KewTear Sermons. '
Seferal of -the pastors in charge of
city churches preached discourses Sun
day especially appropriate to the new
vear season. A prominent idea in at
least two of the discourses was the duty
of Christian people to support their own
churches by their own means. One of
the pastors remarked in the course of
his sermon that if his salary had to be
raised by outsiders, and by means of
entertainments. &c, it were better that
he should resign. The ministers gene
rally gave encouraging accounts of the
progress of Christianity.

chases made by them as principals or
agents or through agents or commis
sion merchants, for the six months end
ing the 31st day of December, 1879. The
amount of purchases, both in and out
of the State, must be included in the
returns. The purchases of liquors must
be kept separate from those of goods,
wares and merchandise.

The Aug-ysta paces Charlotte Stable.
The5 Augusta races begin to-day, and
quite a number of Charlotte people will
.avail themselves of the cheap railroad
fare to witness them. It is stated that
. there are about forty hoisea already on
the ground, and the Augusta papers 10-
. port that there is a very fine prospect
of a most successful meeting, both as
regards the number and quality of the
vliorses and as to the'spectators that will
Attend. T. II. Woods in charge of the
Charlotte stable .shows the following:

A Story of Misfortune. .. .
It is related of a certain, ypung phy
sician in a neighboring eoarHy who is
fond of the sport of cock fighting, that,
having a gamecock;of sonuSilaity; fine
appearance, he conbf ud6d to give him a
li ul e practice prior to a main in which
lie was shortly to figure. Having got
ten iossession of an old "Shanghai roos
ter, he slipped in at the back door of a
a store and invited aolerk to go with
to a certain old bam on .the premises
und see his cock slay the Shanghai. In
order to prevent the game being too
much worried by the fight, the: Shang
hai had been robbed of his spurs, while
the game was armed with the regula
tion gaff. As the two young men slipped
down to the barn, they chuckled to
themselves and preifebed a little fune
ral over the Shanghai, in which it is re
lated that they informed him that he
had only two more minutes to live.
Xure enough the fight was brief and
brilliant. The Shanghai only made
three passes at" his antagonist, and
knocked the breatUoutiof him. Then
he stepped on the game, , walked over
him, crowed 'over him) and defied the
world; The'two young men looked at
each other, smiled, and over the body pf
the dead cock swofer to keep it a graVer
yard secret, but it ail leaked out and is
an o'er true tale. -'

Weddings in the First Presbyterian
Church.
At a recent meeting of the officers of
the First Presbyterian church, a resolu
tion was passed, which was read to the
congregation by the pastor, Sunday,
declaring that hereafter no one should
be admitted into the church building to
witness wedding ceremonies, unless by
card, and in no instance should more
than three hundred persons be allowed
in the church to witness such ceremo
ny. It was further ordered that on
such occasions no one would be allow--ed
to occupy the gallaries except the
members of the choir. It iaimderstood
that the officers were impelled to adopt
these rules from several motions, chief
of which is the alarm which many per
sons feel when the church is filled, as it
has been on several occasions, to its ut
most capacity.
The Horse-Shoe.
One of the most popular styles of
jewelry" this season, is the horse-shoe.
One encounters it everywhere in breast
pins, scarf-pins, ornaments for hats,
printed on wedding invitations, &c.
In connection with vthe . subject, a
writer4 says: "HuBdtedBi;ana hun
dreds of years ago, in the distant land
of Norsemen, before they had come
down, and OFer-run All Europe, the
horseiof fafcragprded as a charm
againsttfiespeirot witchcraft; it was
a belief thatiad been perpetuated for
ages that when people wished to keep
away harm from cattle,a horse-shoe was
hung over the stable door, and from
the house, it was hung over the house
door. It was hung up to bring good
luck. Its deeper meaning was that
people believed in a power above and
beyond them."
The Week of Prayer.
The following is the programme re
commended by the Evangelical Alliance
to the churches of the United States for
the observance of the week of prayer.
Sunditv, January 4. Sermons on the
"Fullness of Christ's Salvation."
Monday, January 5. Thanksgiving
for the blessings of the past year, and
prayer for their continuance.
Tuesday, January 6. Confession of
sin, and humiliation before God.
Wednesday, January 7. Prayer, for
the Church of Christ, its ministers, its
growth in grace, and its enlargement;
and for revivals of religion throughout
our country.
Thursday, January 8. Prayer for
Christian education; for the family,
and institutions of learning; for Sun
day schools and Christian Associations.
So far as has been learned none of
the churches in Charlotte are observing
the week, although services in the two
Presbyterian churches, preparatory to
the communion next Sunday, will be
held beginning Wednesday night.
Facts About the Weather for the Past
Vear.
Some interesting facts concerning the
weather during the past year are
gleaned from the records of the signal
office In this city. It appears that the
coldest day in the year was January
4th, when the thermometer stood at 11
above zero. The hottest day was July
12th, the thermometer registering 101.
The hottest month of the year was
July, the mean temperature being 79.1,
and the coldest month was February,
mean temperature being 40.9. The
total rain fall in the year was 44.34
inches.' The greatest amount of rain
in any month was in July, 8.64 inches,
and ihe. greatest rainfall on any one
day was on the 30th of the same month,
when the rain gauges showed 4.24 inch
es. During the year it rained or snow
ed on 134 days. The prevailing direc
tion of the wind was from the south
west, and the highest velocity recorded
was 34 miles per hour. There were
only three snows, which occurred on
the" 19th of January, the 14th of
February and 19th of November, and
one sleet, on the 17th of February. The
first frost during the present winter oc-curred-on
the 26th of September, but
was not sufficient to injure vegetation.
The first killing frost fell on the 25th of
October. Last spring the latest killing
frost was on the 4th of April, destroy
ing blooms of fruit trees.
A Idadman in the Streets.
Just before daylight yesterday morn
ing people in many parts of the city
were aroused and alarmed by yells and
screams which seemed rather to belong
to some other regions than this, and for
which no one was apie to account.
The cries came from a man named A1-.
lison Mitchell, who lives in Steel Creek
township and who had became crazed
with drink. As soon as the police
heard him enter the city, they made an
effort to capture him, but being on
horse-back he eluded their most persis
tent efforts, dashing wildly through the
streets, all the time screaming at the
top of his voice. The officers endeavor
ed to surround him and to flank him at
every corner, and, failing in this, they
finally set a large-twrtl-crogr belonging
to a member of the force after the ani
mal, in the hope of checking "his speed
and getting possession of his rider, but
were thwarted in every attempt. Still
the man kept 6ft 'at . headlong speed,
looking every moment as if he would
be dashed to pieces on the pavements,
and at last disappeared beyond the city
limits.
-In the course of a few boors Police
man Blackwelder received information
that he had returned, bare-footed and
bare-headed, having left his horse a mile
from the -my? and was'ipi ftDar-raqm

city and applied for permission, to take:

An Open Business
The great success won by the Louisiana State
Lottery Company has been gained by the strict
fairness of its dealings with the public. All Its
methods of doing business are open as the day and
buyers of tickets have learned that they have only
to contend with the laws of chance, and all are
served alike. When any one asserts the contrary
of this It is safe to call him a liar or a blackmailer.
The regular monthly drawing will take place on
the 13th January.
