been received at New Orleans just before her
departure, that the grand expedition under
Maj. Gen Banks in person, had effected a

at the mouth Of The Rio Grande river. The
successful occupation of Point Isabel will give

CITY AND COUNTY.

The MECHANICS HALL FAIR.--The Fair
opened brilliantly, yesterday afternoon, The
hall is beautifully decorated with flags AMI
fcstoonS of red, white, and blue, and arches OF
evergreen and crimson oak leaves form an
appropriate back ground for the flower table
which stands on the platform, and is covered
with rare flowers and delicious fruit. At the
head of the hall stands the cart table, where
one may find pictures, photographs, sea moss
es and other lovely things, The sides OF the
hall are lined with tables for fancy articles
and the fancy articles are uncommonly hand
some and marvellous in their variety. All
that taste, ingenuity, skillful handwork could
do, has been done to render the fair attractive
and profitable, and the prices are said to be
very reasonable by those who know about
such matters.
The curiosity shop at the northeast corner
Of the hall, is a very attractive place. AL
though it was established at short notice, it is
filled with many rare and quaint articles,
every ole Of which mas its story to tell A
torpedo that was found buried in fort Wag-
ner, arrived here yesterday, having been sent
by Worcester friends in that department, and
now forms the chief curiosity in the ''shop.
There are also various other interesting relics
from the battle fields.
1t is needless to speak of the refreshment
room; for visitors at Worcester fairs know
that the refreshment tables are always well
supplied and well served. Early in the even
ing Gov. Andrew and suite visited the fair;
and other attractions are to follow each other
through Thursday and Friday, until the grand
exhibition Of ta5leaur will close the "Fair'
days.
We trust that on Friday night the busy
workers will find compensation for theirwear-
mess and labors in the thought OF the suffering
they can relieve, and the helpful work they
can do through the winter with the money they
have fairly earncd for we hope the proceeds
will not fall short of $4,000.
The success of the fair has been beyond
the anticipations of the most sanguine Many
who desired to go last evening were unable to
obtain entrance because of the crowd. 1t is
impossible now to state the number of tickets
sold, but the hall must have been visited by
five or six thousand persons during the alter
noon and evening. There will doubtless be
the same generous attendance to-day.
The fair will open at ten o'clock this morn
ing Thursday, and remain open during the
day. Tickets can be obtained at the book
store of MIR. W. Sanford and Mr.. E. Mellen,
Jr
Tableaux Friday evening. The labor of
making these make the necessity Of charging
for that evening twenty five cents.
