The season of the year is not a propi tious one for a discussion as to who is to clean the streets whether the city authorities or citizens owning lots. From now until October or until a kill ing frost visits us it is all impoi tant to the health of the place that the sanitary condition be kept good, or the serious consequences of neglect may be felt in a more impressive manner than the as sembling together of (a few citizens in an ostensible indignation meeting. Malaml fever, well disseminated through the town, would be an unfor tunate umpire to settle the controversy, and we trust that it may not be allowed an opportunity of tendering its effective services by a cessation of the effectual remedies so well begun and so properly carried on by the board of aldermen up to the present timer The health of the city concerns every one and is as important to theTich as to the poor, and Bhouldjclaim the attention 6f all alike; and although the general cleanliness of the city is in the care of the council, yet much of the uncleanli ness rests upon the shoulders of the citi zens. Hence it is only by a co-operative system of work that a perfect condition of cleanliness can be possibly attained and kept up.' Apropos to this point we quote from our able contemporary the Norfolk Landmark the following, which appears in that paper under the head of 'Responsibility of Housekeepers'": "But, after all, the great body of citi zens and householders should nrnke it their duty to keep the city clean. An immense amount of work can bo done by housekeepers in this direction, with very little trouble. They should, above all things, refrain from casting garbage in tne streets, ana instead ot doini; tins. as is the case in parts of the city, they should collect it in barrels, and put it out as directed by law to be carted off by the city, lhe councils and the board of health have certain things to do in this direction; and we are assured that it is the intention to do full justice to the occasion. We intend, to the best of our ability, to keep all parties up to their duty in this matter; and the house holders who neglect the precaution of keeping their premises clean are offend ers against themselves and the commu nity. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and this maxim should be posted up in the minds ot every head of a family." High Water at Vancehoro. We learn by Capt. Ipock of the steamer Florence that the water at Vanceboro during the past few days has been nine feet higher than ever known before at that place. The long continued easterly wind has forced the tide up to a considerable height, and the heavy rains haye swollen the streams above, and the two meeting have produced the result stated. The chief difficulty of navigation, un der the circumstances, is that boats are raised up to such a height as to throw them in contact with the limbs and branches of trees that are above them, when the streams are lower, and in creases tlio necessity of having the boughs cut out of the way and let the highway take the course of the law and extend from the bed of the stream to the clouds and sky. Fine Pear. Our townsman Mr. T. J. May sent in yesterday a basket of very fine pears some that would, in size, have com pared favorably with any at the fruit fair recently held at Goldsboro. Our farmers must remember that fruit will constitute a part of the exhibits at the State Exposition, and we tell them now they need not be afraid to carry fruit grown in this section for we are certain they can make as fine a display as any section in the State. We wish to show at the Exposition a fair sample of every useful thing our soil is capable of pro' ducing. Fruit is among the most im portant. . ' . , Over the Falls. Every once in a while some one takes the fearful plunge over the Falls of Ni agara, - these , startling occurrences having just about frequency enough to keep one in a respectful awe of such trip. This time it is Mr. Albert Woodke who has performed the rash act, and from causes unknown to his most inti mate friends. He undressed himself handed his watch and money, amount ing, to twenty-one cents, to two stran gers, and then ran down the rocks and after some gestures and utterances which they could not understand plunged into the cataract and thence into the sea of eternity. He was on the eve of embarking in the saloon business with a partner, and the man with whom he boarded says he can assign no reason for the rash act. His identity was es tablished by a bill for the purchase of the watch, and some receipts showing that he had paid for it by installments which were in the pockets of the clothes he left on the rocks.

