GNeER.-The tendency of individuals af-
fected by the extreme heat OF the present
time is to an excessive indulgence in cold
drinks without much reference to the guam
tity or quality of the fluid they imbibe. So
long as they can take a cold drink, major
ity of the people care very little what they
drink, although physicians and sensible peo-
pie are aware that many people are annually
killed by too frequent or injudiclous use OF
cooling beverages during the heated term
For the benefit of our readers, we recently
applied to an eminent physician for an opln-
ion on the subject and prescription that
would most readily meet the requirements OF
thirsty people during the warm weather.
The doctors sudden and emphatic ejacula-
ton of Ginger !" relieved us from the APP
prehension that he was about to enter upon
a lengthy dissertation on the subject OF
death from an overdose of ice-water, end
ing with prescription combining dozen
or more drugs, to be taken as a substitute
for the popular cooling draughts. Ginger"
said the doctor, 81 consider the very best ar
ticle, most easily procured, and least expen-
sive for all persons to employ. By its proper
use they may have cold water in abundance,
and at the same time avoid most if not all
the i'll effects produced by the cooling abom-
nations great many people pour uoWh
their threats this hot weather" ''Tell your
readers" continued the physician, "to buya
few ounces of powdered ginger, and every
time they are thirsty let them mix half
in the cold water they desire to
drink. If a spoonful of sugar or molasses is
added it will do no harm. EXTRACT OF
ginger" may also be employed by those who
prefer the article in fluid form. A bottle
of the extract should should be placed near
the ice-pitcher or cooler, aud when people
drink let them pour teaspoonful of the ex-
tract in their tumbler, before filling it with
water. For my use," said the doctor, " 1
prefer the powdered article, because believe
it acts more benefcially. In the West Indies
this root is considered one of the best pre-
ventives for the Summer complaints of the
tropics, when it is properly used, and is not
abused."-M 7. Sun.

The POWER OF A Growing TREE
Walton Hall had at one time it's own corn
mill, and when that inconvenient necessity
no longer existed, the milestone was laid in
an orchard and forgotten. The diameter of
this circular stone measured 81 feet, while its
depth averaged seven inches throughout, its
central had a diameter of eleven inches. By
mere accident some bird or squirrel had
dropped the fruit of the flbert tree through
TINS hole on to the earth, and in 1912 the
securing was seen rising up through the I'M
wonted channel. AS its trunk GRADUALLY
grew through this aperture and increased, its
power to raise the ponderous mass of stone
was speculated on by many Would the
hlbert tree die in the attempt2 Would if
burst the milestone or would it lift it? In
the end the little f1lbert tree lifted the mill
stone, and N 1868 wore it like crinoline
around its trunk, and Mr.. Waterton used to
sit upon it under the branching shade.-En-

The Richmond Court of Hastings has re-
piled in high toned Virginia manner to
General schofeld's inquiry by what rule of
law they sentenced q school teacher to fine
of $3.50 and Imprisonment for thirty days,
for Furnishing a boy who disturbed the
school, while the elder brother of the boy,
who committed an aggravated assault on the
teacher was dismissed with penalty of one
cent. They reply that there never was
time when Virginia Court would convict a
Virginian for assaulting teacher for punish
ing boy and we suppose they mean also
that there never was time when a Virginia
Court would not fine and imprison North
ern teacher for Furnishing son of Virginia.
That is the Virginia mode of getting back
what they pay the teacher, with interest 1t
is likely that General Schofeld will give
that Court a lesson in the administration of
Justice Cincinnati Gazette.
Yes, and how long will the lesson last 3
If Virginia should go back to the Union
rebel-end foremost, Virginia will then do as
she pleases. She will give "mean white
Union men" niggers" and "yankees" just
what she thinks they deserve. Virginia will
do it. That she will.

