SOUTH CAROLINA INSTITUTE FA1R,

We see by the Charleston papers, that
this interesting occasion has attracted a
goodly number Of visitors 10 the "Queen
City" The array of articles OH exhibition,
is large and attractve-embracing an al.
most endless variety. We present our rca-
ders with short notices Of two or three
novel inventions. The first is a lock, the
utility of which will recommend it to gem
cral use. Wo copy from the Eyeniug
Ncps:
"Mr. c. Y. Richardson, locksmith, of this
city, exhibits case of articles in his line,
which compares favorably with anything of
the kind in this country. The selection
consists in part, of Magazine Lock. Trip
Bell, and Ncwell's celebrated parantopic
Bank Lock. This is one of the most per.
feet combinations of mechanical skill ever
presented to the public, possessing all the
requisites Tor perfect security against bur-
glars, and the improvements introduced
within the last three years, prevent the pos
s'bility OF its getting out oforler. 1t is s,,s-
ceptible OF millions Of changes, or different
ways of locking. by simply changing the
position of the bits in the key, I'm entire
new lock is formed, thereby making it per-
fectly secure against even the maker of the
lock himself"
The second is an invention of Mr.. LIZ
CARE, showing a new use to which cotton
may be applied. Here it is:
"Mr. }. NJ. Lcgarc, of Aiken. sends =
stand, rustic chair, table, Emperor Adrian's
Cabinet, picture frame, library screen, etc,
which he made of cotton, to initiate carved
wood work, hy suhjecting it to a chemical
process. 1t is an invention of his own. en-
tirely new, for which he has received a pa
tent. In its use it is plant and ductilc.
and may be moulded, if desired, but with
still greater facility may be worked up by
hand without moulels. When dry it is
moderately elastic, is not effected by heat.
cold or moisture, and possesses hardness
and tcnacity beyond the hardest wood
These articles are certainly great curiosties,
and will we'll repay a careful examination
by all who visits the fair"
Tie third is a rare specimen of female
ingenuity.
"Much attention was attracted by two
frames of Butterflies of various colors and
sizes, collected and arranged in figures, by
Mrs. Groning, of this city. This is certain
! ly the practical demonstration of a very
unique and perfectly original idea, and will
well repay the curious for the trouble of 1.
| careful and critical examinations"

Il Rich REORGANIZATION Bridegyoon,s
TO one Bride.-A st. Joscph's (Mo.) CORES.
pondent, writing on the 23d of October, says:
Last night our gossips were thrown into
ecstacies over an elopement, Which certainly
was one Of most extraordinary character.
1t seems that two young gentlemen were
addressing young belle up town, and that
she smiled equally upon both. Yesterday
morning she was to be married to one and
last night to the other, and, strange TO say,
she kept both engagements. At 0 A. NJ.
ono bridegroom was made happy by her
pledge Of hand and heart, and ut o p. NJ.
the other was made happy by the posses
sion of her person. They fled at dusk, and
were welded at Bloomington, just twelve
miles distant, and continued on their way to
realms unknown"
