gnifl&rtfis gtfvmteir. WEDNESDAY, Nov, 17th 1876. [Communicated. ] Snv., Nov. 11th, 1876. Mr. Editor: In your issue of yesterday you advise your readers to cultivate the raccoon oyster. I object to one item in your advice, and that is ■where yon advise to break the bunches. If the scattering is done with unbroken bunches the oysters will separate nat urally and make single oyters, grow ing finely. If the bunches are broken many of the oysters will die. * Your truly, Oyster Loveii. The above communication from a gentlemauin Savannah we take pleas ure in publishing, as it corrects an error in last week’s issue. We depend ed upon others for our information, being ignorant of the subject our selves, hence the mistake. Since re ceiving the above we have had an in terview with Mr. Burnes, an experi enced oyster man in all its details, now with Messrs. Woodwaad & Prince of this city, who informs us that “Oys* ter Lover” is very correct in the ubove matter. He gives, too, some good suggestions to those who think of evil' tivating oysters this season. He says, Get young thriving oysters, bunch or otherwise, and place them where they will always be under water, on a firm clay or shelly bottom with a thin coating of mud—not sufficient, however, to allow the oyster to sink deep enough to bury itself. Having lain there one or two seasons, ns the case may be, take them up, cull them over, and replant the small ones else, where placing an entire new plunting on the bed formerly occupied by these. We hope these suggestions will be en tertained by our people, and that every one, who can, will give the matter a fair trial, end thus develop, at least, one of our resonrees. Ghost.—'Twos night—the time that ghosts and hob-goblins are said to per ambulate the earth. The pale moon had just risen above the tree tops, when a fignre, in the linbilin ents of the grave, entered our office, and in sad and plaintive notes asked to have her demise printed. We stood aghast—revolving mnny things in our mind. Our “devil,” not at all daun ted, brandished his roller high in air, threatening to exterminate all before him—when lo! he discovered about the neck a neat little collar and pink neck-tie, sweetly clasped by broach with pendants dangling and underneath the ghostly robes he saw protruding the hem of a calico dress and a neat little shoe. He lowered his weapon, believing he had Been that broach and tie before. 8he vanished. — Borne mischievous party left the following on our table during our ab sence.
