IIOTIE PEKTCILINUS. The cadet ball, heretofore alluded to, occurs Friday the 14th, St. Valentines day. Uncle Ned Glavin doesn't deny the allegation, but turns his head to one side and smiles. i ' The eyes of many of the young folks are turned towards the inauguration ball at Raleigh to-night. The Hornets' Nest Riflemen appear on parade next Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock for the first time in many weeks. Somebody watch Prof. Baker's weath er work this month He predicted that both yesterday and to-day would be a little cloudy and foggy. There has not been a session in the past half dozen years when Mecklen burg had so few I cases, in the Su preme Court as at the present term.

M .: J i J'f J ll'J I V?' t The Brigntest Stan and Planets Vil-r bleOccnItatins of tbe Bloon i - Every one who has watched the heav'. T ens during January has noticed a grad ual smiting or the stars' - towara the west. Constellations which at the commencement of darkness in the be ginning of the month were at an elevar tion of one-third of the distance from the western horizon to the point over head are no longer seen, while others which at the same period were invisible have come into view in the East This movement of the heavens in a western direction is caused by the revolution of the earth around the sun toward the eastern point of the horizon. The sun, though situated at a distance of rather more than ninety-one millions of miles, is yet comparatively so near that the advance of the earth in its orbit causes the central luminary to appear in dif ferent parts of the heavens, while the stars are at such immense distances that even a change of position equal to double the interval between the earth and the sun makes no perceptible varia tion in their apparent place. Day and night are due to portions of the earth being turned by its diurnal revolution towards or from the sun, and the in creasing or decreasing length of the day 'causes the stars to be seen in a different position when night renders them visible. Of the planets visible without the aid of a telescope Mercury will be too near to the sun to be observed. Venus will continue to be the evening star, setting each night at a later period and increas ing in brightness. Mars will rise about an hour before the sun on the ninth and will be visible a little earlier every morning the remainder of the month. This planet will be in opposition to the sun the second week in November. At such times it is nearest to the earth and shines with the greatest brilliancy. Jupiter will cease to be the evening star after the seventh of the month and on the fifteenth will rise a few, minutes, before the sun and continue to be mowing star until the close of August. Saturn is approaching its conjunction with i;he sun. It will set at the beginning of the month a little after nine o'clock , and may be noticed as a palish star in the southwest. Uranus, which may be ob served by a practiced eye shining with a faint blue light, will rise about sunset the middle of the month. It will be near to the waning moon on the 26th and will be visible the whole night. As this planet makes but one revolution around the sun while the earth makes eighty-four, it appears during seven years to rise and set in the same con stellation. Two occultations of stars by the moon will take place in February one of a star of the fiffh magnitude in Scorpio on the evening of the 10th, and another , of a small star in , Taurus about an hour and a half after sunset on the 28th. The moon will be too near full for the first occultation to be viewed with advantage; the disappear ance of the last may be observed at the dark edge of the planet. The nightly sky during February will be adorned by many of the most beautiful constellations. Stars which have been carefully observed from the days of the shepherd astronomers of Chaldea to the present time will be visible during the whole or the greater part of every night Although a ma jority of the most conspicuous stars are colorless, there are some which present a different aspect. Capella emits an orange, Aldebaran a red, Arcturas a yellow, and Vega a blue light. Sirius, which now appears white, except in certain conditions of the atmosphere, when it has a slightly bluish tinge, was regarded by the ancients as a red star, and is so called by Ptolemy and Seneca. Death of a Centleman Known in Cbarlotte. Mr. "VV. E. Harvey, of Hartford, Conn., the gentleman who as actuary of the Charter Oak Life Insurance company, aid a somewhat extended visit to Char otte last autumn, and after leaving wrote several pleasant letters ' about Charlotte and the South for a Hartford newspaper, died week before last in the city mentioned, after a brief illness. Mr. Harvey, during his sojourn here made a pleasant impression upon bur people, many of whom will be sorry to hear of his death. Could Not Out-Run the Train. When the train on the Charlotte, Co lumbia & Augusta Railroad, which leaves here at 11.30, was near Johnston's, on the down trip from Charlotte, day before yesterday evening, the engineer saw two mules drawing a wagon, with two men seated in it approaching the crossing. There was a considerable clear space between the train and the crossing, so that the men in the wagon must have seen: if they could not have heard the locomotive, but nevertheless they endeavored to cross the track be fore the train could reach it, and failed, as men generally do fail under these circumstances. One of the occupants of the wagon was a white man and the other a negro. The white man, seeing in time what was about to happen, jumped from the wagon and saved himself. The pilot of the engine struck the vehicle about midway. The negro was killed, and the wagon shattered in to a thousand fragments. The mules escaped unin j ured. A coroner's inquest was to have been held yesterday, and Conductor Sprinkle and the enginee were detained on the up trip; , yesterday as witnesses. 1,. . ; Dramatic Notes. Mrs. Chanfrau who appears in Char lotte on the lith and 12th instants, is playing, among others, "Was She Right" and "A' Woman of the People," She will doubtless give tis these twerwben she comes. Bangs is also wery successful as "Virginius," in the beautiful play by Rev. J.. Sheridan , Knowles, entitled "Virginius, or The Death of Virginia." He has occasionally appeared in this role on his present trip, through the South. i Some critics assert that Keene, who takes the character of "Caius Cassius," in Julius Caesar, is scarcely inferior tq JBanga , aa ".Marc Antony.! ,In fact the whole support is said to oe excenenx. : Miss Kate Claxton whose pretty face smiles from- so manv- show- windows will play "A Double Marriage" in pur opera house next Saturday night. v Miss tGensvieva Rogers, -who is now traveling in the SOuth was, it is said,' born ApriTP,1 1859: " She is jtheref ore only twenty-years of age. - -:-&.- Mining Interest Looking IT.

