Tooraloorallee " is on the lips of every- ooay wno can stnte a tune of any sort. The question over which the public mind is now excited, is, what business had Miss JSttie Berger to go and get married ?- We are told by Shelby gentlemen that the Carolina Central will be nnisbed from Buffa lo to Shelby in six weeks or two months-. Messrs. Sclater Brockenbough, two young gentlemen of Richmond, Va., have opened a general merchandise brokerage of fice in this city. It will be seen by a card in another col umn, that Gen. Thos. F. Drayton, of this city, has been appointed general agent of the Southern Life Insurance Company, with ntaaquarters in unariotte. We learn that Dr. J. G. Ramsey, of Row an has filed his bond as Collector of Internal Revenue for this (the 6th) District of North Carolina IK- Dr. J. J. Mot t, removed. We understand that Dr. Ramsey will take charge of the office on the 1st January. Married. Mr. Henry McGinn, of the firm of I. H. McGinn A Co., was united in marriage last evening to Miss Amelia Symons, at the res idence of the bride's father, Mr. Thomas Symons. All of Charlotte. The ceremony was performed by Rev. B. S. Bronson, of the Episcopal Church. Fight In a Bar Room. Two negroes, Clarence Childs and Plum- iner Miller, had a quarrel in Ferry More- head's bar room yesterday, which culminat ed in a fight, during which Miller had his nose eat with a pint cup in the hands of the other. They were both arrested and carried before the Mayor, who finded Childs $8, and Miller 3. The Dead Conductor. The Atlanta Herald, speaking of Captain Young, the conductor who was killed at King's Mountain, on the Air Line Railroad, last Friday night, says : " Capt. Young was held in high personal esteem by his officers and co workers on the road. His death causes deep regret among a large circle of friends. He was unmarried, but a brother and two sisters bewail his loss." More Rascality. A few nights ago a robbery was perpetrat ed at the residence of Mr. J. B. Barnett on B street. While the family was at supper, a sneak thief entered the house and stole all the bed clothes from one of the beds, blank ets, sheets, and all. He must have just turned them down, doubled them up and escaped. It was a very bold proceeding. On the same night some one entered the stable of Mr. J. C. Boyte, in the same neigh borhood, and stole his horse. What is the place coming to. The Charlotte Band in New Orleans. In the New Orleans Picayune, of the 5th, we find the following item, among its inci dents of the closing scenes of the yisit of the Knight Templars to New Orleans : 'The Picayune acknowledges the compli ment of a call from the Pennsylvania dele gation, under command of Col. W. Hi Eagle, who were accompanied by the Charlotte sa ver Helicon Band, of Charlotte, North Caro lina. The serenade was very enjoyable." Cabarrus Court. From Sheriff Alexander, who returned yesterday afternoon from Concord, we gath er some news regarding the Court, which is in session there this week. The criminal docket has been run over, and all the cases oa the docket haye been tried, with the ex ception of two ; One of these, the case of the 'man Beckler, which was moved from Meck lenburg ; thCVther, that of a negro, , name unknown, for burning . the. gin .- house of Dr Columbus MUlsi Beckler's case was set for trial; on Friday. , Judge Schenck, has sentenced three negroes to the Penitentiary, though for what offences or, for what terms. we eouia not learn.i v . - v .. Recollect lens of Charlotte. The Wilmington Commercial -Reporter, of Saturday last, has the following article which will interest some of bur people : "We were glad this morning to shake by the band our old friend Col. Thos. D.

