CttenBITements.v Charlotte cotton receipts from the beginning of the cotton year, Septem ber 1st, to the close of 1879, were just 1379 bales more than at the same period last year, the receipts being 28,364. The receipts by months run as follows: In 1879 September, 4,072 ; October, 11,432 ; November, 6,948; December, 5,912; to tal 28,364. In 1878 September, 3,696; October, 12,064; November, 6,747; December, 4,018; total, 26,485. It is estimated by those familiar with the business; that this ratio of increase will be fully maintained, and perhaps greatly enlarged at the end of the sea son, as it is known that a large number of persons, some who have bought cot ton, are holding it for higher prices.

Leap year parties are taking posses sion of the young folks of these parts. and are affording a wonderful amoui t of amusement to those who participate. There is something, refreshing, ticklish and altogether interesting, they all agree, in reversing the order of things. The Greensboro party, on the night of the 1st, and the Statesville party on the 2d, are both described as entirely suc cessful and highly enjoyable. Tuesday night the Raleigh people have one, and a grand affair it promises to be. Thirty odd names appear on the invitations. Several young gentlemen from Char lotte will probably attend. The Char lotte leap year hop comes off on the 15th, and extensive preparations are being made for it. Three hundred in vitations have been ordered and will be sent out over the State, and already in formation has been received to the effect that Raleigh, Wilmington, and other towns in the State willsend represent atives. The hop will be had in the dining rooms of the Central Hotel, and promises to be an occasion long to be remembered, especially by the men. . - Meteorological Data for December - The following meteorological data for the month of December, 1879, is furnished by Dr. ODonoghue, officer in charge of the signal station in this city: Monthly mean barometer. 30.142 ; high est barometer, 30.492 on the 1st at 6.45 and 7 a.m.; lowest barometer, 29.623 on the 6th at 2:45 p. m.: monthly range of "barometer, 869 ; monthly mean temper ature, 49.7; highest temperature, 70 on the 25th and 80th; lowest temparature, 19 ou the 26th ; monthly range of tem perature, 51 ; greatest daily range of temperature, 30 on the 26th ; least daily range of temperature, 9 on the 5th; monthly mean humidity, 76.1 ; prevail ing wind, southwest: total monthly movement of wind, 3,946 miles; maxi mum velocity of wind and direction, 21 miles west on the 25th at 6:15 p. m.; total rainfall, 5.26 inches; number of clear days, 7; number of fair days, 12; number of cloudy days, 11; number of foggy days, 1 ; total number of days on which rain fell, 13; total number of days on which no fain fell, 18; dates of frosts, l, 13, 17, 26, 27, 28. There were no remarkable phenomena during the month. A Postal Regulation. The following provision of the Uni ted States postal law and regulations is wortn remembering, particularly since the general government is somewhat positive about the observance of its laws: "Ho person shall transmit by Srivate express or unlawful means, or eliver to any agent of such unlawful express or deposit, or cause to be de posited at any appointed place, lor tne purpose of being transmitted, any letter or packet ; and for any such offence, the party offending shall be liable to a pen alty of fifty dollars.' Railroad Reverberations It is said that there are 1,849 miles of railroad now in use in South Carolina. The people along the Charlotte, Col umbia and Augusta Railroad keep g( n rebelling against the freight cnarges. Charlotte has suffered much in this way at different times and is a sympa thizer. The iron for covering the high bridge on the Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio Railroad near Statesville, has arrived, and the work will be commenced as soon as the contractor, Mr. Lindsey, re covers from his illness. It is a fact which is not generally known, that railroad companies, or some of them at least, are very partic ular about the transportation of human remains. They require them to be accompanied by a cer tificate of a physician that the person did not die of a contagious disease. The Concord Register reports that the citizens of Mt. .Pleasant are bestir ing themselves in the matter of the Taylorsville & Wadesboro Railroad. A meeting was held on the 26th, and a board of directors was elected, consist ing of the following: Messrs. W. R. Kmley and H. C. McAllister, of Mt. Pleasant. Geo. Richie and Wm. Propst, Esqs., of Concord, and Messrs. H. M. Leazer and J no. Lipe, of Enochville, with Capt. Jonas Cook and Prof. H. T. J. Ludwick, of Mt. Pleasant, as presi dent and secretary. John Heilman was elected treasurer, and Ambrose Heilman, Aaron Yost and H. McNa mar, general agents to solicit contribu tions for stock.

