0rnhaus, Fair.

The Orphans Fair was well attended
last evening, the prominent feature being
the awarding of the gold badge and gold
mounted whip to the favorite driver OF
the Fire Department, which became
quite exciting toward the close of the
polls. At the time the secret voting
commenced the vote stood: Patrick
Scott, of the No. 2 Engine, l04 Jame0
Stokes, Of the No. Engine, II. Tive
hats were then placed on table, one
labeled Scott and the other Stokes, and
the friends Of the parties deposited their
greenbacks in them, adding more and
more until it was doubtful which was
ahead, and the polls were closed. On
counting the money, S488 rs was in the
No. hat, and 1887 rs in the No. 2 hat,
the total vote being Stokes, 5653 Scott,
49l4. The announcement was received
with applause by the friends of the sue
cessful candidate, and the other side
took it good humcredly, the affair having
been managed in fair and satisfactory
manner by Mr.. Matthew McKeon, who
is rendering valuable assistance to the
ladies at the fair. A handsome diamond
fling, at Mrs. Costello's table, is to be
awarded to the most popular young
lady several votes were recorded for
candidates for this beautiful prize last
evening. Victor D. Fuchs and John d.

In former days there dwelt in the
brave Corncracker State, in close prox.
unity to each other, a young, buxom and
wealthy widow, and bachelor of scarce.
ly more than her own age. Both had
inherited their property, and we're com
paratiyely sir myers to each other. But
their plantations joined, and many were
the acts of ncighborly kindness that
passed between. them. Well, as some
body sang to the witching widow Ma
chree, the time arrived when the .'birds
60 in pErs;" and tue widow found that,
although she had plenty of hen-turkeys,
she had none of the other persuasion
they having mysteriously disappeared.
But she knew that her neighbor had
plenty cf rare breed, and so sent Sam
DO over to borrow couple In, d,ie
time he came back with large gobbler
under, either arm, and a broad grin upon
his face:
"Well? = asked his mistress. 49,
"Massa said" was, the answer, IDA
he send dem turkeys, and dat if dey
didn't answer, he'd jest come over and
gobble his own SELF. '',.n,,.. ;. ),
"Go back aud tell him to come" com.
manded the widow, with cheeks like
peonics. .-.-...ry .>
The negro did as he was commanded
the bachelors horse was hitched tha,
night'until a late hour at the post ir
front of the widows door and there
was a wedding within three months.
