CITY BULLETIN. Cold again. What "curiis"' weather. This is the time to plant shade trees. The first of January is almost here and it is now about time for every feljow to begin to draw up good resolutions. The bond of W. H. II. Houston was fixed by Judge Schenck at $2,500 in each case, and not at $25,000, as the types made us say yes terday. Shotwell, of the Home, has more "cheek" than any newspaper man we ever saw, noted as they are for It. He is just recovering from an attack cf tooth-ache. The First Building and Loan Association, of this city, hat not yet stopped business as we stated yesterday, but will be' in active operation for two months to come. Rt. Rev. Thomas Atkinson, Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina, will officiate at St. Peter's (E.) Church, on to-morrow, Dec. 6th, at 11 o'clock a. m., and at 7:30 p. m. Fink had a great deal of sympathy yes terday ; many of his friends called to inquire about his misfortune, and to condole with him. Strange to say they all smiled as he told his story. t . The box sheet for the performance of the Berger f amily on Monday evening, is open at Tiddy's book -store. Call early and get your seats reserved . Rev. N. Aldrich, for so long pastor of St. Mark's Lutheran Church of this city, left a day or two ago to take charge of a congrega tion over which he has been called to pre side, in Vandalia, 111. The most annoying feature of that Hare fraud, on Thursday night, was that the Holman Opera Troupe was exceedingly anxious to lease the opera house for that night, for the purpose of giving a second en tainment, and pfferedto pay any price for it. But it had been engaged. The before the Mayor yesterday, were, in the main, uninteresting. One case of a woman named BreakSeld, for attempt tag ip levt blackmail upon a respectable young man, wa postponed for further inves tigation. Gen. Thos. F. Drayton. The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist, of yes terday, speaking of this Charlottean, says: " This accomplished and distinguished gen tleman is in our city, and will remain for several days. He is the guest of Capt. J. H. Jtfiller. Another Show. : We publish an advertisement this morn ing of a show which, it is said, will take place this evening, at the Charlotte Opera House, It was handed in by a gentleman of perfect reliability, but it mmt be a " put up job" on the " boys " at the North Caro lina Depot .... . . . OAT for the Pen. Eight prisoners, one white and the oth ers colored, left this city last evening, under guards, for the Penitentiary, to which they have been sentenced as follows: William Capps, white, 2 years; Taylor McLean, 10 years ; Adam Lee, 2 years ; Nathan Barnes, 5 years ; Peter McRorie, 5 years ; Ben Sneed, 5 years ; Lum Hart, 2 years ; Abe White, 2 years. All the last named are colored, and are in for stealing, .except Taylor McLean, who was convicted of forgery. A Would-be Robber Frustrated . Mr. J. W. Duncan, of this city, liyesin the house of Mr. W. I. Friday, and boards Mr. Friday and his wife. On Thursday evening Mr. Duncan left the city on the North train, and before doing so, went to Mr. Friday and gave him some money to take to his (Dun can's) wife, when he went home to supper. After supptrMr. Friday counted the money out to Mrs. Duncan on a small table, and came up street. Mrs. D. left the money lying on the table and went into another room, and, ag luck would have it, an , old colored woman locked the door of the room in which the money was lying. Presently theJtnob of the door was beard to turn, and upon the colored woman going to it she found a young white man standing there In reply to a question he said he wanted something to eat.. The woman shut the door in his face, went and got him some thing, and, returning gave it to him, where upon he walked out of the yard.r? - An examination was made of the premises and the window blinds of the room of which we have been spea&ing, were found open notwithstanding the fact. Mrs: Duncan hat! closed them tightly but a short time before, There is no doubt the would-be thief, had opened them, had seen the money counted Out, and was only, waiting for all the persons to leave the rooml to open the door, walk in and capture the prize. Fortunately the can tibn of the old negro woman in' locking the door, frustrated his designs, and he made nothing but a supper by the venture.' Scoundrels in Our Midst. Three separate items which we publish in . our columns this morning, show undeniably j that there is a class of bad and desperate men in our city. We are loth to believe that they are residents of the place, and our" belief that they are not, i$ strengthened by the fact that there are now here a number of stragglers whom nobody knows and who seem to have no business or occupation of any kind. In view of recent events it would be well, not only for the police to exr ercise an extra vigilance, but for our citizens to be unusually wary. It is particularly important that people close their houses so soon as dark falls, so that they may be secure against these sneak thieyes, should they call. A very little care may save a con siderable loss. Knocked Down by a