LOCAL INTELLIGENCE, J. T. DeLane, Local Editor. competi tor The corn crop of Hyde, says a corres pondent of the Wilmington Journal, is very good, but the cotton prospects not as good as that of last year. A Gentle Reminder,—The luminary pub lished at Shelby, known as the Aurora, takes us to task for inadvertently failing to notice the revival that was -progressing in our village for two weeks, which ended on the 5th, inst. During the first week we had noted its progress, intending to publish it, but by some*accident the copy failed to get in the hands of the composi tor, which is not unfrequently the .case about a printing office, as the Aurora well knows. Being aware of this fact r then, the Aurora man should have had a more Christian-like bearing, and he would have found out in time that, “All’s well that ends well.” We have always had the Isaac Merritt Singer.—This eminent Paignton, near Torquay, England on the .23d day of July, 1875, in the sixty-fourth year of his age.

Dancing is an amusement, and if con ducted properly will minister to health and happines, notwithstanding it is condemned by many of our good people. As a means of physical culture it favors the development of the muscular system, and is promotive of health and cheerful ness. Jacques says it is “the best of all indoor exercises, as it brings to bear upon to employ the simplest materials, such as a steel wire bent to some peculiar shape,, or a piece of sheet iron cut to some strange form, ora pine stick curiously whittled, with a pocket knife, to elucidate the prin ciples of some of the most useful and curi- Dealers in GROCERIES, CONFECTIONS, on- We are receiving a’ new stock of Family Groceries and Confections of every kind which will be sold at very low prices for cash.

Altogether, our citizens are alive to the situation, and attention to two classes of persons—fools and infants—the Aurora man is no infant. the town.

M. Rawing last Friday night. At an early hour the young folks began to assemble and soon the house was crowded to its utmost capacity, all looking happy and cheerful, as if they anticipated a good time.; and we believe their antici pations were fully realized. The evening’s entertainment opened with a grand phantom entrance andallaton.ee the band burst forth with a thrilling strain of melo dy in the hall, which brought all to their feet, and especially the “masked” ones. To see these young people stalking about the hall in their ghostly habiliments was enough to make one believe that the phantom tales, of which we hear so much said, were really true. This was merely a prelude to what was to follow, if we arc to judge from the ball after their masks were thown aside. We noticed that "Wilmington was large ly represented, by both ladies and gentle men. Thievery.—On last Sunday Morning a colored man by the name of Pink Ram- sour visited the premises of Caleb Hobbs, Esq., for the perpose of hiring his carriage [Mr. Hobbs was not at home just at the time, having gone to his father’s. Pink thought he would look around and see if the- carriage would suit lum, should he get it. He made very close- observations, and discovered some eggs in it, of which he pocketed five, and stolledaround with the dignity ofa Sioux Chief on the war-path. But, unfortunately for Pink, Mr. Hobbs had just put the eggs there that Morning, and consequently knew just how many wore there ; and on his return missed the five eggs. He accused the above named gent of lifting them, which-ho denied, of course, but being examined the eggs were found on his person. Mr: Hobbs then let in upon him.and gave him a few warm rounds with his fist and bade him leave as soon as possible: He was very obedent and hastened down theroad with the ra- While he was still a young man he in vented a steam drilling machine, whiU was used with much advantage in the cc struction of various railways and cans Subsequently he invented a machine ■ carving wood, metals, or marble. Wh endeavoring to introduce this invent* to public notice and use, his attention was casually directed to the sewing machine. At this time (A. I). 1850) though several, patents on sewing devices had been grant ed in this and other countries, no practi cal machine capable of profitable employ produced. Up to that time sewing machines had been experimental merely and had failed to be useful. In eleven days the first Singer sewing machine was invented and and built complete. It contained much that was new and useful, subsequent im-. provements, for which numerous patents were obtained, added greatly to the value of this machine; but it was successful and profitable from the beginning to all con cerned in it and, against all competition, has steadily and continuously increased in public favor, thus establishing the reputa tion of the inventor and securing him a vast fortune. After several years’ resi dence in Paris, he went, with his family, to England, and finally purchased an estate and settled down at Old Paignton,, near, Torquay, in Devonshire. The last years of his life were devoted to the im provement of that property, where he dispensed a liberal hospitality, and" to the poor of that neighborhood his death will for country produce.

It has superceded every other fertilizer wherever it has been introduced. We assure our good people that though these phrases bear a hidden moaning they are really as innocent as “Chops and To mato sauce,” and other kindred ambushed technicalities. A friend, who knows all about it, and who is morover deeply grateful to certain good-natured chokers, has kindly furnish ed me the following information respect ing their new order of men, which I give to your readers in order to satisfy the curious and to remove the fears of those who anticipate a renewal of Ku KIux out rages. A Choker is an unmarried male of the genus homo, too young to seriously contem plate a matrimonial alliance, yet old enough to feel the moon’s gentle influence and to keep late hours without exciting anxious cares for his welfare at home; who has seen something of society, knows when a earner is in order and can manu- vre himself into position without impo litely disclosing the purpose of his strategy, and who is ever ready to act his part when the necessities of his neighbor call for his assistance. It is not necessary that he possess unusual conversational powers; his part is kind, considerate ac tion. He believes in order and regularity, and prevents such disagreeable accidents as “Spiked teams” on public occasions or at private parties He manages a fan dexterously, rolls his eyes affectionately, promenades slowly and never falls into the way of others. If there be pleasant, secluded places, his polite consideration for the wishes of his friends prompt him to seek other paths and to leave the “bowers” and the- “rustic benches”—just wide enough for two=—for' those who are familiar with “Come into the' garden, city, where he was arrested upon a tele gram. Gov. Vance appeared for the defen dant and W. H. Bailey, Esq., for the plain tiff. The man was adjudged guilty, and was allowed to give bail in 81,000; failing to do this he was committed to jail.” IF a man happens to drop off" to sleep on the streets of Charlotte, he will be cer tain to wake up with pockets gone and his watch, if he has any, removed. At least, such was the case with a man by the name of G. W. McManus, who was known as having a bar-room in that ritv- steps of Walter Brem & Martin' been stolen, both pockets of his pants cut, and a knife, rule, and something over .>5 Ma.i’i*icI.
