LOCAL MATTERS.
The Hai.lad Concert at Concert
Hall, on Monday Evening. —One of the
most pleasant entertainments which we
have enjoyed for some time, was the ballad
concert, given by Mr. Gustavus Geary, Miss
Mina Geary, and the Queen Sisters, and
Master Andrew, at Masonic Hail, on Mon
day evening last, for the benefit of the
orphans uudor the care of tho Sisters of
Mercy.
.Notwithstanding the heavy rain which
j.MI about the time of opening the doors
there was a very respectable audience pre
sent ; and each singer was most rapturously
applauded—most of the songs being enured
and cheerfully repeated iu part, or others
sung iu their stead.
Mr. Geary is fuly entitled to the reputa
tion which had preceded him as one of tho
best of Euglish ballad singers; and his
comic song, particularly, took the house,
keeping tho audience in constant good
humor, with his “I'm not myself at all, 0
and ‘‘He’s going away while his senti
mental ballads were most admirably render
ed.
The charming Miss Geary is destined to
be a great favorito with our people. Her
voice is rich, strong, and full of melody, and
is completely under her control. Besides,
she has a naivete that lends additional grace
to her songs. Indeed, her rendition of
“Home, Sweet Home," and “Cornin’ Thro’
the Bye," seemed to clothe these popular
old ballads with new charms.
.Miss Laura, Miss Fanny and Miss Julia—
tho Queen Sisters —were most warmly
greeted. Always favorites with our people,
it was really gratilyiug to welcome them
bac kto the boards. Miss Laura has a very
good voice, and sang with much effect and
swetness. Her “Soldier’s Grave" was one
of the gems of the evening. Miss Fauny, in
“Sixty-two," brought down the house, aud
had to answer an eucore. Little Julia,
getting to an age which will forbid tho use
of that familiar title, but “little Julia" yet,
sung “Brightest Eyes" in excellent style.
Sho has a rich, full voice for one of her age-
Master Andrew, iu “Tippoty Witchet," drew
the wrinkles out of everybody’s face, and
“bade dull care begone," for a time at least.
In short, the whole entertainment was
recherche and gratifying; and the ladies
and gentlemen who gave it are eminently
worthy of public patronage.
They gave another concert and dramatic
performance at Concert Hall last night, and
will give another at tho same place this
evening. No more intellectual entertain
ment, or more deserving, has been offered
our people, and we bespeak for the Company
the warmest support and encouragement.
Registry List.—The number of
votes registered up to yesterday evening
was G 36. The List closes on the first Mon
day in April next, which will be the 2d,
and it will be a great accommodation to
the Clerk, if the voters will attend to this
business at once, and not put it off till the
last few days of the time allowed by law.
The election takes place on the second
Monday in April next, which will be the
9th.
Stop it. — Every Sunday afternoon, a
number of noisy little “freedmon" gather At
the lower ends of Broad and Greene streets,
uud play “town ball," and “base ball," and
several other kinds of balls, we reckon,
from the loud bawling which they keep up,
to the great annoyance of quiet citizens, aud
the scandal of religious people. If there is
no harm in it, would’nt it be well for the
Police to clttl the attention of young colored
people to that commandment which says
“Remember the Sabbath day to keep it
holy.”
Owners of Real Estate are notified
in another column, by L. T. Blome, Clerk
of Council, that the assessments upon the
Ileal Estate of this city have been made
and that the Digest will remain open for
inspection of all those interested, for the
space of ten days.
Eclipse of the Moon. — There will
be a total ellipse of the moon on tho even
ing of March 30th. It begins at five min
utes past nine o'clock, is at its total at
twelve minutes past ten, and begins to dis
appear at forty-one minutes past eleven.
It will be visible throughout the United
States.
We call particular attention to the
announcement of W. JJ. Davidson, concern
ing the fast steamer “Z. B. Vance," which
is to have quick dispatch for Charleston,
via Savannah.
Amusemknth.—Under this head, Concert
Jlall is mentioned as the place, to-night the
time, and it remains tor tho reader to decide
if the offered opportunity shall bo taken
advantage of, aud he or she, or both, be en
tertained with a. variety of concert and
comedy. Soo the pr *ginmme.

“JOY TO THE WORLD.”
tpilE INTRODUCTION OF
PERRY DAVIS’ PAIN KILLER
TO THE
SUFFERING HUMANITY OF THIS
AGE HAS RELIEVED MORE PAIN
AND CAUSED MORE REAL JOY
THAN ANY OTHER ONE THING
THAT CAN BE NAMED.
IT IS A
“BALM FOR EVERY WOUND.”
Our first physicians use it and recommend
its use; the Apothecary finds it first
among the medicines ealledfor. and
the wholesale Druggist consid
ers it a leading article of
his trade.
All the dealers in medicine speak
alike in its favor; and its repu
tation as a medicine of
GREAT MERIT AND VIRTUE
is fully and permanently established ; and
it is the great
FAMILY MEDICINE OF THE AGE.
EVERY BODY SHOULD HAVE A BOT
TLE, IN CASE OF SUDDEN ATTACKS
OF DISEASE.
Taken Internally, it Cures
SORE THROAT, SUDDEN COLDS,
COUGHS. WEAK STOMACH, GENE
RAL DEBILITY, NURSING SORE
MOUTH, CANKER. LIVER COM
PLAINT. DYSPEPSIA or INDIGES
TION, CRAMP and PAIN in STOM
ACH, BOWEL COMPLAINT. PAINT

Taken Externally, it Cures

Full Directions Accompany Each Bottle.
PAIN KILLER,
taken Internally, should be adulterated with
milk or water, and sweetened with
sugar, if desired, or made
into a syrup with
molasses.
For a COUGH and BRONCHITIS, a few
drops on sugar, eaten, will be more effective
than any thing else. For SORE THROAT,
gargle the throat with a mixture of PAIN
KILLER and water, and the relief is imme
diate, aud cure positive.
Tt should not be forgotten that the PAIN
KILLER is equally as good to take inter
nally as to use externally.
