Hope there is some mistake about it Thermometer Record. The following will show the state of the thermometer, at the stations men tioned, at 4.31 yesterday evening, Wash ington mean time, as ascertained from the daily bulletin issued from the sig nal office in this city: Atlanta 41 Augusta 46 Charleston 48 Charlotte .- 37 Coisicana 43 Galveston .59 Havana 78 Indian ola 49 Jacksonville 5T Key West. . . i. .76 Mobile 53 Montgomery . ...49 New Orleans 52 Punta Rassa 73 Savannah 49 St. Marks 56 Railroad Wotea. Slight changes were made Sunday in the schedules of mail trains on the through lines. All the talk among the railroad men just now is about the new union depot. The route agents are interested in the talk which comes from Washington about reducing their numbers and sala ries. The basis upon which the num bers of these officer are now regulated is one to every 50 miles. The recent convention in Chicago of representatives of the leading lines of Western railroads, resolved to with draw the passes heretofore issued to large shippers, thereby putting all classes on the same footing. There has been a good deal of talk at various times of tills sort of action being taken by the railroads of this section. AVho will be the general ticket agent of the railroads when the union depot is built? AVe answer this conundrum with the opinion that the first letter of his name is Col. John Henry Baker. Eighteen route agents run into Char lotte. Of these two are colored one on the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroad and the other on the Carolina Central. Probably Fatal Cutting Affrays In Gatttou. Two serious cutting affrays occurred in Gaston county, last Saturday, both of 'which will, in all probability, prove fatal. In Dallas, George Bowman was stabbed by Jason Huck, once in the arm. and again in the side, the knife pene trating to sufficient depth to cut the liver. The two men got into a difficul ty, when Hucks went off to get a pis tol to shoot his antagonist. The partv from whom the pistol was obtained unloaded it without the knowledge of Hucks, who returned to Bowman and began snapping it at him. Bowman made his escape, but subsequently learning that Huck's pistol was not loaded, returned and began to beat him. During this scuffle, Huck inflicted the wounds above described. Bowman's condition is extremely critical. The other difficulty occurred at or near Cherry ville. No particulars have been obtained except that a man named Van Sellers had his throat cut so badly that his condition is regarded as hope less. fhe Dead Body. Found in the Wood. There have been some new develop ments in reference to the body of the negro found in the woods about four miles northwest of the city in a partly decomposed state, a few days ago. There are two stories: one that about the time when it is supposed that the man died, judging from the condition of the body, two negro men passed by a house a short distance from the spot where the body was found, and that a quarrel was going on between them in reference to a ten dollar bill ; that short ly after this a pistol shot was heard by several of the neighbors and a scream, both sounds apparently coming from the direction ot the spot where the body was found. Another storv is that about the time that the negro lunatic escaped from the county poor house, an unknown negro appeared at the residence of the Misses Todd, who live in the neighborhood of where the body was found. His con duct was very peculiar and frightened the ladies, who called to a young man living with them, to come and drive the negro off the premises. The young man drew a pistol or gun on the negro, and tailing to trignten mm on Dy tms means, fired at him several times. After the first two or three shots the negro ran. and the young man continued to shoot. He is under the impression that after the negro had gotten some distance from the house, he fell. When last seen he was going in the direction Of the place where the body was found. Both of these stories" "vlll be fully in vestigated at the adjourned coroner's investigation to take place at tne court house, in this city Thursday. i i i A CuriouM and Interesting Document Trip following interestinsr document has come into the hands of Mr. W. F. Davidson. The author of it, Gen. Geo. Graham, was an uncle of the late Gov. Graham and was a distmguisnea cnar itfrv thP Rpvnlnt.ionarv war. The coincidents to which it refers are truly remarkable. The following is a literal copy of the paper: j George liranam was Dorn me om aay of December 1757; Commiss'd an ensisrn in Meek. 6th Militia, 5th day of December. 1777; Commiss'd a Lieut, in Do. 5th day of December 1781 ; Commiss'd a Lieut, in State Troops of & C 5th day of -December 1781 ; Com miss'd a Capt. in Meek. 6th militia, 5th day of December 1784; Commiss'd 2 major in Do. 5th day of December 1788 ; Commiss'd a 1st major in Do, 5th day of December 1791; Commiss'd Lieut.

