Jiliml Tom lotte. went South from CJiar- The reading club had a very pleasant meeting at the residence of Maj. AV. AV. Flemming last evening. The like of deeds and mortgages which are crowding into the office of the register of deeds w as never known be fore. The walls of the large brick store I eing erected on College street, by Dr. K. Nye Hutchison, are rapidly approach ing completion. Mrs. Moon will hold meetings in Calvary Mission church twice a day during the remainder of the week in the morning, beginning at 10 o'clock, iiud in the evening at 7. Mr. McElwee and his attorneys are in the city preparing additional testimo ny in his case against Blackwell. This rumes up again at an early day before the commissioner of patents at AVash ington. The subject of sidewalk improve ments was again before the- board of aldermen yesterday, but no action was taken, as the matter could not be fully discussed at that meeting. A daily mail has recently been estab lished5 from Chester to Lancaster. All letters addressed to the latter place should therefore be in the postoffice in time for the mail which leaves the city at 1 o'clock p. in. Owing to various unavoidable causes, the amateur dramatic entertainment which it had been proposed to have at the opera house next Monday night for the benefit of the Lee monument, has been indefinitely postponed. A denizen of "Five Points" hired him self to Mr. K. B. Hunter, of Sharon town ship and remained long enough to learn enough about the place to enable him to rol) the premises of a quantity of meat and Hour. He is spotted. The other cocking main spoken of, 1 tween Holt & Co. and Walker & ')., has not yet been arranged. Mr. Holt has returned to his home in Ala mance county, and will telegraph an answer to the proposition made by the other side as soon as he can gather up his cocks from their walks and make ah examination of their condition. There is in the town of Charlotte one ubiquitous fellow, whose sole employ ment consists in beguiling unsuspect ing citizens into purchasing soap and sundry articles of a like character, of fering as inducements to such purcha sers certain small whistles, which, in the mouths of youth, tend greatly to dis t ni b the peace and quiet of the town. ; Miss Anne Vogel offers to take a few music scholars. During the period of her sojourn in Richmond, under the tu telage of Prof, lieinhardt, Miss Vogel acquired a high reputation in that city I'oth as a pianist and vocalist, and was frequently the recipient of handsome compliments from the very critical press f Virginia's capital. 1 A Conjunction. On the evening of the 23rd inst, Jupj ter, Venu i and the moon will be in con junction. New moon occurs on the 22il, the three planets will be quite low in t lie west, and must be looked for as on as the sun sets. The spectacle will he one of great splendor, and to those possessing telescopes will be intensely interestiug. . - J'hieverjr in Sialeavlll. The thieves are driving their business very actively in Statesville of late, j A theft upon the postoffice was reported a few days ago. Last Sunday night Mc Khvee's tobacco factory was broken in "v" and robbed of three boxes of tobacco.

' Called meeting of the Board of AI ;'. . -'-.V dernaen. t The board met in called session yes terday afternoon at the mayor's office. Present, Mayor Smith, Aldermen Ta tem, Sanders, Wilson, Nisbet, Scott, AVeddington, Butler, AValker and Dowd. Col. H. C. Jones appeared before the board as the representative of a commit tee composed of himself, Maj. C. Dowd, 11, M. Miller, AV. J. Yates and Mayor Smith from a citizens' meeting, to ask an appropriation for printing, for purposes of general distribution, the proceedings of the late Northern mens' convention held in this city. He showed in re marks of some length the material ad vantages to the country which were liktelyto result from this meeting, by the emphatic disapproval of stories which tend to keep an intelligent class of Northern people from settling in this and other Southern States. His argu ment was that whatever improvement in the condition of this section or any section of North Carolina might result from the information which they might, by this means, be able to dis seminate, Charlotte would reap a full share of this benefit. His committee asked that the sum of $100 be contribu ted by the city ; they hoped and expected to be able to secure the remaining funds necessary for thier purpose from the railroad " companies and from private sources. They were confident that the railroads would pay a considerable pro portion. He had no doubt as to the right of the board to appropriate the sum asked. Alderman Dowd and others made a few remarks in, advocacy of the appro priation, and on motion of Alderman Sanders the sum was granted. , The Pioneer fire company wras al lowed $55 to settle old debts of the company, contracted prior to the time the last annual appropriation for the .fired epartment was made, i It was also ordered that the fire com mittee be directed to purchase 500 feet of hose for the Neptune fire company. - The sum of 825 was also allowed the Hornet fire company, to pay Qld debts. The clerk read a petition from the re tail liquor dealers, asking that their li cense tax be reduced from $125 to $100, giving as a reason that their business was dull and that there had been a re duction in all similar taxes. Alderman Scottnoved that the mat ter be referred to the committee on finance, to report at a called meeting to be held between the present date and the first of February. Amended by Alderman AValker that the same committee be required to as certain if the dealers in drugs and med icines in the city are not also liable to a tax on retail liquors. The motion as amended was carried. The city marshal asked for informa tion concerning the approval of the bonds for retail liquor dealers. On motion, it was ordered that the mayor be empowered to approve such