At a little after 12 o'clock this morn ing the howling of dogs and uproar in the Btreets , admonished those who were awake 4 that . - some thing exciting was going on. Those fa miliar with such alarms were satisfied that fire "was the cause and began to prepare for the conflict. In a few min utes the fire alarm was sounded and the engines with the usual promptitude responded. . The fire originated in the frame store occupied by Messrs. Smith & Credle as stove ' and . tinware establishment owned by Mrs. S. A. Churchill, on Mid dle street, three doors from the corner of South Front. The flames are ' supposed to have started in the upper portion of the build ing, and was well underway when the steamers were in position to turn on a stream.. ine Button engine toon position at a well near the fire on Middle street, and the Silsby went to the river, at the foot of the same street. Owing to the charac ter of the buildings in the immediate vicinity, the fire spread in a fan-shape both right and left, extending to the brick building of Mr. J. T. Hall, on South Front street, and up to what is known as the Bishop building, also brick, on Middle street For three hours the raging flames raged with a maddened fury that seemed to defy all efforts to dispute their angry march. Fortunately the center of tho square, bounded by Middle, South Front, Cra ven .and Pollock Btreets, contained no buildings of importance, being the con centration of a number of gardens and back lots, which rendered a natural ter minus to the consuming element in that direction, but the progress on the front of Middle and South Front streets was appalling in velocity and unerring certainty. Early in the fearful conflict the well at which the Button engine was placed became temporarily exhausted, and a removal became necessary, at a very critical moment. From the new position at the dock the distance and. the force " necessary to rench the fire in its upward march, was so great that the hose burst and a sec ond more become necessary, ;and po' sition was taken at the bored well on Craven street near the Atlantic's quar ters, where it remained; The fine fiend leaped with apparent eagerness into both brick and frame buildings, devouring them each alike. The brick building of J. T. Hall, al though burned out, yet saved the low frame offices on the eastern side of it, ' while, the brick , building of W. H. Pearce, on tho corner, aided by its sheltering walls, while on fire, prevented spreading the flames across the street in either direction, and at the northern terminus of the conflagration the brick structure ren dered a similar aid in the arrest of its progress. The firemen worked with their usual energy and will, and rendered heroio service and deserve the highest praise for their devotion to duty, although during the excitement severe criticism upon the management of the depart ment was freely uttered by many The followiug are the losses and insu ranee as far as could be ascertained be fore going to press.

Miss Kate Carraway, mil linery, occupied the last store burned. Most of her stock and furuiture were saved. mistaken Again. "Henrico" comes at us as though we get no news only from the Northern papers. In this he is greatly mistaken. Most of the news he reads in his North ern papers has been read and digested New Berne at least twenty-four hours before he gets his papers from the North, and if ha would subscribe for one of those enterprising papers, the Star or News and Observer, he would not grumble so much about not getting his Northern mail. He says we had to wait for the Northern papers to get the President's address. Why bless your soul we had it in type twenty-four hours before the New York papers containing it reached here. Probably we had bet ter explain how we got it. The Wil mington and Raleigh dailies arriye here on the same evening they are is sued. From their telegraphio columns we have time to get news for our issue of the next morning. But if the train waited at Goldsboro for the fast mail it would be past midnight before it reached New Berne, so we would be unable to give the "latest news." As to "Henrico's" finding things in the Journal that he had read in North ern papers a week before, we can easily account for that. He is not a subscriber to the Journal but picks up an old issue occasionally at the hotel and thinks it's just from the press. But joking aside, if we understand 'Henrico," and we think we do now, he is only complaining of the conductors of the A. & N. C. Railroad for not waiting for the regular Northern mail when it is behind, and we agree with him, that they should wait provided there is not too much delay. We think they ought to wait even as much as three or four hours, and we are of the opinion that they sometimes do wait, especially when they know there are passengers for this end of the road. As for the "fast mail" train it is a humbug and ought to be discontinued. The money spent for it should be spent 'in facilitating mails through the country. Church Etiquette. CiDiTOR journal: it is a custom in the churches of our city for young peo ple, and especially ladies, to remain sitting at the entrance or end of the pews they occupy, and force those who come later to crowd past ' them to get the vacant sittings in the pew, On lastounaay, in one of our churches, an elderly gentleman a deacon of a sister church was obliged to crowd past a lady who insisted on occupying the first sitting in the pew and seat himself between this lady and another, J-This is a common- occurrence in our churches. Now for a lady to thus oblige a gentleman to squeeze past her in a narrow pew, instead of herself moving up, -and giving him her seat, is certainly neither pome nor modest. . lne writer well remembers many years ago, when a young man in New York listening to Doctor E. H. Chapin on this subject of ''church equitte , and has never forgotten the impression then made on his mind. Dr. Chapin 's was one of the most popular and attractive churches in the city for many years and the congregation, a very rich one, were noted for their politeness and courtesy to strangers. It has al ways been the custom in such churches as Doctor Deems', Taylor's, Hall's, and other wealthy city churches, for the owners of pews who have vacant sit tings, to take their seats at the extreme end of their pews, and leave those at the entrance for strangers, or those who should come late. Would it not be well for our people to cultivate a little of this church eti quette? '. . X.

