Board of Health.
The Board of Health of New Hano
ver county met in regular session last
evening. The subject under discussion
was the water supply and the sanitary
condition of the city. Several sugges
tions were made looking to the improved
sanitary condition of the city. On the
14th all work of excavating for the wa
ter works will cease except in the sand

three inches across the hips, four feet
eight inches from arm to am, or across
the upper part of the body, five feet
around the body, aad twenty inches from
the lower jaw to the upper jaw with the
mouth wide open. His gatorship was
killed by Mr. James Shaw, of Pender, at
his father's landing. The hide has been
preserved and will be made to serve a
good purpose.
Col. Burr in ftevt berm
In its account of the ceremonies on
Memorial Day in Newbern, the Nut
Shell of that city thus refers to the ad
dress of our fellow-townsman, Col. James
G. Burr, who in response to an invitation
from the Ladies' Memorial Association
of the Elm city, consented to make the
annual oration; says our cotemporary:
'Col. Burr's address was a master effort.
Good judges claim that it was the best
ever delivered here. Vhile, in many
respects, it was similar to all other ad
dresses delivered on such occasions, the
speaker interspersed in his remarks
many beautiful and original ideas, and
expressed able and eloquent thoughts that
could only emanate from a talented and
cultured mind."
Planetary Eyents Burins: May.
At 5 o'clock Wednesday morning
Yenus passed between the earth and the
sun, but, as her dark side was turned to
the earth, was invisible. In a short time,
however, she will reappear on the west
ern side of the sun as morning star, and
before the month closes her radiant
presence will grace the dc.wn for an
hour and a half before sunrise. Venus
is now at the same point, only invisi
ble in passing the sun, as she will be
in December, 1882 ; but then her bright
side will be turned toward the earth,
and she will be seen all over America,
making a transit or crossing the sun's
disc. The last transit, in 1874, was the
occasion of millions of expenditure in
fitting out expeditions to different
countries where it was to Le
visible. The observers of - the
transit of 1882 will witness
a rare phenomenon, that will not occur
again until 2004, one hundred and twenty-two
years hence. The most beautiful
celestial picture of the month occurs on
the morning of the 26th, for the waning
moon will be near Venus, Saturn and
Jupiter, though she passed her conjunc
tion with them all on the previous day.
As Venus rise on that morning about ten
minutes after 3 o'clock, Saturn ten min
utes later and Jupiter about ten Min
utes after Saturn, if the sky is clear, it
will be safe to promise a superb planetary
show, well worth taking pains'to witness.
The new moon of the 27th throws her
shadows over a portion of the earth, and
causes a partial eclipse of the sun, invis
ible here.
The Ladies of the St. John's Rectory

More Trouble.
Jacob Wilson alias Walter Wilsan,
colored, now languishes in jail in default
of the payment of costs in Squire Gard
ner's .court. It seems that Wilson owed
Alice s Bishop also colored, money for
board, and that Alice had possession of
Wilson's trunk which she was keeping in
"chancery" until the board bill was paid.
While the woman was absent from, her
dwelling Wilson by raising a window in
the house got in "and took his trunk off.
He was arrested for the offence' and is
now in jail for costs. .
A Health Officer Arrested
Capt. Francis M. James, one of the
Health Officers ot the city, was arrested
yesterday on a warrant sworn out by G.
W. Herring before Justice Gardner.
Health Officer James is charged with
forcible trespass. He condemned and
sent out of market yesterday ferty-four
bunches offish, the property of the pros
ecutor, who claims that the fish were mot
unsound. A preliminary examination if
the case was had to-day, but Justice
Gardner withheld his decision until to
morrow. It is thought that if the plain
tiff gams the case he will institute a civil
suit against the city for damages.
The Bazaar and Festival.
The first eveaiug tf the Bazaar and
Festival by the ladies of -St. Joha's
Rectory Club was only partially suc
cessful last evening, but the ladies hope
for better things and a more -thriving
patronage this evening and to-morrow
evening. The entertainment offered to
visitors :is a Hall beautifully decorated
withflags, and brilliantly illuminated
with gas, in which are tables containing
choice pieces of handiwork, elaborately
finished, and other tables on which are
tempting viands and refreshments of
every kind, behind which wait some of
the fair maids amd matrons of the Club
to serve the customers who may favor
them with an order for their goods or
chattels. The, flower stand was among the
most beautifcl things we saw in the hall
last night,while the table with the faney
articles and needle-work, iu cur judg
ment, came next in point of attraction.
The Music and Art Gallery Was said to be
highly interesting and "trooly amoosing'
as the late Artemus would say. But
of that we do not spreak from observa
tion, but from hear say. The balloting
for the different prizes jwill be continue
to mght and on each succeeding night
until the close of the Festival.
The record at the polls stood last nigh
as follows:
Toilet set for the most popular young
lady in Wilmington Miss Jtsie Myers
20, Miss Loula Parsley 7, Miss, Jaaie
Parsley 5, and so on scattering down to

prevailing colors for spring bonnets.
Small, straight jackets, not quite
