Oyster.breeding In China.

Like so many peculiar things in the
Celestial Empire, the system of breed
ing the above named bivalve differs
widely from that pursued in Europe or
America In the Southern parts OF
China collectors" of bamboo are
placed in the oyster-beds, much after
the same fashion as the elaborate tiles
and s'hives'' employed in France. These
oyster r-catchors are, however, prepared
in curious manner. The canes are
exposed for about two months to the
rays of the sun, and then placed for .
similar period in salt water, after which
they a e again dried for several days,
the object being to preserve them from
decay and prevent the twisting or warp
ing of the bamboo. Notches are then
cut in the canes, into which empty oys-
ter shells are fixed, like SO many cups,
and thus prepared they are driven into
the seashore between high and low
water mark, and left standing to catch
the young spat. Those localities ara
considered the best where the rise and
fall of the tide is the greatest, so that
the bivalves may be alternately covered
by the flood and exposed to the air on
the ebb. There the young oysters
thrive we'll and develop rapidly, and.
are quite ready for the market when
they are two years old. A large trade
is carried on by the persons who pur-
sue the calling, and who have many
thousands OF these collectors planted in
favorable situations, and some success
full breeders have been known to realize
large fortunes. In China, large quanti-
ties of the oyster are dried instead OF
being eaten in fresh state. For that
purpose they are taken from the shells,
simply plunged into boiling water, and
then removed at once, after which pro-
cess they are exposed to the rays OF the
sun until every particle OF moisture has
evaporated. In that state they will keep
for a length OF time, and are said to pre-
serve all the delicacy cf their flavor
| The finest and fattest bivalves, bred and
fed on the leaves and cuttings of tn
bamboo, are selected for preparation b.
! that method, those taken from th'
natural beds being inferior in quality
and not sufficiently plump to stand tn

Fatal Result of a Scuffle for a Water.
melon.

Our community was shocked Satur-
day morning by the information~tha
Samuel C. Field OF Woodford, had met
a violent and untimely death last Fri
day night by the accidental discharge
of pistol. The circumstances of his
death are we'll known to the majority of
our citizens, and are as follows: Mr..
Field, in company with Mr.. Bailey, the
Town Marshal, and several other gentle
men, were sitting on the steps of the
Courthouse engaged in general CONVEX
sation and eating watermelon. Mr..
Field. while sitting in q reflective mood,
with his face buried in his hands, paid
little or no attention to the subject of
the conversation around him. He SEEM
ed very melancholy, and it is sale, more
than once expressed to his friends that
he had had presentiment that some
unforeseen accident would happen to
him.
All at once a general scuffle ensued
among all the gentlemen present except
Mr.. Field, who retained his position on
the steps. During the struggle for the
possession of the watermelon, pistol
"a large navy-dropped from the hol-
ster of Mr.. Bailey, and, striking on the
steps with the hammer, was discharged.
A silence of about half minute ensued,
when some one of the gentlemen pres
ent said, "That pistol hurt somebody"
and then some one else cried: ''Great
God! Sam is killed. An examination
discovered that Mr.. Field was killed,
The ball from the pistol passed through
the two first fingers of his right hand
it will be remembered that he was sit
ting with his face buried in his hands
burning his foreinger slightly and en-
tering his neck, passing through his
mouth, cutting out the end of his
tongue, and coming out at the base of
the brain. Death must have been in
stantaneous, as Mr.. Field neither spoke
nor moved after he was shot.
The grief of Mr.. Bailey at the unfor-
tunate circumstance was indescribable.
Mr.. Field was one of his dearest and
most intimate friends, and it was with
difficulty that the friends and family OF
Mr.. Bailey could assuage his excitement
so far as to bring him into q calmer
frame of mind. Mr.. Bailey has great
sympathy in this unforeseen accident
