The crowd in attendance was slim in comparison lo that on the grounds last fall. 'Wednesday, T1IE OPES I NO HAT, was taken up in receiving nud ar ranging exhibits, and very few peo ple were on the grounds during tl e day. The agricultural display was not large, but very- creditable. Messrs. G. R. Moore, D. McLauch- tiu and C.JU Martin look the pre miums in this department. They hatl a fine lot of produce ou exhibi tion. Mr. J. W. Wilkinson exhib ited some large, lucions, Decatur raised oranges. A quantity of huge sweet potatoes were exhibited by Maj. Duncan Curry. Mr. £tcel had on exhibition the provision basket usd by Stanley in his exploration of Africa. It was a present to Mr. Steel from Stanley himself. The display in llie ladies’ fancy work departnieut made up in quali ty what it lacked in qurntity. Facc- ville’s bevy of accomplished beau ties, exhibited a number of oil and water paintings ' from their own hands which attracted considerable attention. They also exhibited some handsome pillow shams, a Ilolbicn coverlet, and a lot of other pretty needle work. A pretty lace handkerchief was exhibited by Mrs. Rosenfuid, of Sa vannah, made by her at the age of 60 years. Miss S. J. Johnson’s gloves, man ufactured from Decatur-raised silk, were much admired.

Martin and Gillutt’s were 2:40 class animals, Thursday a good crowd was on the grounds, and tbe fair gave protniae of closing with a boom. There were no puries offered for racing, and »n!y home stock were on the track. The running and trot ting races were close and exciting. Modena’s string band furnished music in the ball during the second and last day, to the great delight of the attendance. The fair bail at tiie Williams House Thursday night was a grand success. Wc would offer a suggestion lo ,our Decatur friends, and they can take it for what it is worth. Fairs must have racing and other out door amseineuts to draw crowds. A simple agricultural display will not no it. The people want to spend a day looking st something new, and they can get through with an agri cultural show in two hours. PERSONALS.

The following mysterious pirn graphs, a few months since, un round in the New York Trioune: “Dr. Oliver lluff, of San Fran U- co, who died recently, dircetcd in Ids will that a monument, not to ex ceed 11,000 in coat, should be placed over his grave, and forbade any society of which lie was a member, nr any friends, to pass resolutions of condolence over Ids decease, or in communicate the fact to Ids friends in the Fast. It is only in Oglethorpe county, Ga., .where the history ami antece dents ns Dr. Hull' are known, that die motives which prompted tlii- singiiliir document can be explain ed. Dr. Oliver Huff was the illegiti mate son of Col. Richard IIull; once a wealthy laud and slave owner in Goose l’ond district, wiio created quite a sensation before the war by liberating 100 -laves and establish ing them in Liberia. In this bund of colonists was a mulatto woman, who claimed to be tlio mother ot Dr. Huff. But between her and the alleged son no friendship had existed lor years. He always ap peared to avoid the mulatto mis tress of his father, and was cn- coiiraged in this by his sire. Young 11ii 11' grew up into a bright, liaml- somc lad, nml was sent by Col. Hull to the first schools, in the New Eng land States. During vacations lie visited home, but here his society was marked. The whites looked upon him as tainted with negro blood, while from his bearing he scorned suspicion. Huff graduated with distinction and having expressed a desire to study medicine, his father sent him to France, from which country hr returned with the highest dipfom i. He located on the plantation of his father, but his old troubles began nga n. The whites in the neigh borhood had not forgotten the suspicious circumstances surround ing the young Doctor’s birth, and lie was plrced under the ban of society. Dr. Hutf was proud and ambitious, and soon seemed to avoid association. At length the whites began to discover that there was not the faintest resemblance lo ■he negro race in Dr. liufij and the report got in circnlation that his mother was a Caucasian, and that the mulatto woman Imd been paid to rear the infant as her son. Afier this tbe barrier of society began to give away. A few whites recognized Dr. Huff and employed him in their family, but in a con descending way that chafed his proud spirit. Others spoke of him us the “nigger doctor.” lie was once engaged to one of Ihe first young Iadie9 in South Carolina, but the report of his birth reaching her family's ears the uiatcli-was broken off, The beginning ot the late war found Col. Huff dead, who left his illegitimate son a fine property, to revert lo him at the Heath of the lawful lieirs. About this time Dr. Huff quitted tiie country, let'iug no oqc know his destination. But some of the •oldiers from this cMinty saw him luring Ihe war as a surgeon in a Confederate regiment. His men were devoted to him, and our boys did not expose his history. After Ihe war Dr. Huff was lost sight of, but about five years ago a rumor reached this county that he was seen in San Francisco, Cal., was doing a fine practice, and had accumulated quite a fortune. Our people respected the motives tiiat occasioned his exile, and no effort was made to communicate with or expose him. The next we hear .from him is the news of his dentil, 'circulated through hi- strange will. The very clause dial was aimed to preserve his history caused curiosi ty tQ be aroused nml an expose made. Dr. Huff had never married. While he was recognized ns a while man in tiie Golden State, lie alwaya had the air of a hunted man. His life has been an unenviable one, and be doubtless licsitaled to entail the curse of suspicion that had follow ed him upon innocent lieirs. His demise was mourned upon the Faciflc slope. A good man was gone. But tiie antecedents of this mail tins at last been cleared. It is said that his mother is a white woman and belonged to one of the first families in Virginia. She was a near relative to Col. Hull, and while on a visit to him in this comi ty an unnatural intimacy existed between them, which resulted iii Ihe hirlli of a son, this same Dr. Oliver Hull'- To hide the shame of (lie girl a mulatto woman was hired to claim II as her offspring. There is over 1,000 acres of fine land in litis county, the titles to whicli are vested in the hero of this -ketch. As there arc doubts aboul Ilia mother, and lie leaving no lieirs, it is claimed that this property will revert lo the State.

