her senses by a severe blow upon the head
added 10 her fright. Some had arms-some
limbs-some faces-some heads-some other
parts Of the body more or less bruised, but
only three or four seriously.
All the tables containing the dry goods
and fancy articles were In that part oil INC
hall which gave way-and delicately wrought
card-baskets, and beautiful needle-work, and
rich embroidery-and the thousand number
less articles of exquisite workmanship were
Unfortunately trampled under foot. Those
in the hall above found themselves uncon-
s%ciously clinging TO each other without re-
gard to age, condition, SEA, or color, while
topmost Of those below were relieving, as
fast as they could, the PROSTATE mass OF hui
mainly beneath them. One good old man, in
his fright aud haste, fell backwards head fore
most into a large watering tub OF water, but
was extricdted without amy injury save the
ducking. The universal question was, ARE
you hart are you hurt are you hurt!"-
To this question one young lady responded,
81 have lost my shoo,''-' are you hurt! ="
81 can't find my shoe ia are you hurt!"
Don't talk to me now, for | tell you | have
lost my shoe, and can't find it," Thus will
the ludicrous and laughable oftimes intrude
itself upcn the serious and solemn. One lit
tie bright-eyed, fair-haired boy, as soon ashe
was released, jumped up scratching his head,
which had received a very severe bump, say
ing, d" | don'tcare, it didn't hurt me any, but

window-sill as the floor receded, and hung
there in safety until relieved.
The most melancholy part Of the whole af-
fair IS the fact, that the oui-dO0r gentry i'm
mediitcly rushed TO the scene of action, and
amid the general confusion bore off nearly all
the money which had been taken, which lay
upon the tables in purses and bags, and came
down amid the common wreck-and also car
ried of more than half the goods. 1t ought
not perhaps TO be wondered at. that in a com
munity where the teachers Of the people make
a merit Of tobbinT those who stand up in be-
half Of the perishing bondman, Of their good
name and character, and at the same time
fellowship those who e~nslave our own fathers

vating circumstances, the slaves friends
circumstances that would have secured the
sympathy of the comaaOn pirate, and the aid

At a safe calculation, if nothing had oc.
Cured to interrupt the progress Of the Fair
from 5000 to $500 would have been realized
1lth. The wounded are all doing well
1t is a sublime sight TO see how heroically
these women stand up under their misfor
tunes. The fragments of the wreck have
been OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES washed-some iron
ed-some cleaned, and others Strengthened
and put to rights" and they are going OF
as bravely as though nothing had happened
and have also expressed their determination
to have a Fair next year, even better than thi:
Promised to be. A subscription was com
menced yesterday for a bed-quilt, worth $500
to be presented to Abby Kelley Foster-anC
more than SIS 800 subscribed and paid in, bu
the paper and money fell into the hands o
the freebooters, and already a new subscrip
ton is opened for the same purpose. Tn,
only fear is, that as the news of the disaste
has spread far and wide with great rapidity
that the people will not come in to-day. un
der the impression that the Fair is closed.
Truly and faithfully,
