The property of P A McNinch, Esq., ear
ner Seventh and Graham streets, in Smith
ville, was sold on yesterday, and was pur
chased by Mrs S V McNinch, for $1,125.
An excavation is being made under the
Charlotte Hotel, preparatory to the fitting
up of a room which will be used by Mr B R
Grey, late of the firm of Mayer, Gray & Ross
as a lager beer saloon.
The Board of County Commissioners met
at the Court, House on yesterday, and will
meet again to-day. We willgive the pro
ceedings of both days' meetings in our next
issue.
City Marshal Alexander is about prepar
ing a list of persons who are in arrears to
the city for taxes, with a view to advertising
their property for sale. HaviBg thrown turi
at the dear people until he has satisfied him
self that it is no good, the Marshal is goiag
to see what virtue there is in stones.
Letter Postage ou Cards.
People who write postal cards are notified
that they must not date the card on its back.
By a ruling of the Postmaster General, any
card on which anything whatever is written
on the back, besides the address, will be
charged as letter postage. It very frequent
ly happens that the merchants here are com
pelled to pay this postage through the igno
rance of correspondents in the country.
New Grocery Store. .
Mr J Rothschild, a member of the late
firm of Koopmann & Rothschild, will short
ly open a wholesale and retail grocery and
commission stoie at the former Brand of that
firm. Mr R has devoted seventeen years of
his life to the grocery business, and with
this experience feels certain that he can giye
satisfaction. His stock will be fresh, and he
promises fair dealing and good bargains to
all who will favor him with their patronage.
His advertisement will appear in a few days.
Attempted Robbery.
On Friday or Saturday last, a little negro
boy, in the employ of some one in the Sugar
Creek neighborhood, was going home from
mill, with a sack of floor, the property of his
employer, when he was stopped in the road
by two men, who took the sack of flour off
the horse and were making off with it, when
some countrymen appeared in view. These
frightened the negroes, and, dropping the
sack of flour ia the road, they took to their
heels and disappeared through the woods.
Departure.
Under this head, the Danville News, of
Sunday, speaks thus of our townsman, Mr
W C Graham : "To-day, Mr Graham, of the
Southern Express Company, who has been
stationed at the office in this place . for the
past three months, leaves for his old home,
Charlotte, N. C. He goes to accept a position
as messenger on the Carolina Central Rail
road. Since his location here Mr G has won
many friends by his courteous manners,
and all who know him will regret his leav-
ng oar city. . In him the company has a
competent employee a perfect gentleman."

Rocking Train.
On Sunday night, while- the North Caro
ina train was on its way to this city, three
or four miles this side of Salisbury some
miscreant threw a rock at it The rock went
crashing through the glass door of the mail
car, filling the face of route agent Turren
tine with glass, but inflicting no injury up
on him. He was making - up his Georgia
mail matter at the time, and just a second
before the rock was thrown, ; had turned
from his counter to get a . string, which was
behind him. Had he been any later, the
rock would almost certainly have struck
him, and perhaps have inflicted some seri
ous injury.- The train was not stopped, and
no idea is had of the identity of the rascal.

