Robert Strange, the beloved Rector of St. James1 Church, has been made happier this, New Years than usual.. He is the father of a pretty little girl which was born, we ! hear, on New Years. It is notable that this is the first child born to an Episcopal clergyman in this city in a quarter of a century and it is the first which has been born in St. James3 Rectory since the birth of Rev. Robert Drane, not less than 35 years ago. Indeed, vit is said that there have been but these two births there in nearly 50 years. 4 Installation of Officers. - At the regular meeting of Orion Lodge No. C7, I. (. O.

Mortuary Report for .December. Dr. F. W. Potter, Suyerintendeirt of Health, has filed jh is report for th month of December. There were 10 deaths among the whites and 19 among the- colored populaT tioh. Of the former 5 were males and 5 females; 4 vere adults and 6 were children. Of the latter 9 were males and 10. were females; 12 were adults and 7 were children. Of the number there were 4 still-bcyn chil dren, two white; and two colored, which should be deducted froiu the above, as also one brought 'here from elsewhere for interment1 and one brought here sick and in ex tremis. This makes a total of 23 in a population of 35,000, les thad one per cent, of the population; or, less than one death in 1,000. t This is a good -showing and evidences ,very plainly, to our mind, the coutipued benefits derived from the sanitary regulations adopted last Summer. Dr. ' Potter says to the Boafxl of Aldermen that we have cause to be thankful for the. escape frour the pestilence that last Summer devas tated other cities and thinks that the sanitary regulations" should be we may be prepared for anything which mav possibly menace the Atlantic Seaboard next Summer.

The estimated "seating capacity of the Opera House is nearly 1,300 on the three floors 492 in the par quette and orchestra, 400 in the dress circle and 400 in the gallerv. It is said that there were not many vacant seats last night. The gallery gods were out in force. Our esti. mate is therefore hardly excessive! Call for a SanitaTy Convention. We have received a copy of "A call for a 'North Carolina Sanitary Convention, in Raleigh, on Wednes day, February C, 1889.' which we take pleasure in publishing here' with, omitting the Long list of sig natures, for which we- cannot find room in this issue. It is as follows: The interests appertaining to the public health. are of such increasing importance that its demands can no longer go unheeded by tiie general public. The time lias come when men of- all professions who have given the subjects of public and private sanitation anv considera tion, should assemble to interchange views, and. begin in earnest the study of the living questions which concern healthy homes -and healthy towns. 1. Many towns in the State have reached a condition of 'progress which have brought them iace to face with the problems-of sewerage and water supply, involving vast sums of money and the tuture health ot unborn thousands. 2. Our State has numerous loca tions, the merits of which are at tracting the attention of physicians ana invalids in many States, North and West, and these must be studied by us with definite purpose and concerted effort that we may pre sent the public with authoritative statements as to the actual condi tion of our unoccupied sanitaria 3. The questions involved by the appearance now and then of pesti lential diseases in States so inti mately bound to us by railroad com munication that their cause is our cause in a philanthropicas well as a business sense, that."-we must study them and discuss them in order, to disarm these epidemics of their greatest dangers, and to quell the panics that do more harm, if possi ble, than the pestilence. 4. The interests of the public health of the State while ; of neces sity, at this stage of its develop ment, intrusted to the medical pro fession, must be dependent for its vitality upon the interest the gen eral public takes in it, for it is the cause of v the people. A Con vention, therefore, of the represent atives of the people, officials cognize ant of the defects of the sanitation of our houses and ..towns and insti tutions,, .and private citizens who have been studying with interest and practising with all the lights thejr have, the minutiae of health laws, is a potent way of disseminat ing information and of studying our defects and the ways to remedy them; .." For these and many .other consid erations, we the 'undersigned, deem it appropriate to call a Sanitary Convention, to meet in Raleigh on Wednesday, the 5th day ofljVbruary 1889, asking tliat a good . attendance luay be had of County Superintend ents of Health and other officials entrusted. -with the supervision of the public health, and of farmers, lawyers, doctors, ministers, civil and mining, engineers, Mayors of towns. Chairmen and members of the Board of County Commission ers, Superintendents of asylums for the insane and indigent, rofficers in charge of hospitals and peniten tiaries, school-teacher's, railroad of ficials, antr every citizen interested in the present and future health of our fcommunities and homes. After organization the following topics will be presented: "How cau we. best 'secure econo mical disposal of refuse in our towns?11, "The prospects of the future water supply in our large towns?11 'Some of the facts concerning the Sanitaria in our State?" - "What is being done towards pro viding healthful school houses in the smaller towns and the country?11 "How can we establish a Bureau of Vital Statistics, that we may put on record of our guidance and in formation the destinv of the nonnla- t ion as regards bfrt hs, diseases, j ' deaths, and the history of epidemics J ffVtha nnhii itonlth-n ! . vrVfc is neetiea to sustain ine ts crthe north Carolina tsoara f .T!i V' Tflnnht iUlw.

Onfrecipt of thisletter, she, much worried, wrote to a mar ried sister at Abbottsburg to know why it was that bet mother was un able to obtain meat, and begging that she be' supplied, when for ans- vyer she reseived ja letter stating that she herself had not tasted meat for ten days and that there .was not a pound of meat eiiher in Abbotts burg or Bladenborp. !