I: - aaaaM '-" r - - (Journal of Commerce.) It is in no sense partisan, and is filled with broad catholic views of the true principles of government, ana the spirit in which the unties of the Chief Executive should be undertaken and discharged. The President accepts the office as a sacred trust, and his only anxiety is that the great interests thus con fided to him shall not suffer at his hands. It is refreshing to hear once more such ringing words of devotion to the Constitution and tho solemn pledge that it is to be interpreted in the spirit which governed in its first adoption. . (Few York Sun.) ' Those are tho , points of Mr. Cleveland's inaugural. It is very well . written. There is nothing new, or original, or brilliant about it; but the passage relating to eco: nomical government and a plain mode of living will be welcomed with satisfafction "by a great pro portion of the people; and there is no doubt that tho whole document expresses plainly and sincerely tho ideas and purposes of its author. Augusta Chronicle.) It is in tho man behind the ad dress which gives it character and power. Uttered with the candor and courage whicbf President Cleveland carries to the White House, yesterday's inaugural ad dress possesses more meaning than the delivery of a Lord Chancellor or an essay by John Stuart Mill. It embodies the eloquence of truth. (Petersburg Index-Appeal.) President Cleveland's inaugural address, like all his previous public utterances, was brief and to the point, and; as usual, was marked by a pervading sense of the grave responsibilities which his new office devolves upon him. His utter ances are clear and easily under stood, and so far as ho gives ex pression to his views upon different points of public policy, there is no mistaking his intentions. (Neio York World.) President Cleveland's Inaugural Address is in keeping with the papers he has from time to time been called upon to lay before the people m his ollicial capacity and with all his public utterances sinre the election. He says what he has to say in plain language, unembel ished by rhetorical flourishes, but terse and trenchant, leaving no doubt as to its moaning and im pressing the reader with the con viction that it comes trom the heart. Earnest, unpretending, sin cere and vigorous, the Inang partakes 01 the character of tho Man. (Norfolk Landmark.) In style, as in matter, the ad dress was worthy the grand occa sion, and we congratulate all classes black and white, . on the new era ushered in yesterday in the city which bears the name of the Father of his Country. (Charleston Ncics & Courier.) The inaugural address of Presi dent Cleveland is so weighty in tnougnt and so condensed in ex pression that it is impracticable to lay it before the public in any simpler or more suggestive lorm It breathes throughout spirit of responsibility and a sense of duty which will cp.mpcl the as sent and co-operation of the Amen can people. , (Baltimore American, Rep.) it is a careiuuy drawn paper modest and reserved, as becomes the occasion, and yet upon the main points is clear, definite and decided The only point on which toe sound is uncertain Is as to the tariff. There is no indication in the inaugural address that "offensive partisanship'' shall be ground for removal. This is a matter, how ever, not be settled, by a phrase Beyond doubt President Cleveland has now tho. intention of carrying out Civil Service Keform in good faith; but the pressure that will be brought to bear upon him to remove persons chargeable with "offensive partisanship" will be very great. The Northern Malls. ' Street's Hotel, KiNsfON, N. C, 1 March 7. 1883. J Editor Journal, From your com meats on the piece written by me, it looks as if you don't want your .mail and yet you have to wait for that very mail to publish the f resident 8 address, as you say in said paper you could not make arrangements with the telegraph company to get the address. And from that remark I think you need the mail as much, if not more, than I do. The rule you say, I miiBt make for the W dW, Railroad, won't work, for the reason that the, W. & W. are not like the A. & N. C. Railroad; they don make schedules to leave their depot whether or not the rest of the railroads are on time. They don't, like a little mouse in a large corn bin, think they own the world, but run their road for passengers, mails, etc. If you will go back to the W. & W. starting point, you will find them waiting for the P. & W., and go to the P. & W. and you will find them waiting for the R. & P., go on back and you will find the R. & P. wait ing for the Washington train, the Washington train waiting for the Balti more train, the Baltimore train waiting for the Philadelphia train, and the Phil adelphia train waiting for the New York train. And now you see if all these connecting railroads were like our little short line had their leaving time, as the A. & N. C. Railroad, I am afraid you would have to wait a long time to print your President's address, whereas, if all left at the very minute from each of those depots, as the A. & N. C. does, tor one don't know when we would get our mails; and I suppose those trains bring most of the A. & N. C.'s pas sengers. I agree with you about the management of. the road; can see it do ing better than I ever saw it, but think the business men of Kinston and New Berne ought to have their Northern mails, and you ought to have yours, as irequentiy see things in your paper that I have read a week before in other papers, and if you had your mails more promptly this would not be the case, I am sure. Wishing your paper and the railroad much success, also Northern mails, I am, Respectfully, Henrico. Carry down your broken glass and crockery and have them eemented to gether by Dr. Scott.
