The last night of Katie Putnam. Don't

The Mayor's Court has become one of the

A fellow who was auctioneering off some
sort of a something on the streets yesterday,
causing the gathering of a mob which block
aded the pavement, was very properly caused,
uy me ponce, to siop operations. . . . .
Kobert Woodward, colored, brought to
our office yesterday, a beet which he had
raised inr this city, which weighed 24 lbs.,
and measured 2 feet in circumference.
The Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta train.
due here at 9 P. M., did not arrive until
midnight last night. The delay was caused
by the breaking of some part of the engine
of the down train. No great damage was
done, and nobody was hurt.
We understand that .the Atlantic Fire
Company of this city will hDld a meeting
soon to appoint delegates to the Fireman's
Convention which is to be held in Charlotte
on the 10th of February .Aw6rn Kvt-
Great trouble was had yesterday, in open
ing the safe of Wootens Express, the combi
nation lock having1 gotten out of order. A
large number of persons tried their mechan
ical genius upon it, and it was finally opened
by Mr. John W. Stephens, book-keeper for
Walter Brem & Martin.
On yesterday, Dr. F. H Glover, the
Secretary of the recent joint meeting
of fire companies oflhis city, received
a letter from Mr. Eugene M. Wilson,
Secretary of the Rowan Rifle Guards
bf Salisbury, in which he states that,
at a meeting of the company on Mon
day night last, a resolution was passed
to send delegates to the mass meeting
which is to be heldin this city on the
4th orox. to make arrangements for
the Centennial.

this city, on Thursday, It was Si action
brought by Gen. D, H. Hill, to reefcverdam

Ionian canaie was snot into the loft of
this stable, and it was burned down. The
counsel for the city, Messrs. Jones & John
ston, claim that the ojty canpot be made to
pay the damages ; that the Board of Alder
men can legislate laws and repeal them afr its
pleasure, and that, if any damage result
irom the infringement of a law after it has
been repealed or Suspended, that the Board
cannot be sued, as it could be if the law
were in full force and effect.
After the argument, Judge Schenck with.
held his decision. We do not remember
that a case exactly similar to this, ever came
belore a Court m this fitate.

A Curious Coin.
We know very little about money, and
have seen, since our advent into this exist
ence, distressingly little of it. ; We have
seen some, however, but none like a coin
which we have- now:, in: our possession. It
is marked J'Half Stivejy! and above theae
words is a crown, and below and- partly en
circling them a wreath. . On- the bottom of
this side are the figures : ''1813,'! and circUng
this side of the coin, the words? "Colonies
of Essequebo and Demerary Token." On
the reverse side is the head and face of a
man, and around these the words : "Georgius
III. D. G, Rex."

We told, about two weeks ago, of a man
who was to have been married on a certain
da in this county, and who came to town
to get his license, and afterwards turned up
missing. Well, he has come np to the
scratch at Jlast, and jesterday got his mar
riage license from the Register of Deeds, and
went off to hunt up his charmer. Whether
or no she will now accept the gay deceiver,
we don't know, and it depends a good deal
upbn what sort of a woman she is. The
Register didn't ask Lothario where he had
been all these days, and, as for our part, we
didn't care; to interview that man J s

