as in the same proportion that you

A Gool Inventment.
A colored resident of this city by
the name of Win. Johnson made a
lucky investment in a pair of shad
last Saturday.' He paid 25 cents for
a pair of buck which he took home
to his wife, ho set to work at once
to clean them. In doiug so she came
acros a silver five cent piece in the
entrails and a little further .search
revealed a silver half dollar. The
latter was almost black. How the
money got there nobody knows,
of course.
The Hie Fresh in Black Kiver.
i lie iresiiet in lilac k luver is one
of the largest if not the very larg
est ever kno wn. A resident of the
Caintuck section who ishere to-day
savs that the banks of the river are
all overflowed and that the water is
out in the woods. A number of in
stances are reported where it is up
to the door steps of dwelling houses
and in one instance a colored uian
had to abandon his house and ilea
to higher ground. At fast accounts
however, the water was - subsiding.
The Moon in April.
The April moon fulls on the 26th

in close conjunction with Saturn at
7h. 29' a. m., being 1. 5' south. She

pays her respect to Jupiter, lat in
the train, on the 27th, the day after
the'full, at 8h. 16' p. m., being 3 26'
