announcement that the Roumelian. Euro.

their opinion that Il was impossi Sic to ex.

but that such announcement would prob.

some days. As far back as the middle OF
this month It was apparent that the Bull.

Roumelian delegates on their part were
impressed with the belief that the Bulga.

upon the Roumelian question being dis.

HEAvY.-The papers are beginning TO
howl, as the people have long done, at the
frequency with which criminal suits are
removed" or postponed" or "contin-
ued." The Hickory Press mentions a case
in which the witnesses, 80 or 4O IN NUMBER,
had to make three or four different trips TO
court Ia two days Journey at great expense
and loss of time. The Charlotte Observer
says of the recent Pethel murder case
(prisoner finally acquitted:)-
"The cost of this case was very heavy.
The bill has not yet been made out by the
clerk and solicitor, but it is estimated oy
them at fully 81, 500. Having been twice
removed from one county to another, nrst
from Rowan to Iredell, thence to Mecklen-
burg, and held over from one term here,
and there being a large number OF wit
nesses, the cost rapidly ran up until now lt
is a heavy burden to Rowan county, whlch
will have it to pay. Add to the above the
attorneys fees, and the sum will run to
So. 900 or more
And here is a similar costly specimen
from the Chatham Record.:-
Twelve months ago a negro IN tins place
named Ned Gusts, was arrested and bound
over to court charged with maliciously in
juring a valuable horse of David Turner,
ESQ. At the fall term of our court his trial
was removed, upon his affidavit to Guilford
county, where in December the case would
be tried, but was continued on account OF
some defect in the transcript of the case.
The witnesses again went to Greensboro to
have the case tried in March, but the trans
cript not having been corrected, another
continuance was granted. Last week the
witnesses again went to Greensboro, the
case having been previously set for trial on
Thursday, but on account of the absence of
important witnesses for the prosecution,
the case was again continued, Thus, three
times hare the defendant and q crOwd Of
witnesses taken a long journey to Greensboro
for nothing, and the worst of it is that a
tremendous bill of costs is accommodating
which the tax payers Of Chatham will have
to pay.

Lines are preferable to lemons, and they
are cheaper in proportion to the amount Of
acid they contain. Lime juice can be lad
at all tines, and it bic fair to supersede
other summer drinks in Britain. The Mon
treal Witness shows how extensively it is
used there
'Lime juice bids fair to do the work O: a
dozen temperance advocates. In England,
which is not a very hot country, it is, we
are Informed, both privately and through
the newspapers, largely superseding the use
of alcoholic liquors. 1t is the first rea lily
desirable and elegant non-alcoholic dinner
table beverage that has yet been prepared.
A. very small quantity of it, sweetened to
taste in a tumbler of water, makes a most
delightful summer drink, and except for
the sugar, which many do not use, a very
inexpensive one indeed. The London Lam
Get says the demand for lime Juice is so
great that the publicans have to keep it,
although they would very much prefer not
to, and accuse it of doing all sorts of mis-
chief to the human frame. How strangely
interested they seem suddenly to have be-
come in the veal of the human frame! And
it has, we learn, equally established its
place on gentlemen's tables, those who have
been accustomed to use wine freely con-
suming it in large quantities. 1t is popu-
ioiiy SASbAISu III OSlhS al DSOlutC SDtC-
ifc for rheumatism and gout, as well as for
a variety of cutaneous diseases popularity
known under the general Eame of %scurve.
Many chemically troubled with the first
class of disorders find their general health
unqueStionably better since they began to
use this instead of wine. The Lancet,
while it does not question the common
opinion of its virtues. derides the interested
objections of the liquor-sellers, and advise
everybody to take as much lime juice as he
wants. Canada is a warmer country than
England, especially this year, and the sue
cess of the lime juice is, we believe, pro-
portionately great. With knowledge we
heartily enjoy the Ldncet's advice"
When oatmeal, Graham bread and milk
are substituted to a large extent for meat,
tea, coffee and white bread, and when lem
onade and lime juice take the place of wine
and beer in the family and at the dining
table, a host of diseases will nave to 90

come, and men and women will not ONLY
live much longer, but be much happier

A MOTH DEsTROYER.-A Notwithstanding
t~incture is made as follows: One ounce of
gum camphor and one ounce powdered
shell of red pepper are macerated in eight
ounces of strong alcohol for seuen DAYS and
then strained. With this ~tincture the furs

it is pretty dry. A large, thick skin must

CoRNs AND SORE FEET.-Gne of the
simplest and s~peediest remedies for small
corns, chafes and b%unions, or for sore feet
generally, is bathing in good old apple jack
or cider-brandy. Bath the feet gently with
this, rubbing we'll before going to bed, with
stockings on, and as often during the day
as need be, by pouring enough inside the
stockings to saturate them. Pure Santa
CrolX rum will answer in the absence of
apple-brandy. A day or two will produce
desirable results, provided that the liquors
are infinitely better applied externally to
the feet, than internally to the head. j.
