if the owners of this property will go to
the office and identify the articles, in

lead to the discovery of many other
stolen articles.

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,

There have been at least a dozen par

hour. Different persons present were
called out for, speeches, and some de
