labor troubles had extended to the Erie,

BILE outcome of the conference OF railroad
officials at Chicago, together with the
rather disappointing report OF earn
ings from their quarter, created n de-
preston in the market. Later in the
day it was announced that
there was 4 brighter prospect for an agree
ment at the Chicago conference and the
market responded quickly. The opening
was strong, first prices generally showing
advances of from to J over closing figures
Saturday. The features of trading were
New England, Texas Pacific, Western
Union, and Pacific Mail. They were
all strong except the last, and the general
market firm. Before noon, however,
it began to yield, and Reading became
prominent. The decline continued with
q comparatively quiet tradeing until the
last hour, when the entire list rallied and
the market closed firm at regular changes.

are in the majority. Pacific Mail is

THE PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT.

THE PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT.
The Amateur Comedy Company
which had been held in the leash
for long time, was liberated on the
evening of Easter Monday to its
own relief and the immense pleas
ure of the public. AS the perform.
ance was in full progress at the time
we went to press, we will not anti
cipate the course of events. II will
be enough here to say that a full
house rewarded the enterprise; and
the elaborate programme gave prom
ise of rich fund of entertainment.
A glance at the programme de-
veloped at once the general and in
tense interest taken by our citizens
in the occasion. Neither age nor
office, nor cares of business excluded
the general tender. of service, talent
or accomplishment to the general
fund collected for the delight of the
many; as an illustration OF which,
our grave and portly Mayor was
billed for "Song and Dance" pro-
wing how ready he was to contribute
his mite; the Chief of Police was
entered for a Song, "Call me back
again." his dulcet and bird-like
voice being a free-will offering to
the general stock; the stately Adju-
tadt General Jones, aad the digni-'
fed Shuford, Judge of the Inferior
Court, obliyious of military para
phernalia or judicial robes, made
themselves lovely in the innocent
role of "the Babes in the Wood and
so on through a long catalogue of
our most worthy worthless many
of whom came before the public for
the first time in such connection.
and all in the discharge of a notle
public duty. At least the pro-
gramme led US to expect this fea-
ture and it is the printers faith
that types do not lie. Reviewing
the incidents of last evening, one
may know whether they did lie or
not.

A CHANGE OF OFFICE-FRUIT Pros
PECTs.
Mr.. J. B. Freeman informs us that
ne has changed his Office from Fair
View. Buncombe county, to Fruit
land, Henderson county, having
severed to great extent from the
stock business to that OF fruit. He
is the purchaser. of large apple
and peach orchards at Fruitlands.
There, his peach crop of this year is
a dead failure. About half his apple
trees will be in full bearing He
says his peach orchard at Chimney
Rock is well fruited. There he has
one hundred acres in peach trees,
the product of which is made into
evaporated fruit. In the season he
brings into use seven or eight evap-
orators, and employs from 35 to 40
hand from period of from six to
eight weeks.

FRAUDULENT BUTTER.

FRAUDULENT BUTTER-
Mr.. James H. BeaH, President of
the American Agricultural and Dai-
ry Association, addresses a letter to
Mr.. Jordan Stone, Secretary of the
w. N. G. Fair Association, asking
the cooperation of the Association
t. secure legislation by Congress on
fraudulent butter. This is a grea..
evil, and one that demands remedy,
and if cooperation will effect any,
thing, it win be very cordially CIV
en-. But the evil is not experienced
in any harmful degree here. Our
people are too unsophisticated to
resort to fraud, and we grieve to say,
somewhat too unthrifty to produce
very much of the genuine article.
We are sure that just at this
present, there be many who would
welcome fraudulent butter rather
than have none at all. But this
section could furnish a surplus of
the genuine if it would make up its
mind to do so.

There is some excitement here on the
liquor question, and we have no doubt
but the town will go "Wet" June 1st, as
our city cannot afford to force o VIsi.

luxuries. They knew it would be suicidal
to the well being OF the town and not
stop the use of liquor by voting it dry.

the mails from the break at Dark
Ridge to Whittier, on a hand car,

This is the colored Episcopal

Gates real spiritual growth. The
church building has recently been
remodeled and improved and now
presents q very neat and churchly
appearance. A notable innovation
in the mode of worship is the intro

The music rendered by them, the
result of the patient training of Mr..
Massiah, is very pleasing and help

leading to false ideas of what religion
is.
