The Hornet Fire Company of this city cele brated the 20th of May in a most becoming manner. A fine looking body of men, their appearance was creditable to : them and our city. ; The company -." started from their hall, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and parad ed the principal streets of the city. Their hose reel Was decorated with flowers, which were furnished by lady friends of the mem bers. The cadets of the Military institute, under charge of Col J P Thomas and Lieutenant Lynes, paraded with the fire company, and their presence and appearance 'added to the interest and attractiveness of' the occasion'. They are as fine and intelligent looking a body of young men as are, to be met with. They are splendidly drilled and move in the most perfect order. ; After parade a trial of the engine was had. It worked beautifully as usual. ' ' At night a banquet, was held at the hall of the company. Quite a number of invited guests were present and a most delightful time w&s had. Drinkables of ejVery sort and description were abundant, and as the eve ning wore on . A Thl mirtli -atttfTBrr grew test and furious Speeches Were made in response to calls, by Col H C Jones, Capt R A Shotwell, Col Chas R Jones, and oilier gentlemen. Brim full, as it was, of the 20th of May, the crowd gave itself up to enjoyment, and certain it jvus a more enjoyable time could not have boen had. We regret that the pressure upon oiir columns will not admit ot our giving a more elaborate notice of the festiyities.of the eve ning. A Homicide in Cleavelaud. Our Shel- by correspondent, under date of the 19th inst, writes us as follows : , On Sunday, 17th May, a tragic affair took place at Kings Mountain depot, on the Air Line Railway. Wm El wood shot in the head and killed instantly Mr 8andford. The cause of the homicide is involved in mystery Some assert that it was premeditated- that a quarrel took place several days before oth ers deny this and believe, as El wood states, that the shooting was accidental, and thai the parties were on very friendly terms, and boarding in the same house. On Sunday: Elwaod showed his victim some pistol cartridges; Sandford in a friend ly manner asked him for Some of them; to which Elwood replied : "Step aside here and I will give you a load of them;" Elwood and Sandford then walked together a few steps when Elwood, pistol in hand, said, "Step back, you are too close to me." Sandford obeyed; then the pistol was discharged and its contents entered the head of Sandford, causing instant death. Elwood then said to1 a witness : "I have killed him and may the Lord help my soul.'.' This took place at Mr James Falls' house, one witness present. Elwood asserts that it was accidental, and that they were good friends. ' Defendant was arrested and brought to Shelby, before Magistrate F L Hoke, who committed; bjtn to jail. He was taken yes terday by Sheriff Logan, to Charlotte and will appeatbefore Judge Logan. " "Elwood is a native of Rutherford county. Both he and bis victim were working on the Gold Mines at Ivings Mountain. This is . a sad affair. ., Tic Toodles. The party referred to above was brought before Judge Logan yesterday afternoon, on a writ of hibeas corpus and was remanded to await bail, which was placed at $1,000. Maj H D Lee, 'tf Lee & Durham, Shelby, appear here as counsel for Elwood, who arrived in the city "yesterday morning, under charge of Sheriff, Logan and .Mr Lawson Hamll.j Tuekasege Ford. Somebody has written something. about 'linked sweetness long drawn out." We never understood it before. As we. write with the remembrance of the - popping . of Champagne bottles lingering in bur memory , and a vague sensation, bordering; on head ache, in consequence thereof; with the re collection 6f Tuekasege , Ford, Salisbury Spring and the genial, whole-6ou!od crowd who picniced at that i point on . the - 20th ; when we recur to the festivities we enjoyed , at jtne recent ; .Tress t convention'; we can begin to realize that there is something of "sweetness" still ift this cold nncharltahle world.- -V- i 'P.r- -." ' . ' On the 20tb Charlotte was'.expected to put on her Sunday toggery, 'and, laying'-: aside business, to giyeitself up. to the celebration of thega-lbrious 20tbi a day ever sacred; in the annais'of the State." a A peculiarly oner pus burden fell to the share of the Observes, as 'its jftrgoa eyes ere expected to-see every- thing, and its presence feb be everywhere. In accordance with the necessities. of ; the -case one edition of the Obsebvee was detailed to attend the picnic at Tuekasege ; another was directed. &x accompany ; the , firemen to the scene of their festivities near " oft Miljs ; another must attendr ar' report tie proceed ings of the State Medical.

