Miss Sallie Holman, who was here last week, is sick in Richmond. Clark Hall, for being drunk and a nuis ance, was consigned to the calaboose yester day evening. By an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that a young man of first-class qualifications can get a position as book keeper. The Mayor thinks that he cannot, in jus tice to the city's demands upon him, visit the Wilmington Fair, but quite a number of the Aldermen will. The runaway of the horse attached to the Central Hotellopcart, through Tryon street bout dark last evening, was the most exciting street event of yesterday. The police had the calaboose nearly full yesterday evening. There were nine per sons, of both colors and sexes, in there for drunk, disorderly, Ac. Those troublesome, depraved wretches, Ella Bell and Lila Robinson, were again be fore the Mayor yesterday, for disorderly con duct. They were fined $12.50 each, in de fault of which both were committed to the lock np. We are requested by the ladies of the Sec ond Presbyterian Church, to say that they will serve lunch to-day from 11 o'clock until 3 at the room where the entertainment was held last evening. Gen. James Longstreet, of Louisiana, pass ed through this city yesterday morning, on his way to Washington. He made no stop page, but, arriving on the Air Line, took the North train at once and went on. An Incident. And when that strange gentleman had finished getting up, after baring fallen down over a dog on College street yesterday even ing, he delivered an oration which, for fervor of language and zeal of delivery, has not been equalled in this city since the time when the first dog was a pep. Charlotte, Columbia 4c Augusta Rail road, It appears from the annual report of the Treasurer of the Charlotte, Columbia & Au gusta Railroad,that the condition of the road is not so prosperous as formerly. The re ceipts, for the financial year just past, are ten thousand dollars less than those of the proceeding year. Resigned. We learn that Capt. Geo. N. Waitt, who has been for ten years past a passenger con ductor on the North Carolina Railroad, has resigned that position. His resignation has been accepted, and will take etSect on the 1st January. Capt. Waitt will nioye to Raleigh, where he will go in business with his brother. The traveling public will re gret that he leaves the road. He is as ex ceedingly courteous and attentive conductor, and has many friends along the line of th road. To Play Two Nights Here. Miss Ada Gray, manager telegraphed Mrs. Sanders last evening, to reserve the Opera House for this troupe for the nights of the 16th and 17th, inst., as it desires to play here two nights instead of one. So the lovers of the ligitimate drama can hold themselves for next Wednesday and .Thursday nights, and we assure them that they will hardly... raise expectations, too high, if , we can depend upon what is said by papers in many of the leading cities of the Union, which . in gen eral matters, are held to be reliable. Bonds Filled. W, H. H. Houston will soon again breathe the air of liberty, his friends having bail ed him in both cases. One of the bonds was filled in Mecklenburg, -and the other in Union. The signers of the one in this coun ty; eie J, W Wadsworth, WiJ. Black, R B. JiVallace and Peter, Harkey ; the signers of the one Jn Union were. C, Austin, W. H'. TrostJ. D. Stuart and E, A. Armfield. The bonds were presented to the Judge of Probate of this county, yesterday, but on ac count ot some informality in the one from Union, it was not accepted at the time., but sent back to Jfonroe for correction. It . will probably be returned' to-day or to-morrow, when Mr. Houston will be released from custody. , ' - - , .- iv". i- ' w-;, First Through Train to Wilmington' ?

Giles Butler, colored, of the firm of Giles Butler & Co., reported to us yesterday morn ing that some individual unknown to him, had feloniously and with malice prepense, appropriated his chicken coop, and all the chickens contained therein, on the night be fore, at about half past seven o'clock. He .asks us to make an appeal to Judge Schenck to return and finish up the business com menced so commendably week before last' to send the class of sneaking scoundrels, who prey upon honest men's goods, to the Peni tentiary. . -- i Through to Charlotte. Schooner Chas. W. Holt arrived here yes terday with a cargo consisting of 303 tons of railroad iron for the Carolina Central Rail way, a portion of which is to be used in lay ing the track in the gap between this place and Charlotte. Col. Ames, the contractor, was in the city yesterday, and we understand that he says that the road will positively be completed by Tuesday. Col. Fremont is on the scene, and matters