This is the age of strange sights
and queer sounds. A young son of
Mr.. George Hope has persistently
maintained that q favorite hen laid
two eggs q day, and yesterday clear
ly proved his assertion, by bringing
in an egg-or q pair of eSsgsss--hiiaug-
ing on his finger. The white and
yolk were in different bags. but con-
hected with ligament-a Ia Siamese
Twins. The eggs can be inspected
at the store of Messrs. E. & G. D.
Hope.
The TRINITY CHURCH So1REE.
soiree of the ladies of Trinity was on
both evenings success. The most
attractive feature, excepting the fair
representatives of the beauty and
grace and zeal of our city, was the
musical enjoyment afforded by the
amateur corps of musicians, vocal
and instrumental. The fair debut
ante surprised all, by the power and
richness of her voice, and she was
fully sustained by o corps of able
performers. The youthful violinist.
Master Carri, excited admiration by
the display of musical excellence un-
usual in one SO young. He bids fair
to rival Ole Bull or Vieuxtemps. The
scene presented, taken all in all, was
a most pleasing one. The music that
filed the room-the forms that graced
the hall-the earnest spirit that con-
trolled the pious enterprise wit
that enlivened tile easy flow of con-
versation-the meeting of friends
the presence of the venerable and
esteemed pastor-the refreshments
that cheered the elmer man." and
cheered the more because of the
service that dispensed them-the
wreaths and flowers that decked the
room-all formed picture that will
long be remembered by those who
were fortunate enough to enjoy it.
We hope that the substantial fruits
Of all this will realize the expecta-
tions of the ladies. They certainly
deserve, and generally they win, suc-
cess.

the benefit of the conservative peo-
pie of the State-black and white
alike-a cheap campaign paper, de-
voted especially TO political informa-

that whites and blacks alike may
realize that the peace and prosperity
of the State depend upon the adop-
ton of the conservative principles
set forth in the platform of the De-
mocratic party of this State. He has
conferred with the State Central
Executive Committee of the party
here, and they advise that, inasmuch
as the Pheni1 is already carrying out
the views which our friends of the
upper country desire enforced, the
Weekly Cleaner, issued from this
Office, and containing the matter of
our daily issues, be directed to the
campaign purposes alluded to. He
proposes, therefore, to devote one
half of the Cleaner to political mat