EXPERIMENTS IN THE PROPAGATION OF
SHAD now being made at Holyoke, Mass,
are attracting considera BILE attention from
the lovers of pisaculture. The experiment.
alist according to the Rochester Union,
takes the spawn of from fifty to one hun
dred and twenty shad every night. Each
shad produces about one hundred thousand
eggs. He has succeeded in Matching ninety
per cent of the spawn. From one hundred
shad handled each night, he brings out nine
millions OF little shad. He states that the
egg shows the form of the fish in twelve
hours, shows life in thirty-three hours, and
is Matched in fifty hours, in water at tenn
perature of rs Degrees At this rate of
multiplication all our rivers may be stocked
with valuable fish in a short time and at
comparatively little expense. There seems
to lie no doubt of the success of the expert
ment.

TURTLES The Norfolk journal states
that crew which had spent three weeks in
catching turtle in the waters of the Chicka-
hominy and Appomatox, arrived there on
Friday, after catching sixty, and then says :
Their first sale of three hundred and eigh-
ty-two pounds only brought seven dollars
and eighty-two cents, and they only realized
ten dollars for all sold of the sixty, unless in
thanks for which four or five were exchang-
eel. These turtles averaged from 10 to 2stbs
each, and in Northern market would have
been snapped at greedily, but here, where
people willingly pay Csc. per pound for
choice steaks, &c. per pound was disregard
ed for material for turtle-soup, hitherto es-
teemed as a great luxury.n

Tennessee.

We have all been looking with much in
terest for the news from the election in Ten
nessee. Our copy of the Sentinel contains
the following dispatch:
MEMPHIS, Aug. 1, 4, P. M.
so far the election has progressed quietly,
and there is no fear of disturbance. Moth
ing as to the result can be learned"
We were told in advance that Brown
low and his minions" were going to carry
the election by the bayonet, and "kill" or
"mark" all the disunionists. The most
bloody visions loated in the imaginations of
the leading disunionists. But 10, the cleo
ton is nearly over i'll that hotbed of treason,
Memphis, and "there is no fear of distur-
bance" No one has been shot, or marked,
or killed. What wonderl
Then, " nothing as to the result can be learn
ed" That means that the Brownlow patri-
OTIS have carried the State. Mr. Gobright has
long face. Mr. Gobright is in distress. Mr..
Gobright can hear nothing as to the result"
Unhappy Gobright.
We take it for granted the Republicans
have carried Tennessee by large majority.
This insures the continuance of peace and
prosperity in that State. 1t would have
been an awful calamity to every good citizen
in that State if it had been carried by the
disunionists. In that case, in less than six
months white Union men and colored men
would have been shot like rabbits or hanged
like dogs. The scenes at Memphis and
Franklin would have been re-enacted in
every part of the State. The account we
publish to-day of the conduct of the Regu-
lators in Kentucky, shows what would be
the fate of the people of Tennessee and
North Carolina, if they should unfortunately
pass permanently into rebel hands. 1t is
written that an "angel flying through the
midst of heaven" cried with loud voice,
"Wo, wo, wo, to the inhabiters of the earth,
by reason of the other voices of the trumpet
of the three angels, which are yet to sound"
We might not hear that warning angel, but
we would see and feel the awful consequent
ces of unblidled rebel rule. From such fate
may a merciful God deliver our people

SOuth-CarOIina.

It appears that w. J. Armstrong, Esq, of
Washington City, and j. Q. Thompson, Esq,
Reporter for the New York Herald, were
murderously assaulted on the night of the
goth, in Columbia, S. S., in the Nlckerson
House, on account of their participation in
the Republican Convention. Both gentle
men made speeches before the Convention.
No words passed between the parties before
the assault, and not shadow of provoca-
ton was given. Two of the assailants are
of our first families, and are violent Rebels.
No fatal injuries were sustained by the par
ties assailed. Gov. Orr was present during
the last of the riot, and advised peace by
urging the assailed to retire to their rooms.
Radcliffe, the most prominent assailant, is a
brother of the Chief of Police. The rioters
were boisterous till near midnight, when
they were arrested and Immediately liberia
ted on bail Gen. Burton, Post Comman-
dant. was appealed to this morning. He
has the rioters now under military arrest
The civil authorities. are pleading for the
prisoners and promising that they shall be
punished. The colored people are in high
state of excitement. The best and most
peaceably disposed citizens profess to de-
plore the affair.
Such is the account given in the telegram.
OF course " the best and most peaceably dis
posed citizens deplore' the occurrence. Yet
they sanction and stimulate the very spirit
that leads to these outrages.
Mr.. Armstrong is opposed to coniscation
and argues against it in all his speeches. Yet
he gets no thanks for it.
1t seems that civil officer in Columbia
refused the proper protection to these gen
tlemen thus outraged, whereupon General
Sickles removed him. This was well enough
But it is like stopping one leak, while hun
dreds of other leaks are sinking the vessel.

