The several schemes which have in terested as here connected with an abun dance of ice ior summer, independent of that bug-bear of Bill Nye, "climate" al came to grief from causes which 'we can not explain. They all fell through and last summer "climate" and. Kennebeck kept usjin the needed refrigerant But Capt. Rosa' enterprizd is a fixed fact; and the only hitch is in the supply of water. The Question of that supply is merely one of convenience. Mr. Koss made applica tion to the City Council on Friday night for leave to nse the water of the water works. This would enable him to put his machinery in a central point which would save much time and expense in delivery, and put the ice in accessible position for casual custom. We can see no objection to the grant of the use. as the supply for years to come will be super abundant, and much will go to waste under any circumstances. We have not yet obtained information as to the kind of machinery to be used. The plant has been purchased, and can be used for a daily ont wit of five tit un . tons as may be expedient At another time we will have mere toi say on the subject in explanation of thft. enterprise, -V - I aixv t J . The Bbavtiks op thx Swanxaxoa. As illustrated in the photographs of Lindsey show to every eye that the "Nymph of Beauty" has found an accur ate and appreciative interpreter. It is true that the Camera and tbe sensitized plate must do what it is set to do:" They do so inevitably and mechanically. But just here the genius of the' artist comes in to regulate mechanical effects and to give those effects of fine art which taste and skill only can produce. . I.hese "beauties of 'the SWannanoa" are bits taken from points along the river which every one who. has seen them will re cognize as -living reproductions of the originals. One defect ..of-photographic landscape representation does not exist in Mr. Lindsey's pictures that garish, often ghastly, fight which makes every scene a winter one. Tbese pictures are really taken in winter; but except that foliage is absent, they are just as reality presents them the reaches of smooth water, tbe breasts of tumbling cascades, the over arching trees, the quiet of soli tude, tbe light and the shade, all lay be fore the eye with the soft tender truth of the original. These pictures are worth study. Some of them are on exhibition on the street; all may be seen on the gal lery; and we imagine that visitors and citizens alike would be glad to secure these beautiful mementos of the lovely 8wannanoa.

'condition of society. These evils when not repressed by a strong hand speedily rot aay the suppoits of a community by destroying the sense of the - enormity of such crimes against society. Some of these things exist in this community, and are destroying physically and mentally, many young men, who might become valuable mem-i bers of society. This city has become of late a centre to which are turned the steps of many whose ways are dark, and pursuits eyil, and with the incoming of the expected thousands thin summer, their numbers will increase. It is high time to crush out these evils, while in embryo before they acquire a firm foothold and bring reproach upon the fair name of Asheville Old Viboinia Nevks Tires.