are being expedited as rapidly as possible. There is no cessation to the ring of the hammer, as the work is being pushed for ward, by night as well &s by day. Wilming ton Journal. Another Receiver Appointed for the Air Line Railroad. We mentioned yesterday a rumor that the United States Court at Savannah, had ap pointed another Receiver for the Atlanta & Richmond Air Line Railroad. The follow ing, which is from the Atlanta ConstittUion, of the 10th, is confirmatory of the rumor : "On last Saturday, the bill filed by ;the bondholders against the Atlanta & Rich mond Air Line Railroad Co., et al. was ar gued in Savaniah before Judges Wood and Erskine. The court reserved its decision. We learn that on Tuesday, the opinion of the court was delivered, and that a gentle man by the name of Fisher, was appointed receiver to act in the interests of the bond holders. This is receiver No. 3. Whether he will ever get possession of the road, and what effect such a possession would have upon the rights cf the contending parties, are questions which it is hard to answer. It is quite certain that the Hoyt party will re sist Mr. Fisher getting possession of their end of the line, and hence we have the pros pect of at least one more big fight," Where all this litigation is to end, and what it will result in, can hardly be sur mised. A Negro Falls iifto a Well and Climbs Out Unhurt. It is known to a good many, that there has been, until recently, a pump in front of the new store occupied by Elias, Cohen fc Roe sler ; the depth of the hole under the pump is 15 or 20 feet, and from the bottom of it pipes run into a tank in the middle of the street. Be it understood that there is no water in the hole over which the pump was. The digging of a well directly across the street, has rendered it advisable to fill np this hole, and yesterday the wall was taken out, preparatory to doing this. While those doing the work went to dinner, leaving the hole uncovered, a little negro boy, perhaps 12 or 13 years old, came straggling along. He walked right up to the edge of the bole, and, while several gentlemen were looking at him, fell in. As his feet slipped down one side, his head hit the other, and, head foremost, he descended to the bottom. Expecting that he had been mangled and killed, those who saw him hesitated to go up to the well, dreading to witness such a sight as they expected would be presented. One gentleman, however, walked to the edge, and as he peeped over, the darkey came climbing deliberately up a ladder which had been placed in the welL He was neither laughing, crying nor excited ; he only looked like he was mad, and the only thing that gae evidence of his speedy de scent was that his wool, face and clothes, were filled with dirt. He had fallen on his head ; that was what saved him. He had forgotten his hat when he came up the first time, but, when reminded of it, went down the ladder and got it, and when he reascend ed to the earth's surface, waltzed off as lively as a cricket. An Erroneous Statement. It is very far from us to attempt to build up our town by pulling some other one down ; and last of all would we rob eur beautiful "City of Oaks," our own State Capital, the city of Raleigh, of a single dis tinction which is her's by right. We are, however, in duty bound, to see to it that no place, no matter how warmly we feel to wards it, shall lay claim to a distinction which belongs to Charlotte, without our protest being entered. Therefore, we notice the following, which appeared in the Raleigh Nevts, of Thursday : : "A correspondent of the Hillsborough Be corder writes to his paper as follows : 'Raleigh is busy, likewise as a cotton mar ket. The streets devoted to the business are filled up so as to be almost impassable, and th wmntu this vear will- reach 40.000 bales. Raleigh is nd doubt the best cetton market in the8tate, and although prices everywhere at present are low, sun tney are Known to be proportionally better here than elsewhere, and consequently there is no falling off in receipts.' " In the very sam Tpsper (the Newt), on turn ing to the market reports, we read rhTTrtic; Receints yesterday 212 bales. low middling opened dull at 131, and closed weak at 13 a 13.