We were pleased to receive a call from Col. J. M. Heck, of Raleigh, on Saturday, on his way home from the Baptist State Convention. The Wil mington Star says : "Cl. J. M. Heck and his son-in-law, W. H. Pace, Esq., of Raleigh, are in the lead of all the important matters of the Convention, aiff are liberal in their wealth to its obiecrs."

It will be a rare musical and literary treat. The patrons and friends of the school are specially invited to at tend. Smithfield Herald: Near Smith held on Friday night about 7 o'clock, demons in human form set fire to J. W. Avera's gin house and entirely destroyed it, damage at least :$2,000. Wo denounce this mean, low, cow ardly act in terms of bitterest male diction, and we insist it is the duty of every good, honest, and law-abiding citizen in this section to aid Mr, Avera in ferreting out those villians, and brinjr their necks to the halter. No community is safe when such are allowed to infest it with presence. o-li News and Observer men their The The charming Miss Kate Castleton will appear at the Opera House in this city on Tuesday' the 30th inst., and we can promise our theatre-eroine- friends one of the most eniovable en tertainments of the season. The Bos ton Herald says : "A company, headed bv Miss Kate Castleton, under the management of Mr. Harry Phillips, appeared at the Globe Theatre last evening in an ex emplification of literary lunacy called lhe piece, as mav almost be inferred from its title, is another of those absurd theatrical con coctions which have been so success ful in pleasing audiences the past few seasons, it has a semblance of a plot, but it isof minor importance, and so modest that it does not intrude it self much, and after the first scene it is not missed, or, indeed, needed. Burlesque, farce, comedy, music and variety business77 are all mixed m this concoction, but the mixture was swallowed by the audience of last evening with apparent relish, and produced an exhilarating effect. The company is one of the strongest that has been seen here in a piece of this kind. Besides Miss Castleton, aprettv and pleasing soubrette, there are five comedians, a soubrette and an eccen tric old lady. These performers would have made even a much poorer piece a success; since each of them has so much that is amusing in the way of specialties to add to the general fund of merriment. Miss Castleton, as a bashful young maiden, acted with a grace and coyness which charmed her audience, and her singing, especially in her topical songs, was encored again and again. The music of the piece was carefully selected and well sung, both the solos and concerted pieces winning and deserving heartjT applause. A better pleased audience has not been seen in the Globe Thea tre this season. The laugh excited by the absurd manner in which the piece opens echoed and re-echoed with varying degrees of loudness during the entire evening, and until the cur tain fell on an ending even more ridiculous than the opening.

Editor of Messenger: Allow me through your paper to express my thanks to the Democrats of Wayne and Duplin, who supported me in past election, as the representative of their party and principles, and to pledge an honest purpose and an earnest effort to promote the interest and welfare of the people of the counties I expect to represent in the next .Legislature oi assessing, equalization and collection of taxes, and also tor tne saie oi reai and personal property for taxes, and such other subjects in regard to taxa tion that they may deem proper for theioest interests of the State." A sad and fatal accident hap pened to a young lad named James Burrows, whose father lives on the Tobe Lewis farm in Saulston town ship, on Thursday last. It seems that "he, in company with two other young men, was out bird shooting in Dr. Spicer's rice field, when his gun ex ploded, 'caused by an overcharge. The breech end of the barrel struck him with such force just above the right eye that the skull was crushed, and the breech-pin driven into his brain. Dr. R. A.

