As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, o is continued vigilance, honest, fair and upright dealing necessary to s access in bus ik'ss. Having from tlie outset (18 years appreciated these facts, and acted up on them, we find ourselves to-day rewarded 'vr the countless anxieties, vexations, and . iie loss of hoars of rest by seeiofc our long ;iri?hed. hopes realized, of making Ghar- Wholesale Mart, and ours ah exclusive Wholesale House. f n order to be more explicit, we have the sleasre of informing the mercantile world ihat we lmve leased the Buperh store, ad ,oining our present, (heretofore occupied by Mi'B-rs. Brem, Brown A Co., as their Dry .iods Store), whichwe,will 6Topr,hy first of September next farther retail trade only, amd will use onrp3cafrelegajBt and com modious store for an exchxrivei i $ WHOLES A1E HOUSE ihus civing to the trade a strictly "Whole sole Establishment,'' wherp they can make their selections from a Stock purchased for 'bat trade only, thn3 avoiding coming in contact, with a Retail Stock and Retail Bay rs. The advantages of such a. House are 'oo obvious to need further comment. To give the general reader a better con- eptimi of the colossal dimensions of our :o Houses we stat that we will have up wards of thirty thousand feet of superficial tioor room ; or if a lane of ten feet wide were formed of our stores, it would reach mnsiderably over half a mile. At the same time we inform our numer ous friends that our Mr. Hint els is now again North buying our second stock this son, and owing to the decline in goods, will again place us in a position to success nlly competewith all other houses.

A Curious Fact. Mr R F Grier, ofStee Creek neighborhood, has a ewe which gave birth this Spring to a lamb. In ten days af. ter it was born she gave birth to another and two weeks after this she became the mother of a third lamb all bom within weeks. This is the only insfauce of a thing of this kind on record, we believe, but it is true, for we have Mr Grk'r's own good word for it.. Newspaper Errors. If the public ever comes touaderstand ' the amount of work which haa to be put on a .daily paper, and the shortness of the time in which it has to be done. thenvUl it look more leniently upon the errors and mis-statements com mitted by the persons who habitually do the writing for those papers. A daily newspa per writer is always in a rush. He has none of the time for rest and recreation which other mortals have, but must give all his time, save perhaps about six hours in the morning, to his business and the public Everything must be done in a hurry, and after writing an article, he has not the time to re-write and re-dress it, but must let it go. just as it first came from his brain, and rush on to something else, upon hearing a piece of news he cannot spend half a day in hunt ing ud corroborative evidence, but must either withhold it entirely or pin it in and run the risk of its being true, promising al ways to correct. in the next issue if it is not It is all very fine for those who have com paxatively tvothing to do, to sit back and abuse an editor or reporter for what they are pleased to call his carelessness and inacT curacy, but they know nothing of what they are talking about, and in 'their minds con vict a man who has .done his very best to furnish them something new and interest ing to read, and who is correct in every minor detail a thousand - times where he ctfflmlta an-wroronci ' The Mew Stores-Before the Autumn-is far ad vanced there will'-befr Completed very great ImprovemejJts' in the business portion of Charlotte. The most notable of these are the stores being built by D Parks; Hutehi spn,: Esq.; and Dr T J Moore. "We. saw yes terday the plan, of the former 6re, ana can say that' it will be the mosti elegant store.in the city,' and very likely the most elegant in the Staler The architect is G B Croff, of Saratoga N Y The store will have a genu ine iron front and it cost wil be from $18,000 6 $20,000. ' It will have a basement and three upper stories. The third story will be uSed as a Masonic Temple, and will be built twi th that view, special 'arrangements having been made with Mr "Hutchison by the Temple Association TUo house .will be 135 feet in length and 46 in width. . Edward ikladden and R Moss have the contract to do the brick work," and F W . Ahrens is the contractor for the wood wor,k; ; This latter is superintended by R M Grimes, who has charge of all the outside work. The foundation of this store has already been built and the sleepers placed in position. , Ik is expected that the house will be finished by the first or middle of September, and When finished will be an ornament such as the city has not Inow.t , ' v The. store of Pr Moore, on Trade street ,1 is progressing rapidly Mt Thos Allisoh is the brick contractorqd has already laid about 75,000 brick.

The house will be a yery elegant and attractive ohe. It will be the same height (two large stories) as that oc cupied by Wittkowsky & Rintels, by which it will stand, and its " front will be of the same design. The brick work will be done in twenty days from this time, and it i3 in contemplation to have the stores ready to be occupied by the middle of July or first of August. - - ' There are other stores being built and other improvements being made In different parta of the city, to these we may refer at some future time. " Picnic In accordance with all arrange ments made and plans laid, the member? of ;he Presbyterian Sunday Schools of this city, had a picnic yesterday Moore's Ferry, on the Catawba river, going down the C C & A R R, on a chartered train." The crod Was a very large one, and six cars , were barely 1 able to hold it. Every one who attended, so far as we can find, gives in the opinion that the day wa3 spent, delightfully. All kinds of amusements usual on such occa sions, wero indulged in ; games, ftc, for those wfio felt that way inclined, and pri vate spots wlieTe tender couples,' who wish ed to discuss matters in which only they were interested. An elegant dinner was not the least important feature of the occasion - and this was discussed with a zial which on- y picnicers can command. The greatest abundance of ererything good bad been car ried along in certain mysterious looking baskets, and while of eadibles there were more than enough, of drinkables there were an abundance, for lemonade flowed almost as copiously as water. s The happy throng returned home about 7 o'clock, after having spent a day replete with happiness, unmarred by a single acci dent or anything else of an unpleasant na ture. Such occasions make all happier and bettet satisfied with themselves and the. world. Court Yesterday. The business yester day amounted to almost' nothing. The mor ning hour was consumed in various ways ; several orders were ljjade and several cases continued. In the afternoon the case of the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio Railroad as Wm Johnston et al, was taken frOm themotion docket and argued. The records show as follows in this matter: "A motion was made fey Mr. Guion to dis continue the Receiver, and that he settle with the Trustees (appointed by the Federal Court) Hons Anderson Mitchell and Jos H "It was moved also by Mr Barringer to vacate the Receivership and to depend upon the re-organization of the company under a new Board of Directors." Neither of these motions was granted, end this case remains in ttatv. quo. ;.Tbe only case yesterday of ahy note Was that ef V C Myers vs Z L Myers a petition for alimony, which petition was granted.

