A Yenetable Curiosity,
We saw last evening a curiosity in the
shape of twin apples grown in the orchard
on the farm of Mr. John S. Harriss, near
this city. The twins were both well formed
axid ware joined together in the middle
very much after the manner so to speak ,
of tha Siamese twins. The stems of the
apples were perfect, bu.t joined in the same

In speaking yesterday of the amount

Capt. Ashe and the ObserTer. '
Yesterday sp Raleigh pbscrvcr comes to
us with the auneuacement that Capt. 8.
A JAshe has purchased the Ob
server, that the control of the paper has
already passed into his hands and that its

Xeed we say bow cordially we welcome
our old companion and friend into the
ranks Jof journalism in this State, nor
how glad we are that th control of such
a paper as the Observer is in the hands
of odu who shares so largely in the esteem
and confidence of the party in tkis State?
My the Obsercct continue to prosper
and lengthen foil the grand warfare of
right agiinst might.
The Heavens in July.
Toward the end of this month
six
planets will be prominent in the evening
sky. Venus, Mercury,) and U fan us may
be seen in the earlier part of the evening,
an hour after sunset, and Jupiter, Saturn,
and Mars are above the horizon before
miuuight. The tbrte latter are approach
ing their opposition, and are consequently
iucreasing in 6ize and brightness. The
July moon was full on the 3d, and even
yet there is only an average difference of
twenty-four minutes in the time of rising,
to that the midsummer evenirgs are flood
ed with silver light. To-night she wilj
form a picture fair to see, when in con
junction with Jupiter. On the 11th she
u near Mars and Satarn. iThe new meon
of the 10 th is in, con junction with both
Mercury and Uranus when two days old.
On the 22J the loveliest conjunction of
the month takes place between the mocn
and the fa ireat of the stars.

A Country Tallet.
A country toilet may be of nary bine
linen, trimmed with embroideries in light
bine. The front of the skirt is trimmed
with a plaited flounce, bordered with a
light bine cord ins. A trimming is made
in the shape .of an apron, with two em
broidere'd flounces and linen plaitiogs
Two straight pieces ef goods fall down
the sides of the apron, which are trimmed
with an embroidered ruffle and cordings
These pieces, are draped over the hips and
then fastened under the front seam. -Tho
back of the skirt is made of straight seams
The top part of these seams is raised in
puff, aud the lower part plaited in large
hollow plaits fastened down on the wrong
side by meats of ribbons. The puff is
trimmed with sky-blue ribbons. The
waist, with a plastron, is of navy-blue
liuen. The back is cut "taileur" shapedj
and is open on the lower part of the
seara ; below this are ribbon loops. Near
this opening are two tongues embroidered
with light blue. The waist is hooked in

tons on either side, and is separate from
the waist. Around the waist is a light

reach to the elbow, and are trimmed with
an embroidered ruffle 'and a ribbon bow.
The hat is of white rice straw, trimnted

How and When to Bathe.
Avoid bathing within two hours after
meals, is the advice of the Royal Humane
Society of England, or when exhausted by
fatigue or from any other cause, or when
the body is cooling after perspiration, and
avoid bathing altogether in the open air
if, after being a short time In the water,
there is a senae of chilliness, with numbs
ness of the hands and feet, but bathe
when the body is warm , provided no time
h lost in setting into the water. Avoid
chilling the body by sitting or standing
undressed on the banks or ' in boats, after
having been in the water, or remaining too
long in the water, but leave the water im
mediately there is the slightest feeling of
chilliness. The vigorous and strong may
bathe early in the morning on an empty
stomach, but the young and those who are
weak had better bathe two or three hours
after a meal ; the best time for such is
from two to three hours after breakfast.1
Those who are subject to attacks of giddi
ness or faintness, and who suffer from pal
pitations and other sense of discomfort at
the heart, should not bathe without first
consulting their medical adviser.

Will .Yot be Ordered Out.
It has been definitely decided that the
Wiimington Light1 Infantry will not go
to Smithville on Friday, as a guard for
the Sheriff of Brunswick county at . the
execution of John Davis, colored, , which
is to take place there on that day. In
response to telegrams from' Gen. Taylor
communications have been received from
the Governor and from Adjutant Gen'i
Jones, the former stating that a guard
may be furnished the Sheriff of Bruns
wick county if he so desires
bat that I it must be I at
the expense of the county, as the State
will pay no part ! of it; and Adjutant
General Jones says that before the guard
famished the Sheriff of Brunswick
county i must certify that he has a reason
able apprehension of riot. I
The Wilmington Light Infantry, there-
fore,will not be ordered out as Sheriff Tay-
or writes to GenjTaylor'saying that he has
no apprehension of any trouble and that
he does nut think the presence of the mi 1
itary will be necessary.
Given It Up.
Sheriff Chinnis of Brunswick county,
on Saturday last, in according with the
advice of friends and counsel, delivered
over to Mr. E. W. Taylor, oT Brunswick,
the Sheriff's office for that county, which
has been in litigation between the first
named party as a Democrat and the last
named person as a Republican ever since
the election in August last, , the Supreme
Court having decided adversely to Mr.
Guthrie, Democratic claimant for Superior
Court Clerk which, we belie vew as made
a test case for the other offices.
Trying; to Learn How.
Sheriff Taylor of Brunswick was in the
city to-day and called atSheriff Manning's
office where he received instruetion in
practicing the art of tying a hangman's
knot. After an hour or so spent in this
occupation the Sheriff ot Brunswick
finally considered himself proficient and
took his departure to make the purchase
of the rope in order to adjust the fatal
noose, before he forgets the lessen he had
received, which is to launch John Davis,
on Friday next, from Smithville into
eternity, i (
