" While the music furnished by the different bands was elegant, and we enjoyed it greatly at the different occa- iB ions during the firemen s visit, - we must compliment Prof. Wilson, leader of the Cornet Concert Club, and Mr. S, AShloch, of the same, on the part they took in rendering the "Old North State" Tuesday afternoon.

THE VISITING FIR&IQRV. The Parade and Teat. The several fire companies formed yesterday in procession, and the streets, all as named in the programme, were passed through. 'The display was grand and the citizens were out all along the line of march to get a" view of the pageant. Three "bands of,munio en livened the march and swelled tlr crowd on the sidewalks with those who were to6 much entranced by the beautiful strains floating through the. air t ) think of the discomfort and fatigue they were' undergoing to enjoy it. At an early hour the "wise and prudent" 1 egan to assemble at the foot of Craven street, where the test was to come off. They did this no doubt to select a "good place to see," and it was amusing to see the variety of opinions on that important point, and the readiness with which one well situated would consent to move at the suggestion of some one who thought they had found a better place. Moving and removing was the order of the day among the constantly increas ing crowd of spectators until the en gines arrived and their several positions taken. The Wilmington "Little Giant" occu pied the right, the "New Berne" the centre and the Atlantics, "Elijah Ellis" the left. The "Mary Alice," of Golds boro, declining to enter the competition, was withdrawn and driven to its quarters. The test was to be the first water thrown fifty feet from the nozzle through fifty feet of hose, making one hundred feet from the machine. The Wilming ton company selected Major Hall, the New Berne, Robert Hancock, jr., and the Atlantic, Major D. T. Carraway, to be the' judges. Planks were placed across the street at the measured dis tance, the crowd pressed back and a rep resentative of each company in position to guard the marks so that no sliding of the planks or other interference with the fairness of the test should take place. When everything was in readiness the match was applied to the kindling and the black volumes of smoke indi cated that steam would soon be raised; the waiting time was short, for in four minutes and twenty-six seconds the Little Giant began to send forward a stream and the Elijah Ellis followed in seven seconds. The first water thrown beyond the planks was so .clearly that from tho Wilmington Engine, that no contention whatever was had over the award. When the Little Giant started t.hfi stream, the Wilmington boys sent up a cheer that was caught up by bystanders until the welkin rang; The colored driver, Nick, became perfectly wild with enthusiasm, rushed through the stream, grabbing up members of the successful company and tossing them about like toys. In fact it was thought that his namesake, Old Nick, would have hardly been more excited had he have seen all from these powerful ma chines turning streams into the over heated preeincts of his dominion. The Foreman of the Goldsboro Com pany, Capt. Lamb, states that he did not enter into the competition for the reason that, he understood that it was agreed at the meeting of representatives the night before that inasmuch as the first. agreement for a test' on the three points: first stream, greatest distance through two hundred and fifty feet of hose, and then through five hundred feet had been abandoned, that there would be no prize competed for, but only a trial of the engines; but aftor the engines were on the spot a new agree' ment was made between the New Berne and Wilmington companies to test on the first water thrown fifty feet from the nozzle through fifty feet of hose and aj he was not prepared for that and in fact regarded it only a compe tition between the Elijah Ellis and Lit tle Giant, he declined to sign the agree ment and ordered his engine to its quartersv . Z , - About three o'clock the four com' panics, accompanied by a number of citizens, a host of ladies and a group of widowers, took the train for Morehead where a- supper' was spread and the prizes awarded. The Editor is along and will give a full account of the "Res Gestae." - - Saratoga Yesterday. The eyes of the country are directed to the convention of the Democracy -ot New York, which met at Saratoga ye terday. Much of the interest in the action of this always important'body important because of near business con nections with the wholo' country grofrs dut of: the impression that it will have an important -bearing on the National Convention at Chidago- on the 8th of July. , We await intelligence . with strong hope that the developments there Personal. Miss Florence Rountree and Mrs. Wm. Street, of Kinston, have been spend ing a day or two with friends and rela tives in the city, and will return this morning. Mr. George Allen is attending the commencement exercises of Davidson College. Mr, Robert Ferguson, formerly of this city and of Kinston, now of Augusta, Ga., is in the city. He is an operator in tho Western Union office at that place, and is on a short leave of absence to visit his old homes. Grapes Ripening. Grapes are already beginning to ripen at Capt. S. W. Noble's vineyard, near this city, as we learned yesterday by ocular demonstration,. In fact, Capt. Noble claims that grapes can be made to ripen here in New Hanover county as soon as anywhere in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, or any other grape growing State. Earliness in ripening one important feature in successful grape culture, and we are glad to know that our county can compare with any section in this respect. WU.Star. Note ou tho Parade. The new uniform added much to the appearance of the New Berne Company. A striking feature in the Atlantic turn-out was a number of little fellows, the future firemen of New Berne. The best pair of horses in line were the Atlantics, though the Wilmington's are quite as fine in