The steamers upon their arrival, have scarcely time to draw their breath -before they are filled to repletion and hie again to the sea. A saunter through this busy mart in these days of complaining, is certainly refreshing, and would do more to cure a dyspeptic than all the nostrums of the medical world. and creeks that contained so many oysters have almost refused to yield a sufficiency of the bivalves, and the consequence is that we are pooreT, and the "prospects for living through another year are more gloomy than they have been since tfe war.

But still our taxes increase and our lands are valued higher even when they almost refuse to yield to ns the fruits of our labor. This is ft problem we wish some one to solve, and if satisfactorily we will then bow our, necks to the yoke and bear the burden without a word of complaint. s. f. h.

in British North America. It has a population of about 200.000. The city being at the head of ship navigation, we concluded to take; a drive aloDg the water front, where we found' the wharves to surpass anything of the kind we ever saw in the States, They are built' of granite a broad terrace, faced with grey stone, the parapets of which are surmounted with a substantial iron railing, dividing the city from the river throughout its whole front, We noticed a great many large for-; eign steamships, and a few from Southern, The activity in business seemed to be as great, according to population, as any of our Northern cities. We also visited the City Hidl, Court House, Post office, several of thedifferent Banks, McGjll College, Bonsicours English Cathedral, French Cathedral (Notre Daine)J St. Mary's College, Bon Pa6teur: Nunnery, Victoria Square, and the statue of Her Majesty, Mount Royal Cemetery and park, all of which will do credit to any first class city.

The Notre Dame Cathedral is worth mentioning. The balding was begun in March, 1854, and the plan was designed by a Mr. Keely, of Brooklyn, N. It is certainly a work of genius. It wos opened for worship in December, 1855, and is said Oub Cotton completion of this institution is being rapidly pushed forward, and from present appearances the machinery ba put up and in running order within the next two months.

We took a survey of the premises on Wednesday last, and not being favored with a mechanical tarn of mind were greatly bewildered at the sight of so much and so great a variety of apparatus which already occupies the several apartments. As to the crowning touch of this important enterprise we simply report excellent progress, and, that the managers are exerting every effort toward its consummation. The: company has already purchased and stored pounds of seed cotton, besides a large quantity; ginned and baled. i In our survey of this undertaking we note with pleasure a number of our youth engaged in the honorable pastime of work, and thereby fitting themselves for future independence, Were more of the lads of this city to profit by their example, it would be better for posterity.

In a recent issue of the Newbebnian we 'suggested that, in point of neatness, good tante and order, our city would show to a much better advantage if the Episcopal Church edifice- over the jyay was completed and painted outside, so as to compare favorably ith its inside finjish. We alsoexpressed the hope that our citizens would take the matter into serious consideration. We are glad to announce that our suggestion has been discussed by a goodly number andthat voluntary contributions have already been offered for' the purpose of painting trie structure. Among the contributors we note the following, and with permission, will, from week to week, publish the names and; the amount subscribed, and keep the same standing in our columns until the required sum is made up. Next week we hope to be in receipt of estimates as" to the cost of the work and material, sq that our citizens may know how much be required to complete the work in good style.

One Cent a Day. Economy is the (jr dJr of the hour, and every expenditure, however smallj is expected to give a return in full value. Every family requires one good, reliable family newspaper. If such an article can 'be procured for less than one cent for each working day we are not aware of it A family newspaper should contain a carefully prepared summary of all ths news of the day, both religious and secular and if arranged so that the two departments may be separated and read by two individuals at the same time, so much the better. The family newspaper should have attractive reading and information for the various members of a household.

Some portion of the paper should be devoted, every week, to religions and moral improvement, toj current secular news, to agriculture, commerce, markets, to general literature, with a special department for the young. Above allthe family newspaper should be perfectly pure, and free from any contaminating influences; in its reading matter or in its advertisements. Too. much attention cannot be paid to this feature, when the press is flooding the country with so much that is vile and pernicious To crown all, the family newspaper should be untrammelled by any affiliation with sect or party, and should be free to give all the good news from and about the world. If such a family newspaper can be had for one cent a day, it should be taken by every family in the land.

Such a family newspaper in every respect, we find in the New York Observer, now commencing its fifty sixth volume. comprehensive, sound, reliable, "pure, it lis just what is needed in your household.

I After several days of rainy weather, the clouds have all disappeared, and we once more have fine autumnal weatner, sucn as farmers appreciate at this season of the year for harvesting their crops.

