appreciated to the uttermost.
The probable result of the investigations

Typographical Errors.
There is no need to apologize for typo
graphical errors ; but the reporter cannot re
frain from remerking that the manner in
which one of his Sunday morning items was
mangled in the composing room, and
"elicit" put for "illicit" in the heed line of
another, took away his appetite at the
breakfast table and knocked all the religion
out of him for one Sabbath.
-
Leaves the Air-Line.
Capt A L Whaling will sever his connec
tion with the Air-Line Railroad on the 1st
prox., having accepted a position elsewhere.
He has been connected with the road for a
long while, and there are few more popular
railroad officials, his good humor and dis
position to accommodate haying won for
him the esteem of all who are thrown with
him in his official capacity. He has seryed
frifl Air-T.ina with ereat fidelity, and has
been very valuable to it ; he was particular
ly so at the time it was in course of con
tniKtinn. when the work of two or three
men fell upon his shoulders.
Interesting to Banks.
We see that Chief Justice Waite in the
case of Hepburne vs. School Directors of
Carlisle, Pa., has decided that shares of na
tional bank stock may be yalued for taxa
tion by a State, in some cases, at an amount
exceeding their par value. The available
moneyed capital of a bank may be dimin
ished by losses or increased by accumulated
profit, and therefore some plan must be de
vised to ascertain what amount of money at
interest is actually represented by a share of
stock. The State of Pennsylvania has pro
vided that this may be done by official ap
praisement, taking care to prevent abuses by
declaring that such appraisement shall not
be higher than the current market value of
the stock at the place where the bank is lo
cated.
Perhaps Fatal Iujary.
On Friday morning last a white man about
25 years of age. by the name of John Cowan,
employed on the place of Mr J C Bell, about
s mil. from this citv. went into the barn
loft before daylight, for the purpose of throw
in? down some hay or fodder to the horses,
takintr a lauternwith him. About 8 o'clock
he was discovered lying outside the barn, on
the txrnnnd. with his skull fractured. He
. 1
was unconscious when found, and has re
mained in that condition ever hince. It was
at first thought probable that he had been
assaulted and knocked out of the loft, but
Mr Bell is ol opinion that he lost his footing
and fell. The man is lying in a critical con
dition.

Old Crazy Again.
That old crazy man is a curiosity. Las
Friday night he was put on the North Caro
lina train and started East ; last Sunday
morning he got on the Charlotte, Columbia
Sr. Aujmsta train, at Tinevilie, and came
right straight back here. H;-- he ever got
'way around to Pineviile, is one of the mys
teries which will never be explained. He
hungaround here Sunday and yesterday, and
the .case was laid b-fore the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners on yesterday. The Com
missioners made an order that he be sent to
the Poor House, and Mr Yandall, the keep
er of that institution, and policeman Jo Orr,
took him out, in the afternoon,
The Houses aud te Population of Char
lotte.
Our neighbor the Democrat ba? done
itselfcredit and the community a favor,
by employing a person who last .week
went through every street of the city and
counted the houses, including those close to
the corporate limits. The following is the
report by wards, and the count does not in
elude kitchens, stables, barns or out-houses
of any kind :
Ward No. 1 521 houses.
Ward No. 2 . 418 "
Ward No. 3 458 "
Ward No. 4 333 "
Whole number of houses in
the city. 1,730
The Democrat ad is: "It would ba fair to
estimate five persons for each house, and
1,730 multiplied by 5 would give Charlotte a
population of eight thousand six hundred and
fifty. When it is remembered that a large
number of persons board at hotels and res
taurants and room in busines3-houses, we
think the above estimate of the population
is correct."
A good many people think that the Demo
crat might haye placed the number of occu
pants of a house at 6, and not over-shot the
mark at all.
Prof Tripp's Opening lecture.
Prof Tripp's course of lectures in Charlotte
will be delivered in the A. Ft. Presbyterian
Chapel, corner College and 5th streets, be
ginning this evening at 7 J o'clock, and con
tinuing on Thursday and Friday evenings.
The opening lecture will be on Louis Napo
leon from his birth to the Imperial throne,
preceded by a brief account of the thrilling
Paria Revolutions- of February, and June
1448, as witnessed by the lecturer. A good
ly number of our principal citizens haye al
ready secured season tickets ; and the lec
tures premise to be in Charlotte, as they
haye proyed elsewhere, a gratifying success.
This lecture this evening, as we understand,
is limited to a sketch of Napoleon from his
birth to his accession to chief power, togeth
er with brief portraitures of the elder Napo
leon, Josephine, the King of Holland, and
the queenly Horteuse. Of rare yalue must
these lectures be to the numerous students
in our city ; and as we hinted in a late num
ber, it is to be hoped that a matinee will be
secured for the advantage of the entire
DIED.
On Saturday morning last, at his residence
near Raleigh, David Horton; Esq.. in the

