BA7ExAs's PEARL OysTERs.-lt may
not be generally known that besides being
Of the finest quality, tie oysters sold by
by Bateman sometSmes carry with them
valuable pearls. A gentleman yesterday,
while partaking Of some of these lus-
cious bivalves, dropped from his mouth a
valuable gem. It proved to be large pearl,
about the size of COW pea, and perfect in
every respect. We learn that one of our
city lapiiarieS says that it is worth $40 or
$50, and is the largest pearl he has ever
seen.
So says the Columbia Carolinian. Oyster
eaters are advised to examine carefully here
after every bivave before swallowing, lest
they miss pearl Of great price.
No NEED OF TaEM-Wc learn from a
gentleman, who has just escaped hole-y
that the commissioners Of
roads, or somebody else, propose putting up
sign boards at the various road-crossings in
the county, 10 direct travellers on their way.
The muddy individual alluded to suggests,
that the mud holes be first filled up, so that
travellers can get about, for otherwise he
thinks there will be no need of signs. In
very short time people will be forced to re-
main at home, and as for any one getting
iost-uniess in some one Of the numerous
dangerous sinks, or Quagmires-there need
be no apprehension; for anything like ex-
tensive travel, such as will take man fur
ther than from his house to his stock lot or
woodplc, will not be done Look 10 the con-
dition of the roads and f II up the holes, COM
missioners, and let the sign bo ards alone for
another time.
