JONES, Editor and Proprietor. Charlotte N. C. CITY BULLETIN. It moderated till it got real warm, and now it looks and feels like rain. We see by the Raleigh papers that Joseph D. Elliott has been consigued to the Peni tentiary. Partridges are unusually numerous just now, and huntsmen are on the warpath eyery day. . We return thanks; fo thej Superintendent, Col. Coward, for'a catalogue of King's Mountain Military. School, Yorkyille, S. C. Ella Bell, Li la Robinson and Josephine Hammond, colored, were before the Mayor again yesterday for disorderly conduct. The first named was fined $5, and the other two $2.50 each. The First Building and Loan Association of Charlotte, has quit business, and books of subscription to another, which is to be form ed on the 1st January to take its place, have been opened at the store of J. 8. Phillips. A. public well, in which a pump will bs ;put, is being dag in front of Kuester's gun smith shop on Tryon street, for the eoDve nience of persons living and doing business in that neighborhood. The man who was killed on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad, on Sunday morning last, was named Wingate, as we stated a few days ago; he was from Lincoln county, so the Rock Hill Orange says, and his remains were interred at Rock Hill. A certain young man in this city was en gaged all day yesterday and last night in ex plaining to "the governor" how it was that the Opera didn't break up until 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and the old man ain't satisfied about it yet. The boy says he's the most incredulous old fellow he eyer saw. A Street Scene. One of the teams on the streets yesterday was a cartith a steer about the size of a dog hitched to it. An old gentleman and his wife were in the cart, and the old gentle man had on a linen coat and the old lady had her neck and face wrapped up in a red shawl. It was right funny. Gen. Prince. The Wade8boro Herald of the 2nd, says : " We regret to learn that our highly esteem ed and talented townsman, Gen. W. L. T. Prince, contemplates removing to Charlotte in a few weeks. We congratulate the people of Charlotte'on this valuable acquisition to their bar, which is already so justly celebra ted for its talent and ability." A Suggestion. We suggest to our lady friends that, at the next public entertainment, they wear high er bats than they have been in the habit of doing on such occasions, If yon can't get any higher one,' send out and borrow a hat from your neighbor,' and' put It on ; top ' of yours. Tlie higher your hat is. the more yon repress the tendency on the part of the gen tlemen behind yoa, to use profane language and say all sorts of ugly things. Lecture this Evening. We remind our readers that the Rev. Mr. Campbell, an eloquent Divine, appears this evening as lecturer before the Carolina Mili tary In3titute. Greet him with a good au dience. The Clergy of the City, as well aa our citizens generally, are invited to be present. Sleeping in Court. A man got drunk went to the court House yesteiday. before noon, laid down on one of the benches and went to sleep. He slept there till night, and was locked up after court adjourned. The clerk's clerk remem bered him about dark, and when he went back to wake him up and let him out, shook himandiold him to "get up, he'd already been fined $100 for contempt of court," be looked as wild as a buck and started off to find Judge Schenck. Another New Citizen of Charlotte. After the 1st of January next, W. W. Flemming, Esq., of Marion, McDowell county, will take up his residence in this city for the practice of the law. Mr. Flem ming is a young gentleman of decided talent. He has served perhaps more than one term in the Senate branch of the State Legisla ture, and is regarded, where he is known, as a young lawyer of promise. We welcome him to OhaTlotte. Chambers Court. Si Judge Schenck has kindly consented to attend in this fty about the middle of January to hold a Ghambers Court for the hearing of questions of law. He will do this without charge, and simply as a matter of accommodation and to dispose of busi ness which would otherwise remain upon the docket until the next regular term of Court. Thi is quite kind of the Judpe. Meeting of the Bar. Yesterday evening after the adjournment; of Court, a meeting of the bar was held, at which the recommendation of the Grand Jury in regard to four terms of Court per year for Mecklenburg county was discussed, and it was agreed to make application to the present session of the General Assembly to pass a bill creating these two additional terms. The proposition meets with favor from all parties, and we suppose there . will be little or no difficulty in getting the bill through the Legislature. Just aud Right. The man who created a disturbance at :he opera on Wednesday night and resisted ar rest, was brought before the Mayor yester day morning after a night passed in the lock-up. The Mayor imposed a fine of $20 and cost on the man. He paid it, but re fused to disclose his name. We hope this example will have good a effect. The fine is not a cent too heavy, considering the offence, and we hope a similar or heavier one will be imposed upon the next person who so far outrages public decency as to be guilty of bad conduct in the threatre or other public place where ladies are assembled. Personal. We had the pleasure of greeting in out sanctum