Heart disease was the cause of his death. Charlotte Chronicle : News was re ceived in this city last night from Cherryville, Gaston county, that the store of Meadlin & Bro., was burned on yesterday morning at 4 o'clock. This makes three stores that have been burned within the last month at that place. Without doubt it is the work of an incendiary. Dr. Howell was burned out one week ago. A grocery store a short while since was set on fire, but not burned. Charlotte Observer : The barn of Mr. James A. Harris, at Mooresville, was burned last Saturday night, by an in cendiarv.

No sentimentality should stay the foot of justice in this case. The murderer of Miss Turling ton should be made to answer for his fearful deed, and promptly. In the name or the people we call upon the authorities to exert at once every effort to this end. Charlotte Chronicle ; Mr. Johnie P. i Morris, of Crab Orchard township, was in the city yesterday carrying his left hand in a swing. The cause of this painful laceration of his hand was the explosion of a brass shell which he was capping. Quite sensation was created among the colored population of Frover on Thursday night over the killing of Till Murrah at the hands of Murrah Nicholess. It seems that a festival or party was held at the house of Nicholess, and Till, being under the influence of liquor, became boisterous" and was ordered to leave the house, but refused, when he was taken out by his friends. After re maining put a short time he returned to the door and demanded entrance, but was refused. After promising to be quiet the door was opened by Nicholess, when he gave Till a shove with his right hand and at the same time drew his knife and stabbed him in the left breast in the region of the heart, killing him almost instantly.

A PLEASANT AFFAIR. A School Party at Hookerton Collegiate Institute. Dec. 24th, the eyening of which had been set apart for a "School Party" at Hookerton Collegiate Institute, found many hearts somewhat burden ed with anxiety. It seemed that we were destined to go, if we went at all under a weeping sky, over a landscape made lurid by its tears. As the hour that ever is sacred to song approached, the mists were cleared away and we charitably sup pose the fair daughters of Greene devoutly repeated, Since all the downward tracks of time, God's watchfui eye surveys, O, who so wise to choose our lot, Or regulate our ways? At 8:30 the spacious hall was a liv ing picture of "From shore to shore." Old and young seemed to be living in the present. Judging from blushes that occasionally mantled the brows of some of the fair sex this ' 'Wrapping nonsense round" soon grew stale and monotonous. Many of the nobler sex could not truthfuliy say ' I have nothing to do with to-morrow," for to one who cries "Give me the face that varies with the thought," was plainly stamped, in eyery linea ment of those manly faces, a longing to hear at no distant day the promise that, ere the shades of many such eve nings fall, she'll exclaim "1 shi, all in all to me !" Presently strains of music fell upon our ear. Glancing around we found that preparations were being made for the especial engagement of those who could "trip on the light fantastic toe," Thus an hour or more passed away. Next "the Committee of Ar rangements" passed around a feast that all could enjoy fruits that had drunk healthful and toothsome sweets from the bosom of "Mother Earth" confectioneries and all honor due to the temperance of Greene. "Limpid water from a living spring." Just as the clock was trembling under the protracted agony of twelve strokes, the crowd dispersed, declaring them selves well pleased with the enjoy ment of the evening, for which they are indebted to the amiable and ac complished instructress, Miss Ger trude Hooker, and the unstinted gen erosity of the young men of Hooker ton and vicinity.

TOURS RESPECTFULLY, HMMERFIELnB s THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH. Stricken Down with Another Attack of Rheumatism. Washington, December 27i Pies ident Cleveland has been suffering from an attack of rheumatism in his right knee since last Friday, and was, therfore, compelled to forego the pleasure of a Christmas dinner at Oak View. Mrs. Folsom's guests on that occasion were Mrs. Cleveland, Col. and Mrs. Lamont, Marshall Wilson, wife and daughter, and Mrs. Cleve land's cousin, Miss May Hudlestone. The President is suffering from a re ttfrfi of the rheumatic attack of sev eral weeks ago, and from which he did not entirely recover. He is some what easier to-day. He remains in bed most of the time, although he oc casionally sits up. The President is very desirous that the public shall not be misinformed about his trouble, and instructed his physician, Dr. O'Reilly, to answer all inquiries by stating just how he is. Dr. O'Reilly says that the President is improving and could, he thought, be about to-morrow, but that he advised him to keep very quiet for a few days. He attributes the recur rence of the trouble to the President's unwillingness to remain quiet as long as he should when he was sick before. The President has, therefore, decided to see no visitors uhtill perhaps Thurs day. He is satisfied that there is no public business of importance deman ding his immediate attention, as there was when he was suffering before, and this enables him to give himself up entirely to resting. His other attack came upon him before his message was completed, and he continued to work when he should have remained quietly in his room. The present at tack is not as bad as the former one, and the pain is considerably less. The customary tri-weekly receptions to the public will be omitted for the present, but the President expects without doubt to carry out the programme for New Year's as it has been arranged. PIKEVIL.LE ITEMS. Well, the year 1886 is fast coming to a close! Christmas has passed, and the small boy who has been jubilant over holiday gifts and fun has again turned his face towards the school room, comparing his short vacation to the long and tedious hours to be spent until the next. A most distressing accident oc curred in this township within about four miles of Fremont, on Christmas morning. Mr. William Henry Wil liams and wife, and a neighbor, were shooting at a mark. Mrs. Williams proposed to shoot once; placing her finger on the hammer of the gun she re marked that she didn't know how to fix it, and releasing her holt the gun discharged, lodging fifty-five shot in tfaa head and breast of her husband, and causing instant death. Mr. Wil 114ms was a poor man,' but very in dastrions, honest and upright, , and his loss will be deeply felt by his grief stricken wife and four children, whoso condition is truly deplorable. May the Lord look , with pit v and compassion 'on the, innocent wife,who when last we heard, was nnder treat ment of Dr. Person, heart-broken and almost frantic from the distress she has caused. .
