A young man in Lancaster county
was out driving with maiden fair the
other evening and in the course of the
drive started to ford ConestOga creek
which was swollen, when in the mid
die of the stream his horse became
fractions and finally kicked itself loose
from the wagon. There was nothing
for the young man to do but get out in
to the water, catch the horse and har-
ness it up to the buggy, he all the while
standing in the water up to his waist.
The next thing in order was to drive to
the nearest farm house and get dry
suit of clothes which was gotten after
some difficulty.

Joseph Hall, BOOT and shoe dealer,
formerly with the firm OF wilson & Hall
of this city, has large store at No. 40
Washington street. He was glad to
meet his Wilmington friends.


A visit was paid to John McMackin,
ESQ.,, but not being at home, (having
Just left the house few moments be-
fore w called) The reporter left his
card, regretting very much at being
unable to meet Mr.. McMackin, but our
time being limited could not wait for
his return. Since the Ocean House
has been destroyed We were informed
that Mr.. Mackin has not taken charge
Of any hotel.
The time having arrived to take a
carriage in order to be on time a car
riage was procured. In the carriage
were four young men and lady. After
riding short distance one of the young
men Kept constantly reminding the
driver that was to take them to Sea
Grove. At last the man who was driv-
en-, told the young men that he could
not take them to Sea Grove, and having
made no arrangement to that effect he
gave them to understand that he did
not intend to take them to Sea Grove.
One of the young men who we will call
"a" then said that the arrangement
had been made with his "boss'' to take
them to Sea Grove, and If he did not in
tend to stick to the contract the party
would get out Of the carriage.


The driver said he did not intend to
let them out and drove the party to the
wharf. The reporter having made no
arrangements to go to Sea Grove, paid
the driver the usual fare. "A." told
til. driver he must stand by his bargain
before he would pay for the ride, and
this he refused to do. AT last after
about 10 minutes talking the man was
only glad to take part of the fare, for
had the young men not paid him one
cent they would have done perfectly
right as the man did not stand by his
bargain.


The boat left the Capes at precisely
3 o'clock, and on the return trip the

DR.. J. w. Draper, in an article in Har-
per's Magazine for April says: Since du-
ring the acts of sensation and intellec-
ton phosphorus is consumed in the brain
and nervous system, there arises ne
cessity to restore the portions consumed,
or, as the proper expression is, to use
brain food. Now, as every one knows,
it is the property of phosphorus to shine
in the dark; and as fish in a certain
stage of putrefactive decay often emit
light, or become phosphorescent, it has
been thought that this is due to the
abundance of phosphorus their flesh con-
tains, and hence that they are eminently
suitable for the nOurishment of the ner-
vous system, and are an invaluable brain
food. Under this idea many persons re-
sort to a diet of fish, and persuade them
selves that they derive advantage from
it in an increased vividness of thought,
signal improvement in the reasoning
powers. But the flesh of fish contains
no excess of phosphorus, nor does its
shining depend on that element. Decay
ing willow wood shines even more bril-
liantly than decaying fish; it may some
times be discerned afar off at night. The
shining in the two cases is due to the
same cause.-the oxidation of carbon, not
of phosphorus, in organic substances
containing, perhaps not perceptible
trace of the latter element. Yet surely
no one found himself rising to u pOetical
fervOr by tasting decaying willow wood,
though it ought, on these principles, to
be a better brain food than a much
larger quantity of fish.

Recent investigations by NJ. Jeannot
have enabled him to demonstrate for
medicO-legal purpose the difference
which exists between hair in a
healthy or diseased state of the body
and on a corpse; also as to its varieties,
its place of growth and the age and sex
of the individual. He also claims to be
able to prove by specimens submitted
whether it had fallen out. There is al
so theory, which yet remains to be
proved, that the presence of arsenic in
the body may be detected in the hair. In
the many murder cases, where hair has
been found on the deadly instruments.
these investigations may be used to adj
vantage in the courts in fixing crimes
on the perpetrators.

