THE VISITING FIREMF.V. The freight train arrived yesterday morning at 8:15, on special schedule, bringing Mayor Hall of the city of Wilmington, the Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Co. No." 1 with officers, E. Parmele, Foreman, W. C. Von Glahn, 1st Assistant, Martin Newman, 2nd Assistant E. W. Manning, En gineer, Louis Wacksmuth, Assistant En gineer, and a band of seventeen musi cians; the Eclipse steam Fire Engine Co., of Goldsboro, with officers, J. W. Lamb. Foreman, M. Witherington, 1st Assistant, W. T. Yelverton, 2nd Assist ant, J. Strauss, Engineer, J. Parker, Assistant Engineer, and a band of twelve musicians. They were met at the depot by the Atlantic and New Berne companies and a large number of the citizens of this city. Mayorjtleadows escorted Mayor Hall in carriage, and the lire companies were escorted by, our firemen to the Gaston House; where the formal recep tion was tendered by Chief Engineer Moore on the part of the firemen and Mayor Meadows on the part of tl'.e citi zens. , Mr. Mowesaid: Gentlemen of the WUminaton and Qoldsboro Steam Fire Engine Com vanies: It is more a pleasure than duty, as Chief Engineer of the Fire Department of New Berne, that I welcome you to our City of Elms. The interchange of visits, of which we had the happy occa sion to inaugurate between our sister cities, not only conduces to the creation of a commendable spirit of emulation, but also to one of a kindly social feeling wlncn 1 trust may be ever tostered. As one of the participants of your generous and unbounded hospitality and in be half of the fire department and citizens of this city, I can have no desire or am bition greater than the hope that we may be able to entertain you as well as you did us while your guest. lienuemen, l welcome you and trust that while witn us you will teel pertect ly at home, I now take pleasure in in troducing to you our honored Mayor, E. a. Meadows. Mayor Meadows said: Gentlemen of the Wilmington and Golds bovo lire Vepartments: I greet you with my most earnest compliments, and beg to assure you in behalf of this community of its supreme gratification at your accepting the invi tation extended by our nremen for a friendly contest of fire apparatus. May the contest be such that the vanquished may feel as proud of their efforts as the victor their laurels. " This city desires to unite wjth its gal lant firemen in their welcome and hos pitality to such . heroic organizations from the metropolitan an! railroad city of North Carolina." To do honor to firemen is a time-honored custom. It is to them every com munity appeals for protection when the hand of the fire fiend has escaped the vigilance of the trusty watchman, thus should we be ever mindful of their wishes and anticipate their wants, for in that degree we appreciate their efforts, we advance the interest and dignity of our cities. . The typical fireman of to-day stands in strong contrast with his brother of twenty years ago. Heroism and subor dination to discipline is the pride of to day of every member of your Depart ments from driver to chief. The ring ing of bells, the conflict of authority and confusion worse confounded, were then dangerous to peace and order, as much to be feared as the devouring ele ments. :''t V-'-'-V; .,--:,.' The events and recollections of to-day will cluster around this devoted city, and in later years when we shall have passed away will stimulate other sons to pursue your record and organizations. i welcome you to the cooling waves of the c'assitt Neuse where they mingle with the waters of the Trent on their way to ine sea. : l welcome you to our sheil roads and elm groves. I welcome you to lam city where fair woman is always fairest in her beauty and nre men are ever true to duty. ' uentlemen, you require no introduc tion to our hearthstones, your good name is in advance of you; your pass port is foreman, and the. "latch string bangs on the outside. " . . JNew Berne Firemen, the honor of entertaining this distinguished guest , is - upon you; sustain the reputation . of your ancient city; Let the spirit of the lamented Radcliff and Ellis be aroused within you; so that when their stay 'shall have ended they may carry with them the fondest recollections of old Elm City. Without detaining you longer, I tender you the freedom of the city, and above all the cordial hospitality of our homes and hearts. - , ' At the conclusion of Mayor Meadows' address the Wilmington band rendered a piece of excellent music, which was complimented by many. Mayor Hall wfis loudly called for. He did not expect a gill at this stage of the pro- ceedings and was therefore compiled to deliver an impromptu Address, which are generally the best, and on this occa sion was very, appropriate He spoke in Bubstance as follows: ' ' Jlfr. Mayor and Firemen of the City of Jew uernc: In behalf of the representatives of the city of Wilmington, the' firemen, I de sire to return our warmest thanks for this magnificent reception. Wilming ton and .-Ne"w Bernel ever since North Carolina was first settled those two names have been prominent in its his tory. , Their interests are the same (' h' ppn1iirn,ntl, tV"'r i,,i"c), fci? thi Gaston, Stanley, Donnells and Manly and others we by our Dudley, Ashe, Moores and Meares all animated by State pride, a chivalrous devotion to virtue and duty, how could there be any difference? May it always be ao. May our hearts always beat as one for the honor and interest of dear old North Carolina. . My recollections and associations are of a mixed character of pleasure and pain. Twenty-five or mqre years ago I led a Wilmington Volunteer Company to participate in the celebration of the completion of your railroad. Well do I recollect the delights we had in par ticipating in your magnificent hospital ity. The second time I visited you, the clouds of war were about bursting over your heads, the step of the invader was at your threshold; men from all points of the State rushed here to oner up their lives, if need be, in your de fence. But alas, our efforts were futile. The last time was equally ominous. In 1868, when the dark cloud of recon struction was engulfing all that we held dear, in its nauseous folds, I was sent here as