Three months II is since thus thought,

But Gunther said my eyes were sallow,

Quite nuisance, and strongly insisted. ..

Four bottles now beneath my vest have dissp-

SHOOTING MATCH.-On the Central rail-
road, at Beaver Dam station, few days
ago a freight train was detained at night
and some Of the negroes on one Of the cars
made good deal of noise-so much as to
prevent fireman on the train from sleep

several warnings, took musket and fired
through the door. The piece was loaded
with bird-s6ot, and about half dozen me-
groes got peppered, three Of them being

LADIES FAIR-SECoND PREsBYTERIAS
CHURcH-ACKSowLEDG ladies
of the sewing circle of the Second Presby-
terian church received from several bust
ness parties in this city such substantial aid
at their recent fair that they feel 1t due
TO them to tender through the daily papers
their grateful acknowledgements.
Franklin Stearns, ESQ.,, generously gave
them, free of rent, the use Of one of his
large rooms in the block Of buildings oppo-
site the post-office, and which they occu-
pied for q week. .e...
Finding it expedient to move higher up
the city, Robert A. Paine procured from
William F. White, Esq, the use of large
lower story room at No. s19 Main street, and
upon the same liberal terms.
Messrs. John & George Gibson furnished
tables, made in the nestest style, and ac-
cording to the plan designed by the
ladies'. Mr.. Bowers, Of the firm Of Yale,
Bowers & Co., put them up coal and gas
stove, and all necessary chandeliers. The
Jacobs we'll was made by Rogers & Miller
from their best marble, and Che little wind
lass was az complete and beautiful little
piece of machinery as ever left Mr.. Hiram
II. Smiths extensive workshops. Wilson
& Martin prepared suitable transparency
Kellogg & Gibson supplied all needful
china and glassware, and from the gardens
Of Allan s. Johnson the room was hand
somely decorated with flowers, in stands
and in bouquets.
Repeated favors were shown them from
the polite clerks at the Spotswood Hotel
and Express office. Messrs. Cardozo,
Allsop s. Fouquerean presented handsome
broche shawl valued at twenty dollars,
and Mr.. George W. Gillian large
lot OF tobacco of the well-known brand,
Swine Sap" To each and all of these
gentlemen and to the D. p. the ladies pre-
sent their thanks, and wish them most
abundant success in all their business rela-
tionS.
Valuable boxes were received from
sympathising friends in Pennsylvania and
in Washington city, which added most
materially to the variety and intrinsic
worth of the articles offered for sale.

THE OPERA CONCERT TO-NIGHT.-To-
night Growers Concert Company will give
the first of their concerts at the Theatre,
and, from the rapidity with which seats
have been sold, we judge they will be
greeted by full house. The programme
is varied and presents many attractions,
chief among which is the Garden act from
Faust, which will be given with the finest
caste with which it can be produced in this
country. Wherever they have been
throughout the South, the Grover compa-
ny are very highly spoken of, and each ar
tist comes in for great share OF praise.
Madame Frederick is spoken of as possess
ing great power and solidity, an excel
lent riJrato in her voice, and an excel
lent actress. Marguerite is her original role,
in which she excels. Fraulcin Clara
Lang, we read, has an elevated soprano
voice, and merits great admiration for the
excellent culture Of her vocal attainment.
Of Mr.. Hcrmans, we could hardly llnd
room to repeat all that we do hear. de IS
said to bc one of the finest bassos in the
country, and inimitable in the difficult
part of Mephistophiles. One of our ex-
changes, in an able criticism upon Susinis
rendition of that role, says that Hermans
is the only perfect Mcphistophilcs in the
country. With Habclmar1 many OF us are
familiar, and we will greet with pure JOY
tho sound of his rich, sweet tenor voice.
Formes and Himmer are both first-class ar
lists, and Grosscurth is very much ad-
mired pianist. We feel assured that
enough has been said to convince our
readers of the great merits of this COM
pany, and that no one will doubt but that
they are worthy Of the liberal patronage
of an enlightened community like ours.
