Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
RocKFIsH Depot, VA, July 90, 1870
Monday was our County Court. There were
a good many 10 attendance, but very little bust.
ness was transacted. The Grand Jury pre-
scented several persons for violating the Sunday
liquor law.
The public school near this place, taught by
MIR. Il. L. Damron, closed its FIVE month
summer session few days since. The chill
dren passed a very creditable examination, after
which dialogues aud speeches ensued. MIR. Pat
rick Henry CabelI, our County Superintendent
CT Public Schools, delivered a very appropriate
speach, 10 which he euIoeizcd MIR. Damron for
his success 10 having advanced his pupils SO
rapidly. After the speaking was over, the au-
dlence repaired to q grove near the school
house, where a suuptuous repast had been pre-
pared for them by the patrons Of the school, to
which all did ample justice.
Ibe oat harvest has been reaped. The Yield
IS better than was expected, but poor at best.
The corn and tobacco are looking we'll. The
prospect bids fair to give the largest yield of
corn we have had for many years.
We have had no eud 10 the rain for the last
three weeks it has rained nearly every day, and
If 1t continues much longer it will irjure the to.
bacco crop. Strange to say, although we have
had so much rain, the streams have been
swollen but very little, owing, we suppose, to
the fact that most Of the rain came in very hard
showers. which passed off rapidly. There was
some hail in portions of the county 90 Sunday
night, but without serious damage to the crops.

A MEDICAL correspondent of an English jour
nal says that the advantages of asparagus arc
not sufficiently appreciated. Those who suffer
with rheumatism are cured 10 a few days by
feeding on this delicious e%sculent, and more
chronic cases are much relieved, especially if
the patient avoids all acids, whether ia food or
beverage. The Jerusalem artichoke has a simi-
lar effect 10 relieving rheumatism. 1t may be
well to remark thar most plants which grow
naturally near the seacoast contain more or less
iodine, and 10 all rheumatic complaints iodine
has long been a ~favorite remedy. One who
has been in the drug business told the writer
some years ago that many of the popular pa
tent nostrums which some disiutcrcsled people
=" for the good of their fellow creatures -
sold at TWO dollars a bottle, consisted simply OF
q few cents worth of iodine 10 solution. Iodine
is dangerous, however, 10 overdpscs, affecting
especially the eye.

HAWAIIAN BATHERs. An officer of the
u: 5: flagship Pensacola, in a private letter to
friends, describes a visit to Llhamia, in the
Island of Mani, Incidentally mentioning the
scene among the surf bathers. He writes:
The bathers take a board about twelve feet
long, which is brought to a blunt point at one
end, and is made convex on the under side.
After preparing themselves for the water, they
take the board and plunge into the sea. They
watch their opportunity, and as a tremendous
wave approaches they throw themselves on the
board with the pointed end toward the beach,
and as the approaching wave overtakes them
and carries them forward with lightning rapid
ity, they guide the board in an oblique direc-
ton, being just under the curl of the wave,
continuing SO until the wave, having reached
shallow water, buries them beneath it. They
come to the surface immediately, aud, diving
beneath the approaching wave, taking their
board with them, they swim out aud lie wait.
ing for the next roller. 1t was truly laughable
to see ONE of them get caught, as the wave
broke, thei: board going iu Que direction, while
they went in another"

The SEA SERPENT AGAIN.-A passenger on
the steamer Roman Oh her last voyage from
Boston to Philadelphia, sends an account to
the Bulletin Of having seen a large ''sca SER
peut' off Cape Cod on the afternoon of July
II. The monster, he says, was observed by
others who were on bourd, among them being
a oumber OF sea,taring men, and he adds that
1t had been seen some time previously 10 that
nelghborhood, and arrangements we're being
made by the mariners OF Cape Cod for its cap
ture. The passenger says: The creature was
within four hundred yards of the steamer. As
we brought our marine glasses to bear upon
him, a sword fish of medium size rose to the
surface aud advanced to attack the object of
our curiosity. When the sword fish first at.
tackled hun he reared his head at least ten feet
above the water, and then dove down once
more. These actions he kept repeating so that
We had a ine opportunity to scrutinizr him.
His head was rather fiat, and closely resembled
that OF a turtle. The flu we first observed Was
on the back, several feet from the head, while
small hns protruded on each side. The body
was at least eight inches 10 diameter, and pre-
sented a Shiny surface, covered with large and
coarse scales. When he reared his head the
water seemed to fairly boil as be rapidly Glove
his way through the waves, so that by far the
largest portion of his body must have been no.
der the water. We estimated his length to be
at least sixty feet, but the pilot informed us
that a few weeks previous he rose alongside of
the steamer Roman, and they reported him to
be l20 feet long"
