Cotton is up, but the supply on the Charlotte market is so small just now that no one feels the advantage of the , high price to an appreciable extent. The prospects for a large fruit crop in Mecklenburg this year are said to be excellent, but there's no telling what an April frost might do. An official notification of the munici pal election the'flrst of May, together with a list of the judges and supervi sors of the same,. is published this morn ing. MM Judge Kerr did not leave yesterday as he anticipated. He is no worse than he has been, but his physicians advised him to remain till to-morrow or next day. The Gounod musical elul had quite a large and pleasant meeting at the resi dence of Cot. J. L. Morehead last night. It meets tfext week at Mrs. 8. V. Young's. The municipal lection promises to assume considerable interest as the time approaches. The ward politicians are now engaged v making up the al dermanic slates. In ieolv to a note from lawvers inter ested, Judge Kerr stated yesterday that tie would not be able to hold Montgom erv court, which should convene next week. A valuable horse, belonging to Mayer & ltoss,died of the colic suddenly in the i p;trof their store, yesterday, while they were trying to make him throw it up by giving mm salt water.

What the 9liue of North Carolina Hare Done. ' Just now when the subject of mining is attracting so much attention m wesc em North Carolina, it will be of inter est to know something of the produc tions of the mines of the State in the past. The Hand Book recently issued hv tiift State's iommisskner-Of agricul ture savs "that the fact is developed by the reoort of the mint director of De cember. 1877. that ud to June 30th of that year, the gold deposited in the as say offices and mints iromTneir organi zation ud to thattime from all the ter ritory east of the Mississippi river was 21, 164,200.49; of whifch North Carolina produced $10,370,492.18," Capture or a FuffiUve from Jartice. Five or six months; ago a man named Hiiam Norton committed a murder in Richmond cotintv and fled the State, and his whereabouts has been from that time until recently concealed. home weeks ago he was captured near Washington, Ga and night before last was broueht to Wadesboro on a requisition from the Governor, and committed to jail.: He went to Wash ington soon after the deed was com mitted and settled on a f anm where he was at work when arrested. A reward of $300 had heen offered for his capture. It is understood that Norton does not deny the killing but maintains that he urn it in seii-ueience. jWr. A. T.

