Rubbery of Smoke Houses.
Robbers are on the go in Mallard Creek
Township. Recently the smoke-house of a
Mr Hinson, in that neighborhood, was in
vaded at night, and robbed of about fifty
pounds of flour, six hams and eight mid
dlings. About tbe same time, a raid was
made upon the smoke house of Mr Sidney
Query, but he escapea better; the robbers
took only three pieces of meat f.om him.

There was no Mayor's Court, yesterday
morning, and the only criminal cases before

charge sustained, and defendant- fined $5

jail, Lut afterwards paid fine. John O
Reid, charted with failure to work the road;
fined $2 and cost. Isaac Can ad ay, colored
same charge, fined $2 and cost.
Leap Year aud Mardl Gras.
It may be interesting to many people to
know that Mardi Gras dees not occur on the
29th of February once in a man's life time.
Since the i ntroduction of the Gregorian cal
endar in 1582, Mardi Gras has occurred Feb.
29, 1656, Feb. 29, 1724, and after Feb. 29 of
this month, will not occur on that date again
until 2028, then 2180, then 2248, then 2316,
and then 2400, which is the limit of the pres
ent calculation. In the year J944 Mardi
Gras will fall on the 22d of February, and
only that one time on that date in that cen
tury.

St. eet Signs.
There are td6 few street s:gns in the city,
and, by this defkiericy.strangersare very fre
quently much itfconveniepdjd and nonplus
sed. In relation to this matter an exchange
pertinently remarks : "In most American
titles It is never so difficult to know where
a itreet is as. when yon are in it. Every
corner house should, by legislative enact
ment, bear the names of both adjacent
streets. '' 3eside thls.'every mercantile .firm
would find it to jtp advantage to have the
name of tbe street and number of tbe house,
in 6ne&d4t &Uhaddredfe, written on its
sien-ooaid. TbTs would Te both an accom
modation to the pubxic and the -: best adver
tisement. A merchant in-r legitimate -busi
ie8ahhI4)ied' no other advertiseirienta
tory, and the honesty of his transactions;
each of which should be sufficiently clear."
An Affectinjr Scene.
There was great lamentation in the camp,
on yesterday. The two orphans were separ
ated from 10 o'clock in the morning until 6
in the evening. Orphan Whitley put on his
cap in the morning and started to the coun
ty after a nieger, and the little orphan
didn't know where he wai. When he re
turned, after an absence of eight houH, his
"pardner" fell upon his neck and embraced
him and wept. The reunion took place in
front of a grocery store, and the scene drew
tsars from the eye3of the early rose potatoes
which hung on a string at the side of the
door. Our informant could not bear the
sight ; he had to go off and impibe some fire
water.
Prospecting
View.
Wit!) a Good Purpose In
Mr J H Jone?, an. Englishman, a resident
of London, has been in -this city for Borne
days past, looking trrnd Hehad heard I
of the valuable sulphurets of this section,
and has come here to find out something for
himself. His ultimate object is, to estab
lish here, if he receives proper encourage
ment, a large furnace on the Swanzee plan,
for the separation of metal from ores, and
metals from metals. The machinery is large
and expensive, and Mr Jones must satisfy
himself that there will be some' increase in
the production of ores in this section, before
he will consent to take any actiTe steps to
ward the establishment of this enterprise.
He says that if this furnace is put In opera
tion, he knows of capitalists who will be
drawn hither, and in addition to these hun
dreds of laboring men will be brought here
with their families.
Mr Jones is a quiet, unassuming gentle
man, and makes the impression upon one
01 being a candid and reliable person. He
has visited some of the mines in this section
was out yesterday with Mr S C Johnston
and we hope that he will be favorably im
pressed by hi3 visit here and that something
tangible will result from it.
New Buildiiig and Loau Association.
A3 will be seen by an advertisement in
another column, a scheme is on foot to or
ganize a new building and loan association.