Editor Journal: A visit to More- head City this late in the season will! convince the most casual observer "That life is a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets upon the stage, etc." The heartaches and innumerable little jealousies existing among the young folks, with their quaint and somewhat amusing flirtations; the proud and eelf-satisfled looks of the dames wLo have children just entering the mazes of the rather pretty, but danger ous german, in traiuing as it were be fore making their debut into the fash ionable, flimsy, butterfly society as it exists to-day. I say that a visit to Morehead City is calculated to afford plenty of material for a casual observer to ponder over for weeks. The germans at the Atlantic are really very pretty, and "Oh! so nice." I may be called an old fogy when I say that I, as a single man, somewhat acquainted with the ways of the world. (I trust I will not be considered egotistical when I say that I am tolerably well acquainted with the people wno compose it, as my career lias been as varied as most of men, and 've made a special study of human na ture) that the indiscriminate round dances indulged in, in dancing the ger man of to-day must meet with rav un equivocal disapproval; it is dangerous and I 'm sorry to see it adopted by so ciety people everywhere. Considerable amount of snobbishness exist at all watering places, and we presume it will be so till the end of time, some little there but not enough to make It dis agreeable to visitors. The crowd at the Atlantic, owing to the cool weather, is smaller than it has been since the season opened. An excursion from Sniithfiekl and Goldsboro went down on the 12th and had a sprinkling of pretty ladies among them who seemed to enjoy them selves as observers of the few society people who kill time in dancing and otherwise. The season for blue fishing is not fairly commenced, but several parties who went trolling made fine catches. The hotels have done well during the season, lhe cuisine at the Atlantic is very good, the management vory polite and accommodating. This is as it should be. Whenever I see indiscrimi nate pulling and praising of hotels at watering places, I take it that the writers are dead heads and that is the manner in which they pay for their grub. I am opposed to that kind of editing or running a newspaper. Upon the whole M. City is "one of the finest summer resorts on the Atlantic coast, and the wide spread advertisement by all those who have spent a few days there this summer will draw crowds next season, and will tend to make it the most fashionable and pleasant sum mer retreat this side of Newport. V. Onslow Items. No marriages or deaths as heard from this week, but our two or three widow ers are sparking powerful, and if leap year don't fix 'em up, they will no doubt take a leap from its decision soon. Pretty healthy around here; don't near of much sickness, and very little sickness in the convict camp at this time, though four or five convicts were sick a little last week, they are better now. The farmers nave experienced some losses by rains and winds and the fine corn crops in our neighborhood are looking considerably weather-beaten. Hope this bad weather won't last many more days. Mr. II. H. Sandlin showed me the largest tomato I have ever seen; it was of the bright smooth red kind, very large and solied. I don't know the variety. It weighed 17i ouuees, and in a half bushel there were several that weighed over 12 ounces. I kept it five days trying to get a way to send it to the Journal, but could get no way and had to save it by helping others to put it out of sight. And Mr. Cypress creek comes along and caps the climax in a squash, and says: "Talk about your Gum Branch onions and cabbage," etc. No harm in that; we are glad that something big can be raised and spoken of all over the country, and we think we know where he got the seed from. A gentleman in Carteret county raised ono of them things once that was bo large that he raised a bow and pigs in the shell of it after he had used the flesh for food pur poses. And Cad Koonce's onions were the largest we had seen up to that time and if they were strong enough to assist the Editor of the Journal in getting two or three subscribers, all well and good; no harm in that. But you send that squash to Nunn and get your paper free for one year; if you take the paper already, get it and give it to some of your neighbors, it will pay you. Big snakes and turtles are about washed away, and the bears, well, they are going to school to Mr. Bear, over in Jones county, to learn how to toat pump kins on their heads and roasting ears in their arms to fatten hogs with. The gentleman who told that bear story seemed to want the good people not to think he was the originator of the story and wants to make it appear that he is a man among men, and one who keeps truth on his side. etc. Well, we happen to know him 'ourselves, and don't