But alas crops have been sadly cut off by the incessant rains early in the season. Up to that time crops were very promising, and bid fair for a bountiful harvest But God's ways fire not as ours, and let ns say with Job of old, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." 1 Last year tbje crops were almost destroyed by the storm on the 17th of September, which flooded almost the entire surface of Goose Creek Island. In April, 1877, it was nrst time saw tnem J. 'If was at a camp-meeting near Trent bridge inj 1820, when the Rev.

The scene bad a sympathetic inflaence and many other Christians ere similarly affected. Mr. S. has lone since passed to his rewardjand his daughters are probably with him to celebrate in heaven the joys which began on earth in the service of their Redeemer.

At this camp-meeticg I heard a very i impressive discourse by the Rev, Henry B. Howalrd, of Wilmingloni who had been educated for tee fear, nis jinfidelty had been subdued by! a perusal of the Scrip tures induced by an lold Christian servant, whose serene countenance after death told that he was happy.

These. boys occupied an adjacent pew to that in which we were seated. It may be possible that there were other boys at church whose behavior might be questioned, but we especially make mention of that whereof we know. A repetition of this conduct, and we shall give the names of the offenders so that their parents may mete out justice unto them. Shade Trees.

We. were much pleased on yesterday to see that the propriety and necessity of setting out shade trees around the Episcopal premises, is finally recognized, and that the young maples are being' placed on Pollock and Middle streets fronting the spacious grounds. Upon inquiry we learn that our enterprising tirug firm, E. H. Meadows and our -First National Bank; Geo.

H. Roberts, Esq have generously donated these trees and, in con-nection with City, Marshal Thomas, are superintending the planting of them, MabketBasin. Yesterday the market basing foot "of Middle street, was packed to its utmost capacity with craft of all descriptions from the stately corn cracker to the swan like dug-out, laden with cotton, corn, potatoes, oysters, fish and poultry the gobbling of the latter filled the air, and told us as plainly as our Governor's proclamation that Thanksgiving draweth nigh. Trade was brisk in the vicinity, and the countenances fof its denizens were bright wjth well satisfied smiles. The merchants were as busy as bees in May, and sighed a sigh of relief when the hour came up shop." The Weatheb We had fondly hoped that cold.

king the weather would become dry and But just as our expectations were ta-root, behold the clouds gather, the. melancholy rain begins to fall, and the streets speedily become a vast network of mud. How long is this to last? This has been truly a wet Fall. The farmers have been put back in picking their cotton, the merchants have been hindered in their traf fic, and business generally has languished. We can only hope on for the future for one great, white frost, that will cover every thing like snow.

Then, health will improve, business will grow better, the crops will be gathered, and we shall begin to. feel like the last holidavs of the year. To Bbidge 'Builders. Sealed proposals will be received by the Board of Commissioners of Jones county up to the first Monday in January next, for the building of a bridge across Trent river at Pollocksville in said county. Proposal to contain a plan for building the cost of building, and to be accompanied by a bond with good security equal to the amount of the bid for the faithful performance1 of the contract.

Said bridge must be completed by the first Monday of Mayi 1878, and will be subject inspection and approval (by the County Commissioners or a committee appointed under their authority. A tax will be levied in theyear 1878 to pay for said bridge. The Board reserves the right to reject any or all bids deemed unreasonable or extravagant. Isaac T. Wilson, Clerk.

Trellton, Nov. 5th. 1877. Tbapfed. Mr.

tilex Lupton, of Goose Creek Island, informs ns that some time since he was much annoyed at the constant and unaccountable dimunition of the corn in his He knew his own consumption did not cause the shrinkage, nor could 'the rata destroy it in such quantities. He examined the fastenings, of his barn they were all right, but upon a close inspection of the outside, he discovered one of the weatherboards loose, so that it could be raised and allowed to drop back in its place. Upon making this discovery, he set an Erie otter trap inside his barn, opposite the displaced plank, and, to use his own words, he says; "about 11 o'clock that night I heard something tell the news. I knbw'd it wasn't no bear, nor no kind of woods varmint I run down to the barn and suie enough there was a negro named Sam Yound with his hand in the trap. I took Sam and walked him off to an officer," and Sam now languishes in jail minus three fingers, and 'awaiting the next term of the Superior Court, and the balance of Mr.

