for their coming fair at Music hall. AS is

liberal patronage of the people, which
will without doubt be freely accorded.

will occur has not yet been defnitly set
tied, but probably the 18th or goth of the

Near the candy man there was yesterday
stationed sleek looking young gentle
man, engaged Ill giving practical lessons
IN the art of money getting, which were
illustrated by wooden ball suspended to
brass chain. The secret of the matter
was to swing the globe without knocking
down certain wooden pin which Joined
part of the professors kit. For making
the experiment fee Of twenty-five cents
was exacted. but this little game did not
seem to work well, although the professor
tried hard to impress the beauties of his
system on the minds of his hearers, they
wouldn't bite, and only two gudgeons were
hooked in the course of the afternoon.
The place on Chestnut street where the
man with the wheel of fortune and the
pewter spoons held forth was yesterday
occupied by long tongued individual.
whose stock in trade consisted of lip and
cough candy. Four sticks of the latter
were offered for the small sum of So, al
though the vender assured his audience
that S. would be small price for so valu-
able medicine. Nobody would invest.
Finally sale was effected to a confeder-
ate, probably. Around one of the sticks
a S. bill was wrapped. At this unheard
of luck the dollars rolled in as fast as the
doctor could hand out his candy, which
was carefully deposited in the mud when
by a greenback. If any
one got sick of his purchases he kept it to
himself, but the doctors face indicated a
successful harvest.
