TIIC CUMBERLAND FAIR. , Fatettevillk, Nov. 12. We are greatly gra ified to atnta that tha fourth annual fail of the Cumberland Ag ricultural aociety a a complete success, notwiihsianJing tl.e unpropni'iva omens which hud fom-whnt discouraged the exe cutive committee for ioidj tinif previous lo the fair. The company present was num erous, the exercises of tho occasion varied and attractive the articles on exhibition highlJcredituble to the contributors, and the receipts to the societjr sufficiently abund ant to testify thut th interest in the asso ciation by the people of the county is most deci ledly on the increase., V. e were much plet-sed to see so numerous an attendance on the part of our friends from every sec tion of the coun y, as well as fiom the neighboring towns and contiguous counties an.J we only regret that our friends from the cou itry did not contribute to the stock and produce departments as liberally nnd credi'ably as they might bate done with a little more effort. In looking through the Farmers and Mechanic's Department we were struck with the superior quality of our agricultur al produce and the finish and elegance of many of the specimens of heme manufae ture. It is scarcely necessary to speak of the excellence of McKethan's spcimens in the vehicle line." They aie alwnye ol the best finish an 1 most substantial work manship. We noticed a fine set of Har ness from Overby'e establishment, manu factured by Mr. John Vaughn from the same establishment a splendid Saddle with biidle and martingales, both of wh:ch arti cles recrived well deserved premiums In the mineral department 'we found an cx tremely rich specimen of Copper ore from the Watson mine in Chatham, exhibfted bf Mr. G. W. Ge. It was by far the richest specimen of ore on exbition, but was un accountably overlooked by the mineral committee in the award of premium. Mr. Gee also had a number of excellent vegetable specimens fro:n his garden, Egg and Pepper plants &e. ; - . Fkral flail possessed an unusual array of fancy and 'useful contributions, princi pally from the ladies, embroideries, house hold fabrics, baby-c'oihea, pet (sometimes known as bachelors' aversions) fancy needle-work of all descriptions, drawings, paint ings in oil and water colors, artificial fruit and flowers, &c &c. A basket of artificial frutt n ade by Miss Hannah Kelly seemed to attract general attention and elicit mich admiration from the connoweurs in such matters. The fruit was constructed of rosin, so naturally, de licately and beautifully, colored as actual ly to have deceived many persons, who im agined the lemons, oranges, peaches, grapes and plums to be genuine fruit. The drawings and piiintings by Miss El la Pierce gave evidence of considerable ar tistic taste and talent. The paintings on glass by. Misses Mclntyre and McPnerson were excellent, as were the crayons and water colors of the Misses Monroe, and al so the "Winter Scene" of Miss Sandfwrd. The pastils and oil . painm gs of W. J. My rover attracted much noiice. , Prof, liar's paintings were much udmtrod. In the department of Household fabrics we noticed a number of beautiful quilts, home-made carpeting, blanketing, home spun &c &c, all of which reflec ed much credit upon Ihn taste, skill and industry of tho ladies. One splendid quilt, raa'e by Miss Flora McN ill, was purchased by Mr. H. M. Crane of New Ycr, for 920. and he felicitated himself upon the purchase. Not being upon the "tasting, committee, and being denied .palpable access, to the sweetmeats, condiments &c. we 'are not prepared for any specialities cn those sub jectsi; the premium list spenks for them. Mrs. Wm. Bow hod ou exbition a beau tiful specimen of the genus Up$, a Maltese Hare, a very rare animal in this country. It was, with great care and difficulty, rais ed by Mrs. B , and attracted considerable attention. . We were presented .with spe cimen of the paper manufactured at David Murphy's factory from the heretofore use less pulp cf the Chic; 3 rugar cane after the juice has been expressed. : It makes an excellent wrapping paper, smooth, flexible nnJ strcn, and we were assured by Mr. Vink that its manufacture would be both practicable and profitable. But we would novel finish1 the enumeration of interesting specimens should we, attempt to describe them all, and we must close our list. On Thursday there were six military companies in attendance, forming quite a gallant escort for the young ladies ("girls," says somebody, who forgets that .yo ng A merica flourishes as much in crinoline as in trjws raj of the High School, who marched in procession to the Fair grounds to bear Mr. Me Raw's address. The fine appearand of the visiting companies was quite aft addition to the pleasing features of the occasion, ar.tt we hope to see them at eaCh succeeding fniMh pleased an ; gratifying guests of the Society . The Sax Horn Band would doubtless have played very well had they performed ; but a com bination of shrinking modesty, (in a horn) with other rare and cormhcndable virtues on the part of some of the' corps prevented the prodigies of melody which Otherwise might have enchanted the trees and stones in rb vicinity.- ? -o- f i,- On Friday, the Don "Quixotes, iltuilt the command of a second edition of the verita ble knigi'.t of Salamanca, drew large eon course to the fairgrounds to witness a dress parade nml marriage ceremony a la burlet que. At roll cnll much surprise was mani fested that so many of our grave and rev erend seniors'of the community shoukfbe found in those grotesque ranks.- The Don's remarks prior to the perform ance of the nuptial ceremony wete distin- fuisned for all the '-weight, dignity und n uteuess which characterized his .puissant ancestor, and were mos' pertinent, practi cal and poetical. Not un accident of any kind nor trou blesome occurrence of any eharacter mar red the pl-Hsantnes9 of the occasion. . May t be Society enjoy many such, atmiversu ries N Carolinian.

BALLOON ASCENSION AND FIGHT GREAf EXPENDITURE OF GAS , The ascension which Professor- Ma rion promised to make at Hudson on Wednesday, ended, in a row, e nd a fight Professor M. having a short supply of funds, ordered up a short supply of gas He got into the basket, but it would not ascend. The Professor then qui loose fiom the basket and undertook to go up as he did in this city, seated ' on the ropes.. He did not succeed ; not gas e nough. Professor then -pulled of bis com, "rest jid boots, hoping less weight wr uld give lura rxrore buoyaitcy. An otl er failure.- He then fflered to pull off pantaloons. and stockings, and go up in the costume of a ''Roman seiwtor.1 This so horrified an old lady from Ihe tural districts. that she allowpd s-lie'd faint and call the police Prbfessor re con.Mdeied the Hdnlnri Senator qiieStion, and resolved i that he'd have more ga. More gas w-is procured 5,0(Xf feet. Appeared to make baloon heavier. Hudson gas is made on a new principal, and can be poured from jngs like mo lasses. A portion of the people became impatient, and informed thc Professor lhat be was a "foo-foo." Professor talk ed back. This exasperated tire crowd. Professor seeing exasperation, fainted away, and had to be carried id the Hud son House. Mr; Myers; then under took to make an ascension on his own hook. Myers also failed,- whereupon people informed Myers that he too was a" "ioo-foo." Myers thinking this was personal, got otrt off the roes, folded up the baloon and returned to the Hudson House. At the Hudson House the feud was renewed. John Best allowed thai Marion "ought to bechaweJ up for cat meat." Marion retorted, aud offered to fight Best for $25. Mr. fiesf sailed in, squared for the Professor and 'fput a shed over his eye" in about olfe and half minutes. Marion fell was picked up and put to bed. Thus- 'terminated the secon I great balloon ascension in Hud son. To supply Marion so nsed np the gas at headqrtarters that half the city last night had fogo back to oil lamps and tallow candles, pining the row the balloon was badly torn.