Brickbat. Yesterday morning, Mr. Thos. Clayton, who works on the Carolina Central Rail road, came into Charlotte on the 2 o'clock train on the Air Line Railroad, from Green ville. There was no 'bus at the depot, and he, as well as other passengers, had to walk up to the hotel. As he was passing the un completed store of Messrs. Alexander, Seigle & Co., a brick-bat came flying along and struck him on the right side of the head. just in front of the ear. He was knocked off the pavement and fell into the gutter. He remembers, that, as he fell, he exclaim ed " Oh Lord," and heard some one say, "Oh, h 1." He did not see any one at all, but only heard this reply to his exclamation. Mr. Clayton was considerably stunned, but never ceased his efforts to get up, and in a few seconds was on his feet again. The man who threw the brick did not advance upon Mr. C, and if his object was ' robbery, he made no efforts to execute his design further than to knock him down. If the object was not robbery, the man's design is explicable. Left the Gity for the City's Good. Prof. Wm. Hare, "the king of" hum bugs, advertised when he came here, to per form " for three night3 only," but he seems to have forgotten the other two little en gagements, and, with his " troupe," left on the Charlotte, Columbia A Augusta train yesterday morning. The Professor is the most arrant fraud of the amusement season, and deserves to be exposed by the press wherever he goes. It is just such strolling dead-beats as he, that cause the public to distrust travelling entertainments of everv kind, and they should meat with severe de nunciation from the newspapers of everv place where they exhibit The Professor had little success in calling the people of charlotte. He was made to pay his expenses in advance, and we have no idea that he took in enough money to meet them. At least we sincerely hope that he didn't. - A Ruffianly Assault. Mr. Israel Fink, who keeps the bar room adjoining the office of the Charlotte Hotel was the victim of a brutal assault,while on his way bome,about ICi o'clock Thursday night. Jnst after be had passed Cook's Foundry,1 on Trade street, he was struck by some per son,, with a missile which he thinks must have been a slung shot, and knocked perfect ly senseless. When he recovered himself he was lying on the pavement below the Foun dry and in front of a small wooden building which was built for a laundry. His wits i were so far gone that he had to ask a boy who was just then passing, which direction he must take to get home. The blow was just below the left eye, and was evidently inflicted with some very heavy instrument. The eye was, yesterday, swollen and blood- shotten, and the face was swollen and black half the length of the cheek. So sudden was the attack ttiat Mr. Fink saw no one at all, & only knew that he had been attacked when he came to his senses, lying in the street. He thinks he must have lain there for half an hour or more. He had on his person at the time, a silver watch and something over $200 in money. The money he had taken out of the bank just before the close ot business hours on Thursday, to pay a debt ; but the person to whom he owed it did not call for it, and he had to &eep it in his pocket. If the design of the attacking party was to commit high way robbery, he had every opportnnity to do it, and if it was to gratify a personal spite, Mr. Fink cannot imagine who it was, as he is not aware of having an enemy in the city. He is certain the person, whoever he was, came np from behind, as he could have seen him had he been in front of him or on either side. Mr. Fink was in nowise under the influence of liquor. This was a performance which, for bold ness and adroitness, would have done credit to a city garroter. The Lecture at the Institute Last Night. As had been previously announced the Rev. Mr. W. F. Campbell, Rector of the Epis copal Church at Winnsboro, S. C, lectured to an appreciative audience at the Carolina Military Institute last night. While the audience was quite a large one for Charlotte, due perhaps by the reputatio n of the speak er, we are sorry to say that it was not as large as it ought to have been, and we may add that such a literary treat ought to fill any hall in North Carolina to its utmost seating capac ity, and we sympathize with those who de-. nied themselves the privilege of attendance. Introduced by Col, Thomas, the Superin dent, the audience was led to form a favorable opinion both xf the lecturer and his subject, but the conception was far below the true standard of either. - The speaker was amin isterof the gospel and his subject was Shake- peare's "Macbeth," a production of the highest style of genius, in own to the English language, and rich in the treasures of though t and of1 instruction. The man and( fits sub- , ject was calculated ; to impress ' the, hearer with the.; sublimest respect, and most atten tire appreciatiation. ni ! ;ch'fv.. e If the gifted speaker harbored a' thought that- ' JfiMeth J' was of 'Bacbaiahrigitt, he did norallude to it and his appreciative audience1 were 'satisfied ; at 4ts :,ancYysioni that the lecturer was content td';aB'qw the honor