Queen Grandee and Excelsior Lodges of Charlotte, will give a grand excursion to Columbia on the 27th inst., on which occasion they will institute a new lodge, to be called Purity Lodge, in that-city. , A Total Eclipse of the Sun. ' On the 20th of July next will occur an astronomical event of great interest a total eclipse of the sun which will I be visible generally in the United States. The eclipse will be visible from 4 to G o'clock in the afternoon. The path of totality in this eclipse, runs diagonally acrose the i centre of the' United States from Montana to Texas, and is between 120 and 150 miles wide. A Family Reunion. 1 Quite an interesting event for the mem bers of one of the oldest famiies in this city will take place here on Friday next the 10th inst. On that day Mrs.: Mary J. Langdon will celebrate her birth day an niversary and her children and grand children will all be prcsant on itbat oc prcs casion. The children are Dr. Samuel Langdon, of Stockton, Cal., who with his wife and, child is expected hero to-night; Mrs. A. D. Young, of this city; Capt Paul, H. Langdon, of Augusta, Ga., and family, w!ho will be here in a day or two; Capt R. F. Langdon, of this city, and Dr. Walter II. Langdon, with his wife and child, of Stockton, Val , who arrived here a few days since. Robbed and Burned. This morning, just before day, a sjore on Mr. Jno. F. Garrell's plantation, Sans Souci, abaut two miles from the city, was robbed and fired. Two men, employed by Mr.'Garrell to haultmeat to market, heard a noise in the store when they passed it on their way to the butcher pen, but thought nothing of it, and proceeded on their way. A few minutes later theyj discovered the store to be in a light blaze, and gave the alarm, which brought the farm hands out, who did all in their power to save the stock, but had to turn their .attention to the dwelling, which was about twenty or thirty1 yards from the store. I "Men were placed upon the roof, and by continuous application of water, saved the dwelling. About fifty dollars worth of groceries were sacd, and the ba'afice was either stolen or burned. Mr. Garrell had S400 insurance on his stock and $400 on the building, and estimates his loss to be about $600, over and above the insurance. I Jt is thought that the store was first robbtd and then fired, as coffee-grains were strewn aloDg the ground to the main road. The stock was valued at $S00 and the building at $400. I Carpenters have been sent this morning to commence rebuilding, and Mr. G. is in hopes of having the building up in a few days. ; 1 Excellent corn Bread. I One cup of corn meal, one cup of flour, one cup of sweet milk, one egg, one tables poonful of sugar, and two teaspoon -fuls Dooley's Ykast Powder, mixed with the meal and flour while dry. Xorih Carolina Medlcai Journal The April number of this excellent pub lication, as far as its typographical execu tior' is concerned, is an improvement on the other numbers, although there seemed to be nothing lacking, in this respect, in the first numbers. An article on the "Source of Cartagtum in Towns," bv Dr. DeRosset, is of more than professional interest, and of itself makes a chapter of auxiliary value for the State Board' of Health, and we will make room for it in some future issue. An article on a new method of examin ing the pulse, shows how vast and rapid are the improvements being made in all the mechanical appliances fur i detecting disease, but nothing of the sort astonishes us since the telephone has been discover ed. , . i . There is another article in this Journal of public interest. It is entitled "The American Mountain Sanitarium for Con sumption"! by Prof. Chaille of New Or leans. The advantages of the climate of Asheville for the cure of consumptives is set forth in such a convincing way, and by such high authority, that we predict that at no remote - say, invalids. Will' il,jCk there as ' a few years ago they flocked to Florida Let those afflicted with consumption and their friends read this article 'and convince themselves, as we are con vinced, fur we could detect no word of exaggeration in it. The Paris and New Yorkiletters seem to compass all the current items of'.mcdical progress, or if not, there is enough to engage the attention of the student and busy practitioner. I By alj means, gentlemen cf the medical profession, support your own Journal liberally. Subscription is 3.00 a year, in advance. Addrees P. O. Box 535 Wilmington. Brunswick and Duplin. From the list of crop reports made from the various counties to the Agricultural Department, we copy two , from counties in this section, Duplin and Brunswick, as they appear this week's J amwii & Mechanic: DUPLIN CCUSTY. Corn, an average crop planted; what is up is doing well; cotton, 25 or 30 per cent, more planted and to be planted and looking finely; millet is planted on a small scale. Prospect good so far, for fruits of all kind. All are planting -chut a who can get the seed. It is one of the greatest hogs food that we have ever had. There Will be a large stock of honey made this y ear. Sheep can be raised with profit, if the stray dogs were killed and a tax on all that are left. We pay ja tax on sheep, why not on dogs? There is an improve ment in the breed of cattle and hogs. Hog cholera is raging in some jparts of the county. Nd manufacturers nor machin ery. No stock law. There are fine thrash ers in the county; 50 per cent, more fer tilizers used than ijast year .' BRUNSWICK COUNT V. But little can be said of the prospects of crops as yet. The average of cotton and peanuts will fall short this year about 10 per cent., when corn and pota toes will increase about 10 per cent. Wheat and " oats are not looking very well, .and the stand is bad. Fruit pros pectj is very good. There is but little attention devoted to sheep- raising there being no protection from the worthless curs, which are astonishingly numerous; but when that dog law is passed every farmer will have a flock, which will show a larger net' profit than any investment that he may have. ( .Wo have no stock law and don't jthink we ever will as there is little attention paid to improviug our breeds, Speci mens of our crops will be sent you in due time. I The Thermometer.

C.7I Circular saws Proverbs that go the round of society, i This delightful May weather is emi nently suggestive of pic-nics. ; The U. S. District Court, in session hee this week, adjourned last evening. The Colonnade Hotel, Philadelphia, Ta., is noted tor its fine location and the unsur passed elegance of its appointments. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Wilmington Gas Light Company will be held at their office in this city on next Monday morning. . The Congressional Convention. In accordance with the notice given bv the Chairman, Mai. C. Mi Stedman, the Democratic Executive Committee for the Third Congressional District w ill meet in this city to-morrow morning,, at I 10 o clock, at the Purcell House. On this Committee will devolve the duty cf namisg the time and plate for holding the Convention, and we respectfully sug gest to the gentlemen of the Committee that there is no place in the district which presents such advantages for t he purpose as does our own city of Wilmington. This is the substantial centre of the district and it is here that the principal interest has of late centered. Besides, those who mav be the delegates can combine business wi.h politics by a visit to Wilmington and our city would not be the sufferer in the end. We suggest thse views to the gentlemen of the Committee, satisfied that they will at least meet with a cour teous consideration. I A Little Spark. At about 12 o'clock !to-day the large shed on the premises formerly occupied by Messrs. Vick & Mebane, on Nult street, near the W. & W. and W. C. Vr A. freight depots, was discovered to be on fire on the top. The employees of the road and others rushed to the rescue and after a short but vigorous fight sup pressed the flames. The fire is thought to have originated, from a spark falling on the roof. The alarm did not become general and the damage was very light. Harbor Master's Report. From 'Capt.
