Fell from a Scaffold.
Yesterday morning Messrs. James

McKee, were covering a barn on the
premises of the former, about three
miles frbnVtlje city, when the scaffold
on which they were standing gave way
and Mr. James Pharr and ,Mx. MeKee
fell to the ground. They had a drop of
filteen feet and both were painfully in
jured. Dr. McCombs, who was at once
sent for, found that neither of them
had sustained the breaking of any
bones, but that both had received in
juries to the back which may lay them
up for some time. Mr. McKee's injuries
are more painful than those of Mr.
Pharr.
A Farmer Loses IIi Itlouey.
Day before yesterday
M. "NY. Purr, a farmer
afternoon Mr.
from Cabarrus
county, came to this city and sold a bale
of cotton. Late in the afternoon, after
having become intoxicated, he drove to
the old Charlotte academy grove, in the
"Mechanicsville" section of the city,
where he camped for the night. He put
under his head his coat, in one pocket
of which was $50 of the proceeds of the
sale of the bale cotton, and went to
sleep in his wagon for the night.
When he awoke yesterday morning the
coat was lying a considerable distance
from him and all of the money was miss
ing. It had been stolen from under
his head while he slept. The facts were
reported to the police but there is no
clue.
Hathyhead.
Bushyhead, the chief of the Chero
kee Indians, was in the city yesterday.
II is on the way to Raleigh and thence
to'Washington to look after some claims
due hia tribe from the government. The
chief is nowquite an old man, probably
srjty jor seventy and , walks with ji halt
inHis gait, caused by a wound which he
received in the late war at the head of
his regiment which did some first-rate
service. He dresses plainly, but wears
a silk hat of the style which prevailed
seven or eight years ago. The old man
is really Rev. Bushyhead, being a Bap
tist preacher. He talks tolerable Eng
lish and is extremely dignified and se
date in his manners. His tribe, which,
we believe, numbers about fifteen hun
dred souls, has gotten through the win
ter without much suffering, although
they have endured a great deal of cold
and trying weather and have had sev
eral deep snows. The old man will con
tinue his journey to-day.
mail Matters.
Owing to a misconnection at Rich
mond no northern mail was received in
this city yesterday at noon.
Mr. L. M. Terrill, division superin
tendent of the Southern railway mail
service, with headquarters in Atlanta,
was in the city yesterday on a tour of
general inspection of the offices, mail
cars, &c.
The monthly case examination of
mail agents in this division will be re
sumed Sunday. A clerk from the super
intendent's office will be in the city at
that time to examine the agents who
run into this city. 1
The postal law permits letters having
a three-cent stamp (one full postage) to
be transmitted to the place of destina
tion. In the case of books, newspapers
and any mail matter other than letters,
unless tne iuu amount; oi postage is
prepaid the package is retained in the

The Pethel ITIurder Caw,

poisoning, commences in the superior
Court this morning. Hon. R. P. Arm-

M. Shi dp. of this city, and Messrs. J. W
Mauney and J. M. Gray, of Salisbury,
will appear ror tne aeience, reacnea tne
city yesterday afternoon ; Messrs. Maun
ey and Gray are also present and Hon.
Chas. Price, of Salisbury, who assists
Solicitor Montgomery in the prosecu
tion, arrived yesterday morning. Lne
names of the gentlemen above are an
all-sufficient assurance that the case
will be conducted with great ability,
and that every inch of the ground will
be hotly contested. The trial will
doubtless attract a large crowd to the
court house during its continuance. A
number oi tne witnesses nave nmveu
in the city and so far as is known both
sides are in readiness.

Xbe Latest and Least.
The latest case of theft reported oc
curred Monday night,and the booty was
so small as to render it by odds the most
contemptible of the season. The mould
was stolen from a plow-stock on the
farm of John Schenck, near the Rudi-
sill Hill mine, the clevis pin taken with
it, and the plow-stock thrown into an
old shaft in the neighborhood. The
stolen property was worth perhaps 50
cents, and it is for such paltry sums
that men will run the risk of the peni
tentiary. 1 ' '

August ATflhemJ at the
Opera Hotue
LastNigrht.
Wilhelm j. the great violinist did not
arrive in the eity until 7 o'clock last
evening, and consequently It was twen
ty minutes to nine when the curtain
arose on a small audience, but one
which, to use a much abused phrase,
was decidedly appreciative, being com
posed largely of musicians. The even
ing's entertainment was fhort, and the
usual programme must have been con
siderably curtailed. Of the wonderful
Eerformer himself, there is nothing to
e said in the way of criticism. He
has reached that degree of perfection
in his art which defies it, even at the
hands of those skilled in the art of
which he seems in a measure, to, be the
embodiment There Is a .softness and
purity in bis tones which few supposed
the violin capable of, while his playing
from begining to end is full of expres
sion. We have rarefy, if ever, seen an
audience in Charlotte wrought up to
a higher pitch of enthusiasm. At the
end of each piece he was called back,
but did not respond to any of the en
cores. The piano renditions of Mme. Carre
no were also much enjoyed, and were
encores in every instance. She seems
to be chiefly remarkable for her wort
derful technique, which could not have
been attainedlmt by the most arduous
and incessant labor.
It is a matter of general regret that
the two did not have the inspiration of
a larger audience.
A Legitimate Triumph in Medicine.
Dread and despair fall upon the community
when a terrible epidemic, like the cholera or yel
low fever, suddenly desolates our homes: yet, itfl
the while, a more insidious, but no less fatal foe,
enters thousands of households every year and
carries oft the flower of the family in the early flush
of manly youth and budding womanhood. People
call it consumption, or "decline." it is not, in
most cases, the tubercular phthisis or consumption
of the lungs, which is the peculiar malady in cli
mates luce those of the British Islands and New
England, but a general decay or arrest of the vital
processes of nutrition. All the doctors agree that
there is no remedy for this but Cod Liver Oil but
they are constantly met by the obstacle or Inability
on the part of the patient to swallow or retain it
This repulsion is entirely overcome by Scott's
Emulsion of the Oil with the HypophOBphites ef
Lime and Soda which is agreeable to the tastend
an unequalled nutrient and tondeforthebody nerve
