Anderson Agricultural Fair.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t was my pleasure, in compa-
ny with other gentlemen, to visit the Fair
grounds to-day and witness the progress of
preparation. We were agreeably surprised
The Board of Directors have purchased beau
tiful and accessible plat of ground, immediate
ly in front of Mr.. S. Bleckley's, one-balf mile
from the public square. A large and commo-
dious two-story building, 80 by 40 feet, is nearly
completed, furnishing ample room for all agri-
cultural and domestic exhibitions on the lower
floor, aud the upper floor lookout, covering
the entire grounds, sufficient to accommodate
hundreds of persons. The circular race track,
encircling the building, is said To be third OF
a mile. A smaller track inside is to be pre-
pared for the exhibition of stock. The whole
grounds are being enclosed by close plank
fence, feet high, giving ample room between
it and the track for the accommodation OF car
riages, in which persons may sit and witness
the exercises. Refreshments and delicacies of
all kinds will be furnished on the ground. In
a word, everything promises If to be one Of the
grandest affairs that the up-eountry has ever
known. j ,i'fs .1,s..t" t.9
In addition to the above, extensive prepara-
tions art being made by the A[asons to furnish
splendid entertainments each night in shape Of
Concerts, Charades, &C., at the Masonic Hall.
Altogether, it will be worth dozens of circuses
and monkey-shows to ourselves and children.
It is understood the railroads will make liberal
arrangements for the accommodation of the
public. i.. VISITOR.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN SAYANNAH.-An
awful and appalling tragedy occurred in Savan-
nah, Ga, on last Friday, wherein young man
dangerously wounded his father and then killed
himself The particulars as given by the Neaos
are as follows: - iad H!j .g9 q
I Early in the morning, the deceased, AleSan-
der Dillon q youth about eighteenyears of age,
had been taken to task by David r. Dillon, his
father, about some business which the latter
had instructed him to do. This occasioned the
passage of some sharp words, when it is alleged
the father called his son, miserable puppy"
This epithet it seems wounded the feelings of
the Young man deeply, and he left the house,
threatening retaliation for the insult. Young
Dillon then either went and bought pistol or
borrowed one Jour information on this point Is
not positive and about ten o'clock entered his
fathers office. Mr.. Dillon at once spoke to him
about his failing, to see to the hauling of some
hay, as he was ordered to do. Young Dillon
replied that he had done so. This assertion
was doubted by his father, who stated that he
was not half loaded To this young Dillon
made no reply, when his father said, "Clear
out, and 90 home" The deceased then said,
you insulted me by calling me a puppy this
morning, and won't take that from any one"
and drawing pistol, commenced firing at his
father. Three Shots were fired in rapid success
sion, all of which took effect, one in the left
side of the head, back of the ear, inficting
scalp wound a second in the Aeshy part of the
right arm, near the shoulder, and the third in
the right thigh. None of the wounds were Sc
rious Young Dillon then pointed the weapon
to his own breast and fired, the ball entering the
heart and causing death in short time. 1t
was reported that after the third shot the older
Dillon attempted to seize the pistol, and in his
efforts SO change its direction it was pointed di-
rectly at the breast of his son and discharged.
This, however, was not brought out in the evi..
dence of Mr.. Dillon himself at the inquest, and
no mention is made of it; but another witness,
Isaac Ehrlich. stated that Mr.. Dillon ran at his
son to seize the pistol; hence the report. The
weapon used was perfectly new, lately patent
ed, four barrelled revolving Derringer, and ap-
parently had never been fired before. 1t car
ries regular Derringer ball.

nar The election is progressing quietly, and
good order has been maintained up to this

City Fathers.

Ma. EDITOR: Whilst volald not offer one
word of complaint against the Town Council
with regard to the appropriation Of money for
the Improvements on the streets, &c; which IS
all very well, we do most solenniy complain
against the police regulations Of the town. Is
it possible that on rainy days, sale days, elec-
ton days, and almost any other days, that
ladies may not be allowed to walk our streets
without being liable to hear all kinds Of pro-
family and obscenity? Sir, will say that I
have known ladies who felt compelled to take
different streets to avoid the contact. Are the
doors of business houses to be hedged ins by
such influences? Are the ladies of the coun
try to be afraid to walk the streets without hus-
band, father or brother at their side7 Are we
to be afraid of riots, as understand was threat
ened on Saturday night last? Ihope not. Let
us have some money expended in the construc
ton of a substantial Calaboose, convenient to
the square, and let the Fathers imperaively
require that the Marshals shall at once conduct
