We much enjoyed the pleasure of seeing m the city last evening. Maj 'Win. A. Ilearne, a genial gentleman and a journalist whose ability, vigor and polish of style have placed him in the front ranks ot his prof ession. Maj ilearne is the autnor oi the series of i-i 1 i . 1. ' - T . 1 i editorial articles wmcn nave ueen ap pearing tor two or three weeks past in .t he lialeigh Observer on the subject of internal improvements, and which have attracted such v ide-spread atten tion and so much favorable comment. He ban lately been up the Western North Carolina Railroad, for the pur pose of examining the work at the tiejul of that road, and arrived here yesterday evening ofli of a trip over the Chester '& Lenoir Narrow Gauge Rail road, which he made f or the purpose of examining the practical operations of the narrow gauge system of railroads. w jMwsst test Ca :eJ meeting1 of the Board Vf Al- demon The board of aldermen held a called meeting in the mayor's office Monday aiternoon at which were present Mayor Smith, and Aldermen Miller, S'o.t, Wilson, Sanders, Weddington, Butler, Moore, Xisbet and Dowd. A petition was read from F. W. Ahrens asking to be allowed to remove his planing mills from the present location to the rear of his dwelling on Fifth street. The petition was on motion laid over till the next meeting for consideration. Alderman Scott called attention to the occasional habit of aldermen sign ing petitions when not in meeting, protesting against the practice on the ground that the members of the board ought to be untrammelled and that the only effect of such signing was to deceive tha petitioner as the alderman could not afford to allow themselves to be governed by what they had done outside the meeting. Petitions for the location of kerosene lamps on the corner of E and Stonewall streets, corner of First and E streets, comer of Second and E streets and on Morehead street, between Tryon and the railroad, were granted and the street commissioner was ordered to erect them. It was i ordered on petition that the dwelling house of Mrs. Huneycutt on First street be moved so as not to interfere with the street line. The committee appointed at the last meeting to propose a plan for improv ing the sidewalks with the sum of $1,000 which was appropriated for the purpose, reported, favoring the idea that the improvements should be of a permanent character. They suggested that the sidewalks most in need of repair should be improved with sub stantial curbing filled in with gravel or pounded rock. The mayor then read the charter in reference to constructing sidewalks, and the subject was discussed at some length. Finally the board decided to desig nate the streets on which it was necessary that work should be done, and it was ordered that the clerk issue forthwith notices in writing to the owners of property lying on Trade, Tryon and College streets within the fol lowing limits: Tryon, from Fourth to Fifth ; Trade, from the North Carolina Railroad to Church street; College street from Fourth to Fifth, that unless they proceed, withiri the next thirty days to lay sidewalks in front of the property, of brick, Portland cement or dressed stone, with curbing of good rock in which event the city will pay one half of the cost of the same, the board, will by authority confered in section 23 of the city char- er, proceed to put down pavements on said streets. Alderman Dowd offered the follow ing which was adopted: Whereas, There are many old dilapidated wood buildings within the fire limits of this city, that are so com bustible that they are liable to take fire at any time and produce disastrous conflagrations, therefore, Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to examine and report as to how many and what buildings within the fire limits are in such a con dition as to endanger other property, with a view to having the same con demned, by proper legel proceedings and that they report at the next meet ing. The mayor reported for the considera tion of the board the case of Philo Reed, colored, who was injured in the discharge of his duties as fireman, on the night of the 25th of December, and on motion it was ordered that his vvaces as a strett laborer be paid until he is again able to work.

