Five young fellows about I,owndesvl thought to hnve some fun last Thursd night, and went near the dweliingof Capta Kalford Harden, and sent one of their nu ber to the house to order the "Revenues" other quarters. The ' Revenues'' were much alarmed that they run oil' without ta Ing their pistols, handcuffs, kuueks, carp< Iwigs, ac. It Is not true that forty men si rounde-l the house.

The event of the week was the Tenth An nual Fair of the Abbeville County Aerlcul? , tural Society, which commenced on \\ eduesday and ended on Friday. Ot j The Secretary's office was opened as early i as Tuesday and by noon of Wednesday the -s? ! entries were all made. As is always the case Ll nnr I.'uIk II.I.,,t .w.-o...... in! attended 011 the first day. On Thursday I morning portentous clouds overspread the horizon and at about eleven o'clock a slight I I rain began to fall and steadily increased un; til one o'clock when a drenching rain cmptl1n .'t(-' 1 ?'l?uds. The unl'avorahie weather prellie | vented many of our friends in- the country n-| from coming to town thai day. ami kept a large number of our own citizens from hc-j.ur j in? present. Friday was a beautiful day. 1 " | with a stIII-, cold breeze blowing, and, in con"K ! sequence of the disagreeablcness of wliicli, a L',e j crowd somewhat, smaller than would have rl" otherwise been present to see the premiums mo 1 awarded. IVV J The interest in the horse show was so great ,"[[ on ThuiNdav that many persons stooil in "" croups around the stand in the rain during tin* whole exhibition, which was not quite closed whet; the pouring rain he^an to fall. The receipts aniouuted to nearly four hundred dollars, or but little over half as much . as they were last year. Besides the disagree* ,? 1 agreeable weather, there were perhaps some 'r^ i other causes which would, even with more }'" pleasant weather, have had their influence to I keep some from coming. ?n It was not until late when the Executive ' , Committee met and resolved to publish the ]{. premium list, and all the time, from lirst to 'V last a portion of the committee gave expresCl1 sion totheopiiiion that the Fair would l>ca *|r failure, and In this they were supported by a ' number of others. kThese circumstances had a depressing efl'ect 1 upon all, and kept some of us at home. Hut despite these drawbacks we had an excellent exhibition of choice articles in every department, and the offleers have every reason to I congratulate themselves upon the general re,l? suit. W. II. Parker, Ksq, Vice-l'resident. in 1 the absence of the President Colonel Colli ran, 1,, discharged the duties of this office with great '' acceptability while Mr. J. F. C. Dul're was Indefatigable in his labors. His efficiency g" andskill in performing the difficult duties dcf. volving upon that officer was pleasing to h~. those with whom lie caincin contact. "ir- On Thursday morning at the signal from m- thecomniittee, who had taken position on j of the Judges' stand, began the best exhi-1 ng hit Ion of horses of all kinds that we have or seen in many a day. The owners of these ire horses had brought them to ourannual Fair of the occasion, and to bear away the valuable premiums which the committee stood ready to award. . CARRIAGE HORSES, OPEN TO THE WORI.D. IC? were first called for. To this responded Mr. P. ,st, l'. McCullough with a pair of Bays, and Mr. al_ Richard Hill with a pair of same color. Af[,e ter some very fine driving by both, Mr. rj. McCullough wasawarded the blue ribbon. During the driving in this ring, as Mr. McCullough was dashing around the judges stand, a collision between his buggy and Mr. Tusten's became unavoidable. It looked squally at first and all expected a serious d. accident. The powerful bays however, carn(l ried their buggy almost over that of Mr. Tusco ten, and luckily, no body was hurt. Unl> a tj. lame wheel and a twisted axle. ill CARRIAGE MARES, OPEN TO THE WORLD, e? were then marshalled to the front. ld Mr. John Brooks led the procession from the stables with a splendid pair of bays; Messrs. W. C. Mc<4owan and \V. T. Cochran held the lines over their proudly stepping iron grays. Lady Lucia and Nellie Gray; . , Mr. D.S.McCuilough'sgracefuily travelling ,L chestnut sorrel treldlng made a good match for Mr. Richard Hill's superb bay. Mr. S. s. Marshall guided over the ground < , his sorrel Belle and a bay belonging to Mr. I Richard Hill,?the two maklnga palrhard to Z beat^ Dr. J. Augustus Marshall, of Ninety-Six, jf* and Mr. W. S?. Cothran, of Abbeville, rode I together behind their blooded mares. 1 These made up the competition for the sec- i a ond honors to be given out. As they swiftly j ig trotted around the circle, or counter-marched i je their footsteps, they presented a pleasing ( is scene, at the conclusion of which the blue I ie ribbon was attached to the bridles of Lady i r. Luciaand Nelly Gray. THE COUNTY RAISED BUGGY MAKES were then called out, when Mr. \V. S. Colli- ! it ran's and Dr. J. A. Marshall's elegantly ' ie formed and nimble footed bays came abreast , i- in such style asto overawe all other cxhlbi- , tors. None dared to compete, and these aniir mals bore off the Muttering prize, more i if- proudly. If possible, than if It had been won d over a full ring In active strife for the badge of superiority. I ts TtIK FANCY TEAMS ? >e were next invited to a place lii the picture. ' d Mr. (?. M. Hodges presented his spirited 1 |J- cream and rapid-moving bay, which made a t>. stunning team.

