Tho Sidewalks Again. Editor Journal: Allow mo space in your valuablo paper to express my full concurrency in the opinion advanced by iruth" in your issue of yestorday. It seems to me that any correct thinking citizen has at heart the best interests of New Berne arid is desirous of seeing: the sidewalks in good condition, and also teautifying the city so as to make it a pleasant place for tourists from the North. Your city has everything to recommend it except the condition of the streets, and allow me, as a sojourner for a Drier time, to express to you my opinion as to the condition of the side walks. They are the worst that I have ever seen, and! have traveled much; ana a stranger wouuwind it exceeding ly dimcult to get about at night as your darkness, streets are in darkness, and when lighted, only "light enough to make the One of our city councumen has openly darkness visible." 'lhey are in so bad violated the city ordinance by erecting a frame building within the fire district. It was moved, however, just across the line, and will be used by the little daughter of J. K. Willis as a doll baby house. ' Our Register of Deeds is not troubled with recording many chattel mortgages . and lien bonds yet, but says he is busy on renewals or extensions that is, those who were not able to pay op this year are having the time extended un- til next fall. . ''Skater'' says a skating rink will be opened at tho Weinstoin Hall and he thinks it a good thing. Young people will seek places of amusement, and per haps the skating rink is as free from corrupting influences as any place they can find for physical exercise. The master of the schooner M. L. ... Wiedroorerecently arrived at Washing ton, N. C, from the West India islands, a condition, tuat even many of your citizens find it difficult to get about at night, and on the east side of Middle street between Pollock and South Front it is dangerous to waiK on, even in day light. I suggest that your Common Council establish a grade and compel the property owners to take some steps in the matter. If a stranger or a citizen should receive an injury from defective sidewalks I think, the city is liable for the damages. Such is the law in other cities, and why not here? Could not some plan bo adopted by which the citv and the property owners jointly share the expense of placing the walks in good order? " But I would advise the Com mon Council to take no action in the matter, until they establish a grade. Now as to the lights, I understand that the city pays about two prices for every lamp. If such is the case. I fully agree with "Truth" that your people had bet ter dispense with lights and lit up your sidewalks; as the matter now stands, the lamps are of but little use at night, for the sidewalks are in too bad a con dition to walk on in the day; and the same amount of money now spent in one year for poor lights, would' make lock, has come home from Richmond Female Institute, Richmond, Va., to stay. MissCapitola Grainger, daughter of our townsman, Mr. Jesse Grainger, spent the holidays at her home here. She is a pupil of Greensboro Female College.

Kinston College and the Graded School opened again to-day (Monday). Now for tho "home stretch," boys and girls keep the rest of your courting till summer vacation. Rev. E. E. Orvis, a former pastor of the Disciples Church at this place, died suddenly in Salisbury, N. C, on the 27th inst, Notice of his death was tele graphed to Mr. N. D. Myers on the 28th. Apropos of presents, we have been the gratified recipients of another Xmas gift in the shape of several cans of most delicious fruit from Mrs. A. and Mrs D. Oettingcr. We make our best bow to them. Mr Thos. Faulkner, a former resident of Kinston, but now telegraph opbrator in Wilmington, JN. u., was in town a few days last week. We are glad to to know that ho is doing well in his business. Mr. W. D. Pollock, a Kinston boy, is spending some days with us. We are very glad to see that he takes a high stand in his studies. Lenoir county has been the banner county at the Univer sity for seyoral years. Your itemizer was the recipient of a handsome Christmas present from Mr. Robert Edmond of five partridges. It seems to come natural for a newspaper man to love good eating. We return our hungriest thanks to Mr. Edmond The Christmas Eve frolic of some of the Kinston boys went rather too far. Some gates were wrenched off the hinges, causing pecuniary loss. Fences were seriously damaged. The offended law may yet have its course with these offenders. Prof. J. Dan. Miller, Principal of Centreville Academy, in Pitt county, spent Christmas week in our town. The Professor has aged a little under the onerous burden of teaching.

