Our Sunday school at this place seems
to be growing stronger each succeeding
Sabbath, and we hope, soon TO be able to
boast of the largest and best Sunday school
in the county. Much credit is due Super
intendent Harris for his untiring efforts in
bringing about the happy result.
There seems to be difference of opinion
at this place as the advisability of holding
all day singing on the Sabbath day In
some instances they take too much after
the fashion of sacred Sunday concerts.
However rs it has been previously ans
nounced there will be an all day singing
here Sunday next.

his profession. On one occasion he
said to client, who had stated his

err in this suit, but you ought not to
do so, This is a case in which law
and justice are on opposite sides"
The client told him he would push
the case anyhow. "Then," replied
Mr.. Toombs, ''you must hire some
one else to assist you in your rascal

went to him and asked him what he
should charge client in case to

The subject Of Protection and its
results under the Mckinley tariff
will receive the hearty endorsement
Of every Republican and many Dem
ocrats; he shows that the tariff has
proved a wise measure by its results,
aud that Reciprocity and Protection
have increased our wealth and trade.

consAYgstion Of their Free Trade doc

plate industry the most encouraging
results are assured. From the, rate
Of production thus far this yea1's is
estimated that at the end of the year
the product from black plate will

feet of the tariff law in the Southern
States, whose representatives largely
opposed protection, is in the highest
degree promising, and the compile
ton ofthe Nicaragua canal, win open
up new avenues of trade to them.
Speaking ofthe freedom reflections,
the President refers to his annual
message which proposed that a non
partisan committee should be created
to consider the evils of election laws
and suggest remedy. The letter is
a statesmaulike summary ofimmenst
interests, treated in a plain, dignified
and frank manner, that can be easily
understood by all.

did. He sets the platform of his
party before him, and draws com
parsons between it and the platforms
of opposing parties. As the chief
exponent Of the Republican situation
he uses unanswerable arguments in
support of his convictions. It is a
message that viii keep, interest and
instruct the reader,and prove an in
valuable campaign document from
which orators can draw inspiration,
and the reader information. Touch
ing the revival of wildcat banks as
proposed in the Chicago Convention,
calls forth his unqualified condem-
nation. And the purpose of the
Democratic party to abolish National
banks and return to State banks is
scored without mercy.
He makes it PLAN that the United
States should own the steamships
that carry our trade and our mails,
and then in case Of war we would be
in a condition to employ these great
vessels as commerce destroyers, the
same as other nations can use their
ocean steamships by converting them
into cruisers in the event Of hostili-
ties. He advocates subsidy as a ne
cessity for ocean mail service; dwells
upon the advantages to accrue from
the sixteen splendid steamships we
shall soon put on the ocean; takes a
special interest 10 establishing lines

The Republican party favors pro

made here. Sugar and tea come in
free, but if the Democrats come in
power, they would be taxed, and up
would 90 the price and every family
would feel the drain on their peck

said; "The American government

SEVERAL deaths from cholera have
occurred on board Of several
quarantined vessels but no case
has yet appeared in New York City;
this speaks well for the watchfulness
Of the authorities and the improved
sanitary condition of the city. For
eign vessels are boarded at the
Breakwater, and inspected, fumiga-
ted and detained, but no case of
cholera has been landed at the quar-
antine hospital there. In Europe
the disease shows no abatement, but
grows worse in Russia, Hamburg
and France.
The cool weather is on the side of
health and aided by the vigilance Of
the sanitary officials, it is hoped the
contageon may be arrested and con-
fined TO the Lazarettos.

OYSTERS are reported very plenty,
both in Mispillion river and on the
bars below and above the rivers
mouth; this is attributable to there
having been no severe easterly
storms at the season when the Oys-
ter is spatting-when thus faV,e S
it multiplies beyond calculation .!e
spat attaches itself near where the
parent oyster spawns. This will ac-
count for the abundance of the little
oysters found on the pebbly bars
above and below the mouth of the
river. 1t is spawned in the river,
and on the ebb tide is carried down
along the bay shore as far as Cedar
Creek bar; here the little swimmer
ends its active career for all time by
adhering to the pebbles which abound
there. Swarms of the little jelly
like fish do not reach the bar on the
ebb, and being left at slack water,
over muddy and sandy bottom-bOth
unfavorable for spatting-and find
ing nothing to anchor to, return
with the young food tide up the
muddy shore to above the rivers
mouth and finally settles down per
manently on the pebbles about Conch
Bar. Should hard blow from the
eastward bring in a tide from the
sea, that OverfOws the river and
marshes to a depth of two or three
feet above the level Of the marsh at
the time the incipient oyster is in its
active stage of existence, it is carried
out of the bounds of the river and is
swept over the marsh by the swift
receding tide into the bay; there the
swollen waters carry it to destruc-
ton. When there is an absence of
storm tides the oyster increases rap
idly. As to the catching Of oysters
on Cedar Greek Bar for the table, by
our own people, there is no law pro-
hibiting it. They have enjoyed the
privilege since time out of mind; the
bed4 are natural and as free to the
citiy as are the fish that swim in
tie BayS but it seems a pity to take
the oysters when they are so small,
and it 81 ould be protected by law
for period, to enable it to attain a
marketable size, Az to the people
from a distance, who go to the bar
and take oysters for the purpose of
carrying them away and bedding in
other waters, that should be stopped,
law or no law, and, if those who are
Immediately concerns had the spirit
and courage, they would drive the
marauders of. The oyster laws apply
las we Understandable creeks and
rivers during a close season, and to
private beds all the time; it should
extend to the natural beds at Cedar
Creek Bar, till the oysters arrive at
a growth when they are fit to eat.