Lupton's corn remains by himself. 'V" Kino Cotton. r-Cotton still continues 'to flow into our city in an unceasing stream, by land and by water. The junction of Craven and South Front streets for the greater part Hoi each day is almost impassable, being blooked by every species of vehicle loaded with cotton. Some of these; conveyances are peculiar in structure and unique in design.

Brock's monument, said to be 185 feet hih the base is 40 feet square by 30 feet high; the shaft is of freestone fluted, 75 feet high and SO feet in circumference, surmounted by a Corinthian capital, on which stands a statue of the gallant General. The view from this monument is most gorgeous. i The eye wanders withjnntiring delight over! the richest imaginable scene of woodland: and At this village we took the steamer 4 'City of Toronto," for Toronto, Can-I ada.

Passing down the river to its we come to Fort Niagara on the American side, and then steamed out upon the bosom of the boisterous lake, and on account of sea sickness, we knew nothing more i until our arrival in the harbor of Toronto, which we reached at about 3. o'clock ia the afternoon. We stopped at the American Hotel, which is situated on one olf the principal thoroughfares, and is well kept and apparently well patronized. Saturday September" l6t, we walked over a portion of the business part the cityj which i said to contain frm se venty-five to one hundred thousand inhabitants. It js rather an old looking city, still it has a great many beautiful buildings.

We visited a great many stores that will do credit to any city. The Post office and Custom house very buildings, though not as large as some our Northern cities. The Trinity and Metropolitan churches, I think, will compare favorably with almost any in the States. Flag stone appears to be very scarce, as nearly all the sidewalks are paved with plank, and some of the principal streets with wooden blocks. King street, the Broad-: wav of the city, seems to be alive with bus iness, ancl I noticed the signs of a great many importers of foreign and domestic the jobbers ilso seem to be doing quite an extensive trade.

On Sunday morning the weather gave promise of rain, fact, did a lit tie during the day, so we remained at the hotel, and were deprived of the pleasure of attending church. was a little astonished to find that the 6treet cars and hacks were all token off the streets on Sunday. So you see we were compelled to remain in-doors in spite of ourselves, Monday morning the sun came out beau ti fully, and we spent the most of the day walkine over the citv. sieht-seeme. Late in "1 the afternoon we came to the conclusion that we had remained in Toronto long enough, and would move in the direction of Montreal, i At 7 o'clock, p.

m. we left on the Grand Trunk Railroad, passing Port Hope and Cohurg, two very pretty little towns of about four or five thousand inhab itants each, and arrived at Kingston at 3 o'clock, a. m. This place was once one of the most important'military posts in Can ada. It is one hundred and seventy-five miles from Toronto, and contains about 15,000 inhabitants.

Going down the St Lawrence sriver from Kingston, the first thins to attract our attention is the Thous- and Islands. I am than 1,100 of these told there are no less gems of beauty in the river, of all sizes, from the islet a few yards square, to miles in length. I learn it is a famous spot for sporting they have too, been the scenes of most exciting romance. After passing the Thousand Islands come to Prescott, a pretty little town of about 3,000 inhabitants, situated on the Canada side, at the junction of the St. Lawrence and Ottowa Railroad.

A short dis-tance from Prescott is the city of i Ottowa, which is a walled city, and the capital of the two provinces. jAfew miles below Prescott, is chimney island, on which the re mains of an old French fortification an be seen. The first rapids of the river is at this island. The descent of the rapids is the most exciting part of the whole passage of the St Lawrence. When the 6teamer enters the rapids they shut off steam, and even then, the boat rushes through at the rate of twenty miles an hour.

Great nerve, force and precaution are: here 'displayed by the sturdy Indian who now have her in charge. There are a great many other places of considerable note, one of which ia the Lachin rapids, a few miles above Montreal, the lost rapids of any importance, and considered the most diificult to navigate! They are obviated by the Lachin canaL 8 miles in length, overcoming a descent of 44 feet of Notre Dame. took ah omnibus and went to the Albion hotel, where we received -every attention that we could expect. We found it quite cool, po much so, that we had fires xxk our rooms, and while out of doors, an "overcoat felt very comfortable indeed. I After resting ourselves for several hours, we hired a carriage and started out tc visit all the principal points of interest, in and around the city.

i i I was told by our guide that the city of i Montreal is the largest and most populous I to be one of the finest churches in North America its length is 104 feet, its width 144 feet and its heighth in the centre aisles ia 75 feet Its general appearance is re markably light, and perfectly elegant, but its architectural design, its sculptures and its paintings, constitute its beauty, i 7b be RECOLLECTIONS OF SEWBERN I FIFTY YEARS AGO. BY STEPHEN F. MILLEB. i PLANTERS BESmiNO IN TOWN- 4. John P.

