The CATHOLIC FAIR - SIXTH
NIanT.-The attendance at the Cath
Ollie Fair, at the new School House.
on Saturday night, was quite large.
and the general interest seemed not
the least whit abated, although it was
the sixth night Of the Festival The
receipts at the door were about 365,
and the various fancy tables were
better patronized than on any mevi-
Gus night. \ large number Of prizes
were drawn, but the large. prizes, such
as the fine set CT chairs. sewing ma
chimes, &c, were NOT ratified off. The
drawing Of these articles, We believe,
will take place at the Hall at three
o'clock this afternoon. The cake and
refreshment tables were Literally sup
ported during the evening.
The receipts Of the Fair have been
large-unnsually so, considering the
scarcity Of money-but as each table
has been in friendly opposition against
the others, the amounts received at
each have not yet been made known.
As an instance Of tho large receipts.
we are informed that three hundred
and fifty chances. Of one dollar each,
have been sold ON one sewing ma
chine that was donated to the Fes-
tival.
To day grand lunch will be set as
usual, and the public in general are
invited to attend.

auction, and all articles not disposed
of heretofore-and there are a large
number-wiil be sold to the highest

A Wi'd Boy I'm Iowa.

Considerable excitement exists in Est
Davenport and Gilbert Town, in conse-
quence OF wild boy who has been seen
by several veracious individuals, prowl-
ing about the woods at the back of
Judge Grants fam and on the rivers
bank and islands. About week ago,a
man returning from q shooting eXcur-
sion, saw what he at first ok for some
wild animal crouchlng by the bauk of
the river. 1t suddenly plunged in and
emerged with fish, which it dtvoured
ravenously. Getting closer to it he saw
that it was boy, apparently about fif-
teen or sixteen, entirely without clothes,
and covered with light sandy hair of a
silky appearance. He plainly saw the
face, and describes it as revoltingly ugly
and brutal in its aspect. He attempted
to approach it, but the creature became
alarmed, and, taking to the water, swan
to neighboring island, and hid in tn,
sedges. On returning home he gave
information, and a close lookout has
been kept. The creature, whatever 1T
may be, has been seen twice since, ard
