the Observer and hereafter the paper

a wise step. It takes the undivided sup-

be..
The schooner Elizabeth, Capt. Hat ten,
, arrived from Norfolk yesterday with a

What MeanetU It.
We notice quite a shower of railroad

all left on the train. Capt. Oaksmith
was there, too, and says there is some
thing in the wind.. ' :'" ''
The Quaker Bridge Hoad .
' Mr. F. G. Simmons, chairman of the
commissioners of Quaker Bridge Road,
returned from the Work on Wednesday
and reports that it is going on finely.
He thinks convict labor is worth more
than free labor, and we believe some of
the farmers around Raleigh think so
too. if- 1 'i'-: "' .

We were shown a private letter on
yesterday, from Murfreesboro ; which
stated that there was a lady teaching in

Miss Parham who had not ate anything
since last August, but ground peas and
nuts, except occasionally a small bit of
of candy. She is never hungry,' and
her friends cannot prevail upon her to

The Theatre To-night.
The HumptyDumpty troupe will ap
pear at the theatre to-night. The
Charleston News and Courier has this to
say of it: - ' -
Bob A. Hewlett's lluuipty Dumptv
at the Academy of Music last night at
tracted a large audience, and the enter
tainment was voted on all sides a grand
one. A number of new features were
introduced, including songs and dances,
feats on the horrizontal bar, wire walk
ing, etc., the whole forming ii fanciful
melange which brought forth frequent
and hearty applause.
The Pea Crop.
From what we can gather from the
truckers there was not much damage
done the pea crop by tho cold snap. Mr.
Rhem says the early planted peas are
hurt to some extent: Mr. Dunn says he
thinks the damage very slight, if indeed
there is any at all, and Mi Geo. Allen
reports that the farms ou the south side
of Trent river, several of which he visi
ted yesterday, are looking well; E. R.
Dudley says the 'early p1 anted are hurt
to some extent. With ; no misfortune
from now on we may expect a full crop.

The Baltimore Live Stock Association
has had a receiver appointed. Several
of the policy holders have received
notice from the receiver to forward
assessment, but we think it will be hard
to find one fool enough to respond to the
call of the receiver. Mr. J. H. Foy, of
Onslow, who holds a policy in said
company says they nave notinea him
that in case his hortfe gets Bick he must
inform the company twelve hours be
fore he dies. This deviltry alone he
says was enough to satisfy him that it
was a humbug. .
ITIarriage fn HlKh'(Colored) Life.
On the S2d inst. there was a marriage

The whole party was under the direc
tion of Mrs. J no. Randolph and Mr.
Timothy York, and was recherche in
every particular., ' ; '',';
The music was by the New Berne
Band, and dancing continued to a late
hour. ';y ! ,'':.'!'
The whole affair was a great one and
bears favorable comparison, when; sta
tion in life is considered, with the gay
wedding of the Hon David Davis.
On the next morning the happy couple
started on a tout tq their home at Idalia
followed by the hearty good wishes of
numerous friends, both white and col
ored.

Onslow County Items-
Mr. L. H. Cox, the Singer Sewing Ma
chine agent, has lately purchased Piny
Green from Mr. James Frazel. Mr.
Cox has greatly improved the place, and
has turned the puhlio roads, making
Piney Green worth five hundred dollars
more. Piney Green is said to be the
best stand for a merchant and one of
the best farms in Onslow county. Mr.
Cox has commenced building a new
dwelling house and a new Store at his
place, which, when completed, will be
one of the prettiest places in the State.
Mr. Cox thought he would have some
trouble to get the road turned at his
place, but being such a good sewing ma
chine agent, the county commissioners
and supervisors gave him an order to
change the road.

An Open Air Baptizing Amidst tho
Snow and Sleet.
Last Sunday was the day appointed
for the immersion of a number of con
verts by the Rev. Z. Haughton, pastor
of the colored Baptist church, and not
withstanding the drop of the mercury
and the fall of snow and sleet, a big
crowd, about oue third of whom were
arrayed to go down in the water, as
sembled around the pool, which is.
located on the gas house branch, east of
Myers stroet. The parson wadod into
the pool and stood in water up to his
waist, while the converts whose faith
overbalanced their fears of the chilling
water, walked m ana were immersed
by the faithful preacher. Twenty wo
men weie baptized, but only one man
out of twenty-one others who had ap
pointed to be baptized would go into
he water, the others preferring to
wait until the weather moderates. The
preacher stood in the water for fully
half an hour, during which time, the
songs and shouts of the newly baptized
ladened the air around with music

