Under the most carelul ai ranre ment and management some in a nunal matter is unavoidably car l ried off by rams from the bam ! yard. Though animals be kept in stalls there is always some waste i about the lot, some droppings, some wateage in cleaning out the stalls, some scattered provender is generally present, in short, a barn iyard is never a very clearr place, land here want of eleanliness means I manure. Where animals are con Sued in open lots the loss of mauure matter is obviously much greater. aud still the problem how to save it becomes verv important. If the lot is sloping tbe manure ladcu ntter runs down hill, finding it,' way into some gulley or hollow and thence into streams, ami it is lost, but is tLere a neces-ity ; cannot the water be checked and made to deposite its treasures on its way ! The most obvious arrangement to bring this to pass, is to have a grass or grain patch immediately below the lot and have the water tlow over it. This arrangement is often seen, but is generally defective in two important points : the water is allowed to choose its own path, aud 1 usually concentrated on a very limited portion of the patch ; the other, no contrivances are present to check the velocity of the water and allow the soil to get its valuable coutents. The tirst may be obviated by building a low dam at bottom of lot, the top of the dam to be level so the water will not run over at one place, but along its whole leDgth in a thin continuous sheet, or else openings made in the dam. aud the water discharged 8rst at one ioint and then another By such contrivances every portion of the pau-h would get so:ne of the fertilizing water. But one point would still remain unguarded; tbeie is nothing to check the velocity of the waterand it might run over the land so rap'.uly as to leave little of is ma nunal elements behind. This may be met -by terracing the lot. In such case U would be well to coin plete the terracing at once, using a hillside plow, ruu often enough to bring the surlace of each strip to a level. This done, the water from above woald tarry long upon the land. A goodly portion would be absorlx-d and all solid matter would t3 deposited. Comparatively little would escape if the sloe hail any length. We commend this plan to the reader. It is simple and inex pensive. It will supply a large snrouut ol forage or of graziug at tne most convenient point. It will not detract anything from the com post heap, for all which would thus te saved, is now practically lost, it is a leakage only that we propose to stop; nothing more. But suppo-e the baruyard is so located that a grass or gram patch cannot be had below it. In that event the drainings from the yard can be conveyed in a ditch to some u)iut at a distance aud disposed of in the same manner on a lot located there. The water from a ditch, discharged a little distance above a horizontal dam will spread out and - flow over the latter in a broad con tinuous sheet down to lot below. In this case a second ditch, just above that from the yard, must be provided, to prevent raiu water other than that from the yard get ting into the yard ditch, and the grass lot likewise must be protect ed from water Mowing down the slop" above it. A little planning mill meet the requirements of each individual case. Rich grazing or soiling lot are of ;nestimable value on the farm, especially in the early spring, when animals crave green lood. The above is a cheap, simple plan providing them. But one is not limited to such lots as described above. It is well to have those kinds, and those who do not would do well to plan and arrange for them at once. In their absence, however, select a nice, clean, rich piece of land, at most convenient dace on the faim. and sow it down at once in rye. Don't say it ia too late. You can make np for that by manuiing, just as you can push np a pig by high feed ing, and make him weigh L'OO pounds when ten months old, so - .-IIIIBIH1I..L 1 l ,J-r!, , ,? i-tjR-.lfe. p.

Chil dren, with all their natural im patience of restraint, soon come to relish and approve the discipline of a gentle and resolute teacher, lively thoughtful parent will assent cordially to the recent remark of Bishop Huntington, that "the whole apparatus of education, from top to bottom, fails unless it chastens and molds the mind to orderly met hods.'

