PRESERVE THE BEACH.-Now that
the season of high tides is approach
ing, and the clerk of the weather
having predicted an unusually high
tide with a heavy sea, sometime in
the latter part of December, it is of
interest, not only to owners of prop
erty on the fiat but to all the business
community, to so protect the town as
to leave no chance for another over
flow. Twice has this town been
overAowed through an ignorant in
termeddling with the beach. The
first was many years ago, ard was
caused by putting fume through
the top of the beach to 'rain a pond
or lagoon near Plummer's Point.
The whole fiat at that time was COW
cred with shrubbery, such as crab
apple, raspberry and rose bushes.
The aume not being properly con
structed, was washed away by the
winter storms, and all the vege-
tation destroyed by the salt water.
The next overflow was caused by
allowing Indians and others to re-
move the drift logs from the beach
at Point Hudson, thereby exposing
that portion of the spit to the action
Of the winter storms, which soon
made breach through the sand, and
caused the spit to be covered with
sat water, which was not wholly got
rid of till the present breakwster
was built.
In the formation of ocean beaches
and spits, nature points out the meth
cd, and the true means of keeping
them intact. Wherever drift logs
or brush or tide wrack is thrown
ashore and left by the receding tide,
deposit of sand and gravel soon
collects upon it and, if not disturbed,
will, in a few seasons, be covered
with coarse grass which is at once
protection and barrier against the
approach of the tides. In all the
Atlantic States, but more particularly
in Massachusetts,, the sea beaches are
protected by law, and the removal of
any deposit, whether of sand, gravel,
or drift-stuf which lowers the crown
Of the beach, is considered a misde-
meauor and punished by fine or i'm
prisonment, as being against the pub
lie policy. These remarks are called
forth from our attention having been
directed to the removal Of gravel
from the top of the beach near the
breakwater, which has been hauled
on the hill to grade streets. Thus
far the damage is not perceptible,
nor win it be until the high tides of
December, but If fallowed to continue
may produce serious results. "An
ounce Of prevention is worth pound
of cure" is an old adage, and we re-
spectfully call the attention of the
town trustees to this matter, and urge
on them the enactment of an ordi-
nance that shall prevent any one
from taking ballast or gravel from
near, or above high water mark, or
from removing logs or drift-stuff that
has become imbedded in the sand.
Ifthese precautions are taken, it will
not be many seasons before the
beach at Point Hudson will have be-
come so elevated as to effectually
prevent another overflow.

1t seems that the memory of this woman, like
that of her renowned husband, is likely to be
kept alive to the end of time. She is said to
have possessed very irritable temper, and her
name has become synonym of "yiXen" or
''scold." 1t is more than possible, however, that
the judgment passed upon her by mankind has
been too severe. A more charitable disposition
would undoubtedly have discovered in her,
many good qualities, and have attributed her
failngs more 10 physical nfirmities than to
moral obliquty. The party most intimately ac
qual.lted with her, and therefore best able to
form a correct opinion, gives her credit for
many domestic virtues. 1t is now well known
that many of the diseases to which women are
subject, have a direct tendency to render them
irritable, peevlSh, cross, mOrose, unreasonable
so that they chafe and fret over all those little
HIS and annoyances that person in health
would bear with cOmpOSure. 1t is fair to infer
That most OF the tantrums of Xantppe were due
to these causes alone: and could Socrates, as he
returned from the Senate, the Gymnasium, or
the Atheneum, have stopped at Pestle & Nor
tar's Drug store and carried home bottle of
Or. Plerce's Favorite Prescription, now and
then, no doubt he might have evaded many a
"curtaln lecture" aayed many domestic
broil,' made it much pleasanter for the chill
dren, and more enjoyable for himself, and res
cued his wife's name from the unenviable,
worldwide, and eternal notoriety it has attain
ed. Thousands of women bless the day on
which DIR. Perce's Favorite Prescription was
first made known to them. A single bottle Of
ten gives delicate and suffering women more re-
lief than months of treatment from their family
physician. In all those arrangements causing
backache, dragging-down sensations, nervous
and general debility, it is a sovereign remedy

In a private letter received at this office from
gentleman belonging in this city, and who has
acted as advisor for some of our ice companies
during the winter, writing and telegraphing

from his letter written last Saturday, dated at
Catskill, n. Y.
1T is now showing very fast, but up to yes
terday they were storing ice here-not regular
ly or in large quantities; but improving every
opportunity. From present appearances fear
there will be more ice men "stuck' on the

Of ice could have been sold there at fair figures
but with the large quantities housed, as | learn
there is great doubt of but a part ever reaching

good sales, at renumerating prices. fear the

ed "that the H. Co. had raised their price 100
per Ct, and that their reporter was informed
by them (the Il. Co.. that they had contracted
for ice at a cost in n. y. of eight dollars Il ton
At the same time ice was selling on the kenne-
bee at Sl.50 to 81 10 ton, and the Times was
informed Of that fact but no notice was taken
of it. There's lit looks like III ''greasng of