The two making a choice team . which the most fastidious might have been pleased to own. J; After much siillful drivingand many a P; graceful turn on the plateau in the centre of J," which stood the stand, the competitors were .' directed to make the circuit of the big ring ' which encircled the grounds. All eyes followed the beautifully going teams. .Specials1 tors and Judges alike were puzzled as to wiiicli '<s should receive the premium. Some expressre in" the opinion that it should be sjlvcn to one i>l and others entertaining a dill'crent mentai s- conviction. The committee Anally agreed to confer the emblem of victory upon dapple r- gray Lady Lucia und bay Helle. i in After tills came the championship for il SINtJI.E ni'GOY HOUSES, 10 open to the world, when a number were pre- . sen led that, contended for the committee's . a, laurels in this line. a Mr. I>.

Aftermuch driving and wiiile the spectators were in doubt, the perplexed Jury found a to verdict for the well-known Major Redmond, ig As he Joined the procession from the ground some genius, with a speaulative turn of e. mind, proclaimed his desire to buy the good feelings which the gratilicii owner was then y' experiencing.

The following entries were made: >11 Dr. J. A. Marshall appeared in a sulky, il- drawn by his well-kept sorrel ; rs. Mr. \V. C. McGowan put Lady Lucia on her rjf. inetal again; ?e Mr. John Brook's Nelly Bay, came on the ground with her master close behind her; Mr. S. S.

H. Norwood's bay marc was promptly on the spot. She is a little "last" and nevj er fails to make "good time" when her "lovus er" iioids the reins. She strongly contended for thepiemiuni as her right; Mr. A. W. Jones' coy Belle, a splendid .ittle beauty, of good figure and of graceful il' carriage, put in an appearance, with Tom Hull/, as groom; la- Mr. G. M. Hodges showed his light bay n- mare not without a reasonable prospect that she mliitil be crowned with the royal blue. ]]f. Mr. \V. T.

After amost interesting contest Nelly Bay, the properly of Mr. Joiin Brooks, retired from the field witli a blue bo.inct String dangling from her head garniture. AN EXTRA DMVK. This ended tne driving that had been billed ee for the occasion. Mr. H. H. Norwood and Mr. _s G. M.

Aitly tor carrying their riders as gracefully and making as many turns as do the circus horses int in their grund entree, the judges directed the aw exhibitors to exercise their steeds on the tof track around the grounds. When all were on 'he the beaten road and going at a timely canith ter, the quick trot or the smoothly rocking rill pace, Mr. Jones' mare, feeling her oals. the struck off" at a speed altogether unexpected to ; to both rider and spectators. Mr. Norwood'sorl mare now became indignant at the curb lit- which hnd heretofore been held on her and >jp. disregarding the wishes of her rider, suddenthe ly put oil' at the speed of the wind, as if with be the intention of overtaking her rival. Dls? a umclng their competitors as to speed, both ins animals carried their masters around the circuit of a quarter of a mile in so short a pace of time that It would have done credit to the fleetest of foot. This little run created some\g whatof a sensation among theinterestedspecntr tators whose eyes followed the Hying coursers tu- with bated breath. Many contended that af- each should be awarded a premium for speed, nto whether the run was regularly advertised or ce" not. The committee of Judges however ind thought differently, and after the horses had vas marched back Into the ring Mr. Marshall's t?x. Belle was the proud recipient of the honors ere under this head.