appearance. All the bands made good music, but the Wilmington is clearly entitled to the premium. The Mary Alice, of Goldsboro, was the prettiest engine in the procession. Altogether the Goldsboro boys present the finest physique. The Wilmington's are more uniform in size, bnt they have no such physical giants as Parker and Carroll of the Goldsboro Company, Wood, Slover, Styron and Ellis of the Atlantics, and Pavie, Styron and War ters of the New Berne Company. The New-Bern's had the oldest engine in the line. As to gentlemanly deportment we cannot award a premium to any one company for the reason that it was a uniform which adorned each alike We may be a little too proud of them, but don't believe any State in the Union can bring together four fire companies which will through all the excitoment of a visit, a reception, a contest, a de feat, a victory, carry with each and every member the strong marks of a gentleman as completely as these have Delaware Convention. Dover, Dei-., June 17. The Demo cratio State convention was called to order by Robert J. Reynolds, chairman of the State committee. In his remarks he mentioned Bayard's name, which was greeted with applause. After the appointment of committees, Dr. E Cooper was made permanent chairman. The committee on resolutions then re ported as follows: Kesoived, That the Democratic party of Delaware in convention assembled, in advance of the declaration ot prin ciples soon to be made by the Democ racy of the union, declares its steadfast adherence to the cardinal and time honored customs of the party. The principles and policy avowed in the platform adopted at St. Louis in 1878, And repeated at Cincinnati in 1S80, have been approved by time and expe rience, and we trust our delegates in the approaching convention at Chicago will co-operate in confirming and adapt ing them to the present needs of the country. We present to the whole country our ieiiow- citizen, Thomas Francis Bayard, as tk statesman, who through his long public career has enunciated and illustrated the endur ing pi inciples of the Democratic faith, and whose nomination as President would furnish at once platform and candidate, and whose election would satisfy the highest aspirations of the American people. Mr. John W. Cansly, m moving the adoption of the resolution made a Bhort speech, saying that, like Webster, Bayard was enough for both candidate and platform. The resolutions wer adopted amid renewed cheering and the convention adjourned amid much enthusiasm. Yes, They Certainly Have, Wha-at Jim? . Jim Blaine? " ' Got him? .

I have been informed that Miss Julia Pritchett, of Bladen county, who is visiting relatives at Trenton, is now very sick with malarial fever at John P. Brogden's." Mr. Wm. McDaniel's little son Hugh, who has been lying dangerously sick with the typhoid fever for several days, is now pronounced to be better by the attending physician, Dr. Scarborough. The'picnic next Friday and the tab leaux at night, a big time expected with big baskets filled with big things pre pared in big style for a big crowd. We are looking for everybody, and don't you forget it. , Crops are certainly good in Jones county thus far and are in splendid order. Labor is plentiful and tho farm ers have utilized it in a very judicious manner. If no disaster happens we will next year have corn to sell and keep. This is certainly one of the trying years which has been brought on us by the last years short crops. Corn and meat both scarce and not much money to buy with. Yet our people appear cheerful, hoping and trusting that the good time is not far off when their meat j and corn houses will be nearer filled than they have been for these many years. Died, on Saturday morning, June the 14th, Mrs. Annie D. Pollock, the beloved wifejof Wm. W. Pollock. Esq., Mrs. Pollock was sick but a few days, having been taken on Monday, and died on Saturday morning. She leaves a devoted husband, several little children and an aged father and mother, together with brothers, sisters and many other sor rowing relatives and friends to mourn their irreparable loss. Lightning struck the northeast corner of C. H. Foy's store on Monday the 9th of June and knocked off a few brick and passed along the tin gutter to the western corner and took a sudden de scent through tha roof and ceiling and shattered the window facing and broke all the glass but three in one window. Mr. Jas. D. Herritage, who was stand ing a short distance from the store, was badly stunned by the shock. If our farmers will select out a good plat of ground and manure it well and otherwise prepare and sow it in ruta bagas they will hncl it as good a paying crop as any they can raise. They ought to sow them in July. Mr. L. II. Mal lard raised and sold on one-half an acre thirty-six dollars worth of them last year. He also kept enough for his own use and fed a large quantity of the smaller ones to his stock. Mr. Mallard says it beats cotton raising. Whortle and dewberries are getting very plentiful around Trenton. The huckleberry brigade ii fully organized plying their vocations with a push and vim, I enquired of one of the pickers if it was a paying business; he said it was not, but it was ready cash and he could pick eight quarts a day, but it took another day to sell them at Tren ton unless he let them go at three cents per quart. I then enquired the con dition of his crop, and he said it was good but it needed work, and said the blessed Lord had sent the huckleberries and he was determined to have his share if his crop did suffer a little. Ice Cream and Banana Sherbet at Mrs. Dillingham's to-day. If you, Who delight in a soothing pipe, ask why Black well's Durham Long Cut is the most exquisite smoking to bacco in the world? the reply must be there is art in preserving what nature bestows. The large capital of Blackwell & Co. privileges them to gather the cream of the leaf grown on the Golden Belt, and their immense storage facil ities enables Uiem to carry their choice stock till it becomes as sweet and fra grant as a rose.
