Raleigh Observer: The present
month has been .made memorable by the
great revivals in this city, the largest of
them being the; one at the Second Baptist
church, conducted by Rev. W. A. Nelson,
of Hendersonville. -He ia a preacher of
great power, and has become a great favor
ite here. Tbe church on Swain street was
not sufficiently large to accommodate the
crowds, and last Sunday Metropolitan Hall
was occupied by Dr. Nelson to give more
room. It was a happy plan to secure this
large halL which is filled nightly, fully a
thousand persons having been present last
night Two hundred additional chairs
have been placed in the hall, and even
these were all filled. At the Second Baptist i
church and at Metropolitan Hall, under
Dr. Nelson, over 125 persons have been
converted. The interest and attention are
features of the meeting, which is a peculi
arly impressive one. - No such a scene has
been witnessed here as is now presented at
the Call every evening.
Salisbury Watchman: Miss An

a horse ran away with a buggy in which

ceived slight injuries. Four specimens
ot gold, the whole weighing two pounds
avoirdupois, from the Christian mine, were
exhibited here to-day. Since May 8th,
1879, 1,651,000 pounds of bay have been
shipped from this place. This much that
we know of, besides much of which we do
not know. The gold mining interests
ot this county are booming. Northern can
talists are beginning to appreciate our bid
den treasures, and are investing their means
in our mines. Saturday night a co
lored brakeman on a freight train on the
North Carolina Railroad, fell from the top
of a car .while the train was making forty

MAY lt 1880.
. - TJl R QPEBi HOUSE.
. Uartley-Oenelc Combination. , ,
Last night a fair and intelligent audience
was at the Opera House to enjoy the many
good things which Messrs. Hartley and
Denck had to offer them. Considering the
excellence of the entertainment and the ob
ject in view there ought to have been a full
house. The performance was an improve
ment, if that were . possible, upon Ibat of
Tuesday night. Mr. Hartley excelled him
self. He was in good condition, and was
happy in bis selections. He opened with
the famous seene between Caseins and Bru-
tu In "J alius Csssar.'? It was well ren
dered, and both characters were presented
by a change of voice, which is very diffi
cult to do successfully. His recitation of
Robert Browning's wonderfully impressive
and stirring poem "How the good news
was brought from Ghent to Aix" was ret
markably animated and effective, and was
his crowning effort of tbe evening. He
gave a variety of amusing readings which
caused great satisfaction. He was forced
to appear three times in succession so de
lighted was th3 audience. We first heard
him seven years ago, and he has developed
his powers as an elocutionist and imper
sonator. He has considerable versatility,
and his repertoire is much more extensive.
Mr. Denck's performance on the piano
forte was of the highest excellence.. He is
fully-entitled to all we claimed for him in
our first notice as being equal to any
pianist in America. He is great. He
plays with an ease, a leadiness, a pre
cision, a mastery which is wonderful.
There is a succession of surprises, and so
exquisite is his touch, so rapid and perfect
his execution, so facile and consummate
his power over the instrument, that he
seems a part of it. The rich melodies, so
liquid, so sweet, so moving, appear to fiow
from bis fingers. We never knew what
the piano-forte was capable of until we saw
it respond again and again to the delicate
and supreme touch of the master.
We were glad to hear Mr. Hartley an
nounce that another entertainment would
be given next week, - and which will be
duly announced. Those who have not
attended heretofore ought not to fail next
lime. . eie

It is a general belief that there is no

some cases the assertion may be correct.

with what he had done, she refused to have it ad
ministered to the child, as she was strongly in favor
of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in'
suffering, and the parents without sleep. Returning
home the day following, the father found the baby
still worse, and while contemplating another sleep
less night, the mother stepped from the room to at
tend to some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. - During her absence he administered
a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and
said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and
the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and
happy. The mother was delighted with the sudden
and wonderful change, and although at first offend
ed with the deception practiced upon her, has con
tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering crying babies
and restless nights have disappeared.. A single trial
of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the baby,
and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Bold
