Our Noble Fire Company.


We cannot give too much praise to our eff
cent little Fire Engine, Capt. Alf keenan, and the
rest Of the Fire company, forthe good work they
did last Saturday. As an old fireman we say
we never saw men work steadier or with more
zeal md effect in oil our life. That they pre-
vented the destruction Of vast amount Of val
uablc property no one who WAS at the fire can
dispute, and they certainly deserve the praise
and encouragement of our citizens. 1t was the
first time an Opportunity had occurred to show
what their little engine AMI the company could
do in case of fire, and they proved themselves
to be Invaluable.
Many who doubted the policy of purchasing
the engine aud organizing the fire company
were that nig& Convinced that it was the best
expenditure of money ever made in this town
A lew more lengths Of hose and q few more
eistc,.s will make us comparatively safe from
fires hereafter.

TRIBUTE To Mrs. GOVERNOR EAScE.-This
is the just and intelligent tribute paid by the
Wilmington Sun to the memory of the late wife
of Governor Vance:
Mrs Vance was a lady Of decidedly strong
character. Piety Of the highest, most robust
tyne. dominated her nature, and she
leader i'll good works. 1t must not he inferred
from these words that Mrs. Vance was lacking
i'll the softer feminine gifts and graccs which
light up home and society with serene and steady
splendor, and make our present earth a second
Eden. She had much social power, and graced
the hearth and board of her ilustrious husband
, as few women could have done She exertcd
over his life and aims q powerful influence in
lifting him higher to his spiritual range of study
| and contemplation. The turn for illustrations
! drawn from the Bible, which Gov. Vance exhit-
its in his speeches and writings, his high hdmi-
ration for the Jewish race his vencration for
the stern character Of the Scottish covenant ers,
| together with his general fondness for ethical
studies, may, perhaps, without derogation, all
| be Justly ascribed to Mrs. Vance and her won
| dcrful influence over his life and character"
