The report of the Superintendent, Dr. William R Wood, of the North Carolina Insane Asylum is a good ono and makes a rather flattering show ing for the prtsent management. The farm and garden profits are larger than at auy time before since the establishment of the institution; the net proceeds from which were$3,666 00 About$200 in fees and allowances were donate by Drs. E. Burke Haywood and Hubert Haywood,tobe expended for charitable purposes. Additional appropriations to meet the growing wants of the institution and the increasing demand for its work are urged by both Mr. Richard H ' Smith, the President, and Dr. Wood. The reDort of Mr. W. R. Crawford is very creditable. Two of the foremost physicians in Michigan, Dr. Shurley and Dr. H Gibbs have discovered a cure for con sumption they say, the efficiency of which is beyond question. A Disastrous Conflagration. On the morning of the 28th Colum bia, Tenn., was visited at an early hour by the moBt disastrous confia gration that has been seen there for many years. About a dozen houses were destroy ed, whose . value was about $30,000, and stocks : of merchandise burned fforLu scar! as much more. A Pleasant Evening.

C, was called home by a telegram announciug the illness of a member of hi3 family. The banquet was a pleasant affair and enjoyed by the large crowd pres ent. The Sidewa'k Question. How about the sidewalk question Have the city fathers forgotten It? The mud through which most of our jieople have to trudge during the winter is jut intolerable and inex cusable. Almost any little country village can and does afford better sidewalks than are to be found in many parts of our city. For mercy's sake let something be done to relieve the people from the unpleasant ne cessity of wading through so much mud. If the city is too poor to pave the streets and the sidewalks, could not the fathers crush some rock and mix sand with if. and so grade the walks that the water will run off and keep them dry all the time. Rock and sand will be effected by frost less than soil, and mudi will largely disappear from the sidewalks. Certainly some thing should be done. It is bad enough to allow the streets where the teams go to be five or six inches deep in mud, but when it gets to be toler ated that way on the sidewalks, it is time that something vigorous 6hould bo done. it Metropolitan Hall. A j-Tgf- and appreciative audience grtfieii tne narry ljinaiey uompany last, night. In their production of that splendid nautical drama.

A PROPHET'S PREDICTION. Another Weather Crank Comes to the Front. New Orleans Delta. At the earnest solicitation of many of the ice dealers of Counecticut.Bee bee, the weather prophet, has Bent his decree of what the weather is to be this winter. Mr. Beebee says there will be an unusually hard winter. Ice will be abundant and the snow in New England will be deep, coming about Jan. 1 and lasting late in the spring, giving parts of Connecticut and Massachusets about ninety days of sleighing. There will be much more snow in both these States than for five years previous, and the entire New Eng land coast will see snow two feet deep before Feb. 1. The winter will be more severe on account of the high winds. The mercury will be belowzaro. Passengers from Europe will be en dangered as they approach these shores. The waves will run higher than they have in many decades. The sixty Sun Vaper Lights con tracted for by the city some time ago, will be lit up tomorrow night. Thanks for this much needed improvement.
