Duplin county, N. C.-No. 2 :.

Dublin was formed according to Martin
from the upper portion of New Hanover, and
was settled by Irish, who, it is said, were re-
minded of the capital Of their native Erin, and
hence the county was named Duplin. 1t is
surrounded by Onslow, New Hanover, Samp-
son, Wayne and Lenoir counties. Its capital
is Kenansviile, after James Kenan, whose
name indicated Irish descent, who was one OF
her representatives in 1774 to the first general
meeting of the deputies of the inhabitants OF
the COLONY. which met in Newbern and was
also a delegate to Hillsboro' in 1875, and to
Halifax in l776. He was also one of the
twenty-five sgners of the oath of allegiance
and abiuration, adopted by act of Assembly,
nassed at Newbern in November, 1776. He
also represented this county in 1904 in the
Senate of the State, and was a member OF
CONGRESS- from 1906 to 1911. He subsequent
" removed to Alabama, and was member
Of her Assembly for several years. He died
near Selma in 1843, aged 70 years. Wheeler
saws the early history of Duplin proves that in
the days that tried mems souls the county
was true to the principles of liberty. The
nopulation in 1860 was 1874, of which
+ 1924 were slaves, 81 were free negroes, the
total of whites beiug 8;289. In 1850 the
number of farms was 92S-improyed acres
9,o18-unmproved 3S4,030-value with
improvements and implements 81, 460, 926-
horses, sheep, neat cattle, and swine 60,75 4;
wheat 372,5sO bushels Irish and sweet pota-
toes 25s,8O7; peas and beans 1910; rice
lO1 1902 pounds; wool 1884 besides, per-
haps, upwards of 100000 lbs. cotton, and
$4,000 barrels turpentine- which informa-
ton includes all facts of general interest relat
ing to Duplin.

SALE o. VALUABLE PRoPERrY.--Thee ru-
NOR to which we gave authoritative currency
in reference to the sale Of the wharf property
of q. V. Niemeyer, Esq, of Portsmouth, was
well founded. We learn from an authentic
source, that the Seaboard and Roanoke Rail-
road has purchased the property for. $4,000.
This gives them an unbroken water front
from High to County street, and is nowAthe
most valuable water front in the city. When
the contemplated shed is erected, on the front
line of the wharf, for the accommodation of
the produce, quite business aspect will be
given to that portion of the river property.
The road is full of business, and the wharf,
this morning, contained considerable num-
Der of cotton..bales designed, we presume, for
shipment to Northern markets.

and the son of our estimable fellow-citizen,
VIM. Wake, Esq.
The music at ST. Pauls was admirable
The TIE Deum was rendered in different
tune, not heard before by us, and was SER
mon Of itself. The harmony or concert OF
parts was delightful to listen to. So was the
solemn vocal and instrumental music which
was substituted for the Offertory, or which
was rendered during the time consumed in
taking up the collection"
There is more than ordinary attention devo-
ted to the musical department of this Church
and Mr.. Fitz, the organist and musical di-
rector, deserves great credit for the present
superiority to which the choir has attained
under his management. The Professor is a
valuable acquisition to this community, and
should meet with more encouragement. His
number of pupils, we understand, is small
and inadequate.
He is capt to teach, and we hope, there
fore, that proper encouragement may be ex-
tended to him in order that his retention in
this community may be secured. The So
prano at St. ,Paul's is charming -and the en-
tire music highly devotional in its effect upon
those who are rightly exercised thereby,
In Portsmouth there were services morning and
night at Trinity and St. Johns. At the lat
ter Church the music at night was good.
The Rev. Mr. Fisher officated at the NJ E.
Church, Dinwiddie street, P Portsmouth, in the
, morning. The Rev. Mr.. Chamberlain Off
elated in the evening. At the close of the
evening services the. Stewards of the Church
took up "a Missionary collection. The day was
bright and pleasant. and all the Churches
generally well attended 81 .en9 = sef,srts
