Marion, a young married man, lives in the

A. H. Red, lives about half mile dis
tant. He Is also farmer, and has hereto
fore been regarded as peaceable and re-
spectacle citizen, and on friendly terms with
his father-in law and brother-in. law.
Ga Thursday morning about daylight
young Lewis was out doing his morning
work, about one hundred yards from the

ard spoke to him out Reed, who bad a
large club by ki- side, passed him without
at Reds strange conduct, and kept an

he drew the club, and without saying any

CaGhpslvRl Fair,

The crowd at the fair was larger last night
than it had been on any of the proceeding
nights. and the receipts still larger in pro.
portion. As this was the last night 1t was
to be held, all the larger and more valuable
articles we're disposed by lot, and the smaller
and less valuable ones by auction. At last
.the drawing for the splendid chamber set
WAS announced. A committee was selected
from the audience, the manner in which il
should be drawn for agreed upon by tfem !;
a little son of Mr. Nor. ans placed upon the
chair and the drawing commenced. AZ the
numbers we're slowly drawn and announced
many eager countenances were visible,
each one expressive of the hope that their E
wou'd be the lucky number. At last came
the final draw, when il was announced that
number 80, held by Mr.. T. W. Leonard,
had drawn the prize. This gentleman was
very fortunate last night, having also drawn
several splendid pictures. A little harmless
dinciug Was indulged in, and at last the
crowded dispersed, and the weary work.
ers went home we'll satisfied with the
result of their l.bors. One of the falr la
dies in charge OF the shooting gallery in
formed us that the proceeds far exceeded
their expectations, and from others we learn
ed that, although the amount of the pro-
ceeds could not as yet be exactly estimated,
one and all agreed that, Notwithstanding the
unfavorableness of the time, the fair had
been decided success.

popular in the Fourth Ward, but it is hard

odent which occurred at a phllopena party
there last week. The lady who held the
slmnnd between her teeth was somewhat ad-

Tue almond was uncommonly tough, and
the man who nibbled at it was in dead

harder, but made no impression. He
enched his jaws upon it and gave a des-

TOMMY on THE RAMPAGE.
The UngOvernable Temper Of a
Sixth Street Urchin.

Tommy Landigan, who resides with his
parents ON Sixth .treet, came down stairs
from his little cot the other morning at late
hour, and, pretending to be ugly, asked in
voice Of l6-year-old-thundes, Why his break
fsst was not ready. His sister and his
mother. thinking the youth enraged, did
their bes. to soo,h him by insinuating that
he was a poo1-for-nothing, lazy boy, and in
tima,ing in tones not TO be misunderstood,
that he might whistle for his morning re-
past This did no: appear to please the dis.
con=ola.e youth, and pretending that he
could not be appeased, he murmured quite
audibIy concerning the great number oi
privileges that were forced upon boys in gen.
eial, and Thomas L rndigan in particular,
and, by way OF a surprise party. he fsIgned
rage, and frantically cluiching hif
small sisters big wsI doll, he twisted
the entire head (including the crimson
cheeks and straw colored hair, which
wax dolls have entirely of the body, and
threw the di-jointed pride OF his sister
heart on the cold ground. For common
boys this would be enough, but not for the
-ubect of this sketch. Sill Stimulating wrath,
his eagle eye fell on his mother. favorite
vase, present when che was married, from
a rejected lover. who intended its size should
-ymbalize the rpace made vacant in his heart.
1t was the laborious exsrtion of a very short
space Of time to raise the vase high in the
air, and in the next moment II went through
the window, whose panes were nine by six
inches, and shsttering both the vase and the
window. But If our hero has any ability, il
is jig dancer. and persons who have often
seen him perform say the best jig they ever
saw him execute was the one he hoped down
that night when his respected and beloved
father came home.

FIRE.
A COmmOtiOn at the Commercial
Office.

Last evening about seven O'Clock the jot
rooms of the Commercial office were discov.
cred to be in flames, and the employees Of
that establishment were soon on the streets
bowling like madmen and capering about
with bundles of paper packed on their shoul-
ders. When the alarm was first given the
flames had made considerable headway, but
few buckets of water and stream from an
e1tirgulsher made everything safe. Several
fonts Of type were destroyed, and the form.
Of the Argas melted. Ii lie a mystery how
the fire originated. There was stove in the
room, but the flames started quite distance
from i. The fire department was promptly
on hand, but there was no occasion for their
services. The loss is estimated 8: between
$500 and 81 900.

The fellow beat ha.ty retreat, but no, fas,

Came in. Before be knew where he VA,
he had fallen over the stove, knocking half q