rpHE WELL KNOWN MILLINERY AND FANCY BUSINESS, UNDER

The Ice Crop.
Very little, if any ice has been pllt P i
this city thus far, and in the North the crop
is short for the coming season ; un!es Pro
fessor Tice refrigerates the spring unduly at
the expense of the farmers, a rise in the price
of ice may be expected by midsummer. Al
ready the exports from Boston, the great
center of the ice trade, show a marked de
cline.
Galled Suddenly Home.
Yesterday morning Mr. R, F. Stokes,
salesman for J. A. Young & Son, received
a telegram from his home, Union C. II., S.
C, urging him to repair thither at once. He
telegraphed for information as to the cause
ftViP summon, but received nothing more
specific than the information that there was
nothing fatal so far. Mr Stokes left last night
on the Air Line train. His father is Mr R
M Stokes, the editor of the Union Time!, and
he surmised that his father has become in
volved in a difficulty with some of the Re
publicans of that section, and has been shot.
However, this is only surmise, and the
cause may be something else entirely.
February.
All the old traditions seem to agree that
after a warm and pleasant February, comes
a cold and disagreeable March. If there be
anything in these old couplets which we
have found, and which are similar to those
published recently, "look out forsqualls" in
March, which is usually squally enough, no
matter how cold February may be :
Frequent and heavy let blow the North

Or. if not iu February the North wind blow.

ing the day prior to Lent, it may occur on
any one between the 2d of February and

as a popular festival is mirthful; it is a sea

is a gala day in many of the Southern cities

have tried the plan of collecting the monies

feasible plan to get even. If you fail to re

Cheek iu Its Sublimity.
The other day while Mr. J. T. Bmtler, the
well known jeweler, was standing behind
the counter in his beautiful store, a stranger
wearing a white vest and all the other duds
of a fancy man, strolled leisurely in. Saun
tering up to the counter, he said ; '"One of
the principal stores of the city, I presume?"
"I don't know," was the response; "we
count it a right respectable store." "Your
name Bhtler ?" An affirmative answer was
given. "Well, Mr Butler," said the stranger,
"I left home very hurriedly forgetting my
watch; and as I don't like to be without one
in mypockat, 1 thought I'd just step in, and
see if I couldn't induce you to take out a
policy on your life in one of my companies
for say $15,000, and let me have a watch by
way of payment of your first instalment."
Now this was a "new kick;" but Mr But
ler declined; the agent then reminded him
of the uncertainty ef life and the
certainty of death; but it wouldn't
go down. He then spoke of the widow and
fatherless children, struggling to keep the
wolf from the door, and as he talked the
tears ran down his cheeks and dropped upon
his white vest ; but Butler told him he had
no family and never expected to have any.
A bright idea struck the agent. A monu
ment 1 After he was dead the money could
be used in building him a handsome monu
ment, whereon his virtues should be inscrib
ed ; but Butler took no stock in the monu
ment. And after trying him on the silyer
plated rosewood casket in which he could
be buried, telling him of the good name so
much money would cause to be left behind
him, of the advantages of his companies
over all others and of how there were mil
lions in it, and finding the man of watches
still unmoved with bowed head and dejected
countenance, he got out of the store, and was
noticed a moment afterward, leaning against
a lamp-post explaining the "non-forfeita
ble plan" to a citizen who had complained
to him of a cough.
-- '
Parade of the Firemen.
The three white fire companies of the city
turned out, yesterday afternoon, in pursu
ance of an order from the Chief of the Fire
Department. They were accompanied by
the Cornet Band, which, in the parade, pre
ceded the firemen, the Hornets following,
the Independents third, and the Pioneers
bringing up the rear: The procession pre
sented a very fine appearance; the turnout
was full, and the line of march, through the
principal streets, excited a great deal of at
tention and favorable comment. The Hor
nets threw from the post office tank, while
the Pioneers threw from the tank in front
of Hashagan's store. The Hook and Ladder
Company did not exercise. There was a yery
creditable display on the part of the Hornets
in the rapidity with which they unreeled
and got to work. The Pioneer engine oia
not steam as well as usual, and eyen after
they got to work, their hose bursted.
The people of Charlotte must have looked
with pride upon these firemen, yesterday af
ternoon. It is a highly efficient department
and the city government and the city gen
erally, fchould encourage it by every means
in their power. It should always be borne
in mind that this is an unpaid department,
and that all the work these firemen do is
done without reward or the hope of reward,
and that in the prosecution of this work
they spend a good deal of time and money
of their own, and braye exposure and dan
ger in unknown amounts, whenever the'll
fall in the line of duy.

