:- Oyster Troubles. ' "
Some of the oystermeh who brought
up cargoes to Moore & Brady's packing
house a few days ago, report that a large
bed of oysters had been found , near
' Great Island, not far from Swan Quar
ter, but parties living in the vicinity
tad threatened to shoot them if they
' took the oysters, though they were using
' nothing but the ordinary tongs and
Staking only from the natural bed.
Was this disposition on tbe part of the
' people living near the oyster bottoms
that caused the re-enacting of the dredge
law. They seem to think the sound be'
. longs to them, and they are afraid the
oysters will all be taken-away, so they
can no longer reap without sowing.
It is well that they should under'
stand that these oyster bottoms belong
to the State; that the State has offered
to protect a man in the cultivation of
oysters provided ho enters his ground
according to law, .and that when not
' thus entered one man has as much right
to the natural beds as another. -
t There is doubtless moro legislation
needed, provided it could be of the
, right sort, on this question, and we
hope Commissioner Worth will be able
to make the proper recommendations
. to the next General Assembly in regard
to it. If the fish and oystergrounds
. the State are to remain free, then what
" right has a party of men to threaterf.to
'shoot others for taking the same liberty
claimed to themselves. .... ;
' The Debt Question. --'V:; Y:.'t-l::,:--
, It is only Two weeks from next Mon
day when the question of .bonding the
-present indebtedness of the city will be
submitted to the people of New Berne,
It must be remembered that one branch
of this question is not to increase the in
debtednesss but to so arrange the pres
eat debt that it may be paid without em
barrnesiug the city. The bonds are to
be taken at par, and if the exact amount
of indebtedness can be ascertained be
fore issuing them we can see no objec
tion to this plan of paying tbe debt,
is certainly much better than floating
without any accurate knowledge as to
the amount out. It would be far better
if tbe board of council would confine
itself in the expenditures to the receipts
but the question now is, not what the
board ought to do, but what shall be
done with the debt now partly in judg
nients and partly floating about thecity
If it is a dett that the city must pay
strikes us that bonding (it will put it in
LjUer tl,e exact amount will
frnown, an! tVsere will be no question
as to w heller or not it has been paid.
.ncUier braneli of ll.o question is
shall the city make a new debt of thir
teen thousand dollars for permanent
improvements, in the way of mayor's
office, city hall, engine house, market
house, etc. At present the city has to
rent tbese buildings. Docs the rent
paid out for these exceed six per, cent
interest on thirteen thousand dollars?
If not, why create tho debt ?
There is no evidence, that we are
awaie of, or. any ax to grind by any
ring or clique in this movement. It is
simply a business proposition submitted
to the people, and we hope they will act
upon it inti lligently and in a manner
that will benefit the community.
North American Review. :
With all her other troubles in Egypt,
and Ireland, and Asia old England has
also been passing through a serious ag
ricultural crisis, in which the ancient
proverbial expression, "as good as
wheat," lo;t its force, for the price of
that commodity touched the lowest
point it has reached in the life of this
generation. What brought on the crisis,
what were its effects, and what rem
edies haye been proposed, are questions
that concern the American almost as
much as the Englishman, whether he be
producer ox a consumer of v heat; and
thev are vervablv and clearlv discussed