This new association, it is said, is to be or
ganized with a view of affording facilities
for acquiring homesteads for those who have
been debarred from the benefits of the as
sociations heretofore organized, on account
of the amount of money received being dis
proportionate to the weekly payments. The
following are the advantages claimed ever
the old associations: 1st. The whole
amount of the par value of the stock, two
hundred dollars, to ba loaned. 2d. The
premium to be monthly per shaie, and
therefore all the profits shewn on the bocks
from time to time, will be realized profits.
3d. Tbe par value of the share being double
that of the present associations, loDger time
will be required to wind it up, and hence
those who borrow money of the association
will have greater tinraoA which to pay it. -
It is proposed to limit the shared of the
new association to one thousand.
Wilt-y Cari-jnglon alias Willis Giles.
The following is what the Danville News
pays of the Virginia Justice of the Teace,
Wiley Carnngion, who has figured here as
a Five Point merchant and who lately de
camped between suns because the authorities
were so unkind as to call to his mind an old
stealing scrape in which he became involved
in the Old Dominion : 'Carrinirton was
well known in Danyille, where he operated
as a merchant during the years immediately
succeeding the war. Failing in business he
removed to the country and took up politics
as a trade, and for some time was zealous
and efficient as a wire puller for the Repub
licans, and a cats-paw for the carpet-bag and
scallawag aspirants. He was finally reward
ed with the empty honor of an election as
Justice of the Peace for Dan River Town
ship, but being charged with an inability to
distinguish between other people's property
and his own, departed from the scenes of his
political and official glory, and has been
heard from no more until it seems he turns
up in Charlotte.'
The Postal War.
Now there is another war in the postal
department. It was reported in these col
umns a few days ago, that J M Turrentine
had been displaced at a route agent on the
route between Charlotte and Richmond, his
place to be filled by Chas E Dibble. Mr
Turrentine knew nothing of the matter un
til he arrived in Charlotte off of his last
trip, when he was informed that there was a
man here to take his place. He turned his
keys over to, his succe33or started who out
yesterday morning upon his first trip.
There are two sides, of course, to the dis
placement, and these are interesting. The
retiring official says that there is nothing in
the world against his official conduct; that
he has always discharged his duties faithful
ly and efficiently, and that the opposition
to him came from the post-office in this
city ; that when Mr McDonald was about to
be ousted from the postmastership here.
Dibble went on to Washington and helped
save him, and that in return for this service,
Mc. exerted himself to reward Dibble, and
did st at his (Turrentine's) expense- He
says that his dismissal from the service dis
plays great ingratitude on the part of the
party for which he has worked hard eyer
since the war, and on the part of McDonald
also, as he (Turrentine) had worked hard to
have Frazier put out and McDonald put in.
Air Turrentine states that sue nibble is a
carpet-bagger from Connecticut, and don't
knew anything about the postal service any
way. He . is getting up a petition to be
reinstated, and it has been signed by
Goy Brogden,. Judge Dick, ex-Judge
Tourgee and other prominent members
of the party.
Now Mr Dibble's friends Some forward
and say that some -time ago a number of
categorical questions came to the postmaster
here, regarding the personal character of Mr
Turrentine; that as in truth bound, the
postmaster here answered them in a manner
not favorable to X., ana hence the dismis
sal. They say further., that 'tis true that
1 this ian Ji from .Connecticut, .arid further
that he was in the Union army; but that he
has. been living in.Yirgina and North, Caro
lina for jo years. , They say also that he is a
man of intelligence, and a' very excellent
fellow.' ",:
This is nol.strictly speaking.either our fan
era! or oar trol, and the only interest we
have in it is to tb extent that it creates
still another breach: in the'ranks of the faith'
fdl around here.
Business and Improvements.
With clear weather and comparatively
clean streets came a perceptible improve
ment in the retail business of the city and
consequent cheerful appearance of shopkeep
ers along Trade street, where ladies most do
congregate for the purchase of the thousand
and one indecribables that go to make up
the fashionable feminine. On thoroughfares
where the grosser fabrics and more substan
tial articles are dealt in, there was some an
imation, and in every part of tfie city evi
dences of thift and progress were to be ob
served. Many new buildings are ia process
of construction, both for residences and bus
iness purposes, and the indications arc that
with the return of tbe building season will
come tbe. usual yearly addition to the sub'
Btantial improvements of the city.
