Free Hydyants. communication to
the City Council from DIR. Cabell, the pres
ident of the board of health, it is suggested
that Sin place of the rigid economy and
yexatlous surveillance now exercised over
the use of the hydrants judicious policy
would dictate the furnishing of full sup
ply of water and the encouragement of a
liberal use of it. We recommend the es.
tablishment of free hydrants in those parts
| OF the city occupied by the poorer classes.'
Petersburg has been so fortunate as to
be presented with three pumps, to be
erected at the expense of the city, and the
papers there have naturally been congratu-
lating themselves upon the prospect of i'm
pr0vement and increase in the supply of
water. Cleanliness being one of the great
est preventatives of the diseases which
generally, during the heat of summer, iu-
fest densly populated localities, as mere
sanitary measure of general utility and ad-
vantage, the matter is worthy of the con-
sideration of the councilmen.
We hope, ere long, to see the suggestion
from the Board of Health acted upon, and
the poor of our city rejoicing in the free
and unrestricted use of a full supply of
water.
The rules now in force are onerous in the
extreme, in the case of many families being
positively prohibitary in their character.
No city can make mistake on the liberal
side Of any question affecting the humber
portion of its population. Free hydrants,
conveniently located for the use of the
people, would be a blessing of untold
value, and the diminution of the receipts
for water so slight as to be scarcely worthy
of consideration.

The Roanoke Tmes.-We have received
the Roanoke Times, published at Salem,
Roanoke county, Virginia, John A. Nc
Caull, Esq, editor and proprietor. The
Times makes its appearance in an entire
new dress, and considerably enlarged, but,
like the Charlottesville Chronicle, is rather
egostistical, and claims for itself that to
which it is not entitled. Both of them de-
clare they publish the largest, best, and
cheapest paper in the State. There must
be some mistake, as both statements cannot
be true; besides, the WEEKLY STATE
JOURNAL contains fifty per cent. more
reading matter than either of them, and is
furnished to clubs at one dollar per annum.
McCaull and Foster will both say the merit
OF their papers is in the quality, and not
the quantity, of their reading matter.
The Times is a handsome sheet, and is
well worth the price asked for it, as any
Democratic sheet possibly can be. McCauil
has infused a new life into it, and, although
we are satisfied he cannot afford to publish
a Journal Of its size and character in Salem.
we hope it will live, and succeed in stirring
the enterprise and wealth of Roanoke,
which have, for so long a time, laid dormant.
The Times has, already photographed at It's
head, the completion of the Valley railroad,
and locates its junction with the Virginia
and Tennessee, at Salem. This was impol-
itic in Nc, for his paper will become UNI
popular with those at the Lick and Cave
Spring. Already have we heard that both
places are ready to unite with the Republi-
can party, provided, its candidate for the
Legislature will agree to oppose the Valley
railroad.
We know the Republicans of Roanoke
too well to believe them willing to undo the
good work they performed by voting for
the subscription of the county to the Valley
road. Salem may take courage from this
statement, but will find noneIn the opinion
that Roanoke cannot again afford to send
Democrat to the Legislature, neither will
she do it. No one knows the fact better
than the editor of the Times, whose ambi-
ton we feel sure is not yet satisfied but
who possesses shrewdness sufficient to keep
him from attempting to return next fall.
We welcome the Times to our exchange
list, and hope its manager will succeed in
bringing to light the dollars of many of the
wealthy men of the county, who for SO
long have boarded them against the in
terests and prosperity of community and
country, among the fairest of Gods crea-
ton. Go on Nc. in the good work you
have commenced, but be gentle with the
Republicans of your county, as ''you know
how it Is, you've been there yourself"

The Child at Church.
tErum tho Now York Standard

From tho Now York Standard.
rTow to make Sunday pleasant day to tho
children is the question that troubles many q
parent, who, having dismal recolections Of tho
manner in which, when child, he was obig-
ed to pass his Sundays, is broad'minded aud
loviug.hear,Od enough to want to improve on
that plan. The service that edt!es the adult
is not the service that interests the child
Besides this, in nine cases out Of ten, among
respectable aud religious families, tho child,
is regular attendant upon Sunday school,
and has had an hour and a half 8 serious en-.
ploymcut before church service begins. How
many grown people would enjoy passing an
equal length Of time in church? We ask of
the children more than We ourselves are will
ling OF comfortably able to give. The adult
thinks ho has done creditably if he reaches
his pew before the first prayer, aud wakes up
from suug and surrcptitous s!nmbers ia timc
to hear the last "head;" but tho wretchCd in-
!unt, who must be in his class by nine or o
quarter past who repairs thence to church,
aud who is expected to pay enough attention
to remember tho text and the principal points

Indian Summer.

That short, delicious season between the
frosts of October and tho leo of late NovCul.
bcr, is feature peculiar to the climate oE ouE
country, and was noticed by the carly settlers
OF New England, in letters written to their
friends at home. They were charmed by the
strange, gorgeous beauty OF tho American
forests, when the trees seemed shrOuded in
trailing banners dyed in tho guEics Of Iris,
that ushered in that delightful staaOn ofwarm,
balmy air, which seemed to bless all nature
with soothing dreaminos5 aud reposc after
the labor of producing aud garnering carth'3
treasures had ceased It is c season when
tho storms Of the aGtpmnal equinox arc over,
and sometimes two CT three weeks of unin-
tOrruptcd lino weather give quiet delight be-
fore the bitter cold and the rough blasts Of
Winter como on,
This ID the season which the Indians in tho
middle regious the continent looked forward
to With pleasure for during its continuance
they gathered in their Winter store Of fully
ripcncl maizc (Which we call Indian corn,
and thei. chief supply Of fCsh for use III the
dveaTy rIonths Of deep snow. Then the akcs,
small aud great, are placid. Sometimes for
days aot a wavelet appears upon their bosoms,
aud navigation over long distances in bark
canoes was and is perfectly safe.
The savuges regarded this seasoa ca a gift
Ct ono Of their most honOred dcitiCs-the
south west wind pcrsOnit;et-to whose sunny
and fruitful land these moro nosticrly tribes
believed their souls would 60 alter DEATH
This Sas the Indians real harvcs,.timc, and
for that reason the early settlers called it the
Indians Sumner.
Decay is slow combustion. With this fact
in hand, philosophers have pIauSibly accounted
for the warmth lthe Indian Summer TINS on
the borders Of Winter by assuming that tho
heat th9n evolved in the process OF the decay
Of the forest leaves and other vegetation is
produced by that decay.
In Europe corresponding recurrence of
Summer weather in late autumn is styled St.
