Female Benevolent Society Sermon. i ne annual sermon netore tue rcniuic Benevolent Society, was preache Sunlay mgut in the Presbyterian church, in union meeting of the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian congregations, ami a collection taken up as usual for the benefit of the society. The ser mon dealt with existing conditions and relations between employees and employ ere how the latter are often responsible, sometimes unintentionally for hardships, by seeking to get work performed for less than its real worth. He cited low prices paid to seam tresses tor shop work and laid the blame not simply on the one's paying the prices but on those whose exactions in purchasing caused such sharp rivalry. He used an illustration nlso of a lalor ing mau a carpenter, one who gets fair average wages, say $1.50 or $1.75 per day. The man has a family a wife and two or three children. Out of that small sum hejias to -neet all expenses, and is likely to find it close work to do i , a rain comes, a days labor is gone, oue sixth ot that week's increase is cut uff. During the cold weatbr several weeks income gone the man gets in debt in the near time and has to begin again and not only keep up expenses but pay arrearages then if sickness comes, especially if it be wage earner, the trouble is multiplied. The illustration was plain, but from it Mr. Yardell went on to other gcxxl people for whom the lines had fallen in even less pleasant places and thereon to those whose troubles were largely brought on by themselves or those connected with theiu by intoxicating drink or otherwise. He was severe on those having thus, and unsparing in reference to those who place or ke"p temptation in their way or vho assist others in doing so. Female Benevolent Society Report.

A citizen of Stella writes us the follow ing account of a revival just held at that place: "On tue J2d, Mrs. J. D. Carpenter, the clear, efficient and pathetic lady revivalist bevan at Stella, a, series of meetings, which lasted until the night of Jan. 31st.

Pea planting is all the go now, pota toes wUl follow in a few days. We are under the impression that there will be more potatoes planted aromd Cove this Spring than last. "The place you lost it is the place to find it," we hope such to be the case this year, one more such as last will "bust" us sure. We have now five stores in Cove, sever al new buildings, one grist mill, one saw mill, two churches, one dozen pretty girls, half dozen new babies and seven teen aspirants for office. What we need now to make Cove a thriving little town is a good school. We have now between the age of six and twenty-one years one hundred and thir teen children in this District. Should all attend, it would be impossible to get standing room in the house we now use. let us have a house larger and two teach ers or divide the District. We noticed while in Trenton a few days ago a lemon bush hanging with fruit. It is the prooertv of Miss Jennie Windley. We knew Miss Jennie could make good music but we had no idea she was an expert in raising lemons. These are the first we have ever seen in these parts, land it certainly! must have taken a great deal deal of care to save them during the late cold weather. On the 1st inst we had the pleasure of attending the marriage of Mr. G. E' Charlton, late of Cove, now of New Berne, and Miss Hattic E. Waters of your city.

V Das been so large as to comfortably sup port a resident pension agent and his wife for the past two years. Several aggra vated cases have come personally under my knowledge, and it is easy to obtain a categorical statement of the entire list. Most of the pensions have been grafted to negroes who were only scavengers on the outskirts of the army during the Fed eral occupation here. Charles Hallock. Reward for Murderers Arrest.