The Opera House Last Evening.
uanoue witnessed, last evening, a real,

crowded, for the first time, and many per
sons were forced to stand -up The crowd
was composed largely of the very best Deo
pic luc uiijr, auu loeir entnusiasm was
boundless. " The Old Curiosity Shop" was
on the boards, and how well it was played
was attested by the applause of the audience,
Mss Putnam, in the dual characters of the
Marchioness and Little Nell, acquitted herself
with the greatest credit. The gay, ignorant.
ill-treated seryant-girl, was brought, as it
were, before the very eyes of the audience.
The little actress conceives splendidly and
her acting of the Marchioness was true to life,
Her odd language, her outlandish manners.
ner wnoie bearing, repeatedly "brousht
aown the house," and at no time did the
interest lag for an instant. As Little Nell,
TUfiaa T..t..nl -1 f
m uiuiu a uutuige oi tone,- voice
and manner, was so thoroughly per
fect, that it could scarcely be real
ized that it was the same person who
had so recently assumed a character so en
tirely different'.' Her versatility was here
put to a severe test, and was not found want
ing. 411 of Dickens' inimitable nathos was
brought out last night, and the tender, fear
ful, careful, thoughtful maiden, showed her
self in Miss Putnam's every word and move
ment. The death scene and the tableau
following it, were singularly teaching, and
brought tears to many eyss unused to weep
ing. While she surpasses in comedy, she
is excellent also in tragedy ; by her acting
last evening she materially strengthened the
hold which she had previously taken upon
the people of Charlotte. Her song, "Grand
pa, Bless Your Nell," had in it a peculiar
sadness, and was sung with a display of
deep feeling, and with the clearest, sweetest
articulation. In the character song, "Susie
my Darling," as sung by her and Mr. Burns,
both were applauded to the echo.
Mr. Burns representation of Diek SwiveUer
was fine. The drunken, good natured
Dick, with his pompous manners, and
never-failing wit and philosophy, under all
sorts of disadvantageous circumstances, is
one of the rarest characters ever painted by
any novelist, and Mr. Burns "did him up"
last evening, to the intense delight of those
present.
Linyard, as the hateful Quilp was all that
the readers of the story, picture that scoun
drel to have been. His acting was creditable
to the last degree,
Frank Bay, as Slum, Harry Ward, as Samp
son Brass, and W, B. Arnold,aa Grand Father
Trent, all played their part well.
Little' Dot Putnam in her character, songs
and dances, displayed remarkable genius for
one so young, and drew all hearts to her.
She is a charming little thing, indeed, and
goes straight to the heart of all who see her.
She and Miss Katie were both encored, and
came before the curtain., ' 1 " , ; , ' ,
We are sure that the large audience , last
night was highly pleased, and that the com
pany will not lack for large houses at their
two remaining entertainments , f -
This afternoon at ,2 o'clock a matinee
will be given, and the public will be favored
with "The Child of the Regiment," ; in
which Miss , Putnam will personate
Josephine. " . . . ;t"r j' '
The company will, to the regret of all.
give their concluding performance this even
ing.The bleaaing.drama, "Little Barefoot,''
will be presented,' and Miss Putnam will
sing, among other things, '!Barefoot'a Pray
er.' Frank Kay will appear as Wiaidm
Peace. We sincerely hope that the same
appreciation which has been manifested by
our people for the two last evenings, will be
continued on this, the last evening of their
appearance here, this season.
P. We neglected to notice above. Miss
Katie's, singing of "Come, : Birdie Come,"

hands. , But it is otherwise with the yOung.
Actions speak louder than words, and ridi
cule is the most powerful and dangerous of
all gifts. Let all who believe that. dances
have an evil tendency attend them, for only
one winter; and we vouch for it, they will
become the most unpopular of all amuse
ments. Let the stibng minded old dames

good looks and dancing, and wheel them in

teach them how to cut the " pigeon wing

tne ancient, vie with the modern, on " the
light fantastic toe,'! and the stock in the
terpsicorean art will fall at once below zero.
It will render dancing so supremely ridicu

it back inte life again.

Messes. Editors :
Knowing that you .favor any and all meas
ures for the extension of morslicy and tem
perance to the community, I beg a brief
space in your local columns to urge the
good people of Charlotte (the opponents as
well as the friends of temperance) to come
out to hear Theodore N. Ramsay at the
Court House on Monday night. If there is
any one that has neither husbund, brother,
son, or other relative, or near friend in dan-
ger from the seductive influences of the
poisonous glass, that person might have
some excuse for not assisting in the tem
perance movement ; but none others can be
excused.
Mr. Ramsay has fairly won the name of
an eloquent and instructivespeaker, and has
abounded in self-sacrificing labors for the
unfortunate.
It is to be hoped that he will be honored
by a large and appreciative audience.
