The SALISBURY BRASS BAND.-AThis Band, in at
tendance at Fair last week, acquitted itself with
the highest honors. The members are all of the
right material-all gentlemen. in the true meaning
Of that word As musicians and ~ individuals, they
will be long remembered and highly respected by
the people Of Raleigh. With others we enjoyed the
compliment Of an excellent scramble from this Band
on last Wednesday night for which We return
our thanks. Long life and prosperity to the Sails

better qualities. Messrs g.. M.z& q: Lines large
manufacturers at Townsville, exhibited specimens

and workmanship excelled anything of the kind We
have ever seen. We hope to see them literally pat
