inimitable stock of Alaska diamonds.
Other business arrangements prevent
Mr.. Davis again offering for sale his
goods in this city. As matter Of course
those who have purchased these SPLEEN
did gems will prize them highly, as it is
the scarcity of all precious stones that
alone makes them valuable. Wherever
Mr.. Davis should locate, we hope he
will meet with every success.

The attendance yesterday was min
itely larger than on any previous day
OF the Fair. The number Of people was
yariously estimated at from five to ten
thousand by competent judges. Be it as
it may, the success of the Fair was
more than realized yesterday, and ex-
ceeded the expectations Of its most san
guine friends.
The different halls we're crowded to
excess, and it was with the greatest diff
ficulty that you could get from one
point to another, so great was the crush
Of humanity.
STOVES AND CRATES.

was awarded to Bucks Brilliant, en-
tered by

youngest apprentice, and the premium
for milk cans, were awarded to the house
Of Risk & johnson. This firm has a
magnificent stock of goods for sale,
which will be disposed of at the lowest
prices.
HATS AND FURs.
The beautiful display of hats, caps
and furs inclosed in glass case in the

miration Of all visitors. These are
merely specimens Of the goods to be
found for sale at the house of Messrs.

B. Galbreath, A. c. Treadwell, N. Foni

Unless they do this they violate their oath

1t is furthermore the duty of every man who
SHOWS that his property has been rated at

we would call the attention Of assessors aud

some one was interesting themselves to pre-
