At 3 o'clock this afternoon the ther mometer in this office registered 88 de grees. At 12 o'clock it was at 93, but the mercury soon fell when the rain storm came up. Nearly all with whom we have spok en upon the subject complain that the watermelons this year are not near as good and luscious as usual, and v at tribute the cause to too much wet weather. . Yesterday was the hottest day thus far this season, the thermometer at the signal station indicating 94 degrees. The hot wave is travelling South and has not yet reached Atlanta, but will probably bit that place hard by to-morrow morning. Some sections ot this county have been blessed with so much rain as to ensure good harvests and we learn that in some places the crops are suffering for moisture. It is to be hoped that the showers of to day reached those sec tions and that vegetation will flourish in consequence. Our good friend, Mr. W. W.

The attendance of spec tators was not so large as upon previous occasions. , TlioWeatlier. Fro ai all the reports received from other large towns and cities ic appears that Wilmington was the coolest city yesterday in the State. - At Weldon the thermometer indicated 100 degree?, at Raleigh 102 decrees and in other places considerably above the 91 decrees ins dicated here. Oar people, without a dissenting voice, were emphatically of the opinion that it waa hot enough here, and when we hear of the heat at other places we are satisfied to remain here and keep as cool as the nature of our duties and the condition of the atmos phere will permit. Criminal Court. The following have been tbo proceed ings before this tribunal since our last report: State vs. Edward Thomas and An drew Russ, assault and battery.

He will be obliged, however, to carry his wounded arm in a sling for some weeks longer. Graduated. We notice in the AugU3ta Chronicle, among the list of graduates at Athens, Ga.. recently, the name ot Mr. P. D. Langdon, son of Capt. P. H. Langdon, formerly of this city, but now of Au gusta. In its comments the Chronicle says: The most meritorious performance by the Augusta delegation, however, is that of young Langdon in carrying off the degree'-of A. M. It is not often that a boy can take A. M. and the measles the same year, but l'aul has done it, and come3 out unscathed from the contest. Unless we are misinform ed, bo is the first Augusta man to take this degree since W. II . Fleming, Esq., bore it off several years ago, anu is perhaps the youngest man who ever took it at the University. Augusta is justly proud of the standing of her boys at conege, aim iuu iituihlo that the success which has crownea their lives at school may follow them through life. The ludustrial School. The first regular working session of the Brooklyn Hall Industrial School was held at 4 o'clock yes erday after noon. The heat was almost overpow- ering. out notwitnstanuing una iact there was a large attendance of officers, teachers and pupil?. The hours appros priated for ihe session were devoted in a great measure yesterday to the ar rangement of the several c'sscs and to the perfecting of plans for the greater usefulness of the school. The officers and teachers were imbued with an ear nestness of purpose and a devotion to the work which spoke well for the futura of the enterprise, and the children, rang ing from four to twelve years, of age. were delighted with the novelty and attractiveness of the occasion. Tie meetings will bo held regularly on each Wednesday, afternoon, befiinning at 4 o'clock and closing at 6 o'clock. .. . . -- . ; . . . - . - j . i ... - v . . . H ; Indications - - . . . - .

At about 2 o'clock thfs afternoon the city was visited by a refreshing and much needed shower which had the effect of materially cooling the atmos phere. The rain poured- down quite briskly for awhile and the peal3 of thunder were frequent and the flashes of lightning vivid, but we have heard ot no damage to person or property as yet. ":; - - -' ' " ' ' Struck by JLijfhtniiigr. There were very heavy . showers yesterday atternoon along some por tions of the lino of the '.Carolina Cen tral Railroad. At Laurel Hill the thunder and lightning were torrific. The oIec:rk5 fluid struck ' and almost entirely demolished the storehouse ot Mr. J. F. McNair, at that place. This is the only serious damage of which we have heard. No persons were injured so far as we have been able to learn. The New Postage Kates. It seems from the experience otpost oflice officials that the ratc3 of postage fixed by the new law, which went into effect on the 1st inst., are not fully un derstood by tho whole public. The clause fixing the rate of drop letters at ono cent applies only to postoflices where the carrier system is not in oper ation. Where letters are collected and delivered by carriers the rate for a loca' or drop letter is the same as for one to be transmitted by mail, namely, two cents. A Caution. This is an intensely hot season of the Summer, and people cannot be too care fnl in what they eat and drink as well as to avoid as much as' possible undue exposure to the rays of the sun. Parents should be extremely cautious in these matters with their little children - and should exercise a strict scrutiny in re gard to the quality as weil as quantity ol food the little ones cat, and should not permit them to be exposed any more than possible to tho sun. This is emphatically a season to invite disease and more than ordinary care is requis ite to prevent its attacks. Little chil dren, with ho knowledge or thought of possible consequences, are liable to eat and drink entirely too much, especially if the food is luscious, and they will not hesitate lo romp and race in the sun, to their certain injury, if they are not held in check by tho wisdom' and care of their parents or others having authority over them. Teach them to eat sparingly and do not permit them to get overheated'in their play and the physician's bill will be lighter and the anxiety and solicitude of watching over the couch of a helpless .and suffering loved one will be obviated. Do not forget the Lawn Party which is to be given to-morrow night in the Parsonage yard by tho Young People's Association of St. Paul's Lutheran Church. This Association is composed mainly of the German young ladies and genllcanen of the city, and they will do all in their power for the entertainment of their guests. The moonlight excursion to the Hocks, on the steamer Passport, next Tuesday night will be one of the very best of the season. Good music for dancing, free use ot the bath houses and a tip top shcepbead supper, gotten up in Mrs. Mayo's best : style, will be among the inviting features of the occa sion.
