1t is true the Jarvis Richmond-R Rail-

further true that Mr.. Clark has long

color to the report about the combina

never stoop to political and railroad in

the death of his infant son Daniel, aged

Blake, aged S5,-universally esteemed as
a man and as a minister. --Had Il
stranger happened to observe the closed
stores on Saturday afternoon, in Raleigh,
and the large assemblage in the square
adjacent to Christ church, he would have
supposed that some eminent public func-
tionary was receiving funeral honors. On
the contrary, the multitude came to pay
respect to one who never held public Of
fee, we believe; and whose whole life had
been passed amid the counters of a mer-
camille house. From this we may as
sumo that Col. VIM. Henry Harrison
Tucker had qualities to make many
friends and to hold them. His death on
Thursday night was . great surprise to
the public. He had not been Ill, and
had spoken pleasantly of his robustness
a few hours previous. But shortly after
retiring on Thursday, the cold grasp OF
apoplexy seized his vitals. and he was
heard to call loudly for aid. A servant
helped him into an easy chair, and has
tened for assistance. When it came he
was seated with bent head, as if asleep,
but life had fed. Much comment is
made upon the fact that during more than
a score of years he and his brother, Maj.
Rufus S. Tucker, held all things in COM
mon; each doing and taking, as he willed.
Not exactly like Dickens "Cherryble
Brothers. but surely a m%eritorious ex-
ample of harmony. Col. Tucker lett a

We accepted an invitation from Prof
W. K. Brooks to visit his labratory and
view his experiments in propagation o.
the oyster. We found him patientl,
watching and waiting for results. and
spent a delightful hour amid the wol.
de's OF the microscopic world. Thu

Eggs and they had begun to swim. A
tumbler Of water was hapded us. which
under ordinary circumstances would
have been swallowed as a beverage, bu,
We were informed that it contained pro

holding 1t to the light, we could dis

~ millions of them can occupy 4 cubic

All this would be a matter Of DO grea,
consequence if only curiosity were to b.
gratifed, but the increasing quantity O
these ~bivalves, which is annusEiy being
called for, necessitates the propagation
and culture to an extent heretofore un
known.
DR.. Brooks informs US that colo

problem IN which he is laboring is t.