.
As a Wilmingtontan Sees Us,.
Mr Macumber, one of the editors of the
Pythian Echo, at Wilmington, way in Char-
luue wees oeiore last, ana assisted in xne
installation of the officers of the Pythian
Lodge, here. He writes an account of this
in the last issue of the Echo', and, after dis
posing of that subject, proceeds : "We can
not close without mentioning the fact that
Charlotte, is, in our opinion, the place for
young men wishing to 'go West.' We
haye never visited a place where business
seemed to be more thriving. They support
two Gas Campanies two fine Hotels, the
Charlotte and the Central, besides numerous
private boarding houses, restaurants and
eating saloons, and we noticed a compress
cotton press.
"While we do not wish to bring out our
Pythian ticket at this early date, still we
claim the right to say what we think and
li is our opinion there is no man in the
State better fitted for the high office of
Grand Chancellor than the accomplished
and talented Bro. P. C, H C Jones."
Proceedings of the Board of Aldermeu.
The Board met at Market Hall, in special
session, on yesterday afternoon, at the call
of the Mayor. Present, His Honor Mayor
Johnston, Aldermeu Myers, Miller, Brown,
Heagler, Alexander, Oates, Gordon, Dowd,
Sims and Moore.
The proceedings of the last meeting were
read by the clerk, and, after slight amend
ment ia reference to the action concerning
the Mint at Charlotte, were approved.
The Marshal being called upon for infor
mation in regard to the collection of taxes,
presented, to the Board the list of delinquent
tax payers just completed.
The Mayor, Col Myers having been called
to the chair, presented the following resolu
tion :
Resolved, That a committee of three be ap
pointed to sell the stock of this city in the
i emale Academy property ana re-invest the
proceeds of the same, in conjunction with
the trustees of the Male and Female Acade
mies, in the erection of a suitable building
for a graded school on the property of the.
present Male Academy.
Th e Mayor Advocated the passage of the
resolution in remarks of some length, urging
the plan of a graded school, as the most
economical and efficient for the education of
all the children of the city, &c.
Aldermen Sims and Dowd expressed some
doubt as to the expediency of adopting the
resolution, at least for the present, the latter
suggesting the postponement of the matter
until next meeting.
After further discussion of the subject by
Alderman Moore,who recommended the ref
erence to a committee, and spoke at some
length, and on the part of others, finally,
on motion of Alderman Dowd, it was order
ed, that the consideration of the resolution
be postponed until the next meeting, and
in the meantime that the subject be referred
to committee, with instructions to confer
with the trustees of the school property as
as to the plan suggested, and as to the title
to the property for the purposes of a graded
school.
The committee appointed wers Aldermen
Oates, Dowd and Moore.
A report was presented by the Cemetery
Committee, recommending the purchase of
two hearses, the one for use at Elmwood
Cemetery, and the other for Pinewood (a
colored Cemetery) ; that they be kept at the
Cemeteries, under the care of the Keepers,
respectively, and that neither of them be
allowed to be taken out of the city limits
The committee also recommended the fol
lowing rules in rezard to the disposal of
lots in Elmwood Cemetery, to wit:
That the keeper shall open one whole lot
24 feet square, in each section- for sale, said
lot to be sold either in whole or tractions 01
one-fourth or one-half, at the price of Fifty
Dollars for the whole, or in proportion for
the fractions ; and that the whole of each
lot so opened for sale shall be disposed of
before any other lot in that seciion shall be
sold. And the same rule shall apply to the
disposal of lots in Pinewood Cemetery, ex
cept that the price of a whole lot .shall be
twenty dollars, that is for 24 feet square, and
for fractions in proportion. Provided, how
ever, that the above rules shall not be con
strued to prevent the sale of a whole lot at
any time at the above price.
On motion the report was adopted and
ratified bv the Board, and the committee
were authorized and directed to purchase
the hearses; exercising their discretion as to
price.
Alderman Dowd, from the Cemetery Com
mittee, commended the Keeper of tbe Col
ored Cemetery for the neat and orderly man
ner in which he had kept the said cemetery.
