The Weldos Fair. Our Managing Editor, the Secretary of the Roanoke and Tar River Agricultural Association, returned home yesterday evening, and w6 are pleased to learn from him that the Fair was in every respect a success, the. whole attendance during the four ' days numbering from 15 to 20,000. The number of entries were some 300 larger than on any former year; and the ire-, eclpts will be sufficient, it is thought, to; pay all the expenses of the present jeur and to meet a largo indebtedness incurred -by extensive improvements made iiuon the grounds within the last two months. The grounds are now un surpassed in their general arrangements by any in the State, and in many res- . pects surpass any other, and it. is universally-considered that the success i of ; the Society for the future is established beyond question. , , 1 1, The annually large number of pretty . ; ladies in attendance occasioned goneral rematk, but where so much beauty was to be seen, it was impossible to speak ot it except in general terms. ; j JThe Warrenton Gazette thus concludes . an article in reference to the Fair : " The Fairs at Weldoo are better con ducted than any in the State, and de- serves the great success which they re-' ceive.- Their officers are practical farm ers and educated gentlemen, and con duct the proceedings with energy, abil ity and fidelity. The premiums ! are awarded iairly and paid promptly.! "Owing to its geographical position, Weldon is one of the best places in the State for holding Fairs, and the conn i ties adjoining Halifax should determine ', to make the Fairs held there a greater success if possible in the future than in the past." : - )., Grand Lodge of North Carolina,' -j-The Grand Lodge of Free and Ac- cepted Masons of North Carolina,; will commence its 86th annual communica- tion in this city on Monday, 2nd of December next, at 7 o'clock p. m. j j Return tickets for one fare will be issued over the several railroads in this. State to officers arid representatives at ttnding the Grand Lodge, on npplica-1 tion therefor at the nsnal points where they tae the cars. This arrangement has been made with the railroad author ities, and the return tickets as indicated 'should be procured to prevent payment of full fare. See advertisement.

The FritE Yesterday Morsiso. Iu our yestei day's issue we gave a brief and hurried account of the fire on Ilills boro' street, which in a very short time converted into ashes two stores on the corner of West street. In the desti uc iion of these, buildings Rale'ijjh sus tains the loss of one of its ancient land marks. The buildings were erected in 1818 by a gentleman by the name of Brassfield, and known first as Brass field's Inn, and afterwards as the "Jug" tavern, a locality well noted in North Carolina history. X. : The "Jug"' tavern was the head quarters ot . all the sporting gents of that day. The street that now leads to the capital gate, was the old quarter race ground, and the cock pit was stak ed off on the spot now occupied by the residence of. Robert H. Jones. These sports yielded to the march of civilization, and Jug tavern was, in 1835, transformed into the two store rooms, the largest of which was first by Jordan Womble, Esq. They were never altered, but remained the same intil their destruction. As previously mentioned, tho fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. Major Williams, (col.) in whose story the fire originated, is not only knowu to be a man of good char acter; but is said to be very careful and particular. He left no light or fire burn ing in the bouse, and considering the fact that it was so soon enveloped in flames, there can be no doubt that it was set on fire. As there is no water in the city, ol course the two Fire Engines could. do nothing, but the members of the "Res-; cue" and Victor did effective service by assisting the Hook and Ladder and Bucket Companies. It was fortunate that no wind was blowing at the time or the destruction would have been immense. ' The, resu dence of R. II. Jones was thought to be in imminent danger at first, but the double rows of trees between this resi dence and the burning store saved him,. As soon.asthe election news.is over, we propose to keep a standing head in our local columns on the importance of .1 city water works. A Good Oke on Gov. Vanck Gov Vance introduced Miss Jeannie Patter son on both occasions .of her -public readings at Charlotte. Of course the introduction was accompanied by gal lant language and graceful compliments as tributes to Miss Patterson's great merits and accomplishments. Governor Vance is always equal to any emergency, and when he bos grace, modest worth and Southern beauty for his theme, the readers of the News can imagine how eloquently and with propriety of lan guage and manner he acquitted him self. In one of her pieces of recitation, Mrs Caudle's Lecture, Mrs. Caudle be rates her poor husband on the sin of joining the Masons. She tells him that she believes the order is all a pretence and a humbug that there is nothing real or genuine in it that it is all fun and nonsense, adding, , "tuat men who are fond of jokes are good for nothing, silly creatures, no account to themselves, their wives or acyboly else." When Miss Patterson concluded the sentence, she paused for a moment and cast a significant glance at Governor ; Vance who was occupying a seat on tier right. As the Governor is accused of a slight partiality lor jokes himself. Miss Patter son's manner,- which seemed . to say "but Governor, you are an exception,'' brought down the house in a tumult of applause, mingled with wild shouts ot laughter. 5 Appointments by the Bible Aoest.
