It is capable of turning ' out 250 per day. The goods manufactured arc caBks for turpentine and barrels for oil. The force of workmen at this fac tory is to be increased at an early day and Wilmington's old barrel factory, which has been in operation fonr or five years and doing a good business in this and other States, is to increase its capacity from 250 barrels daily to from 500 to 700 daily, ; Enough industries like these make lively times wherever they are located.

Ives it Sou have de cided to establish an orchard and vine yard on a scale somewhat extensive for this section upon their farm at Newport. They made the order for the trees, vines and plants yesterday and will set them out this fall. They w ill have twenty acres in peaches, eight in pears, four in apples, two and a half in plums, eight in grape, four in Wilson blackberries, tw o in strawberries and will probably put in some raspber ries. Thoy will also raise Japanese wal nuts and other choice nuts. In number they w ill have L'OOO peach trees and nine variolic !K)0 pears and 13 j,r--i- -S50 "oplcs and,!) vai etics; 2o0 plums and 4 vanetic-. The varieties will ex .. i iiirough the season early and late of the different species of fruit, and the gentlemen intend to raise both lor the northern and local markets. We uie glad to see this industry devel oping. There are certain fruits to which this section is specially adapted and we believe it will prove a very lucrative busi ness. The elder Air. Ives is a man of pro gressive ideas who has made a success ol whatever he has undertaken anj we look to see him succeed in this instance also. Maintained Their Good Name. The Winston Sentinel has some clever remarks about the visiting fireman, among whom our New Berne young men arc noticed for their gentility, fairness and honor. Surely New Berne should feel proud ol these young men, w hose health is often, and even their lives arc endan gered. These tournaments are very much like base ball games, where, though rivary and strong competition, the participants are liable to lose their temper, and dishonor, rather than exalt their good names but we are glad to know, our young men had rather ; maintain their dignity, and stand upon their merit, than becon c contentious and show ill feeling. Again it is the general acceptation that when young men leave home in a body on either pleasure or business, that thcic must necessarily follow a certain amount of debauchery, but, be it to their credit, our young men have on various occasions pioven the falsity of the charge. They have a good time, and it is right and proper that they should, but they know how to enjoy themselves without wallow ing in the mire and bringing themsel ves into disgrace, and repulsive to all with whom they come in contact. Co in in if ami (Join? Mr. Sum i Parsons n:;d family, who have been visiting rel lives at the Straits, returned borne yesterday morning. Miss Maggio Lane of the city, Miss Lilian Fowler from the opposite side of Neuse river, mid Miss Ella Lane of Bel- lair, left Tuesday morning to enter Greensboro Female college, and Mr. Harry Marks left at the fame time to en ter Horner's school, Oxford. Mr. F. C. Huberts returned from Chapel Hill where he has been visiting relatives. Miss Mamie Hay who has been visiting in KiiKton passed through to visit rela tives in C.artcrcrt Cotlnty. Mr. John Cliadwick who has been spending the rammer at Beaufort, his home, came up yesterday to visit relatives in New Berne about a week. He will then return to Atlanta where he just spent a yevr and a hall". Caod Scho.l Openings. The Xew Berne Academy opened Monday morning with 132 pupils against ouly 75 the first day of last year. A very good increase. Elevan more entered yesterday. The Collegiate Institute opened with 83, showing about the same proportion of gai i over last year as the Academy did, and the number was still further in creased yesterday. Many will come in a little later. It somehow seems that a full school cannot be obtained here until a few weeks after it begins. Prof Mendenhall has taken hold of the Institute in doid earnest, secured a good faculty and is working hard to make it such a school as New Berne should have. We bespoik for him the hearty co-operation of all citizens He deserves the suc cess which we believe he will achieve Winston Compliments her Visitors. The visitfnsr firemen have shown them selves, in every instance, genteel and in every way fair and honorable in the con tests as welt as tneir social intercourse with Winston and Salem people.

The Death of Henry Hellen Another Practical Illustration of the Im portance of Having; bucti an Institution iu New Item", We told in Tuesday's Journal of the death ol Mr. Henry Hellen from Grifton, who. after being in the city a couple ol months ick with consumption, finally died fiom that disease Sunday, and we mentioned a!.-o Vnv that being in needy circumstance--kind minis! ra! alleviated M: lightened cpon his wit.-.

Our physicians now do a very laruc aim lint of charitable work in the practice ofthei! profession vastly more than (be majority of people realize and give them credit for. But for this tender and hu mane generosity of their time and ser vices, seconded, when necessity arises, by similar acts on the part of benevolent citizens a hospital would have been nu absolute necessity i. re this. But because there arc thoso, who, prompted by the sense ol tint v an i ledums of compassion. take die i arc ol needy sick ones upon themselves, it i' no reason why a belter system, with the burden ol caring for them inoie cvenlv divided, should not be provide I . And, it is not simply lor the benefit of tho-e whose lack of means c ni-cs liicm to need such service that a hoMiital should be provided but also for strangers and so journers in our midst and for those among us who. w hile being amply aide, as far as finances ale concerned to provide toi themselves, yel not having a family, lack the comforts of a home and the loving ministrations ol loved ones. To all such a properly conducted hospital in times of illness would be a God-f.end. We know there is some realization of this need by our people and wo believe that that realization is strong enough to lead to the successful culmination of any effort looking to this result. Who will take (he mutter in hand ? Tu a fuse Against Rev. W. K West. A card in this issue showing why Kev. W. E. West of Ocracokc, was acquit tod of the charges of drunkenness speaks in connection with Mr. J. A. Thomas of or.ly one occasion, when in fact Mr. West was up to Xcw Berne two or three times. On one of these occasions Mr. Thomas being solicited by Mr. Wesl, cheerfully gave him a certificate that so far as he knew he had not b?en drinking. Mr. West having asked for it and giving as the reason that such a story had been started on him. On a subsequent occa sion Mr. Thomas becoming convinced that Mr. West was acting in the manner indicated wrote to Mr, C'asstevens to uul iil'y the effects of his first letter feeling in honor bound to do so. Mr. Graham iu his card impugns uu worthy motives to those making state ments against Mr. West. Wo aro confi dent that not one of them gave a single thought as to whether he was in connec tion with the Noithorn or Southern branch of the Methodist church or even what denomination he belonged. They simply did not wish to see the sacred calling dishonored by au unworthy mcm bor. Men whose veracity is unquestioned iu the city, boldly affirm tho charges and the strong impression iu New Berne is that a wrong decision was reached. The card presents the side of the case for acquittal Now what was the side for cor.demuing ? Of that the card does not speak The commit lee took strong evidence from Mr A Hatchett, of which the card does not sty a word, and since the acquittal of Mr West, Mr Ilatchett has published the facts in his paper, the Durham Times Whether the committi c which secured the testimony had other evidence on the condemning side besides those which have been published the committee can say if it wishes HAPPENINGS OF THE DAY.

Below I give .statements both oral and written. 1 went to Albert Banks; and showing him Mr. West's photograph, asked him if he ever bought liquor for him. lie said, no. I then went to -1. A.

That if he had been intoxicated to my knowledge 1 would have refused him a team. That he came again once in March and piocured a nice turnout and was perfect ly strait and sober and treated my team all light so far as 1 know.

If Mr. West was not a ".Northern"! :) Methodist, would this war be made against him Mr. Street is no doubt a gentleman, but many an honest man has made :1s great a niiitake as he has. Mr. Thomas is not in il. I have his written statement that he aw West on this day and he was not drunk.
