There was a great deal of Stock and farm products exhibited by citizens of this plicj and county which we have not time this week to enumerate. - The ex"hihU4oji of poultry, of all breeds, . was very good r In the Ladies Department the articles were so numerous that we could not begin - lo do them justice were we to attempt a description: On Friday the Fair was visited by the pupils of Fayetteville Female High Schools in a body and by the Fayetteville Inde pendent Company. ' Tha Fair Ground was visited by a large concourse of people, and every thing pas sed off pleasantly and satisfactorily. The Executive Committee; the officers of the Socicty,and the polite Marshals deserve the thanks of all for the very satisfactory manner in which they discharged their teveral duties. iV. Carolinian. ' ; From tkt Pkiladelfki 7mes Another Sell Madnea, and a Method In It. On Wednesday last, a neatly dressed, very prepossessing, and prettily spoken wo man, somewhere between sweet sixteen and twenty-five years of age, drove up to the door of the Insane Hospital, over which Dr. presides, and inquired for ihat'gentle- man. She was ushered into the reception room, where she awaited the coming of the Doctor with an air of nonchalance : which rather fascinated the servant, who looked upon bcr with eyes of admiration and un feigned pleasure. When left alone she a- mused herself a woman always will in gratifying her curiosity by inspecting the various articles in the room critically an i thoroughly. The Doctor being announced, she received him with one of those bewil dering smiles which soma women know so well how to besiow, and . whose innoence no man of fueling can resist. The Doctor welcomed her with more than his usual warmth, and soon learned the object of her visit. She had come, she said, with a glance full of melancholy, and a tone of more than womanly ' tenderness,' to ascertain of the Doctor in person, whether she could secure nrivate nuaners tor ner husband, who was subject to intense fits of aberatfcn of mind, but whose conduct towaras ner, outer ana ' cruel as it was, could not alienate her love for himT which was ihe. all-pervading pns aiori of her soul. He bad grown so violent of late that she wished to have him secured from violence to himself a well as to. her, and hern tha charroimr creature wept for some moments.) and if she could make an arrangement with the Doctor, ; she urged that it should bo kept as private at his most secret ihnno-ht .nl hr husband Devona the scrutiny of visitors.' And she said her heart would break, she knev. it would, and weptDiueriy and long V The Doctor, as allVho know his kind and tender heartedness will readily imag"' ine, was not insensible to the touching re cital of his visitor, and with that frankness which always characterizes htm, he prom ised to comply with her wishes, to give her husband a private apartment and his special care; and also to shield him from the gaze of curiosity-seekers who run down public institutions.- . The lady was not long in arranging - terms; she was not long in expressing her ;, thanks, intermingled with tears; she was not long in fettling the details of her hus band's confinement; she was not long, in short," in taking her lea Vs. And as she stepped into her carriage, aided by the kind hand of the Doctor, she turned her beauti ful face towards him, and cast upon him a glance that was full of tenderness and sol icitude, and inspired him anew with admi ration and pity-.'. I be carriage drove away, the Uoctor s eyes following, amid the clouds of dust which followed in us wake, until it wis entirely lost to view. Down lo the bridge, along the crowded thoroughlare, over . the pebbled way of Chesnut street, to a Ihsd- ionable, if not the fashionable, jewelry es tablishment ot our cny, tne carriage piss ed, its sweet and solitary inmate glancing out ami milling within, and growing ra diant with a thought that requires another paragraph to learn. She alighted, and glided into the bazaar of gold and silver and precious stones with, all the stateliness of a queenr One or two of the gentlemanly attendants ran to learn her wish. She wanted to select a set of iilv r ware, not too elaborate in design of workmanship, nor yet too plain something neat, tasteful uni beuutilul. 1 tie various pat i i'rn were shown, and a set valued at $300 was selected by ihe lady of the stale ly tread. She desired the arucw put up, a bill made out, and the would settle i. Her wishes were complied with, and the lady took out l.er elegant portmonaie, T)Ut, alas? ihere were but about 840 in it. She had picked up her wrong pomnonaie, she sauf, with bewitching sweetness, ami she was vexed at her stupidity. She, however, could arrange it. She was the wife of Dr. -i the principal physician of the Insane Hospital, and she desired her uttendant to accompany her to that place, where she would pay bun at once. Who could re sist such a request, from a beautiful woman a'request spoken as much with the eyes as ihe voice. iNot the clerk, certainly. The two got into the carriage together, and back it whirled to the Hospital. The lady jumped from ihe carriage, and was was she. warmly greeted by the Doctor, who alfthe entrance. 'Doctor, this is my husband,' said with an air at once sweet and sorrow I ul. The noor attendant started. He was struck aghasL He could not fathom her meaning. j . What did you say, madam,' : he stam mered, as he best could, 'what did you sayf ' Doctor, this 13 uiy husband, please take him in"chrjre.' 'The deviL madam, I'm no, your hus band; what do yon meanif Bursting into tears she sobbed aloud. He has another spasm he has another spasm he has another-attack. Oh I Doc tor, it you have pity in your soul, secure bun, and save yourself and me from vio lence.' In vain the poor fellow attempted to ex- p ain. tie was nurrieu along tne cornaer and in;o a room, and confined securely the woman all the while following close, behind weeping as though ber heart would break. The doctor and the lady returned to the reception room, and the latter, after eivwg the other an outline of the peculiar ities of her alleged husband's attacks, to gether with soui directions in reference to the care she desired to have bestowed up on him, she left, promising to come again in a few diys. And away whirled the car nage, the silver ware, and the ladv, neither of which has been heard of since. The poor attendant was confined three lays before any one about the establish merit could be ihduced to convey a letter to his employers, who, all the time were suspecting his ho iesty, and preparing to advertisa him in the newspapers. Lpori ihe receipt of the letter it did not take ihem long to discover that tey had been sold most brilliantly; and upon their appearance at the hospital, it did not take the doctor long to discover that he had been sold de cidedly; the poor attendant was satined. iipon iis arrival at the hospital that he had been sold most sorrowfully indeed And here, we think we will end the story, whi' h has been talked over in fashionable circles for the past three or four days with many a hearty laugh.
