Two young men got into a squabble
on the ice pond yesterday and drew

Are the poor of the city to go through
all this bitter cold weather without as

Several persons were putting up ice

Jtloncy-Snatcher Arrested.
Constable Urr dropped into Ferry
iviuieiieau uaiiroom yesterday and ar
rested a negro named Tom Ditcher
upon a warrant charging him with
highway robbery committed in the
town of Rock Hill, on the loth of Octo
ber last. The story is that Ditcher and
another negro named John Baxter went
to a man named Peter Robinson and
asked him to change some money.
"When Robinson pulled out a roll of
money for the purpose, one of them
aqivtdhed it from his hand, and they
both then took to their heelsr since
which time nothing ha been heard of
them in the region around about Rock
Hill. It was believed that they had
emigrated to Charlotte as all colored
thieves from South Carolina do; and the
officers have been on the look out for
Ihem some time. Nothing has been
heard from Baxter. The money they
got amounted to about $15.

Skating Yesterday and To-Day.
The skaters had a glorious day of it
yesterday. Xearly everybody was on
Pinter's pond. The majority of the
crowd went out about 11 o'clock and
spent the day, scarcely any returning
till dark. The ice was excellent, but
on account of the large number of
skaters was badly cut up before the day
was over. In consequence of this it
has been decided to try Stuart's ponds
to-day. This is about two and a half
miles from the city, beyond Biddle In
stitute. The road to the pond is said to
be better than that leading to any other
in the neighborhood. There will be a
large crowd there to-day.
Another Paper for Catawba.

The New Law Compensating Post
masters.
The "Washington Republican says the
Postoffice Department is realizing the
beneficial effects anticipated from the
law which went into effect on the 1st of
July last, changing the mode of com
pensating postmasteis at fourth class
omces Dy allowing them commissions
on the amount of stamps canceled on
letters mailed instead of on the amount
of stamps sold.
The returns for the quarter ended
Sept. 30 have just been adjudicated,
ana snow that the total amount or
stamps sold during the quarter was
$6,407,972, and the pay of postmasters
$1,721,341, or26K per cent, of the postal
revenue for stamps. During the quar
ter ended on the aoui ot J une it requir
ed 30.3 per cent, of the amount of
stamps soM to pay the compensation of
postmasters.
I rom these figures it appears that
the new system saves to the postal rev
enue 3.5 per cent, of all the stamps sold,
and that the savings at this rate during
the quarter endtd September 30 was
8224,279, or at the rate of $897,116
per annum. It is noticed that the
amount of stamps sold during
the quarter ended on the 1st of
July was &J81.745 in excess of the
amount sold during the succeeding
quarters. This excess is accounted for
bv the tact that advantage was taken
of the expiring moments of the old law
to secure the large premium it offered
on the sale of stamps. A result of the
old -system was. to leave in private
hands an undue accumulation of
stamps, often obtained at a discount
and through traffic and speculation,
and as these stamps will now be used
in paying postage, the postal revenues
are likely to suffer for some time to
come. This is indicated bv the dimin
ished sales for the first quarter after
the expiration of the old law.

Something Abont the Star in January
An astronomical authority gives the
following interesting facts concerning
the planets as they appear during the
present montn:
Venus is i evening star, though too
near the sun to be easily seen in the
early part of the month. Sheis,however,
coming towards the earth, while re
ceding from the sun, and by the end of
the montn will be a beautiful object to
behold, shining brightly in the glow of
twilight. She sets now about 5 o'clock
naif an hour after sunset but on
the 31st she will be above the horizon
for nearly an hour after sunset. The
most interesting planetary event dur
ing the month will occur on the 23d,
when Venus, Jupiter, and the new
moon will be m conjunction. The trio
will make a celestial picture beautiful
to see ; for the fairest, largest, and near
est of the solar brotherhood will be side
by side.
J upiter is evening star, but he will
soon be lost to sight, for at the end of
the month he will be too near the sun
to be visible. He sets now about 7, but
on the 31st will set about half-past 5.
Jupiter has nearly reached his least ap
parent dimensions and greatest distance
as seen from the earth. He arrives at
this extreme point on the 5th of Febru
ary, when he will be in conjunction
with the sun. After this epoch he will
re-appear on the western side of the sun
as morning star, drawing nearer to the
earth and growing brighter till his op
position on the 31st of August. This
radiant planet will be very much miss
ed among the starry host, where he has
reigned pre-eminent for several months
but the presence of "Venus, the brightest
of the throng, will soon make up the
loss.
Saturn is evening star, and is easily
recognized, his position differing little
from that of December. His steady
light and the absence of bright stars in
the neighborhood make him a marked
object. He comes to tne menaian
about 6 and sets about 11. He is grow
ing smaller as he recedes from us to
wards his conjunction with the sun,
which occurs on the 26th of March, af
ter which, following in the wake of
Jupiter, he will join the morning stars.
Mars is morning star, rising about 5,
two hours and a half before sunrise, is
perceptibly larger and brighter than
last month, and always easily recogniz
ed irom his ruddy light.
Mercury is mornmg star during the
month. He reaches his greatest west
ern elonghation on the 16th, and may
then be seen in the eastern skv an hour
before sun rise. This is one of the four
favorable opportunities for seeing Mer
cury as morning star during the year
1879.
The January moon fulls on the 8th,
and she has already passed her conjunc
tions with Jupiter and Saturn. She
will be in conjunction with Mars on
the 19th and Mercury on the 20th, the
waning crescent and the planets mak
ing a picture worth getting up early to
see. The new moon of the 22d will be
in conjunction with Venus and Jupiter
on the 23d, and with Saturn on the 27th,
three days before the first quarter.
Epiphany.
Yesterdav was the anniversary of the
festival of Epiphany, which is celebra
ted on the 6th ol January, the tweirtn
dav after Christmas, in commemoration
ot the appearance ot our Saviour to the
magians or philosophers; of the East
who came to adore him with presents;
or, as some maintain, to commemorate
the appearance of the star to the ma
gians, symbolizing the manifestation of
Christ to the Gentiles.
The Convention of Northern- Settlers.
Mr. Dumont has secured the opera
house tor the meeting ol the conven
tion of northern men who have settled
in the South since the war. The meet
ing will accordingly be opened there at
12 o clock on the loth instant.
The success of the convention is now
assured. An Observer was shown
three letters received by Mr. Dumont
yesterday afternoon one from Ashe-
ville, another irom Mooresville and
another from Park Hill, Burke county-
all of which highly commended the
objects of the convention and gave it
una ualined endorsement. Mr. Dumont
assures us that those are lair samples
of a hundred other letters he has
received on the subject, all of which it
is designed to have published in the
proceedings of the convention.
Mr. Dumont now counts confidently
on fully one hundred delegates. Passes
and special rates of transportation have
been secured lor this number already,
and new applications are coming in
daily. Most of the delegates will come
from North Carolina, though Virginia
and Georgia will both be well repre
sented. It is hoped that others who
have seen the call, whether they have
received a circular or not, will consider
themselves invited to participate in the
proceedings of the convention. Hi very
effort has been made to secure the
names of all northern settlers in this
and neighboring States, but of course
it has been impossible to get any thing
like a complete list. Those who can t

