DDAR TINES Il have been dereIict in my

you an account of the Fair. but the truth is, it
was rather a tame affair, the entries being bu,
few and the interest taken in it by the people
of Union county being accordingly frigid.
fear that the sum realized will not add materi-
ally to the exchequer of the society. To-day
however, a large number of the yeomen o.
Union county, and a great number of the Ia
dies of this section, who were made in Ma.
ture sloveliest mould, were upon the ground,
which display tends to make up the deficit in
stock of other kinds.
The entries of horses, cattle, sheep, poultry
and hogs were few, though what there were
provided excellent samples of what there are
in the county.
The samples of fruit were excellent demon
strating that no where on this green earth car
apples, pears and peaches arrive at greater
perfection than in Union county.
Of manufactured articles, were those pre-
sented by the ladies stricken from the list, the
number would very nearly approach 900. As
it is however, the ladies Of Union county have
made the department look quite inviting, ano
pretty bed-quiits, under which happy couple,
] will yet nestle and sleep-fancy, embroidered
! crotched 'things,' upon which lamps will
sit to aid lovers to talk love and nonsense ant
other 'tixins,'' all materially assisted in ma

night at Winters Block, for the purpose of ap-

to invite General Ulysses S. Grant, now in St.

regret that it has not been held sooner But
it is not too late yet. Therefore, let every ad-

PALATIAL RESIDENCES.

There is not, in our opinion, city of equal
population, in which as many fine stores and
palatial residences are being erected this sea-
son, as in Cairo This is an index of substan-
tial success, and growing business. Upon
every street can be seen brick structures 60
ing up. Thanks to the City Council none
other than brick or stone buildings can be
erected within the fre-limits of our city. at
the present time there are upwards of one hun
dred buildings now raising their brick fronts
from lots heretofore unoccupied either by dwell
lings or business lnarts, and number more
are now employing the attention of our Arch
itects.
Yesterday we paid visit to the new resi-
dences of Messrs. s. B. Halliday, VIM. P. Hal
liday and Col S. Taylor, situated at the ex-
treme upper end of our city. The residence
of the former named gentleman will compare
favorably with that of any in the State to size
and cost being equal. 1t is 62x5e and cost
O,O00. Its height is two stories and a sub
s.antial basement. 1t is furnished with rich
and substantial furniture and its apartments
are of the most modern and improved styles.
vey to wash tubs, sink, bathrooms, water
closet, &C., hot and cold water. The grounds
surrounding are situated above high water or
sipeage and from the observatory on the roof
of the dwelling a commanding view of the city
can be obtained.
The residence of W. P. Halliday, Esq, is
not yet completed, but will be ready for oc
cupancy next moath. 1t is the same size and
style of S. B. Halliday's, with the exception of
the roof, which is what is termed 8 French
roof and provides the additional room Of
twelve foot story-a decided improvement
and a cheap manner Of providing an additional
story. Its cost will be about S22 600.
The residence of Col S. S. Taylor, unlike
the others, which are brick, is IL frame struc-
ture, and about the SAME dimension as the
Hallidays. The conveniences spoken of as hav-
ing been introduced into the above indicated
residences, are also in this, and the system of
sewerage adopted efectually excludes any mi
asmatc or unwholesomc odor from generating
or offending the nostrils of the residents. 1t is
two stories in height, exclusive of basement
and cellar, and cost about Sl5, 900.
We were forcibly impressed with the conve-
vierce experienced by the introduction into
each of the above mentioned residences of
water pipes, conveying water, both hot and
cold, into wash tubs, bath rooms, &C., and
. upon enquiry learned that the cost was not to
be measule ed or taken into account with the
convenience afforded. No residence is COM
plete without bath room. as by frequent in
dulgences in immersion and shower baths dis
ease Of countless characters arc averted.
There can be no better preventive Of sickness
named, than cleanliness, and the pores of the
skin can be cleanscd and opened in no other
manner, so etiectually as by shower baths

A BRUTAL MURDER.
NORTHERN REBEL PARDONED
ALEX. III. STEPHENS.
CONDITION OF zVIRZ.


New YORK, Sept ia special to the
/ Tribune, dated Washington, September 14th,
says report from Gen. Saxton, Assistant Com
missioner of the Freedmen's Bureau, for the
States of South Carolina and Georgia, has Just
reached Gen. Howard detailing the circum-
stances of the murder of Capt. Healy, one of
his agents at Augusta, on the I'd inst. 1t also
states that an unsuccessful attempt on the life
of Gen. lid has been made, and that Captain
Bryant, an officer of the Bureau, has been an
onymously notified that he will next be assas-
sinated.
Capt. Heay was brutally murdered while re-
turning from his Office in the evening, by three
rufans who fired several shots, three of which
took effect in his body, and either Of which
would have produced almost instant death
His inanimate body was afterwards mutilated
with knives by the cowardly assassins.
Gen. Saxton expresses his belief that the
murderers were returned rebel soldiers.
The statement recently published In New
York paper that the Secretary of the Treasury
has decided to issue 20 bonds in exchange
for compound interest notes, is without founda-
ton. The Secretary has various financial mea-
sures under consideration, but has taken no
definite action on any of them
Maj. Gen. Howard, Of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau, to-day made thorough personal inspec-
ton of most of the houses Of the colored people
of Washington, and reports them being COM
Portable and probably better cared for than
those residing in any otheL section of the coun-
try.
The parties entitled to the reward for the
capture OF those engaged in the conspiracy and
assassination Of the late President Lincoln, has
been selected by the War Department., and it
is understood that their names will be made
public shortly.
Promotions Of officers conspicuous in bring
Ing the conspirators to justice, have been made
out and are awaiting the signature Of the Sec
retary Of War, who is now absent from the city.
Col. Brown, Assistant Commissioner Of Freed
men for the State of Virginia, reports to Gen.
Howard from Richmond, that he has reason
to believe the fears recently expressed by a
ton by the freedmen of that State are entirely
groundless. p
Gen. Terry has so disposed of his troops
through the State as to enable him to effectu-
ally squelch any attempt Of the kind by the
negroes.
