Cumberland Fair.
We have no full advices from the Fair
at Fayetteville last week. The exhibition
was large in those practical articles of hus
bandry and household fabrication without
which a fair is not agricultural whatever
else it may be. An informant says the
whole occasion was pleasant, and he be-
ieves profitable to managers and attend-
at
ants. On Thursday there was a full attend
ance. The address of Hun. A. M. Waddell
ou lue situation was listened to attent
ively throughout, and apparently produced
deep impression' It was partly agricul
tural, partly financial and partly political,
giving a ; summary ana analysis of the
causes of the present depression, and point
ing out what the speaker considered to be
the safe and seasonable remedies for the
same. . CoL Waddell strongly opposed the
idea of immediate resumption, which he
slid was impossible. If it could take place at
all, it would bring about national distress,
and would he dangerous to every interest in
the broad land. The address, we under
stand, will be printed this week in full ia
the Fayetteville papers.
We are glad our friends in Cumberland
have been: successful in their annual exhibi
tion. It is creditable to their skill and in
dustry and gratifying to their pride.

Selllus Chickens Unnder Dime a 1 tier.
An old lady from Brunswick county ar
rived here: yesterday morning, after, as she
says, camping but two nights, with a coop
of about thirty chickens for sale. She sold
a pair of them, to one party and the remain
der of the coop to another, upon which she
says she was arrested and taken to the Ciiy
Hotel, where she was fined- $5 and costs for
violating a city ordinance which forbids
the selling of such things by wholesale be
fore a certain hour.
We heard of no such case before the City
Court, but if the old lady did have to pay
such a fine it was certainly a great hard
ship in her case, as she was evidently una
ware that such a law existed.

'Attacked by Dogs.
7 Af worthy old colored man was attacked
Saturday evening, near Boney bridge, by a
vicious doff. V The old man - used ' his feet
to some purpose and finally got dog No.
down and one foot nlaced firmly on the
prostrate brute. Just at this moment an
other dog of heavier build, a companion of
the former, came up behind tho man and
seized him by the other leg, biting it severe
ly. He. turned upon his new enemy as.
quickly as possible, with the view of de
fending himself against further injury, by
which doe No. 1 became released and
again returned to the assault with redoubled
fierceness. This was too much for the old
man and he wheeled suddenly and project
ed ne foot savagely in the direction of the
ferocious animal, but instead of striking
the dog his foot -came in violent contact
with the side of the fence near vthich be
was standing, which had the effect of driv
ing the nail of his big toe far into the flesh,
resultidg in a painful wound. With one leg
badly bitten and the toe ef the other foot
causing him no little suffering, our old color
ed friend,' finally cot clear of his tormentors
and hobbled home, entertaining, no doubt,
a very decided dislike of the canine race
generally and of those two representatives
of it particularly
One of these -dogs is said to be very
ferocious, and has attacked several children,
one of which he literally stripped of its
clothing.
Magistrates' Court.
Before Justice Cassidey, yesterday morn
i ig, Henry James, Simon WilkinsandCato
Macks, the three colored men implicated in
tne money snatching business, referred to
in Sunday's Star, had a hearing yesterday
morning, the judgment of the Court being
that they restore the money taken and pay
the costs.
Henry James, one of the above parties.
who resisted the officer who arrested him
yesterday morning, was arraigned for the
same, when judgment was suspended on
the payment of costs.
Before Justice VanAmringe was arraign
ed Ben. Lane, on a peace warrant sworn
out by his wife, which was dismissed at the
cost of the prosecutor. Lane, however, was
committed on five cases in the same Court
on which judgment had, on certain con
ditions, been previously suspended.
Before Justice Gardner, Wm. Daniels,
Mack Daniels and Cornelius Daniels were
arraigned under chapter 209 of acts of 1874
and 1875, commonly known as the Land
lord and Tenant Act, charged with having
removed the crop from certain lauds. The
evidence being such as to show that the de
fendants had satisfied all liens on said crop,
judgment was suspended on the payment
of costs. ,
The Lnnatle Ones More.
Laura Knight, the alleged lunatic who
came here from Lauriuburg last week, re
ference to whom has been made several
times in these columns, was yesterday taken
before Justices VanAmringe and Gardner,
who, after proper investigation, decided
that she was indeed a lunatic. She still in
sisted that she had property in Virginia,
and said that she was here on business;
that the parties in whose house she was
found had robbed her of $2,000, atd that
she wanted them all arrested. Upon being
asked when the money was taken, she said
it was about 14 yeais ago, and that it was
in bills like one shown her, which was a
greenback. She said that her child was
taken from her about the same time, but as
it was not likely she could now recover the
one that was lost, she would be satisfied
with any other child about the same age of
her own. Other statements made by her
were equally wild, and it was finally de
cided by Justice VanAmriuge, as one of
the Board of County Commissioners, to
give her up to the party who claimed her
as a sister and furnish a guard to attend her
to Laurinbnrg.
Thievery In the Conntry.
Mr. D. C. Davis, residing . about three
miles below this citv.fon the Middle Soundf I
road, went home from town on SaturdayU
night, between Hand 12 o'clock, his wife
and children being at the house of a neigh
bor in the meantime, and upon arriving at
his dwelling the first thing he discovered
was a large trunk lying in the yard, broken
open, and the contents scattered about. He
then examined the house and found the
back door and the window of the kitchen
open, entrance having no doubt been ef
fected through the latter. The thieves took
the clothing belonging to Mr. Davis and his
children, together with boots, shoes, bed
quilts, pillow cases, sheets, etc.,. and also
provisions from the smoke house. They
also took about $25 in specie. Two gold
watches which were in the trunk were acci
dentally missed by the thieves, they having
doubtless become imbedded in the sand
where Mr. Davis afterwards found them)
while the trunk was being turned over and
emptied of its contents.

