And now we have the delicions bivalve The Red Belts of Sharon have challenged . the K 9, and a match game will be played : in this city on Monday afternoon. The receipts of cotton in this market dur ing the month of September, were 1253 bales. There was nothing in the Mayor's Court, yesterday, and the Magistrates had nothing of any account. The first of the month, now, and it's "that little bill," as the genial collector smiles blandly upon yon. The Institute for Young Ladies began i ts Fall term, yesterday, with quite a gratifying number of pupils. Mrs Bodfish began opening out her stock of millinery and ladies' dress goods, yester day. The small boy is now on the make, and is religiously hoarding up his earnings to go to the'eircus. As yet the Autumn weather has had very little perceptible influence upon the foliage. "What is the Convention doing?" is the question with which the reporter is now most frequently assailed. "The wise man foreseeth the evil," and is laying up a stout pile of wood in his back yard. The voice of the fishmonger is heard in the streets and he seems to be driving a flourishing business. Muscadines, we are told, are greatly be hind time in this section, and will not be in their prime in less than two weeks.; The Cradle Nine were assembled on Trade street yesterday afternoon. They were in little carriages, however, and had the game all their own way. People still slip up and fkll down on the grape hulls, and on the pavements where these hulls abound, profanity doth much more abound. The passengers and railroad men on the Carolina Central Railroad, are loud in their praises of the eating bouse at Iron Station, on the Western Division of the road. They breakfast there. The proprietor of thosi ''nice breeches" attended a foot-washing during Ruther ford Court, and was very much interested with the novelty of the performance. There is no cloudy without its silver lin ing. The same howling winds which will cause our nose to be red and force us to buy winter clothes, will also excuse us from re porting any more base ball games. "We had a 'possum pie, And 'possum was the meat ; Big enough and fat enough. And more than all could eat." Fast Through Train. About to-morrow week a fast through train will be put on the Piedmont Air- Line Railroad, to run from Richmond to Atlanta without change. It will make the trip between Charlotte and Atlanta (266 miles) in 12 hours. T Accepts The rtatuetess Nine authorize ns to ac cept the challenge of the cadets, and to say that they will play then- this afternoon at 3 o'clock on the institute grounds. The members of the Nameless Nine are hereby notified to be on the grounds at the hou designated. The ladies are invited to wit ness the game. Slight Change. A telegram from Capt W H Green, Superintendent of the North Carolina Division of the Richmond & Danville Railroad, requests us to say that hence forth the train on that road will reach Charlotte at 8 a. m., instead of at 8.18, as heretofore. Valuable Property for Sale. On .the 22d of November the property be longing to the estate of the late Thos W Dewey, Esq , will be sold at auction in this city. The Bank of Mecklenburg , building and grounds, and the property- on' Grahapi street, trrdescribed In an 'advertisement' in another column. Second Presbyterian Church. Rev. E. H. Harding will be absent to morrow, and there will consequent ly be no service in the Court House. In this connection we are , requested to state thafr trfe Second Presbyterian Church building will be ready for use to-morrow week. Re-appointed. Mr M C Quinn, was on t yesterday re appointed as inspector of cotton at the cotton-platform, receiving the. appoints ment over a large number of applicants. It was a good selection no one would make abetter or mote careful inspector than he, and we are glad he was re-ap pointed. , Havoc Among Paultry. ' There is ho camp-meeting or confer ence in session in pr near the cityj and the cause.c. ihe, remarkable thinning out of the "clicVeTis"4tumT)town,,' is the subject of a good deal of speculation. Some persons are of the opinion that there'; is a down there. 'possum iiloose somewhere W. N.C. B. B. Stockholder's Heeting ' The meeting UiOStojckhoIders of tne western jxortn Carolina xutiiroaa took, place at ; Morgantpri. yesterday Under the act of the Legislature the J State appoiats three Commissioners and the private Stockholders elect one. It was for this purpose the meeting 'at Morgahton was called Wet have hot heard the result, but a relia ble party told us last night that there was.no. doubt but i that Col. Sto McD. Tate would be Elected on the part Jo the private Stockholders. Returned from Europe. Mr. Randolph Hill, son of Gen. D. H. Hill, of this city, who has been absent for some months on an European tour, for the benefit of his health, has return ed home, greatly improved, as we are glad to state. He made the trip across the waters in a sailing vessel, embark ing at Wilmington, and thinks that his improvement is due to his being thus enabled to breathe the sea air. One of Gov Vance's Hits. There were so many good things in Gov Vance's lecture on "The Demagogue," that it is hard to single out any one part as bet ter than another. But if there was any idea which struck his audience as being a little more humorously expressed than anything else, it was this : "I have been making public speeches," said the distinguished gen tleman, "of one kind and another, ever since I was U years of age ; and will proba bly continue the business, at the old stand, up to the day before the fhneraL" Lugging in "the old stand," brought the house down with a storm of laughter and applause. ewish Say of Atonement. The Israelites will have another holi day soon, Saturday next, the 9th of Oc tober, being what is known to them as The Day of Atonement. The