Sutidio E-eiiliig loariul. All men are nut agriculturists, yet almost all men arc cultivators. I’ltu luiir and heard, as I lie only p iris of llie person which actually grow like vegetables are natural subjects uf cultivation, nml Hie young nmn who parts his Imir in the middle thinks more of that par ticular part Ilian lie does of his gramlm Mlier. As he walks out of In barb o ’s -hop, lie scarcely feels any other part of him iu existence besides that pet part. Next to middle hair-parting, stand whis kers. What a field of cultivation have there. The wliiskerT is a bounty of nature which man does not like to refu-e Hiking advantage of. The thingipfi'ssos upon him; il is there, and to pul it allogeiher aside, except upon the demand'of temporary fashion, is scarcely to lie thought of. ^ome men arc more able to resist ihe demon of whiskers than others. There arc sonic young men so prone to the temptation of this fiend, that they enlarge their field of cultivation, until at length there can actually be seen, by close iiispeclion, a small swun-down-likr- growlh upon the upper lip. Ihe ends of which arc always carefully waxed. Sometimes the whisker fiend makes such insidious advan ces that small tults of hair can lie discovered appearing on the youthful cheeks in the most impish manner. When a young man has arrived a' this hirsute state, he has given himself fairly up to the whis ker fiend,and is beyond redemption. There arc some young men who cultivate white hands, with long- pointed nails, which .-cent lo he ihe only points in their character. F nothing else do they care particu larly. All is well" if only their hands arc neat, even though their feet should no> be, They have i ridiculous notion >hat ole inn hands are Ihe unequivocal test ol good birth, and lluit the posscs-or can never he mistaken but for gen tleman's sons. Then there is a set of people who cultivate ring on a particular finger, evidently regretting, from their manner of managing them, that the South Sea fashion of wearing such ornaments in the nose has ever come into this country. Some men cultivate canes, with gold heads, which they assure you cost them fifty dollars, yet they arc never able to treat, or pay that dollar they bor rowed of you. Some cultivate a lisp, because hev can never speak the truth. Some cultivate the patent neckties of the day, because they could nev er tie a knot thcmselAcs. Some cultivate much shirt bosom, since Brazilian diamonds have become the rngc. There lias also of late been a great fashion of cultivating chains about the rest, running through the but ton-hole to both pockets, with pos sibly, no watch at either end, but wc know of u very singular gentle man who made many visits to Coney Island during tiie summer on tiie Iron l’icr Boats, who culti vated watches (never mind on which side of the chain they might be) much to tiie annoyance of the original possessors or cultivators. Then tiicrc is a class tvho cultivate silk umbrellas, not in the sense of appropriating tlitm n the same manner as the Coney Isl ind gentle man did tiie watches, however. It is a prevalent idea among many men, (lint a silk umbralla is an ex ceedingly genteel tning. They, therefore, have an article o: this kind, whieli they arc always carry ing in a neat, careful manner, so as to show that it really is silk. They seem to feci ns if they thought it ail rigid when they had their silk um brella in their hand, j if is a kind of patent respectability. With a silk umbrella they could meet (lie most prominent personage in tiie world and not be ashamed. An umbrella i«, indeed, a tiling of such vast con sequence, that they would be con tent to go iu humble guise in every oilier respect, providing they only had this saving clause to protect them. In fact, wc know of a case where an individual was content to go all last winter without an over coat and wore a linen duster instead —jtn-1 because lie owned a silk uni brella. Cultivation, it will Unis be observed, is a subject of vast extent, nud of great importance, and if people can only have something to cultivate, if it is only a toothpick, they will be virtuous and conse quently happy. Grizzly Dan Grizzly Dan, of Montana, was never known to steal anything when sober, but lie says: “When I'm drunk, anything I get these five fingers on it’s mine and don’t you forget it!” As an Indian fight er, when under (lie influence of drink, lie is also a holy terror in Montana, lie was once set upon by a whole tribe of howling red devils, nud was obliged to run for his life. He headed for the brink of a cliff about seven hundred feet high, dodging I lie bullets fired nt him ns lie ran, being able through long practice to tell the course of a ball by the sound ns il nppronclicd from the rear.

