Marriage Last Nig lit.
At the residence of ; the bride's broth
er, Mr. C. T. Walker, last' evening at 8
o'clock, Rev. Dr. Theo. Whitfield united
Mr. E. N. Hart of Chester, S. C, and
Miss E. O. Walker, of this city, in the
holy bonds of matrimony. There were
no cards, and only a few friends of the
family were present, and these united
in offering congratulations to the young
couple, and hoping that they may find
all that they desire or hope for of hap
piness and prosperity in the new life
upon which they have entered.
Polygamous.
The postmaster has received a copy of
the address of the women of Utah to
Mrs President Hayes praying her in
fluence and that of all good women in
the United States in inducing Congress
to pass laws adequate to the suppres
sion of polygamy in Utah. "The post
master will sign the petition, but would
more readily affix his signature to one
compelling all the girls to get married ;
then there would be some change for
him. Some ladies of Lincoln county
have taken hold of this matter, and as
previously noted have sent a petition to
Congress, which was presented by Col.
Steele, two or three weeks since.
Postoffice Business.
The following shows the business
done in the Charlotte postoffice during
the past quarter ending December 31st:
Number of money orders issued, 851 ;
aggregate of same $9,086.60.
Number of money orders paid, 1400;
aggregate of same, $21,804.13.
Registered letters delivered, 880 ; num
ber registered, 240.
Letters and postal cards despatched
(estimated), 180,000; number received,
the same.
Taking this as an average of three
months' business and it is almost the
correct average the years business
can be readily calculated,
The Weather for December.
From the monthly meteorological re
port made by the signal office in this
city the following facts concerning the
weather in December are gleaned:
Mean daily barometer, 30.055 ; highest,
(on the 19ih,) 30,510, lowest, (on the 10th,)
29,74; monthly range of barometer,
1,436; highest temperature, (12th,) 61,
lowest, (28th,) 17 ; monthly range of
temperature, 44; greatest daily range of
temperature, 23 ; least daily range of
temperature, 7 ; mean daily range, 14.5;
total rain fall or melted snow,6.55 inch
es; prevailing wind, northeast; maxi
mun velocity of wind and direction, 25
miles an hour, east, on the 1st ; number
of clear days, 14; number of fair days,
6; number of cloudy days on which
rain or snow fell, 6; total number of
days on which rain or snow fell, 8 ; frost
fell every day during the month, except
1st, 9th, 10th, 13th, 14th and 15th.
City Economies.
Among the suggestions for the better
government of cities urged by the wri
ter of an article in the January number
of; the North American Review are a
more rigid professional superintendence
of all public works, greater economy in
the internal administration of the city's
supplies and waste, and the adoption of
a system by which compensation or
fixed rent shall be taken for every kind
of street occupation ; railroads, tele
graph poles, gas pipes, news and busi
ness stands and all ambulatory voca
tions. No privilege should be granted
without adequate compensation. If
American cities would follow the ex
ample of Paris in this respect it is
thought that an income would be se
cured which would, by reasonable in
crease with their growth and with a re
turn' Of prosperity, either provide for
local debts within the period of their
maturity or relieve a large burden of
("the annual taxes. Another-" source of
revenue suggested is the sale of city
waste to the highest bidder for fertiliz
ing or filling purposes.
Society Personals.
It is conceded on all hands and re
marked upon with pride and pleasure
that notwithstanding the fact wirfe was
handed around in the greatest abun
dance in almost every house that the
new year's callers visited, the day pass
ed without a single young man suc
cumbing, It is. estimated, too, that
there were about forty gentlemen out.
Mr. Jno. D. Williams was the only
non-resident among the new year's call
ers. One party presented Mr, George
Smedes' card, but regretted that he wras
compelled to return to Raleigh before
the calling began.
Miss Sadie Bailey, of Alabama, is vis
iting the family of Mr. W. H. Bailey in
this city.
A young lady of Greensboro,' well
known in Charlotte was to liave been
married lastTniglit to a voting salesman
fi&m 3 Richmond, ' ; :
It is said that almost any crowd of
gentlemen can enter a room with a
show of grace, but only a few leave
gracefully. Did you notice it new year's
day?