It is in no spirit of invidious compar ison, or in carping mood, that we allude to the fact that for many years the unnual fairs in the State were very much like the traveling show principally a matter of glaring posters and glittering promises, that, very much to the dis gust of the deceived, sadly lacked reali zation. Five years ai;o, realizing that this section, possessing as it did a wealth ot treasure, that needed but industrious in terest to nggrcgate in such to mi as would prove an obiect lesson and at tract attention to our almost unpar alleled resources, a numler of the very best citizens of New Berne come to gether and resolved that if time, money and persevercnee could accomplish it, a really meritorious and creuit:.: i dis play should be annually made, of boun teous nature's wealth, us will a products of the husbandman aiu skilled artificer. This high resolve was intelligently the the and promptly acted upon, and the first result of their efforts stamped the Eastern Car olina Fish, Oyster, Game and Industrial association a success. It at once took rank as perhaps the most unique, varied and altogether at tractive and instructive exhibitions ever seen in the State, it berame a fixed and permanent institution, the pride of New Berne anil her neighbors, and has annu ally attracted hundreds of visitors from remote parts of the country as well as the thousands nearer home. From thenceforward no effort, time or expense has I icon spared to increase its attractiveness.; ( ravi n and sister counties have shown a commendable interest, until each succeeding year has witnessed a marvelous growth ot scope and intent, and the approaching sixth occasion bids tair to be superior to all previous ones. and will rank with any similar exhibition in the south. While our section possesses an abun lanee of material, the exhibition of which made the eminence reached by this fair possible, yet, dormant as it so ong laid, it ri qui red the will and energy displayed by the fair managers to vitalize it, that it might be seen ot all members. In its entire twenty or more officials there is not a single stick of "dead wood," every one being a hustling, capable and intelligent gentleman, who makes the success of this institution of love's lalor" a matter of personal pride, and without any reward other than the consciousness of well doing. Pre-eminence in this admirable labor had been reached by President Win. Dunn and Secretary and Treasurer Chas. Reizo'nstein, whose intelligent manage ment and direction have done so much for the general success. To intelligently understand the scope and extent of the New Berne fair, a cursory refeience to some of its features and attractions will le in order. The premium list starts out with the comprehensive statement that the asso ciation "offers for progress in all the branches of industry and art, literal pre miums.' A new feature this viar will le a grand tournament, in which $100 in money prizes, and a numl-er of costly and useful articles as special prizes, will be given the successful knights. It is expected that this will be a very fine feature, the superior inducements leing sufficient to attract the very bost riders from all sections of the State. This pe culiarly southern, chivalric custom of 'ye ancient days" will on this occasion be made very attractive, not only to the participant but to the onlookers, and no tably so io "ye faire ladye" wh.) will watch with anxious eyes the bearing ol her gallant cavalier, hoping for his suc cess in the tourney, that she may wear the trophies won. In. the game department will be found nearly every land-and water fowl peculiar to this section, and an idea of the va riety can only be gained by seeing tbem. The exhibit of game animals will be very extensive, embracing bear, deer, panthers, wild cat, otter, teaTer and many other animals to be found in the State thus affording the student of natur al history an excellent opportunity of viewing at his leisure, what under other conditions and circumstances, might not be so pleasant an occupation. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the exposition is the fish exhibit. Here tofore it has attracted much attention, but this year, w ith a commodious separ ate building, devoted exclusively to this use, it is expected to make the ush dis play the handsomest and most varied to be seen in the United States. Handsome large glass tanks containing shining pebbles and growing aquatic plants, will exhibit many varieties of live fish dis porting in their native element; while others, the larger kind, may be seen rro-! zen-in mammoth blocks ol crystal ice,; through whose translucent density they shine and glisten in a truly attractive manner. In addition to these will be seen shark, porpoise, sturgeon and alligators, as well as a- magnificent col lection of oysters, clams, escallops, crabs, etc. An interesting feature will le a vari ety of man s most faithful companion, the affectionate dog; the noble St. Ber nard, the watchful mastiff, intelligent setters and pointers, the handsome New foundland, and in tact hne specimens ol nearly every worthy kind of dog. The farm and garden products and