Itls already quite generally known
that this company of sweet singers will
appear in the opera house' to-morrow
night in a benefit for the Lee monument
iuncL They have been everywhere well
received, and all newspaper criticisms
which have come under our observa
tion refer to them 4n,terms of praise.
The following is f com the Washington
Republican of recent datei ; - .
' The ladies of the quartette possess
voices of great excellence,1 and their
several selections may well be charac
terized as the perfection of quartette
bioging. They afforded our first expe
rience in hearing four-part, songs ren
dered by female singers whose 'gifts of
nature enabled them to -present har
mony under the strictest interpretation
of its laws. In appearance they are lady
like and refined, and in features more
than usually handsome. Their selec
tions were most acceptable in rendition
and excellent in style, and taste. Mr.
lieygangis an artist in the highest
acceptation of the term. His touch is
firm but delicate, and his technique
generally is wonderful. The instru
ment be used is of surpassing elegance
and sweetness of tone. j''

" The Double Marriage " was present
ed last night at the opera house by Miss
Kate Clax ton and company. The audi
ence was considerably larger than was
expected and the play went off smooth
ly. It is highly sensational, full of plots,
deceptions and trouble from the begin
ning to' the end,4?uta$Itfre&nje time
not without humorous features, which
constitute by no means the least attrac
tive part of the play. '; The character of
Josephine which Miss Claxton,Dortrav-
d is very emotional and a difficult one
tot act. She rather disappointed expec
tations at first, but improved greatly as
the Dlav Droerressed. She is nrettv and
graceful on the stage, and won upon
the audience, which gvft herr
Wyatt and Mr. Stevenspn an encore.

Sharp rricktj to Defraud the tiovern
, .inenu .
About a week ago a farmer who lives
in this county picked up, at a point be
tween the public square and the Air
Line depot, a tar bucket, such as may
be seen hanging under road, wagons,
and earned it home. After using the
contents, he threw the bucket into the
tire, and as he did so a false bottom
dropped out, revealing a bundle of to
bacco stamps which had been used. ; It
is easily explained. A wagoner, had sold
nis tooacco, removed the stamps b
soaking, and was carrying them baci
home with the expectation of making
them do service again, thereby ' robbing
the government of their race value in
money. Even the keenest scented rev
enue officer would never have thought
of looking in a tar bucket for stamps,
and yet they have been found in
places equally improbable. An officer
once found a package in a bundle of
rags wrapped around a horse collar, ap
parently for the purpose of protecting
a sore on the animars shoulder. , Now,
how's that for sharp?
Releasing- a, Wag-on and Team. -
- A man named Burns, from Burke
county,' was before Commissioner Pitt
man day before yesterday on the charge
of, wholesaling and retailing whiskey
without a Ucense. His wagon and team
were seized by. Deputy Collector Young
some time ago, but he himself was not
arrested."1 He made application to the
collector of the district to b-ave the wa
gon and team released. The collector
recommended to the commissioner, un
less; the case should be more aggravated
than he supposed, to grant the petition,
provided the owner of tire prooertv
would nay all cost to the government.
The case was heard yesterday and the
wagon ana -team reieasea under the
above conditions. ,,.,y . ..

Fhe Secrettt Case. ( . j
It will be seen from the proceedings
of the Supreme Court published else
where, that in the case of H. C. Secrest;
convicted of murder in the Superioe
Court of McDowell county and sen
tenced to . be hanged, the" court has
granted a certiorari. In common par
lance this simply means that the trans
cripts have been returned to the clerk
of the court of McDowell countv for
correction. The papers may be sent
back to the Supreme Court before, its1
adjournment, and the case may agairi
come up at the end of the docket, btif
it is more Likely that it will go over , td
the next term, and thereby cause stpl
further delay in the final settlement of
the case. The machinery of the law
moves ;with a sluggishness which the
mills' of the gods could never aspire to.
