A ScoTcHMAN's SERMON ON MoDERATIoN.-A
Scotch parson once preached long sermon against
drinking vice prevalent in his parish, from
which, report said, he was not free himself
Whatever ye do, do it with moderation, and
above all be moderate in dram-drinking. When
ye get up indeed, ye may take dram, and anthcr
just before breakfast, and perhaps anther after;
but dinna be always dram drinking. If ye arc out
in the morn, you may just brace yourself up with
anither dram, and perhaps take anither before
luncheon, and some, fear, take one after, which
is not so very blamable, but dinna be always dram
dramming away.
Naebody can scruple for one just before dinner.
and when the desert is brought in, an after it's
ia en- away; and perhaps one, or it may be two, in
the course of the afternoon, just to keep ye from
drowsying or snozzling, but dinna be always dram
dramming Afore tea, and after tea, and between
tea and supper, is no more than right and good;
but let me caution ye brethren, not to be always
dramdramming. Just when ye start for bed, and
when yere ready to pop into'r, to take dram or
twa is no more than Christian may lawfully do,
but brethren let caution you not to drink more
than i've mentioned may be we may pass the
bounds of moderation.

THE SHAD TRADE-The Washington On, CO.
Dispatch says it is not generally known abroad that
a number of Northern vessels are annually engaged
in the shad trade from the eastern Sounds OF this
State, to the Northern cities Usually in the
month of January of each year, if the weather is
mild enough to anticipate an early run OF shad, the
fishermen congregate from different sections, and
literally ll the waters of upper Pamlico, Croatan
and the lower part of Albemarle Sounds, with their
nets, in order to take the shad soon after they
enter our inlets. They are considered far better
then than at any other time. In few days fleets of
vessels from Boston, Providence. New. York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, ballasted with ice,
are seen casting anchor in the fishing grounds.
There they remain until their loads of shad are
completed, when they put off inquick haste for the
Northern markets, to dispose Of their cargoes at
high prices In many instances it is a capital
business, and many of those vessels in good
fishing season are able to make more than one
voyage In late years owing to the scarsty of shad
the business has been declining, thus cutting off
from our fishermen an important source of trade,

THE TITLE OF "MR"-The title of Mr.. is
something to be proud of nowadays, in contra
distinction of Esquire or Hon. In old times it
was equally mark of responsibility, as will be
seen by the following extract from Old Colony Re
cord, Sept. 27, 1881:
at is ordered that Josias Plastowe shall (for
stealing Buckets of corn from the Indians) re-
turn them Buckets again, be fined 5s. and here
after to be called by the name Of Josias, and not
Mr.. as formerly he used to be- and that William
Buckland and Thos. Andrews, will be whipped for
being accessory to the same offence"

THE WILD AFRIcANs.-The Columbus GA
"Times" gives the recently imported Africans a
different character from what has been generally
ascribed to them by most papers. 1t says:
"They are in every respect like the negroes who
wait on cur table, and understand readily by a
gesture what they fail to comprehend by words
They are adopts at learning Those who purchased
them are well satisfied with their bargains, and
think the negroes harder, stronger, better suited
to labor capable of enduring more, standing the
heat, more docile, and, upon the whole, better
plantation negroes than the little rice negroes O

Virginia -. .g..

TRADE OF THE North CoUNIIEs.-The trade
of our North Eastern Counties is much larger than
most persons in the State imagine; showing the
great importance of the completion Of the Chesa-
peake and Albemarle Canal, and the injury done
to that section by the failure of the last Legislature
to pass the bill for its relief AS one slight
indication of the immense trade of that section,
the fact that during the week ending the 18th ult.
forty-our vessels arrived at the port of Elizabeth
City, all connected with the inland trade OF those
Counties with Norfolk, Baltimore and Philadelphia
Many of them it is true are small, but perhaps
they would average 400 barrels at load. The corn
wheat peas sweet potatoes cotton, slaves, shingles
lumber, beeswax, honey and scuppernong wine of
that section in large quantity, thus go to swell the
trade of other States and to be enumerated as the
products and exports of Virginia, &c. Several
of these vessels engaged in the shad trade.

FATAL MIsTAKE-The Vineennes 0ndiana)
Gazette says: "Mrs Riley of Martin county, died
on Friday of last week under peculiar circum-
stances. Feeling unwell she concluded to take a
Seidlitz POWDER mixed the two ingredients in differ
ent glasses as usual, but instead of pouring them
together before drinking, she drank one and then
the o-her. The e1eryescence following in her
stomach nearly strangled her. A dose of mus
ta1d was given to vomit her, and doctor sent for
at once but she was dead before he arrived She
was in delicate health having had several attacks
of lung bleeding during the past year.