We are g ad there fore to give particj la. s both and consequence, of such r to cause : e as to reassure hisfiiends. Dr. J. A. W.-tson. of tii's c: ae summoned by telegraph from Black Mountain Station on the afternoon of the accident, leaving here about 7 p rr... and owing to tne unfamiliarity of his guide, spending the nigbt on ti e load, reaching Gombroom about daylight on Sunday morning. Tie dist-r.ee trav eled was about : m:'es. i a the dark and partly over a rough ueViborfcoou. mountain ri ad . He found the Senator su.'Te- in from a cut on the top of his head, abojt three inches in length and reach. n to the bone. Some small arteries had been cut and there was cocslderab'e effusion of b.ood. There was no ot -er -'o jury to his pe-son. and after the wound was dressed the patient was kept in a com fortable condition with little apprehen sion of subsequent unfavorable symp toms. As to the cause of the acclJcL. Sen ator Vance was riding in it wagon drawn by two horres alona: the narrow road leading to his residence on tbe north bank of the Swannauoa i ver. a colored driver holding the rt ir.s At a point of the road where the sil.ng was verv steep, a cart drawn by an ox was met in the road, and Senator Vance abruptly and imprudently turned out to give way to the other vehicle. The inclination wns so great that the Sen ator fell over breikiug ti rougn thtf side of his wagon. men tailing heavily to the ground, i.is head striking first and inflicting the wound spoken of. Dr. Watson left Senator Vance in a comfortable condition, and there is no present reason to prejudice a very speedy recovery. Mrs. Vance is in Washington City. Ashevilla Citizen. . Why - he County Commissioners Shop' Sell the Conn y Slock in the Atomic k y. C. R. R. Edi;or Joukna:- Why the county commissione! s should hesitate for a moment to adopt Commissioner Brin son's resolution, or a similar one with me same object, to sell the county stock in the A. & N. C. R. R. and apply the proceeds of said sale to the erection of a free bridge across the Neuse river, cannot be conceived. Has the stock in said road paid the county any dividends'.-' No! Is there any prospect in 1 th? near or remote future of its doing soV We think not. Then what reason able objection can the commissioners or the taxpayers of the county have for refusing to sell, especially when the present prospects bid fair to get a gxd price considering the condition of the road, ine Journal has given many good reasons why a bridge over the Iseuso should be built and has shown conclusively the many benefits that would be derived bv the increase of I facilities for reaching New Berne from the north side of the Neuse. Beside all of these, Mr. Editor, I think justice and fairness towards a large portion of our citizens should prompt our authorities to move in this matter. The taxpaying residents of the north Bide of Neuse river are entitled to some consideration from the county. They have been taxed to build bridge after bridge for the con venience of the citizens living on the south side of Trent river, not a single objection have they ever raised against this tax. Besides having to pay their pvopo:tion of this tax they are com pelled to pay an additional tax ;. fer riage when compelled to attend court or yisit New Berne. Is this light or just'.- At one time a much larger pro portion of our citizens lived on the north side of Neuse river than lived on the south side of Trent. Since the es tablishment of Pamlico county the pop ulation is about equal, but the valuation of property and the amount of taxes paid the county is still largely in favor of the north side of the Neuse. The total valuation of property listed for taxes in Nos. 1 and 2 townships is 82s6.507, while Nos. 5. 6 and 7 town ships south of Trent river is only 8235, 022, including 53t town lots in James City. You will see from this that those living north of the Neuse have always ! and do now pay the moet taxes. We : think that no portion of our taxpaying citizens will object to this movement. It will not necessitate any increase in taxes. Justice and fairness towards mat portion or our county inai nas al ways done its part in paving and assist ing and providing conveniences for the rest of the county demands this from us. We should do all in our power to secure this for them. The comparisons made of taxes and valuation with other portions of our county is not d ine to disparage them. We beli- ye they have only what they are entitled to, and other portions of the county should have the same. Craven Stonewall Items. Schooner Lizzie B.

Tho storm which prevailed last even ing did not deter a large congregation from gathering in the Disciples Church to participate in the public reotion tendered by the clergy of the city to the Rev.

Dr. Foy replied to Dr. Tudor's address in a happy strain that Berved to heighten the place he has already won in the hearts of many of our people.

