Hop at the Carolina Military Insti tute to-morrow night. The police and tbe other peace officers hadalmost nothing to do yesterday. The man who has the floor remarks that it is only two weeks from to-day till Christmas. It is thought that the amateurs will give their entertainment for the Hor nets' Nest Riflemen's flag in the opera house about the first week in January. The county commissioners humanely allow the members of the chain, gang, who use the weed, a small ration of to bacco every week. An old citizen advises the boys to keep away from the girls next year, be cause it's leap year and the girls will be loaded. It as the loaded guns that al ways go off. The rooms which the pleasure club are having fixed up will be ready for uae the last of the week, and will pro bably be consecrated to the muses next Tuesday night. Mr. E. W. Scott this morning adver tises his business school at Pineville, an institution whose influences have been and are daily felt throughout that section. The meeting of the Chamber of Com merce to extend a welcome to those gentlemen who recently came among us to engage in manufacturing, will be held in the rooms of that body to-morrow evening. Is the executive department of the State so poor that it can't pay for the advertisement of rewards offered by the Governor ? The sheriff has one now which he is at liberty to publish if the county will pay the expense I A wholesale liquor dealer bought yes terday three hundred jugs from a man who makes them in Lincoln county, and another concern bought almost as many. They said they were getting ready for Christmas and didn't expect to have one left after the holidays. Double Stamping- For some .time .past the postmaster! has been stamping on the reverse side of all letters received at the office here the name of the office, Charlotte,rwith the date of the reception of the letter at the office. This is in accordance with instructions from the pastmaster gen eral and will aid the department in tracing the causes of delay of letters, as well as give the receiver informa tion which may in many cases be val uable to him. ' An Inter-County Cocking-Main. It is now pretty Well understood that there is to be a grand cocking main be tween chickens in Alamance and Meck lenburg counties about Christmas. The arrangements , nave not yet been fully made,, but thete surely will be some lively righting during the holidays. It is supposed that the pit will be made at the fair grounds, as it is against the city ordinances for this sport to be carried on within its limits. Mecklenburg chicken fanciers think they can make now as good a showing as Alamance which has long been known for the excellence of its game stock. . . t . - , r Grand Lodge G. S. and D. of S. The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Samaritaas and Dugh ,ters of Samaria: in the United States, an organization f peculiar -to the colored people, is in session in this city, having .met yesterday. About thirty delegates from different subordinate lodges in the State are present. Tbe members of the order will have a parade on the streets to-day at 1 p. m., after which they will repair to the Methodist church where the funerals of C. N. Moore and Hattie Hunter, officers of the grand lodge, who have died recently-, will be preached by Rev. Z. T. Pearsall, R. W. G., treasurer, assisted by Rev. A. D. Eaton. The lodge will be in session several days. JPost Oltice Changes. Another One. Among the new institutions of Char lotte is the establishment of a branch office of "The Taylor Manufacting Com pany." of Westminister, Maryland, which is managed by J. E. Taylor, Esq.,. who is president of the company. The office for the present is located in Wal ter Brem's hardware store. Mr. Tay lor's headquarters have hitherto been in High Point. The company have al so a branch office in Atlanta. Found Dead in the Woods. Near A. L. Cook's store, in No. 4 town ship, Cabarrus county, two days since, the body of a negro man who lived in the vicinity was found dead in the woods. He had apparently just cut down a small tree and was trimming off the branches ; for some of these had been cut off, and his ax was lying beside mm. xne coroner s jury tnai investi gated the case gave a verdict that he had come to his death by causes un known. There were no marks of vio lence upon his body and the general be lief is that he died of heart disease or some similar affection..

Statesville was in quite a flutter yes terday over a fashionable marriage, the contracting parties being Mr. W. Hill, of the firm of Morrison & Hill, and Miss Ada, daughter of C. L. Sum mers, Esq. The marriage was solemn ized in the Presbyterian church in the presence of a large number of people, Rev. W. A. Wood, D. D., officiating. The attendants were as named below: Mr. D. F.

McLelland and Miss May McLelland ; Mr. R. Evans and Miss Lou Drake. From the church the bride and groom drove to the train, accompanied by their attendants, and left, amid the con gratulations of a great many friends, for atrip to different Northern cities. Gen. Taylor's Staff. Recently Gen. M. P. Taylor, to whose brigade the companies in this section of the State belong, has made several changes in his staff, caused by the res ignation of some of the members there of, and the Wilmington Star gives the following as now composing his staff: N.

