- In Charlotte, on Tuesday night of last
week, the alarm of fire was made, and it was
soon ascertained that the house in the rear of
Mr.. James Hartys China Store was on fire.
Through the exertons of the citizens, the fire
was extinguished before much damage was
done. No fire had been in the building for
the past two years, therefore it was supposed
to be the work of an incendary. The May
or of Charlotte has offered reward of 500
for the apprehension and conviction of the
incendiary. There was in the house at the
time of the fire about $4,000 worth Of prop.
erty belonging to Mr. Harty and others.
Says the Southern Home of the 23d Gan
unfortunate alteration between Robert Smith,
son of S. P Smith, and Glmer Brenizer, son
of Capt A. G. Brenizer, both of Charlotte, oc.
Cured last week on the premises of DR.. 1. w.
Heron, of Steele Creek. The parties are
each about 16 years of age, and pupils
of Steele Creek Academy. 1t seems that
young Smith commenced to tease Brenizer in
play, but kept it up rather long. Several
blows passed, and it ended in young Brenizer
striking him blow across the head with a
stick, which came very near being fatal. We
are glad, however, to learn that Mr.. Smith
has about recovered from the effects of the
blow.
