Oysters in our lower sounds grow with great rapidity. The common idea is that they attain full growth iu from three to lour years, but like vegetables, their growth depends very much on dace and circum stance. Where the conditions exactly suit thein they probably grow much faster and attain a larger size. On the 4th of July, 1SS1, there was a clam-bake at Nags Head iu Dare county and the projector of the festivity procured from Chancey Meekins. of Roanoke Island, a number ot rocks to use in the bake. After their use they were taken by Mr. Meekins and thrown out near his landing in Roanoke sound in duly. The season. by the moderate supply of rain water in the sound favored the growth of ovsters. Needing the rocks for use in November he took them up and found oysters on them ball as large as your hand. Now this growth must have been liom spawn and was the growth ot about ionr months. We mention this fact to show our people that they can reap the fruits of their labor ninch sooner thfn is generally supoed. There is no doubt that oyster shells or brush placed upon oyster tvottoms will fix the spa n that tlo in the water m the summer and ;Y;t the oysters will be ot a size to u-e moderately during the next winter. In our lower sound, nvei.- and creeks, attention ha iut been awakened to the impottance and profit of the oy.-ter nop. The law as it at present eiM- allows an en t r ot ten acre- t o -tci 1 . ot : o in . and 'I found nei e-.s.u the pi ivilee can le enldiged.

Charleston News and Courier. , A brief telegram was recently pub J lish... 1 in The Aetcs and Courier an l nouncing the fact that oysters were be , ing shipped from Savannah to Northern j markets to supply the deficit caused by ' ' the freezing of the beds during the ex treme cold weather in that region. The extent of the trade thus suddenly de- veloped at Savannah has not been stated, ; oa acconntof the scarcity of the supply at the Doints to which thev were sent. I the Savannah oysters were readily sold at double the usual priees. It now ap pears probable that the trade begun on account of the effects of cold weather w ill be continued for other reasons, and that the business of cultivating and shipping oysters may yet absume im portant proportions at varioui points along the South Atlantic seabotrd. It is well known that some of the largest oyster beds on the coast have been utterly destroyed by the improper nr j f .irmar I tr iaoi-l K tr t Vi la HaYinr- men to obtain their supplies, and that bv reducing t he transportation ser restnetive legislation has been found vice to the actual necessities of necessary in all the Atlantic States in : their departments. Thev nronose ord er main. to preserve the beds which re- Kvpn with Burn ppih flrinn. how- ever, the drain on the natural beds has " been so excessive that the supply, nearly everywhere, has been diminished more rapidly than it could be replenished by the operation of natural causes, ana inuusanas m persons nave iouna pront able employment in planting and culti vating beds in the waters within con venient reach of the principal Northern and Kastern cii.es. The demand, how ever, has steadily outgrown the supply , from all sources, and it has been an nounced in several quarters within the j past few weeks that an oyster famine is threatened. In Chesapeake Bay. which has been ! called the garden of the oyster, the sup ply has fallen off to a marked degree. The Hampton (Va.) Monitor says, that i scarcely any oysters are now left in the James and Rappahannock Rivers. The packers of Norfolk and Baltimore are behind in their orders on account of the small supply, and similar reports come from packers in other cities. banks which once existed on the coast of Maine have nearly or quite disap peared, and it is evident, without fur ther reference to particular localities, that while the market for the oyster is rapidly extending every year the sources from which they can be obtained are either extending very slowly in ca pacity and extent, or, aa in the instances j above cited, are diminishing in both i respects. In view of these facts, and of , rl,, i,,,TmlHT irv nf th nvsfpr PCPrvwhere - ' '"-t'cie or food, there can De no," ' , K1.

We shall endeavor at an early date to reprint in 77ie Xeus and i "ovriT the essential details furnished m these reports, but can only say now that the principal characteristic of the methods most recommended is their simplicity.

Il is not generally known, per haps, that oysters were cultivated in when SfU'.I.crn Europe at the time o.imnpii nni1 W prrn 1 anpum were living cities, and the Lake of Fusaro. where the industry was then mo6t successfully carried on. is to-day one of the most profitable centres of the same business. The plan generally pursued at the Lake if Fusaroand elsewhere, we believe, is to fill the shallow waters with a net work of willow twigs, interlaced or up rights placed at short intervals, upon wnich twig- the young oysters fix them ' lve- in countiess numbers, and of cours- remain until they are grown, when they are broken off and collected for sale. The number of oysters that can be cultivated in this way may be nueseed. since it cannot be computed, when it id stated that many thousands have been counted on a single piece of -ea-weed.

