Some of our citizens have been un der the impression that the recent letter in the New York Herald, on the Meck lenburg Declaration, purporting to have been written from Charlotte, was from the pen of Rev. Mr. - Harding, of the 2d Presbyterian Church. We are au thorized to state that Mr. Harding is not the author of the communication above referred to, nor has he written anything on the subject. 0 Dr. Fox's new residences on Poplar street, or Cemetery Avenue will be quite an addition to that part of the city when completed. Subscribe. Straggling home this morning at two o'clock, when the world was in dream and in sleep, we came solemnly' to the conclusion that everybody ought to subscribe for their city paper. Reader if this catches your eye in a borrowed paper, put it down immediately and walk up to the corner of Trade and College streets and subscribe. . Our city list is now in the neighborhood of six hundred. It would to be "three times as large, if every reader was a .subscriber. Another Fire. There was an alarm of tire at nine o'clock last night, and with the late conflagration fresh in their minds, the citizens were Bdon aroused to a high pitch of excitement. The three fire engines and the hook and ladder com pany were soon ready for duty, and repaired to the scene of action, which was on the corner of College and Fifth streets, in a small frame building, the property of Mr. H. G. Springs, and oc cupied by colored people. By a de termined effort of the fire department, the fire was soon extinguished. Loss, not more than $250, uninsured. A great many of our Goods iwere purchased at a reduction of 25 percent., the full benefit of which, we will give to our customers. I An examination of our Goods and prices, will convince every one, th it our 1 assertions are j -u B ON A FIDE , An old frame house on Trade street, just opposite the first Presbyterian Church, is being removed, and a sub stantial brick building will take its place. So much for progress. Mr. Davidson's colors are "nailed to the mast," as appears in his card this morning. He refuses to withdraw as a candidate for the mayoralty, and will "fight it out on that line if it takes all summer. . it st and that we niean hist what we sav. our regular spring upening win take place in a iew aays, oi wnicu, aue notice will be given. - - - KDUPLIAlill & HUTnSbniLD. -:oo:- TO THE MERCHANTS OF Hi 0 0 N NORTH AND SOUTH CAROLINA, We beg leave to call attention to our The meeting at the Market House for Ward No. 2, was broken up by the fire last night, and upon motion the meeting was adjourned until to-night.

A native of India," named Mulhar Rab Guikwar Lena ICushkeil Sumshier Bahadur, was . recently tried for the crime of poisoning, and acquitted'. But he was, of course, guilty, neverthe less.

The edtertainment advertised for Friday night, is one of no ordinary- in terest and attraction. It is for the ad vantage of the whole community, the object being to raise funds to aid in de fraying the expenses of the Centennial Celebration. An old apology for the extravagancies of Xhristmas is, "it comes but once a year." The Centen nial can come but once hi a hundred years, so everybody can afford this one night's frolic. In the next place, the attractions of fered, are varied and, refined. For lov ers of art, there will be, during the first part of the evening, aii exhibition- of some rare and exquisite marbles. They are of priceless value, but for this occa sion, (coming once in a hundred years) have been lent by their fortunate pos sessors, that all may see and enjoy. For lovers of music, there will be a feast provided. Singers will be there whose silvery notes are worth a golden shower of Danae, and players on in struments whose hands have not forgot ten their cunning.. For lovers of pretty girls, a most bewildering array "each season with her beauteous train." And for those who admire handsome cos tumes, a treat rarely enjoyed. An en thusiastic friend, who has- been behind the curtain, said to ma with, a woman's indescribable emphasis "they are love- yperfectly lovely." All that pure high toned, artistic taste can do to make a pleasant entertainment has been done, and this, when guided, di rected, and held in place by one whose genius for developing the beautiful amounts to an inspiration, ana is only equalled by his energy, patience and generosity! make us thankful that the Centennial came in our time and gener ation. John E. Owens Will be in this city on the 6th May, The Nashviiie Union and American says : "No dramatic entertainment in Nashville since the war has given more complete satisfaction than that of the comedv of 'Self,' last night, by Mr. Jno. E. Owens and his admirably selected company. The audience was large and very demonstrative, and the salient points of the play Avere received in a manner that must have been appreciat . ed by the artists concerned. The play Is in itself both interesting alid dramat ic ; but the acting of the widely differ ent characters was so r forcible and marked that a less meritorious com position would have passed current ut such talented hands. As tho retired banker, John Unit, Mr. Owens has, if possible, surpassed even his former ex cellence as 'Caleb Fhimmer' and 'Solon Shingle.' The old man of sixty-eight winters, on the 'down hill of life, is a creation entirely differing from either of the abovo characters, and it is really a wonder that the artist should succeed to such a great extent in depicting the The Cantata- to-be- giveaJby the aprSo adies and gentlemen of Charlotte, for the benefit of the Centennial' Celebra tion, takes place on Friday night, and as the box sheet'is not to be found at the usual place, and further as it. is said that reserved seats will not be sold for that occasion, but that many seats are marked off: for certain , par ties, we wisn to Know wny id is course is pursued, and parties desirous, of taking ladies to the entertainment are debarred from securing seats' for the occasion, and we, as frequenters Of the Opera House, demand that the Dia gram be exposed for the Bale of tick ets at the usuBual place.