Borden Mace and others of Carteret county against the com miseioners and sheriff of sail county, asking for an injunction to restrain the collection of taxes levied in excess of the constitutional limitation, Jwhich was heard beforejudge Phillips atLenoir Superior Court on Wednesday is one of much importance as it involves the constitutionality of section 84 of the revenue act of 1887 which changes the remedy for excessive taxation. This section stys: "No injunction eha'l be granted by any court or judge in this State to re i Btra'n the collection of any tax or any i mrt tv,nrar,f Viomnftpr IbvIpH nnim. strain the sale of any property for the non payment of any such tax, except such tax or the part thereof enjoined be evied or assessed for an illegal or un ajthoiized purpose, nor shall any per ,8oa be permitted to recover by claim and delivery or other process any prop erty taken or distrained by the sheriff or any tax collector for the non-payment of any tax. except such tax be levied or assessed for an illegal or un authorized purpose; but in every case the person or persons claiming any tax o any part thereof to be for any reason invalid, or that the valuation of his, property is excessive or unequal, who j shad pay the same to the tax collector i or other proper authority in all respects as though the same was legal and valid, such person may at aDy time within thirty days after such payment demand the same in writing from the treasurer of the State or of the county, city or town for the benefit or under the au- ; thority, or by the requast of which the i same was levied; and if the same shall not be refunded within ninety dayB j thereafter, may Bue such county, city or . town for the amount so demanded, in cluding in his suit against the county i bolh State and county tax : and if upon the trial it shall be determined that such tax or any part thereof was levied or assessed for an il'egal as unauthor ised purpose, or was for any reason in valid or excessive, judgment shall be rendered therefor with interest, and the same shall be collected as in other cases, and the amount of State tax over paid or declared invalid certified by the clerk and refunded by the State 1 treasurer ' The commijtioners and justices of the county of Carteret, find:ng they would j not be able to pay the current necef- sa y expenses with the constitutional! 1 m.iatictj, levied a tax of thirty-three j and a thii d cents on the hundred dol lars va'uation in excess of said limit. A restraining order was granted by Judge Phillips at the Carte; et term of the Superior Court against tne collec tion of this excess and the time set for hearing as stated above. Hon. C. R. Thomas appeared for the plaintiffs, and Clement Manly, Esq.. for the county commissioners and fci-erili. Juage lhornas presented the , case in a very able speech for the plain- j tiffs, taking the ground that any tax that exceeded the limitation of the con stitution, no matter for what purpose, , was iiiegal aDd unauthorized: that the j ro rttCir tt nrrtvidofi in t Vi , nfl rt 1 tS7 WAR I inadequate, aad, if literally construed, i the act was unconstitutional. i Mr. Manly in reply denied I j affi-1 j davits that the tax levy was for an il- : legal or unauthorized purpose. He 1 ! presemed tne case in aBlrict'.y legal ar- , gument, citing numerous authorities to j show that the remedy for excessive tax ation was of statutory jurisdiction; that the General Assembly has the power to I regulate it, and that the act of 1887 gave I adequate remedy. The court held that tbe commissioners were entitled to the levy, and that the remedy was sufficient. The restraining order was dissolved. Counsel gave notice of appeal. lile Torpoise Catcii. The porpoise indust.y as practised on our immediate coast has grown and is increasing to proportions of consider able extent. The annual p.oduct may now he counted by the thousands of barre's of oil and boxes of hides, possessing a morey value that would be no incon bie.abie factor when (stimating the moaev c ops of hia section.

Our Onslow correspondent takes the proper view of the railroad question. The reclaiming of the fine plantations , that have grown up in briers and bushes in that county would soon increase the value of the property five times the ' subscription asked for. And it would do the same in Craven county. A very successful business man of this city says it would be a very poor business man that could not increase his busi ness enough by the construction of a road from New Berne to Wilmington to pay his additional taxes levied ou ac count of the same.
