Oysters Sick in Their Beds.

"Green Clip is term made use OF
among dealers to describe the peculiar
appearance of some oysters at certain
seasons of the year. 1t is reported
that great excitement prevails at Red
Bank, New Jersey, owing to the dis
covery of this disease" which renders
the oysters unsaleable. Thomas =.
Covington, an old and experienced
dealer in oysters, of that city, who has
beds of his own and is thoroughly con-
versant with all the ills to which these
luscious bivalves arc subject, explain
ed the matter in this wise: "Near the
bottom of an oyster, on the right side,
you will observe layer Of skin that
looks like lip Under this is the gill.
In many of the Chincoteagues and
some from Snow Hill, and the Rap
pahannock river-in short, among
those which come from Southern
waters-the gills are sometimes a
bright green. This is not ob5erva-
bic in a raw oyster, but when cooked
the lip curls up and the green is plain
ly visible. This is caused by the green
sedge which floats down from the
rivers tributary to the oyster beds in
the fall of the year, upon which the
bivalves feed They are unmarked
able because of their ugly appearance
and most people do not understand
tAat they are all the fatteE and better
tasted for it. Some dealers rake their
beds occasionally to remove the grass
and yet we have customers who say
that "green gills" are at premium
with them.
"a real disease, however, and ono
that is fatal in its results, has just
made its appearance in the oysters
from the Rappahannock. Since the
first Of the year these have been the
best in the market, but three weeks
ago this disease was observed. /,
consists of small black spot, which
none but dealer will see. The oyster
is perfectly good all around the spot
but if this is bitten into the whol'
, thing is made bitter and unpalatable
1t is, iG fact, the beginning of decay
and the oyster is bound to die in {
short time after it appears. This dis
, ease brings the Maurice river cove:
again into demand, and in my opinion
there are none better sold in Philadel
phia to-day

MARQUIS DE SALAMANCA.
The Death, in Spain, OF this

Recent foreign advices received by
Mr.. A. II. Steele, President of the She

the State of New Y Ork, to a connection
with the Olio & Mississippi Railroad

Mr. McIenry, after much solicita-

Responsibility Of Boroughs.

Judge White, at the session Of The
court at Washington, Pa laid down
the law in a case showing the duty
of city and borough authorities, as
well as supervisors of roads, in re-
gard to keeping public thoroughfares
in safe condition for travellers, which
is interesting throughout the State.
The case was that of Williams against
Monongahela City, being suit for
damages, Williams having been injur-
ed by being thrown from bis sleigh,
which had come in contact with a
pile of frozen dirt The plaintiff was
awarded $4,000.
"Boroughs and cities are bound to
keep their streets in reasonably safe
condition for travellers. They should
not permit any obstruction in the
streets, or anything that is likely to
endanger the safety of travellers. Per-
sons who may wantonly place obsuuc
tions in the street may also, under
I some circumstances, be liable in dam,
ages for personal injury; but the bor-
ough or city is liable where the city of:
feials have actual knowledge of its ex.
istence, or where it has continued long
enough to give them information, al
though they may not have actual
knowledge of it, The neglect of a city
to keep it's streets in. such condition is
called in law negligence If the dirt
pile was some nine feet from the curb
stone in the street, four feet in diane
ter at the base, and some eighteen
inches high, and had remained on the
street with the knowledge of the Of
ficers of the city having charge of the
streets, from the Sth or 18th or Goth o
December until the first of February, |
haVe no hesitapcy in saying the city was
guilty of negligence.
The main question, however, in the
case is: Was the plaintiff guilty o.
contributary negligence? Because
Notwithstanding the city may have
been guilty Of negligence yet if the
plaintiff was also guilty of negligence
which contributed to the result, he il
not entitled to recover While travel
ers have right to presume the street
is clear the entire width of it, yet they
are bound to keep their eyes about
them, bound to drive with some de
gree Of earq and prudence, in conse
quence Of these DISTRACTIONS that may
exist. The degree Of care required o
the Traveller is degree of care tina
would be exercised by an ordinary pru
dent or cautious man under the exist
ing circumstances.
