Pioneers will take heed to the advertise ment of their President. And there are rumors in the air of still other marriages yet- Roll on the bell ! The Columbia Phcsnix, of October 23, reached our office yesterday. As well never as so late. Remember to look out for the transit of Venus on the 8th inst. If you miss the sight then you will have to wait until 1882. The Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Rail road, is putting op an engine and car shed, 35x85, near its depot, (the C, C. & A.)in this city. We call attention to the advertisement of the Magic" Polish. The proprietor claims that it contains no mercary. We have seen it clean window glass very well. Just after snpper last evening, the office of the Central Hotel was more lively look ing than it has been since Fair Week. It was crowded with people. There were no cases in the Mayor's Court yesterday, and there have been no misde meanors to speak of in the city since Court began. Verily, Judge Schenck is about to break up our business. Stocks of Christmas goods already adorn many of our stores, and infantile minds are perplexed with a calculation as to how many days it is before Santa Clans will come. It will be seen by advertisement in anoth er column that Prof. Wm. Hare will give three peribrmances in the Charlotte Opera House, beginning to-night. We are slow to recommend a show. We don't recognize the rights of goats to run at large as they do on the public streets, If a few more are turned loose on the com munity, every fellow will have to leave town, or else a few skunks will have to be introduced to sorter tone down the scent in the atmosphere. Large Yield. Mr. W. D.Tharp, of North Iredell, sowed. last Fall.one quart of Tappahannock Wheat, and it yielded him 21 bushels and 4 gallon. This shows what this county can do in the production of wheat if the farmers would pay it the proper attention, by sowing only the best seed and putting it in rich land. : ,, . Cotton Yesterday. More cotton was sold in yester day than on any previous day this season The platform was crowded with it latei n- the r.ftemoon, and what with the cottton brokers sampling it, the weighers weighing it. the inspectoi inspecting it, and the truck men loading, the scene was a busy and cheerful one. Veil us Visible. The planet Venus is now visible in broad daylight, Eastward of the sun, under favor able conditions of the atmosphere. She is best seen in the afternoon. She has attain ed her greatest brilliancy and will gradually lose her light till the 8th of this month, when she will be visible only as a black spot moving slowly across the disc of the sun. Mis-statements. In our mention in Tuesday's paper, of Mr. Gregory's broker office, we made two mis statements : He does not sell to country merchants, but only to city merchants, and those of a few neighboring towns. He does not keep the stocks always on hand, but orders are given him, and he forwards them and has them filled. These are little things, but are calculated to mislead. A Fool Nigger. l esterday at noon, m carrying the pris oners back from the Court House to the jail, in some way or other one of them was over looked. All the others had guards assigned to them except this one, and he, fool like, just walked quietly along up street, until the officer counted over his prisoners, found one missing, and took him in charge. He ought 10 be sent to the Penitentiary for life. : ' Speedy J ustice. On the 25th ultimo, a negro named Abe White, and another, stole two bags of cotton from the plantation of Messrs. Stenhouse, Macaulay & Co., near" Pineville. They both ran off immediately, and was yesterday ap prehended in this city, the other escaping thus far. Tne captured one was carried be fore Justice Martin, who turned hhx over to the Grand Jury. A true bill was found and given to the Solicitor, and in less than two hours the negro was tried, convicted; and sentenced to the Penitentiary. ; ;This . reminds us of the: history ; of .the " good ole date,", as Josh Billings calls them, when rascals didn't go for weeks and months and years ,,,unwbipt of justice," as they have latterly. tost Alligator. Some days ago an express messenger be tween Charlotte and Richmond, starte d out from here with an alligator in his charge, consigned to Richmond. When he got there and went to check off his freight, the alligator was missing. He looked and look ed, turned over boxes and one thing and an other, but that alligator never has been found. What became of it is " one of those things no fellow, can find out." Maybe it cniVintho anrt nil en away, while the door was open. J Personal. j We had the -pleasure of a call yesterday Jf from Col. Nathaniel Knight, of the Wades- f boro Argis ; Col. K, is one of the most yen erable quilLdrivers in the State. Cbl.C. Bouknight, of the Charlotte, Col umbia & Augusta Railroad, was in the city yesterday. The editor returned unexpectedly yester day, without haying gone to the meeting of the Cheap Transportation Association, as he intended. - Ben Sneed. There are two parsons who mourn the fate of Ben Sneed, who was sent on yester day by Judge Schenck ; the City Marshal and the local historian. Ben has furnished the former many a fee, ai.d the latter many an item; for whenever a morning passed that Ben wasn't at the Mayor's matinee, we al ways took courage and knew he would be there next morning. Ben, farewell ! "Br;ng in another horse " - Improviug. The young man Parish, who was shot about fifteen days ago, at the boarding house of Mr. McNineh, is gradually improving. He is able to be up occasionally, and to walk about f jt a short titne. The ball ha3 never been extracted, and the young man still suffers with a pain in his stomach at odd intervals. The mother of young Norris, who did the shooting, has been very kind to the wounded man, nursing him as slduously and do everything in her power to alleviate his sufferings. Lecture at the Carolina Mi litary Insti tute. " On Friday evening next there will be a lecture at the Institute, beginning at 7.30. The lecturer will be the Rev. W, H. Camp bell, of Winnsboro, 8. C, who is well known in that State as aa able divine and an ac complished writer and speaker. As the Rev Mr Campbell is a finished elocutionist, an intellectual treat may be anticipated. His subject, "The Tradegy of Macbeth," will no doubt be handled in a style both graceful and strong. The parents and friends of