us soveral new feschanges whicli
we welcome to our sanctum,. and-wish

1W all the success the proprietors-c n
anticiipato.
First we have The Daily News, of
Charlotte, N. C., revived and now
owned and published by Messrs. Uut
son and Mtocko. I'lesc are gentle
inen of energy ond intelligence, as
well as a thorough practical knowl
edge of printing,. and no. doubt will
bring all their resources to bear upon
the one object., and that i., to make a
paper that Cliarlotto cannot afford to
be without.
And second' from Charlotte comes
'wt Daily Bulletin, a new pa per owned
and. edited by J. E. Britton, who
seems to have as much determination
in kOping up-a paper, as the cat is
reputed to have iihliving- in spite of
being hilled. The cat is said to have
nine lives.
The third upon our now list is the
Scintef/ic A merica(n, publishod by
Munn & Co,.37 Park How,New York.

Shop-lifting last Satitrday.
Quito a stir was croatod last> Satar
(lay in town by sOvoral of tho nowly
enfranchised who catno to lay in a
stock. of Christmas cfixins'' at the
store-keepres' exp,unso. Messrs. Ladd
Bros., and * Thompson. Withors &
Woodwardwero mado-the viotims of
their ompty niaws (and these wero in
the shape of bags); the formor firm re.
covering about fiftoon dollars worth of
goods, and the lAttor at least double
that amount.
As soon as tho proper authorities were
informed of tho stcaling, they sta.rted
out and nrrested'tiro of the thieves in.
town. With rapid Ispeed the two
deputies, Robert M. Bolick and Saii'l
Murphy set out inl pursuit of' the others
who were iiplicated, but by a flank
movement they mado their escape.
Yesterday, however, the unescaped,
ais supposed, Came to town to ie
what had become of the mi.sing abet
tore:, e 1l very! promptly the Sheriff
had them arreted and put "in lim
bo."
It appears from all th'at can be
gathered, that this stealing was a pre.
ime0ditateil afflir. The "chief cook
and bottle-washer!' in it, employed
tho others to coio to town for the
specilled purpose of stealing what thoy
wanted, or what they could get.
Th'e names of those already arrest
ed are, Ton.Brio, Sarah Brice, Cin.
da Brice, Mary and Georgiaiin.
In .tii connection, we, would warn
our nerebalts to provide this week
for as careful an(] profitable a watch
in their respective -ostab WillhIments,
as they have a taste in selecting a
stock of goods for this markot- If
0., do not, the amount of goods that
will be lust greatly detract from the
profits of those that may be sol.l and
s paid for.
A L aeeEiglo caught naar Yonguesville
r. L. M\obley has. laid on "Ilur
table the leg, foot antd talons of a
monster eagle captured by him near
.ongtesvillo in this District. The
eaglo measured six feet ninoinehes
front tip to tip of its wings. ThIIe
span of its terrible talons is six and a
hiai inches. Those who desire to see
for thems-:elves may call at this oflice.
It miy be remembered that about

baiting it with the wing of a gooC
which had been killed by his royal

Poisoning Yard Dloga,
We are afraid that this perIodical
mania is again approaching our com..
m uunity. If there is an exhibition of
meanness more Conteni)ll than any
other, It must be the poisoning of a
yard dog. It onghat- to. be made a
criinal offonco. For he who does it
is only skirmishing in tliat act, but he
