Mr. George H. Adams, with his pan
tomime troupe, will appear at. the Opera
House in this city on Monday evening,
tho 13th inst. Mr. Adams will himself
personate the character of Humpty
Dumpty, in which he stands unrivalled.
Speaking of this performance, the Wash
ington, D. C, Critict in an article writ
ten by the young daughter of Mr. John
T. Ford, the noted theatrical manager,
says: '
Mr.1 Adams in the pantomimic art has
ho rival he stands alone. His refined
manner of presenting I and treating the
ridiculous situations and wonderful facil
ity of provoking mirth by quiet facial ex
pression, and his great acrobatic feats
are marvels ot surprise and delight to all.
Besides the extraordinary merit of his
company, which is probably thS greatest
ever in Washington since the days of
"The Ravels," Mr. Adams presents
many specialists of rare attraction and
interest to all. The pantomime posses
ses a charm of its own for persons of all
ages, which is sufficient to insure success
wherever it may be jerformed, and so
true is this, were the truth but knoisa
we fancy there are many theatres which
owa their financial prosperity entirely to
this seasonable piece. I

The Cape Fear river presented a sin
gular appearance opposite our office this
morning. The recent rains have caused
heavy' freshets in both the Northeast
and Northwest branches of the river,
and whilethe former comes down black
with the mud of the lowlands and swamps
through which Its course meanders, the
latter is yellow with the clay of tho
hills of the up country. At their con
fluence at Point Peter to form the main
river, each seemed to be upon its dignity
and refused to assimilate with the other,
and aeon siderable time during the earlier
part ot the day the line between them
was drawn with great distinctness, the
western side of tho river retaining tho
grayish yellow color of the Northwest
branch, while the eastern half was black
with the waters of the Northeast branch.
There seemed to be a struggle between
them, as at times tho colors would
change sided, and again at times they
would be ptrtlillj laixsd, until later in
the day, when the grayish yellow from
the upper Cape Fear gained the mastery
and the black color of the water waa en-
tireljchHterated. i

iEniiOE Reyikw: Would that you
could have been with me on the 26th of
January last, to have enjoyed the social
feast at Mr. S. P. Hand's, prepared in
honor of his mother's 86tn birthday.
Mrs. Nellie Hand, the mother, in whose
honor the feast was prepared, notwith
standing the frosts of so many winters
have silvered her locks, is in good health,;
moyes about with ease, and wo hope and
pray that she may be spared to us 'yet
many more years, and that I may always
remain one ot her numerous friends to be
remembered as each succeeding year rolls
around. 1 1 ,
She has six children- four sons and
two daughters.' They all have families,
and just before the eventful period ar
rives, there is always a sort of friendly
disputation between them as to which
shall have the honor of preparing the
annual feast, which each desires to do.
I-havo been so fur tuna teas to have been
present as a guest at six of these birth
day dinners, and the last always seems
the best. Suffice it to say that the last
was a feast long to be remembered.
When I tell you that it was prepared by
that estimable lady, Mrs. S. P. Hand,
formerly one of your citizens Miss Kate
Bunting -you ' will well understand
with what taste everything was
gotten up.. Mra 3. P. Hand presided
at the head of the table, and invoked an
appropriate natal blessing for her mother.
Dr. W. T. Ennett was then called upon
for a toast and responded in appropriate
terms, andj being the family physician,
referred feelingly to the kindly senti
ments and intimacies j which existed be
tween them, and hoped that tey might
long continue in fact, for al time.
To see the children now old men and
women gathered aronud the table pre
pared in honor of their mother's eighty
sixth birthday, was a bcene long to be
remembered . Tears would trickle as the
venerable mother would talk to them and
urge tbem to prepare for the life to come.
She would remind them that her three
score years and ten had long been run,
and that may be before the next birthday
should arrive her life wohM be, ended ;
bat 6he wanted to meet them in a blessed
land, where there would be no more part
ing. Again, at times, smiles and laughter
woald prevail as she related anecdotes
and experiences of her Younger days.
1 For the family and their guests it! was
an enjoyable occasion, and, for myself, I
thank the family, and especially Mr. and
llrs. S. P. Hand, for the privilege of
attending. That tho mother may be

William J. Cpughlin1 of Somerville.
Mass., says. In the fall of 1876 I was
taken with bleeding of the lungs follow
ed by a severe cough. I lost my appe
tite and flesh, and I was confined to my
bed. In 1877 1 was admitted to the
Hospital. The doctors said I had a
hole in my lung as big as a half dollar.
At one time a report went around that
I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend
told me of Dr. ; William Hall's Balsam
for the Lungs. I got a bottle, whoa to my
surprise, I commenced to feci better, and
to-day I feel better 'than for, three years
past. ; ; : i '. j.LwL

since my sickness. . . T
