A Shell Boa1 in Preferable.
Ex-Mayor Fishhlate, who leaves
here to-night for New York, will
take advantage of the opportunity
and will visit Washington City for
the purpose of urging the necessity
for an appropriation for the con
struction of a road from Fourth
street to the National Cemetery.
The idea now seems to be that if
this road is constructed it will be
macadamized, but we think this is
a mistaken idea. As well as we can
ascertain a hard shell roadway can be
built, and perhaps maintained, for
les than the cost of a macadamized
road. There is no better road in
the world than a well-constructed
shell road and it is easily kept up.
Once constructed there are enough
shell thrown out by the oyster
houses in this city to keep it in per
petual repair.

The Fire In Brunswick.
We spoke briefly yesterday of the
loss by fire at Judge Russell's place
in Brunswick county. Further par
ticulars place the loss at about $4,
000 in all but we are glad to know
that the stock was not burned, as
the first report indicated. "VTe. clip
the following from this
Star:
Judire Russell's "Winnebo"fanm
on Town Creek in Brunswick; eoun
ty, was the scene of a fearful fi
last Thursday evening. The fi
broke out about 8 o'clock in ja large
barn which contained one thousand
bushels of corn and four hundred
bushels of peanuts. This bapi, and
another, containing a large jqnanti
ty of forage, and the horse stables,
were all consumed by the flames in
a few: liurjutes. Tile horses and
mules were all taken out and none
of the lires of the livestock -Was lost.
Through the determined efforts of
the peopleon the place, and with
the assistance of the neighbors, the
other bariis, the gin-house with val
uable machinery, the grist liill and
engine and alt other buildings were
saved. The loss is estimated jat $4,
000, upou which there is no insurance.
It is thought by some that the fire
was caused by an incendiary; but
Mr. Johnson, the superintendent of
the farm,' is of the opinion that it
was of accidental origin. A j policy
of insurance of some eight hundred
dollars on one of the barns burned
expired only a few days ago. j

Advice to Mothers.
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children
are cutting teeth. It relieves the lit
tle sufferer at once; it produces nat
ural, quiet sleep by relieving the
child from pain, and the little cher
ub awakes as "bright as button." It
is very pleasant to taste. It soothes
the child, softens the gums, allays
all pain, relieves wind, regulates the
bowels, and is the best known reme
dy for diarrhoea, whether arising
from teething or other causes.
Twenty five cents a bottle.
