Some report there are enough yet on their trees to insure good fruit. We hope there will be a much better crop than was thought could be the case after the recent cold snap. The Noith Asheville greenhouse? are ready to be visited and enjoyed, and are rapidly blooming out into a "thing of beauty" and we trust will prove a joy forever for our city. 1 he stock of rare plants and shrubs is very large, -. and families can be supplied now with promptness.

Hardy Webb and Miss Wilhelmena Wus'ow, both of this citv; were united in marriage. The ceremonies were per formed by Kev. tv. w. says, m a most impressive manner, a reception was given the bappy couple by the groom's parents on French Broad Avenue last evening, to which quite a number of friends and relatives were present to enjoy the occasion. We extend con- j.' De Haven's Circus Gave its first performance yesterday to a well filled canvass- All in al', it was a better show than we expected, and is worth the small price of admission, twen ty-five cents, which gives access to all of the shows. There is .an elephant, camel, dromedary, sacred cow, tiger, lions of several sorts, bear, and Beveral others, with some fine birds, all worth seeing if never seen. The athletic, acjrobotic and some other parts were good, some parts very excellent. The management seems desirious of giving the full worth of the money, and we think succeed, lhe clowns are good, and make yon laugh whether you want to or not. The per formances will be repeated to-day at 2 p. m. and 8 p. m; also to-morrow, at same hours. A Few Fish by a Dam Site. According to notice and by special in vitation we visited the fish-pond of Capt. Natt Atkinson yesterday, to witness the draining off. Some months ago Capt. A. put several hundred young carp into this pond, and thinking they were in fine condition for spawning concluded to draw off the pond, so as to catch the hsh and distribute to those who might wish to.get a supply of this fine finny fish. The drawine-off was a success,' aslthe wa ter flowed freely; but the Capt. was rather disappointed in not getting more than one hundred good fisu, when he expect ed several hundred. Those obtained were very hne, weighing from two and a half to five pounds each; but, some varmint evidently has been plating the mischief with the Captain f hsh. He generously distributed a number to his friends, and has on hand fifty forifine spawners, which should be called soon by those wanting. We thank him for our share. . Newspaper Apvertising- . The Philadelphia Times says: The waste of Booriey by ill - advertising is nearly, or quite as much, as would liber ally advertise trade in the best chan nels. Many establishments spend more for costly circulars and their distribution than would present their business to hundreds of thousands of thrifty dealers through widely read newspapers, and the circular seldom reaches any others than a servant, as it passes to the waste basket or kindling box. The advertisements of our leading retail stores are as regularly read in the leading newspapers by men, women and children in families, as are weather, market and fashion reports. They are made fresh and readable as genius and skill can make them, and while circulars serve the only purpose of starting the morning hre. the wise advei tiser daily summons his customer from the homes of the land, and his advertis- Lihg is the life of his trade. The fact that there is not a great advertiser in legiti mate trade in this city who has not gathered a fortune from his business. while old and anrjarentlv well establish ed houses have languished and died, is conclusive proof that the newspaper which commands large circles of intelli gent and progressive readers is the open nigoway to business success and iortune. What is true of Philadelphia is true of Asheville and other trade centers. The circle of readers of the Daily and Weekly Citizen comprises the best people of Asheville and Western Carolina and East-Tennessee, and our advertising rates are within the reach of all too low in truth. " - The Asheville Homestead and Loan Association. The Citizen ever takes pleasure in commending to our people what tends to promote their best interests,, and we know of no enterprise, which we can re commend more sincerely than that above named. It bean business on the 6th of October last, with an excellent Board of Directors, to-wit : L. (J. waddell, Presi dent, T. C. Westalli Vice President, T. W.ratton, Secretary ana ireasnrer, ii. F. Scott. W. T. Penniman, J. G. Lindsey. A. R. Cooley, and W. H. Penland, Direc tors. ' We are gratified, but not surprised to learn of their success- During six months their collections were $4,778.35, a very small part of which was required to pay expenses, which are reduced to a minimum, and the balance used at ' once to help those stockholders, who wished to do so, in building residences for them selves, thereby saving themselves rent. wnicn so soon eats np a mechanic's in come. Assistance has oeen given in building thirteen houses. We would be glad to see the number of shareaincreas ed to the full number, allowed by the charter 5,000 shares, and the Directors very wisely have decided to open a sec ond series, to begin on -May 1st, to enable new stockholders to come in, and par ticipate in the benefits of the Associa tion. Any person who have money for investment can find no safer, and but for more lucrative places for it, as if they do not wish to borrow, they are assured of 8 per cent interest compounded every mown; and they have also the satisfaction of helping many worthy men to provide homes for themselves,-who can do so in no other way. Messrs. T. C Westell. A R. Cooley, and J. G. Lindsey are a com mittee in charge of the second series, and we are sure they will meet with favorable responses from many. of our people. . . , .