The Poquonnoc oysters. :n that State, nave long had the reputa tion of being most delicious bivalves, but the supply was limited because the greater part of the river bottom is cov ered with mud. which is fatal to oyster life. A shrewd Yaukee discovered that if trees were set thickly on the bottom, io mat the tops were just below the sur face ef the water, the ovster voung at- tached themselves to the branches aud '' thrived vigorously, out of reach of the 1 mud. Gideon F. Raymond, of New i. London, was ammig the first oyster ,, i ru-n farmers, lie planted many acres -'ioniei"-ed oyster forests, using ui.- i.ite birch trees.

He estimated that the largest brush would produce twenty-rive bushels each of bivalves m another year or two. Mr. Raymond is now planting bare birch poie- instead of brush, and is setting them as ihickiv as poles in a pea patch.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP. March 10, 1885. The new administration has not commenced with a revolution, but iD the twelve days of its power, a sufficient number of changes have been made and reforms inaugurated to furnish a key to its future. The new broom has been used in the White House, iu the Treasury Department, in the Interior, and in the Department ot .Justice. In the , littter of the White House four clerks were lound whose services were deemed superfluous and they were dispensed with. In the Treasury Department forty super numeraries were found and dis missed. In the other Departments meutioued the broom has as yet been confined to the stables. Sec retary Lamar and Attorney-General Garland have taken the initiative to walk ;lud hilV(J or(iL;rej a lot - . nt M O r - c -(irrio rrn o nnd w--t tmri o hitherto paid for by the Govern- ! ment lor private accommodation, chiefly for carrying the families of officials to balls, receptions, and balls, receptions, and amusements, rather than for public ; effective.

The; acting Commissioner says employes j must work dav and night, eat their lunch in thirty minutes time and; read no newspapers during office ' hours until they catch up with the work, which in the pu'-Mit office is several year.-, in arrears. On ac- i count ot the dilatoriuess of the paterJt examiners, applicants for have often to wai ten; before their cases can be ' P&tentS mouius attended to. ; The office seekers are growiug decidedly impatient and cannot ap-1 predate the fact that it is impracti-1 cable to torn out ah the present force ol government employes in one day, and run the government with raw recruits the next day.1 Among the most active and persist eut spoilsmen are the men who were beaten tit the polls in Novem ber last. The ex Representatives all expect something, and they forma very noisy and aggressive part of the throng of office seekers. President Cleveland listens much ol his time to the talk of callers. Many of them visit him to pay their respects, while others, disregarding 'j the publicity given to his dctermi nation to give no hearing to place hunters, have persisted in pressing demands lor office. lion. James G. Ulaine and Presi dent Cleveland met for the tirst rime last Fiiday evening, when the former walked over from Ins resi-: deuce to the White i louse. The visit was brief and necessarily em barrassing to both victor and van- pi i shed, bur the popular comment ' W; that if was a graceful acton the part of Mr. Blaine. tSeeretaiy llayard is experiencing consideiable difficulty in rilling the place of the Assistant Secretary of State. He thinks the office should be filled by a man of the highest reputation, one eipial to any of the Cabinet officeis, and it is said he would like for ex-Senator Tendleton to accept the position. Mr. Pen dleton, however, does not regard the place so highly, and his friends say freely that he would not have it under any circumstances. They want him to be Minister Lowell's successor, and are working hard to that end. He has also been recom mended for the Paris mission, but the majority of the Democratic Senators urge his appointment to the Court of Sr. James, and it is now believed that the Civil Service reformer from Ohio will go there.

There are three capital cases to be tried in the Superior court this week, and knowing the fate of Irving Lang, the parties accused are filled with fear. We hear some loud praying in the jail at leaft. The boys had quite a jolly time after a buck-eye rabbit that got lost and got into town. He came down main street with 200 boys of various colore and 75 "yallar" dogs pretty close in his wake. In his confusion he took refuge in Mr. Lang's dry goods store, and after muti lating about 40 yards of lace and other goods, was captured and killed.

