Correspondence: It was stated in the Visitor yes terday that Mr. MacMackin would de cline to accept the position of street commissioner. Allow me to suggest to the board of aldermen that I know of no better man for the position than Mr. Blake. It is true there is some oomplaint, bat the present commis sioner has done the best he could with the limited force under him, wbioh had to be divided up and senttJ dffer ent parts of the city to work the streets. Give Mr. Blake the neces sary fores to do the work and let him pat in the work where he thinks it is needed, and 1 feel sure there will be no cause for complaint from any source, it is nopea mat tne Doara will re-elect Mr. Blake as his own sucoeasor. J. C. Bibdsdnq. A Wonderful Occurrence. There was a remarkable occurrence at Charlotte yesterday. After having been for thirteen years a deaf-mu te, N. C. Odell recovered both speech and hearing. The Observer says that about 3 o'clock in the afternoon he complained of headache,- and lay down to take a nap. He dreamed he was no longer deaf and dumb but could hear and speak, and that he was at home talking to his mother. He awoke suddenly, and the word "mother" was on his lips. His dream came true. In the sleep his hearing and speech had suddenly come back to him, and he talked and could hear just the same as other people. Over joyed at the wondrous change, he ran to tell the neighbors. They one and all looked upon him with wonder, and some could hardly believe that he was the same man. He is from Chicago, where he-resides stil. Thirteen years ago he had scarlet fever. He sud denly lost both hearing and speech. He is 25 years of age. He went to the cotton, miil in which be is employed, shortly after regaining speech and hearing, bat the noise was so painful that he had to leave. Odell cannot account for the wonderful recovery tnd he says he had long ago given up all idea of ever regaining bearing and speech. His voice is soft and well modulated, and one could not tell that there had ever been anytjing wrong with him. Invitations for the 30th of May ceremonies have been sent oat in great numbers. They are as follows "The unveiling of North Carolina's monument to the confederate dead will take place in the oap.tol grounds Monday, May 30.
