4 WESTERN FA1G-We see that the Char
lo:te papers. with their usual enterprise,
are urging the holding Of an Agricultural
Fair in their city next year We hope the
Fair will be held, but we think Salisbury
is the moct eligible point. Being situated
at the junction Of the n. Q. and ". n. G.
Railroads, it is certainly more accessible to
all parts Of the West than Charlotte. But
| if we cannot get it at Salisbury, then we
are for Charlotte.

day night last Mr.. Dempsey Sorrell of this
county had his mare stolen, and en- Tues
day night Mr. Solomon King, residing in
the same neigl borhood, lost horse from
his stable. Suspicion pointed to the noto-
rious horse thief, Eli Dampier, as the per-
son who had taken them, and Mr.. Sydney
Bryant Of this city, aided and accompanied
by Mr.. Tonnoffski and others, went in pur-
suit. Both the animals were recovered,
| but the thief Dampier, escaped III the
darkness of the night.
On yesterday, the matter We learn, was
brought before Justices Adams ana Har-
rison of this city, who, upon proper affida-
Wits, issued a writ of outlawry against Eli
Dampier, whose acts have rendered him
notorious throughout this and adjoining
counties. Raleigh Sentinel.