We have just received from the Leonard Scott Publishing Company, the May number of .Blackwood's Magazine, which opens with the continua tion of "Valentine and his Brother." The interest of the story increases, as the boys and their mother, who have been so strange ly separated, are drawing very near to each other. The article on "Hercules" was suggested by a recent picture the Alcestis of Mr. Leighton which the writer characteri2es as one of the most beautiful of modern pic tures. It is illustrated with copious trans lations from the Alcestis and Frenzied Her esies of Euripides-, and the Trachiuse of So phocles, all of which tragedies were founded on the legend of Hercules. The compari sons on the treatment ot the subject by the wo dramatists will be interesting to classi cal readers. "Conviyium Templare" is a festive scene, somewhat in the syle of the famous "Nbc- tes Ambrosiapse," and, like them, requiring minute local knowledge for full apprecia tion. In "Alice Lorraine, Part III," we are car ried to the lovely valley of the Medwav, and are treated to a graphic medley of fruit plcking, trout-fishing, and love-making in an old-fashioned Kentish farm. The-present series, Jfo. V., of Internation al .Vanities,'.' treats off Emblems. "The word emblem, in its national Application, 'represents to most of us a flag, and little else. But it has other meanings, too ; lfes important and less self-evident, it is true. LrvTu 7, Ka BUlwmtu r wv r" . Images of animals, badges, war-cries, vusa. ades, liveries, coats-of-arms, tokens, and tattooing, have all been-accepted symbols of distinction between races." A brief descrip tion is given of these various symbols, fol lowed by a very .entertainiug history of the French andother flags. . , "Dates and Dates," by Lord Lytton, a clever off-hand plea for fables,, by way of good-humored response to some recent crit icisms on "Fables in Song." Tn the "Budget arid tBe Income-Tax" we are told that "there is hardly any subject within the range "of English politics about which so much has been written and spo ken as the Income-Tax, and there is hardly any subject about which the public mind is so little matured."; A history of the tax in question follows this remark, and we are as sured, in conclusion, that it would be "'ex tremely unwise to part with the system by which a considerable revenue may with so little difficulty be raised.". .

During the Court at States ville, on Thursday, a case of considerable interest WaS decided, which we think inf portaflt enougfc to 4ay before the pttblki j In the year 1872 Wm Brinkley rented 20 acres of bottom land from Tyre Glenn, Esq. Yadkin county. The conditions of the agreement was that, if Brinkley , kept open certain ditches he would only pay two-fifths of the crop as ren t. I f said ditches were not kept open tbe lessee was to pay one-half r There were five 'hundred and seventy-five bushels of corn madev Giehn, the prosecutor in the case, claimed that the ditches had not been kept open, and that therefore he was entitled to one -half of the crop We" have omitted to state that Brinkley sub let the original lease to Michael Sears the defend ant. Michael Sears removed part of the corn against the consent of the prosecutor, and without paying the rent due thereon, as elainied by the landlord. Solicitor 'Caldwell and Col J.M McCorkle appeared for the State and Messrs Armfteld and Folk for the defendant, and the argu ment took up most of tbe evening session of the Court, being argued at great length and ability by both sides. . The Court charged the jury that the de fendant was' a tenant within the purview of the act of Assembly, and that it was the duty of the jury to convict if they believed that the defendant had removed the crop as alleged by the landlord, Who was the pro secutor. The jury found the. defendant guilty. The sentence of the Court is not yet pronounced. . P C Carlton, Esq, one of the leading mer chants of Statesville, not content with his honors as Master of Statesville Grange, - No 12, a farmer in fact as well as in name, the proprietor of one of the largest Mercantile establishments in the Western part of the State, outside of Charlotte, has recently bought the interest of D M I Stephenson in the Steam, Sash and Blind Ftctary of Ste phenson & Summers, of that place. If some of our merchants would follow this disciple of progress and invest some of their means in manufacturing purposes, we would soon hear less about middle men and the cry at hard times. Mr. C. is a live busi ness man and bis success as such gives, evi dence that his new venture will come out pecuniarily at the right end of the horn. So mote.it be. Messrs Sharpe & Miller, of Statesville, who" became the purchasers of tbe old jail have torn down the old building, and of the ma terial have constructed one of the neatest brick dwelling houses in the State, just in rear of the old site.
