W. P. Roberts and Hon. Al. ri. Eure were among the number of arri vals in our city this week. The infant child of Mr. W. H. Brown, an enterprising citizen of our place, died Wednesday night last after a protracted and most painful illness. Quite a number, who were prevented on Saturdav bv the heavy weather, came to town on Monday, making trade lively with the merchants for a while. Read the advertisement of R. J.

Bar Special services are nightly held in the M. E. church. The Minister and officers of the church extend cordial invitation to members of other congregations to meet with them. In the temporary absence of Rev. R. A. Armstead, Rev. J. Wm. Lee conducts the meetings. The Naer's Head Excursion, which was advertised to leave last Saturday was postponed until to-morrow, when the Str. Hamilton will leave, as now advertised, to spend three days at the beach. The trip promises to be a pleas ant one and we hope as many as can. will ro and eniov the last "Dip" for this season in the old Atlantic. The Surveyors provided for in an order for survey, made in the case of Roberts et als vs Hettrick at our last Superior I Court, have been actively at work this week defining indefinite lines, making chops, etc., for the convenience of par ties to the action as well as for purpose of expediting the attainment and devel opment of the justice and equities invol ved in the case. The large quantity of lumber which we see dailv hauled through our streets indicates the building boom to be on the increase. With two large mills, fur nishing material in convenient quanti ties and at prices moderate, our people without excuse if they fail inbuild- incr improvements such as will add both to the comfort and appearance of their dwellings as well as other property. Wednesdav was the anniversary of that startling phenomenon which shook Charleston and the country surrounding and filled the orld with sadness seldom chronicled by the press. While the earth trembled as if internally ingaged in general war the affects of the dread ful commotion was only partially felt in rAienton. weconsiuereu umacjvw favored then and we trust, being no less favored now, in that, the whole country I is exempt from calamity, we may at lAARfc be thankful and ready in demon- Fresh Beer, on tap, daily.

The revival meeting in the colored Methodist church is still in progress. Tuesday night, by appointment, Rev. J. Wm. Lee preached for the Pas! or. A tremendous crowd gathered, filling the church to its utmost capacity. Many unable to get in the house, (all, even the standing room being occupied) were compelled to stand on the outside of the building facing the doors and windows. Mr. Lee was at himself and delivered one of the most affective, sensible ser mons we ever heard from him. His argument was full and convincing and brought forth every admissible demon I st rati on of approval. A large number I of white people filled the galleries of the i building who listened to the discourse with attention marked with interest which, from the begining to the close, was unabating. The meeting continues from night to night. Several colored ministers are present, notable among them is Rev. G. W. Lee, D. D., of Wash ington, D. C, who, as we have said on former occasions, ranks among the very foremost of his raee in our State as a pulpit orator. He is a native Carolinian and like all the rest of his race, who, are to the manor born, he demonstrates qualities of mind and character which, to ns at least, appear almost decidedly peculiar. BOLD ROBBERY. On Wednesday night a thief, supposed to have been the man who was arrested for an all ray on the excursion train from Norfolk, Monday last, and who was released from custody, entered the Bay View saloon while the proprietor was in an adjoining room, and took from the money drawer change amounting to cS 50. Other money was in the drawer but was left in his harry to make good his escape. On being detected, he sprang from tha houso andtho igh hotly chased' by -several pursuers fo several souares he succeeded in illud iug them all au l is no-v at !ar.': This pam man attends -d to "beat bis way" to Norfolk ou the freight train that morning by secreting himself in a car but the ever aleit Conductor detec ted the fox and bounced him when dis tant from town only a mile or so. BURNED TO DEATH. We hear through private sources that that a young girl, Miss Lizzie Steiger, of E. City, who was badly burned Wednesday morning by kerosine explo sion died, from the effects of injuries received, yesterday. AFFRAY AT NAG'S HEAD. Tuesday night last a cutting affray occured at Nags Head. Two negioefe Edward Nixon and Charles Good win were the parties participant. The latter was badly lacerated. It seems that one ol them while drunk and, in the act of passing the other, fell against him, there upon harsh words ensued resulting in the drawing of a knife by the drunk man who inflicted two severe wounds iu the throat and a stab in the temple of the other. There being no Justice at hand Nixon made his escape ere a warrant was iss ued for his arrest. CONSIDERATE.
