on Saturday night last. The affair through
| out was marked with the utmost good order
and good feeling, Notwithstanding the great
| number of visitors who almost constantly
| filed to oVerfowing the rooms in which the
exhibition was held, and we doubt whether
| any one Of the many who contributed 50 lib
| orally of their time and money In furtherance
| eff the good cause feel now that they have
| done themselves injustice il making the sac
| rifces they did.
Not one of our readers. we venture to say,
| in vie W Of the season, the Etringency in the
| money market and other circumstances of a
no less discouraging character. would have
| been bold enough, at the opening of the Fair.
| TO have offered one thousand dollars for the
| gross receipts and yet we are now. at the
close Of the enterprise. agreesbly startled
| with the announcement that. after all ex-
| penses shall have beer paid, there will still
remain erer eighteen hundred dollars as the
result of this well managed and most liber-
ally patronized enterprise. This is certainly
a most pleasing and unexpected exhibit, and
to many of our own citizens and not a few
from neigh boring localities Is due the high
est mede of praise for the patronage so Law
ishly bestowed by them in aid of 50 good
and needy cause.
We give below the full result of the draw
ings and bsllotings they have been fur
nished us for publication, ard it is worthy
of mention that when the gold watch drawn
by Flo-entine Hoover was called for the lady
who had it III charge was presented by the
applicant with ten dollar gold piece as
voluntary contribution 10 the building fund
of the church. Such hberality is worthy Of
emulation
