We understand that Mr.. Horny Harris,
who keeps shop on Hillshoro' street,
bought a quantity Of rags yesterday of u
white boy,::which turned out to be not SO
much rags as he bargained for. After the
boy had traded out his rags and left Mr.
Harris thought he would empty them and
examine them, when 10! ont rolled Il dead
infant from the bundle. Mr.. Harris did
not know the boy, nor did he notice which
way he went. And up to this time the
officers have not boon able to trace him
up.-Ral. Sentinel

We learn that the new Catholic Church
near Concord, Clbarrus county, was dedi-
Gated last Sunday, Aug. lst, by Rt. Rev.
Bishop Gibbons, in presence of an immense
number of persons from the surrounding
country.
The church is dedicated to st. James the
Apostle, and was built by tho exertions of
Rev. L. 2. O'Connell.
We understand that the members of the
Catholic Church are making an effort with
the Wow of erecting House of worship at
this place, ana if any encouragement is
given them by our citizens, they hope to
succeed. Such an institution would do
much to increase the population and bust
ness appearance of our city.