Selling Chickens of Doubtful Ownership.
Yesterday morning about 4 o'clock, a ne
gro applied for admittance at the door of
the Central Hotel, and, getting in, offered to
sell them to Mr McAllister, the watchman.
three chickens which he had in his hand.
He said he would take 20 cents apiece for
them, and Mr McAllister took them, telling
him to call for his pay about 6 or 7 o'clock.
The darkey was loth to leave without the
money, and the purchaser began to ply him
with questions. Without any charge of theft
having been intimated, the negro declared
that nobody need think that he had
stolen those chickens, for he hadn't.. After
ever so long a time, he left, with the under
standing that he was to call again for his
pay, but, it is almost needless to say, he
hasn't called.
Mr McAllister learned, during the day,
that the chickens had been stolen from Capt
John Deaton, and to him they were Uirned
over.
Ruled OS the Course.
The following is of interest here, since Mr
Barton has quite a number of acquaintances
in Charlotte, having been here with his
stables during several racing seasons since
the war : '"At a meeting of the Savannah
Jockey Club, held on Thursday evening last,
Col Owens presided, and stated that he had
an unpleasant duty to perform in diyulging
a certain irregularity which had occurred in
arranging for Wednesday's races. While
drawing the entries out of the box, he said,
Mr Barton, of Barton fc Medinger's stables,
had endeavored to slip two entries in. Hay
ing been detected in the act, he had at first
denied it, but afterwards admitted it, but
said that he had had the entries all prepared
for the box at the proper time, but had for
gotten to put them in ; disclaiming any in
tention to commit fraud. In view of this
irregularity, the club ruled Messrs Barton &
Medinger's stables off , the track, which rul
ing prevents them from running their hors
es on any track in the country. It being
clearly understood, however, that Mr Med
inger had had no knowledge of or connec
tion in Mr Barton's action, a resolution was
offered and adopted relieving him from all
blame and allowing the jockeys belongin
to the stables to run." -
Valentines.
As the time for sending these embodi
ments of grace, beauty, or whatever else you
choose, is so near at hand, a few words con
cerning the origin of the custom of "send
ing valentines," will be of interest: At
one time, handsome presents were given,
but that custom has died out- There was a
tradition among many people that eyery
bird chose its mate on Valentine's day ; and
at one time it was the custom for young folks
to go out before daylight on that morning
and try to catch an owl and two sparrows in
a net. If they succeeded, it was a good
omen, and entitled them to gifts. Another
fashion among them was to write the valen
tine, tie it to an apple or orange, and steal
up to the house of the chosen one in the
evening, open the door quietly and throw it
in. On the eve of St Valentine's day, the
anxious damsel prepared for sleep byNpin-
ning to her pillow, five bay leaves, one at
each corner and one in the m iddle (which
must have been delightful to sleep on, by
the way). If she dreamed of her sweetheart
she was sure to marry him before the end of
the year.
The candidate, for matrimony son etimes
boil an egg hard, take out the yolk, .and fill
its place with salt. Just before goiog to bed,
she must eat egg, salt, shell and all, and
neither speak nor drink after it.
Railroad War Impending.
From the large number of Railroad oflic
ia's in the city yesterday, it was surmised
that another railroad war to result in cut-
tins down of freight charges, such as we
had here last fall, was impending. The
aforesaid officials were very reticent in re
gard to the object of their visit, stating in re
sponse to inquiries that it was for the pur
Dose of consultation among themselves with
a view to-the establishment of a table of
rates, mutually satisfactory to all the
companies represented. DasnviUe News, of
batutuay.
So far from this gathering of railroad
magnates meaning a war, it meant quite the
reyerse,
We haye reliable information that
on Saturday, a railroad pool was formed at
Danville by representatives of "numerous
railroads, all of those running into this city,
except the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio, be
ing represented, by which fieight will be
materially raised on all articles. The agree
ment has already been signed, and the new
standing so far as all the roads running into
Charlotte is concerned, is, that, no matter by
what route freight ia shipped, each road gets
a pro rata. This, advance in ireigbta will
cause a reduction pt f to i cent in the price
of cotton here, which will bear heavily upon
the farming community, . We -make this
statement that the farmers of the country
may not place the blame for a reduction in
cotton, at 4wrSbf the J
J iihg to buy cbttoij :i prices lower than those
but that the re-
f SDonsiblUly may be put where it properly

