The Water Question.

We regret to say that the water has
again failed, and patrons have been
on the most meagre allowance since
Tuesday last. This, and repeated
failures of like nature, suggest the
query, Is there no relief? We know
of but one answer. and that is for
the town to purchase the existing
means of supply or construct facili-
ties Of it's own. We know of no OBJ
ject for which the people would
more willingly pay a special tax than
for an ample supply of this impor-
tant essential of life. As the COM
pany has no franchise, the pumps,
reservoir and pipes should command
. price no higher than their actua.
worth (not cest, for they have seen
many years OF servics), and the pro-
prietors would doubtless consent to
sell at suoh an offer, for they have
been, according to their own story,
losing money on the investment ever
since it WAS made. If they decline
to sell. the price Of wood or iron
pipe is now 70 low that new works
could be constructed ct . sum which
would place the annual tax ct q
much lower amount than the yearly
water rates. The suggestion il made

From about the locality of Sixth
street to the waterfront, Main street
is a splendid thoroughfare, and has
often elected the praise and admira-
ton Of some of our less-favured down
Sound neighbors. From the upper
most point mentioned, however, the
street evidently needs a radical re-
construction. The tests that have
been brought to bear upon it by the
late rains, and the increased travel
Incident to Fair week, and the effects
thus produced, almost warrants, we
think, tho anathemas that have been
showered upon it. The temporary
repairs that were made were very
we'll in their way, and might have
been sufficient for short time had
it not been for the rain, but in many
places the road is in a worse condi-
ton than before. The patches of
gravel that were dropped upon
sunken planks to fill up the hollows,
proved of no account whatever; the
gravel having entirely washed away
or settled through the cracks, while
the planking is all afoat and emil
nently fitted for breaking the legs Of
horses or catching the wheels of
vehicles and overturning them. Had
~ HUUnken plxnks been raised and
deposited beneath them,
] pIsS@S which were recently mend
ed would have been good now.
Whoever ordered the gravel to be
dumped" upon the planks most as
suredly lacks the first principles Of
Typographical engineering. He GER
tainly dM not take his lessons from
Capt. Eads.
But how shall the street be re-
paired is the question. Two little
words will answer the vexed ques-
tion-gravel it. That is, pull up all
the planks and gravel the road as
the lower part Of Main street was
graveled several years ago. This
measure faithfully put into execution.
would, in our opinion, secure a sub
stantial footing for horses and solid
causeway for the heaviest loads. The
gravel with which to do this lies
waiting for removal along our water
front, aid there are plenty Of idle
men around town who would gladly
bs employed to enter into the work.
One thing is certain the present
condition Of the road will not suffice
for the Winter.

Our Railroad Prospects.

The present prospects of our local
railroad are not SO bright as we have
hitherto been led to believe. A few
months ago we stated, on informa.
ton received from a high official
source, that the expenses of op-
Grafton of the road were only $12 pc,
day while the average income was
upwards of $40. This is far from
the truth. A close calculation
places the expenditures for salaries,
labor. taxes, etc., at nearly $50 pei
day, and the average revenue falls
considerable less than $40. The
labor expense is not likely to be any
less for q year, at least, as the pres
emit force on the road-bed must be
maintained, and retrenchment has
already cut of ell the minor perqui.
sites on the locomotive and train.
What il to be done to make the en-.
terprise self-sustainingl This is the
query doubtless the directors would
like to have answered and in which
the stockholders will soon. If they
do not now, possess . vital interest.
One way. We humbly suggest. is by
increasing the traffic Of the road.
This may Be done by lower mates and
clossr attention TO the details Of bus.
linen. The policy Of the company
should Be to popularise the use Of
the road, both for travel and for the
transportation Of freight. and hence

properly CULTIVATED and clean. there
will be roots enough 20 cover the
whole space between the sets in the
spring. Strawberries viii i've and
thrive when many other plants would
dry up and die. This is owing to
the fact tina; the broad leaves Of vig-
oroas plants shade the ground from
the rays of the sun, and thus retain,
from day to day. the moisture fur
ni>hed by the dew. So imporiantis if
that the soil be kept loose. in q state
II uniform poros;ty about the plants
and even between the rows, that this
work should almost mouopolize the
whole time expended upon the patch
by an industrious and skillful gar
dener. In tropical countries where
the dry season continues through q
large portion of the year. the inhab-
itants well know that the pulverizing
and re-pulverizing Of the soil is an
absolutely vital element in the cult
walton of all annual plants, as we'll
az the smaller trees and shrubs. The
fact that fine sponge, having been
wetted and squeezed. will remain
damp much longer than coarse one
similarly treated, Familiarity illus
trates the principle in question. The
next most important thing is to keep
the intermediate spaces, and the
hills themselves, wholly free from
weeds. Hoeing down tho weeds at
the same time loosens the soil, and
thus u two-fold advantage is the re-
suit. The vines should be kept free
from runners. Every vigorous rum
ner in strawberry-patch is spend
thrift, and should be summarily
treated as tramp.
BY faithfully pursuing the course
we have pointed out, barren straw
berry plants, may be reduced to q
small minority; and by planting sew
eral varieties in the same patch, we
believe barren plants would be un-
known. Each kind, however should
be rel, by itself; allowing no two va
.rieties to be nearer each. other than

The annual session of the Grand
Lodge Of the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows of the United States
met in Baltimore, the headquarters
of the Order, on the l6th ult. Al
the session held . year ago, il Vas
resolved that the late session should
be held in Austin, Texas, but the
prevalence Of yellow fever in the
South, and the consequent diniculf-
ties and dangers Of travel, led the
Grand Officers to change the place
Of meeting to the original location
Baltimore. The Grand Lodge con-
SISTED Of TAG representatives, nine
GraDd Officers and the ten Past
Grand Sire-, making a total of los
members. Of which number $50 we're
in attendance.
The repor; of the Grand Sire sub
mlti.si t. the Lodge shows that ~hile
the annual returns indicates an increase
Of lodges ami eneainpments, and the
amount paid for relief, over last
wear, they exhibit for the first time
since 1868, O decrease OF member
ship and revenue The number OF
Grand Lodges is IS and subordinate
lodges 6, ST, an increase Of the lat
ter of 1873. The Grand Encamp-
ments number 80 and subordinate
encampuents l .S35. an increase Of
80 for the latter. The lodge inita-
tons have been 80 1857, decrease A.

crease 1883; encsmpment members
81, 7s7. increase 2,99S. The total
relief expended has been 81, 7o5, 26G,
and increase of S15, 7Sl the total reve-
nue. aggregates 81, ABB, o5l, decrease
s66, $50.
The report of the Grand Treasurer
gives the total receipts for the pres
ent year ending Aug. 81, at $50, 633,
including cash balance of $23, Ala,
in the Treasury at the end of the
previous fiscal year. The disburse-
ments have been s41,992. The
available cash assets of the Grand
Lodge are, cash SIC, 661, U. S. $500
bonds So, 900, total of $18,G61.
The Grand Sire declares that
the experiment of chartering and in
stituting lodges for the express pur-
pose OF confering the Rebekah De-
gree detracts from the character and
standing Of the order. He is salts
fed from the workings of the system
that it's value and usefulness would
he greatly enhanced by placingit en-
tirely under the control of the sub
ordinate lodges, which would at spe-
cial or convenient times take occa-
sion to confer it upon all entitled TO
receive it.
The report. which is brief, closes
with reference to the yellow fever
scourge, recommending liberal con-
tributions, and to the death of men,
bers of the Order since the last an
nual session.