field crops are also a special and notable feature, there being always a full and handsome asssortmcnt of nearly every thing grown on our soil, and every ex hibit deserving to be a prize winner. Orchard products are not lost sight of and liberal inducements are offered for worthy displays. There is yearly coming to the front, and becoming a more noticeable feature, a fine class of blooded horses; and as Lenoir can give points to many counties in this line, it should be especially inter ested in this department. Liberal pre miums are offered for horses lor exhibi tion purposes, and when it is remem bered that transportation for stock on all railroads is free, there is every inducement to exhibit generously. The display of sheep, hogs, goats anil fine thoroughbred cattle will be extensive anil a leading attaction. This Fair has very deservedly earned the reputation of making the handsomest poultry exfiibit that has ever been seen in North Carolina. For the past tew years New Berne and vicinity has made the breeding of the finest class ot poultry a business specialty, and it is questiona ble if any part of our country can show finer specimens or greater variety than are shown at these exhibitions. This years famous Virginia breeder, will how ever, enter the, lists of competition, and purposes making a splendid effort to carry off the honors. We frequently seem the illustrated papers, pictures of an ill-clad man or boy, standing in front of the w indow of some confectionery or restaurant, gazing with wistful longing eves upon the good things there shown, but which are denied him, and we sprupathize in spirit with the un fortunate This is very much the condi tion of the visitor to the culinary depart ment of the New Berne lair. It tairly revels in the most tempting and delicious edibles; golden butter, choice dned fruits, honey, jellies, preserves, marmalades, wine, cider, brandy, fruits, cakes, pies and pastry, and every toothsome thing that has made the fair women of North Carolina so famous as houskeepers and caterers to man's most fastidious appe tite. For the practical man of business the attraction of a distinct manufacturing hall exists, in which may be seen a won nerful variety of the most approved machinery at work, showing the manu facture of many kinds of useful and orna mental articles and in their various stages. Amog these attractions are two ot especial interest, that now leing at the World's Fair are coming to New Be mo for this occasion, afterwards rerurning to Chicago. One is a system of entirely new design and methd, that produce the most novel results from wood. The othei is a new silk loom of wonderful I construction upon which will be woven, J before the eyes ol the onlookers, leauti. fill World's Fair souvenirs, in the diape of badges or book marks that will have I pictures upon them in silken threads of the "Landing of Columbus" and other I appropriate designs. I The deftness of finger and beaut v of I design are nowhere seen to greater per- lecuon man in ine lames lam-v nee lu work exhibit; the skill, the patience ;lM,l .m.(. tancnul imagery, that calls into e.xiste the many things of beauty here shown, is truly marvelous; it is at the same time a ' striking proof of the refinement audi delicacy of thought that characterizes the lovely women of our State. There is more real artistic skill in ' iorin t. arolina than it is generalv credit ed with, and the New Berne Fair affords an excellent opportunity for its display and appreciation. Each year shows ail increase in the number of pictures, and improvements in color and design. Lenoir county's "Kinsey Seminary'" is al ways a pleasing and conspicuous exhibi tor, and adds very much to the success of this department. Paintings in oil, water color and pastel, crayon drawings and decorated china and fancy article as pretty a view as one need to look upon. One of the largest rooms in the main building, on these annual occasions, be comes a veritable 'bower of of beauty.'' Under the carefnl and intelligent manage ment of Mr. George Henderson, its direc tor, assisted by a corps of enthusiastic ladies, the floricultural exhibit is a glimpse of fairy land, with its soft, splashing miniature fountains, whose ful ling spray showers blooming planU and grasses, and row upon row and graceful pyramids of choicest plants and flowi rs arise one above another, making the air redolent of sweet odors, and gladdening the vision with multitints and vivid colors; with "tropic fruits growing on the parent tree, and beautiful floral designs almunding everywhere, floral hall becomes at once a delight to all the senses, and a rememberance of how lovely nature is when its products are choicely culled and artistically arranged. An unique exhibit will be the applian ces used by the life saving service in re cuing ship-wrecked people. Generous inducements are offend for the display of the various minerals of: h. Mate; of it woods, its botanical speci mens; and the site of the exhibition, being adjacent to the ocean, the chochological exhibit is always fine; shells of every shape, color aud tint may be seen, and in their hollow recesses may be heard the sullen roar ot