days be tween the New Year and the Day of Atonement, are known as penitential days, and are considered as a time of preparation for the Day of Atonement, which is a time of fasting. Four days after the Atonement Day, the Festival of the Tabernacles will begin and con tinue for one week. John Templeton Coming. A telegram received yesterday morning from John Templeton, asks the proprietor of the Charlotte Opera House to book him for the night of Thursday next, the 7th inst. We are delighted to know that Templeton 1 is coming. We hazard nothing in saying that he will give us one of the choicest per formances we have ever had in Charlotte. We are slow about recommending com panies of the merits of which we are in the least doubtful, but there is no doubt of the excellence of the Templeton Troupe, and we hope oar citizens will show their apprecia tion of this really fine company. . . Death of an Old Parrot. The parrot belonging to Col C J Cowles, and . which has been seen by nearly every one who ever visits or passes the Mint, was sitting in a tree, yesterday ,when she suddenly fell to the ground and was picked up dead. This bird had reached the age of upwards of 25 years, having been brought to this country in 1850, by Midshipman Robt C Duval, of the United States Njavy. She was a very interesting bird, but was too pious to attract as much attention as she might have done ; she couldn't cuss a word. Railway Obstructions. On Wednesday night the South bound train on the Air Line Railroads encountered two cross-ties laid acros the track as it got within eight 8 miles of Spartanburg. Fortunately the train was ascending a steep grade at the time, running at a slow pace, and the cross-ties were thus knocked off the track. The engine was a little damag ed ; not materially. It would have a highly beneficial ef feet if one of these villians who so fre quently attempt to wreck trains on this road, could be caught and swung up on the most convenient limb. Personal. Col John L Brown has just returned from New York City, where he pur chased an eleeant stock of goods for McMurray & Davis. Col and Mrs T H Brem, Mrs H C Eccles. Mrs F S DeWolfe. Mrs!J L Brown and Mrs Evans, are in New York now. Maj W J Montgomery passed through the city last evening on his way home from Rutherford Court. Jas Mallard, Esq., of the Statesville Landmark, was in the city, yesterday. Cyrus Knight, Esq., of the Wades- boro Argus, is registered at the Char lotte Hotel. Tardy Action. .We understand that at Rutherford Court this week, the Grand Jury found a true bill against a man named Mode, for a murder committed nine years ago. The man has been living in the county ever since he committed the homicide, and the case was never investigated un- in wis week, jvioae was arrested, on Thursday and committed to jail. It ap pears that a man whose name we did not learn, was engaged to his sister and was about to marry her, when Mode object ed very seriously, and one day while the betrothed couple were in conversa tion together. Mode appeared on the scene and shot the ' man dead. There is a tinge of romance in the story. m t mm i ' : Pavements. The repairing of the streets seems to occupy a good .deal of the attention o our city fathers,and lest their zeal might abate, we desire to call their attention especially to the pavement on Church street,; from Tryon, North, along the Presbyterian Church yard and the Presbjrterian Cemetery thence down Sixth street to Topll'Te'gvyard. is higher than the pavement.and water falling above soaks, through and makes it almost impassable in winter. Let a good brick pavement be put down, at the expense of the city.. ' , The writer has paid taxes enough! this year to do it, and he feete that his opinions at leas : .iilJa-i- . 1- A -......'- are enuueu w some weiguw - Out Damned Spot !" We were pleased to meet in our of fice on last Saturday our iovial and genial friend Thomas Brem, of Char lotte, N. C. Mr. Brem was on his way to Rutherford court, and was the only representative the bar had from Cfiar- otte. We are very sorry that he eot ink on his nice breeches while in our office, but he can't blame us for his misfortune. Call again friend and we'll sit the ink to one side. Shelby Banner. Nothing is so lacerating to the feel ings of a jovial and genial young man, as to sit down in a keg of ink and get ink on his nice breeches, particularly if the young man has on a short coat and is a good piece from water. Mr. Brem's friends have been calling in squads, since his return, to offer their condo- ence to the nice breeches, and the sad affair has cast a gloom over the entire community. Changed His Base. Mr. W. P. Myers, who has been con nected with the dry good house of McMurray & Davis, of this city, since 1869, has accepted a position as sales man in the wholesale store of Witt kowsky & Rintels, and will enter upon the duties of his new position on Mon day. There are few salesmen in this city, if any, who are better known or are more popular than Mr. Myers, and Wittkowsky & Rintels are fortunate in having secured his services. He is thoroughly versed in his business, is an affable gentleman, and has hosts of Wends over a large area of country. He would be a valuable accession to any business house, and his connection with Wittkowsky & Rintels will tend to extend, in no small degree, their al- i -.;-. -.;TJ-':. reaay iarge Business. A Chance for the Children to Ride. There is one part of the advertisement of Howe's Great London Circus, which adver tisement will appear in to-morrow's Observ es, which will prove of especial interest to the children. Speaking of the ''Collossal Golden Chariot of the Sun, drawn by twelve Andalusian Horses." the advertisement says it will be "surmounted by a magnificent Azure Turkish Canopy, and will appear in the Grand