Nervous Diseases.
The nervous system exercises a powerful
influence over the digestion, secretion, nutri
tion, absorption, and the circulation of the
blood.and its purpose see us to be to bind to
gether the machinery of the body, and to
combine and harmonize the action of its sev
eral parts. Disease of the nerves are more
numerous arid afflictive now than at any for
mer period a result due to the luxurious
habits of the age, and to the excitement
which the struggle for wealth pnd position
kindlej and inflames. Almost every indi
vidual one meets in society, of either sex, is
troubled with some nervous affection or oth
er. Among the various medicinal agents
recommended by the profession or recogniz
ed by the general public as nervines?, Hos
tetter's Stomach fitters occupies the fore
most place. Physicians of eminence con
cede to it very extraordinary tonic properties,
and its popularity as an inyigorant with all
classes of the community is indicated by a
demand for the article which has distanced
competition, and is still continually increas
ing. Men of business, politicians, authors,
lawyers, inventors, speculators in short, all
who are engaged in exciting pursuits, will
find this healthful alterative and restorative
the most restful cordial for the brain and
the overtasked nervous system that the com
bined resources of botany and chemistry
have yet given to the world. It is agreeable
to the taste, promotes digestion, regulates
the liver and the bowels, depurates the
blood, and is the most helpful elixir in cases
of severe mental despondency that ever
cheered the depressed spirits of man or wo
man.

LOCAL DOTS.
Don't fail to hear Mr Ashe speak to-day.
"The bright silver moon" now in a few
nights.
MrGallman had his street sprinkler out
yesterday afternoon.
PTtasc notify us to-day how to write
church directory for to-morrow.
Cloudy and pleasant yesterday. No
fault to find with the weather now.
We call particular attention to the sale of
yaluable city property, advertised to take
place to-day.
You can't convince a printer that it is

The diggers of the new well on Trade
street, struck water yesterday afternoon at a
pepth of 20 feet from the surface.
The Board of Trade was to have met yes
terday afternoon, but no quorum being
present, no business was transacted.
Yesterday was by all odds.the hardest day
of the season, to get up locals. We are going
to look back' on it when we are an old gen
tleman. Col E C Davidson, the "Farmers" candi
date for Congress, is canvassing way down
in the other end of the district. He is in
Robeson now, we understand.
It's a curious set t.f candidates who don't
furnish their supporters whiskey enough to
get drunk and fight, that a poor reporter
may get a chance at an item.
Dogs like those which congregated about
the square last night, fighting, barking,
growling, and making themselves offensive
generally, should be kiilod, collars or no
collars.
There is nothing, perhaps, in which our
people are more interested than the
comet, unless, indeed, it is the judicial elec
tion, and how to raise the wind sufficiently
to enable them to get out of town for a week
or two this Summer.
There will be a special tr.iin which will
carry passengers at reduced rates over the
Carolina Central Railway to-morrow from
Charlotte to Brevard Station, where a Pro
testant Baptist meeting is in progress. We
will add that it is a colored meeting.
There is now little doubt that young Nor
they, who was struck in the head with a
rock, and seriously injured last week, will
soon be recovered. His case has never been
attended with any very alarming symptoms,
and he is now improving rapidly.
Mr C M Baker has presented us with a
twin apple ct the Early June species, which
peculiarity, he says, is characteristic of that
fruit. It looks like it was perfection in its
line. P S Since writing the above, we
haye tested its merits, and speaking more
authoritatively, we say it is ne phis ultra.
The most exciting event of yesterday was
a terrific dog fight which took place on Try
on street, early in the morning. The dogs
fought about an hundred yards down the
Btreetfrom where they 4egan. The dispute
lasted about three quarters of an hour, and
was witnessed by not less than seventy-five
people.
To Leave an Hour Later on Saturdays.
The Western bound mail train on the Car
olina Central Railway, will, to-day and ev
ery other Saturday during the Summer seas
on, leave Charlotte at 4 P M, instead of at
3 P M, as the schedule calls for. This is for
the accommodation of business men in
Charlotte, who may desire to spend Sunday
at any of the Springs in Cleaveland county,
but who cannot well finish up their week's
business by 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon
Not Right. We don't thini? the railroad
companies should be allowed to stop on
street crossings, and throw off wood. Not
only are persons walking, or in vehicles,
prevented by this from crossing the railroad
until the wood is all unloaded, but the
streets and pavements are blocked up in
such a manner as to render it very difficult
for persons to get along through and over
it. Just here we will mention the fact that
it is a fine of. $50 according to the city or
dinances, for a train to stop on a street
crossing. It might be well in some instan
ces, to remind the railroad' employees of
this.
