BTe BIL-TBE FNR.--To>night will be
the last but one of the Fair, and we feel sure
that as it winds to close the more it will be
appreciated. The bill for to night is truly
grand and muui6cent--a so cent chow given
for 10 centsl All the tableaux will be new, and
will eclipse anything Of the kind ever before
attempted. A"Street fight in Paris" will give
the audience a good idea of how those vents
to Fren ch excitement are gotten up and played
out; duel scene from the Corsican Brothers
will post the ladies on the "code observed
among gentlemen" "Napoleons Return from
Elba" is an exquisite piece; 1.-THE British Off
Ger Dining with Marion" will be apprecia
ted by every reader of American history. In a
word, it seems strange that the military can
give so much interest aud amusement for the
trifing sum of 10 cents per auditor.
And then, in addition to the above rich bill

TIE HAUNTED HoMKsrEAD.-This new work
by the distinguished American Authoress
Mrs. Emma d. e. N. Southworth, is in Press,
and will be published on March l7th. 1t will
be complete in one large duodecimo volume
neatly bound in cloth, for 81 s5; or in two
volumes, paper cover, for 81. The popular
American authoress, Mrs. D. E. N. Southworth,
is excelled by no living female writer in the
world. Her style is free from insipidity on
the one hand and bombast on the other; aud
though We meet with forcible, we are never
startled with inflated language. Her charac-
ters are rarely under, but never overdrawn.-
Her scenes are life pictures, her inc dents
founded on facts, and her sentiments are charS
acteriEed by singular purity both of coDcep>
tion and expression, She has the rare faculty
of saying what she means, and Of saying it 10
such a manner as that her meaning cannot be
misinterpreted. In short, she possesses in an
eminent degree those qu qualifications which are
the peculiar Prerogatives Of a good writer;
while she delights the readers imagination
with her descriptive beauty, she applies home
truths to their understanding with the force of
rational conviction. Tbs "Haunted Homes
stead" has been pronounced by those who
have read the proof. sheets, to be her best work
This is sufficient to commend it to perusal, and
we anticipate for it great popularity. 1t will
be for sale by all Booksellers.
Copies of either edition of the work, will be
sent to any part Of the United States, free of
postage, on remitting the price of the edition

FAIRBANKs' SCALES. Two brothers.
sons of miller in the Northern part OF
Vermont, having occasion for a more
convenient method of weighing a bulky
article than by the old fashioned hay
scales, contrived more simple plan,
for the mechanism for which they took
out patent in 1880. The result was SO
satisfactory that they applied the princi-
pie, with progressive improvements, to
other descriptions of scales, until they
now furnish upwards of one hundred
varieties of scales, the largest Of which
will weigh a loaded canal boat of five
hundred tons, and so down to the incest
bank or jewel scale.
The worldwide reputation Of the
Fairbanks Scales is owing, first, ITO the
ingenious but simple mechanical ar.
rangement, and next, to the persistent
determination of the proprietors always
to sell first rate article, at reas enable
price. Hence their scales are every.
where the acknowledged standard, and
at the same time are sought for the
commonest uses. By this means they
have built up mode town around their
fathers old mill, its character, AN honor
to the State, and a desirable home for
the families of their several hundred
workm en-.
