It was n striking epeotacle, and cnongh
to gladden the heart of the philanthro
pist in these Cays of scarcity and die-
trees at the Sontb.
One feature in the matter, too, was
peoteliy noteworthy and commendable.
All of the contributions were to be dis
tributed among the poor of the commnni

tional connections. This is true charity.
An excellent disoourse was delivered by
a clergyman whose name we failed to

Stringfellow, made an address fell of

were deeply interesting, and to the writer
nniqaeand impressive.

THB EAST ALABAMA FAIR.
This exposition is not confined to Ala

Georgia and Florida, and Is well repre
sented by eaob. The President, Col. H.
Hawkins, and Secretary 0. O. Shorter,
assisted by an able exeontive committee,
hare spared no pains In their exertions in
behalf ot the exhibition, and with the
most gratifying success. The display of
blooded boraeB and racers is about ene
hundred, and we notice many choice spec
imens of oattlo, hogs, poultry, and a few
cheep and goate.
Some of the bast horses in the South
are advertised to compete for tho purees
offered, so the lovers of the tnrf are
happy and exultant.
Tne writer is forced to admit that he
takes very little pleasure iu these field ex
hibits, and none whatever in the ealvs ot
pcols which were so aotive laet night,
and the gambling whioh ia always tbe
concomitant of a horeeraoe. But chacun
_ son gouti and he refraines from condemn
ing those who differ with him. It the
racing could be divested of the betting
feature, then as mere trials of speed be
tween mettlesome and blooded homes he
could enjoy the contest.
Tho managers of the fair are endeav
oring to plaoe their Association upon a
PERMANENT BASIS,
by raising ten thousand dollars in shares
of one hundred dollars each, to make it
a corporate body. Thus far they have
succeeded admirably, end it is probable
that before tie dose of the week, more
than half it not all of the shares will be
taken.
THE EXHIBITION AT HART’S HALL.
The main building of the Aseooiatica
having been destroyed by fire several
years age, the managers have been forc
ed pending tho ereotion of another, to
utilize the spacious hall above mentioned.
Hero they have congregated and deftly
arranged a

industries and mercantile establishments
of this oity and seotlon. These appear
at infinitely greater advantage by gts il

it was reoorded that “a pair of boots and

the head as a fact, and rejected ths other

000 to 800000 birrels was reasonably ex
pected. In May, the water in the Mia
flisaippi fell eo low that it was impossi
ble to flood tbe fields and the customary
June rise failing, together witn a long
period of drouth, all combined to seri
ously injure tbe growth of therioe. Ar

that the jaws are almost abnormally short;
that the lower jaw is apt to be rather

Drrht’s History of the Unxtzd
Btatrs is a class book for schools and
acadeR-ies, by Joseph G. T. Derry, pro
fessor of Ancient and Modern Languages
in Wesleyan Female College, Maoon. It
is published in elegant stylo by J. B.
Lippinoott A Co., of Philadelphia, is very
handsomely illustrated and makes a vol
ume of 400 pages. It is a snccint and
compendious narrative of historical facta
from the dissovery and settlement of the
country to the beginning of the adminis
tration of Mr. Hayes. Eich page has
marginal questions and each par 1 ,of which
there ate four,concludes with a typical re
view. That part of the book whioh treats'
of the war betwoen ths 8tates embraces
about seventy pages, and we think ia an
impartialtesord of the events of that un
happy crisis in American history. The
bcok,to the general reader as a magazine
of facts and dates, has great value, and as
a school book has undoubted merit.
