Since that time Romero has been promoted to a lieutenancy os a further mark of distinction and regard for prov ing the traitor to his brave leader. TITUSVILLE TOPICS. Very- Little Daninge Done by the Cold—River Traffic Brisk. Titusville, Fla., Feb. B.—The blizzard of Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursday of last week has come and gone, and all re ports from the country, the vegetable growing sections, are to the effect that the damage was very light. In. ail low places beans and tomatoes were killed, but what was planted on high, dry land escaped unhurt. Tuesday night was the coldest, when the mercury dropped to 36 degrees, but the brisk winds blowing from the north kept the frost from falling. The dispatches of the weather bureau, fore casting the temperature, were rather start ling; but the orange and pineapple grow ers are now all serene, as the cold did not even hurt the new tender growth and bloom on the trees. The pineapple grow ers were feeling a little blue after the cold spell of Jan. 2 and 3, but now find the damage was nominal, and are looking for an average crop of the luscious fruit for the coming season. The steamers of the I. R. & B. B. N. Cos., from Titusville to Palm Beach, are doing a live business since the tourist season opened. These boats are elegantly furnished, and run on the most picturesque route on this continent. The Indian river is long known as the Rhine of the Soith, and the most romantic water course in the “Land of Flowers,” so the traveler from the frozen regions of the North, who does not avail himself of a sail on the broad placid waters of this beautiful stream, meandering by lwialial villas, surrounded by their ever-green orange groves and spacious pineapple plantations, as well as through immense forests of mangrove trees, fails to see the natural scenery and charm of these sub-tropical regions. The citizens of Brevard and Dade counties feel very Indignant about the parsimonious eoffluct of the light house board, for their tardiness in re-establishing the beacon lights on Indian river. Our representatives in Congress,, were instructed to press this tmatter on the board, but it seems the de partment is deaf to all appeals. The old piles, without any lights on ihem, are con stant sources of danger to steamers, yachts, and all kinds of sailing craft. Hon. David S. Hutchinson, a gentleman of leisure, from Trenton, N. J., has just finished building a novel craft. The boat is constructed partly on the plan of the duck boats so numerously used in the harbor of Canton, China. The mast is set in the cen ter of the house, which is square, with a derrick and crank at the end for.-the pur pose of hoisting the sail. Mr. Hutchinson is an ardent sportsman, and will use the pe culiar ship for duck hunting on the Indian and Bana rivers. J. G. Bast left last evening with his launch for Courtenay, where he goes to manage the Royal IBuekhounds Hunt Club for the season. This club is composed of gentlemen of prominence and wealth, and is the most aristocratic association of its kind on the east coast of Florida. The Florida Railroad Commission is an nounced to hold a session in Titusville next Thursday. This will give shippers an opportunity to lodge their complaints. DEAD OR IN A TRANCE. Strange Condition of n Man Supposed to Have Died of Heart Disease. Odum, Ga., Feb. B.—On last Sunday one week ago Isham Moody was supposed to have died of heart troubles. He had been out to his barns seeing after the teamsters feeding his stock, and on his return took a seat in the piazza. In a few minutes he went to his room and laid down on a bed and in a few seconds more was from all appearances, dead. It was thought by all of his family that he was dead. The necessary arrangements were made for the interment of the body, but on examination, the second day it was found that there were no signs of decay, and also that the natural color was yet in the face. He has no pulse that can be discovered and is cold, but not as cold as is Visual in a corpse. Quite a number of his friends and relations have visited the family and all seem to think him dead, yet there is not evidence to satisfy the mind of his family, sufficient to have him put in a vault. It is supposed by some that the circulation of blood from his heart has not totally ceased, but Is so feeble that life is hard to detect. He appears to be more in a trance than anything else. His family say they will not bury him unless more conclusive evidence of being dead appears. A Famous Fisk Pond, Waycross, Ga., Feb. 7.—The Dame mill pond in Clinch county Is emptied every spring for, the purpose of catching fish.

New York, Feb. B.—Riordan & Cos. say of cotton; “Although cotton prices show no change at the close to-day, the wi.iket was quite active mul interesting. Liverpool started off splendidly this morning. The Bpot sales there were very large at l-10c advance, and prices were two and one half sixty-fourths higher. This report affected our market favorably, and the opening here was four to seven points up. The li quidation, however, was very heavy,and in spite of large buying for Liverpool, t nd to cover short prices both here and ill Liver pool, began to give way immediately after the opening, and the undertone of the mar ket was easy throughout the day. The whole advance was lost. Receipts at tiie ports were large and the semi-weekly movement at the interior towns was veiy heavy.Ma.v opened at 6.01 c; declined with moderate reactions to 5.94 c, and closed at 5.95 c to 5.96 c with the tone of the mar ket steady. The southern markets continue to show a firm and unbroken front. Re ports from them indicate that buyers ore eager. Sentiment is decidedly more fni or able to cotton, but we are not inclined to favor purchases.” DRY GOODS. New York, Feb. B.—Unchanged condi tions were the rule In the dry foods mar ket. The usual scarcity of mall orders characterized the day. The price tone re mains firm, but there is no giving In on the part of Ihe buyers, who are present in only limited numbers.

New goods have, on the whole, been well taken up by buyers, with prospects exceedingly bright for heavier buying in the near future. In cotton goods the tone of the market Is firm with out feature of the moment In any grade. Print cloths quiet and unchanged. Prints are unchanged in detail. The market for staples is firm and shows more activity than heretofore. NAVAL STORES. Spirits Turpentine.—There was not such a strong demand for spirits %s during the past few days.
