CITY BULLETIN
Now we'll see what March is going to do
about it.
Not a particle of prospect for any more
fun at the Opera Housa this season .
The weather grew very much cooler, last
evening, and by midnight, the air was real
sharp.
The Concord Sim is anxious to have Rev
E H Harding deliver "The Gentleman and
His Culture" in that town.
. During the month of February, 159 deeds
and mortgages were recorded in the office of
the Regieter of Deeds of this county.
The smoke house of Mr R 8 McGehee, of
Long Creek Township, was entered one
night last week, and robbed of a quantity of
meat.
To-day is the beginning of Lent. The
season continues until the lGth of April.
There will be the usual seryice3 in the Epis
copal and Catholic churches.
Leaves are now being raked up off of
yards, and it is noticed that in many places
the grass has sprung up beautifully under
them.
Yesterday was a magnificent day. There
has not been a more beautiful er more de
lightful day during all of this remarkably
delightful season:
The man Newsom, who is indicted here
for fraud, was not tried yesterday. He will
haye his hearing this evening before the
Probate Judge.
Everybody who goes in the Court House
this week, remarks upon the improvement
wmcn nas been made m it. It does not
look like the same room.
Base ball has been revived for the Spring,
Summer and Fall. The darkies played the
first game of the season, yesterday afternoon
in the field beyond the C, C. & A. Depot.
On the 6th of April, W M Stewart, the
trustee, will sell the valuable King's Moun
tain gold mining property the property of
the Gaston Mining Company.
The Statesvilie train runs out this morn
ing under its new schedule and returns this
evening. There was no train out to
Statesvilie yesterday afternoon.
The Concord Sun says the Cabarrus pris
oners now in Charlotte jail, will be taken
oyer to Concord this week and given qua
tersin the new jail at that place.
Buzzards cover the tall spire of the First
Presbyterian Church, these sunshiny days
It is high and dry, and no doubt a good
place in which to sun.
March came in this morning very much as
a lamo. mere was none ol that unneces
sary bluster and flourish with which we all
are in the habit of accusing it of making its
advent.
The poorest cotton seen in this city, was
a lot of four bales which was upon the mar
ket yesterday. The highest bid that could
be got on it, was lj. Four cents is about
the lowest ever bid here on a lot before,
The City Marshal giyes an important no
tice to those who are in the habit of block
Jng the pavements with chicken coops, box
es and other obstructions; and also to those
who make a practice of filling the gutters in
front of their busiuess places, with rubbish.
For the past two yeais or more, court
week did not seem to make any material in
crease in the number of people in town, but
that state of things is so no longer. The in
crease in the number of folks this week, is
very perceptible over eeveral preceding
weeks.
We learn that Mr B Koopmann, long a
merchant in this city, has secured a large
hotel in the city of Philadelphia, Pa., and
will shortly remove thence, and open a
house, first class in its character, for the ac
commodation of his friends throughout the
South.
New Copartnership.
Mr. H. T. Butler, until lately a salesman
in the store of Wittkowsky & Rintels, has
purchased an interest in the hardware and
tinware establishment of Mr. Richard Moore,
and the two will conduct business together
in future They will increase their stock
and with an increase of this, we hope the
public will increase their patronage.
Democratic Executive Committee.
Members of the Democratic County Exec
utive Committee, for Mecklenburg county,
must bear in mind that the committee is
called to meet to day at 12 M., at the office
of the chairman, Col John E Brown. The
chairman states that business of importance
is to be transacted. Steps will probably be
taken, locking to an organization for the
coming campaign.
New Music.
We are indebted to the publisher, F W
Helmick, 278 West Sixth Street, Cincinnati,
for two-pieces of music which are just out
the "Mardi Gras March" and "All Tied
Back," a serio comic song, words by J
Arthur, song arranged by P Ritter. Every
pin-back who can sing at all, should get
this song and learn it. , Nothing will inter
est the boys, more, except it be the pin-back
itself.
Watching and Praying.
John Henderson, colored, 'says that the
other night, " two dd black rascals" came
to his house, and one came in, but the other
itayed out. After sitting . around awhile,
the one who had come in proposed to xoid
family worship tor the benefit f the family
and while he was down' praying, his partner
on the outside stole John's old turkey gob
bler. John is satisfied thai ft copartnership
exists between, the .two brethren one to
preach and pray while the other watches
and steals. " ' "
"It's An 111 Wind," dec.
There is one advantage, certainly, about
the warm winter, even supposing that the
fruit will be killed; and that is, that much
has been saved in the way of fuel. Why,
we can't remember the March that found us
with so many Patent Office and Agricultu
ral Reports on hand, as we haye now. They
will keep, though, till next winter.
Transfer of Conductor.
On and after to.day, Cpt K S Finch, who
has been the only conductor on the Western
Division of the Carolina Central Railroad,
will have a night train on the Eastern Divi
sion, running henceforth betweeu Charlotte
and Wilmington instead of between Char
lotte and Shelby. Capt J H McRee, an
Eastern Division conductor, takes his place
on the Western Division. It is understood
that the arrangement is but temporary.
:
Seizure of Mackerel.
Special Deputy Collector McAlpine is a
faithful " noser." Not long since, he seized
a quantity of white lead at the North Caro
lina Railroad Depot, and on yesterday, he
seized an unstamped keg of mackerel at the
depot of the A., T. & O. Railroad. He
seizes every keg, barrel and can that he finds,
no matter what it contains, feeling sore that
if he keeps this up, he is bound to find some
of the " crooked " occasionally.
Taken on a Capias.
