Segian, Wallace left the Ab bnt Opera Company because the standard of excellence was so loywr, and she felt that she would injure her professional reputation. So she says, and she ought to know. Late foreign advices show Greece iq earnest in her war preparations. She will have 100,000 men ready for service, and tt is thought she "means business." She demands of Turkey the territory awarded her by the Treaty of Berlin. Sara Bernhardt is playing in Balti more. Her compaoy numbers thirty seven. She travels in an elegant special car most luxuriously fitted up, and comprising drawing-room, sleeping-rooms, dining-room and kitchen. The Baltimore Sun of the 29th says : "Judge Bond has ordered the Spartan burg & Asheville railroad to be sold on the first Monday ia April next. The case in which this decision, was made was tried last week in the United States Circuit Court at Charlotte, N. C. The principal question involved was whether the mortgage bonds were to be postponed to the claims of con tractors and to mechanics' Hens, which latter were filed subsequent to the execution of the mortgage deed." The big snow siorra is the talk of the papers. The following is timely from the Washington Post "A record of the weather here is not kept regularly, except at the Naval Observatory, and the observations are not complete or accurate later than the year 1867.

At a mass meeting held at Cooper Institute on Tuesday night this was accomplished. Franklin Edsen presided. Among the Vice Presidents were David M. Stone, ed itor Journal of Commerce; C. A. Dana, editor Sun; W. H. Hurlbut, editor World; iHrastus Brooks, editor Express; Wm. A. Beach, Wm. H. Appleton, Pierre Lorillard, AbramS. Hewitt, Daniel F. Tieman, Charles S. Fairchild, Simon Sterne, Wm. O. Whitney and Robert B. Roosevelt. Mr. Hewitt was ooe of the main speakers. Among other things he is reported as saying: "Neither Garfield nor Hancock had ob tained a majority of the popular vole at the late election, and he laid the Democratic defeat to the schism in the New York city Democracy. Eieven thousand votes in this city would have changed the result in the city, Slate and United States, and had the city Democracy been united more than the needed votes would have been ob tained. He repudiated Tammany Hall, and did not accept Irving Hall, but argued that a new Democratic organization should be formed out of the best elements of those factions and of those who held aloof from both." It is said Senator David Davis wishes to resign his Senatorship and be appointed on the Supreme Court Bench. We hope this will not be done. He resigned his Judgeship at a most inopportune time. If he had been on the Electoral Commission, as he would have been, probably, if he had not left the Bench, Hayes would not have been counted in by fraud. Now his vote is necessary in the Senate to checkmate Radical plans of mischief, and he wishes to resign again. To get him out of the Senate would be just what the Re publicans would like, and we have no doubt he will be returned to the Supreme Bench if he will signify his assent or desire. It id a little curious that John Sherman prefers a Sduatorship to be ing Secretary of thj Treasury, and that Senv.or Bl.iiuc prefers a Secre taryship to beiiig a Senator, if it be true that h-j will nve a plaoe in the new Cabinet. The Uichmond Dis patch does not bolievn it will bo the Secretary of Stateihip, a reported, because he is not a lawyer. It says: "Number Cabinet officer basso much valuable prtirooag at his command - the Secretary of tba Treasury; and it se- as to be understood (hat Mr. Bliioe is ' have that offlcj We saDD09e th-it is perhaps the only one which he would accept. He is not a lawyer by profession, and there fore is hardly equal to the duties of the office of Secretary of State." The Stab noted promptly the cool courage of Eagineer Wisenbury, who stood bravely at his post of great dan ger and trial. His conduct is attract ing attention beyond the Stat?. The Baltimore Gazette -says : "FT nnpri tn have fully realized bis danger, and yet be coolly remained at bis post and did all 10 b43 power to avert me rimitv Snr-h an act deserves more than simple words of praise, and we trust that this brave man win receive some more substantial recognition of his heroism." He ought to be presented by his company with a testimonial of at least $5,000. What is that sum to a prosperous railroad anyway? , The New York dry goods market is thus epitomized in a letter of the 28th: "The dry goods market remains quiet and steady. Cottons dull and firm. Shirt ing prints are in fair demand for future delivery, and agents are receiving liberal orders for dress ginghams, piques, and low grade printed lawns. Men's wear woollens quiet, but prices wen mainiameu. uaiu.o underwear is in fair demand at first hands." Dr. Schaff met with a very cordial reception in Richmond and Peters burg. He preached and leotured three times in the former city to large audiences although the weather was very severe. Spirits Turpentine. Sleighing at Raleigh on Monday. Our Raleigh namesake appeared promptly en Monday evening, after a holi day of one day.

