It was the equinoctial storm and not a uau specimen or one tnat we naa yes terday afternoon. It is getting so that a man daren't light a match in Charlotte for fear somebody will raise the; alarm of fire. Xew moon vesterdav afternoon at :i.."0 o'clock ; this is the fourth Sunday in Lent, and the length of to-day is 12 h. -cm. i Almanac items. J The street commissioner has recently removed a number of the stepping stones across the main streets, in the hope that by next winter there places can be suunlied bv substantial rocs crossings. -Scribner's Monthly says the new opera "II. M. S. Pinafore," is admirably suited to amateurs, there beine only seven parts, and one scene, and the costumes heinor modern. Let the Gounod club undertake it. Merchants have beeii notified to cease 'he custom of sweeiinsr paper from -their front doors into the street, com plaint havinar been made that horses were frequently frightened by pieces of paper blowing about their ieec. Our Columbia correspondent says an invitation has been fsent to the Hor nets' Nest Reflemen to come to Colum bia on the 10th of Mav. They will be very likely to accept, but it is a pity that this will necessitate their absence from Charlotte on Memorial Day. During the hard rain yesterday after noon, a prudent citizen very wisely burnt out his chimney, but the appear ance of the flames caused an alarm of lit e and many of the firemen ran three or four blocks to find that;hey had got ten wet for nothing. ; The first gun in the 'municipal cam frtini is fired this morning. "Citizen' comes to the front ajid nominates May or Smith for a second term. The hring will soon become general all along the lines and "Many Citizens" will lave their (his V) little say, as usual. A large real estate owner, who rents many houses to negroes, says he hopes there will be many candidates out for mayor, and that the. campaign will be a hot one. Many of his tenants, he says, are badly behind'in their rents. See the point? ) Forct Fire. A forest fire broke out in Mallard Creek township, in the vicinity of the residence of Mr. Elam Robinson, two days ago, and created a good deal of ex citement. It spread very rapidly and it was with difficulty that a quantity of fencing could be saved. It burnt over several hundred acres of land and des troyed about a hundred cords of wood, which belonged to Mr. Robinson.. ; A New Paper by a Former Resident of Charlotte. . Mrs. M. E. Iritton, formerly of this city, has justed issued the first copy of her paper, The Home Circle, in Chari ton. It was announced to appear some mup nut nas ueen delayed by the accidents incident to the beginning of all journalistic enterprises. The News d- Courier says of the paper on its first appearance: "The first number never aftords a just criterion of the probable merit of a publication of this nature, -t he get up is good, and the paper is clean and tree from typographical er rors. It is intended especially as a medium for the development of local literary talent, and as there isplentv of material to be developed, success in that direction would be a public bene- Tlc CliurrlieH and the Preacher. Hev. Theo. Whitfield, of this city, has been selected to preach the annual ser mon before the pupils of Denver Semi nary this summer. JNliss Painter, the Quakeress preacher, has been laboring in the Methodist church of Salisbury. The church has been crowded to its utmost capacity every night. Numbers of the atten dants are from the country, attracted by the novelty of a lady preacher. The General Assembly of the Presby terian Church, meets in Louisville, May 29th; Fayetteville Presbytery meets at St. Andrew's church, Moore county, April 24th, at noon; Wilming ton Presbytery in Second church, Wil mington, April 2d, p. m.; Concord Pres bytery, Bethel church, April 23, at noon; Orange Presbytery, Eno church, same date. The Abduction Case, Tom Jackson, who was arrested night before last at the Air-Line depot, charged with an attempt to abduct from her home Mrs. Millev.had a hear ing before Justice Davidson yesterday morning. It seems that Jackson and his wife have been boarding at the house of Mrs. Milley since they came here. Jackson testified, and there was no evidence to rebut that when they announced their determination to leave Mrs. Milley, like Ruth, said that wher ever the Jacksons went, there she would go also. Her husband is not in the city; in fact, left to avoid paying a fine to the mayor's court, and there was no one to detajn her. She expected to pay her own fare, and had bought her ticket with her own money. Very little could be made out of the case, and Jackson was dismissed with the cost and a small fine, amounting to about S(5 in all, a part of which Mrs. Millev paid. lCevenue Facts,. There are 187 government distilleries in this (the sixth) collection district more than in any other district in the United States, with one exception, and that in Kentucky. There is very little activity in whis key tiow. While large quantities are being made but little is being hauled here and little North Carolina whiskey is being shipped through here in any direction. A revenue man has a sus picion that a wagon load came in a few nights ago and was "shucked" (that is to say the barrel heads taken out and the barrels destroyed) but, then, he don't know. The tobacco manufacturers are rest ing mpon their oars. They hardly know whether to make mole or sell out what they have. This embarrass ment is caused by their not knowing whether the stocks on hand on the 1st of May will fall under the reduction which will be made in the tax on and after that date, or whether it will be only the tobacco manufactured after that date winch will get the benefit of the reduced tax. Theatrical People. Blind Tom is the