M . dec2l tf - Seyeral tfanfps appeared in the city yes terday and last evening. i , Last night .was about as cool as it could be, consistently with comfort. The, sfree lok ever, so nice and clean. The late rains did it. . - We are requested to remind the members of the Baptist congregation, of the appoint ment for cleaning op thechnrch to-day. To-day Is the anniyeraary of the birth of Andrew J&cksoc, bnt there will be none to celebrate his nataljiay, noj not one. ; The darkies will have, a masquerade ball to night over a store on College street. The' reporter is inyited, and will attend. The stockholders in the new Building and Loan Association, will meet this evening at ,7T6?cI6cfc at the insurance office of Capt R E Cochrane. ' A country nig, appeared on the streets, yesterday, with a long black cravat around his neck, and not the sign of a shirt; only a vest buttoned up clcse around his neck. ;Now that Valentine's Day is gone, the next foolishness in that line is All Fools' Day. All fools will welcome it, nobody else will more than think ot it. It must be a good time for having hair cut. One barber Alderman Gordon reparts that the other day he cut 23 heads of hair in succession, nearly all of them old heads, too. The Jacksou House (formerly the Simon ton House) at Statesville, has passed back into the hands of Messrs Wittkowsky & Rintels, of this city, the last purchaser, Mr Jackson, having failed to pay the purchase money. Train Delayed. The Richmond & Danville train, due here at 9.30 p. in., was three hours behind last night, not arriving here until about 12.30 The delay was caused by a run-off near Reidsville ; no damage done, however. The train, of course, missed its connections, and a large number of passengers lay over here in consequence. Returning frem the Party. They had a big party and a mighty nice time out at 'Squire Dick Hilton's, on Wed nesday night, but the after-clap was pretty binding on some of the crowd. A crowd of young men went opt from the city, and on their return the carriage broke down, a wheel running into a ditch. They could'nt fix it up, so they had to walk home, and it a-raining all the time, and the roads ankle deep in mud at the shallowest places. It was enough to put a man of delicate sensi bilities on a ten days' ppree. Protracted Meeting. The interest in the services at Tryon Street M E Church, is growing with each meeting. The spacious church was filled last night, and deep interest was manifested in the ex ercises. Presiding Elder Bobbitt preached a strong semon, which had a marked effect upon the congregation. The number of penitents has been steadily on the increase ever since the mteling began, and last night there were 10 or 12 at the altar. Rev W W Duncan, of WofFord College, Spartanburg, S. C, is expected to preach to-night. The Mint. The executive, legislative and judicial ap propriation bill was up in the lower house of Congress a few days ago, but nothing has yet been heard here regarding it. There was a faint hope that, in the appropriation providing for a certain number of mints, an amendment might be tacked on providing for the re-equipment of the Branch Mint here, but this was a forlorn hope for the future of the Mint, and it is probable that even if the amendment was offered, ifwas killed. We fear that it 'is all oyer with the Charlotte Branch of the United States Mint." Spring Toilet.

