THE DAY BOOK.
THURSDAY MORNING, June 8, 1869

The CATHOLIC FAIR.-This cbarita-
BILE enterprise opened in Mechanics
Hall, on Main street, last evening. The
attendance was large and brilliant, and
we hope to be able to make the same
report every day during ito existence.
The spacious and beautiful hall is ele-
gantly decorated with contributions
from Flora, and handsomely hung with
landscape and other pictures, present.
ing most pleasing sight. The tables
fairly groaned beneath their delicious
burdens, and "to ladies eyes around,
boys" the heart throbs a warmer re-
spouse than it would even to the most
enrapturous strains of music. We sin
cereIy hope the unremitting efforts of
the ladies in their labor of love will be
rewarded with the success it deserves.
They have begun most auspiciously,
and we trust generous public will see
that it ends similarly. Tomorrow we
will give fuller account.
New BANK.-A new institution
called the Atlantic Bank, has been
started in this city, and is located under
the Atlantic Hotel, on CRANKY street.
1t is now open for business operations,
and we wish the new enterprise every
success. A great pressure now exists
in the money market, which we hope it
may relieve, in measure, at least.
THE WEATHER.-The temperature
of yesterday assimilated that of the
day before. The thermometer at San
tos' drug store stood at SO degrees at
noon, 80 degrees at o'clock, and 80
degrees at 4 o'clock-in the shade. In
the sun it went up to 100.
OxEN.--Ten of the largest oxen we
ever saw came down on the Richmond
boat yesterday afternoon. They came
originally from Thomastown, Maine,
and weigh 1000 pounds to the yoke, Or
1000 pounds each. This is what we
call huge, They were en- route North.
A COOP JoKE.-On Monday next,
the 9th instant, our talented townsman
W. II. G. Ellis, Esq, proposes address
ing our country friends, at Princess
Anne Court House, in behalf of Walker
and the expurgated Constitution. Hav-
ing announced his willingness to meet,
on that occasion, any gentleman in a
discussion of the issues involved, we
learn that the iirepressible DR.. Gorilla
Ape Congo Bayne will be on hand with
the gauntlet, which he intends throwing
down for Ellis to pick up. We are not
informed whether the latter will accept
the challenge Or not, but hardly think,
after the rich pickings he has been used
to, that he will stoop TO pick negro,

why Irving Remained 4 Bachelor.

A correspondent of the Jewish Nessen-
ger gives new explanation of the reason
why the late Washington Irving always
remained a bachelor Speaking of Miss
Rebecca Gratz. Jewess, Of Philadel-
phia, distinguished for her zeal in works
of charity. who has just died at the ripe
age of lightweight, be says: Twenty
years ago | heard the story-a story that
has long been current in Philadelphia in
Jewess circles, among her friends and ac-
quaintances, and which has again been
revived here since her death It runs
thus: Many years ago, when Miss
GratZ was young girl, Washington Irv-
ing. then already risen in literary reputa-
ton, came to Philadelphia and became a
visitor at the house of her family. It is
said in youth she was very beautiful and
very good and as her acquaintance with
Irving increased, the beauty Of both her
character and her features, together with
the fact that she was living representa-
live Of that nation whose whole history is
romance, so wrought upon lis heart that
he became deeply enamorcd with her. 1t
5 needless to say that had his attachment
l'een never SO strong, with her strength
in her faith, it would have been wasted
AS it was, it was wasted Irving left the
city, but did not forget the lady of his
love" The writer adds that Irving sub
sequently mentioned te Sir Walter Scott
bis intimate acquaintance with the beauti-
full Rebecea of Philadelphia: Scott, it
appears, was writing or about to write,
Ivanboe,. and upon the strength OF Irv-
jpg's description of the lovely Jewess. so
firm to her faith, named his heroine Re
becca.