' The friends of ex-State Treasurer Jenkins, of Gaston, are sorry to see Facts About 1SS0. The first day of the year and of April will fall on Thursday; the Fourth of July comes on Sunday, and Christmas on Saturday. It is leap year, and Feb ruary has 29 days, as the girls will then be privileged to go courting, they, will have the opportunity to do plenty of it, as the almanac-maker was considerate enough to put five Sundays in the month of February. Easter comes within a week of as early as it ever came on the 28th day of March. The year 18S0 will have six eclipses four of the sun and two of the moon, but only one of them will be visible here, namely, the sixth, which is a partial eclipse of the sun on the last day of the year very early in tne morning, very unusual thing about these eclipses is that three of them occur in Decem ber a circumstance that will not again occur in many years. A total eclipse of the sun on January 11, will be whol ly visible in California and partially in Missouri, Both eclipses of the moon will be total, but invisible in North America. About the middle of 1880 Winneck's comet will make its appear ance in the heavens after an absence of fiveyears and seven months. The moon will be the ruling planet of 1880, and the year will be generally more humid than cold that is the almanac says so. The year of 1880, of course, goes out on Friday. Hunting: tne Boom. Mr. Byron Andrews, the Chicago Inter-Ocean man, traveling with Grant, got out of the car at the depot in this city and earnestly enquired about the Grant boom. He was told that if there was anybody for Grant in these parts, he was a Republican, and it had not been definitely ascertained that the party was solid for him. "But how about the old soldiers," you know ? said the man of the quill. "Well, really, soldiers don't talk much. Haven't heard any of them discussing the matter." "My business, you know," said Mr. Andrews, "is to ask and answer ques tions." "Certainly. They say there is a little boom down in Georgia. At least the papers down there have been talking about it." "I believe it's more comfortable in the car; good morning, sir, and with this the two men in the same business Earted, one to go on and hunt the oom and "boost it, and the other to cogitate on the somewhat sigular fact that a man who is not in politics, who does'nt want to be President, and who professes to be traveling as a private citizen, should take along with him the correspondent of a newspaper which has been unfaltering in its devotion him on crutches. He has been a great to him and his political aspirations, ana during the refuse another journal which hadn t The Electric Light One of Mr. Edi won's Lamps Burning: Cor 30S Hours. Some twenty gentlemen and ladies visited the laboratory and workshop of Mr. Edison, at Menlo Park, N. J., on Tuesday afternoon, and were shown the different processes and experiments by means of which it 13 hoped that a perfect electric light may ultimately be obtained. It had been announced that Mr. Edison would illuminate the park Wednesday evening with his new car bon lamp?, and it was with a view to seeing this illumination that the ma jority of visitors went to the laboratory. The announcement, however, proved unfounded. It will be some time be fore Menlo Park will be thoroughly lighted by electricity, but the prepara tions for this event are rapidly being pushed forward. The account says : Lamp posts are being erected at every available point, and the copper wires which are to convey the electricity are being stretched along the sidewalks and connected with the houses. The lamp ' posts are of hollow iron, painted white and surmounted Dy an ovai glass, in which tle carbon lamp is inclosed. The wires pass up the hollow post and con nect with the lamp. Only three of these street lamps are yet burning, two in front of Mr. Edison s office and one in front of his house. These are kept incandescent night and day, with a view to testing the fusibility of the car bon horseshoe.0. One of the lamps in the laboratory has been burning, it is asserted by Mr. Edison, fourteen hours a day for twenty-two days, and the car bon has apparently lost none of its weight or power of resistance to the electric current. "Suppose," said Mr. Edison, "that on an average each lamp in the house is burned for five hours every day. That lamp has now burned 308 hours, which would be equivalent to over sixty days in an ordinary house. How long the carbon will last I cannot say. That is wnat we are experiment ing on now. I am waiting for one of my carbon horseshoes to consume." There, will be no regular illumination of Menlo Park for the present. Each Generator of electricitv will furnish on ly forty lamps, and Mr. Edison has on ly one generator connected with his eighty-horse power engine now. He requires nineteen before he can light the eight hundred lamps which he es timates that his engine will supply. As each generator is completed, he will add to the number of his lamps, and thus, in time, Menlo Park will be thoroughly illuminated. When this will be, the inventor himself is unable to say. In the meantime, all visitors are made heartily welcome at the labor atory, and every facility is offered for the investigation of the new electric light. (gvcctvi&s. &t.

Josh Glover and Bob Graham, the champion fox hunters of thi3 county, day before yesterday closed the- hunt ing season by a magnificent chase in Union county, lasting three or four hours, and yesterday were - in the city with the skin of their- victim, a fine gray fox, measuring four feet one inch from tip to tip. This makes the; tenth f.x thev have cauchfc this season, and tli-iy almost weep because there are not others in this section of the country. They have hunted in four or five coun ties in this State and occasionally go over the South Carolina line to teach the people of that State how to hunt. Qoly in a few instances have thev fail ed to catch a fox after they once -fairly struck his trail. Friday's chase was a most exciting and brilliant H one, a : fit Jinale to a successful season, and the hunters retire, defying the State to show a better recordthan they have made.