General Mac Mosely now drove his fine bay stallion, Granger, around the ground, attachto his sulky. Granger's long mane and flowing tail, together with his tine form and graceful movement as he trotted at the swiftest pace before tin- flying wheels, attracted general admiration. 11F.AUTIKUL SCR KEN. I Nothing at the Fair elicited more admirathan the elegant four panelled foUlim:screen, mounted In red morocco, six feet high ami eight feet lonsr, exhibited hy Mrs. ISeuet. It wasa real work of art and Worthy of the imitation of nil our Indies. ?.in the screen there wen* fully two thousand picture-;, lar^e and small, grave and tray, pretty and otherwise, eacli separate and distinct, to itself, yet the whole so artistically and skilllully eoinbined that each panel presented to the casual observer the appearance of being a single picture. one side was covered with countless pictures in colors, the other being made up of engravings. MISS not.I.Y CHRISTMAS. Amongthe many pretty articles exhibited at our Fair was a beautiful doli the property of Mr. Thos. rarkcrand keeping watch over his show ease of Fancy Articles for the Holidays. This doll was arrayed in a lovely dress of white Swiss,cut ami made in the itreton style,atone of our principal mnntua-making establishments, where any plain lady can be made to look as beautiful as u Greditu goddess if she only patronizes Dolly's mantua-maker. MISCKT.I.ANKOt'S NOTICES. Dr. K. l'arker had on exhibition a handsomely arranged show-ease containing specimens of the many fancy articles kept for sale it liis store. Mr. James M. I?*iwson, tho biggest, cigar dealer in Abbeville, had an attractive illspiay of the most delightful brands of his goods, together with sample* of the many artleles in this line of business. Mr. J. L. Simpson had the White Sewing Machine in operation and pleased many of our lady friends with its tine qualities. Messrs. C. K. llruee and J. C. Woodruff, did some choice work on the Singer Machine, which made a favorable impression on those who witnessed the process. Mr. Kurz exhibited the finest lonp-forage cutter In existence, ft is an article much needed by our people who should call at Ills shop and enquire of him the particulars. Messrs. Seal A Sign had a most elegant display of all kinds of four wheeled vehicles, that were'?the subject of general commendation. The committee made special mention of the manufactures by this firm, which is deserved. They are practical business men and know exactly how to supply the wants of our people. The man with the "Steam Cooker" attracted the attention of everybody by his speeches and the exhibition of his excellent patent. Mr. A. M. 11111 exhibited his patent spinning wheel, which Is a curiosity, and we havenodoubt an excellent invention, that may be of great benefit to the struggling pour in these hard times. There was some sort of a patent non-cxplosive kerosene lamp fixture on exhibition, but as we failed to get Into Its merits we are unable to speak advisedly of It. The patent bee-gum exhibited by Mr. A. T. Mcllwatne attracted notice. It Is a "family tiee-hlve*'in which a great number of the "little busys' may work, and then It has a convenient back door through which burrlars may enter and quietly deprive the industrious laborers of the fruit of their honest toil. The facility with which they may t>e robbed Is, we believe, the chief benefit to be .lerlved from the use. Miss Rebecca Cater and Miss Kate Calhoun lind each lovely specimen rugs made of scraps,artistically worked 011 cotton bagging is a base. Miss M, L. Smith's cbinellle worked rug was daintily made l>.v deft flngersand was lnleed beautiful to look upon. Miss Clarkic Cothran exhibited some lovely specimens of worsted mottoes on perforated paper that were worthy of premiums. The Lord's Prayer artistically worked on perforated paper in beautifully varying colors and curving lines of different style letters. made a pleasing picture, while it exhibited the good taste and skill of the maker. Miss Mattie 15ritt, one of Long Cane's loveliest young ladies had a beautiful pencil drawing 011 exhibition which many thought tvorlhy of a premium. Mrs. Mary A. I'errin's oil painting was nuch admired and was worthy of the highest consideration from the committee, roui/ritv. The show in fine poultry was the largest ind best that we have seen at Abbeville. Eighteen exhibitors had coops on the ground, 'ontaiiiing peril a ps from sixty to eighty owls. Some of the young gentlemen took standing scats on the coops while the horses nere being exercised. One of the aforesaid rcntlemen suddenly broke the slats and went ll.rltlitxf All ?/??\ nf \f?ii?H* l"kllO]'IW>\ ihoieest l'lynioutli lincks, \vlitch created a iciissition. and for a moment, the boys divided attention with (lie horses and Hie above inenlioned gentleman as lie scrambled out of tixe chicken coop. THE MII.ITARY DRILL OX FBI DAY. At one o'clock the drum was tupped as a dgnal to the soldiery to collect for the purpose of displaying the proficiency acquired i?y the numerous drills of the last two months?drills that had caused our square lo issuine at night (he character of a parade ;round and to echo to the tramp of armed men and the stern voice of command. The L-ompany being formed, (,'apt. White assumed the command and proceeded to "show oil" his hoys in a masterly manner. Everything known to company muureuvring from "fours left!" up and down was admirably and creditably executed. The wheeling was particularly well done and the movements In nbli(|ue. After tha boys had sufficiently dlslingulshed themselves in manoeuvring, the company was halted and put through the manual of arms. This dillic.ult test was initially borne, to the crent satisfaction of the spectators, who, while not all critics were yet nble to re mark regularity, preciseness and exactitude of time in the execution of orders when they saw it, llad there been com petition in the drill as had been expected, we are satisfied our boys would have given a good necountof themselves. All remarked upon the beauty of the uniform worn by the Rities. THE PRESS GANG. Mr. T. B. Crews, of the Iswrciwri'lc Herald who is so favorably known to our people, as a gallant soldier in the late war and as an excellent newspaper man for several years, since that time, was with us on this occasion. Mr. Kobert K. Todd, of the An/b.rson Journal was also here with his pencil and note book.