They didn't do much calling in Wil
mington. The Review says : : flhere
were some New Year's callers in the
city to-day. Some went n foot, and
some in carriages. But the day was not
generally observed in this way. This
custom, which was only inaugurated
here after the war, has been gradually
dying out each succeeding year until
finally there are but very few, indeed,
who keep up the practice. .
Postal Statistics.
We have been permitted to see the re
port of Theo. N. Vail, superintendent of
railway mail service, to the second
assistant postmaster-general, for the
year 1878, from which we gain the fol
lowing interesting facts showing the
extent of the business and the perfec
tion which it has attained.
The number of letters and. pieces of
paper mail matter distributed -during
the year, was 2,215,080,650.
-Number of errors made in the distri
bution of the same, 625,662.
Number of letter's and pieces of pa
per mail distributed to each, error, 3,540.
The' report shows -a very large in
orooeo in thn amount of mail handled.
This is due to the increased: facility for
thft increased mileage or
railway post-offices and the more per
of hni nf obtaining. the records.

Advancement
Intelligence and
in
mecklenbiirg Farming. - 07
W$ believe the farmers of Mecklen
burg to bje the most intelligent and the
most prosperous fanners in North Car
olina. In everything calculated to ad
vance agricultural interests they are
always found in the lead, and a fresh
evidence of this growing spirit of intel
ligence and progressiveness among them
is found in the fact that those of the
Sugar Creek neighborhood have just or
ganized themselves into a class for the
study and practice of agricultural chem
istry. Rev. Dr. Davis, the lecturer of
the State Grange, a man of learning and
a chemist of practical experience, has
been engaged to instruct the Sugar
Creek farmers in this branch of their
business, and arrangements are on foot
for the formation of similar classes in
Mallard Creek and Sharon townships,
Dr. Davis to lecture before these also.
We cannot express too warmly our
sense of gratification in learni ng of this
advanced step on the part of so large
and respectable a portion of our farm
ing commlinity. To farm successfully
requires intelligence and thought, as
much so as any other business in life,
and it will be a good day for agricul
turists generally when they come to re
alize the fact and get out of the old
grooves.
Going from the Funeral of Her Hus
band to That of Her Father.
All who saw them had the sympa
thies of their hearts to g out toward
a mother who reached this city from
the South, accompanied by eight child
ren, one of them an infant, during the
bitter cold weather of the day after
Christmas. The oldest of the children
was hardly able to take care of the
youngest. The lady was Mrs. John
Booe, a daughter of Dr. Jas. Calloway,
of Wilkesboro. She had been living
with her husband in Louisiana for a
number of years, but a short time be
fore Christmas he was kicked to death
by a vicious mule, and his widow, gath
ering her children around her, turned
her face toward her old home. The
mother, with her little ones, left here
for Statesville on the morning of the
27th, and arriving there, started by pri
vate conveyance to Wilkesboro, a dis
tance of 40 miles, herself and eight
children in one carriage The cold was
extremely severe, the roads were heavy
and the mountains covered with snow.
All the party must have suffered great
ly from the rigorous weathers, especial
ly so since the journey occupied about
forty-eight hours ; but it was a sad end
ing which it had when finished, for Mrs.
Booe, arrived at her old home, learned
for the first time that her father was a
corpse in the house, and the family was
plunged in the deepest grief.
Dr. Calloway was one of the oldest
and most generally esteemed citizens
of Wilkes county. He had been a mem
ber of the convention of 1861, and was
prominent as a physician and as a man.
Hop Complimentary A marriage
Which Bets were Made.
on
Invitations are out and we acknow
ledge the receipt of one for a hop to be
given this evening at the Metropolitan
Hotel, complimentary to Mr. and Mrs.
Joseph Fischesser. The committee of
invitation consists of Messrs. C. Roedi
ger, N. Duls, Henry Behrens, S. Lan
decker and H. Klueppelberg.