About two months ao a negro nam ed
Henry Heard was arrested here and bound
over on a peace warrant for hi3 appearance
at court. He was bound in $100, but jumped
his bail and fled. He had not been seen or
heard of since by any of the authorities un
til yes'erday morning; when Constable
Whitley learned that he had j ust come in on
the Air Line train. The officer went down
to the depot and laid ground for him for
some time, and finally saw him emerge from
one of tha cars. He seized on to him, by
authority of a capia3 which he had in his
possession, and lodged him in jail.
To Our City Subscribers One Mjre Day
of Grace to Delinquents.
The extraordinary amount of labor inci
dent to the transcribing of our city list, to
gether with the fact that much of our office
duties for the past ten days have been re
tarded by the interference of machinists,
carpenteis and painters, have prevented our
stopping the papers of all who are in arrears
this morning. But we were never more in
earnest than when we say that oar terms
aro henceforth cash in advance.
This has been our rule witk mail subscrib
ers for the past six months, and the system
has been found to work well. We haye in
dulged some of our city subscribers, because
they could be seen at almost any time.
These bills we have attempted to collect
through a collector, and the experiment
during the past two years has cost us some
thing over eleven hundred dollars; that is
the salary of the collector, to say nothing of
the amounts we have lost by irresponsible
parties. We doubt if any newspaper in
North Carolina can beast of a better class of
subscribers' than those of the Observer,
and we are proud of them ; but henceforth
indebtedness for subscriptions must and
shall be paid in advance at our office some
one can be found in the office from four
o'clock in the morning until 12 at night,
who will receiye monies and receipt for sub
scriptions meanwhile we hope that every
patron will remember our terms, and renew
before the paper is discontinued.
-
Objected to Because too White.
A good many of our readers, if not here,
in other parts of the State, know Jordan
Chambers, colored. He was a slave of Maj
P B Chambers, of Iredell county, and one of
the best in all the land. He is almost a9
white as one of pure Anglo-Saxon blood, is
smart and intelligent, and many a white
man might envy him his address. Jordan
became a rampant Republican, however,
after the war. ran for tne Legislature once
or twice in Iredell, and was defeated, and
has of late acted as a servant at the Execu
tive office in Raleigh. One of onr citizens
who is just from Raleigh, tells us that a
week or two ago, Jordan took his daughter
(who is whiter even than her father) to the
colored normal school which is conducted
in that city by Rev John Smedes, a brother
of Rev Aldert Smedes, D. D., the principal
of the celebrated St Mary's College. He in
troduced himself, and explained the object
of his visit. Mr Smedes called him "Mr
Chambers" and blushed and told him that
he was mistakenin the place; that no ad
mixture of the races was allowed there, and
that he was no doubt looking for the school
of his prother, which was in another part of
the city. Jordan asked if that wasnota
school for colored girls, and being answered
in the affirmative, told Mr Smedes that he
and his daughter were colored people and that
he was not mistaken in the place. The girl
was accordingly put to school, and Jordan
left, mightily tickled and mightily flattered
Sad Ending of a Dog's Life.
The incident about to be related, occurred
last week oyer in Rowan county, in the
Stokes' Ferry neighborhood. Mr Thos
Ritch, a sewing machine man of this city,
was making a little pilgrimage through that
section, having for his object the selling of
sewing machines. He drove up in front of
a gate with a machine in his wagon, and as
he halted, a man came around the corner of
the house, toward the gate, with a spade on
his shoulder. Ritch saluted him, and hop
ed he was well. "It's a fine day," he said,
and I see you ve got your spade on your
shoulder; suppose you have been setting out
fruit trees ?" "No," the man said he had
not. "What then V "I've just been bury
ing my dog." "Ah ? dog dead ? die of dis
temper?" "No; didn't die of distemper;
but you see the woods are full of lightning
rod men, fruit tree men, insurance agents
and sewing machine agents; and if tfyere
was anything that my dog mortally hated.
it was an agent, and so he barked himself to
death at these cussed pesky fellows that
come pro wlin' around here."
?'Can you tell me the way," asked Ritch,
"to Mr Ben Fraley's house ?" "Right down
'the lane there ; tarn into the first left hand
road, about a quarter of a mile from here."
"Thank you, good morning." And nobody
r-wdBld'ever have supposed, from anything
t-L tJJJ-.s ...... . .. . .. ..
J,hat itibCh said on that occasion, that be
wai kntjagent of any , k'nd. After getting
on of hearing he talked more like a sailo r
than a sewing machine agent.
Got Most tooSmart.
Now all big clocks have been fooled
by this leap year business. We knocked
around among them a good deal yesterday,
and nearly every one of those which propose
to tell the month, hopped over, night be
fore last, from February 2Sth to March 1st.
Good joke on the big clocks.
Culistmeut of Troops.
The following are the forecasts of the Con
cord Sun, concerning the probable results of
Mecklenburg Superior Court: "The Hon
David Schenck, assisted by Maj W J Mont
gomery, Solicitor, are now busily engaged
enlisting troops to protect our unfinished
works in Raleigh, and on the W. N. C. R.
R. From what we can learn they have suc
ceeded remarkably well. The troops when
mustered in will be placed under the imme
diate command of Gen Alexander. The
General though young, has had much ex
perience in this line, and all who know him
feel that he will discharge his duty fully and
.faithfully."
Marriages Durlug February.
The month just past was not a good
one for marrying ; at least the records of
this county show not. There wre only 23
marriages during the month 11 white and
12 colored names as follows :