Cadets, and the public generally are invited to attend. Ejected for Bad Conduct. A drunken man was guilty of disorderly conduct at the opera last night, and declined to cease his obnoxious demeanor or to leave. Policeman Healy promptly and properly ejected him, and though he resisted with all his might, he was dragged down the steps and hurried off to the lock-up. The noise made created a good deal of excitement, but did not interfere with the opera. Officer Healy is entitled to credit for the prompt manner in which he discharged his duty. We wish there were a law to confine & man in the Penitentiary for bad behavior at a theatre, opera, or any other place where ladies are assembled for an evening's.njoy- ment. It should not be tolerated for one in stant, and we hope the Mayor will this morning make this fellow forever sick of it. The Mautua Makers, Not the Milliners. A note from one of the milliners of the city yesterday, Jells us that we were mista ken yesterday morning in saying that none of the milliners of the city would take an order for a dress in a month. She says it is the mantau-maifcers who are so busy, and not the milliners, and calls our attention to the difference between the two. Well, so be it ; we were never good at drawing nice distinctions, and we didn't know before whether the mantua-makers made the bonnets and hats, and the milliners the dresses, or whether the milliners made the bonnets and hats, and the mantua-makers the dresses. We know they both work on female harness, and that's all we do know about it. So it is the mantua-makers who make the dresses who are so busy, and not the milliners who make the bonnets, for they don't make dresses. Now we have it. The Opera House Last Night. The people of Charlette never had the op portunity of attending just such an enter tainment as was presented last evening at the Opera House. Bohemian Girl was pro duced, with decided success by the Holman English Troupe, the best that has ever yisi ted Charlotte, and one of the best that has ever travelled South. There was not near such a crowd present as the company de served, and as its reputation warranted us in expecting. Such music is rarely ever heard before Southern footlights aa was ren dered by Miss Sallie Holman, as Arline, and she charmed as much with her face and man ner as wiffi her i voice. ' She ? manifests sprightliness and versatility, and quite won the hearts of the audience, particularly that part composed of the young men. Thad deus, by Mr. 'Ryse, was more than creditable to that gentleman. The overture was charming ; the combination of voices is ex traordinarily fine, and from the beginning to the end, the interest of the audience net- er flagged, and the applause was never any thing else than enthusiastic and general, f The evening's . entertainment . concluded with the laughable farce "Caught at Last," It brought roars of laugh ter from the and ience, and was, of itself an entertainment. The Opera House rang with the repeated peals of laughter, and everybody: left, in high good humor., " :';:fi7 ' "yt'r Upon the whole the company is an ex cellent ond. We are sorry its stay with us Is so shortand hone it will give us' a call next season. -r Bold Attempt at Robbery. Last evening about 8fc o'clock, a very dar ing attempt was. made to rob the money drawer of tb store4 of Mr. John Roberts, on Tryon Street, near" the Methodist church. Mr, Roberta wa(3 in the next store , convers ing with Mr. J. F. Rebman, the proprietor, and after talking some time with him start ed into his own. As he get to the doox he i,uwservcu a neSro reacning over iue. counier, and heard the lock of the money drawer I U - - 1 , . .I ' turn.-, He walked easily , up to the man, laid his hand on his back, and as he turned,. seized him by both lappels of fne coat. -A sclime ensued in which the negro threw Mr Roberts against a Tack and put hroi in such a position; as to force hini to. either catch himself or be badly hurt. Ho released' his hold with one hand and the negro escaped. Mr. R. pursued bitn down Tryon street into Sixth, from Sixth into College, and up Col lege for a considerable distance, but became exhausted and was forced to give up the chase. The would-be thief took off Lis shoes and stockings at the door, before entering the store, and these are now in Mr. Roberts' possession. Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Itebman were sitting in a rear room of the store, Mrs. Rebman in full view of the negro, yet, strange to say, she did not see him. Reports of the Grand Jury. The Grand Jury was discharged yesterday afternoon about half past four o'clock, after a very long and arduous session. They were discharged with very complimentary re marks by His Honor, The Grand Jury made two reports, which we append here with which are well worthy consideration ; particularly that one in relation to four terms of Court per year. It is evident that two terms are too few for a county with as much legal business as this one, and we hope the Legislature will favorably consider this report and the recommendation which it contains. These meet with the hearty ap probation of the members of the bar, and, indeed, all interested. That part of the sec ond report which refers to the Court House, is also of importance. Although the Jury does not exactly recommend a new one or changes in the present one,their sense on the subject seems very plain. The present Court House is old and dilapidated ; is an unsightly , strjuctnre, badly arranged, ill adapted'to its uses, and not such a Court House as such a county should haye, The following' are the reports : CHARLOTTE, N; C; Dec. 2nd, 1874, Fall Term of So eeioe Court Fob Mecklenburg County. To the Hon. D. Schendk, Judge o, the 8th Judicial District : Sir : We. the undersigned Grand Jurors of the Court and County aforesaid, would re spectfully recommend and petition the Leg islature of-North Carolina, the necessity of four regular sessions of the Superior Court of two weeks each per year) for Mecklcn burg County, instead of two regular terms and the necessity of special courts as it has been heretofore, We think it would be a great savins? not only to the tax-payers of our coonty, on account of the generally crowded condition of our Jail with criminals, but also a saving and a convenience to both counsel and clients in civil cases on our court docket Respectfully submitted, A II Creswell,, Foreman . ..

