The rAhaiast Fair.

To THE EDITOR OF THE PHRNIX: The
young people connected with the recent
fair given for the benefit of the Palmetto
Orphans Home, return manifold and sim
oere thanks to all the benevolent ladies
and gentlemen-too large in number to
enumerate individually-who assisted
them 30 ably and generously in their
work. They desire especially to express
their obligations to the Arm Of Kingsland
d Heath, Nessrs. w. B. Stanley and H.
Solomon, for numerous srts of Kindness
and courtesy; and also to express their
grateful acknowledgements to the men,
'bers of the Post hand, who bestowed
their services gratuitously, and whose
beautiful music added greatly TO the
pleasure and brilliancy Of the occasion.
Nor would they fail to testify their high
appreciation of kindness received at the
hands of the DAnY PH&Nn and Union-
Herald. The success of the undertaking
has proved far beyond the most sanguine
expectations of the management, and af-
fords them much qualification. And it
will, no doubt, be pleasing reflection to
all who participated IN this delightful
entertainment, that they have assisted in
relieving the wants of those in misfor-
tune and conferred happiness on many
grateful hearts.