only negro pianist on the stage. Miss Louise Pomeroy so pleased the people ot Jackson, Miss., by her acting that they immediately subscribed $100 to induce her to play another night. Poor Jvate Claxton is in trouble again. In Louisville last AVednesday night some one stole her satchel containing four hundred dollars worth ot jewelry It is said that Mr. Jno. T. Kay mond has surprised and delighted everybody by his acting ot the old shoemaker, in the drama of My Son. His make-up in the last act was wonderfully fine, and his pathos was very tender, truthful and beautiful. The Holmans seem to be meeting with fair success with the opera II. M. S. Pinafore. It is a noticeable tact that the opera generally disappoints many audiences on its first presentation, but rarely tails in the end to become very popular. Is this because expectations have been raised too high? Andrew Jackson, the "bone man ot the Georgia Minstrels, has been arrested in Oswego tor stealing a goiti watcn from a young man of Pittston, Pa. It appears trom ins statement tnat tue watch was stolen by another person and he was used as a cat's paw in disposing of it at a pawn-shop. j Maurice Uarrymore who was recently shot in Marshal, Texas, by a ruffian is, we believe, the same who played Or lando with Fanny Davenport in "As You Like It," when she was in Char lotte over a year ago. Remember him ? A handsome tellow ana a nrst-rate ac tor. "He has been playing in Diplomacy this year. Among the Farmers. There were a good many farmers m the city yesterday and they all speak encouragingly ot tne preparation ror com and cotton crops. Only a few have as yet begun to plant corn, but it is be lieved that more will be planted in Mecklenburg this year than tor severai years past. . jNOinmgso improves tue agiiuiuio of a neighborhood as to have theim provment fever break out there in spots. It is sure to spread, and the chaps who take it quickest will have it easiest ana feel the best after it is over. It has broken out in several parts ot MecK lenburg. . . A farmer gives tne ionowing us m easy method of measuring corn in the ear: Multiply the length by the breadth and this product by the depth of the corn in the pen. Multiply this again by 4U, and point off one decimal place. This result wull be the answer in bush oia For instance: we have a pen of nnm 48 fftet lone-. 16 feet wide and 814 feet high. Multiplying these three di mensions together, we nave 3,000 cuuic feet. Now multiplying this by 4. we have. 13.770. Pointing off the one deci mal, we have as the contents of the pen 1.377. Yesterday a farmer brought a wagon load of wood to the city to sell. His wife pfrsii him to bring in a small bucket of butter and several dozens of ortrs ;VT1( 1 when he counted up the pro ceeds of her dairy and coop, he had near ly doubled the price of the wood. The cow and the hen are immense factors in our productive wealth. It will astonish some people to know that the value of the annual product of butter and cheese in hte United States is $50,000,000 greater than that of the wheat crop, yet such is the fact, the former being $350,000,000, and the latter about $300,-000,000. Death from JLoek-Jaw. A colored man named Rankin, whose home was in the southern section of the city, stuck a pitchfork into one of his toes, last Wednesday week. Lock jaw ensued and he died day before yes terday, lt nas been a long while since there has been a case of lock-jaw in Charlotte. A physician, who has at different times seen fifteen cases of it, has never known but one to recover, and that was the case of a colored woman. It is said that owing to some constitu tional peculiarity negroes are much more susceptible to it than whites. A Nniance to be Abated. Notice was yesterday served upon some of the fertilizer agents that they must remove their fertilizers beyond the city limits between the present time and next Saturday, and it is fair to presume that all the others will be likewise instructed. Certainly it is to be hoped so. The citizens have already borne this infliction too long. These orders had much better been issued a month ago, but it is much better that it should be done even at this late day tnan not at all. Perkonal. Judge Kerr's condition was not ma terially changed yesterday. we regret to state that Mrs. YY. II. II. Gregory is still very ill. Columbia lieaister: Col. nl. John son, of Charlotte, favored us with a visit yesterday. We were as much pleased to see ins cheertul lace as we were in the morning, when, on opening our ex changes, we saw a production from his pen, giving' cheering statistics as to the future prospects of the country. We were so much impressed with the arti cle that we give it entire in another column. Mr. Johnson returned to Charlotte last niarht. Fight Between Editors. In the last several issues of the two Statesville papers, the Landmark and the American, the editors have been quarrelling at quite a lively rate. The controversy if controversy it can be called originated about the respective circulation of the two papers. It grew more bitter and more personal with each issue of the two DaDers. and finally culminated night before last in a fight between Mr. Ramsay, of the Land mark, and Mr. W. P. Drake, son of the editor of the American. The affray, so far as we have been able to learn, was not a very serious one. no deadly wea pons being used. The affair has created a considerable sensation in Statesville. Mr. Ramsay is a nephew of Mr. E. B. Drake, and consequently a first cousin of Mr. W. P. Drake with whom lie had the fight. "I he ticutle Spring:." The days and nights are now eoual. From this till June 21st the days will lengthen, and from that time thev will shorten till September 20th, the autum nal equinox, when days and