Easter Enterfaiiinieui at Granville The Granville Institute is owned and conducted by the Misses Hillard, two ladies of rare accomplishments and who haye a school here of the highest merit. On Tuesday night the Easter exercises at this school were of meritorious and highly enjoyable character. The audience in attend ance was quite select and there, was a unanimity of opinion that the young ladies acquitted themselyes with unbounded success. The sing ing, instrumental music and recita tions were rendered in an unusually excellent manner. . H: Miss Rosa Crews was' pre-eminently successful by naturalness .and grace in the recitation of Caleb's Courtship, though all. of the partici pants rendered their different parts so admirably that it would be invidi ousto make a distinction. ; The school of the Misses Hillai'dis deserving of liberal patronage. Revival in Kaleigti. A private letter from Raleigh, to a gentleman of this city says, that there has not for in any years been such a revival of religion in the Edenton Street Methodist " church of that place as has been going on for the last eight or ten days under the preaching of Rev. Mr. Schoolfield of Danville, Ya., who is said to be a most thoroughly . consecrated, man Mr. Sehoolfield is a ' gentleman of wealth wd Jearn, ' 'arid ! allows no purses to ,be made up for him where he labors, j i Not on 1 that account but because of his consecration and the success 'which every where attends his labors we should like to see come to pur. city. . ,.. - Well Said. , In replying to ant article that ap peared in the Third party sheet, The Progressive Farmer, the editor of the Warrenton Record says: ; ' , The Record is conducted upon a higher plain, and has for its object, nobler purposes, than to try, week after week to awaken, and keep up bad feeling between the members of the Alliance and those who , do not beloner to i that order. We; have riot the least doubt in the world tbfat we are, and always have been, a better friend to the farmer, and feel more interest in their prosperity and suc cess, than the editor of the Progres siye Farmer. No paper in the State labors more dilligently to advance the interests of agriculture, and it is a source of gratification to us that the farmers of the county appreciate our efforts, and are not the men to jump, when the P. F., cracks its whip. The editor of this paper, in several years of editorial experie'nee has never written one word against the Alliance. Wherein the Alliance is endeavoring to promote the real welfare of the farmer, we bid in God speed, but for the man or paper which is continuall3T endeavoring to stir up strife and array one class of the community against another, we haye only words of severe condemna tion. ; ' Badly Hurt. On Monday morning while Mr. A. J. ditcher, was on his way to one of his neighbors in his wagon, the mules became frightened and ran away throwing him out on his head. The man who was with him was not hurt, and went at once to Mr. Critch er's aid and found that he was bad ly hurt about the neck and shoulders. Mr. Critcher was carried home and upon examination found no bones broken; He is getting on all right now but is unable to sit up m bed on account of extreme soreness. PURELY PERSONAL.