Daves was of the number who held the highest rank in society, as well from individual character as from Wealthy connections. He was a brother of the whole blood1; to. Mrs. Collins of Eden ton, whose husband was said to be the largest property holder in the State, Mr. Daves was also a half brother of Mrs.

McKinley, widow of James McKinley, who died without issue, leaving the most valuable estate owned by any citizen of Newbern. Aside from these influences, Mr. D. was constitutionally of great elevation of! character, and though popular in high circles, he was by no means a favorite with the masses. It was impos sible for him to condescend to electioneering ingenuity, and his defeat for.

Congress in 1821 by Mr. Blackledge, was the natural result. His first marriage was with Miss Hatch his second wife was a sister of Louis D. Henry, and the present Mrs. Daves was Miss Graham.

I Mr. John P. Daves died in 1839. The late Gov. Ellis married his daughter.

The residence of Mr. Daves, in Newbern, was on, or very near the Bite of the Palace of the Royal Governors of North Carolina, previous to the revolution of 1776. By de sign or accident it was burned down Jong before my day but it must Have been a costly edifice, judging by the size and qnal jty of the stables, the brick walls of which were more than twenty feet high. The roof had fallen in or was destroyed by the con flagration yet the walls remained in 1824, and I presume still remain, as a vestige of royalty interesting from the associations of the past. Josiah Martin, an Englishman, was the last Royal Governor who occupied the Palace.

John Hawks, the grandfather of F. Hawks, was the architect. Gen. Miranda visited the Palace in 1783, and assured Judge Martin, the historian, "that the structure bad no equal in South Amer A beautiful engraved representation of it is given in Lossins's Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution, Vol. II, pt .364.

5. Thomas Davts, a brother of the preceding gentlemen, was the very reverse of him in popular favor, and hadbeen.sher iff of Craven county just for the sake of mixing with the people, and doing them acts of kindness. His fortune was snffi cient to enable him to do without office of any kind. He had a pleasant word for ever body, and seemed to declare by the be nevolent expression of his face, that his own happiness consisted in making other people happy. I am not clear enough in my ree ollection to state positively whether he mar ried I Miss Bryan; or a daughter of Gen Durant Hatch.

1 believe he married both as he was at one time a widower. Mr. Daves removed to Greene county, Alabama, where he died. I do not remember his children except that he had a son named Durant Hatch Daves.5' 6. Josiah Howard owned an extensive plantation in Jones county, and had his family residence in Newbern, where he passed a portion of his time.

His wife was Narcissa Hatch, who was a pions lady and a member of the Episcopal Church, while her husband wffs averse to religion. At her re quest the Rev, R. S. Mason attended the bedside of Mr. Howard in his last illness to offer him spiritual consolation if he desired it.

The minister, it was said, melt with no encouragement in his labor of love. Mr. H. died in July, 1822. A post mortem ex amination was made by Drs.

Boyd and Cus- tis, which showed a- complicated disease of the chest He left two sons, George W. and James W. Howard, the latter of whom represented Jones county in the House of Commons in 1831, 1835 and 1836, and in the Senate iu 1842 and 1846. .1 Mrs. Howard was occasionally visited by a beautiful relative Miss Narcissa Whit' -field, of Lenoir, just matured into! woman' hood, who was highly accomplished, partic ularly excelling in musical gifts and culture.

She was too pure for earth her disposition was angelic and in 1823 her gentle, spirit ascended to heaven. An intelligent writer (Mr. Lovick Vail) published in the Sadind, a glowing yet merited tribute to her mem ory, in, which he introduced with happy effect, a passage from the touching lines i of Dr. Yonng on the death of his step-dangh- ter, "Nareissa." The parallel between the lovely maidens, rendered the quotation from the "Night Thoughts" very appropriate, aside from the identity of names "Sweet harmonist! and beautiful aa sweet v.

John Frink Smith was a gentleman somewhat advanced in age, and had quite a large family of children. His eldest son I have noticed under the head of "law students." The grown daughters were handsome and pious, and with their father were almost as bad, though not in season to do We now come to that wonderful structure, so much damage.
