The Tuesday and Friday even
ing dances at Battery Park are very
enjoyable, and largely attended.
The hours are from 8 to II. Those
in the city who attend are requested
to reach the hotel earlier than here
tofore, so the pleasures OF the even
ing may not be postponed to too
late an hour.
An excursion train, consisting OF
ten coaches, from Augusta, Ca, and
Charleston, S. c., arrived in the city
at II o'clock last night. The train
brought many of our friends fro n
"across the border" who will spend
to-day in viewing the magnificent
scenery, and enjoy the pure air OF
our Switzerland Of America" and
our Eden of North Carolina. To one
and all we give a cordial welcome.
The unloading of rotten water
melons and decayed fruit at the
Western North Carolina depot
should be looked into by our health
officers at once. A case that de-
manded their attention was the load
of decayed melons which was re-
ceived at the depot in this place
yesterday morning. The health OF
our city cannot be too 0igildntly
guarded at the present period.
We learn that the hotel at Alex>
ander's, ten miles below AsheYille,
is crowded with guests, and that ac4
commodations have been bespoken
for six families, in addition, from
Charleston, S. c., for the remainder
of the season. This is most de-
lightful summer resort, and is SO ac-
cessible by its three trains a day
each way, that its merits. are sure
to be found out and appreciated.
