HBOWNFOHD came on a visit to the Fair, and in look ing aronnd at the rights, he discovered the Kimball Honae. He stood on the pavement below and looked np at its magnificent height so loeg and so steady that it made bis head swim, and he fell over on tho pavement When found, ilia bead was still swimming, and they carried him off. The Mayor ordered Jonsen to collect 3C and costs out of Kimbril fur building hie house so high and running np little shanties on the top which caused people to grow dizzy look ing at them. Jonsen said he wonld ride a t 9 it ont in the elevator, which was satisfac lory to all hands. FANNY BABKEN was not so barren as her name would in dicate, for the came into Court with a baby which was kioking and yelling like a young panther. It had the oolic, and Jonsen and Pat ? Fitzgibbons made it some loot tea to quiet its pains before the Court oonld proceed. Well, Fanny lived in a quarrelsome neighborhood, aad the disease woe so bad that she eaught the contagion, and bad a very se vere ultuok of it SJjo everlastingly went for two other women who were neighbors of hers, and tued—oh, auoh horrible language. For this the Court fiuod ho- •6 and eosts; but just then Fitzgibbons, who was holding the baby, let it fall, and it created sach a yell that the fine was re mitted, and the Oonrt harried from the room with its fingers in both ears.

Uftlay Sslra*. Bit Honor's reception yesterday morn ing was graoed by a very select delegation of gentlemen, courtesies, blondes and minstrels, gallants (oolomi) of the mosl approved stamp, accomplished slander- ere, and female pugilists, sud the pitiful victims of them all. His Honor aeoended the tribunal with u heart bleeding for hitman depravity, but with a will as impregnable aa Gibral tar, to ch'eck the ruin that threatens to engulf the precious morals of Atlanta; consequently, when a A SPARTAN -YOUTH, 'A stranger to fortune tnd fame,” but unfortunately not to Atlanta benriue, plead guilty to being drunk. His Honor reprimanded him severely, recorded the tl penalty, but a pearly tear-drop fell and blotted oot the offense forever, tnd the wsyward youth went twuy rejoicing. TWtfcOUNTRY GENTLEMEN, whose names w* will not mention, were arraigned for quarreling tnd disorderly oonduct. It seems that No. 1 wa* qui etly pursuing his way home, mnsing probably on the Fair and chil dren at home, when No. 2, dangling his feet over the counter of a store (just the position to crack a joke,) gavo a significant whistle, which, reach ing the ears of No. 1, aroused his wrath. He rode up to the door arid intimated to No. 2, that he had paid his taxes, and had a right to ride tho streets and not be subjected to ridicule snd open insult, and that he was ready to horse-whip him at any moment. No. 2, all humility, con sidering they had long been friends and neighbors, apologised, stating that no offense was meant; bat No. 1, not so easi ly appeased, alighted and advanced towards No. 2, with bis whip in a threat ening attitude, when No. 2 drew his knife. A serious difficulty was prevented by tho timely interference of friends His Honor, considering that heretofore No. 1 bad been a peaceful citizen, com promised the matter with an eloquent lecture on the disastrous consequences of hasty temper and serious joking, and 320 aud costs, which we fear deprived some prattling child of his candy at home. A WANDERING PUGILIST. Mary Phillips was accused of drank enness and quarreling. She denied the first charge. She loved moruing dram, but she believed she oould take as much as most people with out being affected. As to tho second charge she was not so certain. Her sis ter, ltosa Thompson, had a photograph (doubtless of Sir Knight Don Heginaldo deCardozo) which she refused to give up, and she assumed the responsibility of oorreoting her, snd prooeeded to inflict punishment by slapping her on the month. This slight-of-hsnd trick was enacted several (into*, to the edification of Iko pnblic and discomfiture of the un fortunate Rosa. About this time come policemen came np, and greatly indignant that such a novel and fancy exhibition should be enacted without the proper license, invited the young artitLs to the morning reception, where their talents were duly appreciated by a more enlight ened audience. A new feature of the exhibition was a ghastly soar on the fore head of Mias ltosa, which was accident ally (?) made by tho dextrous hand of the aoeumpliahed Mary, in her alight of hand maneuTres. License, 810. Hearty in duoement for another entertainment. THE H1NSTREL BAND was composed of Miasea Jon*s,MVright 4 Co., who played the bran new drama of “Family Jars” with an audienoo of somo hundred nr more who wore much more concerned about a pieeo of stolen cloth than tho show. Evidenco against thief insnfflclont ANNIE HONROE (colored), with a few jovial companions, made a fa morn charge on some innocent white children, hoping to tlrivo them from the aide Jwalk. His Honor, sstonuhed at this atrauge mode of warfare, and fearing that such a precedent might prove ruin on*, demanded as hostage his faithful ally aud armor-bearer, “Ten aud ooets.” Fir* al CartsrSTlII*. We learn that * fire broke out in the kitchen of the Bsrtou House, at Cartore- illo, on Wednesday morning, which cre ated considerable excitement and alarm for a time. The kitchen and rear build iugs were consumed, but no other dam age was done, the fire being checked without spreading to other parts of the town. A keg of whisky was rolled out from some building, which was imbibed quite freely, canring some considerable fighting, but no great harm was done. Tks West Polat Flrr_C*i«|ia«J-. About fifty members of this company arrived yasteiday, with their engine, and will contest for the premium at the Park to-day. On the arrival of the train, the com pany formed, and were escorted to No. 2 Engine house, when * nice collation was served, and a neat little reception speech of wolcome by Jimmie Onllatt, was rat ponded to by the Fbreman of the West Point Company, after which they marched to No. 1 Engine house, Broad street, where they also met n hearty welcome from the boys. A oom- mittee was appointed to provide accom modations for the visitor*, and they will remain guests of the Aflanta Fire De partment daring their stay. It ia seldom one sees a finer body of *n than the West Point boys, end we can tell their contestants in advanoe that a good deal of muscle and drill will be nsooaanry to “get around" these fellows. The Fair seems to monopolise the at tention of tho ladies—as they ere to be found there in abundance.

