The sessions of the two Courts, Su preme and Superior, attracts a crowd of vi-itora to the city and gives to the streets a lively appearance. A small one room shanty, in the southern extremity of Eastern Ward, burnt up Mondsy night. It was unoc cupied and no alarm was given. A good Book-keeper, one who is thoroughly acquainted, both by capac ity and experience, desires a permanent situation. See notice elsewhere. Joseph Archer, ot the well known Hardware House of Meade, Orr & Co., of Petersburg, Va., is in the city on business connected with his firm. We are glad to hear that the indispo sition of W. II. Jones, Esq,, noticed in our last issue, was not so serious as first repbrted. He is now walking about and hardly feels the effects of the attack. We were pleased to receive calls yes terday from our young friends F. A. Woodard and John W. Blount, Esqs., of Wilson,- who have just been granted license to practice law by the Supreme Court. ... Mr. W. C. Morgan, of Zane6ville, Ohio, is at the Yarborough House. Mr. Mor gan is here in the interest of Blandy's Steam Engine Works. Zanesville nianu facturerers are well known throughout the South. Christmas was observed all over the country. A sweeping change has come over the country respecting this holiday such an one as would astonish the old settlers, could they see it. It is a change vastly for the better. The editor of a state exchange says : "We expend $500,000,000 yearly for liquor for drinking." And his paper has a circulation ot only seven hundred copies, too We don't see any use in a man exaggerating that way, even if he is an editor. Salt is a capital material for keeping beef, pork, butter and sundry other matters and things sweet ;,but it isn't worth a cent for preserving ice on a side-walk. We have seen it tried a great many times and it always proved a failure. A trrand sale of uicturcs is to take place in this city, and $950 ; worth of presents are to be given in connection therewith. No. 14. Favetteville street. over Pescud, Lee & Co.'s Drug Store, is to be the scene ot this- astonishing operation. Be on hand. Deatii in Battleboko. We are pained to learn of the death of Mrs Alice McGuire. wife of Mr. R. H. Mc- Guire, cf the Battleboro Advance, and daughter of Henry G. Williams, Esq., of Battteboro. winch sad event occurred at the residence of Mr. Williams on last Friday. The deceased lady was young, amia-. ble and greatly beloved. We deeply sympathize with the bereaved family. RALEIGH, N. 0.. Meeting of the Board of City Commissioners. Pursuant to adjourn ment, the Board of Commissioners met Monday evening. Present : W. Whitaker, Mayor, and Messrs. Battle, Ellison, Dunston, John son, Churchill and Upchurch, commis sioners. The petition of Mr. He well was read and discussed and, on motion of Mr. Battle, the following ordinance was adopted : " No new blacksmith shop, erected nearer than 30 feet from any building in the city limits, shall operate until further orders from this Board," Mr. Battle also moved that a Com mittee of three be appointed to report to the next .regular meeting a general ordinance to govern the whole question. Adopted. The Mayor appointed Messrs. Battle, Johnson and Ellison. On motion of EllisoD, col., a com mittee of two,, with the City Attorney, was appointed to co operate with a committee ot the State Agricultural Society, in laying off into lots the old Fair Grounds and to see that the streets so laid off shall correspond with the streets of the city ; and said committee, on the part of the city, are instructed to see that the moneys arising from the sale of said lots be appropriated to establishing the new Fair Grounds, and said committee was authorized to call into service the City Surveyor in laying off said streets. The Mayor then ap pointed, on behalf of the city, Messrs. Albert Johnson and StewTart Ellison. The City Tax Collector was ordered to proceed with the collecting of city taxes according to law. The petition of W. H. Bagley & Co., for liquor license was granted. The expenses of the' city for the month of December, 1872, amounting to $2, 435.09, was ordered to be paid. Several crossings were petitioned for, and the Street Commissioner was or dered to lay off the following: On Hillsboro street, near the store of Albert Johnson ; on Cabarrus street, near the' store of Samuel Merrill; on Wilmington street, near the City Hotel ; and also to repair a bridge on Lenoir 6treet, in the Eastern Ward, near Mr. Bryan's. On motion of Ellison the follow ing resolution was adopted : Jiesolved, That the Treasurer is au thorized to issue $6,000 in three year's bonds, under the same regulations as those already issued, lor the purpose of payiug the necessary expenses of the city. On motion the Board adjourned. Supreme Court. This tribunal met yesterday but triiusacttd no business save the examination of applicants of lieense to practice law.