Even then lie is expect ed to have prepared ills heart by nt le-ist a moment of prayer for divine blessing and guidance. * Let the people examine them selves on the other side, and see whether the failure of great re sults is not owning to their want of preparation. What we need now is ISiblu schools. Tin: most of .the people who nr-t communicants of the Christian Church sadly lack biblical knowledge. The conse quence is that sermons stored with biblical allusions fail to have effect upon them. There must be preparation for hearing as well as for speaking; not the same in kind, perhaps, not the same in amount; but neverthe less, a preparation distinctly made for hearing. “Take heed how-ye hear,” said the Divine Master. Men seem to think lhat they can enter tiie church dull of brain, hard of heart, listless of interest, nud be just m well taught us if their in tellects were all alert and their sensibilities all quick and their iu- lerest like burning thirst. It is a mistake; it is a ruinous mistake. -It is not (lie pulpit that is losing its power; it is the pewl Suppose the minister were known to enter his pulpit ns praverless ns hundreds of Christians know that they are when they enter their pews, who would expect any spiritual good? Who would not leel that (lie minister was making a sad mistake ? Is not the same tiling true of him who goes to church as a healer, nud inak.sno prepara tion? Suppose cacli member of a church spent only twenty minutes each day in tiie week s'udying God’s Work critically and devoutly, and suppose that in ihe hours when his pastor is engaged in prayer be fore entering the pu pit, each pusisliioner should be iu his closet, praying, and while tt)e pastor] is beseeching God to give him plcnr ness of thought mid power of utter ance, with hit use love of souls, tiie parishioner should lie praying that God would drive out all worldly thoughts from his mind and quicken his intellect to understand the mind of the Spirit in the Word of God, and to prepnre his heart to receive with meekness as the en grafted Word, And, suppose with intensified desire nftcrjj-piritunl knowledge and spiritual grace within us, the people should go together tenderly and trustingly and vigilantly. What spiritual re sults might not be expected.

After a Walk or a Hundred Lea gues Finds Her Huabaud Dead, I-ondon Stamford. A rare example of constancy, courage and devotion combined has just been furnished by a brave peasant woman, born nml bred in a remote lptmict of tiie Vosges. Marie llngnrt, this heroine iu hum ble life, had adieu to her husband some mouths since, and saw him start for the great City of Paris in tiie hope of obtaining employment there. But almost upon his arrival iu the capital he fell ill, aud being without cither funds or fri-iids, was taken to the Hospital de la Fitic. The news of his illness readied the hauilel where his wife lived in course of time, nml the latter, listen ing only lo the promptings of her heart, drt-riiiined to join her sick husband ut once. She was utterly destitute. To travel by rail was therefore out of the question, su she started on foot with a baby in tier arms, just two francs in her pocket, ami a journey of 103 lea gues before her. Braving hardships of e-cry description, siccing by the roadside or in the fields, and living oil what scraps of food she could obtain ou the wav, she pns-cd onward, nothing daunted, for the city where her hu»hnud lay sick. She Imd lost her way several times, her clothing was in rags, her shoes were gone, but her courage rc- :i,allied uudimislicd, until a few i veuings ago, when, footsore and weary, she found herself ut Ciiarc- lin, when she sank down in the streets overcome by her suilerings, exhausted from want of food, ex claiming faintly, “Mon Dieu, I can go no further.” Mother aud child were conveyed to tiie police sta tion, revived, warmed and tended, after which the poor woman relat ed, iu a few simple words, her touching story, seemingly nstoiihh- edjth il those wlm listened to her should have been moved to express admiration for her conduct.

