bat the performance which is to be
given at the Opera House this evening is
well worthy of the patronage of the Wil
mington public, wo quote here an extract
from the Charleston Jiews and Courier
relative to the appearance of the troupe
in that city on last Thursday evening:
In marked contrast with the recent
wretched failure of the Holmans, was the
very pleasant and successful presentation
of H. M. 8. Pinafore last evening by
Campbell's Comic Opera Company. Lets
than a week ago the writer heard the
opera sung by the picked company at the
Standard 1 heat re m New lurk, where the
piece has had to remarkable a run; and
it is no mean praise to say that the per
formance at the Academy last night suf
fered little by ths comparison.
The house waif fur!, though not crowd
ed, and the genuine enthusiasm with
which moat of the airs were welcomed
was the best possible tribute to the style
and spirit in which they were sung. In
the case of the Holmans, it will be re
membered, the immense audience re
mained apathetic throughout the opera.
But last night all the gems of the opera
had to be repeated again and again to sat
isfy the bouse, and even the rollicking
choruses came in for their shares of en
cores A Reliable Article.
It is a pleasure to commend an article o
a thoroughly reliable character, and we do
not hesitate to do so in speaking of Doo
ley's Yeast Powder, which an experience
of over ten yean convinces us Is the best
and most reliable baking powder ia the
market.

On Saturday in our commercial report
a typographical error of one figure made
it appear that spirits turpentine was be

was the state of the marset we were
reliably informed at the close of our report
at 4 p. m. Subsequently, the market ad
vanced to 28J cents, these figures beinjr
