H. Houghton, District ; Agent, from Raleigh, announces that Hon. Kemp P. Bat tle, the President of the North Carolina Life Insurance Company, will visit us to-morrow for the purpose of forming a local ad visory board, among the stock and policy holders of this young, energetic, and suc cessful home company. We know of nothing that would add more to the success of this company than this method of identifying it with our people, and our in terests than the formation of an advisory board in Cbarlottee, composed of our livest and best business men. Rocking Train. On Sunday afternoon while the mail train of the Charlotte, Columbia fr Augusta Rail- sctad was on its way northward, some scoun drels tthrew several rocks at it ! just before it reached Chester. -One of these shattered a window glass in the ladies' coach, and creat ed considerable consternation among the lady passengers. The train did not stop, hiosrever, and the rascals were , not detected. When six miles this side of Chester, another party rocked the train. One rock was hurl ed through a window next to the one which had been struck before, breaking out the glass and puncturing th face of gentle man passenger, with glass. Nothing would so soon pat a stjp to such deviltry as this, as thirty-nine lashes on the bare back. ' Badly Covtred Tracks, We clip the following from the local col umns of the Lynchburg (Ya.) Newt, of Sat urday last : : "He who pcrarubulateth the streets for news these days, wasteth his strength for naught, and findeth to his sorrow that the Future London as a nela tor items, is a de lusion and a snare." We wrote that item, word for word, and it was published in the Observer of the 25th. The News man thought it was a "good thing" and clipped it for his local columns. We have no objection to this in the world ; on the other hand we feel rather complimented. and only mention the matter to advise our neighbor of the "Old Dominion" that, here after, when he "cabbages' our locals, to change them so as to make them read "Ly nchburg." i nstead of Charlotte. t m Easter Day. The Lenten season is over,1 the days of fasting and humiliation are ended, and with solemn ceremony, the church has commem orated the sufferings and death of the bless ed Saviour, i On Sunday last, the Christian world celebrated .-witbJ anthems of joy the glorious resurrection The services in the churches which celebrate the! festival, were of peculiar interest ! in the uatnoiic en urea, me, - aiiar was dressed with rare flowers, tapers in profusion were arranged at every available spot the priest was clad in vestments of white, and especial care was taken to render the services the most iubilant. in a Christian sense, of the many j festivals of the calendar The Episcopal Church was dressed in tasteful manner, the choir chanted the most beauti f ul Te Dewms and Laxulates. A sermon was carefully prepared on the feast of the day "The Resurrection." ' I :. -,; ., . I , V'"'''1 R ebbing a Store. -. On' Su hday morning : about 4 o'clock, Policeman; Black welder, in ! passing along Fourth street between Tryon and College, discovered: that one of the doors of the wholesale grocery establishment of R M Mil ler ft Sons, was standing open He repair ed at once to the residence of R M Miller. Esq., the senior partner of the firm, and no tified him of the fact An investigation: re vealed that the thief or thieves had cut or broken the glass in the transom and," getting inside, opened the door, which was fastened with a bar. and were thus enabled to ; re move from the store whatever articles they chose. How much was taken out cannot be accurately estimated. The Messrs Mil ler think that they were robbed of same 500 lbs. of lard, son-e 10 half barrels of mackerel and an unknown quantity of bacon, and perhaps other articles. In a stock of. this size it is difficult to ascertain the extent of the loss. ; , . . There is no clue to the thief and no ini mediate prospect of recovering any of the stolen property. This is the second time within s year, that the store of Messrs Miller ft Sons has been depredated upon, an en trance having been effected , both times in the same manner. , . - ' f , f . i Lecturer Probably Coming, v ;We had the honor of a call, yesterday, from Rev Dr Furman, a distinguished South Carolinian. He was passing; through on his way to Spartanburg, 8. (X, where he will lecture to-night. As a . lecturer ; he has achieved a reputation which : is indeed en viable, and we . learn with pleasure that there is a prospect of his delivering one of his lectures in Charlotte at an early day. Dr Furman is a Baptist minister, but has been compelled, by failing health; to retire from the active duties of the ministry. : ' Mayor's Court. It began to look, yesterday, around the Mayor's office, like the "good old days" when fights and rumpuses were. more, nu merous than they haye been latterly, and when items were abundant. ' The first case called yesterday morning, was that of the city vs. David S tephenson, who had been drunk and disorderly.' Day id found out that it was worth $5 to be drunk and disorderly in Charlotte, James Mills;, white, was charged with be ing; drunk and disorderly and with having swindled David Stephenson. He was fined $5 and bound over to Court. Wra Young and Hattie Young, colored, husband and wife, were up for a domestic row. The woman was fined $2 and the man $1. Appointed Soliciting Agent, We learn with pleasure that our friend, Capt. F. N. Waddell, has been appointed by Col- A. 8. Buford, general soliciting agent for the Piedmont Air Line, Railroad, from Richmond to Atlanta. We congratulate Capt. Waddell upon securing so pleasant a position, but not so much as we do the Pied mont Air Line. They have engaged a gen tleman who is admirably qualified in all respects for the work before him. If we had looked around among all our acquaintances for a gentleman who, above all others, is best adapted to fill efficiently this position, we should have placed our hand upon Capt. Waddell. We know that he will give the utmost satisfaction, and his host of friends In this city and all over the Stale, will join us in hoping that he may find his new field all that he wishes. Sfreet Fight. ' Two drunken characters, Van Galloway and a roan named Fox, had a fight of about half an hour's duration, on Trade street, just below the corner of