CITY BULLETIN
Regular monthly meeting to-night of the
Hornet Fire Company.
More rain yesterday: this uncertain, ir
regular, cold and disagreeable xain. This
isn't pleasant Weather, by a jugful.
The ladies of Tryon Street M, E. Church,
have put a new and beautiful carpet on the
floor of their church.
The officers of the fire department will
have their quarterly inspection to-morrcw
(Saturday) morning, at 10 o'clock.
Within the memory of the oldest report
er, there has not been so dull a day for news
in Charlotte, as was yesterday.
We are told that a man will shortly es
tablish a bar-room in this city, and will giye
a chromo with eyery twenty drinks, for
which drinks cash is paid.
This, from an exchange, applies here:
''Scarcely a month has passed since the new
year was born, and yet the world is fall of
broken resolutions and lamp chimneys."
Independence square has been covered
deep with pounded rocks, and these covered
over with sand. If any kind of macadamiz
ing will last, this will.
The story in three sonnets, published on
our third page, this morning, is well worth
reading. It is from (he pen of James Barron
Hope, the editor of the Norfolk (Va ) Land
mark. If the young people intend to have any
more fun this season, they had best be in a
hurry about it. Lent is almost here, and
this will debar many from participation in
the pleasures incidental to the exercise of
the light "piantastio" toe.
The sale of the stock of goods of S Frank
enthal, was concluded last night, everything
having been sold. The sale of the stock of
McMurray& Davis will begin on the 8th
inst., and continue from day to day till
everything is disposed of.
A revenue ofScer, from another town, was
in the city on yesterday. He says he is just
through a raid in Wilkes county, and the
prettiest girl he iaw on the trip, was one
who cussed him till the mountain air smelt
of sulphur, besause he seized her uncle's
crooked whiskey mill.
Hard Times.
There is a general complaint of hard times
and the money pressure. The only remedy
is in hard work and close economy. Avoid
running into debt, and curtail expenses by
wise economy, and you are on the sure road
to wealth and prosperity may laugh at
hard times and the money pressure. Pay
as you go is the true philosopher's stone.
Work and economize.
Personal.
D J King, Esq., Masonic editor of the
Hebrew Leader, of New York City, arrived in
this city last night, and registered lit the
Central Hotel.
John Frey, Esq., of Atlanta, a special agent
of the Post Office Department, has been in
the city for a couple of days rast.
Mr Geo A Hanna, who was formerly con
nected with the assay office, in this city, is
now engaged at the Geological Ma.eam, in
Raleigh, with Prof Kerr.
Gov Vance left last night for Chester. S C,
wheie he will deliver his popular lecture,
"The Scattered Nation," the proceeds of the
lecture to be given to the Ladies' Memorial
Association, to aid in completing the monu
ment to be erected at Columbia in memory
of the Confederate dead.
The Hospital for the Aged and Infirm.
Mention was made, one day last week, of
the fact that the members of the Ladies' Aid
Society, of this city, were taking steps to es
tablish here a hospital tor aged and destitute
women. The building is now nearly com
pleted. It is located on Seventh street, be
tween College and the North Carolina Rail,
road. It formerly stood on Trade street on
the ground now occupied by the "Smith
Building." It has been fitted up with one
room down stairs and three above, and has
been made thoroughly comfortable. A
stewardess and a cook have been provided,
and only a few things remain to be done to
have the institution ready to receive those
for whose benefit it has been prepared.
The course of the benevolent christian
ladies who have put this scheme on foot, is
worthy of all commendation. It is a noble
charity, and will be the means of relieving
the sufferings of many poor and deserving
women.
The Southern Life Insurance Company.
No facta regarding the failure of the South
ern Life Insurance Company, have been re
ceived in this city beyond what were pub
lished in the Obskbvkb of yesterday. A tele
gram was received here yesterday, from Gen
A H Colquitt, of Atlanta, saying that he was
in possession of no details, but that he
would write as soon as hereceiyed particulars,
Some persons here were disposed, on yester
day, to disbelieve the news of the failure of
the company, but there can hardly be a
doubt that the first information was correct.
otherwise contradictory telegrams would
have been received. The failure is singular
ly unfortunate, not only because of the per
SOBaj)oee Which it ' trtpfeptail, bat because
it will feavt a tendency, greater or .less, to
shake confidence, in all Southern mstitu
tions of a like character.
We learn from Mr Woodruff, the contrac
tor for the elegant building of this company
which is being erected in this city that he
will not suspend operations, so far as he can
now see. A mechanics' and laborers' lien
upon the property, of course secures him
from all possibility of loss. ' It would be
fortunate for all our citizens who are inter
is ted, if they were as well secured.
To What Bate Uaes," &c.
The hall of the Young Men's Christian
Association is on the third floor of the Yates
building, on Trade street. Two young men
haye rooms on the same floor of the same
building, and or. Wednesday night when
they started to bed. they heard groans pro
ceeding from the hall first spoken off, as of
some one in great distress. The groans and
moans continued, and they concluded to
investigate the matter. Procuring a light,
they entered the room, and there found, ly
ing stretched upon the floor, a negro wo
man, in a very advanced state of drunken
ness. So much intoxicated was she, that
she could give no account of herself, and so
irrational were the answers which she gave
to all the questions propounded her, that
the young men were never able to learn how
it happened that she should have selected
such a place such an inconvenient place,
too in which to repose and sleep off her
drunkenness. She was, of course, ejected
from the room, which was thereupon locked
up.
