The courts have not done anything lor t lie past two days. Fire wood was decidedly in demand yesterday, and occasionally brought iwo prices. Fewer people on the streets yester day than on any day the past four weeks. It is a rare thing that one sees a coin rnercial tourist these days. They come and go like llies. During this tine skating weather there is a great temptation to revive that joke about the . A goort theatrical company would d raw "well in Charlotte now. "We want something of the kind, bad. Every other drink pales in compari son with the most popular of all for the eold season corn and rocK candy. The amateurs will certainly present "The Hidden Hand" on the 20th of Jan nary, the 19th falling this year on Sun day. There is no further clue to the mys tcrv of the negro found dead in the woods. The field for speculation is too wide. Yesterday waa the coldest day accord ing to the" nasal thermometer which ditfers from all others in that it takes, note of the wind. ' That was a very pleasant dance the vounger set of voting men had day be fore yesterday "evening at the residence of Mrs. Williamson. The last event in the life Clark Hall is tnat he lias been confined in jail for Jhirtv days for drunkenness and a gen-t-r d nuisance in the community. The collectors seemed to- think that evervbodv was receiving yesterday. Vou" couldn't walk ten steps without meeting a man with a handful of bills. If anv gentleman laid out last night, from inebriety or any other cause, the tallow got hard and caked up in him. No mistake about that. It is a wonder that the colored people of Charlotte have never fallen upon the custom of observing an emancipation day. They use the 1st of January in l!;ileigh. Xobodv seems specially anxious to re iurii to specie pavment. -Fact of the hi ittcr is the people don't care about making payment of any kind unless its necessary. The register of deeds notifies mer chants that the returns for the semi annual tax on purchases made within the past six months are due, or were due on the 31st of December. The Merchants' aim' Farmers' Na tional Hank, notwithstanding its propo sition to pav its dividends in gold, is not experiencing any material run. one man drew 840 in gold, yesterday. That was all. Tin- ponds will be in excellent condi 1 ion for skating to-day. Numbers went out vesterdav and report that it was freezing all day. The young men were making up parties last night to go to Park's early this morning. Register Keogh has appointed the l.-.th of January for a meeting ot the creditors of William Sloan, ot this city, io show cause why his petition to be discharged from all his debts prior to the isth of December, 1875, should not lie granted.

There was Charles Augustus, for instance, who has some unpleasant recollections in connection with the gilded pleasures of the occa sion. The story has been converted into rhyme; hear it: Augustus had a new year's card, Bevel-edged and gaudy, Ami everywhere Augustus went He swapped it off for toddy. Augustus had a lavender pants, He sat down once too much in, And photo'd a curbstone view thereon .Behind, like a bright escutcheon. Augustus gave his cards around I ntil he used the stock up, And woke, a sadder, wiser man, Next morning, in the lock-up. Improving: e Sidewalks. According to the resolution passed at the last meeting of the board of alder men, a called meeting will beheld with in the next few days for the purpose of receiving a report of a committee ap pointed to ascertain how the sum of $1,000 could be spent to the best advan tage in improving the sidewalks. Since the action of the board, the matter has been considerably discussed, and it is to be hoped that something will be done immediately. Only a few days ago we had an opportunity of seeing in what a terrible condition the sidewalks off the main streets could be brought by con tinuous wet weather. Let the improve ments be permanent improvements. The moveable plank system, as pro posed by some me in here of the board, won't begin to do. Whv, half of these proposed bridges for the" muddy chasms would be stolen in two nights and burned up before morning. Give us sand and rock, and spread them out as much as possible. Personal. ('apt. S. li. Alexander, Senator-elect from Mecklenburg, will go down to Raleigh Monday. It is not likely that his eligibility will be questioned. Col. Rrown and Capt. Ardrey, members of the House, will also go down early in the week. Mr. C,D Snow, formerly of this city, now with B. R. Smith & Co., New York, is in Charlotte on a short visit to his many friends. Col. O. J. Foreacre, of the Air Line, and Col. A. B. Andrews, of the North Carolina Railroad, were both in the city yesterday. Hope they are arranging for the immediate construction of the union depot. Brother Micheau, of the Greensboro Central Proatestant, made himself known to The Obsekver yesterday, and it enjoyed a very pleasant call from him. Mr. J. S. Tomlinson, editor of the Piedmont Press, was in the city last night, en route to Raleigh. He is a candidate for one of the clerkships of the Legislature, and we hope he will be elected. . He is a hard working young man and would make a faithful and conscientious officer. A Kow in a Cotton market. The factors and buyers .in the Augus ta cotton market have recently had a quarrel which involves- a question of some interest. The former published a circular agreeing that on and after Jan uary 1, 1879, they will retain in their possession, duly marked, all samples by which they may sell cotton, until the cotton thereby represented shall have been delivered to the purchaser, and after the shipment of the cotton thus represented said samples shall be held as said seller's property. In consequence the buyers held a meeting on new year's day and adopted the following resolutions': Whereas, certain of the cotton fac tors of this city have undertaken to in augurate a new rate to-wit: That the seller of cotton shall "retain the sale samples, contrary to the custom hith erto prevailing in this city, and in all the principal markets of this State, viz: Savannah, Macon, Columbus, Atlanta, and in Charleston 1. Resolved, That the relation of buy er and seller being mutual, no rule regu lating trade can be established but by mutual agreement or concession. 2. We do hereby bind and pledge our selves not to submit to the above rule and to buy no cotton at all unless with right, as heretofore, of taking and re taining possession of the purchase samples after the cotton is shipped.