The following cases were argued in the
Supreme Court on Friday last,' as we learn
from the Raleigh News :

Sunday Services.
RnniW was altogether lovely. It was a-
genuine Spring day, with soft breezes un
touched with enough of March to even re
mind one that we are on the verge of the
blustery month. The sunshine, what there
was, while warm enough for Spring, was
not unpleasantly warm, and people came
out into.it as do the lizzards.to bask and en
joy themselves. It was a real tropical day,
and the whole city turned out to church.
There has not been a day this season when
the congregations were so full. This was,
however, to have been expected ; for no one,
unless confined by sickness, could stay in
doors when there was so much glory outside.
As we have said, the congregations were
full ; the churches were nearly so, and to
satisfy one's self that the people of Charlotte
are a church-going people, one had but to
take a stand upon a corner and look at the
crowds as they went to and from the differ
ent sanctuaries,
There were services in all the churches
save one and there was one visiting minister
in the city. Rey A N Arnold, of Chicago,
preached in the morniDg at the Baptist.
The religious interest which has been pre
vailing in this congregation for two weeks
past, drew together a larger congregation
than usual, and he preached a fine, logical
aH in some narts. eloauent sermon, to a
well filled ohurch. Rev Theo Whitfield, the
pastor, preached at night, at which time the
rite of baptism by immersion was adminis

good is expected.
In the afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, the
Young Men's Christian Association bad a
meeting at the Lutheran Church. Mr S O
Smith presided, and the church was about
two-thirds filled with: an attentive congre
gation. The meeting was one of much in-
A
teres, as indeed are all the meetings ot mis
organization of christian young men, who
are now more actively employed, than ever
before' in the Master's work.
The .Courts.
Superior Court. The Superior Court con
vened yesterday morning, His Honor Judge
Schenck presiding, and Mr Solicitor Mont
gomery representing the State. A large
number of persons, including lawyers, suit
ors, witnesses and others, were present at
the opening of Court. The Grand Jury was
drawn and sworn, after which His Honor
delivered his charge. The Grand Jury was
as follows : W C Wolfe, W H Taylor, Chas
Mason, W S Smith, Martin Icehour, Wm
Steadman, Jas Puckett, S J McElroy, W D
Clanton, C W Miller, John M Wilson, J H
Hunter, John Kirk, J S M Davidson, W M
F Henderson, J M Houston, E A McKee, S
W Alexander. J S M Davidson was ap
pointed foreman. The Judge's charge was
about as usual, except that he dwelt with
particular foroe upon the crimes of petty lar
ceny and highway robery. He laid down the
common law to the jury with the clearness
and force which always characterize his
charges and impressed upon them with
great earnestness, their duties as grand
jurors. The charge consumed about an
hour, and after its delivery, the Court took
a recess for dinner" The petit jury was em-
panneled, but the names of these were pub
lished when they were originally drawn.
After dinner the State docket was taken up
and run over. Twenty or thirty cases were
disposed of by submission and not pros. On
ly two jury cases were tried. These were :
Andy Elwood, John Elwood and Jo Means,
charged with assault and battery, and firing
pistols on the public roads ; they were found
gailty, but sentence was not pronounced.
The other esse was against Tom Elwood,
Andy Elwood and Jo Means, for an affray ;
they were found guilty, but as in the other
case, sentence was not passed. After this,
Court adjourned until this morning.
Mayor's Court. The case .of Sidney Read
ing (that concerning the cow running at
large) Was before this court, Alderman Dowd
actiDg Mayor. -The defendant was fined
$50 the penalty provided by ordinance for
allowing a cow to go at large and appealed
to the Superior Court.
Before Justice McNinch'Rob Simpson,
white, for obtaining money under false pre
tences from Wm Wilson, of one of the lower
counties. Failed to sustain the charge and
the cost fell upon the prosecutor.
Jim Knight, colored, for obtaining money
under false pretences from Mary Wallace,
colored ; was made to refund the money and
pay the cost.
Before Justice Davidson lee Dixon, color
ed, for assault and battery upon Laura, his
wife. Sentence not yet passed.
A Would-be Robber Shot.
On Sunday night about half past nine
o'clock, Mr. S. C. Nathan went to his home
on Sixth Btreet, between Tryon and College,
for the purpose of getting an umbrella. All
the family, as he knew, were away from
home, but as he got inside the yard, he saw
a light in the house, and noticed it go sud
denly out. Unlocking and opening the
front door, he discoyered in the room a ne
gro who, as soon as he entered, rushed for
the back door, which he had unlocked for
the purpose of escaping in case of an emer
gency such as this. He ran througn mist
but found himself confronted by another
door, and before he could mske his way
out, Mr. Nathan fired upon him. As he
got out, he climbed upon a large wood pile,
and while there, Mr. Nathan again shot at
him. As he did so, the negro uttered an
exclamation, rolled off and fled. It was
fxnr, that. h( had erotten into the house
through a window, but had been run 1n
upon before ha could secure anything.
Early yesterday morning, Mr. P. C. Wil
son, who lives on the corner of College and
Sixth, near the scene of this occurreuce.was
aroused to go off on an early train, and was
told by the servant who woke him, and who
then knew nothing of the shooting on the
night previous, that a dead negro was lymg
out theie. Mr. Wilson dressed himself and
went out, but by this time, the wounded
man had either walked or been carried off.
It is not known who the negro is, nor what
are the extent of his injuries.
