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.

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 ERS’ COLIC, ASIATIC CHOLERA, DIARRHIEA an,d DYSENTERY. Taken Externally, it Cures FELONS, BOTLS and OLD SORES, SE VERE BURNS and SCALDS. CUTS, BRUISES and SPRAINS, SWELLING OF THE JOINTS, RINGWORM AND TETTER. BROKEN BREAST. FROST ED FEET and CHILBLAINS.

PAIN KILLER, taken Internally, should be adulterated with milk or water, and sweetened with sugar, if desired, or made into a syrup with molasses.