gor the Standard,

MEssRs. ED1ToRs-Believing you take an
interest in the Republican party, and with
view to show our Republican brethren
throughout the country that we are not un-
mindful of our duty in this County, we have
thought 1t would not be out of place to
communicate the information, that we have
formed Union Republican Club in the
town of Plymouth, with Samuel Virgins,
President; Moses W. Wynn and Theophilus
Ash, Vice Presidents; Frank James, secre-
tary; John G. Guyther Treasurer; Willis
johnson, Frank Fessenden, Miles Howcott,
George Norcom and Wilson Cherry, Execu-
tive Committee.
Our list of members is increasing rapidly,
and we hope and intend to make this Club
an important auxiliary in adding strength
and efficiency to the party, and in rolling up
a tremendous majority for the success OF the
grand Republican party in coming elections.
If you deem this worthy of insertion In
your valuable journal, you can insert it, with
a request that the Newborn Republican and
other papers friendly to the cause, copy the
same. Very respectfully,

CANNING FRUITs.-As the season of fruits

fruit was furnished at the New York Farm
ers club by Mr.. Powers of Oswego county,
New York:
"Iwill suppose your fruit and glass cans
all ready. prefer cans with glass covers
scald the fruit in q large tin pan with juice
or water to cover it. Put half a tea cup of
cold water into every can, and fill up with
hot water. Put the covers and rubDers also
hot water. Now empty can and fill up
with hot fruit, and then another. Let them
stand open till the hand can be held upon
them without burning AS soon as filled
cut writing paper the size of the can, one
for each. and when cool slip one over the
fruit entirely, and fill up the can on the top
of the paper with boiling juice, and seal at
once. Ladies, try this way; the fruit will
never mould, and keep any time, if you
don't eat it. The papers keep the fruit from
rising to the top of the liquid. There is no
use of setting cans into water to heat them,
or of putting them into quilted bags; it is
too troublesome. let the fruit shrink, and
then fill up to the cover as close as pos
sible.

A False Report Corrected.

We learn from friend at Asheville that a
person of distinction, who has recently Wis
tied Raleigh and returned to that place, has
started the report that 'serious split has
taken place in the Republican party in Ra-
leigh-that Messrs Pool, Moore, Settle and
Others, had broken off from the party and
declared they did not belong to it, &c.
1t is hardly necessary to say that there is
no foundation for this report. If Mr.. Moore
has given in his adhesion to the Republican
party, or if he belongs to it, we do not
know 1t. We should be glad to have his aid
as member of the party. But there are no
binder Republicans in the State than Mr..
4Dol and Mr.. Settle They are both men,
bers of the Republican State Committee
and will both doubtless be present at the
September Convention
The person referred to should be careful
how he scatters reports. He is known to
be thoroughly rebellious, however, and what
he may say against Republicans will be ia
ken with many grains of allowance.
There is no split, and there will be none in
the Republican party in this State. The
Convention of the 4th September will be
harmonious body. We know of no disposition
among Republicans to foment discord and
strife in the party; but if there should be,
those attempting it will be instantly blasted
by the indignation of the loyal masses. The
State must be restored to the Union before
this time next year. The Republican party
can alone do this work 1t is going to do 1t.

Sheridan is already a favorite with millions