F. F. Gary was here t iking notes for the Auffuxta Chronicle and Otmlitiitionali.it. Our neighbor across the river Is always mindful of South Carolina, and Abbeville in par. tieular. This paper llrst suggested to Carolinians the propriety of striking straightout for our rights against the Radicals. The stage coach schedule of the Itai I roads from Charleston this way brings the Augusta papers hero, as they do the Charleston Acice anil Courier, one day behind time. Mr. W. A.

The State of South Carolina, County of Richland?In the Court of t oininou Pleas. The State, ex rrl>itvnw. the Attorney General, {daintlfl, against the Greenvilleand Colum>ia Railroad Company, II. II. DeLeon, trustee, Wv A. Clark trustee, and others, defendants. James S. Glbbesand others, plaintitrs,against the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Comntwl nthwv < 1 (?(el li l;m t All the questions involved in the above reel ted cases have been fully argued before me for two days, without any objection or intimation, by any one, that there may be any deficiency whatever in the pleadings, or the want of proper parties to the cases, heard before me as one case. All the questions so argued require, for their solution, ttic true construction of various statutes of this State, which will require much time and ?ireful consideration. Hut, pending such consideration, the Attorney General of this.St ate, which Is the holder of nearly all tho tlrst mortgage bonds, and the guarantor of more than a million and a half of the bonds supposed to be secured by statutory lien, has moved for the appointment of a receiver, to preserve the mortgaged property so that It inny be pfoperly distributed according to the rights of the parties, as may be hereafter determined. In tills motion, a very large number of the bondholders, including all, or nearly all, the tlrst mortgage bohds, concur. It Is opposed on behalf of so?re of the bondholders, 011 the ground that the said property is already In the hands of a receiver, by order t*r Judge Melton, formerly made in these cases, on the IKth day of June, 1N72; and, further, 011 the ground of tlie 1 want of proper parties to thcsecauscs. I consider thai the said order of Judge Melton did make the officers of the (jrecnvilie and Columbia ltallrond Company otfiecrs of this court and responsible to it in the character of receivers: but they have not executed the proper bond, nor have they filed their accounts or performed the othcrduties required by that order. It is, therefore, imperative upon me to put an end to that condition ot the pronerty, and to place it more substantially in the hands and under the custody and order of this court. It is therefore, ordered that James Conner, Esq., be, and he Is hereby, appointed receiver of all and singular the property and assets, l"lglllS, Clt'Ul l.N illlll llUllt llll'V.IUI 1UV tion defendant, the Greenville ami C'olumhlu Itailroad Company, that. he ilo forthwith dei maud and receive possession thereof from any and all persons whomsoever, in whose possession the same may now he, and the same wifely keep and preserve, subject to the control, order and direction of this court, with power and authority to manage and operate the said railroad; to receive the income and earnings thereof, and of the same to dlsbujse whatever may be necessaey for the expenses of running the said rojd; and with ail the other and usual powers of receivers in like cases, and such other and further power and authority as may l>? conferred by the decree of this court hereafter to be filed. It Is further ordered that, before entering upon the duties of his office, the said receiver do file in the otllce of the clerk of this court hix bond, with sufficient surety, to be approved by thecourt, In the sum of fifty thou? aud dollars, conditioned for the faithful | performance of his duties as sucli receiver. ; jt is further ordered that the earnings and income of the said company be deposited, from day to day, in the Carolina National : Bank, of Columbia; and that tiie said receivei do file, at tbe end of each calendar month, ii? I tbe otnee of the clerk of this court, a statei ment of all moneys by hlra received ano , disbursed, to which all creditors of tbe suld ?company shall have tree access, with liberty ' ' -y .. ' ' p tofllo exceptions to the same or such parti thereof ns they may be advised, and Biibmli the same to tliis court at any regular tern thereof. It Is further ordered that nil and slngulai thd creditors of the wild Greenville and Co lutnbla Railroad Company be, and they are hereby, enjoined and restrained from lnstl tilting suit, or from further prosecuting sulU already Instituted, or from enforcing Judg' mcnts against the said company.
