CITY BULLETIN
The Boa rd of Aldermen, jwi.ll meet
this
afternoon aC S odqck at Market Hall
Mr Tilman R. Gaines who was to have lec-
,thred here last night, has not yet; ar,-i veil.
Yesterday was a very beautiful day, but
there was an onpleasnDt foretaste of March
in it.
A good many Spring goods are arriving,
and the pavements in several places are fill
ed, with goods boxes.
The members of the Juvenile Hop Club
are requested to meet this eveniDg at T.80
o'clock, at the front room over Spencer &
Allen's store.
The Board of County Commissioners has
been called to meet ia special session on
Monday next, to transact business in refer
ence to certain tewnship fences.
The Sun states that the light caused by the
burning of Heineman's tobacco factory in
this city on Thursday night last, was seen in
Concord a distance of twenty -one miles.
There is a dog in, this city which frequent
ly takes the kittens which come around, off
into a corner of the yard, and sits up and
narse8 them between his forelegs same as a
mother nurses her baby. It loots right
funny.
There was a large congregatiou at the Bap
tist Church last evening. Three ministers
were present. Mr Mendenhall preached.
Several anxious persons were at the altar,
and a good deal of feeling was manifested in
the congregation.
Viccy Woodhull was to have lectured here
last night, but Viccy didn't come. Sack
cloth and ashs abounded, yesterday and
last night. The only consolation that could
be found was in toe dies of old newspapers
containing the Beecher trial.
The health of the city is excellent, and
that it may so continue it will not be out of
place for the authorities to commence a
thorough and systematic cleaning of streets,
alleys and yards before the advent of warm
weather, which will not be long delayed
The second number of the Blue Ridge
Blade has been receiyed, and is better even
than the first. Every column, almost every
paragraph, sparkles with. Avery's genius,
apdtf that paper doesn't "live long and pro
per," it will beon account of a woefullack of
appreciation on the part of U'e people of the
section where it-is published .
Tryon Street Church and Its Pastor.
A correspondent of the Raleigh Christian
Advocate, pays this compliment to Tryon
St M E Cbnrch, of this city, and its pastor
"The mere fact that Bro Carraway is pasto
of Tryon Street Church is evidence that it i3
a first class station, to say nothing of the
character of the church itself and its achieve
ments." OS for the Mardl Gras.
Mr Geo W Bryan, accompanied by his
brother, Mr Ben Bryan, of Newbern, left
last night on tho Air-Line train for New Or
leans, to attend the Mardi Gras festiyities on
the 29th. Mr W 0 Morgan, of this city, is
already there, and no more of our citizens
will probably go. Many attended last year
and the year before
Life of Stonewall Jackson.
We see it s'ated that the Lippincotts will
soon publish a life of Stonewall Jackson,
from t he pen of Miss S N Randolph, of Vh
ginia. Mrs Jacxson, it is stated, nas assisted
Miss R. in furnishing biographical material,
and the work will, doubtless, be the best yet
given to the public, relative to the life of
this Christian soldier and patriot.
Up On a Ball Writ.
J P Newsom, of the late firm of Newsom
& Co:, at Rockingham, Richmond county,
was brought to this city on Tuesday nigh,
on a bail writ sued out for alleged fraud.
He was committed to jail and will have a
hearing before the Probate Judge on Satur
day. This firm bad been doing a large and
seemingly paying business at j Rockingham,
when it suddenly collapsed under yery sus
picious circumstances. ....
Prayer Meeting To-Night.
- This is the day (the 4th -Thursday' id Feb
ruary) set apart by the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church, from time almost
immemorial, for prayer in the churches for
schools and colleges. The pastors of the
city, seem Whave overlooked the occasion,
and no appointments have been made for
services.- Therer will be a prayer meeting at
1J o'clock p. riv, at the Institute for Young
Ladies which all are invited to attend-,'

