An Effort.
We understand that some of the lead
ing citizens of Charlotte are now. in cor
respondence with Rev S. Mendelsohn, of
this city, with the object of inducing him
to visit that city at an early day for tie
purpose of delivering there his lecture on
Hebrew Criminal Jurisprudence. No posi

been ejected.
New Road Law.
The new road law requires the board
of s a oer visors of each township in the
a
State to meet on the first Monday o:
February, for the purpose of consultlag
on the condition of the roads and to elec
a chairman of their number. Ihe same
section makes it the duty of the supervi
sors to visit and personally examine al
the roads in their township during the
week preceding the meeting.
To Prevent a Dos; from BitUff Yen
It ia said that if you sit down when
assailed by a ferocious dog the aninaa
ill not touch you. This only . holds
good provided you can sit down . on top
of a house or a tree and let the dog bark
below. Tbe animal will get weary o
howling in a few hours and walk away,
when you can come down "without fear
of harm. But if you are as heavy as
Senator Davis a better way would be to
sit down on the dog. He would not touch
anybody after that. .

The Goose Bone Prediction.
The goose bone of this year, it Is said,
denotes that our coldest weather will come
about the middle of February, and tha
our warmest fires will be required for the
first dajs of spring. There are a great
many people throughout the country par
ticularly among the elder portion of the
population, who still firmly adhere to a be
lief in the goose bone as a weather prog.
nosticator.
The forward portion of the breast bone
if dark and clouded after cooking, denotes
that the early part of the winter will be
severe, and the after part t f the bone being
thus clouded denotes that the winter
weather will be during the later months
The bone entirely clouded, as they some
times are, denotes that the winter will be
cold and stormy throughout, while if it
should be but slightly clouded, a mild and
open winter may be expected. The de
gree and position of the cloudiness of the
bone indicates the kind of weather which
may be expected.
Cttj Court.
William Newkirk, colored, charged
with being drunk and disorderly and re
sisting the police, was ordered to pay a

The next and last case on docket was
a case of trespass in which the defendant

man by the name of d ward Nixon, off
the premises saying the property was bis,
and upon the defendant's failure to com
ply with tbe orders of the aforesaid
James Moore swore out a warrant against
Nixon for trespass and cited biu to ap
pear before tbe Major this morning for
tris, . Tbe Major bound NJxon over to
the next term of the Criminal Court in
the sum of $50 for bis appearance t that
time. There being no lrtir business

A Little Prose Upon the Subject off
Poetry.
This is the last occasion we will have to
remind our readers of the opportunity that
will be offered them for an evening of rare
eijoyment at the Opera House to-night,
to listen to the ledum which Col. D. K.
McRae has consented to deliver upon the
subject of Pory at the request of the
Library Association, of this city. Apart
from the interest and pleasure of the lec -
ture itself,the object is a most worthy one
aad should be encouraged by all good!
citizens. The Library Association, which
is an institution no city of the size of
Wilmington should be without, is strug -
gling, we might almost say, for existence

maciwe s leciures ias winter, ana u our

appreciative enomgb of a good thing, to
patronize the lecture business as liberally
this season, tbe association may possibly
clear its skirts of debt and the directors
be able soon to increase the volumes in
tbe Library. If one half the crowd that
paid one .dollar each a Amission to the
Opera House last night to see Buffalo
Bill, will only pay twenty-five cents
apiece for tickets to-night, the associa
tion, we think, will sot only be grateful
but satisfied also.
Ilpplncott's Magazine.
The opening article in Lippincottfs
Magazine for Febmrary, 'A Day with the
Ottawa Chantier-Men,' gives a lively ac
count of the lumbermen and much infor
mation about the recources and prospects
of tbe great Canadian forest lands, with
many eood illustrations. 'Old and New
Rouen' is the first of two illustrated papers,
by Edward King. The eighth chapter of
Dr. Oswald's 'Sammerland Sketches
is also illustrated.
'A Future Capital of tbe United States
is a short, well-written paper. In tbe
first of two carefully written papers on
'Decorative Art and its Dogmas,' tbe

improvements, ia our interior em-
bellishments during recent years
points out tne danger. 0f treating the
principles to which this progress is

paper, unaertae utie ot 'ihe reasant

I The "Knight Of the Plains"
This exciting melodrama, was put up
I on the stage at the Opera House last night
by W. F. Cody, Esq , (Buffalo Bill) and
1 bis troupe. There was a large audience
I Ln attendance who were kept in the best
0f humor throughout the entire perform-
ance by the many good hits and situa
tions with which the play abounds. The
acting wag gQ the comedy laughable
and the thrim inter.
led in fc guch proportions ,M . te
prevent the audience from being wearied
by monotony. The dramatist, Col. Pren
tiss Ingraham, has succeeded admirably
in producing a play in which the charac
ters are felicitously drawn and which
brings out the talent of Mr. Cody, who is
the hero of the piece, and for whom it was
named.
A Case In Point. .
When public -officials are brought to
understand that tax-payers are Jhose most
interested in a due and just execution of
the laws, and that taxes are paid for the
pujpose of upholairg and sustaining good
laws and government, and cot for. the
sole and exclusive benefit of the favored
few who' fred oa pubri ivvi, then ihe
laws for the collection cf 'axes will not
bear so onerously upjn the mercantile
portion of the community.
. These thoughts are Suggested by a fact
which has just come t6 ' our knowledge,
that is that a number . of merchants in this
city who had, in conformity with the law,
listed their purchases before the expiration
of the time allowed by law, but who had
not paid them, were surprised a few days
after by being served with warrants for
the payment of the same without having
been previously called upon for a settle-
meat. The warrants
were issued by
a Republican Justice of the Peace, and to
hip, of course, would the costs ac
crue. It looked to a man op a tree just
as though it was a put up job, all for the
purpose of wringing costs ont of those
who were already heavily taxed for the
privilege of doing business. One gentle
man, our informant, immediately went
up and paid the .tax and then IsKl the
case before Solicitor Moore, who gave it
as his opinion that the thing was. not done
in conformity with the law, whereupon
we understand that the warrants were
withdrawn.
