Mr. Geo Eendersou, jr., has a veritable curiosity in an cxtraordinaiily marked common garden spidi r U i the back of the hinder half of the spider (the lar:;e rounded or oval pari) are markings which distinctly outline a human face, eyes, nose and mouth, even to little indentures at the proper places io resemble mstrils. Each feature is in regular and natural position. To get (he lst view of the tace the spider must be looked at with his head toward the spectator, as the month is about the middle of his back and the eyes and the upper part ol the face lartlur towards the rear. The shape of the body 19 not unlike a human head, and in color it is a dull white and thus makes the re semb'ancc still more striking. Mr. Henderson is keeping his pet iu a little box and supplying lam with insects and leaves to keep him alive as loug as possible. I'e takes pleasure in showing him to visitors.

I Vie presume from the first part of this Jiaragraph that our worthy friend ('esne- j us to realize the fact tint he has studie I 1 geography, as all geogiaphies, we ljelieve, have something in them leg-.rding the j roe bridges ol the Andes traveller. j The s-cond pet on is merely a bit i" ; attempted ironv, siuec he ass. its tnai in his belief a 920,000 b.-idge a ro- the Neuse would not hardly afford safe pas sage to a billy goat.

This portion of our opponent's j a'ticle is sub-divided into s i many puts, j thtt for want of space we will eon- j sider it in Mo, and not in dilail. 1 YVc agree with him in thinkirg it would j be a moral wrong to d. ceive and disap-1 point the per p'e of our county, by taxing j them for a urpose which would never b.- I of benefit to tl em, but we disagree with j him in thinking such would b.j tt 110 ol the j bridge building plan. As for -examining and muling that a gtvat to pay the r ptescnt merely answer, that if he S!u riffs books many are unable taxis, wc would tax, s w- re if iwu to a mere minim. on there Would be a great many who woulel .-till be un-ab'e io pay them. This s ate of i-fl'.irs is not true exclu sively of this county or this tune, but t'ue of all the civilize t woiUl I might say. and will last until ihe eiut of time ; at hast un til some new system of political economy supersedes the ptesent ureler of things. As tor his (Lures, wo wouM re-pcel-fully inform our wise frienel, that he is far off the mark when he isiimates the cost of the l.rielgcs at $80,00. The writer of this article, has enmmuni catetl wit a, and intervii lie I wi 11 known aicliitects unel I ridge builelers of our 1- ad ing citi-s, and a summaiy olTheir esti mates places the cost of the two bri igcs at the outside', not te exceed the afoic men tioned sum ol $10.1-00. We did not express o'.'.r own ideas a - t the cost, but gave instead the calculations of men who prol'e-s (and not without cause) to undetstand '.hat lina of business, but now our ' Vanci boro" S iloinon pops up and upon the strength of his own views places the estimate 100 per cent above the generally-agreed-upon amount, $40,000. In conclusion lot me s-ay that it is'a duly devolving upon the commissioners, from which there is no escape, to I mid these bridges. The age is too piogrcssne. the people too intelligent and agivs-ive to forever put up with make shifts and exorbitant demands upon their forces nl travel. " VanCcbor,,"" represents that class of citizens with whom all commiin. tics are unfortunately intlii teel, and while hi intentions may lie good a:. el his op nions hemest, yet lit in no measure voices the se ntiments of the c unty. Tru'li is, his ieleas seem io be Uisi u up ,n a narrow, selfish point O! view; because the bridges would ae commedate two-thiuls of the citi zens ol the county, and. in h s opinion, not i ccommodate himself and a minority of persons who never come to Xeiv Borne, he would se-i-rn the plan aial ic se'irt to sucf' tbrnsy arguments in order to ga-n Ins point as are ntf-.rdeel by liyp, .t'ue lical pn positions concerning g ,ais ami rope bralges -pshaw !