doubt it in the least, for we never knew him to depart from that good thing truth if he ever had it ho has it still; but that was nothing very strange in a bear, as they are as sensible as men in some things, for I have once seen a bear nurs ing a little baby, and acting very much like its own mother, even using a spoon to feed it with, and if I was to tell you Mr. -made that bear story himself to beat George Ward's alligator story, who would believe iU Big picnic at the Alum Spring, near Sheriff Murrill "s place yesterday, and notwithstanding the very inclement weather a large party were in atten dance. Mr. Joe Ward, from Pollobs ville, and Miss Ida Pittman, from Swansboro, werejthere, and our friend G. W. Smith, Esq., of White Oak poco-: sin fame, and the would be probable candidate for thS House from this county, was on hand and in his glory. I hear George is to be married soon, if so, well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of thy love and matrimony. My old friend of Confed erate fame, Capt. Robert W. Joyner tf company E, 27th Regiment, was there, and gave us a taste of his oratory. Bob was a good soldier during the late war and we are glad to bear he has not varied and in his course of goodness. These and s great many other visitors from a distance were at the Spring, and we should not be surprised to hear of some one or two getting spliced for life at no distant day. Walter Murrill has recovered from his late illness, and he may be of that number, I don't think he has any objections, himself. Kinston Items. The true returns of the primary Re publican elections last Saturday look more decisive. It is now pretty gene rally conceded that Sheriff Davis will be his own successor as sheriff of this county. Not long ago a young Florida negro named Romeo married a young colored woman named Juliet. They now have twins which they have named Romulus and Remus, and they are all driven to church every Sunday by a horse named Pontius Pilate in a carriage named Noah's Ark. The Chinese are the oldest and safest philosophers. They teach that the edu cation of woman is superfluous, if not detrimental. The idea of cramming them with Conchology, Mineralogy, Botany, Syntax and Prosody is contrary to the original design, and perhaps sin- lui. uou, tuoy say, made woman per fect and let her remain so. It begins to look now as if Jas. G. Cox will be tho Republican nominee for the House of Kepresentatives from tnis county. It is said, if elected, he will imitate his grandfather and walk bare foot, his shoes in his carpet-bag, to the Stato capital. If there is a man in this county who can get the stock law re pealed and the old order of things re stored, Jas. G. Cox is the candidate to do it. Since Gen. West of Mississippi has de clined the Greenback Vice-Presidential nomination on the Ben. Butler ticket, John Brown, now conducting the im mense dry goods business of E. M. Sperling at Kinston, is a candidate for the vacancy. It would be just the thing for the Ureenbackers to nominate him. His name would certainly aid General flutter in drawing from Blaine and Logan the negro vote of the South. The recent heavy rains have Beriously damaged the prospects for a large re turn in the cotton crop. There are good prospects, however, for corn and "apple jack." Brother Sutton, of Sand Hill, tells brothor Urady of Kinston he ex pects to turn out about one thousand gallons of pure old "apple jack," four hundred gallons of which ho intends to use in compaign purposes. Brother Grady expects to stick to him as long as the four hundred gallons last. A "Methodist Layman" of Ohio has written a pamphlet on the Sabbath, in which he asserts that the Sabbath was first given to the Jews only; that it was not introduced into the Christian sys tern at first; that the non-Jewish Chris tians observed no Sabbath for a hundred years; that it came with other corrup tions into the church; that it was re jected at the Reformation, but has grown up since among the rrotestants; and that properly it is not a doctrine of Methodism or of the Anglican (Jhurcn. Mr.' Edwards, the King brick block merchant, has recently been troubled with a class of visitors whom he "wel comes with bloody hands to hospitable graves." First, an ugly river moccasin undertook to clerk for him without his consent and immediately recoived the death penalty. Again, last Tuesday night, at his residence, while utterly alone in his "grass widowhood," muffled burglar wanted to get to his big trunk through a side window, but the back door suddenly flow open and a rapid succession of pistol shots occurred. Now the great merchant says if any one is seen with a bullet in his arm, he put it there. Christian Union: Any man who wants to get possession of wealth which he has not produced by hon est industry industry of hand or brain, of action or thought wants to rob his neighbor. Kob is a snort word: bnt it is a plain word: and it expresses exactly what wc mean.
