Rain and Hall Storm.
A heavy rain and hail storm occurred
in the Hopewell neighborhood .Mon
day night. There are no growing
crops to be Injured by the hail, and
the only damage which attended its
fall was the breaking of a number of

The rain which accompanied
the hail was of greater severity than
has been known in Hopewell for a

Taa AmfeugM ctras and Menagerie.
The street parade is not always an
index to the character of a circus. One
of the poorest circuses ever here made
the grandest parade ever seen in our
streets ; the parade yesterday morning
was neither large nor showy, but the
circus is the best that has been seen
in Charlotte for years ; we dbubt if so
good a one was ever here before. Both
the afternoon and night performances
were largely attended, and the senti
ment as to the excellence of the per
formance was unanimous. The me
nagerie Is not particularly extensive,
but the collection of animals is fine.
The performance in the ring is first
class. We have never seen much bet

The boy contortionist and rider, Char-

mere were few hearts which did not
warm toward the little fellow. He is
not yet ten years old, yet greater skill
and daring are rarely ever seen in the
arena; ' One day he will, be matchless
in his profession. , His bareback riding
is very remarkable, and he was: ap-
platided to the echo. This little'scrap

Mr. Editor, it did not cure
tic pressure, the onlj
mem three-fourths of a second, nor in one
month, but in less than eight minutes I was re
lieved, and in three months entirely cured, and
have remained so for over sixteen months.
wniie using tne uatarrn Kemedy, I used Dr.
j-ierce s uoiaen Aieaicai uiscovery to purity my
blood and strengthen my stomach. I also kept
my liver active and bowels regular by the use of
his Pleasant Purgative Pellets. If my experience
will induce other sufferers to seek the same
means of relief, this letter will have answered its
purpose. x ours truly,
