The Fair Ground is the centre of attraction these evenings. The track is smooth and in splendid condition, and makes a delightful drive.

Melancholy Death of a Stranger. On Thnrsday eveoiog a white man, very sick and feeble, arrived Jri this city on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta train He got on at Morrow's Turn Out, and had no money to pay hia fare to Charlotte; Captain Hyde, the conductor; seeing his condition, kiuIypassed: him--: up. v Yester damornitoM the ui8n:io the, pit uoder;lbe 4rack at that point where the - trucks of the Bleeping cars are changed, speechless and almost senseless. The police were notified, and took him incharge. A hot punch was poared(down lis throat, and he was (ben able to tell them that his name was John Rad ford, and that his home was in Marion, Mc Dowell county. Dr. K C. Alexander, the county physician, was called to see him, and, an order having, bjen obtaiod' from . Wen. Maxwell, Esq., Clerk ot the Board Coun ty Commissioners, be was taken to toe poor house, where, at two o'clock yesterday af ternoon, he died. The man was very tall, six feet high or over, bad red bair, and appeared to be about 40 years of age. He was so weak and so near death when first found, that no futher facts concerning his history could be obtained from him. He had no doubt fallen into the pit, and was loo feeble to get out, or to cry for help. He was decently interred at the expense ef the county. A Brick Falls on a Negro's Head. Yesterday morning as the. workmen on the new. store Sanders fc Blackwood, on College streetwere uboot beginning op erations for the day, an accident which, it was thought at the time had proved fatal, befel one of the negroes, named George Caldwell. One of the men was On the high scaffolding in the rear of the store, letting down a large rope to the man Cald well, who was standing on the ground. A brick bat had becomo entangled in the rope, and, as this was being unrolled, the brick fell and struck Caldwell fairly on the head. The fall was not less than fifty feet and the negro was knocked senseless. He was removed from the ground, and Dr. Green called to see him. His skull was fractured, and he was insensible for a con siderable period. He finally revived, how ever, and, late yesterday evening, was doing well, and there was every prospect of his speedy recovery. Special. Invitation. At the request of the Editor of the Charlotte Obseevkk, Ve extend" a special invitation to the citizens in attendance at the present State Pair, as well as all exhib ttors, to attend tbe exhibition of, the New Fair of the Carolinas, at Charlotte, which commences November 3rd, and . continues five days. v: , ;- ' " - . Every arrangentet bas been made for the most extensive exhibition which., "has ; ever taken place iai Charlotte and preparations are being made to accommodate all visitors, and very courtesy Will be extended to ex hibitor, he presa and officers of other Ag ricultural Associations. The Secretary of the Fair has received a telegram from a prominent turfman in Louisville, Ky., say ing that he would enter eleven horse3 in the races to take place during the Fair, and about thirty other horses have been entered at home. "The races promise to be an at tractive feature of the Fair. A large number of articles have been eatered for premiums, from South Caroltna, Georgia attd Tennessee, besides those en tered from North Carolina.iJat7 Neivs. Races at the Raleigh Fair. A Charlotte nag figured in the second race on the Raleigh Fair Grounds Thurs day, and here Is what the Sentinel of that evening says about it : "The second race was for a running purse of $50. Length dash of a mile. "James Fancett entered sorrel horse Brooks. "Sid. B" Alexander entered sorrel mare Talola. 'Tulula won the pole ; both horses started from the stand even; but Tulula soon gained tbe advance, which she.maintained till reach ing the borne stretch, when Brooks closed up his gap, and came down eves under the rope at a dead lock, and the Judges declar ed a dead beat. "On the second trial Talula again took the lead, but at the first quarter Brooks passed to tbe front, and came out at tbe Judges stand one length ahead. Time 1:53. Fight in Grangers' Hall." A fitfht occurred at "Grangers' Beer Hall," on Tryon street, last night about 9:30 o'clock. It was over game of cards, and was between an Irishman On the one side and an American on the . pther,; Mr. Roediger, the DTPDrietoT of the saloon, stepped be- tween them to separate them, and received a severe blow on tne bead from a cnair in the hands of the Irishman, who was strik- ine at his antagonist Neither of the Jnen who engaged in the fight was hurt. it,i i6ii'e ' -Notiquite sd'cold yesterday and last. night; and therefore a little .warmer, j and we are of the opinion that this observation will fill out about four lines. : r' , -' .....-. f?

