REVIVAL MEETINGs.-The religious interest
IN this city has received new impulse during
the past week, and as no report of what has
been thus going on has appeared beyong the an-
nouncement of the meetings, it may be stated
that some time since the members of several of
the evangelical churches, feeling the need of
deeper conviction and more earnest work, de-
tcrmned to unite their efforts in a series of
meetings. The services of Rev. A. B. Earle. the
celebrated evangelist, were secured and the
meetings began one week ago yesterday in the
house of the Second Baptist society. Since then
meetings have been held twice each day in the
different churches, with marked interest and
success, While there has been little of the ex-
cltementiwhich too often attends such meetings.
there has been unusual aud very deep interest
manifested, and the meetings have so increased
in attendance that the largest church in the
city is taxed TO its utmost to hold the number
present. Some very interesting inquiry meet
ings have been held in connection with the other
services, and at each of these meetings numbers
ranging from one hundred and fifty to three or
four hundred have risen and expressed their de-
termination to become Christians, and have
asked Christians to pray for them.
On account Of the interest thus manifested
those interested in these meetings will observe
to-day as special day of fasting and prayer
for the further increase and spread of the work
now begun, and services appropriate to the oc-
casion will be held in the First Baptist church.
in the morning at ten o'clock, in the afternoon
at half-past two, aud in the evening at half-past
seven, Rev. A. B. Earle will preach at each SER
vice. Arrangements have been made, by the
provision of a large number of extra seats, for
the accommodation of at least eighteen hundred
persons.

ANOTHER CONFIDENCE GAME.-A man who
is evidently willing to run great risk for the
sake of very small reward, has been operating
in this city. He entered the store of well-known
druggist, and after pleasantly addressing the
clerk, related his story stating that fewe eve
nlngs previous he had visited the store and pur-
chased a box of trochcs, rendering in payment
two dollar bill and had received change for
only one dollar, which mistake had not been
discovered until he was quite distance from
= the store but knowing the responsibility of the
Establishment did not return to rectify the mis-
es sie, as he supposed the proprietor would do so
tak veBy time. The clerk, however, failed to
