As early as it is the posters for the next exhibition of the East Carolina Fair to be held in February, have been ordered over six thousand of them. Tlie Fair has lor several years led in getting the Guest posb-rs that come to this State for fair ad vertising purposes and this year il is ahead of anything that has ever been Or dered yet by any fair in the State f r advertising purposes. The posters nrejjis line ns ever and the largest ones have never before been equalled by itself or any other fair in the State. The posters will come from Cincinnati. They are in Ave colors aud well executed. Six sizes will be used. The largest ones will be equal in size and sbowiiiess to re gular circus posters. They are practically seven by sevtn li-et. The exact size is 82 inches wide and 8i inches hit; h. They cost seventy dollars per bundled and aie so large thnt each bill will come iu six separate sheets. The next size 33 inches x (59 is a lnrge ami e.egant poster. It is the largest that has been used heretofore but it lacks con siderable of equalling the best ones lbr this year. Then there are some 29x43, 15x40, :mil0.x42 in regular style, and an oddity iu the shape of one about 2Jx3 feet.

The steamer was sighted following tlm schooner. No attention was paid to her id ti st, but at last it was noticed she wars signalling the schoonwi to stop. Dusectly after the signal mas observed, before the capjaiu made up hisniiuil what course to pursue, the first sliot was fired, comiotf. uncomfortably to the schooners main mast. The captaiu gave orders b Uiol ia sail antl hoist the American tfcig.
