The NetU Ware House. The stock

Warehouse held their meeting last
Saturday in the NeaCS building. The
Committee to select site were not
able to report definite action. Mr..
Burson as President Of the Company,
had endeavored to purchase from the
Council for ST 900 half an acre of the
meadow square, on the corner of Lee
Cumberland. This the Council de-
clned to accede to, for the reason
that it would take all the valuable
frontage of the square, at the lowest
average price which could be taken
for the whole of it and render it i'm
possible to sell the remainder of it at
sufficient prices.

A Heavy Fine for a Kiss.

At the Widnes (EngIand) Sessions t
man named Thomas Sumner, a ioine
and shopkeeper, has been charged with
assaulting a pupil-teacher named Marz
Clifford. It was stated by the girl, whl
is about Is years Of age, that as she was
going nome she met the defendant, who
kissed her and acted rudely toward her.
She told him that she would tell his wife.
and he replied that he wished she would.
The bench told defendant his conduct
had been ]isgraceful, and it was well fol
him that charge was not preferred
against him of a more serious character,
or he would have been sent to jail. AS
it was, they would fine him $50 and costs,
and he would also be bound over to keep
the peace for six months.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The question whether members Of the Re-
publican National Committee come within the
scope of the recent order of the President for
bidding all Government officials from having
any connection with political organizations was
discussed at Cabinet meeting in Washington
the other day. It was decided that members
of the above-named committee who are in the
employ of the Government must resign from
one of their positions. The conversation be-
tween the President and Gov. Mccormick, from
which different opinion resulted, was wholly
of 8 casual nature, and not of decisive char
acter.
In the New Hampshire Legislature the other
day, majority and minority reports were made
by the Committee on National Affairs. The
majority report set forth that Hayes was elect
ed President by the people, and SO declared by
the Electoral Commission, and that any move
ment to reopen the question would be both
mischievous and contrary to public interests,
etc.: the minority report recited the with
drawal of troops from South Carolina and
Louisiana, and approved the Presidents
course, etc. The majority report was adopted.

Ten Thousand Dollars for Drink o.
Water.

In one of the hotly-contested fights in
Virginia, during the war, Federal Of
ficer fell in front of the Confederate
breastworks. While lying there,
wounded and crying for water, a Con-
federatesoldier James Moore, of Burke
Countys an. CO., declared his intention
of supplying him with drink. The bul-
lets. were flying thick from both sides,
and Moore's friends endeavored to dis
suade him from such a. hazardous en-
terprise. Despite ren1onstrancef and
danger, however, Moore leaped the
breastworks, canteen in hand, reached
the wounded enemy and gave him drink.
The Federal, under a sense of gratitude
for the timely service, took out his gold
watch and offered it to his benefactor,
but it was refused. The officer then
asked the name OF theslnan who had
braved such danger to, sueeor him. The
name was given, and Moore returned
unhurt to his position behind the en-
bankment. They saw nothing more of
each other. Moore was subsequently
wounded and lost a limb, in one of the
engagements in Virginia, and returned
to his home in Burke County. A few
days ago he received communication
from the Federal soldier. to whom he
had given the "cup of cold water'' on
the occasion alluded to, announcing that
he had settled on him the sum of $10,-
600, to be paid in. four. annual Install
