DECAsTRo. The horrid weather had
u damaging effect upon DeCastro's
audience, last night; but the perform
ance was as good as ever. The distribu-

amusement. No. 4 drew the pig, but
declined to take it; No. 43 was then
called, when Mayor Alexander stepped
forward and took possession OF the
porker. Mr.. Wshner was the lucky
holder of No. 80. which called for $40.

the water as far as Geiger's Mill, on
Thursday, and yesterday boat loaded
with wood came down to the peniten-
tiarE.

The touch of spring with which we
were blessed during the early part OF the
week, started the peach blossoms, but
the cold, rainy. disagreeable weather OF
the past two days frightened them back.
We are highly gratiAed at being able
to state that an old acquaintance, Mr.. J.
Fl. Davis, has been added to the firm of
II. G.. SILVER & Go. Mr.. Davis is an
old Confederate aud an energetic busi-
ness man.
The valuable building lot, on the
Northeast corner OF Plain and Richard
son street. formerly owned by Mnjor
Thomas Davis, has been disposed Of
through Messrs. +. W. Seibels &c Co.,
for the snug sum of SIG, 400. There are
alleys on the North and East Sides It
is to bn hoped that the purchasers will
proceed at once and eroct hotel and
public hall

color. So the bills are light. husbands
and pas will not care much about the
color.