The triai wiu create considerable interest, and may be protracted to some length. 1 There are, we believe, no witnesses from Charlotte. We are instructed to say that a meet ing of the Ladies' Memorial Association will be held to-morrow (Saturday) after noon, at 4 SO o'clock, at the residence of the president, Mrs. Judge Osborne, to take such action as may be necessary looking rto A Iprppe observance of memorial day ; and to say, further, that not only are the actual members of the association expected to attend, but all ladies who feel an interest in the object of the meeting. A full attendance is very much desired, and promptly at the hour designated.! ' ' Biddle University Receives a Gift. The Africo-American Presbyterian states that Biddle University, (colored) near this city has' been presented with the sum of im pounds sterling, which realizes 6,120.67; arid the fund Is to be invested by the trustees of the Univer sity as a permanent fund, the pro- ceeds from the interest to be applied to mc suppun 01 qucn students as may be prosecuting their studies in Biddle niversity preparatory to mission work frica. obacco and Cigarette Factory. Col. Julian Allen, a Northern trpn- tleman, who left Brooklyn about three ears ago and settled on a tarm near Itatesville, has jusUreturned f com a six tronths'rstay in.ew YQrk-n bTuslnss, no while there made arranerfimpnts for starting: a tobacco and piarptt factory in Statesville. Col. Allen is full of energy, and has had a large experi ence m the manufacture of tobacco, particularly in cigarettes, and his enter prise will doubtless redound to the mar trial -.advancement of Ihe. tnwm in wbichjhias made hia Jiome. He is much pleased with his residence in the. South, and recently published a letter in a New York paper, which was re produced in The Observer, substan tially reiterating 4 the sentiments ex pressed in the findings of the Northern settlers' convention held in this citv. It is to men of such intelligence and en terprise tnat the State must look for the benehtstobe derived from immigra tion. Railroad Notes. President Wilson gives notice of a meeting of private stockholders of the Western North Carolina Railroad, to be held at Newton, on the-4th of April. A Washington letter explains the re cent reduction of the force of route agents. It says: "Thirty-one railway postal clerks and route agents have been discharged, and forty-five more will have to go in order to reduce the postal expenditures within the appro priation for the current year. There are now 1,200 miles of railway without route agents, and this will be largely in creased on tne last or April. . Commissioner Polk's Hand-Book of North Carolina says that "notwithstand ing the long dark years of adversity through which we have struggled, much of the 1461 miles of railway now in operation in the State has been built since the war, and projected lines cover the face of our territory as a net work flourishing towns and villages have been built; and half the 54 cotton fac tories in operation have been erected since the war." Another Charlotte Inventor. Mr. W. J. Orr, late with R. M. Miller & Sons, in this qity, has: quite a-turn for invention. He has invented and pat ented a cotton tie, a die for effectually destroying stamps on tobacco boxes and whiskey barrels, and one or two other articles. Hislast invention, how ever, seems destined to become more prominent than any vet patented. It is called " A dust excluding and car ventillating window," and has been seen by the editor of the Rock Hill Herald, who says it " is an ingenious contrivance made of strips or bars of glass, arranged in a manner almost sim ilar to the slats in a window blind, and moving in much the same way. their position, however, being vertical. Light and air are not interfered with, while dust and cinders are excluded. The in vention, if entirely successful in its ap- Slication, and we see no reason to oubt it, will place the traveling world under great obligations to Mr. Orr, for of all the annoyances experienced by the railroad traveller, none can com pare to those which proceed from dust and cinders. "We hope, no less for the comfort of the public than Mr. Orr's gain, that his invention may prove in practice what is claimed for it in the ory. Honors to the Late Nra. Oreg-ory A KemnicQCC. The 'Wilhiington papers of yesterday morning, received nere last evening, state that the Wilmington Light Infan try, of which the late Mrs. W. ii. n. Gregory, of this city, was a regularly enrolled member, met W ednesuay mgnt and made arrangements to have the re mains met at the Wilmington depot yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, when they arrived from Charlotte, by a de tachment ot the company. As is well known, Mrs. Gregory was a native of Wilmington, a daughter or the late K. F. Brown, Esq., of that city, and the story of her adoption by and connection Wltn mis mmiaiy cuiupau wao ucauti fullyoldjby ex-Judge:QaAtweU in an oration which he delivered on the occa sion of the twentyfourth anniversary of the company, May 20th, 1877. Though The Observer printed this extract at the time, it possesses a singular interest just now, and will well bear repetition. Judge cantweil said: .

Lynn is a flu ent talker, but Alexander seemed to sat isfy the darkies that his was the lodge." SOUNDS OF THE COMING FRAY. te More Questions for "Citizen" to Answer "Citizen.-" Didn't you bawl before you got out, of the woods, in Sunday morning's issue of Tub Observer, when you spoke of the economy of the present city f administration ? Why didn't you elucidate, by telling whrein the economy V Did you give any figures ? Did you tell how much has passed through the hands of the administra tion, and where it went? how much of the old debt has been retired, and what great permanent improvements have been made besides cleaning out the ditches semi-occasionally ? Come, nuw, wuzen, you nave made tne as- -sertion of economy ; make it good with figures, and don't give us any "consoli- dated -contingencies:" either, but let m have a full, itemized statement of all receipts and expenditures. Begin bv telling in detail what amount of taxes went into the city marshal's hands, and what amount of money he has collect ed from listed and unlisted taxes ; fines and all other sources, and paid into the city treasury; and last, but not least, how this money has been expended by the city fathers, during the fiscal year. And you can go a little further, "Citi zen," and tell the tax-payers how much His Honor and the marshal get outside of their salaries in the way of perqui sites from the mayor's courts, in the way of thaf little dollar and a quarter cost, which is levied for their benefit on all convictions. This would throw some light on the pay of those offices. The county officials are required to, and do give an itemized statement in detail of all receipts and expenditures passing through their hands. Now let the city officials imitate their example, and then the tax-payers, whose money they han dle, can each see fqr himself the dispo sition made of his money. These are pertinent questions, and a great many tax-payers would be pleased to have them answered. Pro Bono Publico. They had a walking match against time m ilmington, the walker being a long-legged clerk. He took the streets of the city, and tried to walk two miles in twenty minutes. The Sun says at the end or the V miles, they found it necessary to push him up eyery once in awhile. The excitement was red hot now, and the crowd was growing bois terous. When the was reached, they were pulling him along. Fifty yards further they were carrying him along, and before' another fifty vards was reached, he had fainted in their arms:' DIED.