It is as bard for us to do without the Stab aslt is to issue the New without paper. N. C. Presbyterian: Rev. A. M.

A substantial whim has been erected and the raising of ore will proba bly begin next week. We regret to say that the Rev. Chas. Phillips does not seem to improve in health since his return from the North. He is still abla to be about without crutches or cane, vet not able to resume his active duties. Elwabety City Carolinian: The The railroad is now being pushed forward rapidly. The rolling stock has been pur chased. It is surprising what an er roneous Impression exists abroad m regard to the productions and capabilities of North Carolina. It is popularly supposed io be a "land of tar, pitch and turpentine," when the fact is that at least nine-tenths of our people never saw a barrel of either outside oi a store. New Berne Nut Shell : Officer Mc- Greggor, in effecting the capture of Israel Jones (the colored burglar who broke into the store of Mr. W. F. Rountree on the night of Dec 22nd. and in endeavoring to make his escape tried to murder the faith- rui omcer with a meat knife.) has done the citizens ofNew Berne areat service. From information furnished us by a reliable par ty, we have no doubt Jones was implicated more or less in all the robberies that have occurred here for several years. Mr. Hiram Morrison, a native of Iredell county, was murdered in Mexico. The Statesville Landmark says: "A few weeks ago, according to the letter which we have mentioned, the store of which he was the proprietor and in ;which be slept, was one night burned down and in the ruins the next morning, was found the body of Mr. Morrison. Nothing positive is known to confirm the theory, but there is a suspicion that Mr. Morrison was 'rob bed and murdered and the building then fired to conceal the evidences of guilt. Statesville Landmark: It is not generally known that there is an agricultu ral association in the northern portion of this county (Eagle Mills township,) with some members in Yadkin and Davie coun ties, as well as in Iredell. We learn that a strong English company has taken hold of the Peach Bottom Copper Mines, in Alleghany county, and will go to work at onee on a large scale. It is stated that a large vein of the best of ore has already been struck. Typhoid lever or a very virulent type is raging in Alexander county, along the line of the river, with particularly fatal results in Wittenberg township. Within three weeks there have died in one family that of Mr. Cephas Bauman Mr. Banman himself, his wife and two children. His wife's grand mother, Mrs. Mollie Fry, an old lady 80 years of age, has also died, and two other children of the family are yet ill of the fe ver. It is of the same character as the dis ease which a few months ago swept away the Downs family, of Caldwell county, and is believed y the people to be contagious.

Eggs reached the un precedented price of 75 cents on Saturday. We were too fast in stating we had se cured the fast mail. It came once only, but that once was sufficient to convince the peo ple that a fast mail for Raleigh is possible. The H ayettevme liraded acnooi now has 350 DUDils and nine teachers. More than 100 of the pupils are taught the Latin aneuaze. while 30 receive instructions in Greek, Algebra and Geometry. Several fights took place on Christmas day, the most serious one occurring at tne xxorin Carolina depot. Two drunken colored men attacked a drunken white man and were . giving him "jessey," when a Mr. Bunch, with a big club, commenced play ing a holiday air upon the craniuma of the blacxs, which caused tnem to retreat nasuiy. It is conceded by all who witnessed u that the Christmas tree (or grove) of the Salisbury Street Baptist Church, at Tucker Hall, on Christmas ifive, was tne granaesi thing of the kind ever seen in the city of Raleigh. To give a faint idea of the mag nitude of the affair we state that the trees and trailing vines were hung with 2,500 cornucopias filled with candy, 700 Florida oranges, 2,000 apples.small bags containing in all a barrel of cbesnuts, candy packages to the amount of 300 pounds, and a great manv other pretty and useful things, ine most 'substantial" feature of the picture was the 500 sacks of flour and meal sitting under the trees, contributed by the mem hum nf the church for the benefit of the poor.

