For North Carolina, fair weather, preceded by light rain on the coast, slightly colder in eastern portion and stationary temperature in west ern portion. It is,we think, the largest ham we ever saw. It was brought here this morning by Mr. F. M. Foy, of Scott's Hill, and was on public ex hibition. It was from a Jersey hog raised by Mr. Foy and weighed 35 j pounds. We have the largest assortment of cook stoves to be found in the State to select from and at factory prices. We guarantee every stove to bake and cook well and to give general satisfaction. N.

Dun WILMINGTON, N C, THURSDAY. MARCH 21, j The Furlm Ball. The tenth annual Pqrim Ball, nn jder the auspices of North State ;JLotljre No. 222, L O. O. B., took place last night as- Concordia Hall, i It was largely attended and was 1 riinrniicrlil v fninvahlf The nroceeds c j J i of the entertainment were for the benefit of the District Orphan Asy- 1 lum and a handsome sum was S realized. The managers were Messrs. I. Macks. B. Solomon. Sol. C. Weill" and Samuel Bear, Jr.. and they are to be congratulated on the success which crowned their efforts. Tiie Republican lat. r The Republican primaries were held last night aftd resulted in the choice of A. J. Walker or W. H. Howe and (xeo. W. Price or Elijah Lane in the First Ward and Thos. Lawson and Cxeorge Bell in the Fifth Ward. The word "or" which we lave used means that both of the parties naiued claim the distin guished honor of the nomination. They can fight it out among them selves; we are indifferent as to the result. In the Second, Third and Fourth Wards no nominations were made. Hail Storm 50 Years Ago. Within the memory of the old est inhabitants the hail storm of Tuesday night was the most unpre cedentedly severe, with one excep tion, that has ever been known in this section. Some 50 years ago, or t hereabouts, there was a very severe one- so severe that cattle in the fields Were seriously injured and hu man lifes were lost. Three young men were in an open boat in the Sound somewhere between Middle Sound and Topsail and were caught in the storm. Two of them were killed by the stones and the third es caped only with serious injuries. Snow at Burgaw Yesterday. Our clever friend, Mr. J. T. Col lins, of Burgaw, was in the city to day and paid us a very welcome visit. From him we learn that the hail of Tuesday night did not touch Burgaw but that it was heard from further on. There was plenty of rain too much, in fact at Burgaw, however, on the night in question and yesterday there was snow there not much of it, it is true, bat still a distinct and well defined snow. Mr. Collins says that the truckers are retarded by the cold, wet weath er. He hopes to ship the first rad ishes next week. Two Distinguished Visitors. (Ten. Thos. L. Casey, Chief Engi neer of the U. S. Army, was in the city on Tuesday last, in company with Col. W." P. Craighill, Engineer in charge of this district. Gen. Casey is on a tour of inspection of the en tire South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Accompanied by Capt. Bixby and Mr. Bacon the two distinguised visitors went down the river on Tuesday on the steam tug Wood burg, returning on the Eaton. They made a close examination of all of the government works in the river and on the bar and we understand that Gen. Casey and Col. Craighill both expressed themselves as well satisfied with the result, commend ing the work of the. office here in high terms. Both gentlemen left here on Tuesday night, Gen. Casey for Charleston and Col. Craighill on his return to his headquarters in Baltimore. Last Nignt in Memorial Hall. The entertainment given last night in the Luther Memorial Build ing, for the benefit of the Organ Fund of St. Paul's Church, was in every way a delightful success. It was a pretty, pleasant musical me lange. The quintette rendered by Miss Minna Schwarz and Messrs B. French, W. P. Toomer, A. S. Hol den and John T. Grant was most beautifully rendered and was un stintedly applauded. Mr. Ot ten's rendition, as foreshadowed by us, was a surprise to his friends, not so much in its production, for all knew that he would do well whatever he undertook, but in the title, which was "Matrimony." Mrs. H. L. Vol- lers, Miss Lizzie Ulrich, Miss Kate rti , . , t,. . .

Some of these days we will all find out that the humble peanut, grown at our very doors, is a great reme dial agent. We know of an instance in this city where it cured a little gift of whooping cough and now Bishop Lyman claims that it will crK insomnia and dyspepsia. The Bishop's testimony is very valuable. He writes as follows to the Raleigh News and Observer: I think I have made a very valua ble discovery, and I am anxious that others should also enjoy the benefit of it- , For nearly two years I have 4lee suffering greatly from sleep lessness at night, and frequently have not been able to sleep more than one or two hours during the nigut. I have tried a great number of proposed remedies, some of which have helped me a little, but not for any length of time. A little more than a fortnight ago, while staying at the house of a -friend, in the country, my good hostess brought into the parlor, quite late in the evening, a bountiful supply of freshly roasted peanuts. As I am very fond of them, when they are not too much cooked, I ate quite freely of them, and soon after retired to bed. I found the next morning that I had enjoyed the best sleep I had experienced for over a month. I attributed this at once to the peanuts and determined to try them again the following evening. I did so, and also drank a glass of fresh, sweet milk after I had finished the peanuts. That night I slept still better, and now, for a fortnight, I have partaken of the peanuts and the milk every night, and have not only slept remarkably well, but have also fully recovered from a slight attack of indigestion j, which had troubled me before. I now find that peanuts, carefully roasted aud not over done, so as to be at all burnt, are surely a remedy for sleepless ness, and also for that form of in digestion which is one of the pro ducing causes of sleeplessness. There is a popular impression that peanuts are indigestible, but I have never found them so, unless they were too much roasted, or had been roasted many days before. When too much cooked, or when stale, they certainly are indigestible, but when carefully roasted and fresh, they promote digestion. They should be eaten shortly before going to bed, an.l not more than a half puft should be taken. They should be roasted before they are shelled, and shelled only as they are eaten. A half pint of shelled nuts would be too many. B' Nai IV Kith. A special meeting ofDistrictGlrand Lodge No. 5, Independent Order of B' Nai B'Rith, wilf be held on the 26th and 27th of this month in Sa vannah. After transacting the reg ular business, the convention will adjourn to Atlanta, where it will be reconvened on the 28th inst., for the purpose of receiving the orphan asylum recently erected by the or der in that city. Usually the meet ings of the order are biennial, and properly there shouldbe no meet ing until next year. Owing, how ever, to the opening of the asy lum a Special meeting will be held this month. North State Lodge, No. 222, will be represented at this meeting by Messrs. J. I. Macks, L. Brunhild and Isaac Bear. The B' Nai B'Rith is the largest Jewish benevolent and charitable order in the world. The organization extends over the United States and Europe.. District No. 5 is composed of the District of Columbia and the States of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Geor gia. The convention will be com posed of about ninety delegates from all parts of the district. As already stated, the special feature of the convention will be its acceptance of the orphan asylum. The building of this asylum was decided upon a number of years .ago, the number of orphans entrusted to the care of the district having increased so rapidly that it was found to be ne cessary. After competition between the various cities in the district, Atlanta was selected as the playe for tne asylum, tne citizens 01 inai city having subscribed the largest amount in proportion to the Jewish population. The asyUin will cost about $50,000, the ground having been purchased and the building erected and furnished by voluntary subscriptions thoroughout the dis- trict. The niemher-s of the order . . . . . , . have by a per capita tax and in va- rioas other ways raised about $50, - 000, the interest on which is to be , , used as a permanent endowment fund. ... . it 1889.