' '"- From a -recent private letter, ihe Wilming ton Star learns that M J McS ween, Esq.,' late editor of the Eagle, at Fayetteyille and Char lotte, has been quite sick in .Tennessee with liver affection and rheumatism. Be west on a visit in Januarr it -relatives at New port, Tenn , and has been confined there by illness ever since. ' The winter is reported as unusually sickly in that section The Lee Mausoleum. We were honored by a visit, yesterday morning, from Judge J K Edmundson, of Virginia. He is one of the Executive Com mittee on the Lee .Mausoleum, and states that almost enough money has ' been sub scribed to secure the completion of this great work. Gen Lilly who was in this city some time ago, canvassing fox hjs object, realized between $6,000 and $7,000 by his Southern trip. The mausoleum is designed for' the reception of Valentine's recumbent statue of Lee. This statue, which has been complet ed at a cost of $15,000, was carved from the purest white marble, and is said to be in every sense a work of the highest genius. This beautiful work is to be placed above the grave at Lexington, and enclosed in a suitable structure, the cost of which is esti mated at $10,000. Wind and Weather. Yesterday morning was horrible. The wind blew at the top of its speed, and the rain, which fell heavily, was blown in beat ing blasts into the faces of people in the streets and in through the chinks of house. It was a tine whea there was no pleasure out doors, and even an umbrella couldn't save one from being drenched to the skin by the rain which circled and eddied. and sport ed with every freak of the frolicksome wind. About noon, bowevei, the clouds lifted themselves and vanished out of sight ; the sun came out brilliantly and shining through the rain drops which still hung on every thing, caused them to sparkle like diamonds. The wind, however, ceased not, but blew and blew, and only rested with the closing of the day. Been the Rounds. Col C J Cowles bought a whole lot of old State money yesterday, and on one of the bills of the Bank of Cape Fear, found this date : "Whanipoa China, May 27th, 1856." There is little doubt that this bill has been to China. It may have been carried there by some missionary or some seaman or trader, but it has almost cerlainly in its day invaded the dominion of the Celestials, in some capacity or other, for, in addition to the date, there are several Chinese charac ters upon it. Far off iu the East, it may have warmed the heart of some poor mis sionary, and caused his eye to glisten, as it brought to his memoiy the vision of home and friends ; but now old, ragged and out of date, it "represents nothing on God's green earth, and nought in the waters be low it." Journalistic. We have never mentioned the fact, and it will be of interest to his many friends in this city where is quite well acquainted to know, that Mr J Lenoir Chambers is now upon the staff of the Statesville Landmark. He has been connected with the paper for some weeks past, and it has begun to show the effectsNQjfhis pen upon it. ; Mr Cham bers graduated at Davidson College, with distinction. Endowed with a high order of natural eifts. and added to these a careful education, he begins life with excellent pros pects, and has . every reason to hope that he will one day attain to distinction in jour nalism. There is something in the stock from which he springs, and he will not prove unworthy of his lineage. Our right hand is extended to him, and our best wishes are with him. Mr. Chambers was in the city, yesterday, on business for the Landmark. Capt. J. C. Luck retires from our contem- porary, the uan vine (va.j jscws, oi wnicn paper he was one of the founders, and is succeeded by Messrs. Manning Bros., who assume entire control, and to whom we wish continued prosperity. The Lecture To-NigM. We wish to impress upon the public mind the fact that Prof Tripp lectures to-night at the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Chap el, haying for his subject, Lamartine, the poet, orator and statesman. The lecture is said to be one of the strongest of the course. Certainly the subject furnishes a fine field, and we cannot doubt that the lecture will be in eyery way worthy of We sincerely trust that the room will be crowded, as it will be an occasion from which a vast amount of pleasure and profit can be deriv ed. In order to give our readers an idea of the lecture, we re-produce here what was said of it by the National Republican, when it was delivered in Washington City : "Lamartine and all of the famous career of the eventful life of this great poet-statesman, was beautifully and richly described to a select and intelligent audience . last night, at the Methodist Protestant Church, by Prof Tripp. This, was the closing lecture ef the course, and each one of his delighted audience regretted that it was the last. ' The Professor has giyen a series of lectures marked with an elegance of diction and beauty of delineation which has placed him in the hearts of his hearers as a learned and polished scholar and an eloquent orator.'' The Courts. There was nothing of a reportable nature before any of the courts on yesterday, ex cepting the cases of the vagrants against whom warrants were issued on Wednesday, si stated' in our last issue. 