' The Board of Councilmen met in ipecial session at ten o'clock yesterday morning to consider a proposition from Mr. Geo. W. Moore, representing the firm of Moore & Brady, fruit and oyster packers of Baltimore, in regard to leas ing the property at Union Point for a term of ninety-nine years on which to erect a building for the purpose of canning oysters and vegetables. , ".s Mr. Moore stated to the Board that it would require an outlay of twenty-five or thirty thousand dollars to get the work under way, and that it would be sometime before they could reap any benefit therefrom. He thought the sup ply of oysters in our sounds inexhausti ble, and if properly cultivated in a few years the bottom would be one solid bed of. I oysters. He' thought the mode of catching them here very primitive one man with the machinery used in Chesa- peak Bay could catch as many as twenty men here. Mr. Moore produced a letter of introduction from the Trader's Na tional Bank of Baltimore which gave a statement of the extent of their business in that city. Mr. Moore further stated that in the event they could not get the oysters and vegetables in sufficient quantities and at such prices as would justify them in continuing the work, they would expect to use the property for other purposes. l . - ..-. At the conclusion of Mr. Moore's state' ment, on motion of , Councilman-Moore a committee consisting of three council men and the Mayor were appointed to confer with the City Counsel and draw up a plan of lease to be submitted to the Board. The Board adjourned subject to the call of the Mayor when the matter will be disposed of. ' ' New Berne Graded School. FIRST ORADE ROLL OF HONOR.

While there are no large fish eries oq the Neuse River or Pamlico Sound, as there "areou the Chowan and Albemarlei'vet thin is by far, Tim uirirpar nh mnrmr. in tlistota and is likely the largest south of Norfolk-indeed,' it has been so ong oouceued that ' Norfolk is the argest, that no one seems disposed to question the truth of the assump-tion--bnt it is in my mind a q'ne tion of: ; great doubt.: - As . stated above there are no very large fish eries from, which New Berne draws ler supply, iijiit there are innum erable smaller ones, and bv the rop-iiet made of taking them, a much greater area of. water is drawn , from , than- by the great seine-beach process. They have their annual, or, at , least, their semi-annual seasons, while our season is well . nigh peruetual. hey are confined to but two vari eties they take, except as to the season m wnicn eajn variety is iuore abundant. They have miles ol semes but their points ol opera tions ai-e stationary, while those of tne netting parties are here, there auu everywnere. The waters ot Neuse liiver, Pam- ico' sound, Uoro ; Sound, ; Davis Straits, Bogue Sound and a jium ber of creeks and bays are drawn lrom, and lately the Atlantic Ocean itselt has been levied npon by the enterprising dealers of New Berne. There are many miles of nets of all classes; a great number of boats of all builds and shapes; and over five hundred, men almost daily em ployed iu tne catching of fish for this market, whose efforts - are rewarded by the capture of one hundred varieties of the finny tribe The value in money ot the annual sales, by shipment is estimated at over two hundred thousand dollars besides a local sale for home con sumption of not less than twenty live thousand dollars more, making a total sale of nearly a quarter of a million dollars annually at this place. There is estimated to be six bun dred persons whose ; business catching and handling fish, repre senting a population in the town and country ot not less than fifteen hundred persons whose living obtained directly from the ancient calling of St. Peter. , The capital invested in boats, nets, and other necessary apparatus talis but little, it any below tweuty five thousand dollars. The supply is drawn lrom the waters named, but the demand comes from greater distance, onipinents are made to Norfolk and Baltimore north of us; and to various "points in Boutn Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee, Bout! and West ;; while the whole State of North Carolina along the various railway lines is our customer. As an article of lood fish furnishes many .mouths a sumptuous meal which would otherwise be left to the cravings of hunger, or, at least, only spared that suffering by the commonest lood to be obtained. 1 The scores around the wharves of the city in the seasons for taking fish with hook and line, exhibit a practical faith among the colored people that would bring a blush to the most eminent prelate, by com panson witn his own. Uld and infirm people ; young and gay ; lads and lasses; children just largi enough to understand the art mothers nursing their infants, al sitting for hours patiently watching the cord dancing merrily on the riffles, in hlisful hope of getting bite, even if only from a catfish or eel. How trustfully' they watch How persistently they readjust the bait and try again. How phi osop locally they conclude that the wind or tide, and even "luck" use. has temporarily conspired against tliein.5 And yet they hold on firm ly, believing that "there are as good fish in the water as were ever taken out. 5 And when patience receives its reward and an' active ..eel! is hooked, the merry laugh, the excit ed boys and delighted girls, would lunn.5h a splendid miniature ot "great haul'' at "Avoca." , . Jlow dare we to say that , the thankful hearts of these ' humble people might not ' causo another blush if compared with those who are much .more highly favored. All must admit that the occupation mrmshes abundant opportunity lor meditation and reflection: two great helps to self examination so earnest.

It was fishes twice used by Him to display His almighty power feeding the hungry multitude. It . was of fish that He partook with the dis pone disciples alter His resurection. tVnd they are still furnished daily by His direct providence, at the ittle expense of taking to a multi tude much greater than five or seven thousands. As a fish market then. New Borne stands well up in the front ranks of iiny town m the South, and some ol' :ier unest dwellings have been either built or bought, with the pro ceeds of an energetic devotion to eaiing in hsli.
