A Water Melon Phenomenon.
East evening we were shown a
rather remarkable iroak of nature in
the way of a water melon which was
raised by Elias Queen, colored, on
the farm where originally stood old
Camp Parole AY hen the melon was
cut iuto, the letter “YV” was formed
by the meat ol this luscious fruit on
one side, and a perfect and visible in
dentation of i he lines of the letter “W”
remained on the other side. Rather
a phenomenon in the water melon
production, and so remarkably strange
did it appear to Elias that he threw
his cloak of superstition over it, and
refused to eat of the fruit thereof, and
straightway took it to Mr. Geo. M.
Duvall, a man in whom he had im
plicit confidence. Mr. Duvall, being
struck with the singular impression •
of the fruit, brought it to the Capi
tal office.
A Oystermeu’s Club.
Some of our enterprising and stur
dy oystermen have suggested the
idea of organizing what is to be
known as the “Oystermcn’s Club,”
having for its chief end and purpose
the digeussiou among themselves the
beuefits and defects of the present
oyster law. This is a good idea ;
they are men who are capable of
taking a sensible view of everything
that has reference to the breeding
and catching of oysters. Let them
commence it at once and invite every
now and then, at their meetings some
one, who is personally acquainted
with salt water bivalves, to address
them on the value of a good and
more perfect oyster law and the short
comings of the present existing
law.
Melons Peaches and Potatoes. *
The receipts of peaches yesterday
at Baltimore amonnted to about 8,000
boxes, principally Smocks, which sold
in the morning at from 90 cents to
sl.lO, and in the afternoon from sl.lO
to $1.20 per box. Reds brought from
65 cents to sl. The packers wore at
work on tomatoes, and paid but little
attention to peaches. Sweet potatoes
were abundant, but the demand was
good, and prices ranged from $2.25 to
$2.50 per barrel. Watermelons took
a jump owing to light receipts and
outside orders. Fine selects sold at
from $lB to S2O per hundred, and
; prime lots $6 to $lO.
Many Thank:
The donor oi the water meious and
large tomatoes, that wrere sent to the
sanctum of the Capital this morn
ing, will please accept our thanks.— (
Had he not requested to the contrary ,
we would be pleased to give bis ]
name and speak of his wholesoul and ,
generous qualities, A kind man, J
however never desires his kind acts
to be known or published* ]

The Canning Business. 1
The packing houses situated in
this county have all done a good bus
iness the past season in the w r ay of
canning vegetables. The packing
house of H. L. Shipley, on the line
of the B. & P. R. R., have put up
quantities of tomatoes, gaecn peas,
corn, and early' fruits. The canning
houses North Severn have, like
wise?, pat up an abundance this year
of all kinds of vegetables, fruits, &c.
A large cauner, of the third district
informed us, a few days ago, that it
paid them to cau their goods far bet
ter than selling the vegetable and
fruits in season at the secrificing
prices. Messrs. T. C. Boone, Rock
litz and others, have entered largely
tnto this business of late years, and
have added every improvement to
their packing establishment to em
brance their business. Why then
is there not an establishment of this
kind in our city in succeasfull opera
tion is a mystery to many, It is
certain that all of our merchants deal
more or less in these goods, and this
patronage alone would almost sup
port a home canning establishment.
Let some enterprising captalists move
iu this mattec, aud w r ith iudicious
management w*e venture the asser
tion a successful business would fol
low.

A Leaf of Lepidopterous Insects.
We wrere shown this morning by j
Dr. W. G. Tuck, one of the most as
tonishing curiosities that w r e have
ever beheld. It was a leaf from a
silver popular tree formed in the
shape of a cornucopia, and at the end
where the stem elongated, tnere was
an aperture. While bolding it in his
hand none of the bug inhabitants of
the leaf cornucopia were perceptible.
It weighed fully an ounce, and when
it was laid upon a table lo and behold!
a regular concealed family of lepidop
terous insects about an inch in length
came forth to the number of at least
forty. Woe be unto other trees,
whether fruit or shade, if these infec
tious insects get a hold of them.
Advice to Parents.
Now that tfie school year has com
menced, and the classes in the various
private and public schools have been
organized and graded, a grave and
indispensible duty and obligation rests
upon each and every parent and
guardian that they see to it that their
children and w’ards are kept regularly
in their daily attendance at school.
By all means they should not permit
them to be out of the house beyond a
reasonable hoar at night, and see that
their time at home is employed in
studying their school lessons.
