It was rumored on Tuesday morning
that the early morning train South on the
c., c., c. & |. had done that which we have
anticipated for months-had actually fast
ened on to Miller's restaurant and taken it
South. No blame can be attached to the
railroad employees, for only upon close in
spection can il be toli from C., s. e. C.
sleeping coach. The Directors have been
asked for the return of the ornament, and
its arrival is eagerly looked for. -.
Our County Fair opened not brilliantly,
the exhibits coming in slowly, and but few
things of attraction could be seen. The
managers promise great things by Friday.
To-day will be taken up mostly by the arri-
val of goods and their classification.
The display of machinery, from
present indications, will be decidedly
thin, yet some of our manufacturers
may give this portion of the show big lift
to-day. Of the sheep, poultry and horses
much can be said. Of side-show fakes
there is an abundance. An attraction, Sc
cured by the managers, is the rope perform
ance to be given by Prof. Leon three times
daily; he walks upon wire rope stretched
in the tree tops within the exhibition circle
Meals can be had reasonable upon the
grounds, the restaurant being in the hands
of Mr. c. F. Rohner. A special force has
been appointed to retain order. A rumor
has been afloat for several days regarding
the admttance fee, the same placing it at
90 cents. The managers desire it under
stood that the old rates, % cents, is what is
required for the entire show. Some good
running races by two-year-olds and three
year old trot occupy the track to-day.
Among the entries are Chestnut, Kentucky
Boy, Maggie c and Snowstorm.

1t is now proposed to dispose of the New
port & Dayton Street Railway at auction.
The sale supposed to have been effected
some weeks ago was not consummated,
through the understanding that new
stock company was to be formed.
Last evening panic was occasioned by
one of the old dummies bursting out in
flames, and the startling cry of Fire was
raised. The first man to tumble out
over the dash board was Arthur,
the conductor. and he was speedily
followed by John Ramsey, who
performed double summersault in the
air. Fred. Heidrich and the ail-bag were
next seen flying through space, closely
pressed by along-legged newspaper man and
two or three ladies, whose voices and lungs
were equal to the occasion. George Wemer,
the infant, got stuck fast in the dummy
door, thus forcing Harris, the plasterer, to
squeeze himself out through one of the
windows, which he did like little man.
Unfortunately for the human race, the old
ratte-trap did not burn up but still re-
mains to scare poor passengers out Of their