Schenck, Judge the 9th Judicial District Sib ; We, the undesigned, Grand Jnrore of the Court and County aforesaid, would re spectfully report as follows, to wit : That w6 have examined the county jail, and think it yery insecure and in bad condi tion, and infested with vermin (lice) ; has a disagreable smell, which is not only ob noxious to the Jailor, and prisoners but a nuisance to the citizens living adjacent thereto and to parties who pass on that side of the street. This statement is mado without reflection upon our Jailor, for it is our opinion that the jail and premises are kept as cleanly and in as good condition as could be under the circumstances, owing to the situation of the jail and the generally crowded condition of the same- In consideration of the probability of the new jail being completed soon, we would recommend no improvement or alteration upon the old one. We have also examined the Court House and find sit tobe- only inj tolerably good condition, 'too small, not properly arranged and adapted to the wants and conveniences of the Court and County officers.

" Mr. Edward Matthews, of the Carolina Central Railway Company, has addressed a circular to the members of the General As sembly of North Carolina, a copy of which is in our possession. It is in reply to certain charges made against him in a circular ad dressed to the same body by Judge H. G. Onderdonk. Mr. Matthews replies speciflci ally to all the charges made against himself and the1 administration of the road, and deals Judge Onderdonk some very, heavy blows. He says among other things : " SQ;j far as" I can learn, Onderdonk is alone in his opposition to the Company. He has tried in vain to get other stockholders to join him. To the best of my knowledge, every other stockholder is satisfied with the ' manage ment of the road."' Court Yesterday. ; The Court had a busy day yesterday, from earlv in the morning until nearly dark. As part of the fruits of the day's labora, 6even negroes was sentenced to . quarters in the Penitentiary. The following are the names of the negroes, their offences and sentences and the trials of these consumed the day : Taylor McLean, for foreery. (changing an order from $2 to $5) sentenced to 10 years; Adam Lee, for stealing, 2 years ; Nathan Barnes, stealing, 5 years; Peter McRorie, stealing, 5 years; Ben Sneed, stealing, 5 years ; Lum Heartt, stealing, 2 years ; Abe White, stealing, 2 years. Joseph Beckler, the gambler, who, it is alleged, was accessory to the robbing of Mr. Jas. Boyd, of Chester, of $75, in this city about two weeks ago, had his case removed to Cabarrus county, and set for trial on Wednesday of the first week of Court. This morning, the State docket will be finished. There are a fen- minor matters, we believe, and the case of W. H- H. Hous ton, yet to be acted upon. We have heard it intimated that a motion will be made to contftrne'Houstotvs case, and, if this is done and the motion granted, the civil docket will be resumed to-day. The Court was very much wearied by nightfall. A heavy day's wor was done, not lees than 25 cases having, been disposed of. The Sorrows of a Clerk. The other day, a clerk forjone of our busi ness houses had business for the firm in one of the upper counties of South Carolina,and as he was about starting, one of the firm bethought him that he had a horse and mule which he had taken for debt a few days previous ; so he told the clerk just to go through the country, taking his horse and mule along with him, and sell them while he was gone, if he could get a good price for tbem. The clerA started out, riding the horse, and leading the uiule. As he got to the edge of town, near the Fair Grounds, an apprehension seized the mule that his leader had designs upon him ; so, setting his fore feet forward, and extending his neck, he declined to go further on that way. The clerk coaxed him and then cuss ed him, and finally tried the persuasive elo quence of a brush upon him, but the mule he would not go; he stood there with that same stolid unconcern and fixedness, with which we are apt to believe Casabianca stood on the burning deck. The clerk then changed the saddle from the horse to' the mule, but being put in the lead didn't make the mule work any, better. This plan wouldn't do at all ; so he had to change back, and as he got down fo take off the Faddle, the mule scooted ; he didn't hold back then ; oh! no. , . Hitching the horse to a fence, our friend, set out in quest of his mule He returnedj however, shortly, to get the horse, to ride on in search of the other animal, and just as be? got up to him, another horse came rearing along and scared the clerk's horse, which broke loose and scoted it " over the hills and faraway." in the direction the mule had taken. . , ; The lastseen of the young man, .he was trudging along down by Morrow's : Turn Out and still a-cussing. This story is true, if a friend of the clerk, who has hitherto borne a good character for reliability, can be depended upon, and we think he can. . New Advertisements. TTENTION PIONEERS.