D.,Itili-igh,N. C. )kau Doctor:--Some weeks ago a le t ter was receive I from yem asking me for facts, or my ideas or experience iii n-gard to malaria in conmction with drir.king water. OL.Ii THKORIES Tei NOT HOLD. Iu the outset I will say: Feiiir years ago my faith in the old theory of breath ing malaria into the syste-m was terribly shaken ami subseepient experience has taught me that not through ihe atmos phere alone are germs tak n into the human ecem my, but through other chan nels do they enter our systems and do their deadly work. LOCATION OK TRKNTON. To fully appreciate! what I shall say in this connection it will I e necessary for me to give vou an ielea e.f ihe location of our village. Trenton is situated on the south bank of Trent Hiv r, w hich stream, in i s gene lal course, runs Ir m west to east. Just south of the., village is Crooked Run, which flows hit i t he river a half mile le- 1 iw llie town ami is para lei wiih tin river for a nu e above. On this 1st iter stream is situated a in ll far ciioug i down to throw the potj I, which is a large , covering over two hundr d a.-ivs of Ian , J directly south of us. So you see our vil lage 's surrounded on all sielcs with wa'er e.cept to the west, and at this point the panel and river approach within three iiumlreel yards of each other. good wateh. This peninsti'a or narrow neck ofland on which our village is locatiel is a ridge, and our water is as goad, if not iM-tler, than most of tho wafer in this eastern sec tion. When the river aud pom I are low the drainage of our town is almost perfect and nosuifaee water ever contaminaies our wells. All of our wells are from 18 to 30 feet deep, unel the water in them is Cool anil good with one exception. In miibunimer if a thermometer is placid in the water whet, first drawn it will drop to 60 degrees, and in some of the wul Is the water is cooler than this temperature. ONE EXCEPTION ANJI TUK KKSUI-T. I said w ith one exe eption all of our water was good. This exception is a wrell which is mi the public street at the foot of a hill leading to a bridge across tho river. The water in this well is cool, butsuifeoe water enters if, ispe-'ially during rainy spells. In this neighborhood persons us ing water fruin this well have chills more or le-is every year ami at all seasons of the year. With this exception the rest of the citizens of this village are exempt from malarittl troubles, unless during u )l'e longed rainy Season when the other wells are to a certain extent contaminated wilh surface water, or they contract malaria while hvtniiag or fidiing by drinking spring, branch en- river w-eleT. So much lor the situation ot our village and our water. FACTS AGAINST ISAD AIK THEORY. Now for the leory of breathing in ma larial poison and why my faith in said theory has ltc n almost destroyed. Four ye ars ago last March th'S mill which has been mentioneil was washed out, the water ran out of the jionil, having sti.gnant pools all over it, anil the stench from the oxposid mud anil decayed vegetal ion was awlul To make: matters worse the south win-Is (for the pond i. directly soinh ol us anil some of the people live right on the edge of the pond) brought this foul odor into our village', and some nighls nil n the winds wore from the south the siencli was hai'elly Lcarabli'. The p unl remained in tins condition all summer till tall, when the mill was replaced and the water again covered this foul mud anel decaying vegetable matter a hot-bed for malaiia, so to speak. Realizing the situation, I pri dieted that every b dy would lie sick, anil 1 thought I could prophesy with absolute e ertainty in this instance, but strange to say we h id no more chills than usua1; in lact, we were almost exempt from maJari d IroublcM. This set ine to thinkiug and g iver the theo ries laiel down in our lext-boeiks as to how the malarial poison is contracted a terrible shaking. liftst August all the water was nllowiil to run out of this pond in order lhat some repairs might be iiiaejc to tlieel.un. Again through the latter part of August anel the mouth of Septembi r we hail lhe same con ditions as ihscrilied above', only inlens' tied, for iu the former instance Ihe poml was emptied iar!y in the spring ami le a groat extent had elried liefore Ihe hot w.aihor hail seat in, but iu this case it. hap pened in lhe midst of the hotle st seison unel