The dramatic club rehearses to-night. The manager says that only the actors and their escorts are expected. One of the most appreciated of the recent street improvements is a rock crossing at the intersection of Tryon and Sixth streets. Two prisoners have been released from jail within the past two days, hav ing served out their terms of imprison ment. There has been an indescribable change in the postoffice. It will appear when you enter the door, if yon don't blind yourself against it. The news of the nomination of Gov. Vance by the Democratic caucus, was received here joyfully. It was a sub ject of general conversation on the streets yesterday, and the satisfaction of our people over thejresult is unbound ed. Many wives who had a suspicion that their husbands were hanging around the ragged edges of the cock-pit yesterday, examined their shoes last night, and it is not to be denied that in raanv cases, alas! alas! the tell-tale sawdust was there. The colored woman Lizzie Koopland, who was so seriously burned last Sat urday night by the explosion of a kero sene lamp in her house on Eighth street, is still in a very critical condition from painful bums on different parts of her body, particularly about the hips and arms. ; Itailroad Note. The Air-Line has built a temporary trestle over the wash-out on its road the other side of Garibaldi, and a cul vert is being built to take its place per m anently. The Atlanta & Charlotte Air-Line Railroad will put on very low special rates for the accommodation of persons who wish to visit the New Orleans Mardi Gras. The proceedings of the last meeting of our board of aldermen have stirred P the Wilmington papers, and they are again strongly talking Carolina Cen l ral Railroad shops. Thermometer Hecord.

T vu Seen in the Pit. There were about one hundred and fifty men in the cock pit yesterday when it was announcea that the hghting would commence. Most of these were about middle aged, though there was a con siderable sprinkling of younger men. The representation from the countrv was scarcely over twenty, and the vis itors were even fewer. The main has not been advertised as was that of last year, and hence the slim attendance of, sporting men from other towns. The utmost good order prevailed, there be- ngvery little drinking ; in fact there was not a drunken man or boisterous character on the grounds all day. not withstanding there was a bar-room ad joining. The pit is under a shed and is paruy surrounueu i oy seats. The time tor the hrst tight was nxed at 11 o'clock a. m., but it was 12 before the parties stepped into the ring with their cocks in hand. K. C. Franklin, ot Columbia, was the pitter for Walker & Co. and S. B. Holt pitted for Holt & Co. The judges took their places just out side the ring, and as the cocks were brought out they compared them with the description on paper in their hands to satisry themselves that there had been no change in the matching. First Fight North Carolina (Holt & Co.,) showed a red spangled. Holt's own breed, weight 4.15; South Carolina (Walker & Co..) a light gray, breed un certain, weight 4.15. The cocks did not fly at each other when first delivered, but walked over the pit and finally wrent at each other simultaneously; fought hard at first but had a lone rest towards the last. Both held up well. South Carolina killed by a wound in the neck ; time 35 minutes. Second Fig Id. North Carolina, black gray, Sim Jenkins stock, weight 5.3; South Carolina, dark gray Stone and War Horse, weight 5.1. Both flew at each other and fought rapidly. Black ray received a cut and nagged on the fth delivery, and on the sixth ran ; time 16.30. Third Fight North Carolina, silver gray, Sim Jenkins, 5.3; South Carolina, dark gray. Black" Hawrk, 5.1. Went to gether like a flash, silver gray being a high flyer. The fight was- pretty even for several deliveries and both held up well under a hard nght. The dark gray finally lost his vigor and received a stab in the neck : carried out of pit appar ently dying. The silver gray was un hurt; time 7.50. Fourth Fight North Carolina, gin ger red Red Horse, 5.2 ; South Carolina, ginger red Shawl Neck, 5.2. Shawl neck fought vigorously from the jump and seemed to have the advantage for the first five deliveries but received several severe cuts and lost an eye; flagged for awhile but revived and held up pretty well until struck in the head. The red horse kept up well and was fresh at the last but lost an eye. There were ten deliveries and a long rest both chickens being blind in one eye and having the blind sides turned towards each other ; time 23.20. Fifth Fight North Carolina, silver gray Sim Jenkins, 5.4 ; South Carolina, red bhawl Neck, 5.4. The Shawl JNeck flew at his antagonist at the start, and alter some vigorous hghting, got the advantage which he held throughout. The gray flagged early and was down two-thirds of the time, but continued to strike as long as he was able. The shawl neck was in good condition at the close, when the pitter of the gray gave up the fight. isixti Hight. JNorth Carolina, black gray him Jenkins, 5.o; bouth Carolina, lied Tarter, 5.5. Sharp fighting from the jump by both. The gray received three cuts about the neck and head on three several deliveries, and on the third ran out of the pit, but died before the gaffs were taken off. The Red Tar ter received little, if any injurv. Time, 3.10. Seventh Fight. North Carolina, dark Red Quill, 5.5: South Carolina, brass back gray ; Stone and War Horse, 5.6. Flew at each other savagely and fought vigorously and with -equal advantage until the second delivery when the gray was wounded in the back, and when taken up was bleeding at the mouth ; he died on the third delivery, The best fight of the day. Time, 1.40. Eighth Fight North Carolina, blue gray, Sim Jenkins, 5.8 ; South Carolina, gray domimque, breed uncertain, 5.8. This was a long and bloody fight neith er gaining the advantage and both be ing literally cut to pieces. The domi nique flagged first, and failing to make a stroke was, according to the rules, af ter five deliveries, counted out ; time 39. The result of the dav s fight was. North Carolina. 5; South Carolina, 3. North Carolina having won the first fight, day before yesterday, the second stands 6 to 3. The betting was pretty lively, but no very large bets were made. The North Carolina backers are very jubilant. They only have to win four fights to day to win the main. The fighting begins this morning at 11 o'clock, and the main will be closed to-day, there being yet nine fights to be had. NOTES OF THE PIT. The last day of the main. It open out with the odds in favor of the North Carolinians. "Hack fights" were going on at the cock pit till a late hour last night. The severest fighting of the main will be that to-day. Both sides will put their very best birds in. In the fifth of to-day's battles will appear, according to the sworn declara tions of Uncle Ned Glavin, the "faer-faemed-fleary eye" one of North Caro lina's most boasted strains.