No doubt of it ; the young folks are half wild on the subject of skating, i ester- dav made the sixth day and yet there is no cessation in the interest. The crowd at Stuart's pond vesterday was arge and the ice was finer than it ever has vet been. There have been no ac cidents of any consequence and nothing to mar the pleasures ot the gay tnrong. It was exDected that the ice would still be trood to-day ; if so, Stuart's pond will be again-alive with skaters, Pi-ogre on the Western North Caro- lina Railroad. We ara indebted to Maj. Wm. A, Ilearne, who has been on a tour of ex amination, for the Raleigh Observer, to the head of the Western North Caroli na Railroad, for the following informa tion on the progress of that work: There remains to be removed, before the roadway is graduated for the track, about five thousand cubic yards of earth, and this consists almost entirely ot land-slides that have iaiien in on the road-bed. If no further slides occur the roadway will be ready for the track to the mouth of the Swannanoa tunnel in two weeks more. All the temporary and permanent trestle work is done on the mountain section except one, a hundred and fifty feet long, and another of about eaual lensrtb. nearly finished, and both will be completed in a week. In the Swannanoa tunnel there re mains a hundred and fifty lineal feet of the headinc to be taken out before davliffht is let through. Then the bench for two hundred and fifty feet, taken out, will complete the big tunnel. They are progressing at the rate or twenty five feet a week with the heading, and the whole can be completed in from six weeks to two months. As soon as the track-layuig reaches the Swannanoa tunnel, a tramway.will be laid on the bpneh. and iron transported through on it. and four miles of track laid on the marl-bed now ready on the western slope, toward Asheville, and by the time the oath ran uass through the tunnel there will be six or seven miles of track laid in Buncombe, so that by the 1st or middle of March passengers and freight can be transported at Stepp's House, m the neighborhood of Black Mountain Station. " ' ' T?ottra, r entertained, however, o: fiivfhpr sliriinc as a movement has been going on for a year past involving five or six acres of mountain side at Mud Cut, and the track has several times been open onlv to fill up again. The work already done on land slides in the mountain section would, it is said, have graded the road to Asheville. But if the cars are once got to running through the sliding cuts, the force of hands will be able, with the help of the construc tion train, to keep the roadway open. The work of grading is progressing quite rapidly beyond the ridge on to ward Asmpville. and once across the 1 mountain there are no serious obstruc tions in the way of a satisiactory pro gress of the Western Horth Carolina Railroad, C1XY COUNCIX,. BtBiE i SOCIETY, ffeeUng-, eaterdar of b JCxocmire The executive committee of Mecklen burg Countv Bible Society held its reg ular monthly meeting yesterday in the lecture room of the First Presbyterian church. Mr. J. Duls was chosen chair man, and Gen. John A. Young secre tary. The report of Dr. F. Scarr, colporteur of the society, was presented, read and approved by the committee. The report stated that Dr. Scarr had been in the employ of the society for 59 days, during which he had canvassed the north W estern half of Mecklen burg county, it being all that portion of the county tying between the Catawba river and the lines of the North Caro lina and the Charlotte, Columbia & Augusta Railroads. That he had sup plied 242 destitutions by donations of the Scripture, and had sold $91.53 worth of Bibles and Testaments, and that this portion of the couuty is now sup plied with the Bible, leaving the south eastern half of the"county and the city of Charlotte yet to be canvassed. Dr. Scarr's , business engagements re quiring him to discontinue his labors in the interest of this society Jthe commit tee reluctantly accepted his resignation as colporteur. The committee then proceeded to elect a colporteur to lill the vacancy occa sioned by Dr. Scarr's withdrawal, which resulted in the selection of Rev. W. S. Haltom. Mr. Haltom will commence the canvass and suddIv of the citv of Charlotte immediately, and after it is completed will turn his attention to the uncanvassed portion of the county. j.ne rjioie society besneaK lor him a kind reception and a cordial co-opera tion on the part of the good people of Mecklenburg county which the society nas no aouot will be accorded him. A committee consisting of Messrs. W. B. Nisbet, E. K. P. Osborne and John A. Young was appointed to dispose of the tiorse and wagon which was used bv Dr. Scarr while in the service of the society, wnicn tne committee desire to do at once. The executive committee desire to call the attention of the churches which have been not made their contributions to the Bible cause for the current year, to the fact that the contributions made by a portion of the churches m the county since Octo ber last, have furnished the funds necessary to canvass and supply the destitute with the Bible in one-half of Mecklenburg county, and that its offi cers are continuing the work with the view of supplying the remaining half, including the city of Charlotte, upon the faith they repose in these churches which have not yet contrib uted coming promptly and liberally to i . . , : : i t v. i il - . , wich wiu. L, mess lue response is wim out delay, and with at least their usual liberality, the officers of the society will be compelled to suspend their work. Appreciating the necessity of mak ing a special effort to carry forward the work of supplying the remaining destitute of the countv withithe Bible to its full completion, the executive committee have taken the liberty of appointing the following gentlemen to - i- .1 1 , 1 A 1 visit, tne cuurcnes opposite meir names ind present the cause of the Bible Socie ty, and at the same time solicit a con tribution from the congregation in aid of its work. In this the committee hope they have not taken an unwarrant able liberty, by asking the aid of Chist- lan brethren, who theyare assured are in full sympathy with this important work. It is furthermore honed that the pastors of churches will communi cate with the representatives of the so ciety appointed to their respective churches, and that an arrangement may oe maue lor t heir visits at an early day : Huntersville A.

