Can this be true ? Has he gone so complete ly back on us? Narrow Escape of Five Point A small wooden building in the most thickly settled portion of "five Points" aught tire last night some time after dark, but the flames were extinguished before the alarm was given.

Justice McNinch has been vprv tive during the past week in enforcing the vagrant law and hunting out the thieves who have been perpetrating the recent robberies in the city. Thir teen negro men have been arrested within the past two days, charged with vagrancy, and warrants have been is sued for ten mora Most of those ar raigned were dismissed with slight pun- lsuuitiiii or wim tne cost,, Dut the crood e- canipirig of the citizens of Fi vOoini nts aiKl Similar localities, In the search for the vacrrants. a numoer ot articles of clothing, table-j the office of Justice Mcinch for identi fication. These include blankets, quilts, cf)unterpanes tablespoons, a silver fork parked Papa,"; etc. It is Jelieved that if the owners of this property will go to the office and identify the articles, in formation can be obtained which will lead to the discovery of many other stolen articles. Sallie Crockett, wife of the notorious Dick Crockett, and Hester Johnston, wer arraigned before Justice Mc Ninch during the day on the charge of concealing stolen property, and were committed to jail for further hearing. The Bonnvts of '31. Women's bonnets have alwavs been considered a legitimate subject for ridi cule by the opposite sex. In an old copy of the Miners' and Farmers' Journal, published in Charlotte, of date of No vember 2, 1831, we find the following in a local communication signed "Arsrus:" "Ladies need no longer be afraid of being stared out of countenance ; it is the bonnet that attracts the eye, as na turalists admire the beauty of a shell without noticing the freeholding fish that occupies it. Many years ago, bon nets were in the form of a long tube, or steamboat funnel, placed horizontally, at the farther extremity of which the face of the fair wearer might, in a clear day, be discovered like a oumble-bee in a pumpkin-blossom, or rather like a cat at the bottom of a well. In those days a gentleman could take a kiss, if it was offered him, without crawling into the tube, as Gen. Putnam did in'o the wolf's den, with a rope round his leg. Some wicked wit said it was this osculatory inconvenience that caused the anterior extremity of the bonnet to expand-and assume the form of a coal-scuttle, or an inverted wheelbarrow with the aim saed off. Amateurs no longer need go into the woods in search of curious and rare plants; the proper place for" botanizing is on the bonnets of the la dies, which afford floral specimens that would make the heart of Linnaeus dance for joy." Tbe Cold Weather and tbe Crop. The chief topic on the streets and in the household yesterday was the sud den cold weather which came upon us day before yesterday about noon, and the destruction which it has caused to fruit and nearly all young crops. The thermometer stood at 30 nearly all night and there was a heavy hoar frost A reporter took pains yesterday to ques tion at least a dozen persons who have fruit of any kind on their premises and the general verdict is that it has nearly if not quite all have Deen killed, ah vegetables out of the ground, except advanced peas and letteuce has suffered a like fate. The plants and the buds of fruit trees were found in many in stances to have been frozen stiff, al though the atmosphere has been unusu ally dry for four or five days past. There were very few farmers in the city yes terday, consequently it was impossible to get accurate information as to wheat ana oats. The general impression, how ever seems to be that so much of the wheat as has minted will ne almost to- talltCdstrpyea Tlie dat .cpuld not have suffered to a consiaeraoie extent, and comparatively little corn and no cotton is up in the country. Farmers are quite gloomy over the. prospect. Owing to the beautiful weather throughout March, almost unpreccdent edly warm for this climate, vegetation of every sort had advanced rapidly and hence was less capable of resisting the cold than usually at this season. For this reason the injury is doubtless much more general and extensive than is yet known. We will be able to procure fuller arid more reliable reports of the farm crops to-day. , We can. safely 'ay now from-frifSrmatiori: already received that the loss to Mecklenburg county is veiy serious indeed, amounting in the aggre gate to many thousand dollars. Iining- Note. The meeting of the mining board, which was to have been held last night, was postponed till to-night at 8 o'clock, at the office of Gen. Drayton. There have been at least a dozen par ties in the city within the last ten days from the North and Northwest to look at mines in this vicinity. These include several gentlemen who already have interests nere. , . , . T . MrK Mtz, bt tiue BeweiMjbine, was in the city yesterday. He reports steady progress in the work there. They have a soft white ore which is easily worked and which gives a paying yield. They are now engaged chiefly, in, tunnelling and on surface wasmng. I r,VOT- twAnt.T -nftnnvweiffhts.

P , . The Hornet fire company gafve a little turn-around at their hall last night There were present representatives of the other fire companies and a number of citizens," invited guests. The Hor nets were, as they always are on such occasions, profuse in their hospitalities, and if there was any one there who did nt, have a good time, it was no one's fault but his pwn. Refreshments went the round r and merriment ruled the hour. Different persons present were called out for, speeches, and some de clined with thanks while others spoke briefly between drinks. Excellent feel ing prevailed, and all who were present have to thank the Hornets for an even ing delightfully spent. A telegram from Mayor Smith, regretting bis ab sence from the city and his consequent inability to be present at the reception, was received and read amid aonlause. A.