We were much pleased to see upon the

The Southern Carolina Ku-Klux Tax.
In our issue f Sunday we published a
South Carolina -.tax. receipt, one item on
which was tfce ku-klux tax," for the nature
of which we asked an explanation of. some
of our South CarVlina contmpcrarle8. The
Columbia ITtion-!Hra7(i comes forward with
the necessary light, in the following para
graph : "The tax js a special one, leyied on
York, Union, and one or two other counties,
to provide for the widows and orphans,
made so by the ka ilux klans. The law is
properly known as 'an - act to provide for
the widows and orphans of those killed for
their political opinions,' but' known as ths
ku klux tax in the counties which have t?
pay it." '
Mistaken Identity.
Two young gentlemen called on some
young ladies, on Tuesday night. They were
business men and went late. Knocking at
the door, the lady of the house responded
and inquired within: "Who's there?" "Visi
tors," was the response. "Might as well go
away ;. you can't elSme in here;" and the
lady moyed away. A servant was coming
down the steps and was about, going to the
door, when the lady stopped her and turned
her back. After some parleying, another
member of the family went to the door,
drew it yery slightly and very neryou3ly
xpen, and inquired who was there. The
young men gave their names, the door was
opened, they were inyited in, and after get
ting in, were apologized to for being mis
taken for tramps -
Death of Mr. R. M. Crawford.
' We are sorry to learn that Mr Robert M
Crawford, formerly of this .city, died on
Tuesday evening at Chester, 8 C. He w? S
formerly an employee in the marble yard of
Mr. F. A. McNinch, bat about two years
ago established a marble yard of his own
here, and about a year since, moved to
Chester, where he had been engaged in the
same business. He has been confined to his
bed for about a week, with abcess of the
lungs, but on Tuesday afternoon his wife
telegraphed to relatives in this city that he
was better; on the evening of the same day
he died, and was to haye been buried on
yesterday. Mr Crawford was much esteem
ed in this community. He was married
only about 18 months agj, and mingled
with the sorrow which is felt among his
friends here upon receiving the news of his
death, there is much sympathy for her who
is thus early widowed.

ties in this section of the State, We take

Dr Carter Berkley
We were pleased to see Dr Carter Berkley ,
Southern manager of the Penn Mutual Life.
and the Fanuiel Hall Fire Insurance
Companies, of Philadelphia, in our town on
Friday last. The Doctor is a Virginia gen
tleman, and represents two of the oldest and
best established insurance companies in the
United States. Spartanburg (S. C.) Spartan.
In this connection we record with regret
that Dr Berkley and Mr W A Turk, who
have been associated in the insurance busi
ness with their headquarters for the past four
or five months in this city, are about to
leaye us. Dr Berkley goes hence to RichT
niond and Mr Turk to Raleigh. They are
both Fri'nia gentlemen, with All the weight
that this term carries with . it, and have
made many friends since they haye been
residents of Charlotte. Dr Berkley is get
ting back home "to his father's house," a
Ben Hill says but Mr Turk is going among
strangers, and to our Raleigh friends we cor
dially commend him as one in eyery way
worthy their esteem. A recommendation
of him is1, however, unnecessary, for he is as
jolly as Momus himself and whereyer be
goes people will like him in spite of them
selves. These gentlemen leave here cn Sat
turday, and we are heartily sorry for it.
Some Little Grange Matters.
The reporter bad a chat on yesterday with
Col Jasper Stowe, one of the boas Grangers, in
regard to the order. At the meeting in
Greensboro last week, of the State Grange,
there was no election of officers ; their of
ficers hold over for two years. The only elec
tion was that of an Executive Committee
man, to take the place of A T Mial, of Wake,
whose term has just expired; Capt. S. B.
Alexander, of Mecklenburg, was elected.
Capt Alexander made several little talks be
fore the Grange, and made an excellent im
pression upon those present. He is clear
headed and discreet, and stands mighty well
with his brethren of the order.
The Grange, says Col Stowe, is in a better
condition now than it eyer was. People
don't believe it, and Grangers themselves
don't know it. Tell you why it is better off:
All these merchants and ring men who
went into it when it was first introduced
here, have dropped off, and now hardly any
body except the bona fide farmers belong to
it. Suie as you are born we will make many
a one of these fellows say "damn the Grange"
before we are done. A certain ring man says
he's going to crush the thing out; that there
ain't any place in the State for the Grange.
Now the Grange is watchiDg that man closer
than any other in the State. It has got him
spotted, and you'll see who's whipped out.
This order is going to be a power in the
land yet. Headed by such men in this
county as Dr Strong and Dr Herron and
Rnfus Grier, dowoin Steel Creek, it's bound
to have its influence, fe I don't say anything
about politics ; we've taken no part in poli
tics, as an order; but I mean in everything
else. The Grangers hold their meetings, and
after they get through with their Grange
busincs, they naturally get to talking about
other thing?; views are interchanged and
opinions are formed, this silent influence
goes out and permeates neighborhoods and
counties, and a unity is brought about which
could not be ootained in any other way.
We ventured to inquire about the Grange
organ? Well, said Col Stowe, no definite ar
rangements looking to its establishment
have yet been made, but the organ may be
regarded as a certainty; it will be established.
Col Stowe had always told Grangers not to
trade with ring men, and intimated that
they had once been delivered into the hands
of the ring by means of this organ business.
Col Stowe said a great deal more about the
Grange and the Grangers, the ring and the
ringmasters, and the organ, (but nothing
about who would probably be the organist).
but the reporter can't remember it all,
A Pitiful Case Crazy as a Loon.
A week or two ago we mentioned the case
of a crazy man down the North Carolina
Railroad, whose whole mind seemed to be
bent upon getting to Indiana, and who had
seyeral times escaped from his friends and
started on his way thither. On the occasion
of which we spoke, he had been put off the
train by the conductor. Yesterday morn
ing a little after two o'clock, just as we were
about putting the paper to press, the same
man (we have no doubt is the same), stum
bled into our office. It was the only place
in the city where a light and a fire were ac
cessible, and in he bolted, unannounced and
unceremoniously. He was old, his boots
were covered with mud, and his clothes
were ragged and hung in tatters about him.
He said his name was Granville Cabiniss,
and that he was going to - "Indiany,"
"Where are you from?" was asked him.
From 1" he yelled. "Oh 1 I see into things;
I see into things; I see into things," and he
repeated this time and again." "If I could
just get to see my wife and children again I
I see into things; I see into things." "Where
is your wife ?" Where is Bhe ?" he stormed,
"Oh! yes; if I was just back in our little
church the Baptist Church they call it. I
see into things; I see into things.'-Bill Bar
ker is the man-1 see into things. "Where
does Bill Barker liver' "Livel" he ex
claimed, more loudly than before," "why, at
Bill Boston's." VAnd where does Bill Rusk