4 They were.before - Justice Davidson ; all of them were colored. The court suspended judgment- upon, their giving bonds for their good behavior, and upon4 promises to1 go to work. - This was yery well. If they fail tov comply . withtheir prornises; they' can. be snatched up at any time and punished. ' We-are glad to learn trom Justice Davidson that he proposes to have other like' cbarac1 ters before him-v There" iaind such preven tive of crime as 'rigorous' vagrant ( law, rigorously enforced,' 'Men who will work can always find enough to do . to .Bupppi themselves, and there is then no occasion; for them i to, become criminals. ; X tbfc law is enforced here there will shortly be a mark pi decrease jntneumber of cases on the criminal , 'dockets of our courts. "An : tdfa brainit'hai Wen well 4a;M wck shop," and the way, to suppress crime is to strike at therootof the matter remove' Interesting to Housekeepers. Vf ' ; , All kinds of glass vessels and other uten sils may be ; purified " from long retained smells of every kind in the easiest and most perfect manner by rinsing them out wall with charcoal powder, after the grosser im purities haVe been scoured off with sand and polish. Rubbing; the teeth with fine charcoal powder, and then 'washing out the mouth, will render the teeth beautifully white, and the breath perfectly sweet,' where an offensive breath has been owing to a scorbutic disposition of the gums. 1 Putrid water is immediately deprived of its bad smell by charcoal. When meat, fish, etc., from intense heat or long keeping, are like ly to pass into a state of corruption, a simple and easy mode of keeping them sound and healthful is to put a few pieces of charcoal,: about the siz9 of an egg, into the pot or saucepan wherein the fish or flesh is to be boiled. Unregistered Mortgages. We have, on more than one occasion, called to the attention of our readers, the fact that deeds and mortgages are worthless until they are recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds. A case of considerable loss arising from neglect of this important matter has just been developed in this coun ty. A citizen, some time ago, gave a mort gage to a neighbor upon certain property for a considerable amount. The neighbor laid the instrument carefully away at home, where no harm could befall it, and a few days ago executions were obtained against the mortgagor for all that he is worth if not more. Upon learning of this the mortgagee remembered that the mortgage had never been registered, that all of these judgments came in before it, and that he was out the whole amount of money which he had ad vanced on the mortgage. It is strange that rational men will be so yery negligent in matters cf so great im portance. A Utile precaution would haye saved the mortgagee the full amount of his claim; as it is, all those who obtained exe cutions will get their money, while he. whose claim should take precedence of all these, is left with the bag to hold, and noth ing in it. Legendary History of St. Patrick. This, March 17th, is a day sacred in the eyes of eyery Irishman, because the anni versary of St. Patrick, the patron saint of that people. Almost as many countries arrogate the honor of having been the natal soil of St. Patrick, as made a similar claim with re spect to Homer. Scotland, England, France, and Wales, each furnish their respective pre tentions; but, whatever doubts may obscure his birthplace, all agree in stating that, as his name implies, he was of a patrician family. He was born about the year 372, and when only 16 years of age, was carried off by pirates, who sold him into slavery in Ireland, where his master employed him as a swineherd on the well-known mountain of Sleamish, in the county of Antrim. Here he passed seven years, during which time he acquired a knowledge of the Irish language, and made himself acquainted with the man ners, habits and customs of the people. Es caping from captivity, and, after many ad ventures, reaching the continent, he was successively ordained deacon, priest and bishop; end then once more, with the au thority of Pope Celestine. he returned to Ireland to preach the Gospel to its then heathen inhabitants. A popular legend relates that the saint and his followers found themselves, one cold morning, on a mountain, without a fire to cook theifebreakfast, or warm their frozen limbs. Unheeding their complaints, Pat rick direct, them to collect a pile of ice and snow balls ; which having been done, he breathed upon it, and it instantaneously be came a pleasant fire. The greatest of St. Patrick's miracles was that of driving the venomous reptiles out of Ireland, and ren dering the Irish soil, for ever after, so ob noxious to the serpent race, that they in stantaneously die on touching it. As the birthplace of St. Patrick has been disputed, so has that of his burial. But the general evidence indicates that he was bu ried at Down-patrick, and the remains of St. ColumbandSt. Bridget were laid beside him; The shamrock, or small white cloyer, (trifolium ripens of botanists,) is almost uni versally worn in the hat over all Ireland, on St. Patrick's day; the popular notion is, that when St. Patrick was preaching the doctrine of the Trinity to the pagan Irish, he used this plant, bearing three leaves upon one stem, as a symbol or illustration of the great mystery. To suppose, as some absurd ly hold, that he used it as an argument, would be derogatory to the saint's high re putation for orthodoxy and good sense; but it is certainly a curious coincidence, if noth ing more, that the trefoil in Arabic is called ihamrakh, and was held sacred iu Iran as embematical of the Persian Triads .
