CITY NOTES.

Mr. F. J. Buchanan has been appointed
a Justice of the Peace for Putnam
county.
The latest story is entitled ga Perilous
Secret" We suppose it refers to a man
trying to explain to his wife why he ate
that Glove.
DR.. ]. c. Donnelly returned from
Washington City yesterday, where he
went to attend the meeting of the Medi-
cal Association.
Young Man: "How can you manage
it?' Why, go to the druggist and give
him the recipe of the syrup you want
when you ask for Il don't care"
Capt. B. F. Graw, the Loco-foco of
Buffalo Bluff, and an honored member
of the Clabber Club, was circulating
among his friends in the city yesterday.
R. H. Braswell, Esq, of Fruitland
Peninsular, was in the city yesterday,
and gave us a call. He will always find
a warm welcome when he comes on
these premises, which we hope he will
do often.
The council failed tOpass the ordinance
prescribing the fire limit on Wednesday
night This will be a surprise to many
of our citizens, and tomorrow we will
give the proceedings of the board and our
criticisms thereon.
An up-river man. doubtless being in
low spirits, and anxious that his declin-
ing days might be passed in happiness,
and that due respect might be paid his
demise, sent this order to a Palatka drug
house: Syrup owe ruberb; half gallon
whiskey; black lace" The order was
filed.
The orange interest near McMeekin
suffered very little from the unusually
severe cold of last winter. Oranges that
are sound, solid and juicy are now being
and have been shipped from this station
during the months of March, April and
Nav, to date, and there are still several
thousand yet to ship in the grove of DR..
McMeekin. These shipments are yield
ing the growers good prices, and are sell
ing FOR So to $6 per box. What part of
Florida is better than Putnam county for
orange culture?
There has been a considerable change
around SuIzner's music store Harry
Heath, the jeweler, has moved his quar-
tiers to the left side of the door as you go
in, and his old place is occupied with
Sulzner's instruments and sewing ma
chimes. Mr.. Heath has just received a
new combination lock safe for the better
protection of his customers goods, that
is arranged especially for the purposes
intended.
Mr. Adams, on yesterday, notifies the
world of his withdrawal from the edi-
tors chair of the Journal, and informs
his many friends" that he is seriously
sick. We are grieved to know of the
editors illness, of which we never
dreamed, although we usually saw him
at work or on the streets several times
each day. We sincerely hope that the
radical change Of which he speaks may
be beneficial to him in every respect.
Our old friend Robert c. May, of
Rockledge, and Mr. Norwood, of Bre-
ward, called to see us, but unfortunately
we were out. Captain May brought
some lemons, which have all the fra
GRANGE and flavor of Indian river fruit,
and brings to mind the days. when we
lay ON the grass under the splendid trees
in the Captains grounds at Rockledge
and punctuated our sentences by encr-
getic dashes at the festive mosquito.
Long nights on the river, and long days
under the greenwood tree" have we
passed together, and it will be unhealthy
for the other man if we do not see him
on the return trip.