" Christmas conies but once a year," and that's why every fellow gets drunk; and makes a beast of himself, and catches the headache and feels like he had been struck by lightning, and then hit on the head with a crowbar, and calls, it " having a good time." Another One of Vauce's. " If don't make a particle of difference what the occasion is, Gov. Vance is always ready with something sew and smarts Was there ever such another man ? It was during the panic last Fall, and he was attending Court at Mon roe, when this little incident trans. pired : . An bid; gentleman who had some money in one of the banks of Charlotte was mighty .iineasy for fear it should break ; and he called Gov. Vance aside to get his opin ion about the matter. 3v'I hear. Governor," said he, "that some of your banks up thar in Charlotte is sorter shaky and is liable to bust at any minute ; is it so ?" "Well," re- replied the Governor, "I don't think there is any probability of any of them breaking, but one of them the First National is go ing to have trouble before long." ' "How's that ? what sort of trouble ?" anxiously asked tuis enquirer after truth ; "How do you know it?" "Why," said Vance, "they've got a note of mine lying in there, and I'll aweu they are going tq haye trouble collect' ing that." And as the Governor told this story to a crowd of gentlemen the other day, he turn ed to our friend, Pegraro, the Cashier of the bank, and proved by him that he had told the old gentleman the truth. Entertainment on Friday Night It will be seen by advertisement in anoth er coluratTf thafan entertamraent, consist ing of charades, tableaux, music and supper, will be given on Friday evening, for the benefit of the Second Presbyterian Church , at the store room formerly occupied by Elias, Cohen & Roessler, opposite the Char lotte Hotel. The enterprise is a deserving one, and it gives us pleasure to commend it to the people of Charlotte. The entertain ment will, without doubt, be creditable to those who participate, and interesting to those who attend. There is some beautiful material in this city, and the tableaux will not fail to interest ; the charades will show what amount of theatrical talent we have among us ; of the musical genius which will be employed we need not speak, and last though not the least attractions, will be the supper and the fun. The second church needs money, When our people can contribute it, and by doing so pass a pleasant evening, we think they will do so. We hope that the : citizens of Charlotte will make a display of their liber ality on Friday evening, and that the ladies will meet with ail the encouragement they anticipate. The Opera House .Last. Evening. The Berger Family performed again last eyening before an audience quite respecta ble as to size. The entertainment was bet ter, in many respects, than on the eyening previous. The programme was changed yery little, but, to those who were not pres ent on Monday night, it was new, while to those who were, it was none the less inter esting; perhaps it was more so; for those character songs lose nothing by repetition, and a second hearing of .them enables one to eet better into their, merits, and to better appreciate their Judiciousness. Miss Anna was more charming than ever, and in no character did she elicit more ad miration than 4S the VLjttle Fraud.". We thought as we looked at that long moustach ed Dutchman, that if we. had been in his place we would have gone for her then and there, without regard Uy race,, color, or prev ious condition of servitude. Aside from her beauty and refinement of face, her : many winning ways , render her exceedingly at tractive and draw all hearts to her. Miss Anna is prettier and more bewitching than she has ever been before. (It may be that we think so because her sister is married.) Miss Ettie's .musio-upon the .goblets was excellent ana ; astonishing, . ana the music, throughout, was in nowise inferior to what it was expected to be. There is a great deal of musical talent in the company, and the bell ringing, the cornet, harp, flute, and violin playing is splendid. Mr. McKee excelled himself last evening, particularly in Tooraloorallee.'! t This is laughable , in the extreme; so is ''Old Brown XJaughter1 Old S Gentleman " and The Swell,"; by! Mr. 1 Grand, were excellent, particularly the former. s The troupe leaves this, morning 5 for Spar tanburg, and to the people of that place, we heartily recommend it. We are only sorry that it leaves us so soon. ' We wish it the success which it merits, and rest a special benediction upon the head of Miss Anna. We. are gratified to learn that the encourage- ; mentoitended the Bergen in Charlotte was I quite as great as '.they expected and that they will certainly take us m on their next tour.

Congress, and which goes into operation on the. first of January next, requires all newspapers and other pe riodicals to prepay the postage on all - the matter they mail to their sabscribers. Two cents per pound' is required to be paid on all matter published once a week or oftener and three cents per pound pn all matter pub lished less frequently. On, the recommenda tion of the Postmaster General, this prepay ment of postage is to be made by postage stamps. It is stated that a series of stamps of twenty-four denominations has "been de vised, by means of which any postage from two to seventy-two cents can be paid at the above rates by one sjip of tag having " the proper awmps aitacneu wJfc, wr uiau five being reqjre4)bAy ium that is a multitude of itner the. two or three-cent rate up to seventy-two cents. It is provided that the leaf or slip on which the postmas ter write bis receipt for the publisher shall beeut from a book, the posts aster retainiog the book with the stub and the stamps on it, which are to be cancelled by being perforated by a punch for that purpose.4 - The receipt given will show the weight and the postage paid. While this plan save a great deal of labor and time, it is also expected to greatly increase the revenue from the Poatoffice De partment. - Proceedings of the Board of County Com missioners.
