Tiocal Agent Appointed.
Mr. ihos. H, Haughton, District Agent
of the North Carolina State Life Insurance
Company, with principal office in this city,
has appointed Capt. Thos. H.' Allen, former
ly Chief Engineer on the Carolina Central
Railway, resident agent of this com

Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad-
Meeting of Directors.
A majority of the membersof the Board
ot directors ot the Atlantic, Tennessee and
Uluo KaUroad, met yesterday at the First
National Bank of this city. Those present
were Col. W. R. Myers and Dr. T. J. Moore,'
ot MecKlenbnrg, and Messrs. E. B Drake
and Wilfred Turner, of Iredell. A compro
mise was agreed to, by which Col. Myers, as
fresident, and his Directors, will take
cnarge of the road so soon as an order of
court, vacating the receivership, can be ob
tained. The terms of this compromise aie a
written contract with the creditors under
the Childs judgment, not to foreclose the
mortgage on the road, until the expiration
of the term of office of Col. Myers and his
Directors.
These gentlemen were elected or appoint
ed last summer, bat thought it una lvisable
to take charge of the road in its present state
of financial embarrassment, and according
ly it was lcft in the hands of R. A. Springs,
Esq., the Receiver of the preceding fiscal
year, until a compromise of same kind could
be effected.
Beyond what is mentioned above, we be
lieve no business of public interest was
transacted by the meeting.
Miss Jeanie Patterson.
This young lady, whose readings in this

recently been entertaining the citizens "or
Atlanta, Ga. The Comtitutwn, of that city,
says :
" Miss Patterson shows a decided improve

leserred applause, and the vcune ladv has
good reason to be pleased with her reception
The Recent Cold.
T" it . t
i'roni me newspapers ana teitgrams, we
observe that the cold snap which was ex
perienced in this section this week, was not
local but general. Though short in its dur
ation it was extremely severe, and many
persons in diflerent parts of the country
were frozen to death. Here in Charlotte at
least two narrowly escaped freezing, having
fallen in the streets while under the in
fluence of liquor. They were picked up by
the police and cared for.

Aleck Rouse, colored, was warming himself

by aclerk, who called to him, when he with

About the latter part of this month, the

In this lecture, iioveruor Vance pays a just

Gov Vance repeated this lecture, in At

The Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad.
Mr. A. C. Kaufman in conversation with
us yesterday, stated that the subscription by
Union county, S. C, of $150,000, to the
Spartanburg and Asheville Railroad, was
voted by a decided majority. The interes'
and enthusiasm manifested by the oldest,
wealthiest and besrt citizens of the county,
in the success of the measure, is an earnest
of their intention to help on by every pos
sible means within their power, this great
enterprise part of a chain in the grand
mgiiway uesunea to connect the commer
cial metropolis of South Carolina, with the
mighty West and Northwest. Old Union
has, we think, acted wisely in this matter
iext comes Spartanburg. This is her op
portunity, and she will seize it.
Mr. Kaufman also informs us that the
papers ot Marion and Abbeville, S. C, off
the line of this road, are advocating the
measure. The Marion Star in a strong edi
torial last week, takes up this road as a State
enterprise, and urges upon his editorial
brethren in South Carolina, from one end
of the State to the other, to press its claims
constantly upon their readers until the be
come induced to subscribe it, as a
matter of self interest. Such a spirit,
thoroughly infused into the people, will
carry the enterprise through. - -

The Decisions of the Supreme Court.
Why do the Raleigh papers, not publish
the decisions of the Supreme Court, as they
are rendered by the Judges ? We do not
mean thhat they should give to the public,
the opinions of the court at length, but sim
ply the captions of the cases, with the rulings
of the court made therein. The people' of
the State, and especially the members of the
profession, by the very nature of things, are
compelled to look to these papers for infor
mation as to what is going on in the
Supreme Court ; and if it is not furnished
them from ibis source, they must wait until
the reports are published in book form, as
the law requires, or till some one, who hap
pens to be in Raleigh, will have the good
ness to inform us as to what is being done.
This ought not to be. It is the first province
of a journal, to give to its readers, an ac
count of what is going on in the State, and

The Story of the Sane Lady In a L,uuatic
. Aaylant. ,
About two weeks ago, a correspondent
wrote from Shelby to this paper; that a sane
iady,the wife of a minister of that townT
was confined in the lunatic asylum at Colum
bia, 8. C A petition' was gotten up in Shelby
and sent to Br. Ensor, the superintendent
of the asylum, asking for an investigation,
tiends of the lady 'pressed the matter, and
we, learned last night from a Shelby gentle
man, that she has been released and is now
kt Bidgeway, s. ty- , "' . . v:; '
It is said that the lady Vas u! little eccen.
trie at times, but it never occurred to any
of her acquaintances that she was 1 insane.
Her husband, we are told, lesired Itf be rid
of her and ' took tliis "method. " ; We' could
hope that this story- were hot true, but hate
no reason whatever to doubt it.
The Entertainment .Last Evening.
Prof. A. DeCastro and his troupe, appear
ed last evening at the Charlotte Opera
H. mse, and performed before a crowd which
was not so large as the merits of the troupe
deserved. The p,rformance is ieally merito
rious, and there were lewer "boring" features
aboutit than any similar entertainment we
ever saw. Prof. DeCastro's sleight-of-hand
trickji were exceedingly ingenious ; the
most1 of them really marvellous and inex
plicable. That of the de non's head, with
the cards in its mouth, was especially no
ticeable. Jeppe's character songs were very tine,
and brought Sol. Smith Rnssel very forcibly
to mind. As the "Fat Dutchman," and
also as the "Dutch Boy," he was particular-,
ly happy and was rewarded with great ap
plause and several eneores, 11
Prof. DeCastro is a good ventriloquist.
The Indian Box Trick.as performed by him
and Jeppe, was astonishing,1 and excited no
little wonder.
The aerial suspension of Miss Fannie, was
very fine, and her appearance at the time,
clothed it with additional interest to the
audience. . t ; fe.
This afternoon at 2 o'clock there will be a
matinee, and this evening another perform
ance. We can say conscientiously that the
entertainment is quitejjleasing, and any one
would be interested by it. We recommend
it, very cordially. r , - ; . -t - ? ?

It is to-mOrrow. Those who design send

office to-day they don't mix very well with
Sunday services. We suppose it .will take
an iron band . to restrain the flop" of
the youngsters', livera in anticipation of the
reception of a letter that smells like a'rnusk
rat had been murdered somewhere around ;
and inside is a card-board covered over with
two or three kinds of paper, and when they
finally disclose it, they see a heart with , an
arrow run smack through it and not a drop
of blood spilled, and a little fellow sitting
astride a grape vine overhead, with hot half
enough clothes on to keep him warm with
the mercury at 6 below zero. He is suppos
ed to have shot that stick through that
heart ; and his name is, said to be Cupid,
and we suppose that accounts for the cupid
ity of so many people. And, j ust below are