Scarr; Morning Star J. Sol. Reid. The importance of enlisting the in terest of the christian people in this. the great and united Church enterprise of the nineteenth century, is fully appre ciated by its friends ; and it is believed that this mode of disseminating infor mation in regard to it is the most prac ticable, and the officers of Mecklenburg Bible Society in availing themselves of it, commend their representatives to the favorable consideration of the con gregations to which they have assign ed them. It was ordered bv the committee that The Observer be requested to publish these proceedings, and that the Demo crat and Home be requested to copy them. Death ol Samuel Herryhlll. Mr. Samuel Berryhill died at his home in Berryhill township, this coun ty, Monday evening at 8 o'clock in the seventv-ninth vear of his age. Mr Ber ryhill had been in feeble health for some time past. Last Wednesday he sus tained a stroke ot paralysis, and Mon day evening it was repeated, Mr. Berry hill dying very suddenly irom its ertects. Deceased was an esteemed and usetui citizen and through a long life life ha sustained the character of an henest man. The funeral services will take place to-day -at Big -Steel-Creek church. Mr. Berryhill leaves a large connection and a great many friend. County Affairs The county commissioners were again in session yesterday, all the members being present. The register of deeds was authorized in extreme cases to issue orders for the funeral expenses of paupers. ' J. F. Shumaker was granted license to sell liquor for the remainder of the revenue year in Long Creek township. The chairman of the board and R. M. White, Esq. were directed to visit the county jail and inspect the flues with a view to remedying any defects that may exist in them ; and to have such repairs made as the necessities of the case may demand. T. L. VaiL R. M. White and William Maxwell, were appointed a committee which is authorized to draw on the country treasurer for funds with which to assist extreme cases ot poverty or distress, after having ascertained with certainty that the applicants are in ac tual need of the necessities of life. Un der the present arrangement no such aid can be obtained unless from the county commissioners in session, and as thev onlv meet once a month, tne cnan- table purposes of the board are, in a measure, pracucany uiwarttru. s, x : 1 1 4.1 ... . i Overseers of public roads were ap- Dointed as follows: Tuckasege road from the Charlotte township line to the n t. it . . oi seven lime put, xkjui y o)mugs, dwcj n i i n r 4 xir:i v;reeK roau, noui m. a. r usuuo uu vlh ev's HilL George Suggs; Sharon road. from the fork near the Miller place to the Lewis mace.

"Weefcc of5: The Baptist church is the only one in the city which is pbsexvinff the weefe ot prayer appointed by the JJvangelicai Alliance. Meetings have been held, every night this week from 7 till $ o'clock at which : short addresses were made by the pastor on the subjects se lected for special petition each day. There is talk of a proposition for a union prayer meeting to be held proba bly to-morrow night, in which ail the Christian denominations in the city will be asked to join. It is proposed on this occasion to make special prayer for the spread of religion in the city. Should such a meeting be determined upon due notice will be given. Help for the Poor. In response to the suggestion recent ly made in The Observer that some thing be done to aid those people of the city who are suffering from hunger and cold during this trying weather, a gentleman has placed in our hands the sum of $50 with which to begin a sub scription to this humane cause. At his suggestion the amount will be placed in the hands of the mayor to be dis tributed by him in whatever manner may be deemed best adapted to accom plish the end in view. There is un questionably suffering irrthe communi ty among the poor of both r aces, and it must be a pleasure to all thoughtful people to hear that a step has been taken for their relief a beginning has been made, for this renders certain the fact that the poor are to be helped to some extent at least Other persons will be sure to follow this contribution by others, which, if not so liberal, will greatly help those in distress. The Observer will gladly receive all funds designed for this purpose and turn them over to whomsoever directed. A Goo4 BeMlitioa for New Tear s.