nights will again be of the same length. Hyacinths and jonquils have long been blooming in the air, and gardeners are setting out the potted plants. Window gardening, the growth of recent years, is extending, and many house fronts in all parts of the city show hyacinths and other blooming plants. In two weeks time many trees M ill have put out the deli cate tints of early spring. From this time forth every day will mark the ad vance of the season, and by Easter, April i:!th, Mowers and foilage, as well as spring fashions and styles, will be out in full feather. On the Railroads. The work of cutting down the force of mail agents in this division has com menced. The head of Mr. J. M. Tur rentine, from Charlotte to Danville, is first to fall. This reduction of fehe force is the result of a reduction of the appropriation, and it is to be general. And now they have begun to talk about the "Charlotte and Taylorsville Railroad,"' which is to run by" Moores ville and Concord to Wadesboro. A cor respondent is very anxious for it to run by Coddle Creek church. As the train on the North Carolina Railroad was leaving a small station a day or two since, one of the brake men, who was standing on the platform in sight of a lot of girls hanging on the palings, thought he would play smart and attempted to "skin-the-cat." He skinned but landed on the ground and the train left him for the girls to laugh at. We copy this from the Wilmington Re vieio with pleasure, as showing a meas ure of justice to a class of men who are by no means properly appreciated : "We have often thought, as we have been comfortably seated in the cars of a rail road train while being whirled along at the rate of twenty-five or thirty miles an hour, of that grimy, smoky looking man who was in the cab of the engine with his eyes continually upon the track ahead of him and his hand on the throttle, ready for any emergency, that his fearfully responsible duties were not appreciated. We often speak of the 'gentlemanly conductor,' and very properly, too, "for his duties are delicate, onerous and responsible ; but not more so than those of the engineer. The latter may be in a measure forgot ten by the traveling public, but their services and duties are as a general thing appreciated by prominent rail road officials, who, of all others, know the responsibility which rests upon them." The Amended ltevenue I..JVW. Congress at its late session made some alterations in the revenue law, and those interested in the sale and manufacture of articles taxed by the United States would do well to make a note ot them. Every rectifier, on commencing busi ness, and on the first day of May every year, is required to give bond, approved bv the collector, for the faithful com pliance with the law and payment of all taxes and penalties,; the amount of said bond, in the case of rectifiers who recti fy by redistilling or leaching, to he not less than "double the amount of tax im posed by law on the spirits that can be rectified by such rectifier during a pe riod or ten days, and in tne case or. other rectifiers, for amounts to be de termined by regulations to be prescribed by the commissioner, not less than $500 nor more than $50,000. Distilled spirits, wines, and malt li quors imported, in pipes, hogsheads tierces, barrels, casks or other similar packages, are to be inspected, and a stamp affixed thereto, indicating date and particulars of such inspection ; and whenever any package of imported dis tilled spirits, of not less than five wine gallons, is filled on the premises of a wholesale liquor dealer is to be stamped with a stamp for imported spirits. Every person heretofore required to keep a liquor book (showing receipts and deliveries) tor the inspection of revenue officers, is now - required to make a monthly abstract therefrom to be delivered to the collector under oath. ' The commissioner of internal reve nue is authorized to exempt distilleries of a daily capacity not exceeding thirty gallons from some of the provisions of existing laws in regard to grain distil leries; In case of the seizure of a still, doub ler or other distilling apparatus of less than 150 gallons daily capacity, and of less than $o00 value, the seizing orncer, with certain restrictions, is authorized to destroy the same if it be impractica ble to remove it to a place of safety, and a marshal or deputy marshal is au thorized to arrest any person found in the act of operating an illicit distillery and to take him before a judicial officer to be dealt with according to law. ( The act takes effect from the date of its approval, March 1, 1879, but the re duction of the rate of tax on tobacco and snuff does not take . place till the first day of May. " DIKD.

Since the establishment of the Pacific line of steamers, the trade between the United States and Austrlalia has increased wonderfully, and Hall's Balsam, for coughs, colds and all lung diseases, is now a regular article of export to that country, and one of their staple medicines. marl9 lw A Kenedy that has keea Beaetletf. The invincible repugnance felt by almost every one to the smell and flavor of Cod Liver Oil, has prevented tens of thousands of the victims of de bility, from reaping the benflts of peculiar healing and nutritive properties. The almost hopeless consumptive, the martyr to rheumatism, the bare ly living shadow of men, women and children that emerge from the clutches of malarial fevers, all of these know, or at least their doctors know, that of all discovered remedies, this oil is the best, and of ten the only one that will build up their wasted bodies, and restore their shattered nerves, and far more effective than the oil by Itself Is Scott's Emul sion of it, with the Hypophosphltes of Lime and Soda.
