iumt at the Fair was shippini; yesterday
seven coops of chickens to various points

Messrs. Wood Bros., of River View

on buff cochin pullet and 2i premium
on buff cochin cock, made sales on that

Union Point Poultry Yard's proprietors
also took orders. Among their tales
were some of their beautiful Plymouth
Rocks to Mr. F. E. Hcge & Co., the
noted breeder of Salem who made tucb a
remarkable exhibit at tbe Fair and wbo

Two Children Burned to Death.
We learn of a most distressing acci
dent at Cove tixteen miles Irom New
Berne which resulted in the death of two
small children of Mr. Brice Ipock, one of
the best known farmers of that locality.
They were a boy and girl about five and
six years of age.
Last Saturday, one of the children
caught en fire and was so badly burned
as to die on Monday. The other in at
tempting to put out the first child
caught also and was so badly burned
that death resulted Tuesday morning.
In our allusion to the bell shown at tbe
Fair by Col. J. D. Waitford which was
used at the time ot Gov. Caswell's first
inauguration . we should have spoken of
Catwell as the first Governor under the
State constitution instead of the United
State constitution -the latter had not at
that time been formed.
Our authority fqf the article on the
severe weather that may be expected next
mon.h informs ui that when the freeze
which killed , besot and other young
truck two or three years ago occured, five
disturbing ' influences brought it. about;
and In the approaching period about the
21st of March six disturbing Influences
will be at wprk , nearly a month sooner,
hence the freezing Is sure to be severe. ;
A mounted Wayne county, gander of
notoriety was in tbe ; taxidermy depart
ment ot the Fair. The bird bad been in
tbe family of this owner for 70 yean, and
was grown when the last owners father
caine'into bit possession. He was- tup
posed to be at least 80 years old. The
old fellow ran tbe gauntlet of Sherman's
army when marauding parties killed ont
the other poultry 00 tbe farm and escaped
with only a broken leg. Af ar all hit
tough endurance he filially froze to death
in the last cold snap before the Fair. On
account of tbe interest that centered in
him be was sent to Miss Alice Daffy of'
this city . for mounting and placed on
exhibition.'. C. W. Smith was the owner.

the Eminent Carollalaa aad w
Berne' 1 Most DltUngil'-ted
Son
Editor Jourual: It wat a pleasure
to me to read what you said tome weeks
ego, in regard to the improvements being
nia'e on the Gaston House. It may not
be known to you, sir that tbe writer of
this, established that well known Hotel
and named it ifter ont of Carolina's no
blest ton's, the eminent Jir'r William
Gutton, lie who t' 1' idol man of
my boyhood, til ' m 1, -o as I grew to
manhood, and perhaps ws capable in
some degree, of npprei 'ia.i.. .lie grand
qualities of iht uront 1 : .t 11, yea, great in
tht noblest scn.-c j: ..... term.
Hence you cannot easily imagine, Sir,
how aevera whs the shock I felt, when I
read in your issue ol the 15lh inst, that
the ''Gatton Hovie" it to be heard of no
more. Hare ot a thing of the fxut. Indeed
Sir, I caunot conceive how it can be pos
sible, that an Indian name lor the Gaston
House, (though it may be the oiiplnal
name of the site upon which, New Berne
stands,) can be more pleasing, or attract
ive, to the sons tof Carolina, nud the gen
end public, than that of the (listing uislied
man whose name it bore when first open
ed in April, 1857.
There may be some palliation however
(ol what seems to me a discreation,) by
the tact, that lie whose purpose is to
ignore the name of Gaton knew nothing
of that noble son of Carolina, who had
few equals, and nn superiors.
While I was held 111 prison at More-1
head City, the yankees took charge of the
Gaston House, painted out tht name of
Gaston, and placed in its stead, "Union
Hotel." At that time, sir, the distin
(juished Edward Stanly was ihe Military
Governor of tl New Berne Department
and through the kindness of a yruikee
officer, I couiiniinicated with Gov. Stanly
in regard fo the matter, and he - yes, he,

Looking forward
i'.vt-n before all the exhibits have left
the Fair grouuds, next years exhibition is
being looked forwaul to and planned for.
Mr. J. S. Carr, of Durham, we arc pleased
to learn, is among the foremost in looking
forward to next year.
He has removed the articles which he
had on exhibition, but he leaves the
machinery used in running them and has
bad accurate measurement taken ot the
buildiug and ol the space he used this
time so that the exhibits can be adapted
'o the place without the necessity ol in
vestigating as the time approaches. The
exhibit will be ucw; different in style nnd
even finer than the one made this lime.
All who exhibited at the Fair were
pleased at having done so, nnd with rare
exceptions, every one may be expected to
be on hand next time and many new ones
with them.

