Williams has returned from his Northern tnp in the interest of the New Berne Electric Railway. As our readers know .he tie for tht road are placed along the street waiting to lc laid. There is a little delay in the coming of the irons, but Mr. Williams i:ifornm in that'tbe company building the railway tells him he need not hesitate to unnoiuiee that the track will be constructed from the electric litdit station at Union point to the Fair grounds by the first of Feb ruary and that the cats wilt be running over that portion bythe opening of die Fair possibly sooner. The route will be from the f nl of south Front street, up it to Middle, iii Middle to Broad, up Broad to Hcrnc, up Heine to the Fairjgrounds. The cars that will be ncdarcof the latest patent the electiicity cm be made at any time and stored on them and thev then run without being connected with wires a great improvement over the for mcr methods, The present electric plant will answer present requirements, but it will soon be more than doubled. School Prize Presentations. Some tunc ago Prof. E. G. Daves of Baltimore, made an ofler ot two cash prizes to the pupils of Misses Jones & Hollister's school who should write the best essay or sketch of any New Bernian prominent in the Revolutionary war. The committee having carefully exam ined and considered th. papers prepared awarded the lirst prize $0.00 to Miss Clcmmie Whitford and the scond prize $4 00, to Master Benson Lane. Miss Whitford's subject was "John Wright Stanly'' and Master Lane's subject was Richard Caswell." They arc both very creditable productions. Tne presentation of the prizes was made Friday by Dr. John 5. Long, J.. L. D., a few of the parents of the pupils being present. In making the presentation, Dr. Long spoke in his admirable way on the im portance of the study of history and dwelt especially on the desirability "f being well informed on the matters of local and State history. Announcement was also made that somewhat similar prizes would bo pre sented next Christmas; the subject to be written upon has not fully been settled upou but it will be in reference to the early settlement of North Carolina. Our State and city have much to I of in deeds of former generations us well as the present, and Prof. Daves is doing much to make the deeds of the glor.ous past a memory to all, in the living p res eat. The interest that he feels and takes in such work ill worthy of both praise and emulation. THE KNITTING FACTORY. Nearly Ready to Slart Again With Its Increased Capacity. The Nfiw Berne Knitting factory, Mr. Henry liishton, proprietor, will resume work next week in the quarters to which it recently moved in a portion of the machinery building of the Fast Carolina Fair. Mr. J. R. Yost, foreman, arrived Friday on the steamer Neuse from his old home in Philadelphia and was en gaged in placing additional knitting nachinesin place for work; the new machines will considerably iucre:iS9 the capacity of the factory in fact they will nearly double it. The factory w:ll hereafter make some finer grades of hosiery than it has hereio fore been doing. The machines have been so placed that the operations will bo a part of the exhibit in Machinery Hall during the Fair. Mr. Yost, who now takes charges of the.faclory for the first time is a good, practical, energetic man, just such a citi zen as we need many of and the factory will no doubt go forward to larger profits and to increased usefulness to thn community under his management. What Has Become of Him? Cashier Lawrence Pulliem, ol the Nat ional Bank of sheville has strangely disappeared. He has been in wretched health and has frequently had to take morphine He left for Philadelphia on December SOtli to have an operation performed,' he took with him $6,300 of-thejbank's funds tor eastern banks carrying it to save espres charges, and since leaving, he has not been heard from at any point, Opinion as to this Is divided but preponderance is in his favor., If he had meant to rob he could As easily- have taken more as to have taken what be did. ' His wife and friends believe bis mind became affec ted and that he has wandered off and perhaps been assaulted and robbed. ; Accident Insurance. ; If you are not already, provided with an accident policy be sure and take one oat right away in the Guarantee Accident.

Many were sports men ami hiinter-i, coining in willi bi loads of din k or strings of ijunil ami squirrels and rabbits in large number The whole region seems to be a paradi-e for the hunter it would be a "paradi-e lost-' for the game if the holiday season was not so brief. As the Fair 'literature'' was lying round loose, it naliir tlly turm d conversation upon game. No one in all the company had ever seen a beaver nor have we yet come upon any person who has seen one. The lilteen dollai premium otTered lor several years luis no! brought one to the Fair. "John Dunn done well" to get a beavei for the couiini: we might say, current Fair for us al wavs "coining" when not come. At Wilmington we went In the "Orton It is not our purpose to pull the Hotel or to make "invidious distinctions'' we have no doubt other hoels ae as good. But we like Orton. especially that Ming little "Crows Xest'' up :in the fourth floor in the blue'cthcr. We said "little" in imitation of a lady who justified her frequent use ol that word by saving, "what I like I call little." Itiit there's nothing litcle about room '.IS say thirty yards of carpet to lay the floor. And it ' so easy to gel there. Shake the elevator boy who is asleep by the door and he'll begin to wake up. The machine starts us so. in as lie starts, and by the time he's awake we're there, li s near midnight and our fust duty is to sleep perchance to dream. Pull the shutters wide open no human eye can get in a position to look in here, that when the morning cometh we may soonest .t.ileii its kindling daw n. We look out but -i very indistinctly, although in ( very di rection and over a w ide area, a hundred 'ighls are glancing. The broa I ilbrn Hated dials ol two of the city's cloek show clearly the passing'liour. One is so directly in front that as we lay our head on the pillow, wb are squarely lace o face. A clock ot "or ( molia" on the mantel, could not in the stilly night belter tell us the tick or tickle our fancy. Our two wiudows command a view of the finest part ol the city. Across the street nearly opposite is the admirably planned and constructed United States building, of fine architectural proport ions, with its handsome lower and ele gant arched and carved entrance. The illuminated clock, just mentioned, is two or three blocks away, on the new Court House, said to lie the finest Court House in the State. A little to the south of it is the highest spire in the city, a beautiful one that of the first Baptist church. In nearly the same line is the tall spire of the fiist Presbyterian church, also a beau tiful spire. A dozen other spires or towers or steep'es of one kind or another, may be seen, and many handsome or ele gant private residences. All Jhis before we descend from our eyrie. Of our days work, we will not now make mention time will tell. But wc hud opportunity belorc our train lett to look aliout a little. It is worth one's while to go through the Public Building. The first floor is oc cupied bv the Post Office, which facilities are cxcellen', the rooms ample, conven ient, comfortable and attractive. On the second floor is the fine Federal Court room, with its nice and convenient ar angnnicnts of rooms for the various officers Judge, Jury, Dist. Attorney, Muishal, Clerk &c. On this floor, too, are the rooms of the Internal Reveuue depart ment. The corps of U. 8. Engineers, and the weather Bureau occupy the third floor The tower has a fiue clock with thoir illuminated dials, and the various kinds of apparatus for determining the temper ature, amount of rain, directions and Telocity of the wind, &c, are on the sum mit of the roof. The velocity of the wind is indicated by four small hemispherical cups, perhaps three or four inches across placed vertically upon cross arms, twelve or thirteen inches long, which revolves horizontally. The speed with which they revolve is registered, and shows the veloc ity. Sometimes they move very rapidly. sometimes very altwly but we hava never seen them at a stand still. The smoke may rise ever so lazily from the atlja cent chimneys, and rush to right or left or sink to the ground, but it is uevcr so qniet but the little cups chase each other round the circle. We munt stop, but wc have not done with Wilmington yet. 1 B. "Economy, the poor man's mint" 'i" ' . . Topper. Most of ns bare to study, econo mony in all things, except air.