during the m inths we have the great est amount of malarial trembles. Our peo ple were indignant at tho owner ol this property for doing as he diel, but if it in creased sickness at all I was n- ver able to delect ii. The truth of the matter is we-ha-1 fewer case s of malaria than usual. This spring we have sutiei'eel Irom a preilougeel and severe drought, anil tlii-s same pouel is now almost elry with the exception of the pools of stagnant water and the main channel of the stream that supplies water to the pond, yet we have I ecn entirely free from sickness of a ma larial nature except in the locality ol the w ell referred to above anel these eases were early in the spring before drought set in, Since receiving your letter I have made it a point to fish in this pond during all hours of the day (anil the stench from the mud and decaying vegetation wa very offensive) to see if breathing in these nox ious vapors would produce malaria in my system. No trouble at all was cxverieucei from thus exposing myself. Otlnrrs who exposed themselves as much if not more than 1 did, and refrained from drinking the branch and spring water along the streams also escaped malaria; but in near ly every instance wheie they drank from the crook and springs along 'his crock that supplied thu pocet they had malaria iu some form. PRIME CAUSE OF TROUBLE I will give you one more striking in stance whore the water was the prime canse of malarial troubles. Two miles below this place on tho river is a large saw-mill. One of the hamls who acteu aa watounuut was required to be on the grounds all the time, and a house was built for his family uoar the mill. This family and Ihe liauds ofthe mill used wa ter from a spring that came from the earth in a low, marshy place. A curb was suuk in ihe- niiiil around this spring, which held about two Iwnvls of water all the time, and an ova rllow of the enrb was the only way for ihe water to ese-ape. As long as this water was used by this man's family anil the rest of the hands at the mill some of ihcm were down with malarial fever all ine time. I pointeel out the trouble to i hem and had them to use water from anoihe r spring which had no basin toit, but the water was taken :uto lhe vessels as it flowed out of tho hill. The result was the malarial troubles were greatly dinain ishi'd unel my visits to these )eople were cut down over half. In ciuiclusiou, 1 will say there is no eloubt in my mind that drinking water plays an impoitant part in causing mala rial troubles, and that if we can get in thh eastern section good, pure water, five li'e.m surlaere water, we will have little to leur from malaria. I an., very truly yours, - R. A. Whitakek, M. D. The above is a very convincing leUer of i hi' need to use none: but pure water, i bis can be obtained anywhere' in the ooiinliy by properly bored wells at mod era to cost an d here ki New Berne we are fortunate procuring such from deep.boreu wcl.s furnished by the water works company. ( IURI.IE BRAY'S MELONS. Raised them to WelfchOver o Pounds l.axt Year Expects to Heart- Ike Hundred Pound Mark tola Year. Mr. C'haa W. Bay, lhe chimpion melon grower, was up yesterday from Broad creek with his Ihird cargo of water mel ons ol four favorate varieties; the Giay Jordan, Dark Ice -Rinel and Peerless, and the Florida Favorite. They aveiaged well. We saw but one weighesd anel that was a perfectly ripe and delicious 39 pouuel "Peerless," and its fl ivor entitles il to its name. Mr. Bray's brag heavy weights, the iron-elads, will ripen a lit tic later. We hail erne at the Journal office of this variety raised by him last year that weighed 84J pounds. Mr. Bray thinks i f the season continues us favoiable on watermelons us it is now that he wi.l have them this year that will go up to about a hundred pounds. 4 hiearoani Taking an OntiaiC at Hloenmba Creek. It will be remembered by many of our leeiple that something more tnan a dozen veal's ago say about 1879 some Hid landers, either from Michigan, or direst from the old country, settled in this couu iy, about Mavelock. Among Ihein was one named William Buys, lie purchased a tract containing about nve hundred acres, on the east side ot the lailroael, some two miles from the station, but after a year or two, not being altogether satis- sed. and losiug uis wile, lie returned to Michigan, still retaining possession of the oroneitv.