L Stough, of Shelby, very soon after which the young couple left for Lin colnton, which is to be their future home, the groom being an enterprising merchant of that town. Both have many friends there, and will receive a hearty welcome and nappy congratul tions. Disciplining Revenue Officers. Yesterday Judge Dick issued an order requiring Deputy Marsnai m. x . enton and United States Commissioner H. Cabiness to appear at the next term of the court to show cause why they should not be removed. The charges against them. are founded upon their conduct in connection with the arrest of J. D, Ilinson for illicit distilling. It came out in the testimony in Hinson s case that both the men were drinking while in the discharge of their official duties, and that Cabiness. the United States commissioner, was among the "raiders" who arrested Hinson. Judge dick has shown a disposition tb deal sternly with officers who are guilty of conduct, of tins sort, and is an" avowed enemy of uweiuperance. Hands of the Bead . Justers Election of Officers. Richmond, December 10. In the General Assembly to-day, three addi tional State officers were elected, viz: Corbin Reynolds, of Botetourt county, treasurer, vice R. M. . T. Hunt er ; R F. Walker, of Richmond City, for superin tendent of public' printing, vice K. E. Fra: s , and Samuel C. Williams, Jr., of Rockingham county, for superintendent o! penitentiary, u;e Samuel A Swann. Over three hours were consumed in the election of superintendent of public printing, the nominating speeches in the Senate bringing on partisan debate of a strong and bitter nature, which de layed the work of both Houses. Three more offices remain to be filled to-morrow, and then the readjusters will have full control of the State government. - Revenue Appointments. Washington, Dec. 10.

These are the days when the man with a shot gun goes out hunting and gets back with a bad cold. Taen Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup takes the place of the tan every time. A ConMant Source oJ Wonder. Why .n It that ihe winners of the pilzes !n the Louls'aaa State Lottery Company always seem to be men who are pretty sharp .n the ways of tie world? Edl'jors, printers, hoiel clerks, bankers, telegraph operators, merchants, and many other professions and occupations seem to have a spec ial knack of hlifng the right number. The peo ple enumerated have the test means of fully con vincing themselves that the statements made by tbe company are reliable and true, and that as 8u--e as the sun rises on the sixteenth of December next, the semi-annual extraordinary distribution will take p'ace at New Orleans, under the sole management of Generp's G. T. Beauregard and Jubal A . Early, when over a half of m-llton of dollars will be disi -lbuted. The full particulars of which can be had of M. A. Daupbn, P. 0. Box 692, New Orleans, La., or s?.me person at No. 319 Broadway, New Yovk City, N. Y. dec9 lw Mrs. WInslow's Soothing Syrup. Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes In the Boston Christian Freeman: We would by no means re commend any kind of medicine which v e d'd not know to be good particularly for Infants. But of Mrs. WInslow's Soothing Syi ap we can speak from knowledge; In our own family It has proved a blessing indeed, by giving an Infant troubled with colic pains, quiet sleep, and Its parents unknown rest at night. Most patents can appreciate these blessings. Here Is an article which works to per fection, and which is harmless; for the sleep which it affords the infant is perfectly natural, and the little cherub awakes as "bright as a button." And during the process of teething, Its value is Incalculable. We have frequently heard mothers say they would not be without It from the birth of the child till it had finished with the teething siege, on any consideration whatever.

A few miles out, as they wrere going down a hill the horse stumbled and fell, breaking the shaft of the buggy. The momentum of the vehicle impelled it f oward, and when the occupants real ized the. situation, it was something like this : the horse was directly underneath the buggy on his back, with his feet against the bottom of it, and his head turned in exactly the opposite direction to that which he was going when he fell. He was lying perfectly still, nor Qia ne move until Dr. Walkup got his motner out of the vehicle, unhitched the ani mal and pulled the buggy from over him, when it was found that the only thing that had been broken or in any way miured was the share, wnicn was snapped when the animal fell. Federal Court, The court did a good day's work yes terday. The following parties were convicted of violations of the revenue laws in the matter -of manufacturing or selling liquor without license from the government: wnmingion Hum phrey, Weldon Humphrey, J. D. Hin son, T. H. Johnston, Mike Eaker. Sen tence has been passed on only one 01 the lot. the last named, who was sent to jail for six months, and to pay a fine of $500. Alfred Newton. VV. F. Masty ana Chas. Morrow were tried and acquitted. Pollv Shepoerd. Eli Huneycutt and R.L. Cagle plead guilty, and will get the Denent 01 tne leniency usuany exienu- ed in such cases. Joseph Huffstetler was called and failed and a judgment nisi entered; Monroe D. Glenn, nol. pros, with leave ; W. D. R. Gearley, nol. pros. It is believed that the criminal dock et will be finished to-day. Women as Violators of tne Revenue Laws. Among the parties arraigned in the Federal Court yesterday was an old woman named Polly Shepperd, from Cleaveland county. When her case was called, her counsel informed the court that she was a widow, very poor and would confess that sne naa soia whiskey "bv the small," but that she did it for her support, and being 65 vears of acre, shft nonld do? little else, The court in consideration of the facts mentioned agreed to extend its clemen cy to her, and instructed the marshal of the district in which she resides to keep a warrh over her, and if she'was caught refilling; the offense, to bring her before the court again. This is by no means tne nrsc instance in which woman has been convicted of a viola tion of the revenue laws. It is assert ed by those familiar with the business of the court, and the habits of : moon shiners that, they frequently put the women their - wives in frontf and hide behind their r petticoats!:. -this practice, however, is only carried oh by tne lower ciass 01 moonsnmen. - " DECEMBER 10, 187 9 PRODUCE.
