It Is understood here that Prof. J. A Ulvlns, principal of the Charlotte High School, will accept the . chair, as head- master of Trinity High Hchool, made aennt by the death of his brother, Piof. J. F. Blvlns, to which he was lected yesterday; that is. In case the school commissioners are able to find a man to fill his place- and agree to release him. Prof. Blvlns, when ques tioned by an Observer " man, snld he preferred not to give n distinctly defi nite answer us jet: but In case he should feel it his duty to go, he would regret very much to leave Charlotte. Prof. Blvlns has been principal of the Charlotte High School for Beveral years, and during this period has al ways been a most capable and efficient nstructor and has made hosts of friends. He has been the right man In the right place. It would be diffi cult to find a man to fill his place and nariotie would Bee him leave with re airet. It is fortunate for- Trinity Hlirh Schoel If It is able to secure bo gifted man as Prof. Blvlns to nil the dace only a short time occupied by his holarly brother, Prof. J. F.

This Incident occurred while so mam trains , were passing through taking troops to the Manassas manoeuvers. It will be remembered that groups of sol- iers. mostly from the Cieorgla and Texas regiments, went on a regular foraging expedition through the town making raids on stores and restau rants, leering at women, "stoning pass ers by and making nuisances of them selves generally. This affidavit of Mr Creawcll's will be forwarded , to th Secretary of War and It Is possible thai he will order an Investigation or al least hold back part of the pay due these men. .. .

The Fidelity of Kcrennirr. Word was received here yesterday of a remarkable instance or a Mecklen burg dog's fidelity to her offspring, and the sequel wiU be awaited by a good many persons with much Interest. She Is only a black and tan hound, owned by Mr. H. E. C. Bryant, but she Is very valuable, as dogs go, und there's many a fox hunter in the State who knows her. Screamer, or Nell, for she will answer to either name, was sent to Fayelteville about two weeks ago. leaving behind her .some slx-month-old puppies. She fretted around there, and seemed to miss her children. So yester day she dashed away, heuded for Meck lenburg, where her puppies are. Mr. Bryant is anxious to see his favorite dog again. He feels confident that she will, find her way home If no one dis turbs her; but if anyone should see Screamer, and cure for her until her muster can send for her, he will have made S. firm friend.
