Steamer Wave at WiIminqton.

The Steamer Wace which met with
such a severe accident two weeks ago
on her down trip from this point to
Wilmington, has been raised, and towed
into the latter place where she will be
pumped out and the necessary repairs
added. The WaUe is one of the smart
est little boats that ever piled the upper
Cape Fear. Her speed was never suF-
passed. Her owners deserve great
credit for the enterprise, they have
displayed in raising and getting her to
Wilmington. The despatch with which
this result was accomplished was truly
wonderful. We shall soon expect to
hear her whistle at this wharf.

Excursion.

On last Wednesday the Presbyterian
Sunday School of Greensboro paid this
town a visit, and picnicked on the
spacious grounds surrounding the Pres
byterian church.
A few minutes to eleven o'clock A..
NJ, the shrill whistle of the locomotive
YES "a heard approaching, and a lively
movement among our citizens evidenc-
ed a deep interest in the celebration.
The sidewalks on Person street were
lined with throngs Of persons making
their way to the intersection of the lat
ter with Dick street up which the pro-
cession was to move. The train passed
the depot and pulled up at the crossing
of Dick and Russell streets where the
precious freight of young and old was
discharged and the procession formed,
and headed by the Presbyterian Sun
day School of this place marched double
file down the shady avenue to Person ST.,
across 10y Liberty Point to the Presby-
terrain grounds. A brighter, and hap
pier set we never witnessed. Here
they came, all ages, chatting, smiling,
intent upon the full enjoyment the
beautiful day invited. On arrival at
the grounds n eloquent address of
welcome was delivered by DIR. James
a. Hodges, which was responded to in
graceful terms by Mr.. Jas. w. Forbis,
of Greensboro. At 12 $50 the collation.
was spread meath the green canopy Of
the elm trees, and five hundred persons
fed and feasted there" At three o'clock
the train was backed down to Dick
street and the visitors taken to see the
river. At Ais the train departed for
Greensboro. The day was suspicious,
the conveniences ample, the enjoyment
complete. This social picnic is the first
of the kind that has been participated
in by the two towns. May these pleas
ant social interchanges continue and the
ties of friendship and sympathy be
strengthened between the two sections.

Shop Lifting.

An old sinner caught at his favorite
trick. Friday last, Frank Toomer a col
ored man, seventy five years of age,
formerly the trusted slave and coach
man of Judge Toomer, went into the
store of Col. Pemberton, and when as
he thought unobserved, appropriated
a dress pattern to his own use, by con-
cealing under his coat, and started out,
when he was apprehended and carried
before a Justice who committed him to
Jail to await the next Grand Jury. Col.
P. took out a search warrant and went
to his house, where he discovered sever
al pieces of stolen plumber of different
kinds.
A short time since he was detected
in the committal of a similar action,
but was not prosecuted on account OF
his extreme old age.

Baseball.

We are in receipt of a letter concern
ing the organization of a baseball club
in Fayetteville. The letter has been
crowded out, as we already had our
space occupied. Nothing would be
more conducive to the health of our
young men than a participation in this
game. We see no reason to prevent us
from having as good a club as any town
in the State. Let the young men have
a meeting at al early day, organize a
club by electing a president, vice presi-
dent, Secretary &c. It is the only way
to succeed. Nothing can be successful
without q system or an organization.

From a gentlemen who attended one

tertainment will surpass anything of
the kind ever given in this city.
The stump speech, Drill of the F. l.