the standard bearer of the white men in North Carolina to bid you be of good cheer; then all was not lost as long we were true to ourselves. Though thirty thousand of our truest citizens were disfranchised, and then I was leading a forlorn hope, yet all was not lost. We must not yield our man hood ; we must meet danger square in the face and fight the good fight for the supremacy of the Anglo Saxon race. How well we fought, how well we en dured, is evidenced now in the happy consolidation of our people and the bright prospects of the future. May all prosperity attend your good old town. Now, Mr. Mayor, you sent last year a splendid specimen of your firemen to visit us. Truly and grandly did they do their duty. New Berne should be proud of them. We now return you our compliments. We leave them to speak for themselves, and ladies look on them, don't be afraid of them, they are as brave as lions, but as harmless as a doye. l present them to you; taey are the pick of Wilmington. We, at least, are proud of them. Again accept our thanks for this splendid welcome. At 12 o'clock a bounteous repast was spread at Weinstein Hall, where the visitors were handsomely entertained, impromptu speeches made and the time passed off happily. LAYING THE CORKER STONE. At 5 o'clock the visiting firemen and the New Berne companies assembled on Broad street in full uniform and march ed to the Academy Ltreen to assist in the ceremonies of laying the corner stone of the new school building. The W. M. Grand Master of Masons, Robert Bingham, having granted a dis pensation to the W. M. of St. John's Lodge No. 3, Mr. A. W. Wood, the Grand Lodge was convened in special session with the following officers: A W.,Wood as Grand Master; T. A. Henry D. G. M.; C. W. B. Beckwi'th, S. G. W, H. Hackburn, J. G. W.; T. A.Green G. T.; E. G. Hill, G.S.; Rev. V. W. Shields, Q:C. ; W. F. Rountree, S. G. D, T. F. McCarthy, Jr. J. G. D.; S. R, Street, jr., G, M.; Thos. Wilson and J, B.Ernul, G. S.; W. S. Gaskins, G. T. A. Simpson, G. A.; John Walker, Bearer of Great Lights; Book of Const! tutions, J. W. Monroe. . ' Forming around the northeast corner, acting Grand Master Wood announced that the Grand Lodge of North Carolina had been requested by the board of trustees to lay the corner stone of the school building, and that he had been commissioned by the ,Grand Master by authority of the Grand Lodge to per form that duty. "An ode was sang by the Masons and prayer was offered by the Grand Chaplain. A box containing the deposits was placed in the corner stone by the Grand Treasurer. . The Grand Master then commanded the Deputy .Grand Master, the Senior Grand Warden and the Junior Grand Warden severally to apply their respective implements to that portion of the stone that needed to be proved which '" was done and the Grand Master declared that the stone, had been tested by the proper implement of Masonry ; that the Craftsmen had skilfully and faithfully performed their duty, and that it was well formed, true, and trusty, and cor rectly laid according to the rules of the Craft. . - . The elements or uonsecrution were then brought forward, the Deputy Grand Master scattering the vessel of corn, the Senior Grand Warden pouring on the wine, the Junior Grand Warden the oil. The Grand Master then made the usual invocation, after which the publio grand honors were given, the implements given over to the Architect, and the Grand . Master made the usual proclamation. - , ' . After these ceremonies and musio by the band, Mr. W. H. Oliver arose and introduced the orator of the day, . ' , HON. JOHN ft SCABBORO ' who made a Very pointed, arguments tive, an earnest appeal in behalf .of popular education. ; Some of his arguments in ' favor of our pub lie " school : system " were, : con clusive. He is not a very good orator for a large outdoor audience, but he !' pi V ' ?y w-rr-pj-cd up, heart that when speaking on this subject he peaks with much force and earnest ness, He needs only the money to make our publio school system a success, but as he says, so long as dem- agogues of political parties insist , , . ., . , t uu i uu,u6 a .u mi... forms against increasing taxation, witn-1 out reeard to what th& taxes are for, so long will our public schools drag and our children continue to grow up in ig norance. It was a capital address, and one that would read well. At the close of the address the au dience joined in singing New Berne's favorite air, "The Old North State," after which the benediction was pro nounced by the Rev, Mr. Shields. The crowd present was estimated at three to five thousand. The firemen seemed to enjoy themselves last night by visiting the festival at the McLean building, the elegant quarters of our fire companies and other places of in-1 tereat in" the city. Kin3ton Items. Our market figures remain un changed. We curried down the Kmston horse for sheriff last Saturday. He is a f rode His hair comes out like he had been fat tened on molasses and water. S. H. Rountree, tax lister for Kiuston township, advertises that he will be at the court house in Kinston on the 20th and 21st instants for the purpose of list ing taxes. Last Sunday was unusually cool in this section. The crops and gardens, however, seem to flourish amidst all the changes and vicisitudoa of seasons and weather. The young boys of Kinston are read ing the law books to find out if they have any rights which their sister's bo is bound to respect. It is getting fight ing time in Kinston now.

The Battle of the Postmasters.- There was a "short, sharp and decisive" battle between the late postmaster and the present incumbent last Saturday evening, growing out of our local poll- tics. The "Lord Mayor's whistle urged the combatants on to glory and to vic- torv. Modesty forbids that we should name the conqueror, but the cry of '.'Oh Lordv" was thrice repeated by the van- quished a cry that never comes from vour itemizer except when a doctor s blister plaster is being removed. Uhe belligerents were up before the Mayor last Monday, when each was required to contribute $5 to the payment of the fine mule recently purchased by his Honor for the town. We think we have paid our full share for the mule. Members of Atlantic Fire Co. Mo. 1.
