That thia city is to hiive strwt cars is no luupcr a matter to I tloubtwi. The ct artvr at llrst given the street rail wav company, by the city authori ties, w.s not. by a great deal, bjitis faeiory 10 capitalists coniposiug the corap.my, The ohje;tionable fea ture, liowever, in the charter tow' granted are insignificant compared with those in the first charter. The co upany has decided to accept the terms of the amended chat ter and the street railway will be one of the intitutions of the city in the imme diate future. Within the next few days work will Begin on the tracks the Federal Court, which has just adjourned here, ha- had oue-of the busiest terms for years. There were in attendance on th's term over five hundred witnesses and more than one huudred and fifty defendants. A considerable proportion of these were found guilty and sentenced to prison fur varying terms, while those ac quitted returned to their remote mountain homes where, under the rude but picturesque sheds birth- j place of the "dew drop" they re-1 kindle the smouldering fires of the still, and continue, to the great satis faction of their fellow citizens, to produce the exhilerating and popular juice of the ''nubbin." This penchant of the mountaineer to coax into exis teuce that potent beverage of hi-, popularly known as "mountain dew," comes not t-o much from total de pravity and utter lawlessness, as it does from his misconception of liber ty. He thinks it an unbearable ex hibition of tyranny for the govern ment to limit or prescribe the dis. position he may make of his own for instance his corn. The market is distant, the road is rough, and it would take many trips to carry his corn. He could carry his whole crop, in tr e shape of whiskey, at one load, nnd he herefore often does so. J A large and elegant hotel is being built at the Sulphur Springs, four miles west of this city. This was the old ante be!lu n resort of this section, In the old large hotel which stood there before the war much of the beauty and chivalry of the Carolina, ami Georgia were to be seen indulg ing in the giiyeties of the seasons ol those old days. A western man ol large' means is rebuilding the resort. The structure and improvements are to cot4, it is said, one 'hundred thou sand dollirs. The building, four stories of brick, approaches comple t ion externally, and the walks and drives and fountains and groves which surround and adorn this place tend to show that it will be one ot the chief attractions among the mountains during the season of 87.

He is six feet, gawky, young looking, clean shav.'n, but with a face that shows that it is the index to a fund of fun that is wonderful and reinarKapie. which is better. Bill is doubtless the funniest funny man who ; to lay writes for the American press. A shooting scrape occurred on Hie str eets in the last few davs which lias een a topic of much discussion owing o its sensational features. It seems hat a countryman Hunter byname came to the city a few weeks since for the purpose 01 running a boarding house. His rather pretty daughter just budding into womanhood, was, with her bright blue eyes and coun try ways, irresistible for a certain male boarder a married man whose wife waS in another State. Thoroughly satisfied with each other they disappeared the other night The irate and distressed father heard of his daughter's and new sori-m- aw's whereabouts, a few miles from town,. nd went with the sheriff and broueht her home. A few hours later he saw his daughter's bigamistic hus- land on the street and hurrying to his room he seized a revolver and gam coming into the street began to fire upon the astonished spoiler of fe male virtue who began one of i the ia lest of retreats.. ; None of the balls took effect, and the much mar ried man escaped.