One of the best determinations la to try pU fair means of securing a competency at little cost, and the easiest, best and most attractive method is to send at once to M. A. Dauphin, P. O. Box 6K2, New Orleans, La., two dollars and secure a chance in the 104th grand monthly1 drawing of the Louisiana State Lottery, which takes plaee at New -.Orleans, La., on Tuesday, Januai 14th. 187tf. Here all la honestly conducted, and there is no such thing known as the postponement of the drawing or scaling of the liberal list of. prizes chared, "ti hi "V . 'j i, : , ... . - : A Trap.for Ou TJuwary-How It X Worlted. i IrrWil''-'t4'" 't i''v-mvij-.i 1 l JS ot Jong ago we commented upon and warned the people against being entrapped . bya circular purporting to be issued by H. P. Jones & Co, dealers m diamonds,; watches and jewelry, 868 Broadway, ew York," copies of which have bfeen mailed to large numbers of people In this section of .North Carolina. This crcnlar recites that the senders are thef agents of a lottery which the circular describes. "I enclose you a ticket, pvhich is good for any one of the drawings, with this understanding, that I will arrange itj so that you wirl draw a large prize, if you will agree to act as agent fpr the sale of tickets. I am sure that if ja large prize was drawn in your State and shown around, that thousands of tickets could be sold." . The Sew York Sun exposes this steal, fully and effectually. It shows that when tte person addressed responds to the letter he receives a ticket and short ly thereafter notification that his ticket has dr$wn a wiatch and chain worth $300, which will be shipped upon re ceipt of $3, which is necessary to pay the expenses. Here is the cat in the m6al-tub. If a nan is. suspicious and wants . the goods, sent C. O. D., and so writes, he received the following: "Deart Sir Your letter of instant received. I send no goods C. O. D. You are entitled to th prize upon the pay ment oft $3 as stated. If the amount is not received in fifteen days your watch and chain will be declared forfeited, and put with the unclaimed prizes." If, however, he verdantly sends the $3 asked for, he ehiher never hears from it againj or receives a watch worth its exact weight in brass. jMarrlag-e Statintlcs.

The new year's callers will be on the rounds to-day in lull force and the many hospitable residences in the city will be thrown open to visitors. It was the Romans who first made the day one of festivity, offering sacrifices to Janus, whose principal testival occurred on this day, amd taking care that all thev thought said and did should be pure and favorable, since everything was Ominous for the occurrences of the whole year.They appeared on the streets in festive garments, exchanged kindly salutations; and gave td each other presents, consisting mostly of cilt dates. figs, honey cakes, and copper coins. The aay continued to be observed m different wys as a holiday through the middle age$. x or many years in conti nental Europe the day was one on which friends exchanged gifts, but gradually congratulatory wishes have been substi tuted lor tine more substantial expres sions of esteem. The custom of mak ing the day jthe occasion of social visits by gentleman among their friends and acquaintances was hrst introduced in New York city, and dates loack almost to the settlement of the town by the Dutch. It has been imitated with more or less success in different parts of the United States, but until recently has not been very generally practiced in the South. The custom, though sometimes abused, preseuts many pleasant fea tures, and the young people of Char lotte will enjoy these to-day on a more extensive scale than on any previous occasion. The young men will go out in parties of three or tour, the most of them start ing about 2 o'clock, though some will begin at an earlier hour. The Observer has been able to gath er the following information concern ing those who will receive, which, how ever, must not be taken as including all the houses which will be open to friends and acquaintances. Under the existing circumstances it has been impossible to haake the list complete, but the follow ing will be interesting to many: Misses Dillard and Miss Stoney will receive with the Misses Myers, at the residence of; Col.
