Orr, was robbed on Monday night or yesterday morning of about $40 worth of provisions. The thief got up-to the window by means of boxes, aud twisted the blinds off. He took a kit of lard, a box of crush sugar, two or three bams, a side of bacon, and perhaps other articles. The pan try joins Dr4 Or r's sleeping apartment, and the thief must have worked with much skill and quiet to have kept himself from being heard. There is no clue to lead even to a suspicion who he is. Ice on the- Ponds. . The cold has at last struck bottom, and there is now no lack of ice on the ponds in the vicinity of the city. Yesterday it was two and a half inches thick, and two or three of our citizens made a start toward filling their ice houses. Several skaters were on Phifer's pond, and, wherever water was to be found, ceniars .were had that genuine Winter had at last come upon us. Judging by the feeling in the atmosphere last night, the congeal men t of the aquid element will extend, to-day, at least four inches below the surface of the same. Handsome Work The store which our close neighbor, S. P. Smith, Esq , is haying built, is now nearing completion. As we have heretofore spoken .of the exterior of the house, it would now be well for us to soeak of the interior. The work on the walls and ceiling was done by Messrs Harry & Krueger, and it is credita- bTp to them. . A handsomer pjece of frescoe- Ling, painting ana cornenng, is not to ds seen in the city. The major part of the work was done by Mr. Krueger himself, 'and that it was we-dope, wUl become apparent to wry one'who will drop In and examine it. : ! A Good Showing. W e have before; ns, the 4asV rePrt Juade by Prof. Mclyer, as Superintendent of Pub lio Instruction in North Carolina. In it a passage occurs, which we transfer to our col umns with pleasure, because U not only re flects credit upon our County Treasurer, but upon 6ur county as well.: It is a distinguish ed compliment to both, and is all the more a compliment because it is official in its na" ture. The following la the extract : "The city schools of Charlotte, organised a year ago, Rev. JVB. Boone, Superinten dent, baye been Very successful. 8. E. Beik, the County Treasarer,Mn his report and ac count of July 1st, has charged himself with six hundred dollars interest, which he re ceived on the deposit of school money in bank. He has heretofore accounted for in terest received on deposit of school money, and is the only Treasurer in the- State who has done so. ' " .

The "Fairfield," the shifting engine in the yard cf the Charlotte, Columbia A Augusta Railroad, broke down yesterday afternoon, while moving some cars. ' The axle of the right hindmost driving wheel, snapped and the wheel fell over, and had to be cast off. The engine will be towed to the shops, at Columbia, this morning. The "Fairfield" is the oldest engine at present " on the road. She is one of those little, old fashioned things, which remind one that she is the first of her kind ever made. Old employees of the road feel at tached to her, and would be sorry if her dis ablement should be more than temporary. ' i- Come Back Home. Some years ago Ransom G. Hickerson, Esq., a well to-do citizen of Wilkes county, in this State, became dissatisfied' with his home, and so picked up with bis family and moved to Arkansas. He did not go there a poor, or a friendless man, hunting for some thing to sustain life ia. a land of entire strangers ; so far from this, be had plenty of money and went into a neighborhood which was settled by numbers ofvhis form er associates and friends.' He tried Arkan sas fully, and yesterday he passed through Charlotte on his way back to his old home. He says people may talk ahout tnV'glories and greatness of other States just' as they wish to, but as for his part, North Carolina is the best he ever saw, is good enough lor him, and during the remaining term of his natural life, he will stick to her. Something New In Weddings r We clip the following out of an exchange, and put it in our local columns, because any thing of this nature is local, anywhere in the ciyihzed world : " Groomsmen are done away with, and ushers take their places. As these last are essential to the number of eight, tbe supply of suitable and available young men would be exhausted if eight or more were necessa ry as groomesmen. Besides, the" effect around the chancel is finer if the girl's pret ty dresses are not marred by the interming ling of black coats. Gentlemen ought to re joice that they do not have to go through the trying ordeal of. kneeling around a chancel in full view of hundreds of eager, curious eyes behind them girls who attend a wedding just for the scenic effects. The floating drapery of the bride's maids appears toTeven greater advantage when the fair wearers kneel in graceful posture, but the men look ridiculous with their coat tails touching tbe steps, and the soles of their boots turned upward. At a glance, the ob servers can easily tell if these boots are old or new, and the number worn. So grooms men are things of the past, and the best men has only to stand by the groom until he i receives the bride. The ushers, after seating the guests walk up tbe aisles of which they have charge, after the bridal par- ty enters, and take side seats. All passes off smoothly, as these affairs now-a-days are al ways rehearsed in church beforehand, the minister giving instructions in regard to the time for standing or kneeling." Cheatham's Champion Prolific Cotton Seed. We had a call yesterday evening from Capt, John T, Cheatham; proprietor of Cheatham's Champion, Prolific Cotton Seed. This gentleman visits our city with a view of introducing his celebrated cotton seed in this section of our country. He bears with him testimonials of his character, and the reputation his cotton has attained, but what is parhaps better he brings" With him his cotton which speaks for itself. Mr. Cheatham informs us that he has been seven years in bnngiiig his cotton to its present perfection, .and claims that with good land, and a proper system of cultiva tion it can be made to produce, five bales of cotton to tbe acre, and even more. It has been said, and well said, that "he who causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, is a public benefac tor." Judged by this rule, we have no doubt that he richly merits the appellation. We have examined the Hat and in pur weak judgment, pronounce it equal . tq tyaj we have ever seen. It has been sold in the Savannah market at an advance of 1J cents, over the top of the market for upland cotton, which seems to us to be a sufficient , recom mendation, to commend it to every farmer, or for that matter to any one who might de sire to cultivate a small area, aS is frequently done by many of those who, are not directly interested iil farming.' The Branch Mint In Cnariette..' . ,. . In view of recent Congressional legislation regarding" the United States -Assay . office ;n this city, the following letter will r be inter esting to many of our readers in Charlotte.

The BiKOHER-TttTO ; Case. The admission' Mondayl of thtf evidence of Theodore Tilton, in the case pending against Rev. Henry Ward 4Beecher in .Brooklyn, brings: to the.Vyitness stand one. of the leading characters in that domestic drama, ; ,HIs : ttestimor.y, though practically a repetition of the story of shame upon which the prose cution rests, possesses various points of that peculiar interest which usually attaches to narratives elicited in trials affecting social affairs. There is a dramatic spice about several of the scenes depicted by Tilton, none per haps more ' amusingly suggestive ot sentimental humbug, in the light of the present situation than that pre sen ted at the supposed deathbead of the "mutual friend," when the rever end gentleman, with lachrymose ten derness, kissed Tilton on the forehead, and said, "Frank is very sick ; he is at the grave's edge; l am afraid he will die; and what then will become of our case ?" During the delivery of Tilton 's evidence his wife, and also Mr. Beech er, Mrs. Beech er, and other male and female figurants of the Plymouth social circle, were in court, and it ia staged that during the relation Mrs. Beaohor 'itedlrtiajcjentli.