Mr. Fischesser attended the Paris-Exposition
last fall, and while in France
his old home, he married a lady-love of
former days. His marriage surprised
his friends here. They neither believed
beforehand that he was to be - married,
nor afterwards that he was. He had
given out, before he left, that he would
be married ere he returned, but he did
it in such a wav-as to inspire doubts of
his sincerity. He tested the skepticism
of his friends bv offering to bet with
them on the subject. He bet six kegs
of beer that he would return with his
bride ; they bet six kegs of beer that he
wouldn t. He went and returned and
no uruie came witn 111111; tne inenus
claimed the beer; Fischesser demurred
and told them to wait, that she would
be along after awhile. They were clam
orous for beer and would not belie ve h im ;
well he offered to bet them six more
kegs of beer that he was married Thev
took the bet and the burden of proof
was on Fischesser and all he asked for
was a little time, wmcn was granted.
On the evening of the 24th ult., he re
ceived a telegram saying that his wife
would be in on that night's train. He
went to the depot and she came accord
ingly. He and she, after landing at
.New 1 ork, had parted company tempo
rarily. She had gone West to visit some
relatives who had come to America
many years ago, and he came on to
Charlotte.
Mr. Fischesser has his friends dead on
the second bet, but they are contesting
the payment of the first on a technical
ity, viz: He bet that he would bring
his wite back with him, and instead or
this he came alone and she followed
him. Ergo, they argue, they have won
the bet. Fischesser maintains that,
while it is true that his wife did not
actually return with him, still the fact
of his marriage is the only material
fact involved, and we "dunno" but what
they will have to have an arbitration or
a law suit aoout it. mx kegs 01 neer
are at stake.
Conclusion of Coroner's Investigation
Coroner Alexander, with his jury,
consisting of N. Gibbon, foreman; N. C.
Frazier, W. H. Robinson, G. S. Hunter,
M.C Ferris, W. R. Alexander, W. A.
Warsham, John Smith, Hampton Mc
Laughlin, Nat Henderson, David Rai-
ney and Derrick Moore, concluded his
investigation, yesterday, or tne case or
the negro, Frank Miiler, whose dead
bodv was found last week in the wooks
in Mallard Creek township. The ver
dict of the jury was, "That the deceased
came to his death in some nanner to
the jury unknown."
Quite a considerable amount of evi
dence Was adduced by the juty of in
quest, and though there was nothing to
warrant the commitment of any one on
a charge of homicide, the testimony
opened up a wide field for speculation.
Wm. Hunter, a white youth, who re
sides with the Misses Todd, gave evi
dence which coincides with that print
ed in The Observer, a few days ago,
to-wit: That about 2 o'clock during the
night of Wednesday, December llth,
(or Thursday morning, the 12th) one of
the Misses Todd arose and let a dog out
of the house, and noticed a colored man
rstandiiTgiTr the yard 7 she hailed him
without --jeiicmng a repiy, wnereupon
she fired twice at the man. Witness
thereupon got up, and going to the
door took the pistol from Miss Todd
and himself fired one shot at the man ;
the man dropped to his knees, as could
be seen in the moonlight, but when he
(Hunter) went out, the intruder had
disappeared. Here is a ground for sup
position. Rachael Alexander, colored, testified
that on the night of Friday, December
20th, she was at the bouse of Tillie
Wilson colored, and about 8 or 9 o'clock
heard two men passing along the road,
quarreling, and leard something said
about $10. Directly after they had gone
by she heard a pistol shot proceed trom
the direction in which they had gone
arid, she judged, in the neighborhood of
the locality .where the body was found.
Mr. A.F. Yandle. the keeper of the
nnnr house, testified that Miller was of
unsound mind ; that on the night of the
llth of Decern oer ne nau a tumcuicy
with another one of the inmates and
1 ft an d n ever r-eturned.
The dead body was identified as that
of Pink Miller, beyond a doubt The
only question is as to how; be came to

As provided for in the rules and regu
lations of the Charlotte chamber of
commerce, the regular annual meeting
for the election 6t officers was held at
their rooms in The Observer building
yesterday. It has been one of the cus
toms of .this body to . have a dinner on
the occasion of the anniversary; meet
ings, but this pleasant feature Of the
organization was dispensed with on
tins occasion. After the transaction of
some routine business, the body pro
ceeded to the election of officers for the
ensuing year. It is only just and fair
to both the president and the secretary
to say that "they declined to serve longer
in the positions which they have both
held for the past two years. The elec
tion resulted as follows :
President S. Wittkowsky, ,
1st Vice-President R. Y. McAen,

The Convention of Northern Settler
A Sag-gestion.
