The following from the Kent Ners.
just across the bay. may be OF some inter
est to our oystermen: "A number of
oystermen were in Chesteriown on Thurs
day TO consult States Attorney Smith in
reference TO the use OF the patent oyster
tongs recently brought into public no
tice. Capt. Honey, OF the oyster police
sloop. arrested Capts. II w. Davis and
L. 5 Disney, Of Kent county. Tues
day morning. They were each fined
800 by Squire Wilkins. The States at
torney has advised the oystermen that
these tongs may be used in the waters of
Kent county. They are prohibited in
the waters Of Queen Anne Talbot, Dor
chester and Anne Arundel counties. The
trouble seems to be in the right OF the oys-
termen Of Kent and Queen Anne's TO tong
in Chester river in common under one liz
cense TO be issued in the county in which
they reside but as the patent tongs are
not prohibited in Kent waters the Kent
oysterman may use the tongs in Chester
river on the Kent side of the channel
These patent tongs can be used in the
deep waters, where it is impossible to use
the ordinary rakes and we would think
this would be an advantage, in that it
relieves the bars and shallow waters of
the men who are willing to go to deep
water with the patent tongs where here
tofore the tonger has been wholly unable
to get the oysters because it was imposs
sible to reach them with the ordinary
rakes.

Durability or Consumption.

This has been a yexed question among
physicians, opinion even in the same
school, being strangely divergent. OF
this however the public are convinced: it
is terribly prevalent disease and the
average doctor meet with but scant sue
cess in treating it. Consumption is in
reality scrofula of the lungs, and is liable
TO attack any whose blood is tainted.
For driving out the scrofulous humors,
and thus removing the predisposing
cause. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery is sovereign remedy. II purifies
bad blood, heals scrofulous ulcers, and
whatever difference of opinion exists as
to curing advanced cases of consumption

tNcsutt OF ADVERTISING in the Capital.
A few days ago a gentleman called at
the CAPITAL Office and inserted a small
adj offering for sale. horse and dayton,
harness, &c. No less than fourteen per-
sons have answered the advertisement
A gentleman advertised the less of 9
sleeve button. 1t was returned the next
day. A lady advertised the want of q
domestic to do general house work. She
had the selection from number of APP
plicants. And so it goes over list we
might mention to show the value of the
CAPITAL as an advertising medium, and
still some people are foolish enough to
say lit don't pay to advertise" and yet
they take especial pains to run to the ef-
fee TO have their name or their friends
name suppressed from the public print,
if they have done anything to their dis
credit and disgrace. Such consistency.

III Of the South Carolina weather ser
vice, in cooperation with the United

ing Saturday, is as follows, and is very
encouraging to farmers:
The total amount of rainfall during
the past week was apparently about the
normal, and fairly well distributed.
The temperature was about the aver
age. The amount of sunshine was also
about the average, all of which was
very beneficial to the growing crops.
The cotton crop has greatly lmD proved
but with this Improvement t is not an
oYerage crop, for in some sections grass
Still holds the mastery, thereby reduc-
ing the average, but even with this
drawback tn" prospect for Il fair crop
has greatly frightened.
The corn crop is at least % per cent
better than that OF last year.
The melon crop is in fine condition
and the yield promises to be Il full aver
age.
The rice crop is in healthy condi-
ton and growing rapidly.
There have been thunderstormS and
hail i'll some sections, but no injury to
the growing crops is reported.
