Yesterday was a , lovely day and the truck farms near the city were beauti ful to behold. fc ' The proof reader made- nonsense of the article "Ignorance in the Republic" on our editorial page. The steamer Qoldsboro of the Clyde line sailed yesterday with a full cargo of cotton, naval stores, rice, etc. ! ' ThM. E. Church Working Society . will meet to-night at the residence of .

Tha steamer Shenandoah carried out a heavy cargo of cotton, clams, rice, eto yesterday evening.1' She also had a good inward freight. ' ', - Our steamer wharves and the Mid land warehouse are crewded with gn anosand fertilizers. The farmers are going to' try again. ; ; If the Railroad Commission bill is de feated at the present session bf the Gen eral 'Assembly,, we predict that the scramble for position on, it will do it. Lieut. Gooding, of the revenue cutter Stevens, had quite a "serious runaway yesterday morning. llis home took fright on Craven street, while driving out, and dashed through Patterson's alley smashing the buggy to pieces and , frightening Mr, Henry Lovick almost to death. ' Mr. Gooding was slightly hurt'. Our, river steamers bring on nearly every trip' large lots of empty floor bar rels for the truckers. Can't some one , invent a cheap shipping package 'that will answer as well as a barrel ! If the trucking business continues to increase m this community, and we see no reas on why it should not, there will not be flout barrels enough to take it off. By the steamer from Baltimore y ester- day Capt. Gregory received six oyster I dredges which will be put at work im-1 mediately. We learu that Mr. Z. Paris also commenced dredging a few days past. These dredges can be made by any of our blacksmiths. There were more oysters in New Berne yesterday 1 than was ever known- at any one time before. , There were a : fleet of "over twenty vessels at one time unloading and waiting for their turn to unload, and not less than 350 to 800 hands en gaged in shelling them. A big industry is about being developed. .7; Faivef. .. ; ;;,. ..We learn from a- reliable source that a petition.' has ' been circulated in the town of Beaufort and signed! by every business man in the town but four, and two of these were out of town, asking the Legislature to allow; the- pound nets to be used at uape Lookout, yvenaraiy think the Legislature will be silly enough to prevent any one fishing in the ocean with a pound, Dutch or any other sort of net.'. - , , Roaa Law.' We have received from Senator Caho a printed copy of Senator Alexander's bill entitled "An act relating to roads and highways. " It contains many good features which we will notice in our next Lsu'e. The great 'trouble is 'in executing a road law; and it is undoubt edly because they are not framed in ac cordance with juBtice and are therefore unpopular with the masses. This bill, upon the whole, is less objectionable than any previous law, as it more evenly distributes the, burden of keeping up public roads. . .

The Oyster Law, As there has been- some important changes made in the Oyster Law by the Legislature, and as it is important to our people that the premises of the law should be known, I hereby give' you a synopsis as the law now stands. ; Any citizen of the State of North Carolina may stake off 10 acres or less of oyster ground (provided it is not natural oyster rocks); he then applies to the Clerk of the Superior Court (it is not necessary to be done at term time) and get a license to plant oysters in the grounds designated in his application. The Clerk of the Court will grant the lincense and the law makes it a penal onenBe ro W one wno "efipasses, T'Vi Ck 1 a or in ufTQii1 AvaAerirrt for oysters in water over eight feet deep has been repealed as to any citizen of the State of North Carolina; as it now stands any one is as safe in planting oysters as he is in planting corn or cot ton as far as trespassing is concerned. It requires about 2,000 bushels of oys ters to the acre and it is thought that an acre in oysters will pay as well as 10 acres will in cotton or &rn, In regard to dredging, the law hereto fore has. forbidden ' any . dredgeing being done; the law now allows it in water over, eight feet deep. There are doubtless millions of bushels of oysters in the deep waters of our sounds and rivers; the Water being too' deep to catch them with the ordinary tongs the oysters lie there doing no good to any one. There is nothing more prolific than the oyster. Scientific men tell us that the spawn from each oyster is capable of producing one million. They also tell us that the more the oyster beds are worked over the greater will be the yield; they niust.be cultivated if want them in perfection. Last year in the State of Maryland over thirteen million of bushels of ova ters were taken. North Carolina has more oyster ground than Maryland and doubtless one hundred thousand bushels will cover what was taken in North Carolina. In the city of Baltimore over 30 large firms, employing a vast amount of capital and giving employment to over ten thousand people, are employed in the various operations of canning and preparing oysters. These oysters, are sent from Baltimore to every nook and corner of the land from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean and still the cry is there is "not enough. " Our people have now an opportunity of developing this business which can be increased to an almost unlimited extent although the law has only been passed a few days, yet already many are ar ranging to go into the business. ' William H. Oliver. : 1 Swansboro Items. The sick ones in our community havo improved but that don't keep us from wanting a doctor among us. Not much is being done in the farm ing line yet but all are getting ready in earnest, as tne weatner improves We had the bears, and the Turks? so called, among us lately ;they performed at Marine s store last week and though sucn wings are no strangers in larg cities, tney created a great