The County Poor House Report on
Its Condition.
The board or county commissioners
met in regular session yesterday. In
addition to the usual routine of business
transacted, Commissioner Vail, who
was appointed to visit the county poor
house, examine its condition and report
to the board an estimate of the supplies
needed for the year, read a report which
presents .tacts ot interest to the people
ol the county.
The commissioner states that he visi
ted the poor house on the 17th of De
cember and found thirty-one inmates
sixteen white adults, two white children.
and thirteen colored adults. Basing his
estimates on the supplies consumed
during the previous month, he concludes
that supplies for the year will be
needed as follows : 520 bushels of meal,
52 sacks of flour, 3,900 pounds of bacon,
104 gallons of molasses, 52 pounds of
conee, 104 pounds of sugar, 125 pounds
ol rice and 4 sacks or salt.
The report continues :
"I found on hand 7 fat hogs, which I
suppose would make 1,000 pounds of
pork ; cow peas. 50 bushels ; wheat, 10
bushels ; corn, 300 bushels, 100 of which
can be ground into meal for bread, the
residue will be necessary for feeding the
horses and hogs on the place. 1 also
found about 75 bushels of sweet pota
toes, 200 bushels of turnips, and cabbage
sufficient to last till the spring of the
year, when other vegetables will come
in.
The overseer informs me that the
number of inmates has heretofore been
greater during the winter months than
in the summer season, and at one time
the winter of 76 and '77-the number
was forty-five. He further added that
the number at present was large for the
season. Should the winter prove unu
lially severe we may expect to be
crowded to our utmost capacity, wmcn
with our present quarters should not
exceed fortv-five."
In addition to the report Commis1
sioner Vail presented several sugges
tions for the consideration ol the board
based upon his observations while at
the poor house, relative to the improve
ments needed. He says among other
things that the house in which the in
sane paupers are kept is provided with
no means ior neaung wuaiever, iin
that in conseauence of this oue ittn
f occunants has had hisfeer frost bitten.

A number of Mecklenburg county
bonds were sold in this city last week
for 91 cents. This is not bad, and con
sidering that the county is in debt
$360,000 it is a striking evidence of the
public faith in the county's ability and
purpose to meet its obligations. It is
an excellent sign, now that our banks
are no longer paying interest on depos
its, that these bonds are being sought
out as investments.
Personal.
Hon. Walter L. Steele stopped over in

Fire.
At 5 30 yesterday morning a barn on
the premises of Mrs. Morrow, in the ex
treme southwestern part of the city,
caught fire and burned to the ground.
It contained a quantity of "roughness,"
cotton seed and seed cotton, a portion
of which belonged to Jeff Hagfer, col
ored, the remainder to Mrs. Morrow.
The hre companies responded to the
alarm, but finding that they could do
nothing for lack of water did not go to
the fire. It is not known how it origi
nated ; no one on the premises had been
in the building for several days. A
tramp could probably tell. ;

A RemarkableBesilt.
It makes no difference how manv nhvslciana. or
how much medicine you have tried, it is now an es
tablished fact that German Syrup is the only reme-
ay wmcn nas given complete satisfaction in severe
cases of Lung Diseases. It is true there are yet
thousands of persons who are predisposed to
rnroat ana Lung Affections, Consumption, Hem
orrhages. Asthma, Severe Colds settled on the
Breast, Pneumonia, Whooping Cough, Ac., who
have no personal knowledge of Boschee's German
Syrup. To such we would say that 50,000 dozen
were sold last year without one complaint Con
sumptives try Just one bottle. Regular size 75
cents, bold by all druggists In America.
For UDwards of thirty years Mrs. Wlnslow's Sooth
ing Syrup has been used for children. It corrects
acidity of tne stomach, relieves wind colic, reeulates
the bowels, cures dysentery and diarrhoea, whether
arising irom teetning or other causes. An old and
well known remedy. 25c per bottle.
