' A great many of the citizens of this and surrounding counties are taking advantage of this and sending theirs childron to New Berno to the Graded School. Via. this way they re ceive the Very best instruction possible, according to the best and most approved modern methods of teaching. Ve know of no better investment a man can make for bis son or daughter than a first-class common school education,' such as' he can get get in the New Berno Graded School."1, Better give your children an education than gold or silver or lands. It ' seems a . strange thing to ua that a man can'allow his children to grow up in ignorance and awkwardness.; We hope to see the good farmers all over the country Bend their children to the Graded School. - It is a sign of the gen oral 'growth and improvement which is coming to us all over the State and the South.

This certainly Bpoaks well i for the hull and gives, assurance that i she is strongly built and well prepared for the work in which she is engaged Well Trained. , So well are the horses of the Atlantic Fire Company, trained that, when Hie fire bell rang yesterday evening; though' the driver was temporarily absent, they rushed froia their stalls, iook' position under the drop harness, without direc tion from any perBon further than open' ing the stalls.; In fact, before the stalls, were opened, these sagacious animals were '.'prancing' around and. ..neighing with as much earnest desire to get out as if endowed with human intelligence. We speak of the Atlantic because next door to our office, and this circumstance come under our immediate observation and have no cause to doubt that the New Bernq's horses are, equally well disciplined.' But while about it 1 we will .'say that after having ' an oppor tu'nity of seeing the "get upau'J got',' of the fire departments of some of oar niotit progressive western cities, we have seen none that could do more than hold a light for thoKO of our city: Fire. The alarm of fire last evening was caused by the burning out of one of the smoke stacks of Maj. Dennison's mill. Both companies of the Fire Department were promptly out, but fortunately the fire was also out before they had an op portunity of seeing which could ,Put on the" first stream."

Quite a number of colored women were chasing .the steamer ; Neuse from wharf to wharf, yesterday morning, endeavoring to get passage up to the cotton farms on . the river, to engage in " picking out the cotton crop. When last seen they were making for Mr. Stimson's mill, where the steamer had stopped for freight, and it is sup posed they succeeded in making the trip.- ' -j ' Literary Oossip. Alticro Peto, by Lawrence Oliphant, is the first of the duodecimo edition of the Franklin Square Library, published by Harper & Brothers. The form is by far more ' convenient than the old square, or nearly square, books, and less liable to be torn in reading or have tho ;, outer leaves lost. The print and prices are tho same as the first issue 10, 15 and 20 cents, according to size. But the present volume is far below the average franklin Square novel, lne heroine gives name to the book which is highly sensational one of its heroes; for it has many being blown up in his castle in Ireland by dynamite. Two of the leading characters are California girls who astonish French and English society by their independent outrage of trie proprieties of polite' life. Price 20 cents. .- : ' . '.

Dio Lewis is of opinion that every body has "a. pet thought" ( which he in. vites them to re-produce in concise form and give utterance to in his magazine, of which we have never seen a number He sends us the following with a re- quest to "go and do, likewise," but it is not' "everybody" who can equal Dr Crosby, if we could we would, as it is we can only endorse him. 1 M. B. C.. A primal defect in our social life is the notion that girls have nothing to do. Boys are brought up to some employ ment,.. but girls to none, except where pecuniary want compels them.' The family that is "well-oil" hasjbusy boys and idle girls. The young man, after eating his breakfast, starts out to his daily .occupation, rand returns at tne close of the day. J The young woman, after; eating her breakfast (usually at a late hour), saunters about in quest of amusement. , Novels, gossip, shopping for unnecessary trifles), dressing in three or four different costumes, formal veiling, drawing (if able),, and loung ing; are tho" elements of the young wo man's dayvt In the evening, by. way of recreation(I), she goes to the theatre or a ball. : :i'i.-i .' -,.,....' . This unequal discipline of the sexes is the basis of innumerable evils. It makes the girl careless and selfish; it turns her mind to personal adornment and other frivolous matters as the great concerns of life; it takes away the sense of re sponsibility,' and produces" feebleness and disease ia bei ; physical Jconstition. It also prevents her from asserting, her true dignity in the eyes of man; for the life of utjilitjf i;alou0 (dignified. Wo men, thus brought up' in indolence1, are looked upon by men very much as "Were the women of the old dark times of the world, as mere playthings, expensive tovs. not as counsellors and friends. Marriage in such circumstances belongs to a low, sensual plane, and the girl is prepared neither in bodv nor mind for the serious 'responsibilities 1 and lofty duties' which marriage implies, Her training,' moreover, or lack of training, has made it necessary for a long purse to ; apply for her; Economy, helpful ness, co-operation these are not coming to the- new household , from this vain source, Dresses, drives, entertainments these will form the staple demands on the young husband. Accordingly in this life, where this class of young wo men is ; chiefly . found, .young man is (greatly to his hurt often) kept irom marrying by reason of its.; costliness whereas societv should" be so ordered that marriage" would help the larder and not beggar it. We want simplicity, of life, frugality, modesty, industry and system. If we could introduce these virtues in our higher society, we should diminish the despair, envy, jealousy, dissipation and suicides of the single. and the. bickerings, wretchedness and divorces of the married. Let' our girls have as regular daily duties as our boys. ' Let idleness be for bidden thorn. Let recreation bo indeed recreation, at proper times and in proper quantities. ' Let . us open more numerous avenues of female industry, and let every woman be clothed with the dignity of a useful life. Can such a reformation, be brought about? My dear Madam, begin it yourself. Rule your househole on this principle. Have the courage to defy fashion where it opposes. : Be a bold leader in this reform, and you will soon see a host of followers glad to escape from the old folly. Howard Crosby. , Swansboro Items. Next Monday the steamer comes. John Sammons claims the largest watermelons raised here. On one vine he raised 9 melons, one of them messed 8 persons, and it was not the largest one either. ;''''' '"'.' -.''

