I The sentence of Russell Wilson who was to be hung hero on January 8th, has been commuted by the Governor to imprisonment for life. The Hotel keepers were busy on Mon day preparing for visitors to the Fair. We understand that all the hotels will be filled to overflowing. The heaviest froBt of the season on Monday, typical doubtless, of the kill ing out of every thing green on | Tuesday. It can be said to the credit to Or- ; angeburg that there were no rows on I election day. on tho contrary every thing passed of quietly and creditably to both races. ? ? A Railroad aceident occurred on Sunday about twenty-four miles below Branchville. An engine and several cars run off the track, but we believe uo serious damage was done. Tue Rural Carolinian for November comes to us with its usual feast of read ing matter. Among other things we notice extracts from an article on Im-, migration by G. A Neuffer of our town. Silva no and Royal Ma rrio nettes. More animals, more cages, more dens, more chariots, more performers, more horses, more ponies, more birds, more reptiles, Inrgest procession, more musicians und tho greatest parade ever witnessed, can bo seen the day Ohl John Robinson exhibits in Orangeburg. EciiAUD has his canopy spread ou the Fair Grounds, md will take the best of pictures ut reasonable rates, lie otters inducements at this time which no one should let pass, who wants a good likeness of himself, or sweet, heart. Don't he afraid to go to him because you are ugly. Mu. Augustus Fischer seems deter mined not to be excelled as a grocer, and retail dealer in liquors cigars &c. Ho has now ou hand an immense stock of cigars, und some of the finest bran dies and liquors ever offered in the Orangeburg market. Persons calling at his store will be courteously aud faithfully served by his efficient assis tants Dr. Butler and Mr. Asbury Wannamakor. Be sure and see Silvauo. C. D. Kortjohn advertisers to-day "Hygienic Tonic Bitters," aud a fine lot of goceries liquors cigars &c. These bitters, for which he is agent, arc high ly recommended for their stimulating and health giving qualities, and as to his groceries and liquors Mr. Kortjohn is too well known by the people of Orangeburg for any doubt to be enter tained as to tho superior quality of every thing he sells. Mr. Kortjohn is young, but his reputation as a business man stands high. Besides his enter prise, another secret of his success is, his liberal use of printers ink. For 50 years the name of John Rob inson has been a house-hold word. He will shortly be with us again with his great show?in the Circus are over 100 artists?among whom is Robinson the Great, Stickncy the unrivaled, Kelly the unequalled, while Emma Lake,the greatest of living Equestriennes, is at the head of the female attaches. But why speak of the Circus, when the Menagerie is the feature of features.? Here, in addition to 50 cages, are tho monster Sea Lions, tho huge Rhinoce ros, -the performing Elephnnts, the pair of living Giraffes, the great Ost riches, tho Heards of Buffalo, and the three-homed Sacred Cattle ; and re member, all can be seen for ono price. The Big Show oxhibits at Orangoburg on Wednesday December tho 2nd. Everybody get leady to see tho Great World's Fair of Wonders. Bilvano the Wonder of the World. The Orangebfivg Fair. Oponed on Tuesday with flattering prospects of success. The first day be ing election day, the crowd of visitors was not as great as it may . otherwise1 have been, but from all the indications Wednesday and Thursday will be the attractive days. We had no time in our cursory view on Tuesday to give a iull description of all wo saw. In fact the great vari-^ ety of tho fair specimen* of every; kind,so bewildered us.that we could not concentrate, bur thoughts' on any one particular object. Some of the depart merits we noticed were fuller than usual, while a few seemed to fall a lit-, tie behind. We were particularly struck with the "Sweet Meat Department." We dont think the specimens of pickles, pre serves &c, could be excelled. We noticed also some of tho finest and most tempting cakes on exhibition. The "Fine Art Department" is also in our opinion tar ahead of previous years. We were highly pleased with the fine crayons and water color draw ings. The view of Maekays point was familiar. The painting on two buggies done by Mr. James A. Williams of ourtown was exquisite, and speaks well for Mr. Williams as a fancy painter. The "Poultry Department" is doubt less ono of the most attractive in the Fair. We saw one coop of "Buff Bra mas" and one coop of 'Light Brarnas* exhibited by Mr T. W. Muller, which kept us spell bound for several minutes in consequenceof their unusual sizeand beauty. In tho pigeon line a pair of "White Ruffs," and a pair of'Cairiers' were exquisitely beautiful.. Our attention was called to a specimen of Orangeburg Phosphate from phosphate rock in the upper part of Orangeburg County. If this leads to the development of mines of thin treasure, our old county will make new strides in the progress of wealth. We were also attracted by tho stuff ed head ami tail of a fox caught recent ly in England by a huuting party, and brought to the Orangeburg Fair by one of the party, who is a well known nud highly esteemed citizeu of the county, ever having the iuierest of our people nearest to his heart. The Fair on Wednesday was well attended, the Tournament being the attraction of the day. The procession was composed of seventeen Knights pre 8cuting an unusually fine appearance The Judges were Cnpt. T A. Jeffords, Cephas McMichael Esq.nnd DrSmokc. Th& 1st., Prize was gained by tho "Knight of Glencoo" E. L. Snlley. 2d Prize by the'Knight of Bamberg' W.J.Jones. 3rd by the''Knight ot Santcc" G A Fairy. Miss Minnie Hartzog of Bamberg was crowned Queen, and wore her lion ors with grace and dignit). It being near time for press, we will have to curtail our notes with the prom ise of being more full in our next. cojsoZeiicia.il,. MARKET REPORTS Office of the Oua.noebuiui Tines, November 5, 1874.
