Mrs. Clark's Concert

At the Opera House Tuesday night
was well attended. Mrs. Clark s
reputation as a music teacher gaze
expectation of rich treat, and this
expectation was not disappointed. She
certainly has happy faculty of i'm.
parting instruction, as was fully Illus
trated by the proficiency Of her pupils.
The programme of the evening in-
cluded variety Of choice selections,
beginning with magnificent tableau !;
and the large audience manifested its
appreciation by frequeu, applause.
Among 80 many performers it would
be difficult to make distinctions; but
We must give passing notice to three
little ladies-Misses Nellie Clark and
lone and Lois FAINT. Nellie is only
three, yet she plays with ease and
accuracy. Her "Pond Lily Schot-
tische" was heartily encored, and she
could not escape till she had given the
audience second performance. The
little Misses Fant played a waltz to-
gether, and played it beautifully.
Among the pieces deserving special
mention were "Wa Waves of Ocean," a
piano duet, BY Misses Beulah and
Anna Greneker "Will O. the Wisp,"
song, by Mrs. Samuels "Gently Sighs
the Breeze" a vocal duet, by Miss
Rires and Mrs. Houseal. Sweet
Home," cornet and piano, by Mr.,
Taylor and Mrs. CLARK, was excellent.
Miss Ray Foot's recitations and char
acter songs elected the highest praise,
and she was called back on the stage
several times The Concert as a whole
was very good, and would we'll bear a
repetition with a slight change Of pro-
graume

Put Her to Sleep.

Put Her to. Sleep. ....
Only BY accident have we discovered
that our friend Andrew J. Kilgore is
gifted with the wonderful power of
mesmerism. One day last week COM
ing up from Columbia, young lady
with "carroty hair, turnip nose and rad
ish cast of countenance," and dressed in
sky. blue. very incsutiously took va
cant seat offered by him. Soon they
were engaged in animated chat, which
continued for about an hour when the
young lady gave signs of drowsiness.
Our friend thereupon put forth redou-
bled efforts to entertain and keep her
awake, but the more he talked the
sleepier the fair one became. till finally
she was completely under the spell of
his magic talk and fell asleep. After
this be took another seat, giving her
room to stretch her weary limbs. He
should be more particular.

The Opera House.


Newberr7 has enjoyed a round of
amusements since the opening of the
Opera House, and the citizens of the
Town have had ar opportunity to judge
of the character and fitness of the build
ing now in all its appointments. 1t IS
certainly one of the best buildings in
the State. Every portion of it, brick,
wood. granite. roofing, &C., is of first
class material. and the work is we'll
done. There is no '.shoddy" about it.
As to the interior of the theatre, all who
have seen it know pronounceit itexcellent.
The arrangements Of parquette, dress
circle. gallery, orchestra and dressing
rooms, are beyond criticism. The gas
machine by which the hall is lighted
works admirably. The stage. with its
drop curtain, the prettiest in the State.
and its beautiful and varied scenery, is
all that could be desired. Whatever
opposition to this building there may
have been formerly has passed away,
and the whole community feels a just
pride in it's Opera House. Whether
the Town ever pay for it, or whether
Mr.. Wheeler will eventually have to
take it to satisfy his mortgage, what
difference does it make? It is here,
and will stay here for the benefit and
the pleasure of Newberry. Our opin-
ion, however, is that the Town will pay
for it, and will do so without putting
any extra burdens upon the taxpayers.

An:importahts Decision.

An:lmportaLt Decision.
Judge Pressly decided last week that
the Probate Court has no jurisdiction TO
marshal assets and sell land to pay
debts upon the complaint of a creditor.
In this case the action was brought in
1877 by creditor against the admins
trato-. and the heirs-at-law Of the intes-
tate, and the land was sold to pay debts
in 1873. The widow brought her sc-
tioa in the Circuit Court last year to
have the deed of the purchaser set aside
and for homestead. The Judge set
aside the sale for want of jurisdiction,
and gave the widow her homestead in
TIE land. The case will likely 60 to
the Supreme Court, as The matter has
never been decided by that Court. The
Supreme Court has decided that an ad-
ministrator can 60 into the Probate
Court and have lands sold to pay debts !;
but has not decided as to whether a
creditor can do so.

Signs of Spring.

Signs Of Spring.
The grain crop IS looking splendid.
Fears are entertained that it will prove
too previous and get caught by late
frosts. 49,.
A few peach trees here and there are
in bloom.
Jonquills are in full bloom; aud hya-
cinths ara vent1ring forth. :
The grass is putting on deeper
green. Early gardeners are putting in
the festive pea and the succulent beet.
The spring time is coming, gentle
Annie.
But it is too early for spring poetry
yet.

MacalIister a Fraud.
It has transpired that Macallister's

1t has transpired that Macallister's
sleight-of-hand performances on the
stage were but small part of his tricks
of prestidigitation. The biggest part
was known only to few. We have
been informed, and in such way that
we can rely upon it as fact, that bis
principal grand prizes were actually
bought by the "lucky'' parties who
drew them; in other words he sold
them out to the highest bidders. One
night the tickets 66 and 99-one Of
which had been paid for as the lucky"
ticket for the grand prize-got confused
and upset the arrangement, SO to speak;
and the wrong person got the grand
prize. The party who had paid for the
privilege of drawing it got mad, Of
course, and went for Macallister 50
earnestly that the Magician was glad to
compromise by shelling out consider
able coin to reimburse the defrauded
party and save trouble.
The small prizes, we presume. were
distributed fairly; but there is little
doubt that the grand prizes were placed
in every instance where they would do
most good-to Macallister.
1t may serve to soothe the disappoint-
ed hopes of those who didn't draw any
thing 10 know that not the fates but
Macallister was against them.

good things they may secure by sub
scribing to the Fashion Quarterly them
selves, and inducing others to do the
like. Among other novelties in the
way Of premiums, we notice choice
selection of vocal and instrumental
music, issued at forty cents per piece
one piece of which (as selected) is sent
to every subscriber without exception.
Among the premiums for clubs are
some really beautiful sets Of jewelry,
which will be sent in return for four,
six, or eight subscribers. Of course,
the jewelry is not pure gold, but the
Ehrichs say it looks Just as pretty as il
it were, and they ought to know.
The second pamphlet is entitled

ed to convey an idea of the plan and
scope of the Fashion Qs4arterly, and We
must say that if the Spring number o.
the Quarterly only carries out the prom

necessities Of housekeeping; while the
less thoughtful daughter will enjoy the
iewelry, the laces, and the knick-Shacks
for room adornment which are spread
before her. a blank form for sending
orders occupies the last page. and lt,
,ingly completes the little book.

the people wait, our advice to them is
to 90 to Mr.. NJ. L. Kinard and get a
suit of his winter stock of clothing
which he is now selling at cost to
make room for his Spring Stock, and
if there is any one who don't want or
can't afford full suit, let him get a
single garment, for now is the time.

time ne believe if the citizens only
dress we'll and possess their souls in
