TUAM, DEC. 18.—There was a fair held here
on Friday last, which was uncommonly good for
stock-holders, as the demand for sheep and black
cattle was brisk, and the prices given far exceed-
ing the expectations of the sellers. There was a
great d' al of business done, aud that, too, of a
nature to•satisfy farmers, and to renovate that
drooping spirit which was so manifest for the last
six months amongst them.

the affec.ng scene.