- , v ; ; . ; Now, on the very same day by reference to the Obskbvib, we discover that the sales here were in the neighborhood of 400 bales, while the price quoted, and actually paid, was fox - - - Low Middling ..1313 - Middling ........... I3113 - tie correspondent of the Newt claims that the sales of cotton in Raleigh next year will reach 40,000 bales.? The sales in Charlotte reached that figure lak year, and as we have bad an annual increase since thewar,of at least ten percent,, and as our shipping facil ities are better now than ever, there is every reason to believe .that it will increase orre-pondingly for next year. Christmas it Coming. , Christmas is coming upon us with no lag gard step, says an exchange. Less than two weeks intervene, and prudent heads of fam ilies are already busy devising schemes and making pleasant preparations for the joyous event. Tlit. indications are that this will be the merriest Christmas known , for many years. This year there is every reason to be-' lieve there will be a liberal observance and a hearty celebration by the bid and young,of the sacred festival. We have had a moder ately prosperous year, at least the country has suffered from no finanicial shock, and comparative confidence has succeeded the restlessness which prevailed a year ago. The little ones will come in for their full share this season, and handsome and rich presents will be exchanged among adults. Business must brighten up under the spur of the sea son, and the business man who judiciously bids for patronage will merit and reap the largest reward. Now is the time for display, since the race has already begun and splend did stocks are being laid before the public, and eustomers are looking for attractive bar gains. . . A Tip Top Religious Paper. Our friend, Col. R. M. Oates, is the agent in Charlotte for a fine religious family paper the Union City Herald, of Union City, Tenn., D- W. Chambers, editor. The. chief merits of the paper are; 1st. The refinement which characteries the writings of the ed itor; 2d, The deep religious spirit which per vades the paper: 3rd, The connection of the sentences, and the direct bearing which each one has on an other. We give below a few extracts from the Herald. In the first item the editor essays the poetic : The sun has melted the snow away which makes us remember that day when God will take his people away and the chaff will go up like the hay on sea land in hills and over the way then it will be late for the last to pray when men will have nothing to say and the earth will not appear so gay when Jacks will stop their harsh bray. David killed the greatest amount of guts with a sling, and shortly after, the whole community was deluged in drummers for men to chew guts for Isreal's soap factory. Brother Jonerthan was a good fellow but he wiggled out amid the vines. The democracy is on the look out for the pure sa'utations, and the Gran gar is on tne out look for respect among the nations. Georgia and South Carolina, Florida and Alabama, cares not for nothing but pee nuts and bedara. CoL Oates has a power of attorney from Brother Chambers, and is fully authorized to receive subscriptions for the Herald, give receipts, make contracts for advertising, &c, (fee. Patronage solicited and satisfaction guaranteed or money refunded. The Entertainment Last Evening. -'He who would attempt to "write np" such an entertainment as was given last evening for the benefit of. the Second Presbyterian Church, will. find a more difficult task on his hands -than appears at first glance. Should he go into details, his account will spin out to an unreasonable length ; if he speaks in general terms; his report is neces sarily unsatisfactory to a great extent. We have chosen to speak in the latter manner of the entertainment last evening ; criticism of those who took pari is out of the question. As for the ; tableaux, the ladies who managed them were remarkably happy in the selection of scenes, and of the differ ent persons to take the different parts. The young ladies of the city never looked more enchanting than they did last night. Dress ed, all of them, in becoming style, their bright eyes brighter-than ever, and their fair faces all aglow, they formed a constella tion of beauty and grace which might excite the admiration of the veriest cynic. Right here we almost regret our promise not to part icularize, and teel tempted to break it. Three or four of the city's belles, in particular, unsurpassed themselves, win ning new admirers and strengthening the chains which bound old ones. We need not speak of the gentlemen; the majority of them are quite vain enough already. The music.was creditable to the director, Prof. Phifer, to the.vocalists and pianists. Several instrumental pieces were finely ren dered, and the singing was splendid, as it always is when Charlotte combines her mu sical talent in a concert ; and Charlotte was not entirely alone last evening, for welcome assistance was rendered by Greenville, Greensboro and Columbia, but shall we not now claim this last lady as a resident of Charlotte ? The concert was in keeping with the tableaux ; we cannot pay it a high er compliment, though here, again, we would fain make personal