WILMINGTON. N. C, The Board of County Commissioners are in session this afternoon but the proceedings are too late for this issue. Messrs. Humphrey. "Jenkins & Co. haye placed before us . a real curiosity in the shape of twin canteloupes, of good size, ripe and well-developed, which were raised by Mr. O. F. Corbett. on Middle Sound. The two are firmly joined to? gether and yet seem separate and dis tinct It is the first curiosity of the kind in the cantcloupc line wo have seen. After Many Days. On the 13th day of last June, Mr. Willie Monroe met with an accident by which a large pine splinter penetrated his hip. He went to a physician who succeeded in extracting a portion of it. Last Saturday, nearly two months after the accident occurred, the rest of it was removed. That taken out then is an inch and a hah in length and during all of the interval Mr. Monroe has walked about with this chunk of lightwood embedded in his flesh. A. Generous OlFer. The President of the Ladie's Memor ial Association, of this city, havo re ceived a note from Mr. J. D. Sublets Manager of the Hotel Brunswick, a1 Smithville. who kindly offers them, free of charge, the use of his pavilion and all of its conveniences should they give an excursion down the river for the benefit of the North Carolina Conted erate Home Fund. Mr. Sublett's gen erous offer will be laid before the As sociation at their nextt meeting and we think likely that it will be accepted. Religious Items. Rev. W. H. Bobbitt.

There was a large attend ance both at the morning and night serytce and the sermons were of re markable force and power. Rev. Dr. Yates, of the Front' Street M. E.

London, of Pittsboro, with his family, are on a visit to Mr. David G. Worth, at his Summer resi dence, on Greenville Sound. Urave Yard of a Prehistoric Age. Major W. L. Young has shown us a fine collection of phosphates procured from the lands of Mr. R. M. Middleton, near Warsaw. The collection consists of the phosphate rock in overy con ceivable form and size. The colors are represented; there is the black, blue, brown, yellow, gray and white and tri colors of every description. In this ancient grave yard there are found bones of every class and charac ter. The whole animal kingdom ap pears to be represented. There are bones of whales, sharks, sauriansand other marine animals and amphibia, tbe mastadon, bovines and a species of a wild, horse and land animals, all piled and mixed up together in one common sepulchre. Maj. Young, who is getting up a col lection tor the State; Exposition, has already procured many singular and wonderful specimens. Many of hese are of great scientific interest as they show the. jPeculiar types of the North Carolina deposits. In this collection there are a great many copo lites, and the faces of dead animals, and in some instances even the instestinest maw and lungs have become phosphoi ated and changed to stone. Thcro have already been procured rare and beautiful specimens of phos phorated woods of many kinds and wood charred by fire before it was changed to phosphate rock. Some of the wood has been fashioned out by tbe band of man showing tbe evident marks of edged tools. Dr. Palmer, of the Smithsonian Institute, who has examined this collection, says the tool, marks were made by copper I axes used 'by a prehistoric race. MONDAY. AUGUST 4, 1884. NOfl84 Ti Moon in August. The August moon full3 on the 6th (Wednesday) at 6 minutes after 6 o'clock in tbe evening, standard time. She is in conjunction with Neptune on the 13th. the day of her last quarter, and with Saturn on the 16tb. She makes a close'coDj unction with Venus on the 17th at 37 minutes after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, being then 23 minutes north. The waning crescent and tbe radiant morning star will make a love ly celestial picture on the morning ot the 17th, though they are invisible at the time of nearest approach. On the 30tb, the day of her chauge, the moon will b&-at her nearest approach to Jupiter. The two-days-old moon will be near Mercury on the evening ot the 22d, passing 32 minutes north, an' event that snarp-signted observers may behold. , She will pass Uranus on the same evening, and close the circuit by a very close conjunction with Mars, being 10 minutes north on the 24th at 29 minutes after 10 o'clock in the morn iog, but a3 the conjunction takes place in daylight, it can only bo seen in the mind's eye. It will be noticed that the moon pas ses very near Venus on the 17th, Mer cury on the 22d. and Mars on the 24th. She will occult these three planets to observers more favorably situated, or to those whose position corresponds to that of imaginary observers at the earth's centre. This is calledthe moon's geometric position. It means that if a line be tlrawn from the centre ot the earth through the moon it will reach the planet and she will occult the three planets on the dates specified. Obser vers fortunate enough to have a position where this imaginary line cuts the earth's surface will see the moon, sail ing through space, hide from view Venus, Mercury, and Mars in turn, the three occultatiousj taking place within thellimitof seven days. The opportunity would be a favorable one for an excur sion to the centre of the earth. Criminal Oourt.- The August term of this tribunal convened at the Court House at 10 o'clock this forenoon, His Honor Judge O. P. Meares. presiding, and Solicitor B. R. Moore appearing in the interest of the State.
