This department is, of course, the
most beautiful of all and is very taste
fully arranged.
In the art department Miss Aurora
Mace, Mies Carrie Rhem and Miss Rob
erts have very fine exhibits. A sketch
from a scene on the banks of the Trent
river by Miss Mace is very creditable,
and shows remarkable talent. Mr. Ed.
Gerrock also has a fine display of paint
ings in the hallway, and we wish to re
mind the visitor that tho work displayed
in this line was done by home ta'.cnt.
not borrowed.
Mr. S.-helby, architect and builder,
also had a fine drawing of a plan of a
bridge across Xeuse river near Xew
Berne. This a thing that the people
long to see a reality.

FOURTH DAY
LIEUT. WINSLO WS ADDRESS.
OTHER EXHIBITS AND
PREMIUMS AWARDED.
The fourth and last clny of the Fair
was the moet pleasant of all. but, as
was expected, less number of visiters.
The gates were opened to the children
at 1 o'clock yesterday and a large num
ber went through and took a look at the
exhibits. At 11 o'clock Lieut. Winslow
of the U. S. Navy, delivered a highly
instructive address upon the subject of
oyster culture. We expect to publish it
in full in a few days. It ha,9 been sug
gested, and the suggestion is a good
one. that the Fair Association have it
published in pamphlet form. It is well
written and was well delivered. It is
a good document to circulate.
There were many meritorious exhibits
in the ladies department that were
omitted in yesterday's issue, among
them, lambrequin and strawberry
paper rack by Mrs. Wm. Cohen: table
rack by Miss Augusta Cohen, conti
nental currency, bill of 1775 by Mrs.

al implements, also a steam engine at
work which help to give im industrial;
hum to the occasion. Geo. Allen & Co. !
had a fine exhibit of agiicultural im
plements; Geo. Fisher had his patent
swing, which is quite an institution, in
full sway; C. T. Randolph had band-;
some buggies put up at his own shop. ;
and B. B. Davenport exhibited a dog
cart. 1
In the old academy building was a j
nice collection of flowers, though not:
large on account of the disagreeable,
weather. John Dunn held forth in this
building with a fine collection of his
confectioneries, and in the opposite end j
was a restaurant where rysters. coffee, :
tea and other eatables were to be had.

but the committees have failed to hand
us their report. We will be pleased to
publish all the premiums awarded, and
wi 1 take it as a favor if the committees
who have awarded the same will favor
us with a copy of their reports.
At 7 p. m. the President. Mr. Geo. I
' Allen, declared the Fair closed and the
gates were thrown open and the' work
ef removing the exhibits began.
ine ladies have responded nobly in
preparing an exhibit that has done
cred.tto our city. The Journal will
ever be ready to aid them in any lauda
ble undertaking. We trust that this is
tr.e beginning of a new era for New
Berne. Let us resolve to Ruccaed iu
whatever we undertake; it requires only
unify of purpose and concert of action
to do this, and if we do it we will soon 1
be in the front rank of North Carolina
towns in prosperity and wealth.
Editor Journal: Please allow a
visitor to your recent Fair to express the
very great pleasure enjoyed by him
w hen attending it.
There was not one thing to mar the '
pleasure of the occasion. Everything I
was in its place and everything was
wel l worth seeing.
There cannot be now. if there ever I
was. anv doubt whatever as to the rp- !
sources of the country around Xew :
Berne. And I am very sure, that there '
can be no doubt as to the hospitality, j
Uiaunes and wholebeartednese of New
Berceans.
When I became wearied in body, i
while walking about inspecting the va.
rious beautiful exhibits, I found a most
hoarty welcome in the "editorial room"
of the Journal on tho second floor.
I there we found, beside welcome, rest
i and refreshments.
! Let us have another Fair next year.
Let us have a combination of the coun
ties around Craven; and, it is very
plain, that these counties could make
such a show of fish, game, oysters, tim
ber and numberless other resources that
would open the eyes of visitors from a
distance and prove that in deed and
truth. Eastern North Carolina is the
"garden spot" of the United States.

The Dog- Once More.
Me. Editor: 1 have never
written anything for the public to
read, but I feel just now, after
reading of Mrs. Hogan's trouble
with the dog find her unneighborly
neighbor, that I want to tell her I
truly sympathize with her, aud be
lieve she will have the sympathy
ot every farmer's wife, and the
farmer should have the same feel
ing. They all like eggs and fried
chicken, and who is to furnish
them but the good wife, by her
never ceasing care and watchful
ness and battling with tho good for
nothing suck egg dogs. Utit it
seems some of the men are slow to
investigate aud help remove the
trouble. No one inexperienced,
kuows the aonoyance these dogs
give. Few can estimate the loss
of eggs and chucked they alone
cause. I have had three nests
robbed in as many days; one hen
would have hatched iu a few days.
Poor old hen ! She chicked around
the yard all day. the only way she
had to express her disappointed
hope. When I found that a large
setting of eggs I had placed under
a favorite hen in, as I supposed, a
secure place, had all been sucked
next dy after placing them there,
by a worthless houn.1, 1 wished
well, I wished for the privilege of
feeding our 'law makers" for
awhile. I don't think they would
get either eggs or fried chicken,
by me. 3Iy neighbor's experience
with the dogs equals mine.
Zs'ow will you or some of your
many readers please suggest a plan
of defence? The Judge's charge
was "kill no more dogs. They
had a right to co where they
pleased." Yes, they have unlimi
ted privilege to go, to steal, to kill
antl eat. iuere is no law to reacu ,
the kingly dog, the most favored ol !
nil stock ; no matter if he is a t hief.
there is no way to get redress. Our
'law makers'' consider the dog a
small thing too unpopular a sub
ject to legislate on. Every negro
family has a dog. Some white
families have dogs. 1 wonder if
any one can tell of the good these
lean, long, lank, roving hounds
are halt' enough to balance the
evil and annoyance they cause.
Is there no hope of relief ? lap
peal for help ; who will immortalize
himself by coining to our rescue ?

To I iili.e Niag-aru.
A somewhat startling proposition
in connection with tho general sub
ject of the transmission of energy
to a distance by electricity waa ad
vanced by that eminent engineer,
the late Charles W. .Seimens of
Londem, who, in 1S77, expressed
conviction that by this means tbe
enormous energy of tho falling
water at Niagara might bo trans
ferred to New York City, and there
utilized for mechanical purposes.
In 1S7'J, Sir William Thompson,
tho electrician, publicly asserted
his belief in the possibility, by
means of an insulated copper wire,
half an inch in diameter, of taking
2G,000 horse power from water
wheels driven by the falls, and of
delivering 21,000 horse power at a
distance of 300 statute miles.
lie estimated that the cost of
copper for the line would be less
15 per horse power of energy
actually delivered at the remote
station. While Sir William may
be regarded as somewhat of an en
thusiast, and has occasionally
manifested a tendency to present
matters of this kind in a sensa
tional light, ,et it cannot be looked
upon as especially improbable that
the realization ot this apparently
chimerical project will be vjnessed
by persons now living.