Premiums Offered. We cannot take up a State or any other paper that we do not see blazing announcements of "premiums offered." Some a sewing machine lor the person sending a club of so many subscribers; others a "beau tiful chromo" for a smaller number, &c. Being constaiitly reminded of the sub ject, byjthese blazing announcements, we too propose the following premiums : First, to any Wake county nun .en gaged in the wood trade who cannot conscientiously sell rotten, worthless stuff for " first class wood, seasoned under cover, ' and who won't always take pains to put the few sound sticks there may ie in the load, outside. A second premium is offered to the man, who will not sell a thirteen year old, starved to death, dead hen as a spring chicken, and beef that comes; right out from under a stag's yoke as sirloin beef from a two year old heifer. When these premiums are taken up, we'll offer one lor a hen's jruv tooth, or an honest of fice holder. 1 Let it be Done. We hear it sug gested by business men of the city that the present Court House is much too small for Court purposes and that an addition must be made to if. Further more, it is proposed to mc ve the jail on a lot in the rear of where it now sets and west of Salisbury street, and then move the Court house just on a line with the Engine house.' This will give a beautiful lawn in front of the Court house, and so. alter the appearance of things that one would not believe it the same olace. Then there could be the necessary sewerage from the jail, some thing so much needed. All this can be done for less than four thousand dollars and not jar a brick. So says Mr. O. R Smith, the great house rnovist. By all means, we say, let it be done just lm agine the new Post Office on one side, the Masonic Temple on the other and the Yarborough House, vhen completed, in front. Factories.

Manly, C Morgan, Paschall Evans, R Malvin, John Rhodes, James Weathers, A H Davis, Dan Tucker, Oliver W Roane, Geo. Lee, Isaac Hunter, James Doyle, Sylvester Dunston, Henry Hunter, Mur ray Smith, Mac Smith and E D Haynes. In several -petty cases a nol pros was entered, and in several others defendants submitted and judgment was suspended on payment of costs. The Court adjourn till 2:30, p. ra. - EVENING SESSION. Court met at 2 o'cloc, Te case of the State vs. Calvin Adams, colored,tor affray and assault and battery, was the only Jury case tried. A verdict of not guilty was returned. Several other cases were called, and judgment ni si entered against both principals and securities where the parties failed to answer. " On, Vare 1 On, Yare ! Isn Mink LeetleDorg Gone?" A ycung gen tleman of this city, (well, not so ouncr either,) lelt Henderson Monlay moai ing, in company with a long, keen nose, slim bodied, slick tailed grey hound purp. The Conductor objtcted to his being transported in the passenger car, and our young, or rather medium aged friend, transfered his tender charge to the kindly care of Theodore Joseph, the mail agent. Arriving at Franklinton, our young, or rather medium aged friend, dis embarked from the train to speak to a lady acquaintance. The purp heard the voice of his master on the outside, and at once plunged through the mail coach door. The persuasive dog eloquence of the young,or medium aged friend,with the Dutch accompaniment ot Theodore Joseph, to persuade the " purp " back, was enough to make a dog laugh, but the last seen of the purp, he was travel ling in a 'opposite direction from the departing train, with head erect and his tail likewise. Complaint. The following commu nication explains itself. In our various business connections with the post office in this city we Inve always found the clerks and officials prompt and effi cient in the discharge of their duties, and in sheer justice we venture our honest and candid conviction that the fault is not with the nrfice in this city, but it is somewhere, and the evil should be lenicdied : Ca'pt. E. C. Woodson, G ity Editor D.iihj Xeics : On tiie 23rd day of Dec. List' I mailed letter in the Raleigh post-oliiee, di rected to E. G. Hill, Esq., Smithfitld, Johnson county, N.

In November last I had three letters detained on the same route lor ten davs. The distance is only thirty miles. there no remedy lor this negligenee ? R. T. Laswell. City Improvements. Everywhere in the city improvements are visioie. New building arc going up on vacant ots, and old buildings bein n-paired and removed. At no period in our history has-as much life, activity and general prosperity shown itself as at present. , Ot the various building now in pro cess lof erection we have noticed, parti- cularly.that ot Mr.Mort Flemming,ol the Raleigh & Gaston railroad, on Eden ton street, built in accordance with the very latest style of architecture, and one of the neatest, and cheapest buildings for a small family we have yet seen, s Mr. Flemmiug is a Warren county man. rue timber in the building was grown in Warren county, and a Warren county man, (J. S. Allen,) is the buil der. , Temperance. We are not a tem perance man in a strict literal sense, but a firm advocate of the principle, and therefore call the attention ot ;young men to the following exhibit fur their own good : Three drinks a da v. at lo cents a drink, will cost 45 cents a day, or $3.15 a week, including Sundays, or $12.00 a month, or $151.20 a year. Three "good" cisars a dav will cost the same. At the end ot the year, what has the moderate drinker and moderate smoker to show for his monev 1 The amount wasted for these dangerous luxuries (?) would pay the premium on a very handsome life insurance policy. That Cradle. Walking along Fay ettevillc street yesterday, in company with a friend, we halted in front of Morris' Furniture warehouse, where our friend desired to examine a new style swinging cradle that was oh exhibition in front of the door. He was much taken with it, thought it a good trick, wanted to purchase, and asked our opinion con cerning it. As it was entirely out of our line we confessed our - ignorance ol "how the old thing worked," but was relieved by the appearance of Mr. Mor- riss, who informed our friend that the cradle was sold4 having been ordered expressly for a Raleigh editor. We pro claim our innocence. Wilmington Life Iksurakce Com pakv As will be seen by a change in the advertisement cf the Wilmington Life Insurance Company, Dr. A. J.