A Prlnter 'iu T.uck Yesterday morning,
a compositor in this office tried his luck in
the Beneficial Association. He put 25 cents
in, and when the numbers were called, found
that he had drawn $20 in greenbacks. He
put the money ih his pocket, and With the
remark : "Well, I believe I'll go and? set up
a few type, riow," he quietly walked out. a
well satisfied typo. We wish he had drawn
a thousand times the amount he did.
A Gentle Hint. Our friend, Wm Max
well, Esq, the Register of Deeds, is one of
the best of men, and most efficient of offi
cers ; but he doesn't like to be bothered
when busy, by people who have no particu
lar business with him, and who have a super-abundance
of gab. These facts may ac
count for the following, which' is written on
his office door ; m "Withdraw thy foot from
thy neighbour's house ; lest he be weary of
thee, and so Mate thee." Proverbs Xxv, 17.
V - , . ......
Some Betting. We heard a gentleman
say yesterday, that he is willing to make the
following bels.1 They sound rather curious,
but he is in earnest? Ha'will bet first $1,000
that a certain independent candidate iu this
county couldn't get 125 votes ln?the United
States." 2d. Another $1,000 that ' Schenck
will beat Logan 1,000 votes ; and t third, $ i0
that lie caii viii ""-both bets. ' Uji
Personal. Hon Thos S Ashe, our candi
date for Congress, arrived in the city yester
day eyening, and registered at the Central.
Rev Dr Craven, President of Trinity Col
lege, arrived in Charlotte yesterday.
Win Cain, Esq, the new Professor, at the
Carolina Military Institute, is in the city.
Col L D Childs, of Columbia, registered
last evening at the Central.
Speaking To-day. We will remind the
public that the Hon Thos S Ashe, Democratic-Conservative
candidate for Congress,
will address his fellow citizens at the Court
House in Charlotte tc-day. It will be inter
esting to hear this gifted Carolinian discuss
the political questions of the day, and we
feci sure the Court House will be filled.
Runaway. A lively runaway of two
horses, which were hitched to a wagon,
took place yesterday evening on Trade
street. They started at the corner of Trade
and Church, and ran at a furious rate down
the street, and only stopped when they ran
up against the bank beyond the Air-line
depot. There was no one in the wagon.
An Accident. We understand that while
a countryman, his wife and two children
were going out of town yesterday afternoon
in a wagon, one of the children fell out of
the wagon as it was passing through "Ir-
vin's lane." The hind wheel of the wagon
ran over the child's leg, but fortunately and
singularly, did not break it ; so that, with
the exception of some bruises, which were
not very severe, the child was not hurt. The
way in which it came to fall out was, that it
was leaning over the bed of the wagon,
When the wheel on the other side struck a
rock, throwing one side of the wagon higher
than the ether.
The Mint Properly. We publish in an
other place a communication from Co! C J
Cowles, in reply to an article in the Obser
ver of yesterday relative to the United States
Mint property in this city. He says no ap
propriation is made for keeping the prop
erty in repair. Granting .this, flic workmen
mentioned in his itemized statement should
at least keep the undergrowth and brush
cleaned off. There need be no special ap
propriation made for this, nor for keeping
a latch on the'front gate. The price of the
latch might come under tae head of "inci
dental expenses," and the workmen might
put it on. They might also keep up the
fences and do a dozen things to ornament
the place, and it might be very much improv
ed, without the outlay of any money, by prop
erly directed efforts on the part of those em
ployed there now to do something we do
not know what.
Changes iu Schedules. We call attention
to the changes which will be made to-morrow
in the schedule of the Charlotte, Col
umbia & Augusta Railroad. After that
time, one train on another will connect
closely with trains or every other rood run
ning into Charlotte. This has never been
done before by any road since all of our
railroads have been completed, and shows
that the C, C & A Railroad authorities have
an eye to the accommodation of passenger;:
over their line. This is commendable.
The accommodation freight and passenger
tram on the Air Line Railroad, will change
its schedule) -morrow. The train which
has hitherto been leaving Charlotte, going
Southward, at 8:30 A M, will, 011 ai d after
to-morrow, leave about 6 P M, and return'
ing, arrive in the morning.