The pulpit of the Baptist church was occupied yesterday by Mr. W. H ooutn. ieanuness,na home com forts are leading feures of the Ar lington, while the oing room and kitchen under the siBrvision of that excellent caterer, Ir. King, add largely to the repution and popu larity of the House. There will be Tmksgiving ser vices in the Methoct Church and also, we presume, i the Episcopal Church, next Thursdr morning. The pastors ot the Baptisand Presbyter ian Churches are oubf the citv and we are not informedhether or not Osborne, editor of the Shelby Aurora, they, or either of the, will return in who has decided to enter the ministry. Mr. J. A. Williams, Jr., of the Live Stock Journal, Asheville, passed through the city this morning upon his return from the Fairs of Eastern Carolina. With the hope that some one may be led to investigate and arrive at our conclusion, we will again remark that we believe a canning factory in Golds boro will pay. Articles for exhibition at the Col ored Fair will be received to-day and to-morrow in the corner store of the Opera House. We hope to see a large and creditable exhibition at the Fair. The Devil" was the subiect of Rev. Dr. Burkhead's discourses yesterday, at St. Paul Church. His "existence and origin" was considered in the morning and his "character and works" in the evening. The colored Fair will be formally opened at 12:30 o'clock next Wednes day, with an address by Rev. Thos. Dixon, Jr. The Fair will continue until Friday evening. A big crowd is expected on Thursday. Mr. Sam. W. Dixon, of the South ern Express Co.. passed through the city a few days since with his bride, nee Miss Hattie Haillee, of Florence, S. C, en route to a visit to Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Whitaker, at Durham. The freight train on the Richmond & Danville Railroad leaves here now at 8:30 a. m. and arrives at about 9 p. m., and has passenger coach at tached. There are now three trains daily, except Sunday, over this road. Messrs. Rumsey Bros., of West field, N. Y., will have on exhibition at the Colored Fair this week the fine herd of Devon cattle that was so much admired at the late Fair of the Eastern Carolina Fair and Stock Association. The dedication of the new Syna gogue in this city is to take place the 31st of December, and our Hebrew citizens are making great prepara tions for celebrating the event in a becoming manner. The handsome edifice is indeed a credit to their small congregation. Mr. James Norwood, of Orange county, one of the most progressive farmers of the State, passed through this city this morning, on his return from the Eastern Fairs. Mr. Norwood makes a handsome sum every year by exhibiting his superior products at the various Fairs of the State. The absence of Railroad depot fa cilities in this city have long been complained of. It is now suggested that the Roads combine and erect an iron structure of ornamental architec ture oyer the tracks in front of the Opera House. If assurances were given that the place would be properly policed the proposition might be con sidered. The Messenger office gives em ployment to twenty-two men, and is one of the largest industrial establish ments in Goldsboro. The Rice Mills, the Oil Mills, Dewey's Machine Shops and O'Berry's Plaining Mills are enterprises that Goldsboro should feel proud of. They furnish employ ment to a large number of worthy people. The many friends of Rev. Dr. Robey, were pained to learn of the death of his estimable wife, which occurred at their home in Charlotte last Friday morning. Many hearts here sympa thize deeply with the family in their sad bereavement the loss of a de voted wife, and a fond mother. May the hope of a re-union beyond the shadows of this life soothe them in their sorrow. That old and esteemed citizen, Col. J. J. Baker, whose death we recently chronicled, was insured in that excel lent and popular company the Life Insurance Company of Virginia, and on Friday last Mr. T. H. Bain, the Company's agent at this place, re ceived from the Company a check for the amount of policy which was deliv ered to the family. No company do ing business in North Carolina has a more enviable reputation for liberal rlealine1 and prompt settlements than the old "Virginia Life.n time to hold Thankfivinsr services. Dr. Burkhead annonced yesterday that he was trying to lepare a sermon for the occasion and hat he did not want to preach it to mptv benches. Go and hear it. Under a vine-clad ind flower-be decked arch, from whh was pendant fortune's emblem, ouhursday eve ning last, in St. Paul church, two of our young people wei united in the bonds of Wedlock, lie contracting parties were Mr. C. EHaskitt. of the firm of D. P. Haskittt; Son, and Miss Annie Stanley, daugter of the late N. B. Stanley. The 3eremony was performed by the pastr, Rev. Dr. L. S. Burkhead. The atendants were Mr. W. A. Richardsorwith Miss Eva Stanley, Mr. A. E. S Lindsey with Miss Kate Barnes. Messrs. J. P. P. Haskitt, W. M. Joran, J. R. Grif fin and J. R. Groves icted as ushers. May the halo of happkess ever shed its beams upon the lewly wedded couple. Quite a novelty of an entertain ment is to be placed ipon the boards of the Opera Housr on Thursday night of this week fcr the benefit of visitors to the colored Fair. The Opera House on :tat occasion has been rented by ?n organization of colored people f ;om Raleigh for the presentation of "Belshaszar's Feast" a classical ctntata "introducing elegant costumes, excellent singing and good music." The cantata is designed to represent how Daniel gained favor ia the eyes of the King and the Persian court by interpreting the handwricing on th wall. The program announces that there will be both singinr and double choruses of Jews, Persians and Grecian soldiers, personated ofj,course by colored peo ple. Those who witnessed the enter tainment at Raleigh last week speak of it in high terms. We are requested to announce that the rigtt dress circle and aAo if necessary, the right par quet, will be reserved for the whites and their patronage is respectfully so licited.