Alderman Brown also stated to the Board
that the committee had directed the Keeper
of Elmwood Cemetery to charge $5 to each
nartr whose lot had been specially worked
by his own direction during the present
term.'
The Marshal was directed to notify the
lessee of the Market House to have the same
thoroughly cleaned, and kept so
A bill of G L Creeson, for repairs on street
pumps, was. on motion, referred to tbe Fi
nance Committee.
Alderman Heagler referred to the condi
tion of First street in'Second Ward, where it
was partially obstructed by a fence which
was left some feet in the street, beyond the
line of adjoining fences, and the matter was
referred to the Street Committee. -
On motion of Alderman Gordon, ordered
that the President of the A T A O Railroad
be requested to po-operate with the city au
thorities In har ing made a suiobtb crossing
over said, road at its intersection with Second
street. : -hi. 1, .
; Alderman Dowd; referring to the late or
dinance of the Board in reference to keep
ing up stock in the city, stated that he had
been informed thai the people of the coun
try had not performed their promise or duty
in the matter, by conforming to the provis
ions of the fence law.
Alderman Gordon then moved that tbe
late ordinance, requiring the keeping np of
tbe stock in this city, be repealed.
Alderman Myers addressed the Board on
the motion, assuring the Aldermen that the
farmers were engaged now in having the
fences made in conformity to tbe law, Ac.,
and after some farther discussion on the
part of several Aldermen and the Mayer,
Alderman Gordon stated that in conse
quence of the fuller explanation of the sub
ject, he would withdraw his motion to re
peal the ordinance.
On motion the Board adjourned.

As you published in Sunday's paper what
yolrent ShewTltrng?Bp" kaale" in
Charlotte, and as I happen to be that female,
I now send a reply, which I think in justice
to myself, you ought to publish, and oblige
Yours respectfully,
Mas. Annie P. Motlb.
Charlotte, N, C, Feb'y 34th, 1876.
To the Charlotte Correspondent of the Ealeigh
News :
Sib : Under the head of "Descended from
a High Station ," you undertake to "write
me up" in a style that you think reflects
very creditably on your occupation as a
newspaper correspondent; in other words, a
retailer of news of your own or some other's
fabrication; and when your vivid imagina
tion fails to help you out, you take some in
nocent person as a topic for your letter.
You speak of my descending from a "high
station:" it is far easier to descend from a
high station than it is for one occupying a
low one to get up higher. However, promo
tion in your case has been exceedingly
rapid, for from an innocent child you have
arrived at an impertinent boyhood. In the
article you assert that you were rather sur
prised to karn that I once ranked as a lady
in high society, for my uncouth appearance
would lead you to suppose otherwise. If by
"uncouth" you refer to my faded shawl and
well worn hat and calico dress, I will here,
for your individual benefit, state, that they,
like myself, have seen better days; but I
really think it is none of your special busi
ness, whether I present an "uncouth" or
pleasant appearance upon the streets of
Charlotte; I certainly have as good a right
to walk the streets in the best I can afford,
as you have to stand on street corners or
hotel doors and make your uncharitable re
marks upon persons as they pass.
You make several mistakes in your letter.
With regard to my first marriage being un
happy you are entirely mistaken, I mar
ried in the first case to suit myself, as I also
have done in the second; in both cases I
haye succeeded, for I was very happy in the
first, and can assure you I am equally so
now. My husband, although poor, has been
thus far, enabled to keep me from becoming
a "washer-woman," as you so impertinently
call me. But perhaps you would find it a
more profitable employment than your pres
ent calling. Were I, by stern necessity, driv
en to this means of earning an honest living
would not see so much difference in our
callings, for we both would have to resort
to the free use of lye, one to remove impuri -ties,
the other to make the letters more
pleasing to the public.
I would advise you to shut your eyes
when you see the "uncouth washer-woman"
ceruing, and beware how you proceed, or
you may get "done up" in real "washer-wo
man" style, and need some one to "right
you up."
Mrs. Annie P. Motle.
