A great many go to the Exposition on the daye -set apart for their fective 'counties merely as a matter of prUeand takeas many along with them aa possCfe.

Triumph ferend Torenllcnt Procession and Able Speeches Tonns Men's Democratic Clnb of New Hanover County. . A very large and enthusiastic ajudience greeted the speakers in the Fifth Ward last night, and the magnificent procession un der the skilful management of that earnest Democrat and energetic gentleman,' Mr. H. McL. Green, was a complimerTt to the Fifth Ward; and we know that the true Demr crats in that Ward have been very much encouraged thereby. Thespeaking was under the auspices of the Young Men's Democratic Club of New Hanover County, and was presided over by Mr. Thomas W. Strange, 'its President. The first speaker was Mr. J. C. Davis, a young lawyer of ability and character, who having risen from the people knew their needs, and he made an able speech, practi cal and instructive. His remarks were lis tened to attentively,- and produced a benefi eialffecV - V At Hie close of Mr. Davis speech, ;Cot Koger Moore, in an exceedingly" pleasant and inspiring manner, introduced Col. Al fred Rowland, 'Presidential Elector from this District. It was a late hour at which Col. Rowland commenced his speech, and many of his audience, on occount of the coolness oflhe night, t were obliged tore tire; but, notwithstanding this fact, he entertained his listeners' in a speech re markable for its clearness, its strength and its logical force. Col. Rowland has a charming voice, an impressive presence; and a graceful delivery; and his speech was enjoyed by his auditors. Wilmington will be ever glad to welcome Col. Rowland to her midst, even as she wishes him God speed in his patriotic labor. .a .nv-s State Exposition New Hanover's Ex position. Below we give from the Raleigh News and Observer a synopsis of the New Hano ver county exhibit in the Stale Exposition: "The general view of this county's ex hibit is very interesting, and presents a tropical appearance with small palm trees at each gate post and the great palmettos prominent at each front corner, and at tracting the eye from a distance. Taken from directly in front it resembles an art gallery, the walls being richly adorned with oil pictures, crayons, photographs, hand painted china, with easels bearing speaking likenesses of Gen. Scales in cray on, and Major Stedman in pastelle, the Democratic candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The arrangement has been from the first under charge of the skillful Mr. O. T. Thomas, of Wilming ton. There are also upon the walls speci mens of map drawing, which are very cre ditable to the pupils of the Wilmington schools. The blending of colors in the ar rangement is very pretty, the background light lead color, with windows and other decorations in deeper tints.. The railings are covered with maroon, and the posts are large and gilded. The name "New Hano ver" is suspended above the centre and at the east end in large i)lue letters. . Upon tables in front are cases containing delicate work on china and photographs. A figure of Mary Anderson in crayon is also very fine and attractive, and, with the many other specimens of crayon work, does Mr. Thomas great credit, A large piece of tapestry in zephyr, containing 196,000 stitches, the handiwork of Mrs. A. W. Rieger, of Smithville, represents the happy days of Charles the First. Miss Bessie Willard has two fine portraits in crayon, one a life-size bust of Mr. Primrose. Mr& Dickson Munds has a crocheted, highly per fumed satchel, hand-painted by herself, and there is a fine oil painting of a Spanish man-of-war, which attracts mach attention. in a line in tne centre or. tne space are -a fruit stands arranged similarly to those of Park & Tilford, of New York, which show the fruit splendidly. In the practical line 1 S. P. Shotter & Co. present a large exhibit of tar and turpentine tools, and a sample case of rosin by Worth & Worth represents all grades from A to W, arranged in mosaic so as to blend in colors.' 'The Acme Manu facturing Company, of Wilmington, pre sent a large variety of their fibre work and oils made from pine boughs and cotton seed. The fibre is novel, and includes, . "real pine hair," "bear grass fibre," bear grass, ' pine wool, distilled water.dust as a fertilizer, pine needles of. eight grades." There is -also a oabinet of woods, embracing all .-varieties grown in the, pounty, some highly polished, including the handsome curly pine.- The palmettos shown represent the northern limit of the growth Of that tree. There is also a great variety of plants and grasses in pots, including the celebrated "Venus fly trap,, the. only plant known, that feeds on insects. The turpentine 'tools .include the hacker, ' pulled ' scraper ami boxing axe, just as taken from the woods, with a bucket for scrapes, and a barrel of crude turpentine ready for the distillery, which is also on hand, in which the whole process of distillation of spirits of " turpentine and production of rosin is explained. -There is a very large and increasing., demand for these goods now from the North. There is also an exhibhVof tripoli, an article which is found in Moote county and manufac tured in WilmirJtfyMr. Swann. It is found nowhere else in Ahevcouritry except one deposit in California. It is equal to the best of German tripoli.. ..Tripoli is used as a polishing article. Mr. Swann also exhi bits fine clay found in Moore county. It is equal to the best' English battersea. This fine clay can be found all along the ridge lying between the .upper and lower Little Rivers, which empty, into the Cape . Fear. : Weather Indications.

H. 8 wain, a Noted Horse Tblef or Brunswick County. . In the month of September, 1883, a young white man, by the name of W. H. Swain, a resident of Brunswick county, stole a horse from Mr. James Flowers, of Bladen county, and succeeded in effecting his escape into Georgia. At the time this theft took place Sheriff Taylor, of Bruns wick, had in hisj possession papers for the arrest of Swain on the charge of stealing a mule from a party in South Carolina,, An effort was made to capture the daring thief, but he-'was too ' sharp for' his pursuers. About, three weeks ago Swain ventured ' back into Brunswick county; the fact soon became whispered about, and yesterday a posse, consisting of . M. Williams, A. B. Williams, J. 8. Williams, S. J. Rowell, J. D, Butler, T. B. Chinnis and others, tracked him to the house of Mr. S. 8, Garrason, his brother- in-law, in Northwest township, near Sum- merville, and succeeded in capturing him. He was thereupon tied securely and kept m Uiftttrtodj.pf officers, while Mr. J. S. Williams was sent in haste for Mr. Flowers to come and attend a preliminary examina tion to be held before Justice W. L. Hall to-day. v Swain is a professional thief and a des perate fellow. - About twelve years ago he was tried for killing one Eli Cobb; colored; and subsequently he was tried in the Crim inal Court of this county, convicted and sentenced Io the Penitentiary for three years for stealing a pair of geese. He is about 28 years old. PUBLIC SPEAKING. Attention Democrats Appointments of Distinguished Speakers, . Hon. R. T.