bonds. Alderman Sanders made a request that the opera house be exempt from city taxation for the coming year, stating that it was the understanding when it was built that it should not-be taxed for fifteen years. A committee consisting of Aldermen Nisbet, AVilson and AValker was ap pointed to examine the records and re port on the subject at the next regular meeting. Alderman Dowd stated that his at tention had been called to the fact that certain of the city bonds were past due, and, on his motion, the finance committee were instructed to report at the next meeting what bonds would fall due during the present year. A petition of Mr. S. AV. Davis in ref erence to claims due him for property condemed for the city's use, was re ferred to the street committee, to re port at the next meeting. The city marshal asked for instruc tions from the board as to the collec tion of taxes, saying that he would soon be required to give account of the taxes placed in his hands for collection, and the list of delinquents was larger than it was last year. He wished to know what he was must do. Several members of the board stated as their opinion that the marshal should froceed at once to collect the taxes by aw; that there was nothing else for him to do ; the city was in need of funds could not pay its debts without the taxes due. Alderman Dowd stated that he had understood that he was asked for his opinion as to whether or not the laws of the city prohibited the location of engines within the fire limits, reference being made to the petition of Mr. Ahrens to move his shops to Fifth street. He was of the opinion that the board, having once fixed the fire limits bo ordinance, could not allow such en gine to be operated within such limits, unless the ordinance referred to was repealed. The granting of the petition being contingent upon the opinion of the at torney for the board, it was announced that the request of Mr. Ahrens was re fused. The remainder of the session was taken up with the discussion of the question of improving the sidewalks. Action on the subject was postponed. South Carolina Students at Daridnou .College. Prof. Latimer, of Davidson College publishes the following letter in Mon day's issue of the Charleston News and Courier: "In the letter of Mr. Stuart on 'Higher Education,' .published in the News and Courier yesterday, I notice the statement that there were seventeen South Carolinians among the students of Davidson College during the session of 1877-78. This statement is correct, but I wish to mention the fact that the number is more than doubled the present session. There are now thirty-six students from South Carolina on our roll. There is no rea son to suppose that the number of stu dents at other institutions outside of the State is much larger than last year, and unless there be a large increase, it will be seen that Davidson College draws more students from your State than any of these institutions." Davidson College always draws large ly of her patronage from South Caro lina. In past years the proportion of South Carolinians at this institution has several times been almost, if not not entirely as large as it is this year. Charlotte's Latest Nonsense. 1 This is from the Petersburg Index- '- "Some kinds of foolishness appear to flourish best in the South, and others best in the North. , For instance, for the past several days a great chicken tour nament has been raging at Charlotte, N. C between fowls representing the chivalry of North Carolina and that of South Carolina, and intense interest is excited in the sporting comniunity, bv the progress of the war. At the latent report North Carolina was in the lead, on which victory we congratulate our neighbor, though we cannot say much of the dignity of the arena in which these last laurels were won. That is one ki;ul oi nonsense for which the peo Sle in some parts of this section appear entertain great favor, though it is a notable circumstance that we reaft of chicken flights more frequently in conr nection with th js same city of Charlotte than anywhere else in the range of our observation." -' -This is probably because you have read The Observer more closely thai) other papers, and being preeminently a neww-papery it never fails; to, give full accounts pX local occurrences, whether it approves of their character or not. Another Itailroad Tragedy j Evenincr before last Mr. .T. M TT&Tfc-Av the postmaster at Stout's on th Caro mail train on which he was a passenger, about pne mile this side of Monroe and must have been instantly killed. The train came on to Charlotte, without the passenger having been missed, and later in the night the mangled body was found by a person who was walking along the railroad track. The wheels of the car had passed directly across the breast of the unfortunate man, arid the body was mashed, of course, out ..of iall shape. . l !:,:- . Probably a Case of Drowning. A drowned horse, with saddle and. Dnaie, was iouna loagea, one aay tne latter part of last week, on the dam of the AY oodlawn Mills, on the Catawba river in Gaston county. ' Nothing hav ing been heard of any one having suf fered a loss of this kind, the supposition in the neighborhood is that a stranger went into the river at Spencer's ford when the stream was swollen, and that horse and rider were drowned together. This is only a supposition but it bears color of probability. Drunk and Drowned. Some nights ago a negro man named Tom McMahon, living on ; Crowder's creek, in the southern part of Gaston county, went home quite drunk, and afterwards started out to return to a bar-room in the neighborhood for the purpose of getting more liquor. He did not return home that night and the next morning it was found that he had fallen into a water-way between his home and the bar-room andbeen drown ed. There was a heavy gash in the top of his head, produced, it was supposed, by his falling against a rock. Officei K. of 19.

