ST. MARy's CHURCH FAIR.-There was

GINA, en- Saturday night, and assurance
was made doubly sure that this fair will
be a success. The tables Of Mrs. Lynch,
the Misses Bradley, Nesgle, Hoban and
others, did AN exhsusting business,
apparently leaving little for the auc-
tioneer to sell. But new stocks will be
displayed tonight. The lemonade stand,
presided over so gracefully by the be-
witching Miss Burke, enjoyed a patron
age that might have made Al unchari-
table topper suspect a I" stick" in the
bowl. But nothing Of the kind, we can
assure you. The refreshment board was
generously speead, and the patronage
all that could be desired. The table,
seats were occupied constantly. Mrs. J.
C. Clark and Bouniface give their Mrs.
personal supervision to the R~efreshment
Department, and Sam. Weller, or any
other man can rely upon the g~enuineuess
Of the articles. Coffee being our strong
suit - Notwithstanding it is a slow
poison-we can commend the nectar
Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Bonniface prepare.
The ice-cream is the fayorite dish, on the
calls, and il meets with responsive pay
ments at a rapid rate. The music, under
the direction Of Phillibrown, is enliven-
ing, and mostly composed of new tunes.
Our ancient reporter was present, pre-
pared to sing the "Child's WISH" but
through some oversight was called
upon. The song will be demanded OF
him tonight. And tonight the Fair
closes. 4 large number of rsfles take
place: and we are assured, by authority,
that the throwing will be done by the
ladies who have sold the tickets, or by
other well known and perfectly trusty
persons; so that the "hogging game"
AS against which some apprehensions
have been expressed by ticket holders,
will not prevail, or have a chance Of
winning in any one instance. Profess
sional dire-throwers, or experts in the
business, whoever they ARE, will not be
permitted to decide the ratles by throw
ing for others, and full time for a fair
count OF the dice will be insisted upon
at every throw, by whomsoeyer made.
There was some talk OF closing the Fair
with n ball. but the expenses incident
to such an arrangement have been found
to be too great to leave the probability
of u success by the venture.
IycxSplARY. - On Saturday night,
some time after midnight, su attempt
was made to fire Mrs. Emerson's board
ing house. in Gold Hill, not far from
the Eclipse Mill. The %incendiary set a
lot of straw. paper, shayings, and other
combustibles on fre, OIL the side Of the
house, but he was scared off by a neigh
Dor, before much damage was done.
Yesterday morning, Constable Higgins
arrested a man named Mat. Burk, against
whom there WIS very good evidence OF
guilt, and he Was confined in the station
house TO await an examination before
Judge Hall this morning. Last evening,
some time after dark, Burk sawed his
way out of the station-house, By way Of
the roof of his cell, and is now at Large.