We awoke at 6-10, just an hour and ten minutes behind time ; we fully realized that. "Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," had tresspassed upon time which had been set apart for Tuekasege. After a hasty break fast we were soon-sea ted in a cabriolet, be hind one of Wadsworth's best horses, and with that gentleman himself for a boon companion, we were ready to make up the lost time on the road. " At ."Salisbury Spring" we found forty or fifty about as genial fellows as ever assem bled on, a picnic excursion, who, after the arrival of the ration wagon proceeded to get in trim for a regular good time. At twelve o'clock dinner was announced, and after dinner the usual quantities of toasts, speech es, &c, &c, were thrown in as a part of the proceedings. While partaking of the sump tuous dinner the party enjoyed a "feast of reason and a .flow of soul," after which the party spent an hour or so very pleasantly in discussing the merits of seve ral boxes of fine cigars, and other ct cetera, necessary for an occasion of this kind, which. the reader may imagine to be just what he chooses. We have only room now to Jsay that we left the scene of festivities somewhat in ad vance of the majority of the party and at this writing can only vouch for the Obser ves and the livery stable. P. S. Since writing the above W II H Gregory, Esq, the life and soul of the party, has arrived and reported for duty. TUB MEDICAL SOCIETY Wednesday's and Yesterday's Proceed ings. Wednesday was taken up by this associa tion iu the transaction of business uninter esting to all save its own members. The sura ical, instruments reFerred to in Wednes day's paper were put on exhibition and fav orably passed upon. 'After that the day was taken up in the reading of papers and essays by different gentlemen upon various medi cal subjects. Wednesday evening Dr A B Pierce delivered the annual oration before the Society, and we desire to, express here the regret that so few of the ladies and gen tlemen of the city were in attendance. It is usual for large crowds to attend the delivery of the anftuaT address, it being well under stood that this address is intended as much for the public as for the members of the Medical Society. The composition was an exceedingly able and elegant production, and those who fail ed to hear it missed something which no one could afford to miss. In the evening the gentlemen of the Socie ty met by invitation at the room on Trade street, formerly occupied by B Koopman as a niillinery store, where a banquet prepared by the resident physicians and the citizens was1 spread. There was a considerable amount of speech-making ; in this, outside of the medical gentlemen, our townsman, Col Wm Johnston, figured. The festivities continued for some time, and at their conclu sion the party dispersed with what quietude and sobriety that could be commanded. The Roard met yesterday morning at the appointed hour, and after the preliminaries usual, the following gentlemen were elected officers for the ensuing year t President Dr J M Jones, of Tarboro. Secretary Dr James McKee, of Raleigh. Treasurer Dr Bahnson, of Salem. It was resolved that the next meeting of this Society take place in Wilson on the 3rd Tuesday in May, 1875. About 11 o'clock, A M, the new President, D? Jones, was escorted to the chair, when the retiring President, Dr W A B Norcorn, delivered his address upon malarial hemor rhagic fever. This effort is spoken of by the fraternity as one of the ablest and most thoughtful efforts ever delivered before the Society. ' A vote of thanks was tendered Messrs R M Miller & Sons for the use of their hall dur ing the session of the Convention. Also a vote of thanks to the resident phy sicians and theitizens of Charlotte general ly for kind hospitalities. The Convention then adjourned to meet at fhe time and place above specified. 1 COMMUNICATED.) The Uoldeu-Ellis Conveutiou A .Ques tion.

For the Observer. ' v iwtielal Convention. Ta shbw that Mr Schenck was the choice beyond a doubt of the Judicial, Convention, I call your attention to the following facts : Col H C Jones, of .Mecklenburg, who was the leader of the opposition introduced the following resolution to wit : 4 Resolved, That in Toting, theoie be count ed according toi the Democratic - strength in the last Gubernatorial election. , ; For this resolution, "Mecklenburg and Rutherford, which constituted the opposing strength, voted, and it no doubt met the ap probation of those counties Now, according to this mode.

Mr Schenck had also 5 eounties to 2, and 5 Representatives to 3. Lookeb-on. For the Observer. In the Observer of the 17th inst. appears "A Card" over the signature of J. L. Carson, Esq., containing this statement ; "In Gaston county, as lam informed, one township de clared for Shipp and one for Hoke ; making her opposed to the present nominees. Yet strange to say not a single delegate from that county was appointed to the Convention at Lincolnton who favored either Shipp or Hoke. And the vote of Gaeton'was cast sol- irtlv fttrainsh hnth nf t.hpsp irpnHcmcn " This information is not in accordance I with the facts ; and in justice to myself, as well as to the other gentlemen who, as dele gates, represented Gaston county in the re cent Judicial Convention at Lincolnton, I will state the facts in detail as they ocjtffared. There are five township in Gaston county, and in each township, after due advertise ment, a primary meeting was held, at which delegates were appointed to the County Con vention. By these primary meetings in four townships, their delegates were instructed to vote for David Schenck for Conservative candidate for Judge in the County Conven tion ; iu the fifth, South Point-3fwrhip, no instructions were given. Only two town ships expressed a preference for Solicitor ; Cherry ville declared for Col. J. F. Hoke, and Cro wder's Mountain Township for Col. H. C. Jones. The County Convention was held at Dal las on the 2nd of May, where delegates were appointed or elected to the Senatorial, Con gressional and Judicial Conventions. In this County Convention instructions were giyen to delegates by a vote of town ships, and Mr. Schenck received the votes of all the townships, without a dissenting voice, up on the first ballot. In balloting for Solicitor, no choice was made on the second ballot Col. J. F. Hoke received a unanimous vote. With reference to the appointment of del egates to the three Conventions these are the facts ; each township elected its own dele gates by a vote of its representatives, and the delegates so chosen attended the Lincolnton Convention, and cast the vote of Gaston county as they had been instructed, except for Solicitor ; and in this they would have obeyed their instructions but that the gen tleman did not desire his name put in nom ination. I make this statement, not in reply to Mr. Carson, who has been misinformed, but merely to correct error and present the un varnished and unbiassed truth. B. C. Cobb. Dallas, May 19th, 1874.