It is a compliment to the energy, pa triotism, spirit of enterprise and person al charms of the ladies, that, nothwith standing the many places of amusement in the city, their Fair 11*11, in James' New Building, is thronged every night with tho fashion of the city. And it is further a eulogy on their persuasive elo quence, whether with words, actions or more quiet, bat equally effective, de vices, or the gentlemen's liberality, that at every table and corner, purse* spill their contents into snowy hands. Ws dislike to l>e invidious, bat while en raptured with their many personal charms, we woDder if some oon‘ aiileration, stronger than adhesive, to build the new church, has not prompted this munificence. Some of these little charmers, not satisfied with these unwarrantable exactions of money, have, by some skillful maneavre, rifled hearts by the score, and then left their victims robbed of their last earthly hope. Bat all things “ are fair in love and war” and Church fairs. THE FLORAL BOWER Is a recherche, sequestered, sentimental retreat, alive with wines, traits, creams, candies, nectars, etc. It is an emporium of beanty, with something of that kind for its queen. TUB FEABL SEEKERS are a roving band of charming banditti who repay all their depredations by gentle smiles, and now and then a precious jewel discovered among the mul titude of precious wares. They aro still diving after hearts long since covered up with melancholy and dispondency. TUB ART OALLEBT is a surprise. We dare any one to visit the hall without resisting the temptation to enter this seolnded, weird, mysteri ous place. Yesterday the fair, among many other donations, received from New York a handsome PIECE OF STATUABY, representing the parting lover in the set of patting on the engagement ring. It lias thrilling associations for all who have passed this trying (?) ordeal, and to the uninitiated it is a charming losson. We’ll wager a jewsharp there's not a bachelor in the city that wonld dare look at it. The Fair is a success; it is a charming rceort. Citizens and visitors have been liberal, but with all this, Wesley Chapel is not yet completed. Go and swell the list of contributors ,and donations. Go vote presents of rings, bracelets, 4c. for your dearest dalcina, and lie down with a clear oonscienoe and a palpitating heart The Fair Gronnds presented a lively scene yesterday. The crowd was large and gay, and.every body wanted to seethe races. Tbe nigger could not be found to walk, bnt, notwithstanding, Vol. Dun ning kept trotting ont something for tbe amusement of the large crowd, and all went bobbing around, to the music of tho Marietta Band, who put up a good job of blowing. Erhole A Wllaoa certainly imagine that Oglethorpe Park ie a huge farm, and have a notion to cul tivate it, as they have a world of imple ments on hand, for the inspection of their friends and the public. W ilson is active in explaining the purposes for whioh they are intended, and we believe, hom his talk, that he knows as muoli about farming as his friend, H. G. Hass’s DUa* salsa tor, or, Cotton Seed Planter and Guano Dis tributor, is a wonderful little apparatus, whioh slings dirt and ootton seed about as near ths place as they could be plaoed with tbe hand. As Ham is a desperate poor talker—in fact, it is painful to hear the man try to talk, on account of that nn fortunate inpediment in his speech, the Disseminator was managed by Mr, John H. Cook, of Newnan, who so success folly demonstrated its uaequalod mer ts, that it was awarded the medal for the best dostribntion of guano and cotton seed on exhibition. Mark Johnson has undertaken to supply tbe public with this excellent implement. Tk* Rakaway on the track yesterday, was a little out of the regular order, but was neverthe less a good thing. Oar friend Taylor will no doubt tram his team to stick to tho track, as all were satisfied that Ned and Diok Taylor would have won tho pool but for their anxiety to go too fast. Tho fellow who wss so anxious to bet two to one on the bobtail horse, is a wiser man than he was, and poorer, if not a pauper. Rssalls took the premium offered for tho beet brood marc, as well as the one offered for the best preserved horse over 30 years. She is getting to be quite sa old maid, having reached the age of 33 years. She is well known earths “Georgia Filly"— (never was fractious, whioh accounts for her great age).

Steed- man’s calf, is Hitchoock's cake of soap, which weighs 800 pounds.