The Late Convention Mr. Dumont, president of the late convention of Northern settlers, and author of the call for the same, reports that since the adjournment of the con vention, he has received a number of congratulatory latters on the success of the scheme. Some of these letters have come from as far off as Mississippi, and they are all of a highly encouraging character. He feels greatly elated over the whole thing, and asks The Obser ver and other Southern papers to give publicity to the call by the convention for the county conventions to be held on the 15th of February, for State con ventions to be held some time during the month of March, and for the gener al convention to be held in Charlotte on the 4th of July. A New Hymn and Xune Book. AVe are indebted to the publishers, Messrs. Scribner & Co., New York, for a copy of a book entitled "Spiritual Songs." which has just been issued from their presses. It is a compilation of songs of the character indicated, with music for the church and choir, selected and arranged by Rev. Chas. S. Robinson, D. D. The publishers have endeavored to make the very best book possible, and the character of their house is a sufficient guarantee of the character of their book. It has been largely adopted already and been highly commended by many well-known pastors. AVhatever want may have existed in this line we are satisfied is met in this book, which is at least worthy an examination on the part of church trustees and leaders of choirs. Price, in cloth, $1.50; in cloth with flexible covers, $1.50; extra edi tion, in gros grain silk, $2.50. A Celebration of the LouK-Ag:o. AVe are indebted to our townsman, Dr. S. E. Bratton, for the privilege of perusing a pamphlet containing an ac count of a celebration at Brattonsville, York district, S. C, July 12, 1839, in hon or of a victory on that spot achieved during the revolution by the American forces over the British Capt. Hucks. The orator on the occasion of this cele bration was Col. AV. C. Beatty, and his oration is published in full in this pamphlet. The anniversary had been inaugurated and arranged by Dr. John S. Bratton, who had inherited his fath er's (Col. Bratton's) residence and from him also the field of Hucks' defeat. The oration is worthy of perusal even at this late day. It is a model of patriot ism and abounds in figures of rhet oric. Fifteen hundred people were pres ent and after the address toasts were drunk, salutes fired and the day ended with a barbecue prepared gratuitously by Dr. Bratton. 1 i i m i The Smith Sc Forbes Case. It seems that the Smith & Forbes case is becoming more and more complicated every day. It will be remembered that a portion of the goods was levied on and removed by Constable McLure to Maxwell & Harrison's auction 'house: Then came 'along the deputy United States marshal, and under a writ from the United States court, took them back. Yesterday Constable McLure removed them again. It is useless to go into all the technicalities upon which these pro ceedings are carried on. The atttorneys on either side claim that they can sus tain themselves on the grounds they have taken. But still another phase of the case was presented yesterday. Sheriff Alex ander attached the goods, or a portion of those in the store, on claims which it is said amount to something over $20,000. Medical Aid for the Poor. To the Editor of the Observer: In behalf of a large majority of the population of the city of Charlotte, I would respectfully call the attention of the municipal authorities of our city to the absolute necessity of furnishing medical aid and medicines to those or our population who have not the means to procure such relief for themselves or families in case of sickness . from the various diseases so constantly prevail ing among us. Charlotte is supposed to have a popu lation of 8,000 or 10,000, and there aie"at least three-fifths of the families of this population who are not able to furnish the means to procure the necessary medical attendance or medicines abso lutely necessary in sickness. This large proportion of our population are not only as a general rule refused credit by the physicians, but also by the druggists of our city, If two-fifths of the families of Char lotte require the services of eight phy sicians and flye drug stores, should not the other three-fifths of the families, who are without credit or money, be furnished in time of need and distress by the city?