Water.
Me. Editor: An examination
of the bottled water left at Col
Jordan's stero for inspection is cal
culated to set us all thinking, and
ernaps it may be that it has at
ready had a material effect in re
during the consumption of that ar
ticle in this community by the sub
stitation of a worse beverage.
Chemists tell us that it is next to
m possible to hud a sample of ab
solutely pure water, and that sim
ple tests lor deciding upon inequal
ity oi water have nor yet been
found. Impurities of water are of
two kinds foreign matter m solu
tion, and material in suspension
This latter is partially removed by
nitration, but we doubt exceedingly
any water, however pure origin
ally, can be kept pure so long as it
is exposed to a dust-laden atmos
phere. Professor Tyndall has made
exhaustive experiments with infu
sions of different teas strained
through every device calculated to
remove every particle held in sola
tion ; these lntusions, alter being
earelully seared and carried to the
glaciers . of the Alps, where we
might expect to find a clear atmos
phere, and then unsealed and left
exposed to the air, have very soon
thereafter developed signs of the
lowest forms of life. This low form
of life is fonnd about us at all times
but is so completely hidden beneath
other names that we tail to recog
nize it. A quarter of iresh meat
hung in an atmosphere entirely
free from dust shows no sign of
decay whatever, while exposed to
an ordinary atmosphere its putn
faction is only " a question of days
influenced by conditions ol heat or
cold, and this putrifaction is the
work ol iomcnts resulting from the
low forms of life which have been
attached thereto from the surround
mg atmosphere. It seems, there
fore, that it is impossible to expect
in view of the above, that absolute
purity is to be tound anywhere
Most certainly cistern water is de
cidedly impure, although it may not
be dangerously so: the same applies
to lake and pond water. Croton
water, if kept any great length of
time, passes through its period of
lomentation, becomes loul, thic
and ropey, but afterwards clean and
palatable It is not absolutely cer
tain that the samples of water re
ferred to contained impurities when
taken from the well, but that these
.impurities result from contact with
a dust-laden atmosphere prior to
sealing. This is not saying, how
ever, that the average of water
used in this city is not as good as
it should be or might be under more
caretul conditions of storage. It
not to be taken that water is of ne
cessity impure because the roots of
trees reach nito the wells; in many
localities willow trees are planted
near wells with eo" other object
than the, removal of impurities
through their roots reaching the
water. When this question is thor
oughly studied it seems that this
low form of life is met nearly every-
where and that it permeates all
that; ' va ifl.r. and rlrinlr and la a.
fruitful cause of disease and espe-
ciaiiy should be guarded against in
cases of, wounds and onen rotor.

great surprise when the snow
ceased to fall yesterday. All were
getting used to it; and there were
several wagers that it would snow
all the week. It was a keen disap
pointment.
Kaleigh New and Observer,
Ualeigh escaped lightly out of the
snow business. The Salvation
Army has failed to put in an ap
pearance yet. The oldest inhab
itant was again interviewed on the
weather question yesterday, but
frankly acknowledged that as be
tween Monday and yesterday he
had never seen such a contrast in
all his long and eventful life.
The articles ot military equipment
now made for this State, of metal
or leather, all have "U. C." stamped
upon them, these letters replacing
the"U. S." The equipments are

"Call theNextCase, Sir."
Forty years ago, Eatonton, Ga.,
was a last town. Uambhng ol ail
kinds, oock-fighting and horse rac
ing was the rule, as it is the excep
tion now. Why, sir, at one term of
the court 1845 or 1846 the Grand
Jury returned one true bill against
forty persons John W. Ashurst,
Solictor-General, and a number of
prominent lawyers included in one
batch of gambliing.. It was in the
case that it is said Judge Uone
made himself famous. When the
case was reached, all of the defend
ants arose and pleaded guilty.
Judge Cone fined each of them $10
and costs and lectured them severe
y upon the uselessness and immor
tality of such habits and the vici
ousness ol the example they were
setting for the youth of the country;
then commanding the neienaants
to take their seats, with a solemn
face, buj; a merry twinkle in his eye,
he turned to the : clerk and said,
" Now, Mr. Clerk, enter after theae
cases, Sate of Georgia vs. Judge
Cone: gambling special informa
tion by llis Honor; plea ot guilty,'
and find him $100 and costs. Call
the next case, sir."