It is vary refreshing to see them about, a* we like their company, and are proud that they hare oome to pay their reepeote to oar Fair. And, also at the hum establishment, there ie au unusually large number of BffBEllfil La4l88, soma few brides, numerous beautiful belles who wouldn't lie brides, a camber of distinguished matrons, while occa sionally one sees an elderly (?) lady; bat they are all pretty and good, and we trust they are nappy, and will our midst* long tame. OeUm^H'B PARK. Ths Managers of the Fair have reason to feel flattered at the continued snocets of the exposition. Yesterday was a fine day. The weather was as good as if it was made to order; and, consequently, s first-rate crowd was in the Park. Every- tliiug passed off admirably, snd, ss far as we coaid learo, everybody was pleased. THE MECHANICAL HALL was not so crowded with exhibitors as last year. Public taste seems to have been inspired with the utility of orna ment more than tbe “utility of utility.” Chief among tbe attractions of yester day, were the specimens of ins, menu factored by the Atlanta Iae Mannlactur ing Company. It was bespangled with inlays of Arties, melons, (ruita, flowers, etc., and was truly beautiful. Some WINDOW CORNICES, made apparently of zinc, were exhibited by Joseph Querbacke, of Chattanooga. A MOVABLE SHELF, with shelves adjustibie to any position, is a novel invention. THE MAGIC CHURN of Mitchell 4 Smith, Decatnr, ought to b* enthroned King of the Daily, every where. THOMAS M. CLARK A CO** fine display of assorted tools was Ous at traction on the second floor. THE SCOFIELD ROLLING MILL COMPANY exhibits a bar of railroad iron sixty feet long. Two sach rails wonld be sufficient to construct a short line of rood, and thoy wonld make on admirable one. COAL. A. C. Ladd exhibits a lot of Anthra cite coal, also a bushel of Tennessee coal, which is tbe nearest approximation we have over seen to tbe Pennsylvania can- nek Both these specimens are regarded aa very fine, and with plenty of either a whole family could be kept comfortable daring an euti-e winter. Just here we might toko occasion to say that Ladd contributes much to the interest of the Fair. He has his hy draulic and alabaster limes on exhibition; bnt is in his element most when upon the lightning rod qu stion. He has on ex hibition no less than eleven different styles of rod, any one of which he will guarantee to be a perfect protection against lightning. ANOTHER LIGHTNING HOD Is most beautifully displayed by tbe Southern Star Lightning Bod Company. This company has its manufactory and hosdqaarters at Gainesville, at the other end of the Air Line Railroad, and our friend, J. E. Bedwine, of tho Eagle, is President. They make a handsome show. OTHER MATTERS. Mr. Joseph S. Lehman, of Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, exhibits a splendid assort ment of ooverlete, of his own design end manufacture. These ore very beautiful, and deservedly attract much attention. Mr. Lehman is a young man, fall of busi ness, and has great ingenuity. He buys all his yams from this State, and it is hoped that before he leaves here he will moke arrangements to have his goods regularly on sale here. Dr. Tabor exhibits a knitting machine, which draws a crowd all the time. Mr. L. B. Langford makes a fine dis play of enameled elate and iron mantels. Mr. Charles Bohnefeld shows some furniture, which is superb. THE MISIATUBtfirEAMEB attracts many visitors to the pond.

Miss Isabel, as a comedian, is among the first rank, and here, as her companion in art, we mast mention the inevitable Templeton, who it the tool of faroe in play. To-night will be acted Viotor Hugo’s celebrated tluoe act play Notae Dame. New Rates of Advertising* We aak special attention to the nni- forrn rateH of advertising adopted by the Daily Press of Atlanta, to be found ia onr first column. This pats ell toe pa pers in this agreement upon the si footing. We have adopted a low sched ule of rates which cannot be otherwise than satisfactory to advertisers, and have agreed to adhere to them faithfully and impartially. This coarse will prevent any ground of complaint. Tkc Grand Races. At the request of tbe subscribers to the Citizens’ Purses for Saturday’s races, Messrs. O. H. Jones, S. A.

He began life a poor boy—came to thia city poor, and by hit own efforts, has grown wealthy. His pros]>ei-ity bos not moved him from hi* integrity, or turned his head, in too least; bnt he is plain and unpretending aa over. He has proved himself to be one of the ablest financiers in the State of Georgia, or any ether State. Hie charities are greeS. He hss given away enough to nske a' toe fortune. Every thing tost ho over pat his hand to hss prospered, and no om erer etiregsi him with wrong. Ws need jut Rich s man for Mayor. There ia nothing we need in oar city government so much ss s man of the integrity snd financial ability, of John H. Junes, to see that the money paid into the Treasury, by the honest hardworking tax payer* of Atlanta, is not gobled up by tbs tohemert or spent, whet* it will do ao good. As Mayor, he would do mors to puah foweed the prosperity of Atlanta, than any man who has yet been named for tbs office. Such It my opinion. His great abilities wonld be honestly tnd faithfully "*rttii for the benefit of tbe whole city. If our people want a Mayor who will so adminis ter the government as to do the grea test good with tbe means at hand, let them elect Mr. James. I hope he will be nominalod. A Voter.