yesterday, Capt. W. F. Avery, the accomplished editor of the Piedmont Press. Of a family whose name .covers one of the brightest pages of North Carolina history, he is well worthy the name he bears, and stands to-day recognized as one of the ablest and certainly the most sprightly and versatile member of the State press. Col. James Anderson, Superintendent of the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Rail road, arrived at the Central last evening. The Opera House Last Night. A small and mixed assemblage gathered at the Charlotte Opera House last evening to witness the performance of Prof. Win. Hare, "the king of kings,"in his feats of sleight-of-hand, ventriloquism, &c. The sleight-of-hand showed miserably little sleight for a man who follows that as a business ; the ventriloquism was poor, andthe attempts at wit were execrable. We laughed at the idea of anybody trying to palm off such stuff on a civilized community, for wit. The show was, we belieye.the poorest we evef1 saw. In fact we have assisted, in our younger days, in breaking up many abetter one- Men sat in the middle of the dress circle with their hats on.Rnd "the small boys in the gallery" testified their appreciation by cheering lust ily at exactly the time when the "Professor" was about to say something perfectly "kill- in? A High Old Statisciau. We have been furnished with a copy of the "Evans' Railroad Guide," published in New York City. It is a book of about 140 pages,purporting to give the names of all the railroad stations in the South and South west, and a brief history of each. The fol lowing stations, it says, are on the "Wil mington, Charlotte & Raleigh Railroad": Cherryyille, Lincolnton, Brevard Station, Ramsaur's Mill, and Laurel Hill. This is all it puts down. The "Guide" doesn't men tion Charlotte at allgnores it entirely, but its notice of Ramsaut's Mill, Lincoln county, is grand, gloomy and peecooftar, It says of this place : "Name derived from the battle of Ramsaur's Mill. Population, 2,500. (Shades of Monchaasen !) There are two churches, post-office and two hotels, Morn ing Star published daily here. There was a battle at Ramsaur's Mill, commanded by Gen. Morgan and Wheeler, Confederate side, Kilpatrick and Stoneman, Federal side, on February 15th, 1865. The Federal loss esti mated at 6,500 killed, wounded and missing. SOpieces of artillery, all the wagons and stores, fell into the hands of the Confeder ates. Their loss was 1,500 killed, and 500 wounded: Trains stop 20 minutes for meals at 12 M., and 6 P. M." " What a sweet piece of history I The fel low who got up this "Guide" must have skirmished around Ramsaur's Mill right lively t have found its 2,600 people, and as for that contribution to the history of the. wa, it is the TlatesVand best. Shelby as a Cottou Market. Oar Shelby correspondent "Tic Toodles," writes as follows, under date of yesterday : On yesterday. December the 2nd, 58 bales of cotton were sold in .'helhy at fair prices. On two days last week, about 140 bales were sold here. Our merchants are fall of energy and "push" ; pay good prices for cotton in order to concentrate trade here. Cotton from Spartanburg, York and Rutherford counties, is sold here : so you see Shelby is a live little place. When the Carolina Central Railroad ie com pleted here, trade will increase heavily and our town imorove rapidly." ? . Shot Himself in the Hand. Yesterday morning a serious arc; Jent be fell Mr. H.I. Hall, who has been acting as sewing machine agent for Col. D. G. Max well, of this city, He was out bird hunting with Mr J,M Phillips, of New.-irk, X. J-, and hang fired off one barrel of his gan, stop ped to reload it, the load being still in the other barrel. While he was ramming down the charge it exploded, and the whole load lodged in his right hand, mangling it in a sickening manner. As soon as possible he was brought to the city and taken to the ofllce of Drs. Jones it Graham. These gentlemen amputated the thumb and forefinger of the hand, and Mr. Hall is resting easily. He will soon be able to be out.. This is a very great deprivation to him, and is another re minder of how exceedingly careful persons should be in the use of fire arms. Mr. Phillips is tiie proprietor of a zrac manufacturing establishment in Newark, and being a man of means, very generously made Mr. Hall a present of fifty dollars, and gave instructions that sight drafts should be drawn on him, to pay the surgeon's bill until he should recover. For this act of kindnes to the sufferer who was in his company when the accident happened, he deserves praise and credit, and we willingly accord both to him. Legend of the Myrtle. This is copied : Modern fashionable j-o-ciety, which decrees that none but betrothed brides shall wear the myrtle, is not aware, perhaps, thai the custom dates back to the days of the Greeks and Romans. " The lover with the myrtle sprays Adorns his crisped tresses." Old legends tell us that the Blessed Virgin, upon the occasion of her marriage to Jos eph, wore a crown of Myrtle. Still, it was not exclusively monopolized by brides, for among the Athenians it was customary to crown the dead with a garland of myrtle, It was also the symbol of authority, and as such was worn by magistrates. The sword of Harmodius and Aristagcl ton were wreathed with sprays of myrtle when they went forth to deliver their coun trymen from the tyranny of the