A COSTLY riRf.
A Wilmington Saw Mill Destroyed
Loss $30,000 - Insurance $18,500.
Fire was discovered Mouduv morning
at t:30 o'chek in W.lter Li Parsley's
saw mill plant, iu the extreme northern
suburbs of the city.
Hie Are originated from a spark from
tbe mill which flew into the two
story planing mill. The flames went
from there to the two-story lumber shed,
thence to the boiler room and engine
house, and then destroyed the three large
dry-kilns. T'uo above buildings were
burned to the ground, and now not a
vestige is left. The office was destroy
ed, and a residence back of the office was
badly scorched and also damaged by
water. The office furniture was mostly
lived
The mill proper was not injured, ow
ing to the wind blowing in the opposite
direction. There was altogether about
six hundred thousand feet of lumber lost,
mostly cedar, juniper and pine flooring.
The loss is estimated at $80,000, and in
surance about $13,300.
Tho destroyed property will be re
built. Wil. Star.
WHAT OTHER'S SAID.
Cllpplucrt From Exchanges in Refer,
ence to the Fair.
"Everybody who goes to tht New Bern
Kair and returns brings back fine rtports
of the various exhibits. It it without
doubt the best all round exposition the
9-ato has ever known." Goldsboro
Argus
"The city wat crjwded last night to its
utmost capacity for accommodation.
linunuton people wi re found iu every
gathering. More men ot prominence
irom different sections of the State were
lit re than or. auy former occasion.
The exhibit is beyond question the
best ever seen in the Stato, and quite a
number of Northern eentlemen tell 111 1
that the poultry sluw excels anything
had at the 1 hiladelpnia Centennial or
the Chicago World's Fair, while a greater
variety of water products, more artiatisv
ally displayed than was ever seen on this
continent, added largely to the interest of
those wishing to take an object lesson 111
natural history, the wonderful produc
tions of this God favored land." Special
Cor. Wil. Star.
"Practically the seventh animal fair of
the Fish, Oyster and Game association ot
East Carolina came to a close today. The
crowd in attendance being tquully at
large as that of any previous day during
tht fair.
All trains leaving Ntw Bern during
tlin day were crowded with rtturnirg
sightseers, who were delighted with the,
old time hospitality of the "city of elms''
aud the magniflccut display of the thous
ands of interesting and wonderful ex
hibits. It is use'ess to say that these
visitors returned to their homes with a
better idea of the grand possibilities and
future of tha State iu general, and of
Eastern North Corolina in particular, and
the mere mentioning of the name of the
people ot New Berne will be to them
synonymous of all that is good and
noble.
The Fair lias been a success from every
standpoint.
The fair is now held in the month of
February of each year, in the city of New
Beine, and is considered by those who
know to be the best fair held ic the State,
and as far as the fish oyster and game ex
hibits are concerned, it cannot be excelled
in any other fair in tbe United States
Tbe annual premiums aggregate between
$5,000 and $6,000." Wil. Messenger.
Permanent Fair Association.
In response to a suggestion in tbe Star
of Sunday, that "a permanent Fair As
sociation should be organized in Wil
mington,'' and the inquiry, ' What say
tbe business men ?" there wat much fav
orable comment jesterday.
Many merchants who wert approached
by a Star representative Monday said
they would either take stock or tubscribt
liberally to an association ef that kind.
One merchant signified hit willingness to
take five shares at a hundred dollars
each, and another said ho would subscribe
one hundred dollars outright. Those
who attended the New Berne Fair are
enthusiastic, and say that Wilmington,
with her adva itages, should be able to
support a permanent Fair if our sister
city, New Berne, can do it, aud make
money, too, by tbe operation. A list will
be circulated in a few days by tome of
the enterprising merchants to give those
who with a chance to subscribe or take
ttock. Wil. Star.