Visions of rabbit hunting went gallop ing through the brains of the little boys, But in five minutes, hope vanished into thin air and dark despair settled down into their hearts. day in each month, at 11 o'clock, a.m., beginning the first bun day in February, 1885. The members of the church and Christians, and people in the commu nity, are cordially invited. A few years ago there were but few. and a very fow, bird hunters in our sec tion. Now every one who has a gun and dog, or can borrow either or both, styles himself a bird hunter. It is grat ifying to know, and a 'great protection to the feathered tribe, that it is not every one who can shoulder a gun and whistle to a dog can kill a partidge. We hear that R. C. Croom has sold his farm near this place lo John Wool ard of Wayne county. Mr. Croom has purchased a house and lot in town from Mr. Woolard, and we presume will be come one of our citizens. Mr. Woolard will probably move to his farm and be come a "tiller of the soil." They are both good citizens, and we welcome Air. Croom to town, and Mr. Woolard to a residence near town. Rev. Mr. niers preached here Satur day, Sunday and Sunday night his regular monthly appointment. He did not preacn at JUicKory urove, as an nounced, probably because it was an nounced that Rev. Mr. Nash would preach there on that day, which we learn he failed to do. It may be that the last appointment was intended to prevent the first, and if such was the object it was effective. It was announced on Sunday that Mr Whitaker, of Raleigh, would deliver a temperance lecture in the Baptist unurcn in our place next Tuesday nignt, nis ODject Doing to organize a Temperance Council here. We hope that the movement will be a success, and a permanent reform the result- We have seen for some time that something was needed to keep people from drink ing too much, and probably this is the thing. The organization of an "Anti Street-Cussing Society" would also add much to the morals of the town, as the town ordinances are ineffective in this respect. One other organization, "re quiring every man to attend to his own business and to let others alone," would obviate the necessity of applying to the next Legislature to appoint a fool-killer for the place. With these organizations we could enter upon the new year with new life and brighter prospects for the future. Journal Office, Dec. 30. 8 P. M. COTTON. New York futures quiet but steady; spots quiet.

At Alhama over 350 bodies have already been recovered. At rerinna village, in Andalusia, about 80 miles from Malaga, great damage was done and many lives lost. Sixty bodies have so far been re covered. Many persons died of fright The convicts in the State prison at Seville took advantage of the excite ment occasioned by the earthquake to create mutiny with the hope of escaping, The disturbance was quelled, however, The population of Uranada are still encamped in the square, and the richer classes are lodging in car riages along the promenade.

Boker, of Macon, Ga., writes: "In 1878 I was attacked by the most ravenous sort of cancerous sores, that ate great holes into my flesh and spread rapidly over my body. I received the very best medical attention; was dosed with mercury and potash until I was so crippled with mercurial rheumatism that I could scarcely hobble about; my throat and mouth were badly ulcerated; my hair began to fall out. So wrecked was my general health that I became a physical rum and my life was a burden For a long time I was bed-ridden, and my suffering was so intense that I praved for death as a relief. I exhaust ed the-whole catalogue of patent medi cines, in each case following the direc tions religiously. &ach in turn seemed to aggravate the malady, and none of them benefited me jn any way. When life was apparently hopeless I com menced taking S. S. S. To this Specific I owe my life, in ten days l com menced improving, and in a short time was perfectly well. My hair has grown out thick; my health and strength have returned; the, ulcers in my throat and mouth are entirely cured; my appetite has returned, and for the first time in years I enjoy my food. Every Bore has disappeared from my body. I weigh as much as I ever did in my life, and am perfectly healthy in every way. The very germs of the cancerous affliction are destroyed. Not only is. the terrible malady that was preying on my life, and which every one pronounced incurable, entirely cured, but I am also relieved of the bad effects of the mercury and pot' ash mixtures that l was id on for years." ; ; Beware of fotash and Mercury mix tures, gotten up to imitate our specific, they are dangerous.
