Warner fc Co. : Sirs A distressing cough, originating from diseased liver, was cured by your Sale Kidney and Liver Cure. a. Hopkins. A Dojti Town Merchant, Having passed several sleepless nights, disturb ed by the agonies and cries of a suffering child, und becoming convinced that Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing Syrup was Just the article needed, pro cured a supply for the child. On reaching home and acquainting his wife with what he had done, she refused to have It administered to the child, as she was strongly In favor of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed In suffering, and the parents without sleep. Returning home the day following, the father found the baby still worse; and while contemplating another sleepless night, the mother stepped from the room to attend to some domestic duties, and left the father with the child. During her absence he administered a por tion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke In the morning bright and hap py. The mother was delighted with the sudden and wonderful change, and although at first offend ed at the deception practiced upon her, has con tinued to use the Syrup.and suffering crying babies and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the bal y. and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all Druggists. 25 cents a bottle.

Sr"01d Probs" made a clear miss on yesterday's weather, which can perhaps be accounted for by the fact that be has had such a monotonous time of It for the last six weeks, that he has become careless. tSTMiss Louise Clarke, the elocu tionist, has been sick at her home in Selma, Ala., since the 5th of last Octo ber, and is still unable to be up.

Their stock is a very choice one, and it will be disposed at bargains to purchasers. tWlt will be seen by a reference to the report of last night's meeting of the Library association that the sec ond of a series of interesting debates is set for next Fridayjnight. A number of choice spirits are engagzd for the af fray, their blood is up, and a lively time is anticipated. tSThe principal of the Charlotte Female Institute requests us to state that there is no authority whatever for the rumor which has reached his ears that Dr. Bidtz contemplates leaving Charlotte. lie has every reason to hops that Dr. Bidez's engagement as director of the music department of the Insti tute' is a permanent one. New Skating- ItinU. Messrs. Brem & McDowell have rent ed the third story of the Sanders and Blackwood building, on College street, and will con vert it into a skating rink.

Ferry & Co., for 1882, surpasses any heretofore issued by this well known establish ment, and so far as beauty goes would adorn a centre table, while much valua ble information is given in relation to the proper methods to be pursued in the management of vegetable and flower gardens, hot beds, &c., which is essen tial to the success of the gardener. The catalogue will be sent free on applica tion to D. M. Ferry & Co., Detroit, Michigan. Akkociatiwit Meeting The Library Association last night held its weekly meeting, which was well attended and very interesting Readings were enjoyed from Misses Minnie Asbury, Lola Wallace, Carrie Carter, and Messrs. Chas. Wheeler and J. B. Bethune. The popular debate was decided up on by the committee on exercises for next Friday night to be engaged in by eight of the gentlemen, four on either side. The subject is "Ambition ;" "Whether its tendencies are greater for good or evil in their influence on human af fairs ;" or, in other words, "Has ambi tion proved more frequently a virtue or a vice." German and Hep. The complimentary hop and german to Miss Hattie Beckurts, of Louisville, Ky.. by Mr.LeRoy Davidson, of this city, came off at the Central llotel on Thursday evening last. The attend ance was large, the dressing handsome, and the occasion one among the happi est and most enjoyable of the entire season. The hop was continued until 12 o'clock, when the ever popular german was announced and participated in by the following couples: Miss Beckurts and Mr. LeRoy Da vidson ; Miss Louise Morehead and Mr. R. T. Bratton ; Miss Bird and Mr. E. F. Young: Miss Gracie Dewey and Mr. J W. Osborne ; Miss Annie Dewey and Mr. R.A. Lee; Miss Rosalie Wilkes and Mr. W. R. Johnston-, Miss Ada Wriston and Mr. M. P.

