The month is half gone, and still there have been but two or three real March days. Yesterday was far from being one of these. The. weather moderated very considerably on yesterday, and clouds covered the sky, threatening rain. Old Probs says it will be warmei and cloudy to-day. A large crowd attended the revival ser vices at Tryon Street M E Church last night. MrCarraway preached. Eight or nine peni tents were at the altar. The opinion of the Supreme Court in the city case, occupies a considerable amount of eur space this morning. It is, however, the most important matter of a local nature, now on hand. A tramp, walking along the track of the North Carolina Railroad, day before yester day, near Greensboro, was knocked off by a freight train, but was not killed nor ma terially injured. Mecklenburg Presbytery meets to-day at Sharon Church. The city ministers of that denomination, and several from other parts of the Presbytery, went out to Sharon last evening. Somehow it seems that very little inter est is being taken in the forthcoming muni cipal election. Very little is said on the streets or anywhere else, concerning it. Two weeks later than this, last year the first nominating convention was held. Gen Rufus Barringer is making prepara tions to build an elegant residence on the corner of Tryon and Ninth streets, and Col. Frank Cox, has let out the contract for an $18,000 house on a part of Col Bryce'a lot, which he purchased some time ago. Judge Schenck, at Chambers in this c ity on Monday night, granted an injunction prayed by RobtSimpeon and others, restrain ing the County Commissioners and the Trus tees of Clear Creek Township from levying a tax to build a fence around that township. In our notice of the Connecticut Mutual Tife Insurance Company, last week, we should have said Thirtieth Annual State ment, instead of the Twentieth. The amount of assets should have been $13,494,650 92. We learn that 8 D Wait. Esq., the 8tate Agent, will visit our city in a short time, in the interest of this sterling company. Auother Eclipse of the Luna. It is stated that another and a more inter esting eclpse of the moon than that which occurred a few nights since, will take place at the next new moon, on the 25th inst., when there will be an annular eclipse of the sun; that is the moon being smaller tnan the sun, the latter will appear as a bright ring. Personal. Mr Randolph Hill, eon of Gen. D. H. Hill, who has been attending medical lectures this past Fall and Winter in the Georgia Medical College, at Augusta, who has been making a brief visit to this city, left )ast night for Louisville, Ky., where he goes to attend a Spring and Summer term of lec tures in a Medical School there. Power ef the Press. ; ; D G Anderson advertised in the Observes a few days ago for a stolen horse. In two days after, the horse was taken up by Mr J W Phillips, in Rowan county. ' Last Satur day Mr Anderson came from Chester, S C, proved property and went on his way re joicing. The tniei maae nis escape, com ment unnecessary. Von cord tun. We desire to come in on this blind, and to say further that it has' been noticed that within the past year, three-fourths of the stolen horses advertised in the Observer, have been recovered and returned to their owners. Mare Stolen. A bay mare, about three years old, with short ears, black mane and tail, and right hind leg white, answering to the national name of Miss Nellie Grant, was stolen, on Friday night last, from the stables of Rev J. J. O'Connel, in Gaston county. The ani mal was donated to the Benedictian Mon astery, in that county. Father O'Connell asks us to request editors . to publish this notice gratuitously, and so say that any in formation concerning the whereabouts of the mare will be gratefully receiy&l at his post office at Woodlawn, Gaston county. A Precedent tor the tale Winter, Speaking of the unusual mildne33 of th e departed winter, Dr John MeLean, of Gis ton county, jne of the oldest and most in telligent citizens in this section of the State, informs us that he can remember as far back as the year '19 and '20, when the win ter was so mild that the cotton stalks in the fields were uninjured by the frost, and that sufficient vitality was 'left in the'stalks to produce bolls which matured and opened He states that though the bolls of the sec ond growth were not very large, still the lint of the cotton thus produced was not of the very lowest grade. Carelessness. Postmaster McDonald was yesterday in re ceipt of a postal card, on the back of which was the following inscription, verbatim: Dkab Sib : Please forward my mail to this place, SUtesyille, N. C. March 13, 1876. The writer does not give his name, or any posssible clew as to who he is. The post mark is almost illegible, and reminds us of nothing we haye ever heard of before, if we except the cipher dispatches sent by Bab cock to Joyce and McDonald, at St Louis, while they were engaged in the crooked whiskey business. If this writer will siga his name next time, we will venture to say his epistles will not be treated with that silent contempt hich they must now receive. Into Bed for Protection. The horrid dog which came near eating up the little child of Mr McAllister, not long ago, has come to the front again- The wife of the citizen who owns him, hired a female colored servant a few days ago, and when she made her first appearance, the dog in troduced himself. He seemed so" intent up on paying her some little attentions, that be followed her in a whoop on to the porch, and when she disappeared through the door and slammed it behind her, he ran around the house, rushed into the back door and confronted her in the passage. She jumped into the bed room, and when the lady of the house, being attracted by the noise, goes in to her room to Bee what was the matter, what does she find but this great big, dirty, ugly negro woman lying up in her bed, with her head covered up bo the dog couldn't catch her I This biings to mind the fact that a bed is the very first thing for which any woman hunts when she gets into any sort of trouble. SPECIAL NOTICES. A W 8trange, Esq., Lynchburg, Va., writes: "I use Dr Ball's Cough Syrup regu larly for a tickling cough at night It gives relief and puts me to sleep. Ik is much used here," . , CUT THIS our. It May Save YourUfe. There is no person living but what surfers more or less with Lung Diseases, Coughs, Colds or Consumption, yet some would die rather than pay 75 cents for a bottleof medi cine that would cure them.' .