The Furbish Fifth Ayenue Company.
This troupe will be in Charlotte in a short
time, and will produce "Two Orphans," the
magnificent drama which took so immense
ly here, when presented by the Hall Com
bination. In order to give our readers an
idea of what they may expect from it, we re
produce here the following extract from the
Richmond Whig, of Tuesday last :
"The Furbish Fifth Avenue Combination
last night, consisting of a host of star per
formers, with such names as Boniface and
Leffingwell among the men, and Mis&.
Amelia Harris, Miss Georgia Langley and
Miss Dollie Pike among the ladies, made
their first appearance this season at the The
atre, and played the 'Two Ophans' to a full
and fashionable house. It was simply mag
nificent, and we have rarely seen a house
more deeply affected by the pathos of the
piece, or more wrought upon by the thrilling
incidents and scenes with which it abounds.
We think in many respects the present ver
sion and company are superior to that, play
ed here before, and to the company playing
it ; Hall's Combination, and certainly the
stage is set much better, and the scenery,
accessories and effects all finer. It will be
repeated to-night, and cannot fail of another
gplendid bouse."
Swearing to a Purpose.
Yesterday an incident worthy meation.
took place in front of the Court House. A
raan from, no one knows where, had come
to Charlotte, and being in that condition
which Mr Richard Swiveler denominated
"having the sun In his eye," argued that he
had fallen among thieves. He halted in
front of the temple of justice, and, standing
on the curbstone, commenced swearing, by
every oath imaginable, but without any
special reference to any particular thing, or
without having any specific purpose in
view. A young man of the city happened
to come along, and thinking that all this
profanity should not b& thrown away while
there is so much to Cuss about, suggested to
the man to hurl a few against Blaine, who
was keeping Jeff Darh still under political
disabilities. It was a happy thought to the
man of oaths, and the point being first
furnished him, he commenced on Blaine
with a will. A crowd gathered to listen to
his eloquence, and the swearest continued
until, becoming more and more overcome
by his frequent potations, the lapsus linquat
became so continuous that the words be
came as an unknown tongue, and his pre
viously well expressed and well-rounded
oaths, degenerated into a gibberish which he
himself could not understand.
The Steel Creek Horror Again An
other Death in Consequence.
From a gentleman who was in the city, on
yesterday, from the Steel Creek neighbor
hood, we learn some additional particulars
of the fearful death, on Tuesday, of the lit
tle; son of Mr Ellyson Walker. Mr. W. had
sent the little fellow out to drive some hogs
from one field to another, telling him to
come straight back to the house and not to
stop at the gin house. It was raining at
this time, and the hands athe cotton press,
after having packed the press about half full
of cotton, went to the house to get' warm.
While they were absent, the li
tie boy went
to the gin house, and, climbing in the half
filled cotton press, dropped off to sleep, as is
supposed. When the force returned, they
filled cotton in on top of the lad, being un
aware of his presence, and applied the screw.
It appears that he was in a sitting posture
when the weight of the machinery was put
upon him. The whole upper portion of the
body, from the head to the hips, was mashed
into a jelly, and the legs were mangled and
broken in many places. Of course the re
mains were totaly unrecognizable.
When the news of the dreadful occurence
was carried to Mrs John Walker, the aunt of
the boy, she was at the table, eating her
supper. So great was the shock, that she
fainted away and in a short time died. She
had been in delicate health, in fact an in
valid, for tome time past. :
Charlotte Gossip by a Correspondent.
A correspondent of the Raleigh Sews, sign
ing himself "Bee Dee Est," writes as fol
lows from Charlotte under date of the 31st
ult. We use only a part of his letter :
"A little elopement 'buzz' has been lately
going the rounds in social circles of a promi
nent young lady and a modest gent in tms
city. The thine is sub rosa. but enough is
known that the parties are absent.
"A story is told of a nop here on the night
preceding Booth's appearance, at which
Warde, the New York actor was present,
and was introduced to one of our 'London
belies.' He dramatically kissed the young
lady's hand, whereupon her 'big bud' got
wrathy and was about to cane Warde for
undue familiarity in the ball room.
"It is talked around here in official cir
cles, your correspondent getting his informa
tion from a double rambler, that the 'Fu
ture London' is to begin with a Republican
daily very soon. The principal radical gran
dees and anti-conventionists, more likely
Grant men, to come up with the call and
lay down six thousand dollars for the fur
therment of the enterprise. The reason as
signed, for the movement is to give republi
canism a foothold in this district for the
next campaign, a something which at this
time can't much be boasted of by the ad'
ministration party. On the other hand the
Obsi&vzb is picking up and improving in
its pecituar way."
