Martin Thornton's Long and successfui
Career as IA Hotel Proprietor.
To-day marks the seventeenth ami
versary OF Martin Thornton's opening
up of the hotel and restaurant business
in this city. The recently constructed
annex gives the hotel metropoiitaI,
appearance, and indicates substantial
prosperity. On the 18th OF Septemo er'
1873, Mr.. Thornton came TO this city
from Louisville, Ky, and opened d
small restaurant on Market street.
where Hibberd's plumbing establish
ment is now located. lie was
successful from the start, ana
was soon forced to remove 10
larger quarters, further up the street,
locating north of Twelfth street. Again
forced TO move by reason OF growing
trade, he located at No. 1926 Market
street, where he remained seven years
Business continued to increase and ne
purchased the splendid Brunswick
Hotel and restaurant, where he has
done business for the past four years,
ENJOYING an ever increasing patronage.
The success of Mr.. Thornton may be
attributed ia a measure TO the reasonable
charges which have always prevailed.
He was the pioneer Of low prices in the
restaurant business in this city, and has
never varied or devlated therefrom, no
matter what the condition OF the mar
kets. The table has been well kept up
at all seasons, and in addition to the
regular board Mr.. Thornton has de-
lighted many parties at special ban
DUETS. The Hotel Brunswick is CEN
trally located, and all travellers in quest
of accommodations in this line should
call.

NIGHT OF ILLUSIONS.

The worlds famous magician Herr
mann, aided by Nine. Hermann, will
be seen at the Opera House next Mon
day night, " hich will, in all probability,
attract all lovers of wonders. As an
exponent of the BLACK Art" Herr
mann has always been away up at the
top of the tree. He comes now with a
wonderful array Of new tricks and illu-
sionS, such as have never been produced
here before, among them being "Stro-
beika," his latest and greatest illusion,
"New Black Art" "A Slave Girls
Dream" ''Florine, the Child of the Air, -
AbduI Khan, the oriental fakir, and
others.
"Strobeika," Herrmann'S latest illn-
sion, seems TO be. very difficult TO eX-
pose, as no reasonable explanation Of
the clever illusion has, thus far, been
given TO the public.

excerpts were taken, goes On to say,
that this fishery was located at Eden
House in the Spring Of 1907, and that
Mr.. skinner associated with him in his
new enterprise his friend Mr. Ebsnezer
Paine.
According to our modern geograph-
ical reckoning Eden House is located
on Che wan river, though very near its
mouth, and not on AlbenarIe Sound ;
yet from the continuity Of these waters,
it is very difficult to mark their exact
boundary. and the facts are essentially
correct.
Col. r. B. Creecy was probably the
pioneer fisherman Of the lower Albe-
marie, having esta blished a fishery on
a much larger scale than ths old ones.
at Greenfield about half century ago.
Many of US remem Der when all the
fishing boats were propelled by oars,
and the seine drawn in by horses.
To the ingenuity and Inventive gen
ius of Capt. P. II. Warren belongs the
application of steam to fishing.
1t may be an interesting fact 20 know
also that the idea Of shipping fish in ice
originated with Mr Gisbon Cherry,
who shipped herring and shad in flour
barrels packed with ice and covered
with bagging.
Col. Z. G. Mitchell subsequently, in
troduced the fish boxes, which are now
universally used.
Dutch or pound nets are q modern
innovation, and were first introduced
in these waters. by Messrs. Hettrick
& Bro. abous the year 1859.

HISTORY OF FISHING
ON THE ALsEMARLE SOUND, AND CHOW.
AN RIVER.

The Fathers and Originators of this Great
Industry--The IustroduciRg Of Steam
Fishing, Packing Fish in Ice, The Fish
Box, The Dutch Net, &c. &C.
DEAR EDIToR.-Sincs the fishing
interest of the Albemarle section has
assumed such gigantic proportions, it
may interest some Of your readers to
know something of its history. From
the best authorities I can gather upon
this subject I find, that Richard Brown
rIgs. of WiAgfi on the Chowan River,
an emigrant from Ireland, was the
father and originator of the shad and
herring fishing in this country. AS
early as 1869, and even before tn at date,
he was engaged in catching herring,
and frequently shipped them salted,
and packed in hs srreis. to foreign ssmar-
kets. From the Life and correspon-
dence of James Iredell'' extract the
following * tier from Thomas Iredell
of ST. Dorothys, Jamaica, to his nephew
James IredelI then collector OF Customs
for Edenton.
ST. DOROTHYs. July 10th. 1869.
DEAR NEPHEW i have already wrote
you by this Conveyance. | have de-
termiHed to make trial Of run away
negro [ send you, His name is Spencer.
Dispose of him as you can, and by first
opportunity remit netproCeeds ia red
oak hogshead slaves, and about twenty
barrels Of herrings. X
am told the gentleman who carries
en the herring fi.hing is Mr.. Bro wn-
rig1, brother to Councillor Br@Nnrigg
OF this Island, with whom I AMI init
mately acquainted. He is a gentleman
greatly esteemed here. and married
into very gentsel fsmily-the widow
of man of fortune,
Your Affectionate Uncle.
THOS. IREDELL.
Thomas Brownrigg succeeded his
father ia this profitable business. and
later on established fisheries at Belvi-
dero and Sandy Point aud perhaps
others. The collator Of the above
memoirs justly remarks, the Edenton
district is still celebrated (1857) for the
fine herrings caught iii its waters, they
are we'll cured, and the bes: to be had
i'll America for the table" Mr.. Josiah
Collins the Elder also established,
about the beginning CT this century,
fishery on Edsnton Bay, but it was
comparatively small, aud was probab-
ly located at Collins Point, what is
now Familiarity called Cherrys P int
Governor Iredell, known as Second
Iredell, says in his obituary notice of
the Hon. jos. B. Skinner, that he was
the first to fish seine upon the Albe-
marie Sound proper. Judge Nash says
of him ITO Mr. Skinner l haye always
heard, the residents on the Chowar
and Albemar are in great measure
indebted for their fisheries. Not that
he was the first to spread a seine in
these waters, but that he was the first,
by his enterprise and energy, who
brought that knowledge to the use,
and benefit of the community at large
To him the State is indebted for having
led the way in developing this great
national interest.
Whon Mr.. Skinner first informed
Mr.. Collins of his project to operate
a fishery on the sound, and appealed
30 hIm for pecuniary aid, he frowned
upon it as foolish, aud impractical.
The memoir, from which the abeye