Lander Bayers, colored, was up for assault and battery on Rosilla Grant, also colored; he beat and cuffed her around pretty cheerfully, and was fined $10 and costs. This was the only criminal case tried in the city yesterday, though the civil business in the Magistrates' courts was up to average. - IS NOW NOKTII, PURCHASING A games Spring's Approach. The evidences of Spring are on eyery hand, Not only does the atmosphere tell of it, but the fruit trees are in full bloom, the buds are swelling on the shade trees, the grass is springing up soft and green under our feet, and the flower gardens are putting on their beautiful attire. The time for picnics and duck pants, soiled with grass and the dirt and moisture of the river bank, is near at hand. , AND WE ARE IAILY RECEIVING MILLINERY, WHITE GrOOGD KID GLOVES I EMBROIDERIES, ' i. 5..,. .jt .

Mr J M Turrentine received, on yesterday morning, from the department at Washing ton, his papers reinstating him in his posi tion as route agent on the Richmond & Dan ville Railroad, from which he was recently removed to make a place for Mr Chas E Dibble. Dibble has been transferred to some other road. It was gross ingratitude to have ever ousted Turrentine. He has been a Radical eyer since the war, and if dirty work is any joassport to office, ought to have been President of the United States long ago. - ' Charlotte Sells Goods in Baltimore. Don't smile till you know what you are smiling at. - A firm in this city Messrs White & Sims has just sold a bill of molas ses to asbjonmission merchant in Baltimore. He was here last week and examined their stock and prices, was pleased with both and on getting home sat down and 1 made an or der. foV a certain quantity df their New Or leans molasses. : He stated that these were the only unadulterated - New Orleans molasses 1 he had seen since the ' war. He had been to every grocery house in Bal timore, and couldn't find pint. They had oleutv of what purported to , be New Or leans molasses, : but it had been doctored until it was-txnrecogrilxabled. IfcJIa due to the maintenance of truth regarding this matter, that it be stated that the. merchant only .wanted iQ gallons for his) own ' family use., It la a singular fact, if it is a fact and we reckon it is a fact that as pure molasses cannot be had in Baltimore as anywhere A Suspicious Character. Yesterday morning about half past two o'clock, as two of the compositors employed in this office were going home after the night's labors, they met, in Trade street, a man who, before they came face to face. turned off of the pavement into the middle of the street. The young men passed on, but turning around, saw the man walk in the street until he reached the corner of Try, on, down which street he turned, going in the direction of the Fair Grounds. They turned and followed him; he went down Trvon to Fourth, and passed through this to College; crossing College, he passed down by Burroughs &' Springs' warehouse, and disappeared in the Five Points, on the edge of which the young men gave up their in vestigations. The man carried a carpet-bag in his hand, and his general appearance answered close lv the description eiven of the horse-thief Williamson , even to the clothes and cap that he wore. The moon was shining bright ly at the time and he could be plainly seen as he passed by, in the middle of the street, His actions and manner were such as to render it very certain, that he was not an all right man." A horse belonging to a countryman was stolen from a wagon yard in this city sometime during Monday night and has not yet been heard of. Prof. Tripp te Return. We have a letter from Prof Tripp, inform ing ns that he will arrive in this city on Fri day evening on his way to Wilmington, and as he will have to lay over here all night, he has made arrangements to deliver his lecture on Lamartine, that evening, at the Assocl ate Reformed Presbyterian . Chapel. After leaving here, he completed a full course of six lectures at Davidson College, and last week delivered a matinee course at the Fe mala College in Statesyille. He began course of three lectures in that place on Monday evening,' to be completed to-morrow evening. We cannot too strongly urge our people to attend this lecture on Friday evening. It is said to be the finest composition of the se ries, and has always proved a favorite with audiences. The life and character of the great , poet, and scholar, together with sketch of the times in which he lived, as de lineated by this thorough and accomplished scholar, cannot fail to interest an intelligent people, and it is for their own sakes that we urge our citizens to 'attend thia lecture on Friday evening. They will be, not only in terested, but instructed, and on that evening they cannot apply an hour , and a . half s time to better purpose. ' The price of admis sion is very low ; 25 cents is all. that is charg ed, or 50 cents for a 'reserved, seat.
