All receiv ing subscriptions or sending in new names before January 1st will be entitled to the Post for 1870 at the exceeding low price of THREE DOLLAltS PER ANNUM ! Let all who claim to believe, Republican ideas, and desire to show allegiance to the Nation al Government assist the only true American prgan in this section. To quote a disj tinguished writer: "It is the shame of anyf Citizen owning allegiance to the flag that he subscribes for or assists the organs of treason and does not stand by the only National paper worthy of the name in North Carolina." The Post has been improved at much cost and is worthy the aid of all good citizens, i 41 Days of plenty have come at last, Hard times go away to compo more." Money is plenty. Every ones pockets and hands are filled. I have walked about this city to observe the condition ol the people. Want and poverty is not here; wealth and comfort abounds. Any one doubting this assertion let , them . take a stroll through Front street and witness the thousands flocking to the fancy goods stores, especially at Iligbee's, near Dock street. That store is crowded all day, and at night he sells at auction and the crowd is still greater. No wonder, for he sells fine goods cheap. Higbee is the pioneer in putting down high prices. He has. the greatest stock of the kind ever exhibited in this city : Crockery, China, Glass Ware, and Toys in great va riety. The Zoctropc Dancing figures: and the Cross Baby arc curious indeed. Higbee is one of the greatest auctioneers I ever heard talk. Veritas. Our Schools. We had the pleasure of yisiting the44 Union Free School "last week, and to-day paid a visit to the 44 Hemming way School," at the North end of the city. These two schools are under the charge of Mis3 Amy M. ' Bradley, with au efficient cojrps of seven teachers. ' There are about three hundred and fifty pupils all taught without money and without price. ? The children have improved very much. We can say without hesitation that these schools are equal to any frqc schools iu the IjJnited States, considering the time they have beeu in existence. We regret that - our good citizens' do not take more interest - in Miss Bradley's work. It is doing great good. Only think, three hundred and fifty poor white children taken out of the streets and made into good citi zens! ,.V. , ; - , " We learn that Mis3 Bradley intends giv ing the children a Christmas Tree and oth erwise adding to their happiness on Christ mas day. It will, we are sure, add many rays of sunshine to the clouded lives of these poor children, to whom happiness cometh like 44 Angels visits." - . v The blessing of our good Lord follows those, who bring little children unto Him.

Wise, in sending us a sample of those beautiful oysters thus memorizeth : On the 18th of November 1807, 1 selected twenty-four smooth shell siDgle oysters with out regard to size or shape, from a natural rock. They were planted among the worm eaten timbers of a wreck partly submerged and in a position where the tide would sel dom ebb sufficiently to leave them. They l.fi .t ll. . ''l 11 leu uuuisiuiueu unm ine lOUOWing April 18G8, when in an experimental sur vey II noticed what appeared to be blisters of water on the top shell of nearly all, and some few spots of the same nature on the decaying timbers. A few weeks later and a limish crust had formed over the largest excresences and the miniature exhibition of an oyster was apparent. In, the month of November, on the day twelve months from the. date of my, first labor, I visited the wreck and to what a transformation ! The dead matter was rejuvenated with life: the entire surface dotted with the living forms ol 44 luscious bivalves," some of sufficient size to tempt the appetite of the votary of the half shell. To-day I have the pleasure to invite your inspection and comparison of the two years old from that feeble begin ning of 1867. They will bear the test. And now, sir, this astonishing development is not from rare combinations of scientific appliances, but is the natural result of i cir cumstances that exist ; without the aid of those progressive agencies of which the orator at the Fair .Grounds spoke, viz: steam, electricity and the press. To what, you may ask, arc the hindran ces to a successful venture of capital and labor in this direction. I answer : we need tub influence of the press to. bring the ideas off practicaroperatiou. We need the agen cy of steam to startle the mouldy elements of stagnant water courses and give the em phatic sequel of Carlyles grand problem 44 something to dp, and how to do it," and with these we can leave to Agassiz arid Du Challiu the questions involved in anamacu- Icvs. oysters, and realize tor New River the truth of 4 Gaston's Carolina," Rich orein her bosom , And life in her fountains.'