THE concert given by the Pasquale Brothers, last Wednesday evening, at Levin's Park Hall. was very pleasant and meritoriOus affair. There was a large audience composed of creme de la creme and skinned milk. The Pasquale Broth CTS were assisted by Q new local musical club, which latter gave some very enter. taining German choruses. It's wonderful how much musical talent there IS in Tue. son when it takes a notion to come out. The Pasquale Brothers showed very fine talent and ability; the elder played on the harp and the younger on the violin. We do not think their selection was as good

 as 1t might have been. Their operatic pieces however showed the beauty and perfection of their performance, that from

The publishers of the NEW ORLEANS
TIMES wish especially at this time that
every citizen of this State should be sub
scriber or reader of the TIMES. Questions
of the greatest Importance to Louisiana
are pending waiting solution. A conven-
tion OF her delegates is now in session
drafting an organic law for adoption to
replace the present constitution, and
which it is hoped will radically reform
| those fearful abuses, wasteful extravagan-
cles and gross injustices which have been
nurtured by it and have grown up under
it. The snbject of restrictive quarantine as
to its efficacy in preventing the introduce
tion Of the scourge Of yellow fever and its
! acknowledged blighted effects upon the
business and prosperity Of the city of New
Orleans and the State, is now engrosslng to
large extent public attention. Other vital
questions, such as labor, immigration, rail
road communications with our neighbOring
State of Texas. removal of the State capi-
tai etc., demand constant consideration
and discussion.


The publishers of the TINES, refer with
pride to the position taken by the TIMES
on all of these questions. Their inspiring
motive has been the good Of the State and
her people. for upon her prosperity, deyel-
opment and growth depend their compen-
sation and reward. From no other source
can they expect to subserve these ends.


The thorough independence Of the TIMES.
its strength, courage and consistency IN
the discussion of all questions, its indefatl
gable and persistent labors to restore the
wonted prosperity Of the South, have made
it recognized throughout the country as
the leading Southern journal and made it
quoted everywhere as the. representative
of the best Southern thought and opinion.


The publishers wish that copy may be
placed in the hands of every citizen in this
State. that he may judge by perusal OF its
merits, of its consistency, of its motive.


As newspaper giving ALL the NEWS of
the day /; as commercial paper, showing
all the movements of business AMI com
merce as an organ of the people. represen
ting and conserving their best and highest
interests, they claim the TINES to be with
out rival in the South.


To meet the general shrinkage in values,
the subscription price of the TIMES has
been materially reduced The TIMES tdaily,
seven papers week. will be sent hereafter
at the rate of $12 per annum, and the Week
ly TIMES at the rate of 81 per annum, pos
tage prepaid.


Copies of the TIMES, either Daily orr
Weekly, gladly sent free as specimens to
any person who desires to examine the
same.


We ask every reader to give the TIMES
trial. We are making it a paper worthy of
support. And we know if the reader once
tries it he will continue subscriber.

A mound similar to those 20 common
in our western states was recently found
and opened in japan, and scientific ex-
animation of its contents affords ground
for very strong argument that canni-
balism was practiced, perhaps habitual.
ly, by some of the ancient inhabitants
of that country. That the Ormori
mound was not a tomb was sufficiently
shown by the fact that the skeletons
found in it were never complete, and
that the bones lay about in disorder,
and in no relation to each other, whereas
the bones of buried bodies would be
found approximately in some position
possible in life. Moreover, the human
bones were found among those of other
animals, and, like them, were broken
into lengths convenient for cooking and
eating, and were deeply scratched in
those portions, such as the joints, from
which the eater would find most diff.
Guilty in removing the flesh. The dis
covery is a curious one, as it is the first
indication of cannibalism among people
whose characteristics as at present known
strongly negative the practice by them
of so horrible q custom. But similar
evidence has been held by archeologists
sufficient to prove the former existence
of cannivals in North America.
