Letter from VOlusia County, Florida

DAYToNA, VoLUsIA COUNTY, FLA, July H.
Editor Morning Mems: The spirit moves me
to send you a communication, but as / am not
much on newspaper correspondence / fear il
will be candidate for the waste basket. The
fact that have never seen anything In the
papers about our town is my apology for this
effusion, which l send, thinking a few dots
would not be out of place, and may be of some
interest to the many readers of your valuable
paper.
Daytona Is situated on the Halifax river,
which flows in a southerly course parallel
with and from one-half to one mile from the
Atlantic. The place was first settled about
twelve years ago by colony brought here
from the West by a Mr. Day. Since then,
however number of Northern people have
settled here, and the Georgia cracker also
comes in for a share of the honor. lone of
whom I'm which. J"
Daytona contains about FIVE hundred inhabi-
tants, I'VE dry goods and grocery stores, one
drug store, two churches, one saw mill and
one hotel, which does good business during
the winter season; also, the Female Institute,
which is the pride of Halifax river.
This region is the centre of attraction for
those who desire to invest in orange growing
and the like, as all the semi tropical and most
of the tropical fruits grow here in profusion.
The climate is pleasant. A delightful sea
breeze springs up in the morning. and gener-
ally lasts until the evening is far advanced
We have very little sickness, only few cases
of chills and fever, while the severer type Of
fever usually common on the coast is a rarity
The healthfulness of our town is in a great
measure due to the bountiful supply of pure
water, supplied by seventeen artesian wells
owned by private parties.
But little attention is paid to farming, set
tiers putting in only little corn. Irish and
sweet potatoes and some sugar cane in their
orange groves, which yield fair crop with
but little attention.
We have a strictly temperance town.
There's not a barroom on the river, and, as
Brother Sweet says, the Jugs and kegs are
getting less frequent here"
Our citizens had an opportunity OF witness
ing rainbow at night just as the moon rose
on Tuesday evening last, phenomenon that
rarely occurs.
We have g tri-weekly mail via. st. Angus
tine which keeps US posted with what is goin G
on In the outside world. HALIFAx.@

Mr.. Nathan K. Platshek, Secretary of the
Louise King Association for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, returned home yes
terdsy, after an absence Of ten days, during
which be visited Augusta and Atlanta in
the interest OF the association. The bin to
amend the law In reference to cruelty to
animals, which was introduced in the
House, was in the main framed by him.
1t will also be seen that in the
House yesterday bill was passed realir-
ing judges to charge on the law In refer
ence to cruelty to animals. The represen-
tatives from Chatham are giving every
assistance to the good cause. Should the
bill introduced In the House on Monday be-
come law, there will be some important
changes In the Association here.

THE CENSUS or THE RKRsT
DISTRICT.
Table Showing the Population I'm
Each County I'm 1870 and 1850.

Editor Morning Meas: Believing that the
following tables would be Of interest TO your
readers in the different counties, have
compiled the same, showing the increase in
each county. Bryan county is the only
county which shows a decrease, and this
is accounted for by the removal of large
number Of turpsntine hands, and the Super
visor does not believe that a correct emu
meration was made. The population Of
Savannah ia reported as $1,000. 1t must be
borne in mind that the city limits only ex-
tend TO Anderson street, when, II we go one
mile from there, the population would GER
tainly be increased 70 "a, 900.

The fire which started across the river
in the dry peat lands of South Caro-
lima a few weeks since (of which men
ton has been made in the NEws), nearly
opposite the eastern portion of the city, has
extended, aud now reaches the western
limits of the city. Immense volumes OF
smoke are seen rising In that direction, and
1t is thought that the woods have
caught and considerable damage may be
done before 1t is extinguished, and the lat
ter can only be done by "a good, heavy rain.

Some years ago, farmer had q
horse which had become useless for
labor, on account of an attack OF
heaves. The horse was turned In
to pasture field, and allowed the
range it afforded, and not looked
after for some time. There had
been a lime kiln in the field, and in
the basin of the kiln water was
standing most of the time. There
was no other water in the field the
horse was confined in. After some
weeks the owner found the horse
free from disease, the lime water
having effected the cure.

will pass Immediately either up OF
down, as the animal will cough and

it will run down easy. This is the
