We visited Charlotte last Friday, it being the 4th day ol the New Fair of the Caroli nas. We had not been there for nearly three years, and were glad to see that Char lotte had made considerable progress in the way of improvements. Several new build ings;had gone up and others were in process of erection.

This beautiful November weather is scat tering beauty and brilliancy areund. It has woven mantles of autumn's brightest tint- ings, for the woods and fields. A walk around town, and the reporter finds the peach trees in their delicate draperies of green and gold, fluttering with coquettish delight at the whisperings of the amorous west breezes. The bright costamery of na ture causes the woods, too, to look very pretty, under the soft blue and lavender hazy crape which the Indian summer has spread above for seyerel weeks past. ncic uuue umitea. mere wpta many pretty things in Floral Hall, a fair display of machinery and agricultural im plements, some fine potatoes, beets, pump kins, Ac.., Ac, but it was evident that the farmers of Mecklenburg, as of Rowan, took very little interest in their Fair. The grounds are situated on a beautiful level plat of ground about a mile south of the city. The buildings are commodious and well arranged, the track is the best in the State, and altogether, the Association is well fixed to hold a Fair. But Charlotte, and we fear other places likewise, has damaged her future prospects by the admission to the Fair grounds, of a horde of throats, and thieves. We were told that last year, these were admitted in large num bers, and that their devices for swindling the unsuspecting were quite numerous; but this year, the scenes surpassed any ever be fore seen in North Carolina. Nearly every game and eyery trick known to the gam bler's art, was there shamelessly exposed to me puDiic view. lt the people of North Carolina determine hereafter to have Fairs without having gamblers to prey upon the unsuspecting, or have no fairs at all. Salis bury Watchman. Another Case of Forgeries Unearthed. And now comes another forger. His name is Terry, and he was, until lately, telegraph operator at Uaffhey s 8tation on the Air Line .Railroad. The facts of the case are these : On the 19th of October, Mr. S. 8. Pegram, of the boot and shoe firm of Wade t Pegram, of this city, was giyen an order which read : "Please send me by the bear er. Mr. B. F. Scott, one pair of boots," Ac., tfeing en to describe the boots, the limit of their cost, Ac. The order was signed "R. M. Oaffney," who is depot agent at Gaff- nej"a fitatien, and an acquaintance of Mr. Pegram's. The order was filled without any misgivings on the part of Mr. P., and on the 1st inst., the bill was sent as requested in the order. Mr. Gaffney wrote back that Have a Gymnasium. A thing very much needed here in Char lotte, and which we have not, is a public gymnasium. No city of the size, life and ringing vivacity of ours, should be deprived of such a resort. Why is it that there is none here ? There is no conceivable reas- j fce had made no such order, and declined to on.

Nothing serves better to be a forgery, and Mr. Turner, who had been bring out a strong physical development, than gymnastic exercises. Children who, all through the day, are crouched down at a desk, pouring over text books, are apt to grow " round shouldered," their chests be come cramped, and often their general health is impaired. There is a way to guard against this. The corporations of many schools have inserted in their by-laws, a sentence, requir ing the practice of gymnastic exercises once a day, or a number of times a week. This is demanded to secure the health of the stu dent, aad insure full growth and power of physical manhood and womanhood. Suppose we have a gymnasium, and cer tainly the elder members of society will rec ognize the inestimable value it would be. to made acquainted with all the facts in the case of the boots, at once became convinced that the signature of Mr. Gaffney 'a name was also forged. An investigation revealed that, in addition to Mr. Gaffney and Turner, forgeries had been perpetrated upon the names of Mr. J. S. Schuck, and others. Oates Bros., of this city, filled a spurious order in the name of Mr. Schuck, for a quantity of whiskey. Mr. Scott, who was designated as the bearer of one or two of the orders, had no connection whatever with the matter. None of the firms to whom these orders were addressed, recognize him as the bearer of any one of them ; on the contrary they all allege their certainty that he never brought any of these orders to them; He is a ww.w, wih mil rujjeniw,Tjui ut i pwuwu master on tne Airumv, ana IS a action of youth to bring about measures to man of excellent character. 1 open a gymnasium.

Not a moment had I stood th When a gent who owns a brood-mare Slapped me gently on the shoulder As he asked me what I'd take : Motioned he to bottles handy.

Then his friends began to snicker At the mention of this liquor, Laughing out in one loud chorus As they never lauehed befor Then said one, " You're a reporter, And you think you hadn't orter Take the beer, or mavbe more?"
