Elsbagu, Prop., No. 27 Market st. tf The highest point reached by the thermometer in this office daring the Summer was 031 degrees, and we think that about expresses it.Tr .-. Eicebirds are unusually abundant now, and they are sold at Smtthville for 15 cents per dozen. The price asked in this city is 25 cents per dozen. The display ot apples, pears, grapes, figs and other kinds of fruit at some of the stores is truly tempting. We have never seen finer specimens in this or any other State. We hear it stated that a colored man claims that be killed eight dozen of rice birds at one shot a few days, ago, which is either a remarkable shot .or a re markable story. Thanks to Messrs. G. S.

A gentleman ot this city, while in conversation to-day with a gsntleman of Columbus county, had the hardihood to speak of Lake Waccamaw as a pond but fortunately corrected himself in season to prevent serious consequences. There has been a struggle for a storm for the last two days, but thus far it has been ineffectual. .There have been prognostications of a storm, followed by cooler weather, but they have all failed. f However, the equinoctial may be expected in a few days, so that a storm cannot be far off.

A partiy of hunters a few days since went on a deer hunting expedition from the neighborhood of Lake Waccamaw. in Columbus county, and met with un usual good lnck.

Tentlonl The Cantwell Light Guards will meet to-night at the Armory of the Wilming ton LfgbtSInfantry for drill and it is hoped that there may be a full attendance ot the members of the corps.

Green's setter dog Black" jumped from one of titf win dows of the office of Drs. Freeman & Baldwin to' the pavement below, at about 5 o'clock last evening, and strange to say, was not materially injured. He howled some upon first alighting, but was soon on hi3 feet again and . as nim ble as ever. It was a big jump, and it is a great wonder that the dog wa3 not killed, or at least so badly maimed as to make ' the killing of him an act of real mercy. Tally Ho!" This is the name of the play which is to be presented at the Opera House next Tuesday night. It was written for Mr. Robert L. Downing by Joaquin Miller, and is founded upon incidents in the life of Hank Monk', the stage dri. ver of the Sierras, who became famous to the world by driving the coach which conveyed Horace Greeley across those mountains. Mr. Downing appears as Hank Monk, and it is his acting which give3 character and thrilling interest to the performance. In speaking of the play and the actidg the Washington, D. C, National Republican, says : Bob Downing received a royal wel come at Ford's Opera House. Long balore the hour of opening every avail able seat was occupied. TalIy-Ho," the play, is a story of frontier life when that country was in its infancy. The interest centres around Hank Monk, the stage driver. It is fall of pathos and sentiment, and yet the humorous element is sufficiently prominent to re lieve it of undue sombreness. Mr. Downing made a capital Hank Monk. His magnificent stage presence, fine voice and excellent method fit him for the part, and in it he made a decided hit. The company was all that could be desired. The star and play scored a decided success Oolden Weddinr. Yesterday was the fiftieth anniver sary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrsa S. D. Wallace, and the event was made the occasion for the gathering together last night at their residence, on the cor ner of Red Cross and Fourth streets, of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in a happy family re union. The dwelling was brightly illuminated for the occasion and the hearts of the venerable couple were male lighter and brighter as they re ceived the earnest, loving congratula tions of their kindred. Each, of the guests came with some fitting golden present for the occasion, and the aged couple-were gladdened bythe reflection that the love which had joined them to gether in their youthfu1 prime had des cended to their children and their children's children to be made manifest in tokens of tender and affectionate re membrance. Fifty years of wedded life! What a rare event! What a sacred history those many years could unfold! How much of joy and grief, happiness and sorrow, hope and care and anxiety and confiding trust are written indelibly upon the minds of that a?ed couple! What tender reminiscences must have crowded upon their memories as they looked last night upon their happy, and affectionate kindred, who had come with reverent love, in their hearts to give them joy ou that memorable oc casion, and to hope for them - many more years of life and happiness tn this world. , Trade at the Old Reliable where you always find just what you want and everything of, the best make, and always for less money than you are asked for tho same quality of goods elsewhere.

' It is rumored ' that when a party of gentlemen from 1 this city go to take Waccamaw on a hunting and fishing expedition, a kind-hearted citizen ol that locality manages to coax a lot of squirrels up into one tree and hires a boy to watch them until the hunters arrive, so that they may be sure of finding something to shoot and not be compell ed to return with empty game pouches.

In sultry and oppressive weather the hot bath is of all others the most cool ing. No matter how heated the system water as hot as it can possibly' be endured is the safest and .most efficient relief.

Cholera infantum is quite as much a filth disease as Asiatic cholera; un wholesome or improper diet being the immediate cause and foul air and, gen erally unsanitary surroundings the pre disposing and aggravating condition. A good deal of real missionary work might be done among the poor in show ing mothers how to save , the lives of their infant children. Experienced phy sicians will tell ihem that care ot the diet is everything, but nine motbers In ten need more explicit directions. Over feeding, the almost universal mistake of American mothers, is one prime cause of digestive troubles, and doubt les3 many a fated baby might be saved by simply giving its over-taxed stom ach long intervals of rest. Rather Mulish. There was considerable of an excite ment for awhile this morning at the corner of Princess and Third streets, occasioned by an attempt to drive a conple of obstinate cows into the cattle pen near the jail. They were deter mined not to go and for awhile it ap peared as if they would be bosses of the situation, but after a good deal of shouting, racing and bard struggling on the part of the drivers, and after one of the latter had been most unceremoni ously thrown on the sidewalk, they were captured and gotten into the pen. One of the cows, a stub tailed, lank, scrawny specimen, gave the drivers several hard chases and she was the last one captured. It was poor fun for the drivers, . but there was plenty of sport for the bystanders, Not a House. There was bright light visible from the city last night in the direction 6 the Sound, and a report' was rife that it was caused by the burning ot the "Monk" house.
