Charlotte has several nice young ladies abroad who have prepared themselves, and are doing much good among our people. Puck and the Boyt, Our correspondent Puck, in last week’s issue, raised some excite ment among the boys of the city. Now, we said last week, that we did not think Puck had special ref erence to any individual. At least he was not at all personal in his ar ticle, and there is no cause for any one to take offense at the letter un less his toes are mashed The in tentions of Puck are plain, timely and good. Ho has had many com-_ pliinents passed on bint in our hear ing, and some of them pretty rough. I'qek has his peouilar style for putting things, yet, as ono of the young men, wo admit that we aro not everything we might be, and as ono of thorn, we admit, that Puck is right. The objoct of Puek Is to stir the young men up to a sense of their er rors and their duty. Ifyouarenot touched don't flinch. If you are, and think injustice done you, these columns are open to all.

Oar lady readers can hardly fall to have their attention called this week to the latest com bination of improvements in that most a se fut of all domestic implements, the ' sewing machine” As we understand it, a machine for fami ly use should meet first arail these require ments: It should be simple in its mechan ism; it ahou !d run easily; it ahonld do a wide range of work; it should be as nearly noise less as possible; It should beltght, handsome, durab'e, end as cheap as is consistent with excellent throughout. There conditions the “Light Running New Home’’ cirtainly meets. It has also several very important and useful attach ments and “notions” of its own, which go far to makegood its claims to popular favor. The “New Home" specially recommends itself to pnreha era on account of Its superior mechanical construction, ease of manage ment and reasonable price. Over half a million have been sold in tbe last three years, all of which are giving universal sat iafiiction. This unrivalled machine ia man nfacactnrd by tbe NEW HOME SEWING MACHINE CO-, 30 Union Square,New York who wish us to say that *ll who will send tog their new illustratp.l catalogue and eaqlose their ad veliseiuenl (printed on another page), will receives set of fancy advretieing norel t ca of value to those co.lecting cards, Ac. THE CITY iCII 015. MEETING OF THE BOARD OF COM MISSIONERS. A Bill Adopted for Presentation to Ike Legislature, and What its Provisions Call for. An important meeting of tbe school commissioners was held at the city clerk’s <fli:e yesterday afternoon, at which all llie members, save one who was excused on hu-iiness, were present. A np dotion was adopted to tlie effect thtt the parents of all children outside the city school limits who are due for tuition up to date, be required to settle by the Ist of March or keep their chil dren at borne. A number have already paid up, but tiiere are yet many who are in arrears. It was reported to the board that the colored school children have raised quite a handsome sum of money hy subset jptions, to help defray the incidental ex|ienses of their school. The board then received and adopted the report of the committee appointed to draft a bill for lho legislature, in be half of the city graded schools. It is proper to state, in connection with the bill printed below, that by reason of tbe fact that the next session of the board of aldermen will not be held un til very near the adjournment of the legislature it was not thought advisa ble to withhold tbe bill until such a late day, and tbe bill Was nonetqnenily seut direct to tbe legislature by the' Commissioners, without having gone through the hands of tbe board of al dermen. in the discussion of the boot-1j relative to the adoption of the bilk the! fact Was brought out that the colored sell* ‘ol cau be kept up at art expense of S2,(JUO per year, without drawing upon the while taxes. The board is also of tbe opiuiou that tbe graded schools can possibly lie carried on without the ne cessity of resorting to the provisions provided by the bill, but as the legcala ture will not meet again for taro years, they teel that it is absolutely necessary to have some provision made fur the maintenance of the schools at tboptes cut session, so that iu case help might be needed, it w ill be at hand. The b*U might well be termed an emergency bill. One copy of the foliowiogbtU has been sent to each of our represent atives iu the House and Senate: The tieneral Assembly of Xorth Caro lina do Enact: Section I.