Whaling, for a long time conduc tor on the Richmond and Danville Railroad, has been transferred to the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail road. He has made his last trip on the former line, and will at once enter upon his duties on his new run. The three Air-Line engineers who run the nigh t passenger tr ains,make over 5 OOO miles per month, and consequent ly run three times the distance around the globe in a year. Fred Krogg says he thinks when he quits the road he will join a circus so he can move around a little. . . , It is learned here that after to-morrow the train which leaves here at 6:45 n m will make a connection at Greens boro with a freight and passenger strain to Raleigh, and that a passenger leav ing here in the evening can arrive at Raleigh about daylight the next morn in Connection will also be made at Greensboro with the train coming this way, arriving at 11 7 a.

Mrs. Chanfrau,. the finest emotional actress who ever visited Charlotte, is booked to appear here about the llth or 12th. The Dramatic and Musical Mirror says: "Miss Florence Davenport, the youngest of the Davenport sisters, will soon go upon the stage. She is hand some, talented, and has, besides, a well cultivated contralto voice." Tony Denier's Humpty Dumpty is to be in Columbia on the 6th, and after wards in Wilmington. Miss. Jenny Hughes female company were in Columbia last night and the night be fore. These latter sort do not come to Charlotte any more. The Sacred Concert Last Night. Notwithstanding the very cold weath er last night by far the coldest we have had this season there was a first rate crowd at Calvary church to hear the sacred concert given by the child ren of Try on Street Methodist church, under the management of Mr. A. L. Butt, and what is still further worthy of remark, all the children who were to take part Jn the evening's entertain ment, were also present The concert was, in all respects, the same as that given at Trvon Street church, Christ mas night. Even the feature of Santa Claus was retained. On this occasion 1 he came in with a bag of apples in his ancient oack ana distributed them around to the children who contributed to the pleasures of the evening. Mr. Butt deserves va great deal of credit for the pains he has taken to bring the children, some of whom are quite small, up to the degree of perfection which they have attained. The audience were delighted with the entertainment, last night, which went through from begin ning to end without a balk of any sort. A Case of Intimidation. This thing of playing on musical in struments has gotten to be rather a dan gerous business unless you are going to . play mighty fast. Not long ago a Wa- Lauga uuumy uiaii was Kinea oy ms host because he didn't fiddle fast enough, in the opinion of his hospitable host, to meet the requirements of the occasion ; and only day before yester day a drunken fellow inveigled our new organ-grinder down into one of the back alleys of the city, and was about to visit dire vengeance upon him be cause he didn't grind out more square feet of music to the minute. We have not said whether or not we consider the summary annihilation of fiddlers and organ-grinders justifiable or not on general principles ; it has been said by some that they cannot be included among those who are "in the peace of God and the State," and that therefore to kill them is not a crime. However this may be, the Teller committee might take the cases in hand and see what they think about it. TELEQRAPHIC MARKET jPORTT" JANUARY 3, 1877 PRODUCE.