Pisistratidre as we learn from an Athenian drinking song by Callhurntus. This plant receives its name from Myr sine, an Athenian maiden, the favorite of Minerva, and who was metamorphosed into this flower. It was sacred to Venus, one of vho?e numerous appellations was Myrtia. A New Feature of Building In Charlotte. There is a work going on now in the basement of the new? store of S' P Smith, E;q , on Trade street, vfhich is something new for this place. This new store is not en independent house, but is buiit up be. tween Brem, Brown & Cos hardware store and the Mercha it's and Farmers Xa lional Bank, the walls of these houses on each side serving as walls for it, and the sleepers and joists being placed in their side?. Tow to render the wall of the bank all the more secure',' new foundation is be" ing built under its " fooctdatioh. Workmen are in the basement of tfee new store digging out the dirt from- under the wall of tie bank, and building up to it with brick, making the whole foundation on that side about five feet deeper and five bricks thick. The wall on the other side under the hardware store, has been done the same way. The dirt is dug from under the wall, or from under the foundation, as you please in sec tions of eight or ten feet breadih. The work is now nearly finished. This new store, by the by, is going to be one of the most elegant in the city. Its front is iron, and very beautiful. Court Yesterday. The first case yesterday morning was that of the State vs. M. T Whillock, for assault and battery upon young Northey some six months ago. Many of oar readers will remember this case. One Sunday evening Xorthey hired a horse and buggy from the livery stable of J R Davidson, at which Whit lock is employed. The latter went a fter it, when Nortbey had been gone for some time. Seme words sprang up between the two, and resulted in Whitlock throwing a rock at Nortbey, which struck him in the head, fractured his skull, and laid him up for some time. General R D Johnston and J H Wilson Esq., appeared for the de fendant, and Major Montgomery and Judge Shipp for the State. After Ihe testimony a nd argument, the Jury retired and brought in a verdict of not guilty. Next was two cases against W H H Houston, for forgery. Both of these were con tinued upon the affidavit of the prisoner. An order was entered that Houston should be released until the next term of Court, by giving a bond of $25,000 in each case. " The case of young Norris, for the shooting of Parish, at the boarding house of Mr. Mc Nincb, was continued. A few trifling cases were disposed of. and these cleared the criminal docket. The last case of the day was that of Wiit kowsky & Rimels vs. Cad well and Gate- wood, a ! civil action. - Judgment was en tered agaiost Cadwell by default. ; A jary was empannelled as tb'the case of Gatewobd, the issues made op and some of the testi mony taken, when Court adjourned for the day. First Day of the , Methodist Episcopal Conference. Conference met at 9:30 a. m. Bishop. Marvin opened Conference With , religious exercises., Prayert by the Bishop and Rev. Dr. Gloss. The singing of those good old day was revived, the entire house joining in with the spirit and the- understand ing. The reporter's flesh felt more religious warmth than it has felt in many a day. , The bishop made a brief opening ad dress. Roll was called showing a larger at tendance of ministers and. lay mem. bers than has ever been known in the State. Provision made for the appointment of standing committees, and the time set for opening Conference at 9:30 a. m.. and closing at 1:30 p m. Several documents were presented and read from headquarters of the church at Nashville. Resolved that the consideration ofa new rule be the business for 11 o'clock to-morrow. The Examining Committee report ed on the various classes that had come before them, as the most tal ented they had, and a number of young men were reported as applicants and admitted to Conference. A case of appeal from Quarterly Conference was generously recognized and fair and legal provision made ljor justice to the appellant. Sundry appointments for the meet ing of committee during the evening were made. Rev. D. A. Long, of the Christian Church, was introduced by the Bish op, with the remark that "we all be long to that Church," and he "hoped Mr. Long would make himself at home and be as much of a Methodist as pos sible." Those tobacco cltewers among the brethren received a gentle hint . from Biship Marvin. He said it was mor tifying to him to see the brethren spit upon the floor, and if they were bound to chew their quid, he hoped each man would bring along a spit box with them. Go to the carrier pigeon, thou glut ton ; learn its ways and be wise. "When traveling it never feeds. If the distance be long, it flies on without stopping to take nutriment, and at last arrives thin, exhausted, almost dying. If corn be presented to it, it refuses, contenting itself with drinking a little water and then sleeping. Two hours latter, it begins to eat with great mod eration, and sleeps again immediately afterwords. If its flight has been very prolonged, the pigeon will proceed in this manner for forty-eight hours be fore recovering its normal mode of fee ding."

O'Connell, Mr. Martin Henry Fletcher, of Richmond, Va., to Miss Mary Ann Boyle, of Augusta, Ga. New Advertisements. rpO BUILDERS AND DEALERS IN LUMBER.