The first number of the University Monthly, published at Chapel Hill, by the Dialectic and Philanthropic socie ties of the University, has been re ceived. The publication "is intended to afford an outlet for whatever facility of expression, or freshness and power of thought, the members of those two bodies may possess." The publication contains much of interest, is creditably gotten up, and will no doubt become popular with the public Among its editors we note Mr. T. M. Vance, of this city. For Cruelty to Animal. A party in the city was yesterday ar rested for engaging rn cock fighting within the corporation. The ordinance against it was repealed at the last meet ing of the board of aldermen, and the arrest was made under the provisions of a bill passed by the last Legislature preventing cruelty to animals. The hearing of the case was postponed until to-day, and will take place before Jus tice Waring. The mayor has instructed the police to arrest all parties participating in this kind of sport within the city limits. Accident to sv Steel Creek Farmer Mr. Star G. Kendrick, a prominent and well-known citizen of Steel Creek township, met with a very serious ac cident in the early part of this week, from which he has suffered a great deal, and is not yet out of danger. Mr. Kendrick owns a cotton gin, saw mill, etc., and on the day of the accident was engaged in moving the engine a short distance from its former loca tion, thinking it unnecessary to take down the smoke stack to make the re moval. While at work near the engine the stack fell, striking Mr. Kendrick on the back of the head, injuring him to such an extent that his friends thought he could not recover. Reports up to Friday night represented him to be slightly improved, but still in a very critical condition. We have been una ble t learn whether the blow fractured the skull of the injured man, or wheth er he is suffering from a concussion. Postal Rukliieka. Below will be found a few facts in relation to the business of the Char lotte postoflice which may be of inter est, as they show the importance of this point as a mail center. Some of the statements are for one quarter only, some for a month, and others for the whole year. The number of mails received by railroad daily is eight, while the same number is sent out daily by rail. There are 46 agents and railroad postal clerks who run into the Charlotte postoflice. For the 4th quarter of the year 1881 there were 424 valuable letters regis tered, and 728 receiyed and delivered. The small business in this department can very well be accounted for by the the presence of extra banking facili ties here, as few cities in the country are so well supplied with banks, con sidering population. There are on an average 2,300 registered letters in trans it handled in this office per month, while the number of postal cards and letters distributed averages about 2,500 per day. The following statement shows the receipts of the office for last year, the last quarter showing a slight increase over the first : First quarter $ 3,617.48 Second " 3,116.02 Third - 2,973.30! Fourth " 3,733.12 Total $13,439.92 ; For box rents the following amounts were received for the same period : First quarter $ 206.00 Second " 226.00 Third " 227.00 Fourth " 234.50 Total $ 893.50 Of the mails going out by rail one leaves at 3 :10 a. m., one at 12 at night, and one at 10:10 p. m.; the mails arriv ing at night as follows: 12:27 a. mn and 2:30 a. m., making perhaps a larger amount of night work necessary than is the case with any office in the coun try doing the same amount ot business. Why the Fast Mall waa Discontinued. It has heretofore been announced that the fast mail from Washington to At lanta over the Richmond and Danville Railroad will be discontinued on and after to-morrow. General Manager Talcott has written the appended let ter to Superintendent Sage, of Atlanta, in which are given the reasons for its withdrawal. It seems the trouble has risen from the fact that the postoffice department have had the right to dic tate the schedule for the fast mail, and in this fact lies the cause of the great irregularity in that mail. Had tne Richmond and Danville retained con trol of making the schedule we have no doubt that greater success would have attended the enterprise, and in all prob ability its usefulness would have be come so great as to render its perma nancv a necessity. The following is the letter of Col. Talcott: Office of General Manager, RTfTfrMnmv Va Feb. 2. 1882. To Captain I. Y. Sage, Superinten dent, etc., Atlanta, Ga Sir: The "fast mail from wasningion 10 Atlanta, which has been run under an agree ment with the United States postoffice department by which special compen sation has been allowed the railway companies for this particular train, in consideration of the department having the right to dictate the schedule, will be discontinued on and after Sunday, Feb ruary 12, ls, lor tne iouowtng reasons : First. The compensation allowed by the department is not sufficient to cov er the actual expenses of the train, and as the schedule leaving New York at a .ok a m rn 1 firs it of no service for 1 .uw j , through passengers, and it ean make no Stops for local travel, no auuiuunai rev- K rlori vrl f mm naasenirers to CUUQ vw..- r suDDlement the mail pay and thus meet .. C l.nin tne expenses ua wio womj. . Second. The schedule required by the department is not a practicable one at all seasons and during all weather, and as the department has given the rail road companies notice that the compen sation will be withheld when the fast mail train fails to make the schedule prescribed, the mail pay must necessa rily fall very far short of the expenses and particularly in view of the fact that owing to the inahiUty of the depart ment to pay for the fast mail except be tween Washington and Toccoa, Ga., the train has been run between Toccoa and Atlanta wholly at the expense of the Third. For several months past the fast mail service has been maintained only in deference to the wishes of the department, and in the hope that a more practicable and better schedule could be substituted for the present one. Such a schedule as has been proposed, leaving Washington after the arrival of the 9 p. m. train rrom jn e w i orx or in continuation of the 12 o'clock (mid night) train from New York if prefer redand arriving at Atlanta, Athens, Columbus and Augusta early in the mornincr. would expedite the New York letter mail not only to the points nam ed, but probably, also, to Savannah, Ma con, Columbus, and other points in Georgia and South Carolina, as there is good reason to Deneve tnat tne scnea ules of connecting roads would general ly be adjusted to more close connec tions with such a train, some of them having already expressed a willingness to adopt the schedule indicated, and amongst them the Central, of Georgia. This, in connection with the fact that none of the railroad companies, except those included in the arrangement made with the department more than a year ago, have adjusted their schedules to a connection with the present "fast mail." would seem to demonstrate conclusive ly not only that the proposed schedule is the better of the two, but that the present schedule is defective in some important particular. If the "fast mail," as now run. afford ed any material facility to the public generally, the railroad companies might feel justified in maintaining it, even at a consideraoie expense to themselves ; but as it actually delays the delivery of mails which iormerly were sent by the preceding train, and does not expedite the mail to any point with regularity, it is believed that no material incon venience to any one will be caused by its discontinuance.
