As an evidence of tho very great need
of rain in this vicinity, and the up-country
as well, we will mention tho fact that two
porpoises were seen spoutiDgaboutinthe
river here day before yesterday afternoon.
Now some smart somebody may say well
that no evidence but we say it is, be
cause, the water in tho river, owing to the
great scarcity of rain has become brackish
. e. tainted with salt, and consequently,
the salt water fish are seen , where only
fresh water fish generally exist. Do the
doubting Thomas' accept the explanation
and are they satisfied,? Well, then so are
wc.

Pursuant to a call,! the Third Ward
Democratic Cub met at Mund's Hall last
evecing. A list of Jhe unregistered Toters
of Third Ward was submitted to tbe
meeting by Mr. J. W. King, who bad
taken tho trouble to prepare it.
Upon motion, Committees were ap
pointed to call on those who bad not regis
tered and request them to do so immedi
ately. Let other Ward Clubs do the
same, and we venture the assertion, that
tbe mnjirity of the now unregistered, will
register. Jt is worth the trial.

. Cosn Treed.
A liille darkey treed a coon on Fifth,
between Market aud Princes?? ' streets, this
morning. A crowd ga: hired arinmd the
tree and tried to ki.ock hl coonsbip out
with rocks and sticks, but to no avail.
Fiually a gentleman living in tb neighbor
hood, brought out his pistol aud lired three
times, one ball taking effect, which brought
the coon down, but no sooner had he
struck the ground than did he "giUup-and-git."
The last that was seen; of the coon it
was running up Princess street toward the
woods, making faster time than Ten
Broeck or Mollie McCarthy ever made.
More Than lie could Stand..
A old darkey from Rocky Point, stopped
in at tbe City Hall this morning in search
of the Chief of Police, and when that mag
nate was pointed out, he approached him
"as a darkey of the old school" does, with
unsovered head and a polite "good morn
ing massa." The old man's son, a boy
of sixteen years of age bad run away from
him, and came to this county, and was
going to entor the field as a third Rich
mond, for the Sheriffalty of New llan
over county. 14he old man said he was
an honest, hard working man and that
his fantily had never been disgraced be
torc, and now at this time of life, for bis
boy to be an aspirant for Republican
honors, was more than he could stand.
Ills tale of distress and the graphic pic
ture be drew of his wife going down to
her grave in shame and sorrow for her
boy, was more than the Chief could stand
who gently wiped the tears from bis eyes
and told the old man that the city had no
power to gi?e him any assistance in cap
turing the boy unless the law had besn
violated. The old man rejoined "but
massa, da law ob 'spectability and'de
family ob whicb I'se a member, is vi'la
ted by dat boy 'sociatin wid sich people
and 'spsusen sich a cause," and the poor
old man left witl bowed head and down
cast eyes muttering to himself spose
dese gray hairs will bo carried down to de
grave in shame and sorrow."
