Turns upon the weather. Cotton clerks
and collectors g1ide around with faces as
long as the business before them, while
the " oldest inhabitant" stands about
bundled up in great-coat and comfort,
looking as though he was waiting for

Tremont Street.
There are a number of holes and un-
even places at different points on Tre-
mont street, which seriously interfere
with the drive. Now that vehicles are
confined chiefly to this thoroughfare for
afternoon drives, it would be a public
benefit to have it put in order.
The Texas Medical
College have secured very comfortable
lecture and recitation rooms over Mr.
Mason's store, on Market street. The
fall term opened Tuesday with an able
corps of instructors and a fair number of
students. The attendance will be con-
siderably increased before the month is
out.

Accident.
Two small spring wagons collided yes-
terday on Market street, producing a
Bin ash-up. The front wheel of one of
the vehicles was completely demolished,
thus throwing the axle on the ground.
The driver succeeded fn securing his
horse, else the iifTair would have been
more serious.
Ilemarkahle I'I ay.
Mr. E. S. Randall, a well known bil-
liard i«tt, now with Messrs Dirmeyer and
Moore, at the Bird Cage Saloon, made a
remarkable play last evening during a
game of fifteen ball pool. He pocketed
every ball at one run, the final shot be-
ing a most difficult one. Such occur-
rences are rare.
A Barren Beach.
The beach presented a bleak and bar-
ren appearance last evening, and well it
should, for no one dared to weather the
sharp winds that came from the north,
cold and cutting. The surf was rolling
high, lashing the beach with unremitting
fury. The scene was a wintry one, and
suggested a warm fire, slippers, a novel
and a " little sulbin.
No Meeting.
The Philharmonic Club were notified
that there would be a meeting last nigbt,
but tbe hour appointed came and no quo-
rum. Mr. McKae, Secretary, and several
other members were present, and waited
until nearly eight o'clock, when it was
deemed advisable to wait no longer. The
Huddcn inclemency of the weather prob-
ably prevented many from attending.
<'ourt Note*.
John Reagan, for assault with intent
to murder, and Packer for aggravated
assault, were each bound over to the
Criminal Court by Justice Hancock yes-
terday.
J. S. Jones was found not guilty'on the
third and fourth charges of embezzle-
ment. The fifth, and last charge, was
not entertained by the court, the case be-
ing centinued until next term.
The trial of Frank Dirks, the alleged
defaulting sheriff, was continued by the
defense.

Theatrical.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of
the weather many were present at the
Opera House last evening. The play was
" Don Cirsar de Bazan." As upon the
night previous, there was no lack of in-
terest or abatement of enthusiasm in Mr.
Fechter.
To-night he will appear as Barrdet.
No doubt it will be grand. His portrait-
ure of this character when once seen is
always remembered with pleasure. The
reputation Mr. Fechter enjoys abroad
and at home as to the perfection of the
mourner, in which he delineates the char-
acter of Hamlet is so well known that
comment or praise is unnecessary. With
pleasure we give the opinion of a New
Orleans critic:
" The great curiosity felt by our thea-
ter going public to Bee ' Fetcher's Hamlet'
was gratified last evening. He gave his
idea of Shakespeare's melancholy Prince
before a house crowded in every part by
a most intelligent audience; and no
doubt hundreds failed to obtain admis-
sion. Mr. Fetcher's conception of the
character differs, of course, from that of
many of h:s contemporaries, but the ren-
dering, however opinions may vary as to
the carrectnews of the actor's idea, must
be conceded a work of art. Every actor of
repute who has attempted Shakespeare
makes it a point to introdnce a bit of new
business into ' Hamlet' bo as to lay claim
to merit on the score of originality; Law-
rence Barrett even went to the length
of flying in the face of tradition the text,
and donned blue tights in place of the
customary solemn black. But to our
mind, the philosophic Dane haa never
been introduced in such presentable
ebai>e as by Mr. Fechter last evening. In
costume everything, from the blonde wig
to the shoe-latchet, was point-device. In
the acting there was a subdued, dreamy
manner, which perfectly conveyed the
idea of a man in whom the *' native hue
of resolution waa sicklied o'er by the
pale cast of thought."
" Fechter's magnificent impersonation
of JIamlet was enjoyed by another large
house last night. The care with whieh
the play han l>een put on the stage re-
flects great credit on the management,
and the manner in which members of
tbe company who have not had much
experience in Shakespearian parts play
their respective roles, is equally credit
able. To see such an actor as Fechter
in llamlet, is a chance which many living
here will have but once in their lives
and if they miss it they will certainly re'
gret it."

Thirteen of their churches—Galveston,
Houston, Bethel, Brazos, Wheelock, Chap-
pell Hill, Hnntsville, Navasota, Colum-
bia, Bryan, Waverly, Willis, Bremond—
have been especially revived, and princi-
pally as the result of ministerial co-oper-
ation, going as of old, " two and two," un
der Presbyterial direction, and conduct
ing protracted services. Over 250 «ddi
tions—81 of these from the Sabbath
schools—within the synodical year, have
been made to their numbers, the Galves-
ton church having received 142.
The Presbytery of Eastern Texas has
also been favored with revivals of great
interest in Crockett, Longview, Clarks
ville, Paris, Tyler and at other points,
where many precious souls have been
added to the Church. Nearly every
church reports accessions, some of them
considerable, viz: Dallas, over 100
Crockett, 40; Marshall. 41; Clarksville
37; McKinney, 21; Tyler, over 30. There
have been, in all, over 420 additions to the
various churches in their bounds. Be
sides highly encouraging numerical
strength to our cflurch membership,
marked progress appears in the organi-
zation of a number of new churches, and
the completion of several new houses of
orship at important points. It is be
lieved every department of Christian la-
bor has received a fresh impetus during
the year. r
While thus reviewing the wonderful
divine goodness accompanying our feeble
endeavors instrumentally in attempting
well-doing, we are nevertheless sensibly
and profoundly impressed with an abid
ing conviction of our habitual short-eom
ings and lamentable deficiencies in al
most every respect, considering our privi-
leges, advantages and obligations ; and
while thus constrained to own our com
parative individual unprofitableness, we
are moreover pained at the low state of
average piety in our churches, of the un-
due worldly conformity, as well as a
want of interest and efficiency on the
part of multitudes of our church mem-
bers.
And there yet remains many waste
places in Mount Zion, and much land to be
possessed in every Presbytery. Indeed, , , „ , - -

England will now have an opportu-
nity of wreaking her vengeance on that
monster of Indian cruelty and blood-
thirstiness, Nena Sahib. Telegrams in
confirmation of the rumor of his capture
have been received in official quarters,
and the memories of the horrors and bar-
barities Cawnpore witnessed, when this
savage ruler glutted his inhuman appe-
tite with the ghastly corpses of innocent
and unoffending men, women and chil-
dren, freshly revived, even through the
interim and after the lapse of years, will
lead to his summary and condign pun-
ishment. No country is swifter to avenge
wrongs than England. Greatly to her
credit be it said, she tracks the offender's
steps until the victim is hemmed in and
made to suffer the penalty of his crimes.
The civilized world will rejoice over
Nena Sahib's capture as the people exult
who use Gottschalk's liquors, and appre-
ciate their purity and worth.