Another Newspaper man. We learn with pleasure that Col. W. S. Pearson, of Morganton, has become connected with the Raleigh News. Mr. Pearson has fine talents, is a graduate of Chapel Hill and peculiarly gifted as a writer and speaker. He and the present editor, Mr. Hussey, will consti tute a strong staff. The latter has gone to Washington to resume his duties as assistant librarian. He will remain there till the 4th of March, when he will return to his work on the News. Sale of a Cotton Factory. The large and elegant cotton factory, at Lowell, Gaston county, which was completed and put in operation less than a year ago by Messrs. C. J. Line berger & Son, has been sold, in part, by these gentlemen to Messrs. R.N". Tor rence, Robt. Wilson, Lewis Lineberger and Geo. Gray. Messrs. C. J. Lineber ger & Son still retain an interest in the factory. The property was sold, for $41,000.- Mr. Torrence, one of the own ers, has been elected superintendent by the new firm. - County Coniniittsioners County Map. The county commissioners were in session 7esterday, but very little busi ness of a public character was transac ted. Tbe committee to whom, were re ferred the matter of conferring with Mr. A. Shorter Caldwell in reference to carrying out the contract of Rev. Sam'L Pearce for making a map of the coun ty, reported that they had been unable to make any satisfactory arrangement with Mr. Caldwell, and the committee were accordingly discharged. The board meets again to-day. Drutal Outrage in Richmond Countf, Information reaches this city that in Richmond county, not far from Laurin burg, Monday, a mulatto man, whose name has not been learned, waylaid an unmarried white , woman, a sMiss Be thune, and catching her in the woods or on the public road, overpowered and lashed her to a tree, where, having her secure and closing her mouth he com mitted upon her person a horrible out rage. The scoundrel then fled, and up to last accounts had not been captured, though officers are upon his track. It is supposed that the ravisher left his victim tied to the tree; at any , rate, be fore the discovery of the outrage was made the negro had gotten out of the neighorhood. Miss Bethune is represented as a young woman of good character and respectable parentage, and the hideous event naturally excited much indigna tion in the community. In addition to the other steps which are being taken against the ravisher, a reward has been offered for his arrest. February r Was one of the two months (January being the other) introduced jnto the Roman calendar by Numa Pompilius, when he extended the year to twelve of these periods. Its name arose from the practice of religious expiration and purification which took place among the Romans at the beginning of this month (Februare, to expiate, to purify). It has been on the whole an ill-used month, jerhaps in consequence of its noted want of what is pleasant and agreeable to the human senses. Numa let fall upon it the doom which was un avoidable for some one of the months, having, three out of four times, a day less than even those which were to con sist of thirty days. That is to say, he arranged that it should have only twenty-nine days, excepting in leap years; whenby the intercalation of a day between the 23d and 24th, it was to have.thirty.' No great occasion1 here for complaint. . But when Augustus chose to add a thirty-first day to August, that the month named from him might not lack in the dignity enjoyed by six othej months Of the year, he took it from February, which could least spare it, thus reducing it to twenty-eight in all ordinary years. In the parliamen tary arrangement for the. information of the calendar, it being necessary to drop a day out of each century except ing those of which the ordinal number could be divided by four, it again fell to the lot of February to be the suf ferer. Railroad Notes. The report in circulation Monday, about a narrow escape from a collision on the Air-Line Saturday, was greatly exaggerated. The operator at King's Mountain reported to No. 2 that No. 1 had passed there behind time, , when such was not the case. The consequence was that when No. 2 arrived at the meeting point instead of having to wait, as was expected, No. 1- was standing there and both trains passed on time. There was nothing approaching a colli sion. The Supreme Court of the United States has.decided the tax case against the Air-Line railroad,, and it is held liable for taxation upon that part of tits property lying'iri South Carolina. It is hard for the Charlotte, Columbia and Augtista railroad to satisfy the magnificentSouth Carolinians andGeor-1 gians in.the matter of mail. ' When the; mail was on the day train Columbia and AugUsta quarreled, and when it is on the night train Charleston quarrels. It Lis Charleston's time - bow.
