TUELL, RIPLEY

DEMING

have an ad

vertisement this morning that speaks louder than any words we can ttsc. Th» figures stare the reader right in the face, and "figures won't lie!" Read carefully and consider the same. There has been a big decline in the prices of their goods,and the cautious and economical buyer will not hesitate to take advantage of the same.

S. R. BAKER & Co., of the P. O. News stand, place on our table Ballou for January and No. 11 ofPlymouth Pulpit, containing Henry Ward Beecher's notable Thanksgiving sermon on National Unity, which he discusses our common school system and the bible question. The last number of Harper's Bazar will be received by express this morning.

JOSEPH JEFFERSON played one of his earliest engagements in this city about twenty years ago. Early's pork house was the theater and tallow candles made the foot-lights.—Gazette.

Our neighbor is in error as to the place and date of Jefferson's "engagement" in this city. His first and only appearance here was in Hamer's old pork house, on the corner of Mulberry and Second streets, some eight or ten years before Early's pork house was built, and his performance consisted of two or three comic songs. Young Joe, then a boy of about twelve years, was traveling, with his father, who had a small itinerant troupe.— They desired to giveja performance here, but found that the license fee for a single theatrical entertainment was fifty dollars, a sum larger than their gross receipts were likely to be in a small place and in "hard times." Inquiry developed the fact that a concert license could be had for five dollars. On this hint Jefferson, Sr., acted. He advertised a concert which consisted, as we have said, of two or three comic songs, ty little Joe. The letter of the law being thus satisfied, the company gave their usual entertainment. The present Joe Jefferson's father was not a distinguished actor, but his

father

took leading rank in the profession. No one of the family, however, has ever attained such fame and fortune as have come to the Joe Jefferson of to-day through his unapproachable rendition of "Rip Van Winkle." If, as we hope will be the cose, the proprietors of our magnificent Opera House should accede to the proposal, already made, to have that beautiful Temple of the Muses dedicated b_v Mr. Jefferson in his favorite character, the event will derive addeu interest from the great actor's early appearance here. The contrast between the little Joe of

thirty years ago, singing comic songs in a tallow-candle-lighted pork house, in an obscure town, and Joe Jefferson, of world-wide renown, playing a part with which his name is indissolubly associated,- and must thus stand forever among the brightest annals of the drama, in one of the most beautiful dramatic halls on the continent, amid the intelligence, refinement and wealth of a prosperous city of more than twenty thour eand inhabitants, will present one of those suggestive scenes that are possible only in such a country as ours, where talent, industry and enterprise are sure of their splendid reward, where men and cities alike may grow in a few short years from poverty and obscurity to greatness and renown. Mr. Jefferson will find that time has wrought vastly greater changes here Mnco his former visit than those which occurred Falling Water during Rip's loni sleep/but he will not find himself a stranger TO our citizens, nor VJLL UP/WL of

SminWflfeomp.

ALMOST JUR-ACCRORAFE-^ERTERDAY ternoon. as the workman'were hoisting one of the large stone pillars to' its .place in the front of the Opera House, one of the guy ropes broke and the derrick fell over, breaking several joists. One workman narrowly escaped being crashed by the huge mass of stone, but fortunately no very serious damage was occasioned.

A GOOD

BOOK.—Mrs.

STATE

LOVING HUSBAND

paid nine dollars for the pleasure of whipping his wife, yesterday.

IIOG SLAUGHTERING.—W. B. Warren commenced operations yesterday with eight hundred hogs in the pens.

CHRISTIAN CONVENTION.—One

of the most interesting prayer meetings ever held in the city inaugurated the proceedings of the State Christian Convention in the parlors of the Congregational Church, last evening. The large rooms were densely filled with Christians of all denominations, and the most intense interest and feeling were evinced. Rev. Mr. Foxworthy, of the Centenary Methodist charge, took charge of the meeting, the clergy and laity occupying the time with prayer and exhortation. It seemed to all present that it had been good for them to be there. Tlits afternoon a general union prayer meeting will be held in the lecture room of the Congregational Church, at three o'clock, and it is earnestly hoped that the attendance may be ^ry general At four o'clock a children's meeting will beheld in the main audience Boom of the same church, of which D. L. Moody, of Chicago, will take charge. The reputation of Mr. Moody is so fully established in the Christian world as a "lay-worker," and his efforts in interesting the children have been so eminently successful and signally blessed, that no one can attend this meeting without receiving good and being deeply interested in the all-import-ant subject which Mr. Moody advocates. The special services of the Convention proper will be held in the Congretional Church this evening at seven o'clock at which an address of welcome will be made by Rev. J. E. Foxworthy and responded to by some member of the Convention, followed by addresses and discussions of different christian themes by eminent members of the clergy and laity of the State.

This Convention is not the peculiar gathering of any one denomination or sect, but is to be participated in by all who are enlisted under the leadership of a common Savior, and who hope for salvation Jin a common Redeemer—so that all

are invited.

Best Jersey Sausage can be had daily at Jo Rupp's meat stand, on the south side of Main street, between Sixth and Seventh. Also, fresh Lard.

Oyster War.—We know^ Tom Langford & Co. are selling Fresh Oysters twenty cents cheaper than any other house in the city. Every can warranted fresh and good.

A Christmas Present for ladies,

vTerre

P. J. Beswick is

at present canvassing the city for a book that should find a place in every family. It is the life of Jesus Christ, by Zachary Eddy, D. D., and is the fruit of many years' faithful and skillful study. It is especially valuable to Sunday school teachers, the Bible student and the occasional Bible reader, on account of the beauty of its passages, the chronological clearness of the narrative and for the success with which the apparent discrepancies of the evangelists are harmooized in its pages. Give it a careful examination when Mrs. Beswick presents it for your consideration.
