They had been running a large store in this city, one in Raleigh and one in Knoxville Tenn.

Frankie is 7 years old. i The funeral was Thursday morning at 10 o’clock from the Second Presbyte rian Church, WILMINGTON LETTER. The little city of sand still lives' and peace reigns within her borders. The State Giand Lodge of Masons coriven J here, on the 13th inst., m the Masons Hall, with Grand Master, Stewart Ellison of Raleigh, presiding. The Grand Lodge is composed of some of the most intelligent, wealthy, and find looking men within North Caroli na. After a pleasant and profitable session, and a fine street display of Masonic grandeur, the Masons aud ci ! tizons assembled at St. Stephen's A. M. E. Church, where two most elo ! quent orations were enjoyed from Past Grand Master J. W. Telfair, and j State Solicitor Geo. 11. White. Mr. ! White’s was a Masterly, scholarly, ! deep, soul stirring effort. Ilis ges | tures, in them selves, spoke volumes, and so great became his enthusiasm, that for a while the query went round i“ls he a Methodist Minister?” Mr. White paid women, some most glow ing tributes ; after which, every young lady wished to “rise up, and call him, blessed ;” and the speaker sat down, amid doafining applause. At evening, a grand Masonic Fair, under the man j agement of Messrs Jno. Holloway, j Daniel Howard, Robt. Harriss, Misses J. A. Arney, Sarah L. Taylor, M. J. Malletto, and Maggie L. Whiteman, was held at the City Hall. The hall, was most picturesquely dressed to rep resent the pino forests of Nortli Caro lina. Miss E. F. Hooper conducted the music. ’Twas simply grand! Mr. W. Pearson of Durham N. C. North Carolina’s comming orator; and the Craft’s pearl, displayed the finest orat orical powers, were seen in so young a man, and raised the girl’s hopes, to their zenith. Oh, the “damsels” too were fair to look upon that bight. The smoke from the different con fcrential battles, has cleared away at last, the enemy has been made to beat a hasty retreat. Commanders, and privates have gone to their respective posts, for the ensuing year,and again, all is quiet along the Cape Fear. The M. E. Conference, which conven ed in Fayetteville, enjoyed a pleasant and profitable session ; yet its sky was darkened ; for death, in all its grim ness and determination, stole three shinsng lights from the conference, ere its adjournment. The A. M. E. Conference, over which, Rt. Rev. Bishop Cauipbelljpresided, convened at! Warrenton, N. C. Rev and Hon. 11. i M. Epps was sent to St. Stephens Church, here, and Newberne, dear old New Herne, is to he congratulated on receiving Rov. A. J. Chambers. The A. M. E. Z. Conference met at Wash ington N. C. with Rt, Rev. Bishop Thompson in the chair. Wilmington is to congratulate itself on again hav ing Rev. J. B. Small sent to lead it to the “Promised Land.” Rev. Jno. Collette of Baltimore, Md. formerly of Wilmington, paid his old home a visit, iu company with the affable and lovely Mrs. Collette, during the month of Nov. He s another prince who has come out of Egypt, as he proved on the evening of December’ Bth ’B7, when for sixty minutes, he held fifteen hun dred people spell-bound, in St. Stephen’s Church. We would like to comment on Rev. Collett’s sermon, which was written under inspiration at his sainted father’s grave ; but words (our words) are inadequate, and sound paltry. The Rev’s, theme was “Rt. Rev. Bishop Allen, the founder of African Methodism.” Magnificent! grand! eloquentsublime! True! For hi while, during the discourse, one would imagine himself, by a cool, gently rippling overflowing brook, with shade trees all around, flowers at his feet, and singing birds in the branches; then, shortly after, a terrible thunder storm, in all its majes ty and grandeur raged. The orator ical, deep-voiced thunder roared, and the Ncgroe’s advancement was painted in bright colors, by a pen of seeming electricity. When the speaker sat down.no one dared speak ; and silence reigned in St. Stephen for the space of three minutes. The eulogy paid Rt. Rev. Jas. A. Shorter, by one of North Carolina’s brightest stars now shining in the intellectual sky,—(Rev. iA. J. Chambers,) at the annual Con fercnco, was the finest we’ve ever had or read. In a few lines, every thing ( was said, and nothing left unsaid. It was beautifully striking, appropriate \ and powerful. Mauoik L Whiteman. 1 Wilmixoton. N.