It is suggested that Northern men
who have settled in the South since the
war, who have seen the call for a con
vention of this class of citizens in Char
lotte on the 15th inst., whether they
propose to attend it or not write to Mr.
N. Dumont, of this city, to whom all
correspondence in reference to the sub
ject should be addressed, giving their
views upon the matters which it is pro
posed that the convention shall touch,
at the same time furnishing such facts
and statistics as bear upon the condi
tions of their several counties, socially,
morally, politically, religiously or other
wise, having an eye mainly to agricul
tural statistics. It is only by this means
that the facts can go out as it is propos
ed they shall, since the letters, or the
substance thereof, will be given to the
press of the country and thus gain gen
eral dissemination.
We are requested by Mr. Dumont to
say, and do so in this connection, that
those who propose to attend the con
vention will apply to him, as early as
practicable, for transportation, in order
that he may make arrangements for
them according to the rates given by
the several railroads.
Ease Attainable by the Bheumatic.
Yes, although they may despair of relief, It Is
attainable by rheumatic sufferers, for there Is a
remedy which carries off, by means of Increased
activity of the kidneys Important channels for
blood purification the acrid element to which
pathologists the most eminent attribute the painful
symptoms a theory completely borne out by urin
ary analysis. The name of this grand depurent Is
Hostetters, a preparation likewise celebrated as a
remedy for constipation, which causer contamina
tion of the blood with the bile and a certain
means of relief in dyspepsia, fever and ague, and
nervous ailments. It is, perhaps, the finest tonic
extant, and is highly recommended as a medicinal
sUmulant by distinguished physicians and analysts
who pronounce It to be eminently pure and very
beneficial. The press also endorses it
As Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American people are
to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or dis
ordered liver. The result of these diseases upon
the masses of Intelligent and valuable people is
most alarming, making life actually a burden In
stead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and
usefulness as it ought to be. There Is no good rea
son for this, if vou will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of Druggists and
your friends, and try one bottle of Green's August
Flower, your speedy relief Is certain. Millions of
bottles of this medicine have been given away to
try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case.
You can buy a sample bottle for 10 cents to try.
Three doses will relieve the worst case. Positively
sold by all druggists on the Western Continent.
The Rich California Banker.
When It became known that one of the richest
California bankers had left the Pacific Coast and
transferred his base of operations to the New York
Stock Exchange, all the shrewd financiers watched
his couise with keen Interest to see how he would
succeed. The result has emphatically proved the
wealthy bankers sagacity. Besides having a much
wider and more promising field to operate in, he is
known to have been In several stock combinations
that paid Immense profits. By the combination
method of operating in stocks Messrs. Lawrence fc
Co., Bankers, N. Y., unite orders of thousands of
customers, in different sums, into one vast capital,
and operate them as a mighty whole, dividing prof
its pro rata among shareholders every 30 days.
Capital in any amount from $10 to $100,000 can
be used with great success in these pools. $25
would pay $100 profit $500 would make $5,000
or 1 ( 1 per cent on the slock during the month.
Messrs. Lawrence & Go's new circular (mailed free)
gives "two unerring rules for success," and full par
ticulars, so that any one can operate in stocks, and
make money. Stocks and bonds wanted. Govern
ment bonds supplied. Apply to Lawrence & Co.,

Every Moment's Wonderful Work.
Every moment that we live the work of destruc
tion never ceases among what is scientifically call
ed ''the tfssues" of which our bodies are composed.
Every moment, if we are In health, the work of re
pairing this-destructive process goes on with equal
pace. , When the vital force is great, more vigor Is
given to the blood and muscular fibre than the or
dinary wear and tear of existence uses up. When
the vital force falls from any cause, there ensues a
wasting away, which If not arrested, ends hi decay
and death. Physicians all declare that when these
symptoms of decline set in, the only certain reme
dy is Cod Liver OIL But their patients, with al
most equal unanimity, say that Cod Liver Oil Is "so

is an unequalled tonic, f6rthe nerves and brain.