Our new treasurer happened to a small mishap last night. He came to Stonewall to church, and with him he brought one of Bayboro's young ladies. Having perfect confidence in his horse he did not loose her from the buggy, neither did he hitch her, and when services were over no horse or buggy could be found. So they had to take a private conveyance back. i. e.. on foot, and the treasurer returned to Stonewall to see about his horse, and up to this writing I have not learned whether it has been found or not. C. M. Babbitt received the appoint ment of clerk declined by Mr. F. P. Gatlin. Mr. Babbitt declined also, and the appointment was tendered to Festus Miller, a brother of the deceased offi cial, who accepted and has given bond and is ready to take the oath of office on the meeting of the board of commis sioners. The appointment of Fes. will, without doubt, give perfect satisfaction. He is not only competent, but is one of the old tried and true Confederate sol diers, who did his full duty in the days that tried men, and many were found wanting, but not so with him. He is as true a Democrat as dwells in Pamlico, and I know as good as ever lived within her borders. If Judge Shepherd in all his official acts does as well as he has done in filling the clerk's plase in our county, he will retire from office with out spot or blemish. A Ghost Exposed. Four leadinq smritnal mediums have been detected in fraud during the past ; week. The account of one as sent by j telegraph is graphic enough: "Mrs. ! Nannie Miller, a medium well known I in tNew- York. Chicago and Denver, has i been giving some wonderful seances here for the last month. Prof. John- j son. of Washington University, and i Prof. Madden, of Johnson's Commercial i College, were skeptical of Mrs. MUler'8 ; powers, and to test her went to a seance this afternoon with a number of well known people. They had formulated a scheme, and when the lights were turned down the audience under in structions, began singing the "Sweet By-and-By." Suddenly, out from the cabinet came a young man with a pale face and ghostly appearance. He beck oned to Prof. Madden, and said that he was a brother who died a number cf yeirs aeo. The Prof, immediately "grabbed the ghost," and Prof. John son struck a light and rushed for the cabinet. Meanwhile the ghost set up a terrible screeching, and her husband rushed in and was promptly knocked down and sat upon. The lights were turned up, and the ghost was found to be Mrs. Miller in a man's clothes. The skeptics then ransacked the cabinet and brought out two armsful of costumes. "O! this is too bad. "screamed the ghost, struggling in the arms of the Professor. The whola room was by this time in an uproar, and the skeptics sent for tw-o policemen, who placed the medium and her husband under arrest. The para phernalia was confiscated and taken to "police headquarters." where warrants charging Nannie Miller and her hus band. Thomas Miller, with fraud, were sworn out. "It only needs skill and courage to detect any test-medium. The jugglers are smart enough, however, to confound most intellectual people." .Vcic York Christian Arh-ocatc, March Vith. iss.j. A 3Iean Tkick. Torn Bently had been paying his addresses for' some time past to one of the belles! of Sau Antonio. She bad not given hiui the slightest encouragement, and he was about to commit suicide, when she threw him into a spasm of delight by asking him if he would do her th favor of giving her his photograph. He happened to h.ive one with him. and he begged her to accept it, saying that it was the happiest moment of his life, etc. As soon as he was gone, the young lady called her servant, and giving her the photograph, said: Whenever anybody who looks like that comes, tell him I'm not at home." Ni .''tin n. M.'ii:iMeN!.i. It km. A gentle man who had made the acquaint- ance ol a di ii miner on 1 lie ti ain. on leaching St. Lmiis asked him: Where is there a eheaji butie lion't -oeciable Imaiding house in this town .'" The chcajiest and most respec table boaiding house I know of is 1 with mv future wife. I always stop with her folks." "So your intended lives heiv, does she?" Of course, I've got on3 in every I city in the United fcjtatas 01 any promiaenc, i " The Bnow Storm of 18ST The following account of the snow storm of 1807 has been kindly furnUhed us by Mrs. Sophie C. Stevenson, who wrote the jottings for the Nw Berne Express at the time. It is Sseless to say it was in her younger days And doubtless enjoyed tho amusements ot the occasion to the fullest measure: On Saturday eyeninjr, January 17th, snow commenced railing, the wind blew, shrieked and whistled; now turn ing the snow flakes Into Utile balls of ice; now throwing them against the panes in our windows; now 'hurling them high in the air; now twisting no w turning; now blowing again with increasing fury, giving us every prom ise of a regular snow storm. Great fun in general, and a sleigh ride in particu lar. Here we are, "all aboard," Mond7 morning. Elements still warring with one another ground covered with snow; six inches on a level three feet in the drifts. "Where-a-way, boysl" Out with your "Cutters," and give the girls