This reporter -hopes and believes that he
is pretty "well up with the news- and gos
sip, Vid he sweats by the beard of the pro-"
phet that every line of the above is news to
him, except the last sentence of the above
extract. The yTarde am is certainly destl
tote of the requisite density.
North Carolina Hoardlag Honse at Phil
adelphia. This is what the Hills boro Recorder thinks
of the idea of Mrs Beasley, of this city, of
establishing and conducting.while the Cen
tennial is in progress, a boarding house in
Philadelphia for the entertainment of North
Carolinians alone : "Mrs M C Beasley, of
Charlotte proposes to open a boarding House
in Philadelphia during the Centennial ex
clusively for North Carolina guests, for two
dollars a day. This is an inviting arrange
ment and no doubt many T will adopt it.
The fare to the Centennial on the railroads'
will be very low, and board by Mrs Beasley's
proposition being reduced, no doubt many
will go who had been frightened off by the
prospect of the expense of the trip."
Postage on Printed Hatter.
The House of Representatives have passed
a bill to repeal Hannibal Hamlin's double
postage rate on third-class matter, which in
cludes transient newspapers, books, periodi
cals, etc. The bill how goes to the Senate,
and that body will hardly again disregard
the people's wishes, with a Presidential can
didate just ahead. The bill simply resteres
the old rate, which was one cent for every
two ounces or fraction thereof, and permits
all packages not exceeding four pounds in
weight to pass in the mails. The bill passed
the House without a division. Hamlin pro
claims his purpose of killing it in the Sen
ate. We shall soon see what the Senate
dare do in this matter. It is probable that
they will be glad of an opportunity to dis
avow all responsibility far the vicious legis
lation .

The following cases from counties adjoin

News :
Vandiver Teague vs. W 8 & Moses Teague
executors, from Alexander. Argued by M
L McCorkle for State and R F Armfield and
Johnstone Jones for defendants.

Johnstone Jones and R F Armfield for

Candlemass Day.
From a very early, indeed unknown, date
in the Christian era, the 2d of February has
been held as the festival of the purification
of the Virgin, and is still a holiday in the
churches of England and Rome. The
popular name Candlemass is derived from
the ceremony which the Church of Rome
dictates to be observed on this cay, namely,
a blessing of candles by the clergy and a dis
tribution of them amongst those in the
church, each of whom, going singly up to
him, kneels to receive it.
The festival, at whatever date it took its
rise, has been designed to commemorate the
churching or purification of Mary ; and the
candle-bearing is understood to refer to what
Simeon said when he took the infant Jesus
in his arms, and declared he was a light to
lighten the Gentiles.
Considering the importance attached to
Candlemass Day for so many ages, it is
scarcely surprising that there is a universal
superstition throughout Christendom that
good weather on this day indicates a long
continuance of winter and a bad crop, and
that its being foul is, on the contrary, a good
omen.
.
Tee Courts.
Nobody tritd any cases yesterday except
Justice Davidson. The Mayor had none of
any kind and all that the other Magistrates
had were civil, well-behaved and uninterest
ing cases. The white element was in we
majority before 'Squire Davidson, too, which
is an unusual fact, and the first case up in
the morning, was Martha Ann White, upon
the complaint of Elmira Hampton, that she
had been breaking the peace and demeaning
herself in a very unbecoming manner to
ward her, the said prosecrutrix ; however,
before the case had proceeded far, the two
became reconciled, clasped hands across the
bloodless chasm which had intervened tem
porarily to alienate their affections, those of
the one from those of the other, so to speak,
and the charges ' was deplored and with
drawn. Thereupon His Honor announced
that he would dismiss the case upon the
payment of 5 cents and cost; the 5 cents
and cost were forthcoming, and plaintiff
and defendant went off to together.
The next case was that of Bettie Mollis
for assault UDon Elmira Hampton. The
"battery" part was lacking, and it seemed
not to haye been a very blocd-cuidling af
fair after all. In fact the court feared that
the indictment was more because of the in
dieting mood in which Elmira found her
self, than anything else, and therefore let
the defendant off npon the payment of the
cost. It is not on record that there was a
reconciliation in this case as in the other.
"The next and- last ease of the day, was
that against Wm Utiley, . color ed?i for a
breach of the peace. It was established that
some violence had been done this dignified
presence, by the aforesaid William, but its
character was not so grave as to warrant the
Visiting upon him of very dire vengeance ;
so he was promised his liberty if he would
pay the cost. He stepped across the street
to get the requisite amount, and, np to the
hour of going to press, had neglected to step
back. It was an unfortunate ending of the
day's work and in consequence of it, gloom
covered the court and the two orphans, even
as a garment.
A Centennial Billiard Toueka
ment. During the month of Juno of
the present year a billiard tournament
will take place in Philadelphia on a
scale exceeding anything of the style
ever before, attempted in Europe or
this country. Encouraged by the suc
sesa of the tournament of 1874, of
whioh he was the originator, Mr. Mat
thew Delaney has offered the sum of
$5,000 to be contended for in the com
ing tournament. The winner of the
first prize is to receive $2,000, second
$1,500, third $1,000 and fourth $500.
