The Visitor extends sympathies

Prompt Action.
The case ot the negro charged with
stealing clothing, etc, four miles from
Durham, was placed in the hands of
Sergeant John D Thompson of the
police force in this city, to work up.
and upon information received om
cers Woodall and Bashford arrested
Will Wright who claimed to be from
Richmond, Va, and confessed to the
theft. Sergeant Thompson sent off!
cer Woodall to the house of Wright'i
wif. out at Col Turk's place. The
officer was accompanied by Wright.
and the stolen clothing and part of
the jewelry were found. Sergeant
Thompson then obtained information
upon which he found the watch and
chain. The watch had been traded
to Mr Hartsfleld of this city and the
watch chain had been traded to Mr
Han Harris. AH the goods were
secured except one cuff button and
black hat. These goods belonged to
W A Dawson, Esq, and Frank Gun
ler, (colored.
We cannot too highly commend the
perseverance and energy of Sergeant
Thompson, and officers Bashford and
WnndaltV in this case. They have
shown themselves to be most faith
t ul in the line of their duty for which
deserve and will receive the
,nor.kl thanks of our people. "We
done, good and faithful servants."

Pullen Park.
We have been informed that last
Sunday while some ladies were out at
ullen Park seated near the spring,
some men near oy were engaged in
conversation, and their language was
so obscene and vulgar that they were
compelled to leave the place to avoid
hearing it. Would it not be well for
the city to furnish an officer at least
on the Sao oat n to iook atter tne
park.

of by the Reidsville Review in the

We sincerely hope that the proposi
tion to reorganize the Toung Men's
Christian Association will not be al
lowed to lag for want of proper en
couragement. It should be borne in
mind that Raleigh is much behind
some other towns in the State in this
most imporant matter, and it is noth
ing to our credit as a moral commun
ity that it should be so. On Sunday,
the 27th inst, Governor Fowle has
consented to deliver an address to
the young men of the city on the
subject, and we hope that this will
prove an incentive to such exertion
as will ensure success. The fact is,
Raleigh should not only havea well
organized Young Men's Christian As-
ociation, but we hope the day is not
far distant when it can boast of a
suitable building for tne purpose
with a good library and other induce
nients as a resort for all young men
disposed to follow in the paths of
morn lit y. Let our people take hold
of this matter in earnest, and success
is certain.
A Kind Act.
Mr D L Shively, who for several
yaar3 has been a citizen of our city,
and who enjoys the fullest confidence
of all our people left yesterday for
Philadelphia where he is to undergo
treatment in consequence, of a ner
vous trouble from which he has suf
fered very great inconvenience for
the last few months. Most of our
readers know that he was severely
wounded during the war between the
States. At that time he was under
the immediate care of Dr S Weir
Mitchel who was' the Surgeon of the
regiment in which MrSchively served
but who now it seems is in charge of
a hospital in Philadelphia. A short
time ago Dr Mitchel issued a circular
of inquiry having special reference to
those severely wounded soldiers un
der his treatment at the time above
referred to. Upon receiving informa
tion relative to Mr Shively, he imme
diately invited him to enter his In
firmary and be treated till recovery,
without money and without price.
Such kindness is to be commended and
we but voice the sentiment of our
citizens when we express our ap
preciation of this favor shown to one
of our fellow citizens. We trust our
good friend will soon be well again
and returned to us more thoroughly
equipped for continued usefulness.
Fairview Farm.
We are in receipt of a most elegant
ly gotten up descriptive catalogue of
highly bred stock owned by Mr B P
Williamson, of this city and kept on
his splendid Fairview Farm about
two miles northwest of the State
Capitol. . This is the first instance
within our knowledge in which such
a catalogue has been issued in this
vicinity and the list of "thorough
breds" owned by Mr Williamson will
be perused with great zeal by all
who take an interest in fine stock.
The accommodating proprietor is
anxious to have the public visit his
farm and see for themselves the won
derful improvements in stock that
have been added of late years compris
ing offsprings of some of the most
celebrated horses in the country. Not
only does be solicit the attendance of
visitors, but with his usual urbanity,
he says he will be glad to meet them,
on notification at the depot or the
hotels and accompany them ' for the
purpose of giving all information de
sired. Mr Williamson can be truly said to
be the pioneer in introducing blood
ed horses in this section of North
Carolina, and, we are pleased to say
that his efforts have been crowned
with the greatest success. Indeed it
has now become proverbial that
Wake county has the lead in this re
spect over all the counties in the
State.
Fairview Farm is one of the great
attractions in the vicinity of Raleigh,
and no Btranger should omit the op
portunity of visiting it. It will cer
tainly be a source of pleasure as well
as of Information. i :

Our Street Crossings.
We are not disposed to be captious
but we must think that there is great
room for nn improvement in the con
dition of our street crossings. The
remedy, it would seem, is a simple
one, and wny it is not applied is a
little hard to understand. The cross
ings are entirely too low, being in a
large majority of cases lower than
the streets. They should be raised,
and on each side of the crossings
should ibe inclined planes for the
protection of the wheels of vehicles
This could ba easily done with but
comparatively little cost and would
be of the greatest advantage to pe
destrians in such weather as we have
had for the past few days. As it is
now, the crossings are almost impas
sible. and is anything but a credit to
the city.