The report oi tne presi dent of the board of directors snows that th inat.it.nt.inn was operated last year within the appropriation and had lett a Daiance or snowing quite an extraordinarv saving, which was devoted to the building of a much- needed wing to the asylum. The presi dent in his report, reiernng to mese figures, says: "With the balance on hand at. tins date.

Chambers, the livery man of this city, was a citizen of New Zealand sixteen years ago, and was the first man in the town of that province where he resided, to run a dray. The first man in that town who gave him any work in the line of draying was Mr. J. C. Bates. Afterwards Mr. Chambers left New Zealand and lately settled in Char lotte. In the meantime Mr. Bates had settled in the adjoining countv of Union, and yesterday the two met "again and Mr. Bates paid Mr. Chambers a dray fee. They were glad enough to see each other, too.; . . L meeting in Behalf of the Poor To Day . The temporary association for the re lief of the poor expires by limitation to day, and by order of the meeting of citi zens which organized this association, another meeting is called for this after noon at 4 o'clock, for the organization of a permanent association. All citi zens, male and female, are invited to attend. It is hoped by those who have begun this work that all good citizens will at once recognize the necessity of such an organization and not fail to attend the meeting to-day. , i i ' Statesville Ileum. The first term of Iredell Superior Court, lately organized, has been in ses sion this week. It passed, among oth ers, on five jail cases which came with in its jurisdiction. A young man from the northern part of the county has been arrested and lodged in jail on the charge of rape. Application for bail, on a writ of ha beas corpus, has been made to the judge of the district Quite a quantity of stock in the States ville Air Line Railroad, proposed to be run from Statesville to Mount Airy, has been subscribed for since the opening of the books. The Atlanta & Charlotte Air Line Railroad, will probably be asked to aid in this undertaking on the ground of its giving it a through and short connection to the Virginia line. The members of the United States coast survey, who have recently had their headquarters in Statesville for the purpose of ascertaining accurately the latitude and longitude of this town, with reference to certain mountain peaks, have concluded their labors and left for Atlanta. Statesville must be at least five de- f;rees colder on an average than Char otte. There was excellent skating on Davis' pond, near Statesville, four or five days after all the ice had disappear ed from the ponds around Charlotte. I nd ucenienta to Returning Em ig rants . It has already been mentioned that a convention of railroad ticket agents has recently been held in Texas for the pur pose of adopting popular rates by which persons who have moved to that State from the South and Southeast, and be come dissatisfied, may return to their old homes at small cost Maj. W. J. Houston, general ticket agent of the Atlanta and Charlotte Air-Line Rail road, was one of the members of this convention, and of its proceedings he spoke the other day to a reporter of the Atlanta Post, as follows : Rep. Yon have failed then to accom plish the object of' your visit ? Maj. H.Notr at 11. I have perfected an arrangement for the transportation of immigrants who are to beconie ac tual settlers in the Southeast at rates less than the average rates given to Texas heretofore. Rep. Is there any certainty about this and when will it go into effect? Maj. H. It is a certainty as all the railroads and steamboat lines between two important points in Texas have given full authority to carry the same into lull effect, and it only requires time to arrange the preliminaries. Rep. Do you expect luany to avail themselves of this arrangement? Maj. II. The saason will be rather too far advanced to do much until the coming crop is made. After that I ex- Eect them to come in large numbers, owever, during this winter and next spring, they will come in small detach ments. Rep. Has such an arrangement ever been made before ? Maj. H. No, sir. This is the first time. ItlARUIED. In this city, by Rer. Tlieo. Whitfield, D. D.. on the 14th Inst, Mr. Wm. McKamey and Miss Fanny Lockhart TELEGRAPHIC MARKtT REPORTS .