He had recently moved to Hickory from GrandJBapidsj Michi gan, lie was an excellent gentle man, about so years oi age and fatheiMn-law of Mr.' W. D. Shuler, cashier of that bank. - We do not wish Messrs. Gladstone and Parnell to think that all Ashe ville is not in full sympathy with them and their fellow countrymen in their efforts to save Ireland from the threatened tyranny of the coer cion bill. We have had no public meeting as yet, butjare ready to meet and express sympathy whenever it may be needed. Asheville will never be behind in any good work. Dr. W. A. Nelson, pastor of the First Bapti Church in this city has we, learn, accHed an invitation to deliyerjthe Baccalaureate sermon be fore the senior class of young la dies, in the Newman college, at Mossy Creek, Tenn., on the zUth of May. Mossy Creeek boasts of two of the most famous colleges in East Ten nessee. Carson College is for males and was founded nearly a-half century ago. Its graduates fill many high and important position, in all parts of the country. Newman College is for females, and was started since the war, but ranks very high as an educational institution. Both these schools are under the patronage of the Baptists, and have students from old Bun combe. Off fob Saism Mrs. Capt M. J. Fagg, Mrs. Maj. W. W. Rollins -of Marshall, and Mrs. J. M. Smith of Asheville, leave today for Salem, N- C. where they go to visit their daughters, Misses. Minnie Fagg, Emma Rollins and Edith Smith. We hope they will enjoy their trip, as we are sure they will enjoy the beautiful faster ser vices at the College. The young ladies, we know, will be very happy. Oor Pre-historic Crrv A Side- wxk, Curbing and all, Found Several Feet Under the Sub- face, in the Middle of the Street. While excavating yesterday in the middle of ' Patton Avenue for the escape pipe of the fountain, the workmen, when several feet under the surface, struck a pavement with regular cut curbing, and with cobble-stone pavement.-; Alderman Alonzo Rankin, and others of our oldest citizens say not - within their memory was work of that kind done here, and that the pavement should be exactly in th6 middle of the street enhances the "mystery. . It must have been done when Ashe ville was inhabited by a different race from that which exists to-day, but they evidently possessed intelli gence, enterprise and local pride, and foresaw the grand preparations which the future mountain metropolis- would attain. It must have been a people who required narrow streets and narrow sidewalks, this sidewalk being about three feet wide. It the excavations could be carried further there is no doubt but that something very interesting would be found. Thia busy life, however, will not justify a waste of time and high-priced territory to hunt for such hidden treasures. The city authorities are having the pre-historic side-walk taken up, but whether to place in our city muse am or not has not yet been decided. That slight cold yoa think so little of may prove the forerunner oi a complaint that mav be fatal.- Avoid this result by taking Ayer's Cherry tectoral, the best oi known remedies xor cows, cougns, catarrahs. bronchitis.incipient consump tion, and. all - other throat and lnng diseases. . f. . : : - . - taps Peanuts at wholesale, at Moore, and Robard's. . . - - -.r , ,tf ' Champagne cider, a very refreshing dnnk, at Moore et KODaraa. . u Lttndreth Garden seed at t ... , ; "7 ;, - . . PELtlAM's, State Affairs: The Raleigh correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch under date of the 6th inst , gives the following items : Your correspondent . to-day interview ed Secretary Wilson, of the State Horti cultural Society; in regard to the damage to fruit by the frosts. He says nine tenths of tbe peaches are killed, bat that on high land in the central part of tbe State enough are left for a good crop. All pears in bloom, comprising all the early varieties, are killed. -Grapes snd apples are not hurt A prominent truck er from' the Newberne section to-day said that the loss by frosts to truck there is certainly half of the crop. - Prof. E. A. Alderman, superintendent of the Goldsboro Graded School, has been elected superintendent of tbe Ashe ville Summer Normal School. He is a very able educator." ' . It is likely that there will be trouble in a few days over the drummers license matter. A'drummer said to your corres pondent to-day that he had taken out no Kcense,bat waUiifO rightahesd and I sell. He said that many sheriffs are- not f interfering with drummers at all. An enormous bear was killed yesterday by a party of fifty citizens of the town oi snansboro', Hyde county, t he bear very coolly entered the town. With every sort of weapon and with dogs by the score the people pursued the bear. A dozen shots were fired at the animal, which entered a small pond, Captain Heady, one of the hunters, jumped upon his back, and so rode across the