A Bad Uceord.
"Paddy's Hollow," after undergoing a
season of comparative quiet, fully sustained
its old reputation again on Sunday. From
"early morn till dewy eve,M we understand,
it was an almost continued scene of drunk
enness and disorder, in which seamen from
the large number of vessels in port took a
prominent part. About 7 o'clock in the
evening a colored man by the name of Rias
Turner was passing that way when he was
assailed,, as he says, by a sailor known by
the name of "Dublin," who bantered him
for a wrestle, and upon his refusing, seized
him by the coat, wrestled him around con
siderably and finally struck and kicked him
several times. Turner got away from him
once, but "Dublin pursued and nnaiiy
overtook him, when thq act of kicking and
cuffing was repeated.
Warrants have been issued for "Dublin,"
and other parties implicated in the scenes
of disorder referred to.' r. 1
Determined Boy.
A boy employed on one of the vessels in
port was arrested in the early part of last
week and put in the Guard House for safe
keeping, it being stated that he bad cursed
and abased the officers of his ship and
evinced a very insubordinate disposition
generally, On Friday last, upon applica
tion, he was delivered on board the vessel,.
which soon after set saiL Arming off
Smithville the boy yras again sent on shore
and put in confinement at that place for
safe-keeping 'until the vessel should be
ready to go out. A day or two afterwards
he was.taken out and once more put on
board ship; but before she cleared the bar,
as we are informed, he seized a favorable
opportunity and (scaped, taking a planfc
with him, upon which he swam for about
two miles and was finally, picked up by it
Lboat coming up the river and brought to
this city. , ,7 .-V.
Eseaoo and Be-Arrest ot Prisoner.
One of the colored girls, attached to the
chain-gang seized a favorable opportunity
yesterday' afternoon, while the prisoners
were at work somewhere in that part of the
city known as "Brooklyn," and made her
escape, running. in the direction of Hilton.
Norton,- the overseer, dispalched-one of the
remaining prisoners aftrr the fugitive,, who,
after a hut chase, succeeded by overhauling
her, when she made the girl cross her
hands, tied -her securely and took her safely
back to the "squad." On the principle tuat
it takes a thief to eaten a tluer tins
was a wise m ve, on the pirt Jof the over
seer, and the result, ia this case seems to
have substantiated the truth of the saying.
Hobblnc tho Botchers.,
The,, stall, of fMessri Potter jAJltSldV in

broken open Sunday morning, some1 time
between the noun of 1 and 3 o'clock, and
