The bitterness which had characterised the

was net le-s pleasant for this reason. It was
very spring like, and brought cit number
of people. While the bells were ringing the
streets wew throngel, and by the time they
had all ceased, the churches were better fill

open ior services except the Lutheran, and
the services were without change from the

steps to prevent any speculation in teits for
Booth's peri 'nuance in this ciqr on Tnes

by forbidding tbe sale of more than five seats
to any one person. This is exactly right.
A specu'ator could otherwise buy fifty r a

at a pn fit to hirm-elf of two or three dyllars

A Church Inrldent.
A gentleman who was at church the oth
er Sunday, and who sat with the "pea-nut
crowd," iu the gallery, mentions an inci
dent which, though small of itself, was so
suggestive as to have deprived him of bear
ing the sermon. From his seat in the gal
lery, the gentleman looked down upon a lit
tle shaver, four or five years old, sitting with
bis mothe in the body of the church. Tbe
minister hld' lierdly taken bis text, before
the little fellow nodded once, and then com
menced fumbling around in bis mother's
pocket f r ber handkerchief. . Finding this.
he spread it nut carefully oyer her lap, con
suming about three minutes in geting it fix
ed to suit bim. Then he laid his bead csue-
fnliy on tbe bandkerch ef, so as not to grease
his mother's dress, the n. other caught hold
of his teet, raised them up, and 'stretched
aim Qesraigb$ on the seat. f AM tb

Tbe minutes of last meeting were read and

Artuiste; d Burwell, E-q , appeared before
the Board as attorney, in two matters ; the
first was in reference to a claim of 8 A Har
ris, against the city for rent of ho ose of Miss
Sterling for use of Ff re Company ironl ' May
la70 to January 1st, 1871, which ws, on
motion, referred to the Finance Committee;
the second, iu regard to a claim of tbe Rub
ber Manufacturing Company, for hose fur
nished tbe city. Mr B. asked if the answer
filed in Court in sait the agaii.st the city by
said Corn y indicated tbe policy to be pursued
by the Board in the matter, urging tbat the
claim was just, and that the hose was no
iu use bv the fire comi anies. On motion of
Alderman Ltowd. amended by Aldermen
Sims, it was ordere i in reply to Mr Burwell,
that while the suit is pending iu Coon the
Boa. d do not deem it necessary to declare
any policy in regard to it."
An application in writing was presented
from Geo W Howard, recommended by va
rious citizens, to be appointed on the police
force, in ca e the force is to be increased.
Ou motion, it was ordered tlat the applica
tion be laid on the table.
An application from J L Orr was present
ed, it referred to bis loss of $20. by reason
of the suspension of the Bank ot
Mecklenburg, leaving tbat amount in the
checks of said Bank on his bands, it beii g
pertol the sum paid to him on account ol
bis salary a short lime beloie. and asking
that tbe Board wou d remit bis taxes for '-he
j ear 1875, (amounting to $5 50) on his re
turning taid $20 in checks to the city.
On motion of Alderman S.rus (after tae
los of a motion to lay on the table) ordered
tbat he be paid $5 50 on bis returning to the
City Treasurer the $20 in checks.
On motion of Alderman Dowd, ordered
tbat to the policemen owing poll tax to tbe
city for the year lts75 there be paid each, as
compensation in addition to tbeir present
salaries, the amount of said poll tax.
Alderman Mjers stated that he voted
"no" on the a ove motion, not because of
hi y unkind feeling toward any of thejolice
nieu, but because the present finandal con
dition of (he city does not, in his opinion,
wan ant any unusual or extia expenditures,
not necessary, 4 c.
A petition was presented signed by sundry
liquordealers, asking that tbey be granted
the license to retail for the year, on making
the payments of the tax quarterly in ad
yance. Alderman Myers thought tbe hard
times as to getting money should induce the
Board to fyorabiy consider toe petition.
Anr a discussion of tbe subject by several
Aldermen, it Was finally ordered. onWtion
of Alderman Brown, that Retail License be
$150 per "annum, payable in advance and
that Wholesale License be $120, payable in

The Highway Robbers Two More Ar-
restedvSeyeu Mow In Custody.
Two more of tbe sooundrels who have re
cently be- n engaged in tbe business of rob
bery in and near this city were arrested and
held tor trial. One of these, Ferdinand Hen
dricks, was arrested by a negro at the Noith
Carolina train, which he was about boarding
i u order to escape from the city, and the
other, Dennis McCoy, was taken, by Mr C
Orr, in the country ; he bad gone to Mr O.
to hire, and being pretty closely questioned,
took up an idea tbat he was suspected, and
ran. Mr Orr gave chase, captured him, and
brought bim to tbe city,
Bttortlv after noon, tne whole crowd of
1 i m
robot ra, consisting of the two just meuiion-,
ed, Ab. Work, alia Potts, Alt Davis, Jim.
Poindexter. Adam Phi ft and Harry Lyons,
(woo was. arrested at bis place of residence),
were taken to tbe office of Justices Mc
Niuch and Hilton, for a preliminary exami
nation; Justice R E McDonald was invited
to sit with these gentlemen in the hearing
of the Cise, and did so. After the trial had
been gone into, Ferdinand Hendricks turn
ed State's evidence, and divulged all the se
crets of the clan. Il , transpired, through
him, that the gang-namtered 32 members,
aud tbat their organisation was perfect. Alf.
Davis was tbe President, Neal Knox tbe
"Captain," tnd Ab. Work the Trtasurer.
Thev had regular meetings in the Five
Points. Harry Lyons furnishing the room,
lights and fuel; in this room tbey assembled
on Sundays, and at such other times as they
were not out on ' business," to play cards
and otherwise interest themselves. The
Piesidenr, so the State witne s testified,
rarely ever went out with the gang ; he pre
sided at tbe meetings, and mapped out the
routes and programme ; it was the duty of
Neal Knox to lead in these expeditions, and
to direit the course of the others when they
found a victim After eich robbery, a meet
ing was heid and tbe booty was divided
The witness cave accounts of the recent
robberies, which accounts tallied sub-rtan
tially with those previously published in
tbe Obsieveb. . He stated further, that tbe
operations of this clan were not confined to
this city or community, but that their terri
tory extended as far as Raleigh and Golds
boro, and that several of the members are
now absent from this city on basinets for
tbe gang.
Several other witnesses were examined
and the proof being regarded as conclusive
all those indicted were committed to jail in
default of bail in $1,000 in each case, Harry
Lyons among the number.
The negro Hendricks is a mulatto, uud ia very
sm m. His statements are credited except as
to tbe extentof the organizttion. Although
he alleged thit tbere were32 numbers, be
was only able to call over the names i f 16. He
stated that he was from New York, and that
he came here with tbe last ircus. Upon
his person was foaud a nolfr-b.ok, and in it
tbe following entry, made on the 22d of De
cember last. It is of interest : 'Ferdinand