pond. Then another attack was made upon the bear, and in two hours' time he was kill ed and carried back to the town by the triumphant huntsmen. - Mr. Parnell is said to be hopeful The Tories are meeting new dfficul ties in their plan of coercion. Their Land bill is discredited. The Eng lish masses are turning against co ercion They are not favorable to the atrocious plans of desperate pol iticians and meetings are held de nouncing coercion. A great many meetings will be held all over the country. Mr. Thomas Power O'Con ner telegraphs to the New York World on the 2ud : "The wild scenes marking the close ot the first stage of the coer cion struggle produced a sensation. Gladstonef ought all through the bat tle with splendid and unfailing cour age. He delivered a speech, warn ing the Speaker against the cloture. When the Speaker granted the clot ure mad rage prevailed all around. Mr. Gladstone passed out to the di vision-lobby alone. The Liberals and Irish sprang to their feet and waved their hats, and Gla&itone bowed gravel v. In the divison lob by be expressed his-feelings openly. exhibiting fierce resentment against the Speaker s action. He took bis departure from the House immedi ately after, followed by all his col leagues, then by all the Liberals The Irish made the greatest attack upon the Speaker ever recorded in English history. Peel s prestige is entirely gone. Every Liberal now publicly declares that Peel no lon ger acts as Speaker, but as a Presi dent of of a French Assembly and a tool of the majority." The Chesapeake Nail Works, Harnsburg, Pa., employing about 200 men, and the Lochiel and Pax- ton furnaces, have ceased operations until the railroad and transportation companies reach some conclusion regarding freight rates. The mill owners say they cannot continue business under the Inter-State act, as interpreted now. Several nun dred men are thrown out of employ ment. Recently the head of a great Bor deaux wine house called on Prince Bismarck, who for years has pur chased most of his wines from that house. The man of blood and iron gave an order for a large consign ment of wines, and then the French man discreetly fished for an opinion as to the probability of a war. "Tut, tut,'' exclaimed tbe Prince ; "what put war into your head? Do you suppose I would order wine of you if I expected war 2 No, no. I would come and get it myself." The latest returns of the Chicago election have not. materially chang ed the vote as announced.

Thf Virginia Legislature has tas ken a recess until the 6th of May, in order to give time for. its snecial committee to confer with the for eign bond-holders. The trustees of Trinity College have elected Prof. John F. Crowell, of Fredericksburg, Pa., President; Prof. Jos. L. Aruisitrong, of Balti more, to the chair of German and French, and Rev. John F. Heitman to the chair of Greek and Metaphys ics. The Interstate Commission has suspended, for ninety days, the 4th selection, long and short haul clause of the law, so far as the Southern Railway and Steamship Association are concerned. This Association embraces all railway and steamship lir,es operating South of the Poto mac and Ohio Rivers, and East ol the Mississippi except the Southern Pjieific . roatia. This . of course includes the R. and D. system. The latest fad in "Washington so ciety, we are informed, is the adop tion by the young girls of a French accent in their. English speech. Possibly this sudden freak fore shadows a change from English to firrnch fashions in other things. Then Worth will be in. favor again and Redfern hopelessly out. Bos ton Pot. Boston has had a $150,000 fire. Stockston, the county seat of Rooks county, Kansas, a thrifty wide awake city tit the second class, is carving its way, says a special in the New York Herald, to national fame by the novel manner in which it is treating the new municipal suffrage law. The men have agreed to give the women a chance to make a supreme test of their ability to deal with public affairs ; and in order to do this they have stepped aside and will simply watch the result of the trial. The entire city ticket Mayor, Councilmen, etc. is composed of ladies, wha were unanimously nominated to the position. Stockston is on the south folk of Solomon River, and has lately voted to build waterworks. The handling of this im portant matter will be left to the women who will have to let all contracts, see that contractors perform their work properly, nay off the men and supervise things generally. The city is on the cen tral branch of a Missouri Pacific line thai is likely to be extended this year, and they will have an opportunity to grap ple with railroad question among other things. In short, the municipal govern ment is to be handed entirely over to the ladies, and the whole nation will watch with eager interest the result of an experiment that is without parallel in the history of modern times. .