of giving birth to the unrivalled pro duction of Ihe'jfriay; to rest securely ' upon the brow of1 William Shakespeare, and notwith standing what others might say, he at least, would tear no laurel from the grown of that eminen t and justly celebrated writer, , The lecturer dissected his subject and his audience drank in the result of his research With' profound appreciation. The analysis waif complete, as the- speaker employed lan guage alike forcible, elegant and eloquent. The hearer was transported in imagination tp the blasted heath when amid the Raping of the disturbed elements, tJUe three wUches announced to the fated " Jfacbeth," tjjat he should reign upon the Scottish throne, and step by stepi the mind was led through the various conditions or hope, despair, ambi tion and final desperation jot the 'hero f his subject, until he fellori'ihe plain between Birnam wood end Dunsmarie, ' a dying giant, at the hands of him" Who " from his mother's womb "had been untimely ripped." Dying in his gorei unwept, unnonored and disgraced, the speaker deduced, mocal : and religious truth from his character which, to be appreciated, must have been heard, and returning to some of the - scenes' through which his hero had passed in reaching his dreadful destiny, examined "Hhe character of Lady Jfacbeth, with a forcible and caustic literary blade, proving conclusively' and with new light, that she, who should have his counsellor in the ways of truth, virtue and honor, she it was, who by a mad hallu cination, and an unhallowed ambition to be come the queen of Scotland,' had led h)m to commit the midnight assassination of his King, and usurp the proud prerogatives of the crown of Scotland. t '' '' We will not do the speaker the Injustice to attempt a synopsis of his admirable lecture ; but will be content to say that the subject; the style, and the tone of Its delivery, illus trated the logical cast of his nitnd, as well as the grace, and finish of his elocution&xy powers. Though we have read the play from the time of our earliest literary recollection : though we "have stood epell bound under the unimltated delineations of Forrest in this immortal production ; though we have read and re-read it time and time again, we acknowledge freely that it acquired new beauties from the magic touch of the lecturer last evening, , and we can extend our sym pathies to those who denied themselves the pleasure of hearing t. Court Yesterday. The Fall term of Snpcricr Court for Mecklenburg Connty, concluded its session yesterduy evening. The business had not all been disposed of, bnt the members of the bar gave their ready consent to an adjourn ment of Court, that Judge Shenck migbt go home this morning. The session has been a very erdnous one, and an unprecedented amonnf of work has been done.. In addition to a capital case on the criminal docket, and others on the same docket iu which the de fendants came clear, 15 persons, all colored save two, were seuteuced to the Penitentiary for different terms. Quite a number'of cases on the civi docket were also dispoteJ ef. - Business has been hurried along at a rapid rate, and the conduct of the new Judge and Solicitor, has met with unanimous approval from allla,w abiding men. The Judge lias, we believe, given very general satisfaction to the members of the bar. He is verrprorapt in forming bis decisions, u rid very pr6mpt, jn euforcing them; but he ie impartial and al ways grants both, sides, a fair iiearmg. The Coert was so different from Judge Logan's Court, that one hardly recognized Has the j same bodv. Wo can sav id truth that the people of Mecklenburg were pleased, more than pleased, with the new Judge sud Solic itor. Much was expected of them and they have quite some up to public expectation. The business of yesterday, the concluding day, was not of interest. The caseof Vitt- kowsky & RiDtelsrs. Caddell and Gatewood, J was resumed upon the assembling of Court, and resulted in the jury finding for the de fendants. The remainder of the day. was consumed in making orders, and in other business of that kind, where no jury' was needed, and where there were no regular ar guments, in clearing up the rubbish, if we may so express it. Court adjourned about 5 P. M. The lust Court of the fall circuit is at Coneord next week and the week following. Takeu in by a Sharper. Some days ago, may be a week of more since, a white fellow (no doubt one of these sharpers who has been lounging around Charlotte fcr some time past) went . to the house of an old gentleman named" Keely who Uvea near Morrow's Turn Out in tbjs. county, and besought him for work. Mr. Neely gave him employment. The fellow kept his eyes open, and was not long in" find ing where his employer kept his valuables ; so'on Wednesday or Thursday night we ar-eH not certain which he secured two watches' one of them a very fine one, and other val uables, and shook the dust of the place from offbis feet.x The whole property amounted in value to some , $400 i Mr. Neely came at once to Chat lotte in pursuit of the ras tM, but could find nothing of him. It if 8upD0sed that he. has departed : for goOd Mr. Neely is a brother of Mr. J. S.