a ride. Such a rumaging 1 Oar ret, stable and cellar, plank, hammer and nails, in more demand than T-iron; and of much greater importance, at the present time. What's a railroad now T Out with your teams I "Blake nay while the sun shines I" - An old adage, not very appropriate at the present time. Here they come I Buggy on runners two small ponies bells a ringing, all a jingling. Here they are, sure enough and now, here they come, every shape, every size. Oh 1 what a joyous time for old New Berne I Oh I what an awful time for horse-flesh 1 Two wooden runners and a dry goods box, with a piece of carpet, makes a good sleigh "Tumble in," oh I what fun I There comes a four horse team, with as merry a set as you'd wish to seel Hurrah 1 here's a whole boat load waving flags, and cheering "old Boreoas." Here's a small turnout one simple boy, and a poor little worn out pony. Here's a party drawn by mules, and here's a fine .black steed, proudly prancing over the snow. All kind of sleighs, all kind of bells, from the dinner to the common sheep, from the cow, down to the real sleigh bell, all must play their part. All kind of "turn-outs;" from the handsome greys to the dark red bays; from the noble horse to the poor little mule, that scarce can draw his heavy load. No matter, "hit him again," he must trot now, or never. If it's his last breath, he must give it up in this glori- ( ous cause. Tuesday 'morning snow not melt ed early breakfast. Hark I hear that distant bell the fore runner of what's coming. Now for a regular, sleigh ride, on as good a road of smooth snow as heart could wish for. Bring out your "two-fortes" Tandom, double and single harness. Girls, get your bonnets and furs. Ala s, wrap your babies up. Come one, come all; come young, come old everybody: must take your ride and we (fully be lieve everybody has taken a ride. Down . Pollock, up Craven, down Middle, , through Front streets all over the side walks all over the Academy Green, around that ancient Temple of Learn ing. All over all up all down on they go, and now look out! some mis chievous boys have conceived the idea that you can 't get enough of the j snow; so here s a ball in your dsce, one on your bat; slap in your face. No use to get angry; it's fun for the boys. You've been snowed over and they have determined that you shall be "snowed under;" so here's aparty obliged to halt. Stop horse and all, and just sit and take it. until the storm has subsided, and the b'hoys have come to their senses. Never has there been such universal frolic known in "old Athens." Gentlemen of staid habits, seated on wooden boxes, by the side of wife or children, Bmiling benignantly. Old ! men and young, maidens laaies oi a j doubtful age, and of an age no longer to j be doubted ministers, lawyers, pulpit ! and bench, merchant and mechanic i all grades, sexes, and colors, have joined I in the universal jubilee. A few of our : most enterprising fellow-tc wnsmen j added zest to the occasion by walking ; across Neuse river, a distance of about a mile. In some places their route was quite circuitous, and they weie obliged to thread their way, with considerable I care. They carried poles in their hands, ! with hooks attached to them, in case of ! an emergency. ! The worst feature in the case has been the total cessations of the mails; doubt- less very perplexing to our business men. Awfully boring to those who are shut up in town and cannot get out to go home. Agonizing to husbands wno are away and cannot return; trying to sweethearts, who cannot hear from their intendeds; death to intendeds that cannot hear from their sweethearts. If this state of things continues long some- thing desperate will be done Oh 1 for a thaw, to help us out the scrape And put us in a melting mood. S. C. S. New Berne. Jan. 22d, 1857. Signs of the Times. Chicago, March 16. The Riht Rev. Bishop Samuel Fallow, of this city, preached in the St. Paul Reformed Epis copal Church here last night upon the 'Signs of the Times. " Hesaiditwasa remarkable fact that the great mass of intelligent, far-seeing business men, politicians, and worldly-wise people generally could not or would not read the signs of the times in their bearing upon that far more important matter the second coming of Christ. A great many of the important events which hi.ve happened in modern times were foretold, the speaker thought, centuries ago. He believed the events of to-day were as pregnant of indications as those of 1.800 years ago. The present condi tion of Egypt was, to the preacher, a sign and an evidence of the coming ful fillment of the prophecy that Egypt would be ruled by the Jews. He con sidered the domination of England equivalent to that, as it would be a con trol in the interests of the Jewish bond holders. Earthquakes, pestilence, and famines were prophesied as signs to be seen before the advent of Christ. The earthquakes in Italy, the approaching cholera pestilence, and the famines which have prevailed in Asia were the signs to meet these prophecies. It had 1 been prophesied that iniquity would abound, and the Bishop thought the full measure of this prophecy had been ful filled. Tlir" rresidenl's Nominations.