President of the State Council of the Friends of Temperance, de livered an address on the subject of temper ance at the court house last night, as be was announced to do. It' is a matter of re gret that he did not have a larger audience and that lie did not, is perhaps 'due to the short notice given. As usual with him, Mr. Wetmore made ai excellent Jalkr arguing ably and earnestly in behalf of the temper ance cause, in which all his sympathies are enlisted. We hopejthe lecture of last night had the effect to stir? up the temperance people of the city. For some time past the cause has been on the wane here, through the inactivity of the members of the temperance societies. After the lecture last might the .Lodge of Friends of Temperance was re-organized, with the following officers: President P, J. Carraway. Associate W. & Hal torn. Chaplain J. F. Butt. Recording Secretary T. M. Pittman. Financial $ecretary-pR. M. Crawford. Treasurer J. J. Freeland. Con. J. B. Bethune. A. Con. F. H. Wetmore. " J. S. J. J. Grigg- O. S. Lynoh. Ex-President Joseph Siler. Letter from S. B. Hall. , Mr. S. B. Hall, "the Shell in the Radical Camp," who left here Wednesday morning when under bond for his appearance before the Mayor at 9 o'clock, has written to his bondsman, Mn Thomas L. Ritch, explaining to him his reasons for so doing. He says he is not guilty of tbe charge laid at bis door, but feared that a warrant might come for him endorsed by the Governor, and he would be taken to Raleigh, where be would have no chance for giving a bond. He says further, that he was advised by his counsel that his bondsman could not be held responsible un less a warrant had been regularly sworn out, and advised Mr. Ritch to "stand square," He writes that, so soon as he can "find out the charges then he will go for them," and that he "did not want to be mixed up with those Radicals, such as King," (the Chief of Police of Raleigh.) Mr. Hall assures Mr. Ritch that he will not lose a cent by him, tells him that the charges are all trumped up, and insists on him seeing his (Hall's) counsel and getting him to have anolpros. entered in the case. Exactly how this is to be done, Mr. Hall doesn't suggest. Back Hurt by a Falling Brick. Several days ago Mr. J. H. Thrower, the foreman of Mr. P.M. Murray's bnck laying force, was stooping down under the scaffold in front of the building being put up on College street by Messrs. Sanders & Black wood, when a brick fell from off the scaffold and struck him on the small of the back. He was much hurt and prostrated by the blow, and has been confined to bed ever since, not even able to raise himself up. It is not thought that his back is broken, but he suffers much, and has no use of him self as yet. The large number of accidents which have happened to persons at work on or about buildings in this city since the present build ing season opened, calls for the exercise of greater caution on the part of those engaged. Our Advertisers. Good mends, won t you band in your advertisements before dark ? It would be a ereat Accommodation to us, and cer tainly but little more trouble to you We are open, however, to receive adver tisements at any hour, from & A, M. until 2 A. M., and no matter what hour they may come they shall go in the next paper. But the compositors have their hands as full with the local and the press dispatches after supper as they can conveniently manage be tween that hour and the early morning, and, if it makes no difference to our advertisers, we would rather have their advertisements as early in the day as possible. It does make a vast difference with us. , 4r4 The Elections on the Fence Question. The returns of the elections in Crab Or chard and Mallard Creek Townships on Thursday for and against township fences. were filed yesterday in the oflice of the Reg ister of Deeds. In Mallard Creek the vote was a tie; hox number one voted 77 for and 56 against, and box number two 41 for and 61 against. The majority of the votes cast in Crab Orchard was in opposition to the proposed law; here the vote stood: Fence, 71; no fence, 152; majority against, 81. In this township the negroes voted in a body against fence. 1 The Dust. Out of the range of the route pursued by the 6treet carta, the dust is the most noticea ble object. It blows -in aone's mouth, and, however high-spirited one may be, one "eats dirt" of necessity, and without any option on the part of the eater ; it covers your face as with a garment, and, getting into your eyes, causes painfully energetic action on the part of the lachrymal glands, and, the tears sweeping noleni volcns down your cheeks, rus h. through the obstrucdons.fbrmed by the dirt, and give youths appearance ola zebra. Dust is not a promoter of piety. . s . s The Chicken Cholera. The ladies are uneasy abont iheir chickena and turkeys, after seeing the i m in yester day's paner about, fitycken Uolera being prevalent in ihe city. It was right interest ing to watch husband and wife in the back lot yesterday, ' about dinner time, both on their, knees, doctoring clrfckehs that looked sorter ' 'mopy.w The husband, held the chick en's mouth open, while the wife peered down its throat, and ended the exercises by raking a feather m ihibuth. and putting a drop, ot kerosene in tnere, - -The Press Gang?

We see the General's fourteen pounder and go him one better. . A gentleman told us, two or three days ago that he, had raised in his garden this season a beet, weighing fifteen pounds after it had been washed. An Injury of Long Standing. "How are you to-day, sir?" said we to an old gentleman from the country, yesterday, as we shook him by the hand preparatory to getting on a footing of intimacy which would justify us in drumming him for a subscrip tion to the Weekly Observer; "how are you to-day, sir?" "Well, just moderate only; I hurt my hip in Mississippi, and it's painin' me." "Ah !" said we, growing sympathetic, "When?" " In 1834 December." We went on. Mayor's Court. An unknown negro was the only subject up yesterday Thursday night he was taken up by the police while very drunk and curs ing furiously. Once lodged in the calaboose his tune changed, and his prayers and peni tential moans were as loud as his curses had been a few moments before. He re ceived a punishment commensura te with his offence. St. Mark's "Lutheran Church.