College, yesterday after noon. Both were very drunk, and the mob which assembled in the street to witness it completely blocked the pavement. Gallo way's drunkenness and awkardness finally knocked the other into the gutter, and in jured him probably in a serious manner. At this stage, the police came up and march ed Galloway off ; Fox was so much hurt that it was found necessary to haul him home on S dray, and at the last acconnt we had of him, he was speechless. Galloway was bound over to appear before the Mayor this nurning. The Opera House Last Evening. Never has been witnessed on the Char lotte boards, such ft scene as transpired at the Opera House last night. The occasion was the appearance of " Ida Cerito'a Lady Minstrels," and the character of the per formance to be given, havfog been pretty well understood in advance, a crowd, in which was represented every class arid con dition of people, save one, assembled there. There were old men, gray-haired heads of families, young men, and boys almost children, whose minds are now susceptible to every passing influence, and who are unquestionably worse this morning for hay ing seen last night's orgies. There was not a lady in the opera bouse, and, with this bare exception, a representative of every other class known to so-called civilization, was there. We cannot and would not describe the scenes and incidents which went to make up the entertainment (?). Some of the min strelsy was very good, but take that part of the show as a whole, and it was no more than ordinary. The singing was simply ex ecrable, particularly that part done by the females. The musical feature throughout was a glorious failure. And as to the remaining part. It was dis gusting, and nothing else. The indecent exi posnresof person, the base, vulgar allusions, the very triumphant looks of the females at the moment when they rendered themselves most infamous, shocked every refined sensi bility, and made us blush that we are of such a creation. All sort of immorality in man can find in us a simple, passing con tempt, but in woman, such brazen degrada tion, is disgusting beyond compare. We hope never to see again such a sight in our opera house as was witnessed there last night It contained eyeiry inducement to lasciviousness, and not one moral or ele vating feature. We "pray thai Charlotte may, in futurej be delivered from such compa nies. The rente nnial Letters from Distin guished Gentlemen. The Executive Committee of the Centen nial celebration, having decided to invite Gen Joseph E Johnston to act as Chief Mar shal on the occasion, a letter was addressed him, begging that he agree to accept the position. , the following reply from the dis tinguished warrior, was received yestercUy, and it gives us great pleasure to lay it before our readers:'; , Savahhah, Ga March 26, 1875. Tlios W Dewey, Secretary &e., ; Dear Sib : I have just had the pleasure to receive your favour of the 24th inst., in forming me of my selection ? as Chief Mar shal on the occasion of the celebration of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.-: - v :.

This excerpt will show the view taken of the Mecklenburg Declara tion by the gallant and patriotic Scales : - , .,,'. Permit me to express my high appreciation of the action of your committee, and to add the hope that he celebration will be worthy of the State and her people and to increase onr btate pride, ard kindle anew the fires of freedom upon the consecrated spot where civil liberty had its birth. Let it be such a success as to put U shame the lying partisans at the North, who, for party purposes are saying that we ha re no love for the rilrt flair tha riri Ration and the old land. I would not miss n lor much. :n IN HEMORIAH. Diied at th rmiilAnm nf Ma Kkt41a Asbeville, N. C, on the 10th of March, 1875. iii me oom year oi nis age, vr. Joseph A. McDowell, of Buncombe county. On the evening of the 10th inst, in siht of the beautiful Swanannoa, and under the shadow of the mountains that he ioyed so well, there breathed his last one of the purest and noblest gentleman that ever drew breath in North Carolina. In paving this tribute to the memory of the deceased, we can point to no brilliant achievements in the. political arena. Such upright and unselfish spirits as he seldom breathe the corrupt atmosphere of politics except so far as is the duty of every good citizen. There are heroes political, and heroes military, heroes of the rostrum and - heroes of the sword, but the greatest of heroes are the heroes of home. Of such was Dr. McDowell, "lis no ceremonial compliment thrown as a sprig of acacia on the grave of the dead, to say of him : 'Generous as brave Affection, kindness the sweet offices Of love and duty, were to him as needful As his daily bread." Dr. McDowell was a son of James and Margaret Erwin McDowell, of Burke county, and a worthy descendant of Gen. Joseph McDowell, of revolutionary fame, for whom he was named. After receiving his diploma at the Char leston Medical Cbllege.the deceased settled in Buncombe county and" commenced the prac tice of his profession. He married Julia A., daughter of Mr. John E. Patton, of Asbe ville, and soon after moved to Randolph oounty, where he was engaged extensively in mining, until the California excitement in 1848 swept like an epidtmic over the country, attracted by the fabulous ac counts of this modern land of Ophir, he, to gether with hundreds of North Carolinians sailed for the gold regions. Returning from California in 1852, he turned his attention to farming until the close of the war, when he became a R R contractor in which businers he was engaged up to the time of his death. The deceased leaves a wife and eight child ren to mourn his untimely end, but not alone among his relatives will his loss be felt. His benignant face, attractive man ners and kindness of heart made him a host of friends werever he went, and no one that knew, either in the JSldorados or ai, home, whether in the shaft or tunnel, on the farm or in the chase, in the parlor or in the counting room, that can point to a blemish in his stainless reputation or will hear of his death without a pang of sorrow. It is pleasant td know that be passed away as calmly' and peacemlly as he had lived and his last Jittirarice;" dark, vail has been lifted from before me aud al is bright and beautiful." " ; " 1 ' A.