deal of ex citement with us in this county. FarnelKSr., has not recovered his fine mare stolen a short while ago but has heard some news which leads him to be lieve she is in Carteret county. He has killed nine fat shoats a year old this week, that weighed 1650 1 lbs. and has eight more to kill sodn that will pull down the scales about the same weight. Dr. E. N. Ennett has a pair of fine tur keys which cost $7.00 per pair. Think I heard some one say they were import' ed bronze breed. The Doctor is good on pouitry, so is Mrs. A. F. Farnell, Sr. She has collected and sold from her stock of hensSO dozen eggs since last November, and has on hand now some thing near 40 dozen, She has also a good stock of poultry. Some stealing going on all the time; yesterday Mr, Edward Shepard missed a hog. and suspicioned a negro man named Lewis Simmons; he got a search warrant from iisq. Abmtfort and found a part of his hogship in a barrel in said Simmons' house, but Simmons smelted amice just before the warrant arrived, and had business off somewhere, so the owner of pork did not get a chat with him. A day or so before Mr. A. F. Far nell, Jr., lost a fine Poland China hog. He expects Mr, Lewis knew something about that also, as Farnell apd, Shepard live In the same neighborhood. One of our young widowers, Mr. F. P.; took a notion to go to Texas; he told all of his folks good bye, got them all to crying, he crying himself a regular boo- hoo style, mounted bis horse and trav eled: this was on Tuesday andonThurs dar following, he arrived at night back to nis Home where he started Irom, hav- 1 . ?7:rr. "Ztrn: - Says the countrv didn't suit him out there. 1 think he rot as far as cross roads in Jones county, from what he said after his return.. Another young gentleman, Mr. E. Fonville, went to Georgia, but he staid nearly a month be fore he came back, and did really go to Georgia, so he says, to see his relatives, and recon he did. 1 expect if any one was to talk like traveling to the young men now they would have to fight. No place like home, sweet home, say we. Editor Nsw Berne JouNAL:--Busi- ness calling us to Aurora, Vandemere and Stonewall, we left New Berne on Friday at 10:15 a. m. on the Bteamer Elm City, being the first time we were afforded the pleasure of a trip on this very excellent boat. 'The passenger list numbered sixteen, four first and twelve second class. Being "commercial tour ists'' with an eye to economy?) we were enrolled with the latter class. While standing on the deck meditating on present things and future prospects we were recalled to our situation by hearing the captain giving orders to cast off." As the vessel was freed from her moorings and steamed down the Neuse at the rate of ten miles an hour, New Berne grew beautifully less while thinking of the girl we left behind us: our feelings can better be immagined than described, but our avocation would not let us long dwell on such matteis with a sigh we turned away and "croped the bridge." We were agreeably surprised on entering the saloon, to find the wife and daughter of one of New Berne's most successful business men. We found them very greeable companions and regretted exceedingly to part company with them at Aurora, where we arrived at 7:oU p, m. we found Aurora a thriving little illage, and was very much gratified with the business-like anDearance of the place. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. J. B. Bonner, Agent of the line, also Mr. Bryan, of J. 13. Bryan & Son, and Mr. Watson, of Watson Bros., all large merchants and clever gentlemen. We leit Aurora at 9 a. m. Saturday for Vandemere, arriving at Si o'clock where we only remained a snort time, having had while there a pleasent conversation with Dr. Abbott, Agent of the line, a very intelligent and high toned gentle man, and his efficient clerk, Mr. Bas night. The Doctor's residence is worthy of especial notice; it is of modern archi tecture, and would do credit to any city in the state. . - At 4i p. m. we arrived ni Stonewall, our destination, and observed extensive preparations being made for the com ing Tournament. This being our hrst visit we were agreeably surprised at the size of the place, and amount of business done. Mr. C. H. Fowler, the largest and most prominent merchant, has two extensive stores 30x125 which contains an endless variety and quantity of goods. Ho does a business of at least a hundred thousand dollars a year, lie is one of the wealthiest merchants in Eastern Carolina. During our stay at Stonewall we -were the guests of Mr. Fowler,-Dr. and Mrs. Kennedy to whom we desire to especially return thanks for theoourteuies extended. Sunday we attended church at Bay boro, a few miles distant, and heard a most excellent sermon by the Rev. Dr. Call; uiite a large congregation pres ent, notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather. , Monday we returned to rfew Berne and during the entire trip we were treated with marked . consideration by Capt. S. S. Gibba and first officer Salter We congratulate the Company on Be curing such efficient and competent officers. Travelling filorihs. Pamlico Items. New stores, brass, bands, new mills, steam boats and babies are flush here. Our brass band are receiving instruc tions. Prof. Fullman Seems to under stand the blowing business. We are pleased with the Elm City, We feel somewhat metropolitan now we are a commercial center. Mr. J. Dean has about all he can at tend to, looking after his new grist mill, and has just started his steam saw mill. success to him. ' : . Several of our citizens are excited over a prospective visit to Stonewall to the grand tournament. We expect to see old Dick to the antebellum wagon marching on, with W. W. R. and others. . , , Last Slinday Mr. J. W. Caroon could be seen rubbing his hands (not his mill hands) excitedly. Un enquiry we learned that his better half had present ed him with a son. Many happy re- turns,-say we. . " A 820.00 Biblical Reward.