ocean. New Berne and vicinity is peculiarly the home of choice relics of historic in terest, many articles, of Revolutionary and pre-Revolutionary times are on these oc casions kindly loaned by their fortunate possessors, and they call up to the fancy of the student of history and those of a reminiscent cast of thought, the days of Gov. Tryon, Esther Wake and the minia ture court, as well as the days of anxiety anil suffering of the Revolution. To rhe lovers of sport, and who does not love a fine horse and good racing, the trials of speed will be the 'crowning event at this exhibition. $2,000 will be given in , purses for a series of trotting and runniug races, and this unusually noerai lnuucement, it is Pelicvcu. wib result in some of the finest races ever seen in North Carolina. The entries already made give prom ises of some very interesting events, and lovers of this sport may safely anticipate a gala time. The track is a fine one; and a magnificent grand stand, capable ol holding 3,000 people will afford the most ample accomodation. An interesting feature of the races will be a trotting dog, who goes in harness and will trot againse time and horses. There will be a worker in clay, who with his "potter's wheel," fabricates the prettiest things imaginable, and whose deft skill attracts every one. There will be genuine plantation scenes of the old time; rustic home industries in operation, and a thousand and one other minor attractions. There will be four balloon ascensions by a lady who, on each occasion when iD mid-air, will drop to the earth by a para chute. Altogether the sixth annual exhibition of the East Carolina Fish, Game and In dustrial Association at New Berne, com mencing the 20th of Februry and lasting all the week, will be a notable one, to which everybody is invited and will be well cared for. No games of chance or gambling de vices are permitted on the grounds or vicinity, nor are intoxicating drinks sold. Ample restaurant accomodation will be afforded: the lowest excursion tickets will lc sold on railroad and steamboat lines, and every inducement offered to insure the fullest attendance nnd render the occasion what it deserves to be a pro nounced success. Kinston Free Press. A Typical Tale of Southern Outrage. New Berne. N. C. is a ouiet. orderly City, devoted to liberty, business and the-" 1 . - i pursuit ol happiness, anil those who know its reputation in this regard were amazed to read in the North Carolina papers recently that a colored thief named R. O. Dent had been lynched in its pnncipal sireets a few days ago aud his body left dangling to the tree to which he was hanged. The New Berne Daily Current, in an article describing the occurrence, gives R. O. Dent a very bad name, and recites. in justification of his summary taking off a long list of evil deeds of which he had been gnity. According to the Current, he was one of a gang of notorious thieves who had infested the city for some time and had managed with extraordinary cunning to elude the vigilance of the lo cal detectives, "lhe nefarious opera tions of the gang," says the Current, were not confined to any special locality, but covered the entire area of our city. No home was safe from the depredations of these raaurauders. Bolts, locks and bars could not exclude them, and having se lected the site of operations. It seemed an easy task for them to saw through boards and doors. It is a singular fact, however, that in almost every case of their burglarious operations the gany never took any cloth ing, but confined themselves to the steal ing of provisions." The leader w is cap tured on a recent Sunday morning while he was boldly walking down the street, probably on his way to church. He was recognized by one of his victims, and the enraged citizens aljowed no religious con sideration to prevent the execution of im mediate vengeance. The fellow- was at once bound and hanged to the nearest tree, and his corpse was left there for twenty-four hours as a warning to his wicked associates. It should le added, however, in jus tice to the citizens of Now Berne, that Mr. R. O. Dent, though a gentleman of unmistakable color, had four feet and ft long tail and is generallyjknown as rodent, tor short. News being dull in New Berne on the day when the rogue met his tragic fate, the local reporter wrote up the death of a huge and audacious rat from a humor ous point of view, carefully concealing its tail until the end, where it peeped out under the formal designation adopted. This story of a lynching in New Berne is shown, therefore, to be no better foun ded than many other stories of the same kind that are published about simiar oc currences in that section. The tale of R. O. Dent should be laid to heart by the sectional partisans who are so eager to credit injurious reports of mob violence in the South. Very fre quently, it they will examine such cases carefully they will smell a rat, even it U. O. Dent does not appear in the capital letters. We tender the people of New Berne our sincere congratulations tnat noming more tragic than the lynehing of a lodent has disturbed the quiet of that pretty aud energetic little city. Baltimore Sun.
