THE GREELY RELICS.
They Will he Placed on Exhibition
During the Carnival.


During the Carnival.
The directors Of the ice carnival associa-
tion have fortunately secured an exceed
ingly interesting attraction to add to those
already on the carnival grounds. This at
traction consists of the relics of the Lieut.
Greely party. 1t is not known precisely
what these relics will consist of. Lieut..
Greedy, when the idea of sending them up
here was first laid before him, fell in with
it most cordially, and this, undoubtedly.
had much to do with inducing the secretary
of war to permit them to be sent here.
Lieut.. Greely Immediately commenced Sc
lecting from the mass Of relics such as in
his judgment would be the most interesting
satisfactory TO those who will be likely 70
gaze upon them. 1t is probable that they
will consist of clothing worn by the men OF
the expedition, the boats used by them. the
sleds, and all varieties of things that could
be picked up at the spot where the survivors
were found. The following correspondence
between Mr.. ID. r. Noyes, one of the exec
utive committee of the carnival association,
the secretary of war and Senator Mcmillan,
furnishes an explanation in regard to how
the relics were obtained:

NORFOLK, VA, February l0.-The
wrecking steamer Victoria Peed reports
having discovered schooner sunk in
four fathoms of water in Lynnhaven
bay, with her masts and rigging above
water. In the rigging were found
blankets and clothing, as if the people
on board had dashed themselves when
the vessel sunk. 1t is considered almost
certain that it is the wreck Of the
schooner Anthea Godfrey. The captain
had his wife and five daughters on
board. Had any on board survived it
is more than probable they would have
been heard from before this.
The schooner O. Ii. Kirk sailed from
New York at the same time the Godfrey
did, and neither has since been heard
from.
A negro fireman named James Bart
lett, of the tug Juniper, has been car
ried to st. Vincent's Hospital, shot
through the breast. He attacked Green

and was shot through the breast just
above the heart. His case is critical.

cussion Of very entertaining nature
was had upon the various matters pre-
sented. A short time was spent in
hearing brief reports from each lodge
in the State. Much important informa-
ton was exchanged. These reports
gave insight into the condition of the
order in the State, and were found very
satisfactory. The reports from the
country lodges were particularly graft

could come out and follow in their
wake. The three steamers came up the
river, the Newberne leading and break
ing the ice. When they got to Cobb's
Point the Dickerman gave signals OF
distress, and was found to be leaking
badly and sinking, the ice having cut

sank in shallow water.

The streets of Portsmouth are filled

The truckers now state that their
cabbage and pea-crops have not been

time to replant, and the results would
be equally as profitable. The great
tendency every season with our truck
ers is over-production, and thousands of
dollars worth Of stuff is left to rot on
every farm because the price will not
pay to market it. The Irish-potato
growers say the continued wet weather
is making planting very backward.
Several burglaries are reported in
our suburban villages last night.
