Homes Wanted for the Kittens.

There lies six kittens on the mat,
Their mother is our Maltese cat;
She had them nicely hid away
Behind the barn. till Yesterday
There came man to get some straw.
He turned them out of house and home,
And took their nest to make his own.

To make my wife feather bedD
Iput the kittens in my hat,
Excepting one, puss carried that
She picked it mp right BY its neck
You'd think 'twould hurt; it don't speck,
We took them in and put them all
Behind the stove, on mamma's shawl.

To sweep the floor and brush the room.
Here's one OF Master Charley's tricksI
My grief! one, two. three, four, i've, ski

And then called mamma in to see
"What fun we'll have when they can playp'

Enough 10 scare away the rats
And eat the mice-with two to spare
Nine eats. why Charley, declare
We'd have to buy some rats and mice
For them to hunt-that would be nicew
And then she smoothed the kittens fur,
And said as they began to purr,
.sMy little cats-it is too bad
sril have to speak to Joe. the lad
Who feeds the horses and brings in wood
And eats more mince pie than he should.
''What will he do with them?" criedI
My mamma drew little sighl
But Maggie seemed in quite glee:
''They drown quite aisy," dear, said she,
''Tied in q bag with stone and stringv,
And then she laughed-the wicked thing!

My kittens from a watery gravel

To part with them, if can find

And run about the house all day;
And when they want some milk to eat.

The HANOVER ARSON AND ROBBERY
Jim Davis and William West (negroes)
were again arraigned before the Mayor
Yesterday on the charge of robbing the
barn of Mr.. T. F. billiard, and burning the
barn of Judge Meredith on the night of the
I'd of January.
Judge Meredith testified that his barn
was burned down on the night Of the I'd /;
and with all its contents, consisting of corn,
tobacco, cotton, wheat, and farming imple-
ments, was entirely consumed.
Nathan Bowles repeated his testimony
given on the second calling of the case ;
and having been sent to Judge Meredith's
farm, said that he recognized it as the same
place he had gone to with West, and that
the barn which was there when he visited
| it had been entirely destroyed.
Judge Meredith said that West had con-
fessed the robbery to him, but denied
having fired the barn.
Mr.. Hatcher being questioned by Judge
Meredith, said that he had received 421a
bushels of corn from West on the morning
of the Sd of January, for which ne paid
$l.O5 per bushel. The market price at
that time was $1.1S. He did not suspect
that there was anything wrong about the
sale.
There being no other witnesses present
the case was continued until this morning,
and the prisoners remanded to Jail.

LOCAL MATTERS.

How THE CITY CARES FOR HER Poor
At the last meeting of the Common Coun.
Gil the Committee for the Relief of the
Poor submitted (throngh the chairman,
Colonel T. P. August) very interesting
report. 1t seems that there has been q
constant and steady increase of inmates OF
the alms-house during the past month, and
the number is now larger than it has been
at any time since the institution has been
returned to the control of the city. There
are now 1l8 inmates, an increase of six
per cent. during the month Of December
Considering the bad weather and unusual
restitution, this is probably not so great
an increase as might have been expected
1t is reasonable, too, to expect much
larger increase during the winter.
The committee report that in comfort,
cleanliness, and general appointments, the
alms-house will compare favorably with
any similar institution in the country. 1t
stands speaking monument of the deep
concern of the city for the suffering poor.
1t is not to be denied, however, that many
will not avail themselves of the comforts
here afforded them, either preferring to
subsist upon private charity or held back
by the idea that an alms-house is some-
thing degrading or. diShonorable. Yet
they do not hesitate to beg from door to
door. The ordinance in regard to the lat
ter class has not been strictly enforced.
Another class Of poor is composed OF
persons needing assistance, but not help
less as to be fit subjects for the alms-house.
These have been aided heretofore by sup
plies of provisions purchased by order OF
the Council, distributed through the agency
of visitors. The Council should deter
mine whether this class does not call more
loudly than ever for relief, and in what
manner the relief shall be afforded.
The report of DR.. Thomas, physician to
the alms-house, states that the hospital ar
rangements embrace separate wards for
men and women, and nursery for orphan
children, or such as are old enough to be
separated from their parents. The chill
dren have appropriate nurses assigned
them from the inmates, and all are under
the supervision Of the hospital matron.
During the year there have been four
births and seventeen deaths. Three hum
dred and twenty-eight cases of disease
have been treated. In March last the
largest number OF patients was received
four hundred and seventy-fVe in hospital,
and six hundred and sixty-seven in quar-
ters.
The alms-house for the colored poor is
progressing as rapidly as the state of the
weather will allow, and will probably be
finished by the lst proximo.

ANNUAL MEETING OF PLANTERS BANK
The annual meeting of the stockholders Of
the Planters National Bank was held at
their banking house On yesterday. R. H
Maury was appointed chairman and John
NJ. Goddin secretary.
Mr.. S. G. Robinson, the president of the

should decline a reelection.
It was resolved to reduce the number OF

farland, S. C. Robinson, William S. Don
nan, Lewis Fl. Frayser, George S. Palmer,
John T. Sublett, N. NJ. Wilson, John a.
Belvin, and J. B. Dupuy.
Mr.. Belvin moved that as Mr.. William
II. Macfarland was evidently the unani-
nous choice of the stockholders for pre-
sident, committee be appointed to wait
upon him and invite him into the meeting.
Messrs. Belvin and Donnan were ap-
pointed, and subsequently returned, &C
companied by Mr.. Macfarland, who ad-
dressed the stockholders, and signifed his
willingness to accept the position.
The Board of Directors met soon after,
and unanimously elected him president.
