Warm, rainy and blustering in the

said about yesterday's proceedings.
They tied up their little skates yester
day and regretfully laid them aw,ay.
There are four skaters in Charlotte now
where there was one ten days ago,
One result of the recent cold weather
is the entire absence of oysters from
our market. Hhs dealers have received

it has been impossible to get any.
The signal office, will hereafter keep
one of its bulletins posted at the post
office. The others are posted at the

Deatn ot jni Allison.
The death of Miss Mary Lou Allison,
daughter ot Mr. K. W. Allison, which
occurred at her home in Concord, night
before, last, at 8 o'clock, was received
yesterday morning just in time for in
sertion of the bare announcement of
the fact. Miss Allison has been at the
point ot death for some time, and her
iriemls and relatives have awaited the
result with painful solicitude. Miss
Al ison has a large circle of friends in
this section of the State by whom she
was greatly beloved for the amiability
and loveliness of her character which
never failed to make a lasting impres
sion upon all who met her. She will
be buried in Concord to-dav. Several
friends and relatives of the family in
this city went over yesterday afternoon
to be present at the funeral services.

Railroad Notes.
As is Usual at this lwrtieulm- tini nf
the year, business in the freight depart
ment Of all the roads is evoeedimrlv
dull.
The passenger traffic' of the Mil-rail
through lines has reaied the benefit of
the stoppage of traffic over the
routes, occasioned bv the ice.
The Atlanta Constitution, of Wednes
day, says: "The Teller committee of
the United States Senate, while in the
city Sunday, investigated the beautiful
train ready to go out on the Air-Line
road. The elegant coaches, furnished
with everv convenience, and the cene-
ral symmetry of the train, were much
admired."
The Atlanta Constitution lias inter
viewed an official of the Marietta and
fJorth Georgia railroad, who renresents
that the work is progressing favorably.
"The whistle of an engine can be heard
already in Cherokee county," said he;
and then he added: "We are going to
push right on to Murphy, N. C, and it
is time our friends at Asheville were
preparing to meet us there. They ought
to stir their stumps. Tins is a thorough
bred Georgia enterprise and we propose
to show what Georgians can do when
they take a notion to do a thing."
"be Coining Cocking main.
The cocking main w hich is to be had
in this city, commencing on the 15th
inst., will be an inter-State contest be
tween North Carolina and South Caro
lina. It will continue for three days
and the stakes will be $50 on each bat
tle and 31,000 on the odd. Each party
is to show twenty-one cocks. On the
first day the sides will show and match
and fight one battle, and the remaining
"battles will be fought "on theTwo suc
ceeding days. '.Extensive advertisement
of the coming event has been made by
posters nnd a large number of sporting
men will doubtless oe present.
The South Carolina partv, represented
here by Messrs. C. T. Walker & Co.,
have already brought up forty-one as
handsome cocks as ever stepped and
will receive fourteen more. Messrs. S.
B. Holt & Co., of Alamance, represent
ing North Carolina, are expected to ar
rive here to-night with their coops. As
their stocks are well known for their
fighting qualities, and as much pains
has been taken by the opposite party to
gather together a lot of games which
can stand against them; it may be ex
pected that this three days' sport will be
about as spirited as has ever been seen
here, which is putting the case strongly
since there is hardly a community in
the South which is more fully "up" than
this in all matters pertaining to the pit.
Help the Poor.
Editor Charlotte Observer:
I notice in this morning's Observer
that the ladies are taking steps to assist
the poor. I don't know whether they in
tend to help the poor outside the city
or not. There is a iamily living 3 miles
east of the city at the Park s place, con
sisting of a father and mother and
eight children, seven of them girls. As
a mutter of necessity all the girls labor
on the farm ; early last year the father
was stricken down by disease, which
rendered him entirely unfit for labor
for the year. During the summer
nearlv the entire family was stricken
with chills, but with all these difficul
ties they managed to harvest a fine crop
which is now under mortgage for pro
visions furnished. The girls haven't
sufficient clothing to keep them com
fortable, and they are worthy the no
tice of all charitable and Christian peo
ple, for I believe them to be respecta
ble and honest.
f liivn film ihel Ihem with suDDiies
the past four years,they being unable to
get them elsewhere; and I have been
peculiarly struck with tire honesty of the
father, who offers at the close of each
year to surrender all he has to settle the
debt, and while he now offers to ,do so,
I propose instead to cancel the mort
gage! hold, for $50, ahdtrustrothers
will see this notice and aid in gifts of
old clothing and other suitable articles
Which will be. very highly appreciated
by the family. -r,

Meeting of Citizen in lZca.nl i ih 1
Northern Uteri' Conrentioa.
;In response to the call published in
jpsterday morning's Observer, a meet
ing "was held last night in the rooms' of
the chamber! of commerce, at which
Mayor Smith presided, to discuss what
action was proper to be taken by the
citizens of Charlotte in reference to the
convention of Northern settlers in the
South, which is to assemble in the opera
house on th 15th; After discussion, in
wThich the objects of the convention as
announced in the call were highly com
mended by Col. H. C. Jones, R. N. Tiddy,
Dr. J. M. Miller, and others, who spoke
on the subject, it was resolved that a
committee be appointed, consisting of
Mayor Smith, and a citizen from each
ward, to .prepare an address of welcome
to the convention from the citizens of
Charlotte, expressing their gratification
that Charlotte had been selected as the
place of holding their meeting, the pur
poses of which are designed to advance
the material prosperity of the South,
and assuring them of cordial sympathy
in the work they have undertaken ; also
to take such other action as may be
deemed necessary in the premises. "
The committee wa3 constituted as
follows : Mayor Smith, to represent the
city at large ; Mr. R. M. Miller, from the
first ward; CoL II. C. Jones, from ihe
second ward ; Mr. W. J. Yates, from the
third ward, and Maj. C. Dowd, from the
fourth ward.
It was understood that the committee
would prepare the address forthwith,
and present it to the chairman of the
convention immediately after its organ
ization. 7IARRIED.