Esq., he officiating. Mr. E. B. Simpson
and Miss Elizabeth Morris were hitched
in double harness for a life pull in this
world. Hope their trip may always be
as happy as tne start.
The buow commenced falling Tues
day meht about 10 o'clock, and. con
tinued up to this writing, Wednesday,
and the earth is now covered about
three and a half or four inches, the big'
gestwe have had since '76, and from
appearances now 9 a m. there is ne
telling what is to come.
Edmond Tingle, one of our good citi
zens, bad the misfortune to get his mare
badly hurt on last Sunday by getting
one fore-foot badly cut between the
hoof and fetlock, by getting it foul in a
strand of barbed wire fence. Last eve
ning your itemizer had a young mare
to try her dexterity on a barbed wire
fence of -F. F. Cherry's of this place.
She got well fouled in the wire, and was
entangled for several minutes until the
wire could be cut. Providentially no
serious aamagu was BUBuunea.
Our new treasurer happened to a
small mishap last night. He came to ceived from St. Petersbug fully con
Stonewall to chmch, and with him he firming Mr. Gladstone's view of the
brought one of Bayboro s young ladies.
Havine perfect confidence in his horse
he did not loose her from the buggy,
neither did he hitch" her. and when
services were over no horse or buggy
could be found. So they had to take a
private conveyance back, i. e.. on foot,
and the treasurer returned to Stonewall
to see about his horse, and ud to this
writing I have, not learned whether it
has been found or not.
C. M. Babbitt received the appoint
ment of clerk declined by Mr. F. P.
Gatlin. " Mr. Babbitt declined also, and
the appointment was tendered to Festus
Miller, a brother or the deceased offi
cial; who accepted and has given bond
and is ready to take the oath of office
on the meeting of the board of commis'
sioners. The appointment of Fes. will.
without doubt, give perfect satisfaction
He is not only competent, but is one of
the old tried and true Confederate sol
diers, who did his full duty in the days
that tried men, and many were found
wantinsr. but not so with him. He is as
true a Democrat as dwells in Pamlico,
and I know as good as ever lived within
her borders. If Judge Shepherd in all
his official acts does as well as he has
done in filling the clerk's place in our
county, Le will retire from office with
out spot or blemish.

Dear Sir: la reply to yours of 9th,

stating that I had occasion only laBt

gentlemen composing the Directory are
men or nigh standing, pecuniary ana
otherwise. I ' know several of the
officers and directors by public repute

entirely reliable. .

Gladstone Announces a Pacific Agree
ment Tvltn Russia.
London, March 16. Mr. Gladstone,
answering several interrogatories con
cerning tbe exact nature of the an
nounced agreement with Russia, said
Jnas ugiana ana aussia am agreed, as
, uaV uu iuuki
advances should be made in Afghanis
tan. The statement of this agreement,
tho Premier admitted, was based on the
interchange of communications between
Russia and carried on throueh Sir Ed
ward Thornton, British Ambassador at
t. Petersburg. The latest communica-
t,on on th.e B.uJJect .f Af8ha" dl
pute received from Sir Edward Thorn.
ton was that of March 5. But to obviate
any possible misunderstanding between
Her Majesty's Government and that of
the Czar, Earl Granville, British Foreign
Minister, on Saturday last wired hiB
(Mr. Gladstone's) exact words to Sir
Edward Thornton, asking him to ascer
tain whether or not' M. de Giers, RuS'
sian Prime Minister, indorsed as cor
rect the statement made by Mr. Glad'
stone of the agreement reached with
Russia. As yet no reply had been re
ceived to Saturday's message. There
had been no time to obtain the assent of
the Ameer of Afghanistan to the terms
of the arrangement made with Russia.
The. expression "agreement," said Mr,
Gladstone, "conveys a somewhat falla
cious idea of what has been obtained. I
prefer the word 'arrangement.'
''The telegram sent by Earl Granville
on Saturday to sir Edward Thornton
was merely, intended to ascertain
whether our understanding of the de
tails of this agreement or arrangement
was correct. There is no question as to
I the substance of it. "
Lord Hartington explained that the
Russians occupy Katan and Akrabat,
and that the Afghans etui occupy reni
deh. He refused, on the ground of
public policy, to make any public dis
closures.
I This evening the uovernment an
nounced that a telegram had been re-
Anglo-Kussian arrangement regarding
out-posts on the Kusso-Afghan frontier.
Mr. Gladstone's statement regarding
the arrangement between England
and Russia was rather indefinite, and
j greatly disappointed the . members of
Parliament. The Marquis of Salisbury
and Sir Stafford Northcote will to-mor
row insist . upon the Government ex
plaining the nature of the arrangement.
It is semi-officially stated in the lobby
Of the House of Commons that Sir Ed'
ward Thornton asked M. de Giers to ex
change a formal agreement that there
should bo no further advance of out
posts, and that M. de Giers requested
the adhesion of the Ameer of Afghanis
tan before pleasing Kussia,
Berlin, March 18. Prince Bismarck,
it is stated, has, ever since the amicable
adjustment of the Anglo-German col
onial dispute, been actively exerting all
his influence with Russia to avert the
threatened war with England