So spake 'Squire Johnson, the senior magistrate in andfor the 'Lick Creek Deestrict, as he took hU seat on the work -bench in the wagon shop which served him for a lempie of Justice. ; In response to his question, Jim Niion, the officious constable, re plied:. ' ; "She's out thar behin', the shop, tied in. the jam of the- fence, Jedge." . The'Juce gravely - proceeded to pat on ls spectacles, -after polish ig therjiyery: deliberately with a bil.kiihuketiefJSo many of the Spectators as .cotiid femnd seats on the blocks and saw'4w5rs8 and old plows ancl .rwagoo-bodis with which tbefdirt floor ofihe shop was cimbered; the syf-61e'cted "prominent citizens" of "the hejgh borhood ranged themselvea . aleng side the 'Squire on the work-"bench like a jury of Roman Senators, and the common herd who could find no seats about the floor; and dared not encroach upon the sacred seat of Justice scuffled out of the door and strolled around behind th' shop tr-l have a look at the heiier w h. .. was in controversy. The trial about to begin -was one in which all the people of the - Lick Creek settlement took a deep, and abiding interest, In fact, no such sensation had been known among these good people since the United States Marshall had taken Lige Stewart down to Louisville . to be tried "fur billin' up a little crap "ov peaches an' a few bushels ov corn," as the iriends ot the accused mildly put it, though kthe minion3 of. the law insisted and, I believe, proved that Ligo had been gulty of illicit distilling. Just now tyo of the first" citizens of this little community were at log gerheads-over the ownership of a attle roan heiier, with a crumtiled horn and a general aspect of patient resignation and unrequited love. The heifer would have sold, per haps, for as much as six dollars un? der the most favorable circum stances. Cut the two men who claimed her were stubborn as'mules, and as determined to win her. as - if that little, crooked- off fore-foot of heis were the hand of a princess. Neither of them had ever been beat en in a law-suit or a fight ; both had largo wealth for that country. Each of them had BwornjaccoFding to Tize Gaarbte7the neighborhood Aiiow-an, tu ecu cyciji ucau stock offen his place, an' J3afSc how-all. "to sell every head ov evefV-foot ov grouo.-4a-rthe farm, but what fce'd git that heffer." The two me.3 were widely known in all the Lick Creek district and several adjacent counties, and every body expected the contest W.tffeen them to be a bitter one. They had been close neighbors and hitherto fast friends until this unfortunate affair of the little roan heifer had estranged them. Which would prove to be the better man in this conflict was a matter of grave doubt among the wiseacres, and of most intense speculation among tha younger and more excitable mem bers of the community. Every body, of course, had taken sides with one or the other of the disputants, and every body who could produce the portable proper ty to "put up," had bet something on the issue. The house of Skinner and the house of Monroe had de clared w r against each, other, neigh borly relations had ceased between them; their children made mouths at .one another behind the teacher's back in the district school,'; the two wives spoke not as they passed each other going to and from, the only store in the town of Skimpton; they walked loftily, full , of high and proud disdain, and jn the little log church on Sundays, during a l the tedious length of Parson' VVashem's sermon, eacbsat upright and glared stony eyed toward the bench where upon the other sat. . . Outside thd families of the com batants the excitement. was almost as intense. The cobbler had wag ered a pair of home-made brpgans with the blacksmith against a set ot trace-chains and . a "swingle-tree Good oldjarson Washem himself, Ironside liaptist as ne was,naa Det with the school-master a jug oi new "Deach and honey of the Jrarson s own make against a tiouaroi tne pedagogic salarj-. This last bet was not proclaimed on the house-tops, for the Parson sad: I'm a-gwine ter give that money toe the heathen, you know, and the Good Book says we must n t tell our left han' what the right han7 is a-doin' ov. So vou see, J errymier, I am jest a-winnin ov . your money fur the Lord's cause, an' to teach you not ter put your trust in earthly things." . To which Jeremiah Crane, the school master, made solemn but somewhat sarcas'ic reply, saying: "Yes, Parspn, fyou ever git that money if vou git it, Parson I know you'll use it right;, but I'm a-sroin' to give the bulk of that 'peach an honey" to the heathen mvself. .' You know vou said-n your sermon last Sunday . that the Methodist was. benighted heathen an' I'm a Methodist." In such a state ot tntad as this the good citizens of the Lick Creek dis trict had assembled on this eventful day to see the trial, and know the PRICE 5 CENTS result of what has been been widely I known in all thoSA n!,rrS vPr ,nJ as "i ne ureat rlerler Case." The two litigants were on hand with their -tale of witnesses and their troops of friends Sam Skinner, the plaintiff", with an agsjressive and knowing look upon his face, and Mose Monroe, seeming - to be as quietly confident as if the'ease had been tried and won. The heifer was behind the shop, tied inr the "jam ov the fence." Two youthful lawy&S5rom the county town, were arrangingJanarmfulof books on the vacant spaces of the work bench not occupied already by prominent citizens ot tne t-ouit sown majestic person. A deep silence prevailed! off.. mas - E '. trv tVi?a noA"VKrrTtt. f Ka ifxun. InaPFnvfrf said the 'Squire when he had found the pTop'er spot to serve as a bridge ior tne- spectacles on bis Koman nose. -v " ' Both sides :. a nswered "Read v," without delay, and the young law yers opened the case to the com prehension of the court in many words, and with much quotation from their books to sustain the po sitions thev "expected to occudv. Then the witnesses were sworn and the trial began. A.llT'f i ..Oon.'!'- 1 their icuiumg. Jiach ubjecied n to every question asked by tbe other, ana to every answer ot a witness in favor of the other side. Long-win- ciea speeches were made pro and con, and hair-splitting passages were read in support thereof from Stephens and Chitty.. much to the wonder ment of the crowd, which, had re turned from ' aii inspection of the heifer and overflowed th.e interior of the "shop.JWitnesseelwere badgered ; technicalities of all sorts were lugg ed in, and every device their inge nuity could Buggest was brought to bear to obscure the case and con vince the bystanders of the wonder ful and mysterious unwisdom of the aw. The learned judge grew restive, in time, " of their quibbling, finally he took" the bit in his own teeth. As "Uncle Billy Willis reported it afterward : - "He jest rered back on his pas tern jints 'Squire Johnson did, and sizzer . "Gentlemen, this court sets hre to fine out whose roan heffer that is,' an' it's a-goin' to fine out, an' doti't want no dust throwed in its eyes by nobody.

Now jest keep this in mind and let them witnesses tell ther tale. There's a heap ov excitement about this case an' some chance oy a feud growin' up outen it. I don'tflntend to have men a-huntin' one another with guns in Lick Creek deestrict ef lean help it. an' I think 1 kin. This court's a going to fine out all about that heffer, an' seltle this case lor good ; an' I "vant it understood now, that the court s a-goin to enu tne thing, an' the man that Uikes an ap peal from my judgment Iris got this court to whip in a far an' squar fight before h? gits a copy ot tne jedgmfnt.' " The squire was known to oe a pretty tcuph.citizen in arough-and tumble fight, and not given to eat- 112 hi own woms : so the trial went on with very little triction after this deliverance from the bench. But it was a very puzzling case, and th.e more evidence was heard the more the doubt grew as to whose title to the little roan heifer was the better. There was just a baker's dozen of witnesses on each side. Both men reasoned Irom past experience ; both reasoned alike, and both came to the same conclu sion. Each man believed that his opponent would have a dozen wit-' nesses, and" thf-refore added one to his own side, making thirteen... The heifer was led into court, and fOXCLCPED ON FOURtH PA(Gfe. It is spriue. A resurrection of nature's latent forces is taking place. Like the world around you, renew your complex ion, invigorate your powers, cleanse the channels of life.
