The Shel) Banner saysr "It was'our
pleasure to visit this enterprising and thriv
ing city by the seashore two weeks back
and receive some of the kindnesses of its
citizens. We were pleased to meet so
many well wishers of Shelby, and we assure
all buch persons that such wishes are highly
appreciated by our citizens. Wilmington
is now doing a vast amount of business and
we hope that it may be increased ten fold.
Produce, cotton and everything of this
kind is flowing in and yet there is room for
more. Her port is full. Her ships movo
off daily, heavily laden with the produce of
the land. Improvements are going on, and
all seemed to be enrobed with a spirit of
perseverance.
Wilmington is certainly the towa for our
Western people. On her we 6houl J depend
for all of our merchandise, as we now have
a direct line running to that port"
The Salisbury Watchman, whoso editor
visited our city during the Fair, calls atten
tion to Wilmington as the port of North
Carolina.' TheWatehinan expresses the sen
sible opinion that "Every North Carolinian
should be proud of the fact that we have a
port so well adapted to all our wants, and
strive to enlarge and enhance its useful
ness. Through Wilmington we can reach
all parts of the world with as much ease
and as expeditiously as from any other
point on the Atlantic coast. Why, not then,
give our trade and influence to our own
seaport city and thus assist in building her
up, instead of those in other States? The
people' of Salisbury ought to have direct
communication with Wilmington."
And the Asheville Citizen is moved with
commendable State pride to say: "Wil
mington is our only chance to build a State
seaport, and very much depends upon the
West to secure its being done. We have
State pride enough to insist that North Car
olinians stand by North Carolina."

"Seizure of Fire Arm a." '
Early on Thursday morning last, two white
men entered the store of. Mr. G. A. Peck.
on Front street, just after it had been open
ed by the clerk, and stated that they wished
to look at some guns. They were shown
some, when they said they wanted a better
article. In the meantime the clerk stepped
to the back part of the store to bang up his
overcoat; and was surprised upon return
ing to find that the two men were gone.
Nothing more was thought of the matter
until Friday evening, when Mr. Peck dis
covered the loss of two guns, w filch bad
been taken from the show window, and
which were valued at $20 each. Mr. P.
was afterward informed by a person con
nected with some establishment on the op
posite side of the street that he saw two
men come out of the store with guns in
their hands on the morning in question and
walk hurriedly up the street. No clue has
been obtained to. the perpetrators of this
"artful dodge."
Improvement.

Front and Second, will soon boast of a de
cided improvement in the shape of a fine
brick ice-bouse, which is now undervc6a

A Brilliant Acnlcycment.
A party of colored men w ere assembled
on the wharf foot of Princess street, yester
day afternoon, for the purpose, it seems, of
having some settlement between them for
labor performed. One of Ihe parly bad
charge of the funds and dealt out to each
his due proportion. Two of the men, how
ever, did not seem satisfied with the amount
received, and at the first opportunity one of
them made a dash at the sable cashier, seized
a ten dollar bill from bis hand and darted
off with it, followed by his companion. A
warrant' was subsequently obtained from
Justice Cassidey for the arrest, of the two
men, but at last accounts they had not been
captured :.

'Preparing for TnankaslTlus.
The premises of Robert Winbusb;!coffier'
of Seventh, and Bladen streets, were in-
vaded oh Friday night and robbed of four
fine turkeys. Being thus prepared with the
material for a substantial repast for him
self and friends on Thanksgiving Day, the
thief next turned bis attention to the wood
pile for the wherewithal to cook the same,
a quantity far inexcess of the amount neces
sary: for that purpose, however: being
stolen. About 3 o'clock in the morning a
colored man- was seen coming: from that
direction with one or more sticks 'of wood
in his possession. This individual, whose
name is Johnson, is said to be an old of
fender, and very little doubt is now enter,
fained that he was the guilty party.
A quantity of wood was also stolen from
a next-door neighbor of Winbush. ,
Ban Over. :
- We regret to learn that Charlie, son of
the late John J. Conoley, met with'a pain
ful accident yesterday, which might easily
have proved a very -serious one to him.'
Charlie seems to have been riding on the
forward platform of one of the Street cars,
and in attempting to reach a knife held out
to him by a young companion standing ' In
the street, lost bis balance and fell in such
a manner that one foot rested on the track
in advance of the wheels. The car passed
over it just above the ankle, breaking the
smaller bone of .the calf, as we understand,
but leaving the larger , bono uninjured.
The injury is likely to prove rather tedious
to the sufferer than serious.