mention. During these exercises, supper had been going on; there were some there as in every crowd, whose appetites were stronger than their love for the beautiful in face, form and art, but a general run was not made on the refreshments until after the performances of which we have spoken above. The supper was bountiful and elegant, and was enjoyed to the utmost. We commend the ladies in that they held everything at moderate prices ; there was none of that extortion which too frequently obtains at church fairs and festivals, when gentlemen are only allowed to pass after their money is all gone. Almost everything which the appetite could crave was there and all "ate and were satis fied." The pleasures of the evening were many, and Aanh nerson seemed to think that it "was good to be theie." The occasion was, really, highly enjoyable, and we are ; sure that every person realized full value received for whatever outlay was made of time, troubleor money. .. The crowd present was quite large .and liberal. - The receipts of the entertainment were about $185, while the expenses were almost nothing. . ... Cabarrus Court. " - . r " Jim Pharr alia Brvce Bar. colored wa on trial yesterday at Concord for the burning of the gin house of Dr. Mills.' The evidence did not sustain' the - charge, and J odge Schenck ordered a verdict of not guilty to be entered. Before the negro was released from custody, he was served with another warrant, this one charging him with the tealing of a hog. He was committed. Clothes for Our Doll Baby. We are profoundly grateful ; indeed we are quite overpowered. Nothing could ex cite within us a sensation of superior thank ulness, unless it be a shooting scrape, a fire, or some other first class item. Last evening when the local historian returned from sup per, he found on his table a bundle contain ing a dress, and so forth, with a little note in a female hand reading as follows : "Mr. Local Editor:- Please accept this small do nation for your baby doll. Yours, fec." But no name was signed. We are duly thankful to our friend whoever that friena is. TFe feared that our doll baby would have to stay In the back ground on account of its scant costume, the same consisting of a blue string around its neck. Several per-, sons called yesterday to see it but public modesty, you know must and shall be respected and we did not show it. Now our friends can come. The baby is presentable. We rigged it out last night in full dress, bib and tuck, though it did cause us to get around to the festival rather late. communicated. A Visit to the Peace Institute at Raleigh. Raleigh, N. C, December 9th, 1874. At half past 4 o'clock on Wednesday, as by previous invitation, the Grand Lodge of North Carolina moved in body to the Peace Institute ; they were cordially welcomed by our esteemed and venerable friend, Rev. Mr. Burwell, The musical entertainment, under the auspices of Prof. Bauman, reminded me of the old times under similar control, in our Charlotte Female Institute, and was very creditable to pupils and teacher. Among the singers were, two of Charlotte's lovely u daughters, Miss Tate and Miss Yates, whose songs, for sweetness, clearness and com mand of tone, cannot be surpassed. The calynestic or Gymnastic exercises, were very good ; they expand the chest and bring the whole of the muscular powers into gradual action, and thereby give health and strength to the pupil. By this branch of study the Peace Institute has added one feature of education which all others would do well to imitate. The whole building was thrown open for inspection, and I must say I think it the best conducted Institute of the kind it has ever been' my pi easare to visit. The young ladies deserve much credit for the .truly neat manner in which they keep their sev eral rooms. When the time came for us to take our departure, we turned reluctantly away from so much loveliness. F. H. G. Monroe is strictly a temperance town. Every merchant in the place is a teetotalar, and all are prosper ous. Says the Wilmington Journal: "From everywhere comes cheering news and good wishes for the success of the Fair," The General Assembly is still ham mering away on the public debt, but it is certain that no action will be ta ken until after the holidays. Sheriff Bell, of Berlin county, has cullt a hall in Windson, "with regular theatre appointments," which will seat 300 people and which will be rented at foper night. A party of young men, serenaders at Asheville, after finding "a light at the window," the window was raised and a black bottle was lowered to them at the end of a string. They choked the bottle and then sang "Mollie Darling " as the good night piece. Weather Probabilities. Washington, D. C. Dec. 11.