I see Into things;! know what I am doing
going to Indiany." - .: "!; ;
' ;By close questioning,' it was finally learn
ed frcm tht old man hat he came from
R andolph county. Rut his name and his
iaidenoe was all that he could tell. He did
not know, how he got here; nor did he know
anything else,. He said "they had waked
him pp an houragw," and that he had -had
nothing to eat in three days and was . not
hungry. : When our night' force got ready to
leave the Office, we took the old man along

Off the Track.
The coach, shanty ear and one freight car
of the tip freight and accommodation train,
on the Charlotte, Columbia A Augusta Rail
road, ran off the track, yesterday, just this,
aide of Ridgeway, 8. C, and had to be left
on the side of the track, all the, three being
more or leas damaged. No one was hart
and the train reached this city on time.

The Cold.
The weather grew very, very cold yester
day afternoon, and by nightfall was freezing
fast: It was a . yery still evening, too, but
what air there was bit sharper than a ser
pent's t6oth, which Shakespeare giyes ns to
understand is the sharpest thing out, ; ex
cept a thankless child. This brings as to
remark that all thankless children are not
sharp, which, however- great a digression it
may be from the subject, which we started
upon, is nevertheless a melancholy truth.
Death ef Hon A TT Venable.
A letter received in this city, yesterday
morning, from Oxford, Granville coanty,
announces that Hon Abram W Venable
died at his residence in that town on Satur
day evening la3t at 5.50 o'clock. Mr Vena
ble has, for seyeral years, been very feeble,
and latterly his decline has been so rapid
that it has been apparent not only to all of
his friends but even to himself, that his dis
solution, was near at hand. And so, on
Saturday eyehing last, when the final sum
mons came, it found "this aged christian
ready and willing to go ; and after the toils
and conflicts of life,he came to his end in a
full age, rejoicing in the hope of a glorious
immortality beyond the grave. For some
time past, Mr Venable has been too feeble to
read or to talk for any length of time consec
utively, but during all these wearisome
days he was cheered- by the consolations of
religion ; and much of his time was deyoted
to composing hyms, which he called "songs
in the night," and which were written at
his dictation. We have been permitted to
see a letter receiyed yesterday morning by
Mrs S Taylor Martin, of this city, a daughter
of the deceased, which contained the fol
lowing incident of Mr Venable's dying mo
ments. A few moments before he expired,
he called the writer of this letter to his bed
side and said : "I am a dying man, I now
realize those lines I wrote, songs in the
night," and then he repeated the following,
an original continuance of "Just as I Am" :
"Just as I am, when death draws near,
In his dark vale 111 feel no fear;
With rod and staff my sonl to cheer,
Thou Lamb of God, wilt come."
With faculties unclouded by the mists of
death, he left a message for each member of
his family, and bidding those around him
farewell, sank in the sleep of death.
Mr Venable was a lawyer by profession,
and in his earlier life figured conspicuously
in the politics or the State. He was a Pres
idential Elector in 1S32, and again in 1836,
voting in the first instance for Andrew Jack
son, and in the second for Martin Van
Buren. He was elected to Congress from
the district of which Granville county was a
part in 1847, again in 1849, and again in
1851. He served in State Conventions and
in other public capacities after this time.
Mr Venable, at the time of his death, was
in the 7Gth year of his age. He was buried
on Monday morning at the family burying
ground in Granville county.
