The principal characters, Violet and
Cfrimaldi, were well conceived and render
ed in fine style. The other members of the
troupe were well up in their parts and very
creditably sustained the leading characters
in the cast. This afternoon there will be
a grand matinee for the benefit of ladies
and children, when the "Two Orphans" wilt
be presented for the last time. A cabinet
portrait of the Two Orphans will be given
to every visitor. To-night tbe Wildman
Troupe closes its engagement and will pre
sent the drama of the day, "Cuba;" the per
formance to conclude with one of Mr.
Fletcher's laughable sketches Id which be
introduces new songs and dances.
Maj..anea Att4ra.''
We regret that we were not able yester
day to print the whole of Maj. D. J, De
vane's excellent 'speech of welcome to' the
Fort Fiaher Survivors, delivered "at the
Opera Hous j on Thursday, and that our re
port was necessarily shot t' and imperfect.
One of tbe happiest passages was an elo
quent tribute to the memory of tbe brave
and beloved James M. Stevenson, who held
an impoff aiU4otitioo a.t Fither aod whose
life was sacrificed with that of the generous
Whiting and so many others in heroic at
tempts to; save: the fortress' and uphold
Southern honor. It was a warm, beautiful
and touching eulogl,' recognised 8 true by

"Last night the "Two Orphans" made
their last appearance in Richmond. . It is
the general opinion of those who witnessed
the performance either night of the three
when this play was presented that a more
interesting drama or a better company, in
tbe aggregate, has rarely been ottered to
any. audience, herejor elsewhere." : :

Came off last night, and was well attend
ed, as the balls at tbe close of our Fairs ah,
ways bave been. We recognized more of
our city than of our ' country friends upon
the floor and in the supper room, though
there was a good sprinkling of the latter.
The music was noticeably good and the
dancing was kept up with great spirit until
a late hour. The necessity which com
pelled our military, visitors to leave the city
early was a subject of especial regret on
this .occasion, as they would have been , the
life of the rout. The company, however,
were not in a humor to let a vain, regret se
riously mar the happiness of the hour, and
we think we may say the ball was a great
success, both in numbers attending and in
spirit" '
