This seudid troupe of real artists; will appear at the Opera House in this city on Saturday night and also in a matinee on Saturday afternoon The Asheville .(.'ifizen says of them: This company afforded a large audience some line fun Friday night. The usual features of negro min strelry, singing and dancing, were presented, but unusually well pre sented. Messrs. Heath Mc.Intyre, Buckley. Mewart, Sinclair. Morris, ami Belknap were exceptionally good. The acrobatic feats were fairly good, but the Little Ah Sid, a diminutive sure enough negro, was very good. Altogether it was a very pleasing minstrel performance, and merits the applause it has received. '!. Itowland al Home. Hon.

In his own person, and in his family. Col. Rowland has experienced an amount of sickness that few men in the Providence of d'od are called to endure.

But like the true man that he is, he stands it nobly, and has a kind word for all his friends and acquaintances. Such men are the salt of the earth.

The most essential thing to a buy er of clothing is ple'nty of lightrso so that he may ee what he is buy- iug. The immense stores of S. H.

As regards Mr. Fishblate's prices and the quality of his goods, he guarantees to give vou perfect satisfaction or cheerful lv refund von vour money.

Sprunt & Son for Liver pool, with 4,020 bales cotton, weigh ingl..S!U,51i lbs and valued at $19i. 200, crossed the bar at Southport to-day, drawing 18 feet 10 inches, ithout accident and is now safely anchored outside the bar. The captain telegraphs that he wdl pro ceed to sea to-morrow, March 1st. This cargo is beyond doubt the largest and most valuable ever taken out of Wilmington by a sail ing vessel, and weare informed that the Etta draft of water is the Jeepest ever taken over the bar. This is just splendid. It is but two inches short of 19 feet of water.. We can well remember, and that since the war, when 12i feet, on a full Hood tide, was the best water we had. The gain has been 6 feet and perhaps in twelve months we may be able to chronicle 20 feet of water on the bar. What we want now to back op this increased depth of water on the bar is more railroad facilities, and these are evidently on the way here, j KfM'k Cryrl Spectacle huI Ky ejli9se Advice to old and young: In se lecting spectacles you should becau- Kerchner, J.

Manning spoke in j favor of subscription and he was followed by John Holloway, Valentine Howe and Geo. W. Price, also in its favor. Mr. Jno. H. Currie was the last speaker and bespoke at some length in warm and earnest advociicy of the pending measures. The chairman vyas requested to announce that meetings n favor of subscription would be held to-night at Mt.Zion Church in the FirstWard and at the corner of Fifth and Cas tle streets in the Fifth Ward. The meeting then adjourned. The Committee to the Party Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 25th, '88.
