Whatever : suggested l-y this body of representative farmer-- is entitled to consideration by the General Assembly. In this mat ter, however, they have acted a little hasty and, we think, with out due consideration. Perhaps they were not aware of the fact that in some of the smaller counties special allowances have to be made now to some of the county i ftieer.-. leeause the fees are not sufficient to support them. It is an easy matter to say, "if any oft'ft-er is not satisfied with the pay let him get out, and some one el-e will be glad, to get in." That :s true.

The annual report of the Bureau oT Labor Statistics of the State of North Carolina, for the year 18S8, has been published and is now be fore us. This is the second annusl report, and it is evident that the Bureau has not fully attained the purpose of its creation. Indeed it conld not have done so in the time that has elapsed since Us organi zation. Mnch useful information has been gathered, and the report is fuller and more accurate than could have been reasonably ex pected. It gives abandant evi dence of industry and capacity on the part of the Commissioner, and affords valuable information to the people. One of the gieateat difficulties encoantered by the Commissioner arises from the neglect and unwil lingnesi, of iersons addressed, to give the information needed for the efficient and satisfactory work ings of the Hnreaa.

Besides all this, Senator Hansom resides in the right place. Other thiBgs leing equal, one of North Carolina's Senators ought to reside as a Trereutiiire Phthisis. A suggestive paper by Dr. C. E. Busey, of Lynchburg, was lately read before the Medical Society of Virginia. He stated as a well known fact that those nations which wore given to the cultivation of vocal music were strong, vigor ous races, with broad, expansive chests. If an hour was daily devo ted in our public schools to the development of vocal music, there would not be th sad spectacle of the drooping, vitbered, hollow chested, roumi-shoulderpd children. 1 I'liere was too a great tendency to sacn lice ph ical bealtli upon I he altar ol learning. Vocal music was a gymnastic exercise of the Jungs by development of the InDg tissue itself. The lungs in improved breeds of cattle, which naturally took little exercise and were domi. eded much of (be time, were oonsid erably reduced iu size when com pared with those of animals running at liberty; and so it was with the human race, which led Inactive lives from civilization. Phthisis generally began at the apices of the lungs, because these parts were more inactive, aud because the bronchial tubes were o arranged that they carried the inspired air with greater facility to the bases than to the apices. During inactivity a person would ordinarily brentue about 4iU cubic inches of air l'n'a minute! If he walked at the rate of six miles an hour, he would breathe 3,200 cubic inches. In singing, this increased more than in walking, as to sing well required all the capacity of the lungs. The instructor of vocal music, in addition to his musical education, should understand the anatomy aud physiology of the respiratory organs N. V. Medical Journal. Jones County Items. Quite a crowd at Trenton yester day (Monday). Merchants appeared to be doing a good trade and money was passing around lreely. Messrs. Hawkins & Ervin cap tured a few days ago in the Pot Neck swmp four coons in one hoi low that weighed, when dressed 40 pouDds. Our Fair oilers a good premium lor a live coon. Ed.j Recollect, farmers, the new year ts progressing. How is it with the farm ? Don't sit on the door block and wish for better times and lor something good to turn up in your favor, but roll up your sleeves, handle the shovel and the spade, seize the plow handles and guide it as you ought with vim, pnsh and energy and as sure as you live that something good will turn up. Just try it for 1839. Recollect the gods help those who help themselves. We want our people to take a lively interest in the New Berne Fair. Let every farmer look up something and carry it there. We have in our pocosins many wild hogs, real razor backs, long snout, porcupine bristlers. Conld not some of our farmers trap a pair of these and have them on exhibition at the Fair ? They would be a reai curiosity to many and at the same time would show the people the difference between tbe hogs that had been taken care of by the farmers and those that bad taken care of themselves. We are certain of one thing, they can distance as to speed any ol your Berkshires Polands or Jerseys. I'll wager a big haman that tbey can out run any negro or white hog thief in tbe penitentiary. Let someone trap one and send him in. me magistrates and commis sioners met on Monday to consult about devising some plan to pay ofl the old debt of the county, and at tbe same time make an effort to procare tbe cash to pay off the current county orders as soon issued. After a great deal of dis cussion the lollowing plan was adopted : First, to borrow in in stallments, of live hundred dollars each, two thousand dollars and pay ofl all orders as soon us issued Then petition the Legislature for a special tax of six thousand dollars. to be collected in three years, to pay on old debts. The above plan was adopted unanimously, and will we think, meet the approbation of every good man in our county. have loug been anxious for them to adopt this plan, or one similar to it. I knew that our people were determined,aud were really anxious to pay up aud get our good county out of debt, as they are all mortified to t,ee her paper bought up by merciless shylocks at a ruinous discount. We must say, if wo get this special tax of six thousand dollars, two thousand to be collec ted yearly, that it will not be bur densome to the tax payers, and at the same time levy the 60S cents as we have done heretofore, we win, oy paying cash aa we go, re duce our county expenses from $3,500 down to somewhere abont ?s,U0, which will enable us then to continue levying within the con stitutional limits, and not be as we have heretofore been, falling behind 500 every year. Stabling the "Old Hoss." An anecdote is told of the early days when court was first held in Pittsburg, Penn., in a log tavern. An adjoining log stable was used as a jail, tbe stalls answering as cells lor the prisoners. Judge T. was on the bench, and in tbe exer cise of bis judicial functions severe ly reprimanded two young lawyers who bad got into a personal dis pute. A herculean backwoodsman, attired in a red flannel shirt, stood among the auditors mtheapart- ment. He was much pleased at the udge's lecture having himself been practicing at "another bar" and hallooed out to bis worsLip, wno happened to Fouint ; ' Give it to 'em, pld gimlet eyes !" " ho is that demanded tbe judge. He of the tlaiinel &hiit, proud ol being thus noticed, etepped out from among the re6t, and drawing himself up to his lull height, vocif erated: "It's this here old boss!" The judge called out in a pe, cnliarl, dry, nasal tone: '-Sheriff, take that 'old hs.' pnt hiin in 'the stable,' and see that he is 'not stolen1 hi fore morning." It has beeu supposed that the old Egyptians were unacqnaiuttd with resin, buc a jar of tLat ib stance has been discovered s mid the miusol Naucratis which, ac cording to the testimony of expert Egyptologists who have examined it, dates from the six century B.