A New Professor.- Yesterday, Mr Wil
liam Cain, of Asheville, N C, was selected
to fill the chair of Mathematics, Engineer
ing and Astronomy, in the Carolina Military
Institute. This is a.i excellent appointment,
Mr Cain is a native North Carolinian ; a
grandson of Judge J L Bailey, and son of
William Cain, Esq, of Hillboro, now deceas
ed. He was educated at the "North Caro
lina Military and Polytechnic Institute," at
Hillsboro, under Gen R E Colston, and grad
uated in 180?. Since that time, he has been
engaged in Civil Engineering, and in as
sisting Professor Kerr in the North Carolina
Geological Survey, in its connection with
Topography. At present, he is engaj
as Assistant Engineer in the survey, and
construction of the Raleigh and Augusta
Air Line Railroad. He is twenty seven (27)
yyears of age ; a young gentle man of fine
talents, thorough education, and unblem
ished, moral character. He will be a valu
able acquisition to this flourishing Institute
of learning. He will assume his duties on
1st of October.
CDMSrCXICATED.
Candidate for Solicitor.
Mr. Editor : The interest which is natu
rally excited in the contest for Judge in this
district should not cause us to forget the
importance of choosing a good prosecuting
offioer. And now that the election of Mr
Schenck is put beyond a doubt by the pa
triotic withdrawal of Col Hoke (for which
he will long be favorably remembered by
our people), it is time our attention was di
rected toward the Solicitorship.
I beg leave to call the notice of our Con
seryative people to the claims of Mai V J
Montgomery for that position.
1. He is the regular nominee of the Con
servative party, and is, and ever has been,
in thorough sympathy and co-operation
with us politically, in which he differs from
his opponents.
2. He is well qualified for the duties
the position. He has been a practicing law
yer for 15 years, and is recognized by his as
sociates as. able, accurate, industrious and
upright. In fact he is one of the best law
yers in the circuit to his . age. Under his
administration our people might rest assur
ed that crime would be vigilantly and im
partially prosecuted. We need, and are eziz
titled to. have, a prosecuting officer who will
be both fearless and able in the puisbment
of offenders. The writer, who knows Mai
Montgomery intimately, can vouch that

COMMimiCATED.
The Condition of the Mint Property.
Editors Observer:
Gentlemen : I notice in to-day's paper an
article headed, "The Branch Mint in this
j City," in which you hold me responsible for
j the dilapidated condition of the United
: States property here.
I You state that $6,000 being annually ap
J propriated to pay salaries, keep up repairs,
&c, &c, some portion of the same should be
spent to redeem it from its present shame
ful condition. If your premises were cor
rect your conclusions would be irresistible.
Let us see how it stands : The annual ap
propriation heretofore has been $4,492 (it is
$5,400 thi3 year), under the following heads :
Salary of Assafer $1,500
Salary of Melter, 1,200
Wages of workmen, 292
For charcoal, fuel, lights, acid?, flux
, es, crucibles, freights, books, station
ery, miscellaneous items, repairs of
assaying department and incidental
expenses,.....- 1,500
All to be expended under the direction of
the honorable director of the mint
Not a word, as you see, about the repairs
of the buildings, fences, grounds, &c, and
not a dollar can be used foi purposes other
than those mentioned.
I would gladly have used $828.45 left un
expended of the contingent expense fund in
1872'-73, and which I returned into the
Treasury, in repairing the premises if I
could have done so, but I could not. The
law is very stringent on this point.
Your complaint of the neglect of the
branch mint property is natural, and I shall
not attempt an excuse, but I desire to put
the blame where it rightly belongs.
Congress makes an annual appropriation
of $200,000 for "Repairs and Preservation of
Public Buildings under the control of the
Treasury Department," all of which is to be
expended under the direction of Hon A B
Mul'ett, Supervising Architect.
This Mint is a Treasury building, and
it is as much under the care of Mr Mullett
as is the Custom House in New York, the
Mint in Philadelphia, or even the Treasury
building in Washington City. No altera
tions or repairs, fencing, painting, &c, can
be made without authoritv first from him.
As custodian of the property, I have made
frequent applications to get authority from
Mr Mullett to repair the fences and put the
premises in good order, but for the last
twenty-four months he has turned a deaf
ear.
I have been trying to get permission to
enclose the lot in a more substantial man
ner than heretofore to introduce granite
posts from Dunn's Mountain, near Salisbu
ry, but so far have failed, and Col Wheeler,
when he returned to Washington after his
official visit here in Januarv , tried without
success.
Mv plan, if fully developed, would also
embrace a good iron rence on tnc rront, wnn
well laid out grounds, shrubbery, Ac, pleas
in to the eyes ('f ali.
I will call the attention of the. Supervis
ing Architect again to this matter and hope,
witlrtfje help of your article, 1 may be able
to accomplish something.

Stokes County, North Carolina.
THE MOUNTAIN SCKNERT
is grand and picturesque. "Moore's Knob'
and "Hanging Rock," spurs of the Saura
town Mountains, with their deep gorges and
lofty boulders, loom up grnndly amongst the
clouds, immediately in front of Hotel Build
