You can now buy Improved Heating and Cok Stoves at factory price at Jacobi's. f The Cape Fear river is yellow fritb mud and considerable timber is arriviig and en route here. Shad are scarce and high now, al though the run promises to be a fine one late in the season. Col. W. H. Turk, of Raleigh, who has many friends in this city, is stopping at the Pnrcell House. V Reserved seats for the Bergers, and Miss Calhoun's Daniel Rochat, first night, are now on sale. Mr. M. Sthloss and wife, of the Char lotte Hotel; are in the city. It is said he is looking to the establishment of a hotel here. If the worth of aaything is proven by its results, then rurely Dr. Bull's Coagh Syrup is preeminently the best Covgh Syrup mow extant. A.'bunch of keys was found on Market street this morning and is now in the hands of the Chief of Police, from whom the owner can iret them.

There is now not more than four feet of water across it at high tide and is it dry at low tide.' Gray Hairs are Honorable, but their premature appearance is annoying. Par ker's Hair Balsam is popular for. cleanli ness and promptly, restoring youthful color. We understand that a dime party will be gived at Mrs. Morrison's, on Front, between Chestnut aad Mulberry streets, to-morrow evening. A good time is an ticipated.

No Northern papers have been receiv ed here since Saturday morning. There will be three days' mail to-night. It is the ice blockade in the North, it is said, which interrupts communication. The News and Observer avails itself of the communication published by Col. Smith in the Review, relative to cost of the Criminal Court as compared with the Superior Court in 1877, but neglects to give credit therefor. tNewJflag crossings have been put down on the north side of Market, across Third and Fourth streets, which is a vejy great improvement. In wet weather it was almost impossible to cross at these cor ners on uccount of the bog and mud. The coal blockade will be broken this week. 31 r. Springer has received a tele gram from Philadelphia stating that the schooner John A. Griffin, with a cargo of coal for him, had gotten through the ice and been towed to sea. This was on Saturday and with the favorable winds the Griffin has hail wo may expect to see her here this week.

The Mayor interviewed the following persons, who were op before , him this morning: W. J. ' Meacham, drank : and down; $15 ox 20 days ia the city prison, said the llayor.Herireat below. , '"ff .Chas. L..Iloy, a.tramp who asked for lodging last night, waa carried before His Honor this morning. The prisoner stated that he was no tramp and that he was looking for money from his . wife to take him home with. That he bad been ia Florida working on a railroad and had started for his home in New York and expected to get money here to pay his passage with. He was ordered to be kept ia the guard room until to-morrow and if his money did not arrive to be escorted to the city limits by a police mai. His Honor rendered his decision in the cases of Mr. C. H. Gilbert. In two cases he was ordered to pay a fine of $10 and cost ia each case, and in the third case was ordered to 10 days in the city prison. The defendant was granted ap peals and was required to give justified bonds in the sam of $50 in each case. qtt. Valentine's Day. ' The, origin of St. Valentine's Day, and the reason why the 14th of Febru ary was selected for its observance, will probably always remain enshrouded in mystery. Tradition has it that this day was so called in honor of a priest or bis hop of the Bemish Church named Talen tine, who suffered martyrdom under the Emperor Claudius 11, at Rome, A. D., 271, and for which fact he was sainted by the Holy See. We also find it stated that on or about the middle of February the Xiupercauan feasts began that were held in honor of the heathen deities, Pan and Juno, at which time it was the cms torn, amidst a variety of ceremonies, to place the names of young women in a box, from which they were drawn by the young men aa chance directed, and the result was after accepted as decisive in matrimonial matters. And tradition also has it that the Romish priest refer red to, becoming convinced that the custom was prejudicial, was zealous in overthrowing it, and that he substitu ted therefor the names of saints in bil lets on that day, who when drawn were to be regarded by the person obtaining the same as his or her patron saint throughout the year, and hence the day became St. "Valentine's day, more from accident than design. However true this may be, it is quite certain that St. Valentine's day, or the 14th of February, was early set apart by the young peeple of all civilized coun tries, and that the romance connected therewith has to a greater or less degree kept the custom from becoming obso lete. In England and Scotland to the pres ent day a ceremony is observed on the evening of St. Valentine's day very simi lar to the ancient Roman custom. An qual number of the young people of both sexes assemble at the home of one of their number for the purpose of draw ing one of the opposite sex, who. is to be his or her valentine for the ensuing year. I MS custom, a writer eiaiea, 01- ten ended in obtaining a partner for life. From the custom of choosing mates, it is believed that the ; subsidiary custom of writing love epistles took its origin. Shakespeare and Chaucer refer to the day as being duly observed by young men in the sending of courteous letters to young ladies, containing professions of attachment and good wishes for the year. This method of observing the day j soon after became very general, and con tinued ia favor for a considerable period thereafter. The day is now almost every where a ranch degenerated festival, and its approach is usually heralded by the I unnMnnra in tha ahoTvwidA wa of a CTeatl variety of ridiculously colored caricatures of the aalo aad female figure, ; with a few burlesque lines below.

A gentleman on his way home, when near the corner of Princess and Second streets, heard the peculiar ory of this bird and saw it fly from'thet Northwestern corner of "the two . streets mentioned over to premises on the opposite side of Second! and a few doors North of the corner. There it alighted when it was "chunked'' out and flew to other localities. To be Abandoned- . The .'garrison, at Smlthville, Fort Johnson,,; will be abandoned.

The Bergers and their new combina tion will give one of their chaste perfor mances in this city on Wednesday even ing. ; They have, added attractions to their already large repertoire. The Bos ton Gazette says: v The companylis unmistakably a clever one; and the charming - entertainment it gives deserves the heartiest patronage of all people of taste equally for the clever ness of the pieces, the prettiness and re finement of the music, and the admirable manner in whieh both are interpreted. The music was pure music aLd the fun clean run. Knocked Down. The horse attached o thj grocery wagon of Messrs. Holmes & Watters took fright this morning and dashed off on a rapid run. He came in contact with the lamp post in front of the site of the old Market, on which the U. S. letter box is, and broke the iron post and box. The shaft of the wagon became detached from the axle and struck Mr. C. W. Old ham a very severe blow in the side,which knocked ' him down and bruised him con siderably. Mr. Oldham was carried into Mcllhenny's drug store where he received proper attention. The wagon was badly broken and the horse bruised. Daniel Rochat.

The Baltimore American says: Her rare beauty and graceful concep tion of the part and artistic acting stamp ed her as a brilliant star in the galaxy of American histrionic artists. Miss Calhoun's reception was an ovation, and she was repeatedly called before the cur tain. At the close of the performance Miss Calhoun 'was waited upon by a num ber Of distinguished gentlemen, who con gratulated her upon her personal triumph before the most critical of all audiences.