By to-day, if the cold weather continues unabated, skating will no doubt be in order, if some of it has not been done already. Police News.

The following is the unmailable matter remaining in the city postoffice up to this date: Mrs. Ann Dukes, Goldsboro, N. C, Robt. McCall, care A. B. Gibson. Mr. Daniel Shaw, of Pender, was on a visit to this city yesterday EXTENSIVE HTBllino. a Safe Itobber Taken Id ine Act How He Carried on His Tli levins perailoDi-Tbe Trip fiat for Him, Sce. &e. A colored boy named George Williams, ' some sixteen or seventeen years of age, was arrested yesterday morning, charged with the larop.nv of monev from Mr. Daoiel O'Connor. It Beems that Williams had been retained about the office by Mr. O'Connor for upwards of two years, being employed to do such odd jobs as sweeping out, building fires, bringing water and attending to the horse. He and his family had the utmost confidence in the boy, and he was frequently left in charge of the house. Latterly Mr. O. has been missing small articles, such as studs, cuff-pins, etc., and later still he began to miss money from his safe. He has two safes in his office, one being on the combination order and the other one of the kind operated with a key. There were two keys to this safe, and it appearsjthat Williams got pos session of one of them about the time that Mr. O'Conner moved to his present office, and during that time has been in the habit of taking money in smaller or larger quantities from the safe. Mr. O'Connor missed the money, and was in a quandary as to what had become of the safe key, as well as other keys belonging on the premises, but so great was his con fidence in Williams that he had not had the least suspicion of his being concerned in the matter. He first began to suspect him about seven days ago, when he began te set traps for him, which weie so far successful that he was convinced three or four days ago that 3eorge was the guilty party. One of the plans he adopted to make sure of the thief was to mark pieces of silver left in the safe, which would dis appear, and a day or two ago Williams ac tually took one of the marked pieces a trade dollar to Mr. O'Uonnor to get it changed. He had also noticed that Wil liams had been spending money pretty freely in hiring vehicles, and on Christmas day he sported a double team, being at the same time dressed out in floe clothing. Upon being questioned by Mr. O'Connor as to how he could afford such extravagan cies, he replied that be was la tho habit of doing some odd jobs for the keeper of the livery stable, and he let him have th teams free of charge. The livery stable man was consulted, and informed Mr. O. that Wil liams always paid fox his teams like other people. Wednesday moroiag last two dollars with private mar&s upon them ,were taken from the safe, and a pressure was brought to bear upon Mr. O. to have Williams ar rested at once, bnt that gentleman decided tht he would try one mere experiment to make assurance doubly sure that Williams was indeed the thief. He got an auger and bored a hole through the eeiling immedi ately above the safe, through which any one might be observed who attempted to open tho same. This was on Wednesday night, and early yesterday morning Mr. O'Connor's clerk, who was stationed at the hole, saw Williams come in at the front door, proceed to the safe, open it, and take something from it. The clerk imme diately notified Mr. O'Connor, and measures were at once taken for his arrest, when the sum of $1.75 in marked silver, which Mr. O'Connor had previously placed in the safe. wbs found on his person. After his arrest Williams confessed to the whole transaction, stating, however, that he had never taken more thaniivo dollars at any one time. He had duplicate keys to every door in the office, and also had one to the inside vault of the combination safei so that in case.by any accident or neglect, the outside door should be left uofastened, he could easily effect an opening of the vault. He was found to be possessed of quite an extensive and valuable wardrobe, and had, in fact, been literally "living in clover" for some time past at Mr. O'Con nor's expense. Mayor' Court. John Davis alias Tucker Townsend, ihe colored boy who was arrested Wednssday afternoon on the charge of stealing a sail cloth from the flat of one Joe Johnson, was arraigned before Mayor Fishblate, and, at the conclusion of the examination, he Was ordered to give bond in the sum of $ 50 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, in default of which he was committed to jail. Jerre M. Johnson, a very small colored boy, arrested for stealing pocket flasks from Capt. Boatwright's store, on Front street, at about 7T o'clock Wednesdsy evening, was ordered to be locked op un til further orders. Charlotte Sidbury, colored, charged with larceny, was next called, but her case was continued to some future day. Orion Lodge. At a regular meeting of Orion Lodge No. 67, I. O.O.