She can knit 24 yards per day and attend to her household duties.,, tin" ',. , , ; . ? t Major Russell is separating cotton from seed and burs, and Dan Ward is eating gopher ' peas and mussels, and Capt. Laughlin, postmaster, is selling the new postage stamps and eating fried figs in place of soft crabs. : ' ? No marriages this weok as we hear of; one to come off next week. Capt. N. S, Moore, our young widower here, has just returned from a trip and report says he will make one more, and then- well we won't say what. Go it, Capt. Nic, we don't blame you. Some very hot weather with us lately and some considerable ' sickness and one death. Mr. A. F. Farnell, sr., is very low; has been at the point of death, Mrs. H. R. Ward has been very sick; some better now. - Mr. Abner Kellara lost his little boy last week; he was the child of his old age and wo sympathize with him. Our farmers and fishermen are not in such good spirits as they might be, as the crops are not as good as expected throughout, and the late storm has pre vented, the latter from catching the usual 'quantity of fish; however, the weather bids fair to be good now, and a good run of , fish is expected this month. When we get our hotel, our steam boat, church, etc., we want a telegraphic communication,' want a station here,' it is a splendid place for it and we can haye it if we try, but we need not wait for all of these things to be furnished, we can have the office now and so let people know what and when all are do ing, etc., as we go along with our work, So let us have a telegraph office, it has been talked of and now let's have it. Our school is closed now. We have about forty children that ought to be at school all the time, and it seems strange that oUr good citizens don't attend to this important duty. , We have schools pretty, thick in the country, why not have one here .all the time? Geo. T, Farnell ' has just closed his school at Piny Grove, three miles from here; now George, can't you come down and take charge of our scholars? If you won't come, let some one else come. ; " Our merchants have plenty of goods. Pittman, Dennfe, and friend T. S. with Mattocks, are all doing" well and are in splendid spirits oyer the prospects , of the' steamboat ' navigation here. K They have all taken shares and will go to Beaufort on the 9th inst. to the meeting of i the company. ,( Another . thing is needed here, after the steamers and hotel,' we should have a new church. This thing has been talked of sometime and now let us have it. i Our old church is about played out and we must have a new one'Jiv At vH-'V .,rA W. E.

' , Mr. Alonzo Dunn killed a squirrel about a month ago which had a genuine tape-worm in its entrails. He shot the squirrel to pieces very badly but got enough of the worm to measure over seven feet m length.. This is no story; it can be proved by several witnesses. Farmers are having a hard time get ting out their cotton. Labor ia scarce and the weather has been so disagreeable that the cotton is falling out on the ground and rotting; There will not be over two-thirds of a crop of cotton and about three-fourthB of a' crop of corn. Look out for hard times next year. The old cows and hogs, are having a hard time this rainy weather. Hogs are dying with the short-corn-cob cholera. ; They get so poor before they die they have to go twice in a place to make a shadow. So much for the ' 'stock law." What has become of the law 'for the prevention of cruelty to ani mals"? , '.: THE LATEST NEWS. Galveston, Oct. 0. A special to the Areu from Dallas says that probably the largest and most destructive fire that has ever occurred there is now raging, At 11 o clock a fire broke out in the en gine room of W. U. Howard & Co. 's elevator and soon after the flames were issuing from all directions. The eleva tor is situated at the Texas & Pacific depot, one block north of Elm street, The flames spread rapidly and soon the cotton yard of the campus, occupying a block of ground immediately ad joining the elevator, caught fire and was consumed. A strong wind is blowing from the southeast, and the heat from the district is frightful. At 12:30 o'clock the elevator fell with a crash. The brick building adjoining it, occupied Dy Hinxer, uavis e uo., con taining boilers and engines, is also a total bss. The flames rapidly spread and soon the ootton around the city campus, across from the elevator, caught and is being rapidly burned. At 12:45 the fire caught and wiped out the electric light works and Liney's sta Dies, mat part of the town in which it is now spreading is composed of small frame structures. There is no telling where it will stop. 'lne elevator contained wheat and oats to the amount of 80,000 bushels, all of which was destroyed. There are also 40.000 bales of cotton consumed thus i far. ' Prominent . insurance men estimate the loss at $1,000,000, and the insurance at $750,000. It is said that there were nearly 15,000 bales of cotton in the yard and around the compress. and fully half of that number have been consumed. Begin Early in Life . to cleanse the teeth with SOZODONT, and you will be repaid in maturer years and very1 probably in age, by the posses sion or sound molars and incisors, which will give you a more youthful look than you would otherwise have, and enable you to chew, without incurring the pen alty of a toothache. And when . you have children, use the same fragrant preparation and they will have ample cause to be grateful to you. Don't omit it for a single day,, j Mrs. J. Stewart. Monroe, N.
