II EVENING NEWS.
AERlAL.-Mr. Fairview, who like Ben

man, called TO inform US that he Is con-
6dent he will be able to buildand ascend
in his balloon while in this country. He
showed US a large number Of documents
on state affairs; letters to Mr.. Lincoln
and others, and detailed conversations
had with the late President Lincoln aud
with General Mcclellan and others. We
hope he will communicate with Senator
Stewart before the latter leaves this
Coast for Washington, and inquire into
the reconstruction measures which Sem
ator now proposes. If he could DO dis
patched as private secretary and privy
counsellor for the Senator,-if he would
only condescend to such u place, for the
good Of the country there would oon
be an end to some Of the impedients
to reconstruction complained of. Mr.. F.
goes to Virginia city, this afternoon, to
consult with certain appropriate parties
there as &c the best mode of securing
adequate means for carrying out his
grand project. He will not publish the
dimensions of his flying machine, as, he
very properly suggests, his diagram
might be taken advantage of by Marriott
and others in San Francisco-who would
steal his ideas aud give him no thanks
or benefit of any kind.

ST. MARY's CHuRcH FAIR.-This Fair
opened at Armory Hall, Virginia city,
last evening, under the most favorable
auspices-that is TO say, the tables were
a~buudantly supplied with choice articles
for sale, the arrangement was excellent,
and the attendance large and purchases
many. St. Msry's is the pioneer chris
tian church of Virginia city; and its
Indebtedness would long since have
been ~liqudsted, had it not been that the
pastor desired and determined to stepo one
side from calls for aid for the church in
order that the Orphan Asylum might
he built and supported. We hope and
trust that sufficient will be collected at
this Fair to pay off the church debt and
buy an Ryan for the church. Excellent
music, and there will be Il fine lunch
included in the programme, every night.
There will undoubtedly be a large at
tendance tonight.

las Uncle Joe Trench calls them there
are = large lot Of fat chickens which
are to be sprung from the roost-the
trapez in Mike McCluskey's Melodeon
having been moved down to Belvi-
dere +" for that purpose. Sam McClus-
kew aud Mike Hyatt expect to kill a
pigeon and n chicken each. Shouldn't
wonder.
SHARP SHoorIys.-A. J. Talbot, the
crack pistol shot of the State, yester-
day tried his hand at the exercise, at
Fort Homestead, Gold Hill. At dis
lance of one hundred and twenty yards,
snd in six shots, he hit a target, being
an empty sardine can, !fce times, four IN
the center and one on the edge. We
should like very much TO see the man on
this coas, who can 10 a. well as Tai
bolt. (By the way, Talbot is the stage
manager Of McCluskey's Melodeon, IN
Gold Hill-whom it is Certainly not our
wish to challenge to fight a duel. We
would rather challenge Pat. Lannan, OF
Virginia.)
