Mrs. Fair.-Mrs. Fair's face has assumed a deathly pallor. A San Francisco paper says: "After her conviction of the murder of Crittenden there was a host of friends, or pretended friends, who called to see her, and as they termed it, to comfort her in her great misfortune.' But little by little the number of visitors grew less, and now, besides her mother, daughter and attorneys, there are only three women who call on her; and only one of these pays her visits daily. She passes her time of late in reading and writing. She still refuses to take prison food, and her meals are brought to her twice a day from a restaurant. Mrs. Fair is full of hope that the court having her case under consideration will say by its decision that she is entitled to a new trial.'
