THE CATHOLIC FAIR-LARGE AT
TENDANCE : SPLENDID OPENING
The spacious hall in the third story Of
the new Catholic School House, pre-
sented very brilliant scene last even
ing, it being the occasion of the open
ing night of the great festival for the
school house mentioned above. The
hall has been most beautifully deco
rated, and the ladies and gentlemen
having the matter in charge deserve
great credit for the tasteful manner
in which everything is arranged.
The fancy bazars were perfect gems
of beauty, and the display of fancy
articles was extraordinarily large.
We have not space nor time at the
hour we write to give a minute de-
scription of the fancy tables, and can
only say that we are not competent to
write fair description. They must
be seen to be appreciated. The hall
is literally filled with sewing ma
chimes, elegant furniture, embroidery,
Quilts, pictures and hundreds Of other
things, that would require page oil
our paper to enumerate, all Of which
have been donated by our generous
and liberaI-hearted citizens.
Not the least attractive feature Of
the Fair was the refreshment tables
waited upon by the most pleasant and
smiling ladies. The tables fairly
groaned beneath the weight of goot
things, aud the bill Of fare embraced
an almost endless variety Of thu
choicest viands, prepared in a man
ner calculated 10 alluie the most in
different appetite.
The Crescent City Silver Band fur
nished magnificent music, and added
much to the enjoyment and pleasure
of the Festival. They will play ever,
night.
An elegant lunch will be served VI
to- day from % A. NJ. to II P. NJ, ant
the business men are invited to cal
up during lunch hours.

RECoRDER's CoURT.-Several cases
were tried before the Recorder yes
terday. The Tycoon dropped tear
of gratitude at the prospect of a ven-
ison steak this morning.
James Mckay, for imbibing too
much of John Barleycorn," was
taxed in the mild sum of So 40.
Mary Sullivan, an elderly person,
was fined s. 45, for being intoxicated.
Having no means of paying her fine,
she was discharged.
Three precocious boys of tender
years, led by that incorrigible little
scamp, Moses Levy, were arrested by
Marshal Wunderlieh, for stealing. and
taken before the Recorder. Young
Levy, by some means, procured key
and got into the liquor and cigar store
of Col. John Rheinlander. on Main
Street, on Sunday last, and carried of
cigars to the value of eighteen dol
lars. Levy was sent to Jail, in default
OF 500 bail. Tie is young in years,
but old in crime. He has made his
escape from the Lookup several times.
The other Toys were allowed to GO
home. The Recorder took the oppor.
tunity to deliver most eloquent lee
ture to the boys, and we hope that
the advice he gave will sink deep into
their hearts.

to properly arrange a new post Office

itants of the "old Post" Every citi

terday, on the Rapidan No. 2, from
Tennessee River, and the cotton
regions. He iraversed considerable
portion of Alabama, and reports the
cotton crop lighter than was generally
expected. Planters are not shipping
much, and are disposed to hold their
cotton. Our market has acquired a
very good reputation, and we are
credited with having an excellent
board of buyers.

A Hoe Casa trial over q hog,
before Justice Walker, occupied two
days, and was concluded about eight
o'clock last night. A live hog worth
about $14, was claimed by two parties,
Mr.. Brommelhaus and a negro named
Green. Mr.. B. had the hog in his
possession last week, but Green got
out a writ of replevin and took the
porker. The hog was hauled up to
the 'Squire's office yesterday evening,
and laid down on the sidewalk to
await the decision as TO who was the
owner. The jury gave the hog to
Mr.. Brommelhaus. The costs in this
case viii probably exceed $50.

CHEMICAL ExHIBITIoN.-We are
indebted TO Professor Willett, for the
following exposition of the object of
the Chemical Exhibition, to be given
at the High School Building on the
night of December 18th, with the
proposed programme of exercises:
The High School being sadly de-
ficient in suitable apparatus for illus
trating the instruction required In the
science of chemistry, and the School
Board not feeling able, in the present
state of their finances, to make an APP
preparation for this purpose, Mr..
WilIett, the Principal Of the High
termined to appeal to the libeiality of
the public in helping them to meet
this want, by giving novel and in
structiVe chemical exhibition, on the
evening of December 18th. 1t will
be their aim not merely to excite the
curiosity of their audience, by series
of interesting experiments, but they
intend that the especial merit of their
entertainment shall be the clear un-
folding of the principles of the sci
ence, which the experiments are de-
signed to illustrate.
Mr.. Willett will open the exercises
with very brief address on Alehe-
my and Modern Chemistry"
He will then give the class a rapid
and thorough examination on the
fundamental principles of the science.
By this method Of questions and an
swers, and by avoiding all unnecessary