Eques-Hippo-Zoolo-Street Pa geant each day, containing 100 children re sidents of the cities or towns where the ex hibition takes place. All girls and boys be tween the ages of 6 and 12 years are cordial ly invited to take the ride during the grand street display, and are requested to congre gate at the exhibition grounds at 9 a. m." Our advice to parents is, just to open the front doors and let the children go ; they will go anyhow and it will be better to give them permission than to have them j ump out of the second story window and cut through the garden ; for if every boy in the citv don't make a break for the circus grounds that morning by daylight, and take a chance at the "Collossal Golden Chariot of the Sun," then boy nature has changed very much since we ceased to be a member of that pestilent tribe. And that hasn't been oog. The Lecture Thursday Night. The proceeds of the sale of tickets to Gov. Vance s lecture on Thursday night, were $56 ; expenses $33, leaving the net proceeds, $23. There were not as manv persons present as should have been, but when it is con sidered how few of the members of the Young Men's Christian Association, under the auspices of which the lecture was delivered, were present, it is not to be wondered at that persons who feel little or no interest in the cause, did not go. There were not exceeding 8 members of the association at the lec ture, which is not by any means a cred- i table showing. We will not do them the injustice to suppose that the 25 cents admission fee had anything to do with their non-attendance, but it is certain that from some cause or other they were not there. The fact, too, has been considerably commented on, and in no favorable terms. We do not un derstand how they propose to keep up a series of lectures during the winter, when they themselves failed to attend the very first one of the proposed series. Their example in this instance was a very bad one, and we do not hesi tate to tell them so. We do this , too, for no other object than for the good of an order which we would be glad to see prosper; but which never will prosper if the members continues this indifter- ence. Xeye'a Iaboar Iiost." This humble scribe would relate what oc curred in a party of lovable young Charlotte gentlemen, (we'll say six) who went down to Greensboro the other day of course on important business, after attending to which they resumed their weary way to the Future London:' The trip was monatonous, and with only the stale jokes that the young men could rake up, it would have been rather worse, but that on of the party-a lit tle more "cheeky" than the rest, became "taken" with a beautiful young damieotetU in the back seat, and after having written the usual introductions on a sheet of paper, handed them, to the young lady. Matters passed on this way, t. ?., the pen cil and paper programme for some ti rr e, dis closing a smile occasionally on the face of both parties, much to the discomfort of the young man's companions . ; . In this way the time frpm Greensboro to Salisbury was rapidly passed away, and at the latter place, the young gentleman very attentively help ed the lady off, and with exquisite politeness poured in, in succession, the interrogations "How long will you stay "When are you going back ? etc.'; until with disheartening nonchalence, a ragged" arid cock-eyed boy rushed up to the gent, saying: ''What's thur use sayiV anything to my sister-rshe'i deaf and .dumbl" And then the young man hustled into t fatf, car; and quietly, nestled down in his seat, and now it is remarked by those of his friends who do not know the oke, that whenever a certain set of fellows give him a peculiar look, he walks into the most convenient saloon and asks them "what they'll take." Thus does he hope to drown out their recollection of the incident on the rail. communicated. The Greatest Move for Charlotte Now. Messes Editors : Think of the isolated condition of Chatham, Moore, Montgomery and Stanley counties. Think of the coal and gold of Chatham, the lumber and granite of Moore, the gold and silver, and also rosin of Mont gomery. Then just imagine the hidden and wasting worth of good old Stanley, in gold. silver, lumber, grain, hay and inexhaustible water power, easily commanded. These counties, to Carthage, trade in part in this city, and haul their goods in wagons. The object is this : For many years Char leston, S. C, has seen the propriety of a Railroad, tapping this dormant treasure, and to the end of securing it more fully, has put forth all efforts to build a Railroad from Cheraw, S. C, to Salisbury, Dut the last election in Rowan killed the appropriation move in that county. Now, these people all on this line from Sandford, N. C, to Charlotte, desire to join hands with the cities of Charlotte, Raleigh and good old Fayetteyille, and build a road to Charlotte, to connect with the great Air Line. Once looking at the map you will see from Raleigh to this city, it would run via Carthage, near Troy, thence to Albermarle, and on near Pioneer Mills, making the dis tance about 42 miles nearer to Raleigh than by the North Carolina road, and thereby pass through one of the most romantic and self sustaining portions of North Carolina where natural and cultivated industry and intelligence, adorned by the true and unal loyed honesty of 1776, yet abound. I have traveled over a large portion of this spoken of line, and the people wish Char lotte's enterprising men to take hold of it and help them to get the road. With this road.old Charlotte could afford to sleep her 20 years. NO NAME. IN MEMORIAM. At a meeting of Phalanx Lodge No 31, A F and A M, held at their Hall on Monday evening, Sept. 27th, 1875, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, It has pierced the Almighty, in his all wise providence, to remove Bro.
