SEPTEMBER Celestial Fi re works. A meteor of unusual appearance IKisseil over the city on Thursday night alxmt 0 o'clock. It arose in the East and passed over to the West, South of the zenith. Its progress w:is very slow, and as it passed it emitted two ex plosions, in each instance throwing off a ball of fire which broke into myriad fragments of blue light, and ! yet not checking itK course but continuing on to tlw East w hero it finally exploded not far from the horizon. 1 It was in appearance very much like a sky-rocket with Roman candle altaehments. Scarcity of Ice. There has been "a 'scarcity, of ice in the city during the past few , days, which, however, it is but just to state, is not properly the faultof the dealers. Mr. Ahrens has a cargo nearly a week ovcrdSoand Messrs W. E. Davi3 & Son have one now due. , Both tft' these are daily, almost hourly, 1 expected, There is no restriction on the supply demanded by consumers, however, as car loads are daily received from other points, bat there has been an increase in the price of J cent per pound, in conse quence ol the increased cost of the sup-. plies. The two cargoes expected will probably be hero to-day or to-morrow. when the supply will be plentiful at the old prices. I . , The. Late Storm. From the published accounts of the recent storm in Florida wo are sorry to learn that Mr. T. A. Darby, i formerly of this city, but now engaged extensive ly in the milling business at Cedar Keys, was damaged to (the extent of $10,000 by the loss of timber, damages to property, &c. This was certainly a heavy blow to any young man, but Mr. Darby's friends are consoled by the re flection thai the loss is j merely a loss and does not by any means impair Mr. Darby's financial standing. , Fast Time. The local nassemrer train No. 47, on the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad, I left this city Wednesday morning one hour and twenty-three mjnutes behind time and made up the time between here and Halifax. The run jwas made between Wilmington and Weldon in 4 hours and 50 minutes, though the actual running time was but 3 hours and 45 minutes. Eighteen stops were made and 1 hour and 5 minutes of the 4 hours and 50 minutes, was consumed. Mr. Stephen Meredith was the engineer who drove the iron horse, and Capt. Borden was the conductor, j Wo understand CapL B. declares that; in all of his jrail road experience he navcr saw V prettier run. The time inadc above is the fast est ever made by a 'local passenger train under similar circumstances over this road. ' Cattle Thieves. ' Thursday three fine cows were driven to-Mr. T. P. Sykcs1 butcher pen, in the northern: part of the city by lour 'color ed men who left them there and went offtohunVMr. Sykesup; He was go ing to the pen by one street -while they were coming down ' town by another and missed him. Air. jSykes saw the cattlo and when the men found him, about 1 o'clockl they offered to sell the cows for $35, which was very cheap, and voluntarily offered to .take $30 for the three when they thought ke hes itated. He then offered them $25 which they readily agreed , to l accept. Mr. S jkes at once ' concluded that the cattle had been Stolen' and slipped out to notify an officer but did not see. one in time to avoid suspicion. He then made an appointment! with the men to meet him at his store ou the corner of'Fourth and Red Cross streets at 8 o'clock, Thursday night,andmade arrangements with three constables tos come in on them at that timjj. The cattle dealers came promptly on time for the money but by reason of some misunderstand ing the officers did not keep their ap pointmenr. Mr. Sykes ( then put the men off until yesterday, laorn Ing, but they 'commenced to "swell a rafce," and went out to the pcii Thurs day night and tricld to get the cattle, but the watchman refused to let them but. About 10 o'clock, of the same j night, Peter Pickett .was arrested, and yester day morning Jim Anderson -!vas over hauled. Miles Cooper, who is wanted for larceny in another case, was one. of the four, a but hej 'another man, whose name is not kapii. havo so far eluded capture. No one about here knows of any cattle bavin? been miss ing lately, but the cows were evidently stolen. Mr. Sykes was told that they had been weighed, but the certificate of weight had been lost. Upon inquiry at the cattle yard it was ascertained that such was not the case. jThe men who have been arrested are known to be penitentiary birds. J I 1TY . " AV W W "Y A Fine Haul. 1 Messrs. W. E. Davis & Son made a fine haul yestenlay at their fisheries, at Federal Point. They caught about 150 large drum, which would average pro bably three feet in length, besides an al most eiual number of other large fish. Among the latter ! was a tarpiii, the strange fish in our waters, ono of which. it will be remembered, was caught by Messrs. Davis & Sou j-oiiic months ago, and forwarded to Prof. Baird,at Wash ington City, for classification, and by him pronounced a tarpin. The speci men of this fish caught yesterday was five fest in length. It has several pe culiarities one of which is the lare and beautiful scales, with' which it is covered; one of these, secured by us, measured 21x3 inches. The tarpin is a rare fish in these waters and the two caught by Messrs. Davis & Son are all thai we remember to have ever heard of as having been caught on the North Carolina coast. The Harvest Moon. . 1 The September moon fulls on the 26th at 11 :56 p. m. It is the beautifhl harvest moon and possesses special claims to the distinction. For," owing to the position of the ecliptic' hi regard to the equator at this season, the moon rises for several consecutive nights with only a comparatively small interval be tween the consecutive risings. The short autumnal days seem i thus to be prolonged by the floods of silvery moon light that make the night beautiful as day. The phenomenon is as easily ex plained as the axial rotation of the earth. But in the older times, when man was nearer to nature, the harvest moon was considered a direct interposition of Providence to assist the Jiusbandman in gathering in the harvest. The wan ning moon was in conjunction with Neptune on the 2nd, with Saturn on the 3d, with Jupiter on the 5th, and with Uranus on the 12th. The new moon of the 12th was in conjunction with Jkfer cury and Mars on the 15th, and with Venns on the 16th, passing a degree and a half north of her. , . ' "" ' " ' ' P '" "" T .11 mi j .
