The engines, rejoicing in all the glory of burnished brass and glittering ornament, 'lookedjaunty and pleasant. The Band of the Mountain City discoursed pleasing mu* sic.

The • Has the Fair heen a Success* The Fair is over. The streets are quiet. The crowd has gone—the ladies (bless their tired little soles) are housed np closely—the men are clearing up the debris and coun ting tfieir gains and, losses—and everybody is wondering whether or not the Fair was a success. It was emphatically a great success. The stockholders have found it to ben success. It has been an honor to the Chero kee country—it has been productive of much fun and great benefit. The managers are jubilant, the Romans complacent and every, body in good humor abont the Fair. Bat the incalculable advantages that are to be reaped from the Fur are not yet ap{ parent—they will be palpably and delight fully manifest however by one year from date. The managers were limited in their, efforts in regard to the first Fair by the fear that the people would not take an interest in it and that it would be a drag—hence they did not offer a very rich or comprehensive premium list No such fear will possess them while they make arrangements for the Fair for 1870. In the last few days it has been fnlly de monstrated that this section of country will annually support a first-class Fur. Hence in the future the premium lists will be such that farmers and stock grow ers, from all sections of the South, will be empted to send in their goods for exhibi tion. Already premiums have been offered for the beet ten acre lot- of wheat, to be grown for the Fair of 1870. The vnanagers now in Convention, will doubUess offer handsome premiums for all kinds of crops, grown daring the coming year—-our form ers almost without exception will contend for one or all of these prizes—the conse quence will be that immediately agriculture and all accompanying departments will have tremendous impulses given them, and that this country will “bloom and blossom like the rose.” In onr next issne we will bo able to talk more freely upon this subject, we shall ooa- tinue to urge our farmers to put more at tention and care to their crops. Upon an advanced system of agriculture the welfare of the country depends. This advanced sys tem our Fair has commenced to establish. Then dlseardjpg all the other benefits de rived from It, we repeat with emphasis, THAT THE FAIR WAB A SUCCESS. TrsaMe Auoagtlu little FUks. There is a hubbub bang kicked np by Tom Thumb & Ca. Tommy, you know, was bought out by Barnaul, as tha smal lest man in the world, aud enjoyed the smiles and moneys of a wondering public fora long time. At length he met a little woman about twe feet and one, and he—eimceptiUe lit tle raseal—ww struck with an attachment for the female Titbit, courted her after the mo6t approved style, gained the consent of papa Bantam, and monied her. He now revelled in ' the mot qomp'ete monopoly ever enjoyed by any poor mortal, aad when at length, Mrs, Thumb give her lord anether little Thumb, An world actually went frantic with delight, and good was showered plentifully on the li|tit folks. Bnt alas, Tom having in fortune grown so great it is announced that there is a little fellow named MeKibben by 4 inches Tom’s superior inferior. Botha being from North Carolina, and a tar-stained and ill-mannered little cuss, Tom tried to laugh him down, as not being worthy the survey of deomt people. Bnt lo 1 a woman Jittler than Tom’s wife, is now dissevered, and littjs Kibby is vigorously poshing for the tiny q>4j; in tending towed bar if wed she oau be, and Tom is in agony, he bang, already bond by ties matrimonial to« woman bigger than Kilby’s intended.

If you can’t then sit down aud console yourself with the hope that Kibby’i wife went sent him with an heir, andlet joa bold the championship in that department, at any rate. The Atlanta papers have been amusing for sometime, and the Intelligencer, in a late issne, says that while it has the largest circulation and bruinem, that there is real ly not enough support given all three to justify the running of one.

The Supreme Court has confirmed Ae decision in the ease of Dean vs. Harvey, rendered by the Circuit Court sometime since. Property had been bought during the late war, by one party from anotner— and paid for is Confederate money. The question to be decided was, whether tho Confederate money payment was suffi cient consideration to entitle the purobsse to half the property bought, It being argued that the Confederate money being in rebel lion against Ae General Government, all notes issued by that government were ille gal. The Supreme Court decided in favor of purchasers. As there is mnch property which was bought and paid for in this man ner, and as this settles Ae question' finally, Ae (fosisiau sriH ifi ^/interest Jp our /end-, era, _ Is the State Koad Jn.splvent !

The board of Directors, besides assum ing a pecuniary risk in As Inoipienoy of the design, have been absolutely untiring jn their efforts to make Ae Fair, what it should be and wbnt is bos been. They have at the expense of all other business, given valuable time to Ae ad vancement of tho pommon grpgi, agd in the name of onr subscribers and of the Romany in general, we render these hearty acknowl edgements, and appreciation of their aetion.

A HwicUe In unatteaga Coanty by Ueg- ulators. - A murder was committed in Summer ville on Ae night of Monday, Ae 1st inst, of which the following are Ae particulars, as related by a responsible gentleman : 1 [Mr. Joseph L. Boss, who lived ncar Aat place, bad been charged with maltreating his wife, and about* week previous she had left him. At about nine o’clock of the night' cf Ais sad affair, eight or ten men In disguise, called on Mr. Ross, at his residence, and gave him a pretty plain lecture : upon Ae ■object of abasing his wife, informing him that that was one of Ae Aings that would not be tolerated in that community, bnt made no threat unless it was implied in .the order thafhe most not leave the honse until they had been gone two hours. They departed in Ae direction of Sum merville. He immediately got h>S home and followed them. At the town he come np with them, aad rode into Aeir midst.— They twice or three times ordered him to halt. He was determined to find ant who Aey were, and that he snapped his pistol several times, but it failed to fire. A sin gle shot was fired at him, which took ef fect, and caused his death last Wednesday. The party of disguised men were last seen some ton miles from Summerville, riding in Ae direction of Alabama, j One informant states that he has been told that Mr. Boas said Aat he recognized no one of Ae party. He was a staunch democrat, and always has been, and neiAer his friends nor any one else in that community attribute politi cal motives to Ae party of disguised men.

One of the most remarkable animals of Ae Rocky Monotaios is Ae Rocky Moon- tain rat, the Neoloma Cmered of Beard, also known as Ae Neoloma Oecidentatit, and called in Oregon Ae w»d rat. A foil grown rat is often nine inches in lengA from tip of nose to base of tail, while Ae tail adds abont as muoh more to its'IengA. Its hair is soft, gray on Ae back and whitish on Ae belly, ears short but broad, and round tail bushy at Ae tip. It is Ae worst thief ia Ae animal creation, not ex* cepting man, for it always steals and does not stop to consider whether what be steals is valuable or not. Many strange stories are told concerning its stealing noils, can dles, etc., and bringing baek in return ma nure and all sorts of offals. Its operations often have Ae appearance more of having been Ae result of a desire to be employed than anything else. On oneoucation J. Alden Smith, of this office, says he bad standing in his office in clear Creek ooun- ty, half a keg of nails, containing three ris es, and daring m single night these rets took out all Ae nails qnd piled them upon the floor in three pile*, each size by them selves. 'The same animals night after night, brought in heaps of manure from an outhouse. But even a stranger trick than this was performed in Ae honse of Mr. Hale on Tuesday night. On going to bed he placed his false tee A on the bureau. In Ae morning Ae teeth were gone and a raw potato left, in Aeir place. After a long search, tearing off Ae weaAer-board- ing in several places, Aey were found in Ae nest of one of these rats. The rat had started to carry off the potato, bnt finding Ae teeth took them and left Ae potato. HYMEN IN 1760.