A Ghost Exposed. -Four
leading spiritual mediums have
been detected in fraud during the past
week. The account of one as sent by
telegraph is graphic enough: "Mrs.
Nannie Miller, a medium well known
in New York, Chicago and Denver, has
been giving some wonderful seances
here for the last month. Prof. John
son, of Washington University, and
Prof. Madden, of Johnson's Commercial
College, were skeptical of Mrs. Miller's
powers, and to test her went to a seance
this afternoon with a number of well
known people. They had formulated a
scheme, and when the lights were
turned down the audience under in
structions, began singing the "Sweet
By-and-By." Suddenly, out from the
cabinet came a young man with a pale
face and ghostly appearance. He beck
oned to Prof. Madden, and said that he
was a brother who died a number cf
years ago. The Prof, immediately
"grabbed the ghost," and Prof. John
son struck a light and rushed for the
cabinet. Meanwhile tho ghost set up a
terrmie screecning, and ner uusbaud
rushed in and was promptly knocked
down and sat upon. The lights were
turned up, and the ghost was found to
be Mrs. Miller in a man's clothes. The
skeptics then ransacked the cabinet and
brought out two armsful of costumes.
"01 this is too bad, " screamed the ghost.

Signs of the Times.
Chicago, March 16. The Right Rev.
Bishop Samuel Fallows, of this city,
preached in the St. Paul Reformed Epis
copal Church here last night upon the
" Signs of the Times. " He said it was a
remarkable fact that the great mass of
intelligent, rar seeing business men,
ipn'tiau., wu. wuimij-w peupie
generally could not or would not read
the signs of the times in their bearing
upon that far more important matter
the second coming of Christ. A great
many of the important events which
have happened in modern times were
foretold, the speaker thought, centuries
ago. He believed the events of to-day
were as pregnant of indications as those
of 1,800 years ago, Tbe present condi
tion of kgypt was, to the preacher, a
sign and an evidence of the coming ful
fillment of the prophecy that Egypt
would oe ruled by the Jews. Me con
sidered the domination of England
equivalent to that, as it would be a con
trol in tbe interests of the Jewish bond
holders. Earthquakes, pestilence, and
famines were prophesied as signs to be
seen before the advent of Christ. The
earthquakes in Italy, the approaching
cholera pestilence, and the famines
which have prevailed in Asia were the
signs to meet these prophecies. It had
been prophesied that iniquity would
abound, and the Bishop thought the full
measure of this prophecy had been ful
filled.

It is amusing to see how tender-footed
certain blood remedy proprietors have
become of late. . They make much ado
about "apes and imitators'' when none
are in sight. - 1 .
The proprietors Of the B. B. B. would
say most emphaticallylthat their remedy
stands upon its own merit. Should we
attempt to imitate, it would not be those
who do not understand tbe modus oper
andi of that which they offer. Our own
long experience in the profession pre
eludes such, an idea.. The field for blood
remedies is large and broad, affording
ample room lor an present aspirants,
We do not desire to close the door
against others, neither shall it be closed
against us. B. B. B. is the quickest
remedy, does not contain mineral or
vegetable poison, does not imitate, and
is in the field as an honorable competitor
for puSlio favor, and its success is with
outa parallel. . .