Concert of the Salisbury Band, '
The Salisbury Band gaye.its second con
cert one night last week, at Meroney's HaU,
and a correspondent, writing to us a private
letter refers to the concert in glowing terms,
saying that it wad magnificent and gave evi
dence of -an amount of musical genius in
Salisbury, Of which any town might well
be.proud. Miss Annie Powzee's rendition
of "Adelaide," is spoken of in the most en
thusiastic terms. Our correspondent writes:
'The 'Echo Song;' by Miss May Shober and
Prof W.H Neave, was fine, but the sweetest
thing was the Scotch medley, arranged by
the gentleman just named. The 'Moonlight
Sonata,' by Miss Fannie Mock, I could not
appreciate, but musicians say it was grand.
A glance at the programme will tell you
that the concert was grand." We are pleas
ed to know of the success of the entertain
ment. The Salisbury Band is the best iu
the State, and as a North Carolina institu
tion, we are proud of it. Salisbury ought to
be doubly so, and also proui of her extraor
dinary musical talent outside of it, which
this concert seems to have developed.
.
Suuday and Sunday Services.
Taken for all in all, last Sunday was one
of the most disagreeable days of the present
season. "It woke up raining," and for sev
eral hours afterwards, the watery element
froze as it fell. On the North side of the
streets, where the winds had a full swing,
the pavements were as slick as glass, and
persons who navigated over them, proceed
ed by means of sliding, not daring to trust
themselves to walk flat-footed, lest they
should slip and fall: This being the condi
tion of the pavements, it is not to be won
dered at that the church-goers were few and
far between. In some of the churches, no
sermons were preached at all, the congrega
tions were so small, and in even the most
popular, there was hardly more" than a cor
poral's guard. There were no visiting min
isters in the city.and where services were held,
they were conducted by the pastors.
In the afternoon, the weather moderated,
and the rain which then fell not only did
not freeze itself, but melted the ice which
had been formed on the pavements. Then
slush succeeded ice, and, unpleasant as this
was, it was unanimously voted an improve
ment. The rain ceased before sunset, and
though little or none fell after dark, the
evening was so very unpleasant that only a
few ventured out to the churches which
were open. Thus it was that Sunday in
Charlotte went pretty much by default.
The Concert Last Night.
Considering the horrible weather and the
condition of the streets,' the attendance at
the concert which was given last eyening at
the Charlotte Institute for Young Ladies,
was larger than could have been expected.
While the room was not crowded, not even
full, the audience was fair, as to size, and no
one present but was amply repaid for hav
ing plcdded through the mud to get there.
The chapel was tastefully decorated,' and
with the young ladies nearly all dressed in
white and arrayed in their own irresistible
way, the effect was, altogether, quite charm
ing, 'l he concert began about 8 o clock, and
continued two hours and a half. Even
then it must have been a very unapprecia-
tive listener who was glad that it was
over.
The real interest in the evening's enter
tainment began with the vocal solo, "Come,
let each Bright Bay of Pleasure," by Miss
Thorpe ; the young lady's voice is under
good cultivation, and she retired, after the
last verse, amidst an applause which was
hearty and continued. "The Soldier's
Chorus," by Misses Peck, L Yates, Alexan
der and Spencer, was very much enjoyed ;
the fact that it was familiar to nearly every
one present, enabled even the tyro in the
"divine art," to appreciate the fact that it
was well rendered. "The Story of Little
Red Riding Hood," by Miss Bessie Martin,
was a feature of the eveniDg, and attracted
more interest than it would otherwise have
done, by reason of the fact that the young
vocalist was attired partially in the tradi
tional guise of the Little Red Riding Hood.
No part of the concert, however, excited so
much pleasure as the "Swiss Echo Song,"
Bung by Miss Mamie Bobbins, of Statesville.
She has a voice of great sweetness and com
pass, and her manner is altogother bewitch
ing. She was warmly encored upon the con
clusion of the song, and the call continued
until Miss Rebbins responded. She had
been under the instruction -of Miss Peck for
veral sessions, and ber singing shows the
effect of careful training. Her enunciation
is remarkably good, and every note; from
the lowest to the highest, shows how perfect
the control under which she has her voice.
The vocal duet,"The Fisherman," by Misses
Bobbins and Thorpe, was also encored,, - as
was the "Danube ..Waltzes," sung by Miss
Gertrude Williamson. The duos, - "Grand
Coronation," by Misses Hyera and Thorpe,
and 'Triumphal March," by Misses PeckJ
and E Martin, were both artistic- produc
tions, and the entertainment closed with a
burst of melody from the pianos, as Miss
Peck and Mr Phifer rendered "Martha"
the most difficult, and, perhaps, the most
musical piece on the programme. ? . ,
The concert was adiiable -in every re?
spect. Miss Peck has had charge , of the
musical education, of some of the , young
ladies, for some time past, and these show
to great advantage. cEven those whom she
has been teaching but one session, display a
proficencyhlchmust W veygratlfying to

Irrigation and Farming in California.
Messks Editors :
Topmost Eastern people the system of irri-
gating as carried on in California,-is quite
surprising. Except so far as the gardener's
waterspout is concerned, most dwellers East
Of the Rocky Mountains, are but little con
versant with artificial raining. A repetition
of the irrigation that; was once, carried on
upon the banks of the Nile, will soon be en
acted on the Pacific Coast. In India, on
the Arrian plaines. in Southern France and
Italy, the pgriculturists have long since
been far more dependent an the water in
their ditches than on the caprices of Jupiter
Pluvius, The system ia this State will soon
be so perfected that the rancher can apply
the water to the plains as the crops de
mands, and hence snap his finger at the
weather clerk.
The effect of this water on the loamy
lands in the San Joaquin Valley, is almost
incredible to Eastern farmers. The fertility
of these lands is considered inexhaustible
hence no need for fertilizers. An : ordinary
yield of wheat is reckoned at 2 tons per
acre, and. soon after harvesting, u corn is
planted, 50 or 60 bushels may be gathered
to the acre. Six or eight tons of Irish po
tatoes are produced to the acre, and it is
claimed that 20 tons of sweet potatoes may
be gathered from the same amount of land.
The castor here is found to be very profita
ble, and grows so large that one may stand
in its branches, and will cover an area of
250 square feet of ground. Beets, turnips,
cabbage, &c., grow so large, that your cor
respondent, to Eastern readers, would doubt
less appear to be exaggerating in giving
their exact size.
'Most anywhere on the plaines cr in the
foot hills, all the semi-tropical fruits grow
splendidly, and when the country has been
irrigated a few years, the orchards.blending
both temperate and tropical fruits, present
an inviting appearance. And at this season
of the year, while you Eastern folks haye
ice and snow, and naked fields, we enjoy
most all the good vegetables, rest by our
placid artificial streams, and contemplate
green pastures, while eating oranges just
plucked from the tree, and . strawberries . as
fresh as they were last May, X.

little aorenna in. the upper part of-the nose,
some pain and burning a discharge ox yel
low matter, finally scabs, the shape of the
inside of the nosa, began to come outwhich
relieved me few, boors -tf -.polluted y my
breath, and made the room, unbearable. . It
finally destroyed the partition tone, retting
my nose sink: in. i In thia condition I went
to Dr Jones, who gave medicine which quite
destroyed; the offensive smell , in an hour,
and cured the disease in three months. As