AN OLD COUPLE. Tbe Husband Doe* the Work While HI* Blind Wife Bneonrafe* Him !>j qef Conversation. Atlanta Post. Yesterday aflernon a reporter of the Post-Appeal, while standing at the corner of Alabama aud White hall slreets, engaged in conversatiun with Col. Sain B. Spencer and ex Governor Smith, saw an aged col ored cuuplc, apparently man and wife, coming up the street from the direction of tiie railroad crossing. The old womau carried on her Dead a bucket of whitewash, while her decrepit husband carried a couple of whitewash brushes. Arm in arm, they plodded along. As they approached, Col. Spencer remark ed : “Do you see that old couple coming trudging along there?” pointing in the direction of the old couple. ‘Yes,’ said Gov. Smith, ‘who are they.’ ‘Wei, 1 tell you,’ said Col. Speqcer, 'that old negro man is a white-washer, and his wife is stone blind. She accompanies Him where.er he goes ami helps carry his truck. When he gets a piece of work he provides her with a scat near him, and she talks to him while l|e does the work. You m.ay see him a hundred times, and you will never see him without her.” At tiiis juncture tiie old couple came up, aud Colonel Spencer nud GovcriiorSmitli placed some change 'n the hands of the old man, whicli was received witli many thanks from both of the old people. As they turned to leave, the old woman made a regular old-fadi- ioned bow, such as tiie negroes of olden times made, and such as Col. Spencer calls “a cotichee.” Col. Spencer could not enlighten tiie re porter us to the name of the negro man, although he says that he has seen him going about the city with his wife for the past ten years.

Mother and Dauitbier Fasting to Atone tor Imaginary Sin—Tbe Daughter Dead. A mile norlh of the village of Phoenix, N. Y , lives Joseph Smith, an honest, industrious farmer. Not until about three years ago did Mr. Smith evince any particular inter est in church matters. At that time a revival occurred in the Methodist Church in Phoenix. Mr. and Mr*. Smith attended regularly, and ex perienced a change of heart. Three or four weeks ago Mrs. Smith be came impressed that she mid her daughter, a bl ight intelligent girl of sixteen, were filled with sin. Tiie daughter became imbued with the ame belief, and the two were con vinced that nothing but protracted fasting and prayer would cleanse their soul*. They told a minister uf the contemplated action, and lie sanctioned it. Accordingly at noun on the 4th inst. they eaelt partook of a little milk, and for five days neither of them took nourishment of any description ; but at the end of that time Mrs. Smith resumed eating. Tiie sustenance of the in fant at her breast was exhausted and, as she sny*, obeying divine iu- si ructions, she broke her fa*t. The girl, however, continued fasting un til the 14th, when she was given a slight quantity of food in liquid form. She was so weak that she had frequent fainting spoils. On Saturday evening, the 16th, friends learning of 'the condition of the girl, called a doctor, but she was past aid, and died the next morn ing. While tasting she moistened her mouth each day with a damp cloth, and twice she washed Iter mouth with water. On one of these occasions she accidentally swallow ed a single drop, and for this sup posed sin she atoned by praying for eighteen couscculivo hours. When site became so weak that she could not get on her knees, her mother in formed her that praying was just as effectual while sitting in a chair or tying in bed, and in this way it was continued until her physical strength was exhausted. There are several other children in Ihe fami ly, but none of these participated in the fast. Mr. Smith, although not fasting, interposed no objection to his daughter’s abstinence. An investigation will be held, and if it is found that Mr. and Mrs., Smith arc insane, as it is supposed they are, they will be sent to an asylum. SPECIALTY S Good Work!

The following story, told in Harper’s Drawer, illustrates the wedding manners uf seventy years ago, and the simplicity of a green young Benedict. A minister of Newburyport was •■nee called up, after he had gone to bed, to marry a couple. The hour was late, and tho minister’s wife did not rise to witness tiie ceremony, but gave her husband particular directions for the entertainment of 'tiie wedding guests. “Don’t forget to pass the cake and wine, doctor,” said she. “Tiie calte i* In the corner cupboard, and von will find the wine on llie third riglit-haiid shelf in the side-board.” Tiie doctor promised obedience, put on his clothes, and went down to perform the ceremony.

"Doc tor,” she cried, “did you give them any wine?” “Certainly, my dear; just ns you told me.” “Not from tiie decanter on the third shelf of the sideboard ?” “That is exactly where you di reded me to find it. wife.” “Dear! dear! Did they drink much of it ?” “Why, yes! They emptied their glasses.” “What slall we do! Doctor, I made a mistake—it was ipecac wine you gave them. Oh, how sick they must be! Do, dear, put oil your cloak and go right after them; they enn’t have got far.” Tho doctor found the bridal par ty at iho comer of the next street. “Wind made you drink the wine?” he nsked. ‘•Couldn’t you tell by the taste that there’sg something wrong about it?” Tiie bridegroom answered, be tween his qualms, “She whispered to tne that it tasted dretfiil queer, but I told her ’twas because we was I O^Si ,** OSI 'kt | gettin’ married.” | lvao ' r W.