The Complimentary Hop Last Night.
The hop which was given last night by
the members of the German Singing Club,
at their hall, in honor of their Secretary, Mr
John .TJ Lamprecht and his bride, was a
very delightful occasion. The spacious hall
was about comfortably filled, nd mirth
ruled the hour. It was our pleasure to be
present for awhile, and be entertained in
handsome style by our German friends,
Among the other pleasant features of the
evening, was singing by the members of the
club, and we listened with great pleasure to
several of their beautiful songs, sung in per
fect time and with excellent voices, in the
original German.
There is no class of our citizens which has
greater enjoyment out of their heps and
other social gatherings. It is always a pleas
ure to us to attend one of them, not only
on account of the great cordiality and kind
ness with which we are received and treat
ed, but because it is pleasant to look upon
so much real enjoyment as they manifest.
We have a very warm side for the German
population of Charlotte, and always feel a
warm interest in their welfare and pleasures.

The Courts.
Superior Court Court met yesterday morn
ing at 9i o'clock, and proceeded to business,
the preliminaries of organization haviag
been gone through with on the day pre
vious. The day was consumed in the dis
position of trivial cases, and the following
is a record of all the cases tried :
A ndy Elwood, for assault and battery on a-
negro woman ; found guilty but the sentence
of the Court not yet passed. W M Wallace,
and A H Cochrane, for assault and battery ;
the former found guilty and sentenced te
pay $5 and cost, and the latter acquitted. M
L Wallis and J T Downs, for assault and bat
tery; the former submits ; the latter was
tried and found guilty, but judgment
was suspended upon payment of cost. J F
Davidson and A A Lunn, for an affray ;
Davidson submits and wks acquitted ; Lunn
tried, found guilty, and sentenced to pay the

In the case of the Elwooda and Jo Means,

the Elwoods yesterday ; Andy was sentenced
',o 6 months in the county jail, and John to
12 months in the same place, but appeals
were taken in both cases. Means' case was
not acted upon.
Qaite a number of cases (15 or 20; were
disposed of by smbmission, suspension of
judgment or not pros. So far during the
term, only white men have ben tried ; the
colored element will be takeu up in a, day
or two. Uourt adjourned at 3 o cioct to
meet again this morning
term a day is being held,
hours named.
at 9J. Only one
this between the
Mayor's Court Albert
Wallace, after a
before the acting
night in the lock-np, was
Mayor Dowd for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. Upon promise to do better, the
Prince was released upon payment of cost.
As is usual during the sessions of Superior
Court, there were no cases at all of a crimi
nal nature before any of the Magistrates.
Prof. Tripp's Lecture.
The expectations which had been raised
when the .'announcement was made that
Prof Tripp would lecture in this city, were
more than realized last evening. The A. R
Presbyterian Chapel was well filled, and we
have rarely ever known an audience pay
closer attention to a lecture. The subject for
last eyening was Louis Napoleon, and the
life and character of this bold, courageous
monarch, were delineated in striking lan
guage. It is well nign impossible to give a
synopsis of a lecture of this kind, for the
lecture itself was little more than a synopsis.
The parentage and early life of the subject
of the sketch were, of course, first taken up.
From this the most notable events of his
early life were treated of. Then his irksome
imprisonment; his ingenious and daring
escape from prison; his accession to power;
his famous and wonderful coup de etat, which
surprised yea, astounded Paris, France and
the world ; his after life, his marriage and
his death.
All these things and many otl crs, were
passed in review, as a mighty revolving
panorama, before the audience, all the
thrilling events in the checkered life of the
emperor, being depicted in language which
was beautiful, approaching gorgeousness.
There are few themes which present a better
field for the exercise of descriptive powers,
and Prof Tripp has wonderfully improved
the opportunity afforded him. Full, through
out, of-the deepest interest, and abounding
with instruction, the lecture was at times
rich with eloquer.ee and thrilling in its de
scription.
The jiext lecture of the Etries will be de
livered at the same place on Thursday even
ing at 8 o'clock, when the subject will be the
Second Empire. We frust that our citizens
will, for their own sakes, crowd the house ;
for it is rare that an occasion for so much
intellectual enjoyment as these lectures af
ford, is presented to them.

There is no person living but what suffers
more or less with Lung Diseases, Coughs,
