ARRANGEMENTS,

A large tent has been provided which will seat
25OO, furnishing convenient place for holding
meetings and listening to the addresses. The at.
tendance of several distinguished individuals from
abroad has been solicited, some of whom will de-
liver addresses. A FREE DINNER is to be g
ven by the La Sale county Agricultural Society
on an extensive scale (; after which short address
es, sentiments, &c. will occupy the afternoon
Whether any dinner or supper shall be got W
for the benefit of the society is yet undecided
One or more bands of music will be in attendance
and marshal and aids appointed to form process
sions and direct in the proceedings. Seats will be
provided for THE LADIES, and their attendance is
earnestly solicited.
The members having profted by the experience
Of two exhibitions, have consequently been better
prepared to make arrangementsfor this; and the in
terest having never been 50 great among the far
mer as 1t now is, it is reasonable to expect this ex.
hibilon will exceed any previous one of the kind
witnessed in the West. The attendance the frs,
year at Napervillc was about 1000, last year at
Aurora from 5000 to 1000, and this year at Otta-
wa it will be at least TEN THOUSAND.

The Greatest Discovery Of the Age

IVHNHiS term may be justly applied to the Disco
Il very OF compromising medicines with the
best double refined Loaf Sugar in such manner
that children and adults may now eat medicine
with much pleasure as they do the best confec-
tionary.
For this discovery we are indebted to 4. Sher-
man, NJ. d., of the city of New York. who has
been regular practitioner of medicine in that city
for the last ten years; and also member of the
New York Medical Society.
The Doctor, after devotng his attention for n
long time TO the subject about three years since
offered his invention to the public under the name of
SHERMAN'S INDICATED LOZENGES,
Since which time they have gained a celebrity for
the cure of different combinations for which they
are recommended, unprecedented in the history of
any other medicine--they consist of
COUGH LOZENGES,
Which are tho safest and most elIcctua remedy
for Coughs, Colds, Consumption, Whooping
Cough, Asthma sc. ever offered to the public.
They Operate by promoting ezpcctoration, allay-
ing the imitation of Coughing, and removing the
cause of disease.
WORM LOZENGES,
| The only nfalible Worn medicine ever discov-
cred In over 100000 cases they have never been
known to fail. Many diseases arise from worms
and occasion long and intense suffering and even
death, without their even being suspected grown
persons are very often afflicted with them and
are doctorcd for various complaints, without any
benefit; when one dose of these Lozengcs would
speedily cure them.
CAMPHOR LOZENGES.
For nervous or sick head ache, papations of the
heart, lassitude and nervous affections generally.
Persons travelling or attending large parties, will
lind the lozengcs really revvng, and imparting
the buoyancy of youth used after dissipation,
they will restore the tone of the system generally,
and remove all the unpleasant symptoms arising
from too free living.
| CATHARTIC LOZENGES,
The best cahartic medicine for removing bile from
the system and preventing attacks Of the bilious
and intermittent fever of this section of country.
FEVER AND AGUE LOZENGES.
These Lozenges have been tested by a celebrated
| physician in practice Of twenty years and have
never been known to fail in removing this dis
trcssing disease, In addition to which, if the dl-
rections be followed, the disease will not return
SHERMAN'S POOR MANS PLASTER.
| This Plaster, of which over 100000 are sold
yearly, is believed to be the best plaster for Theu-
matism lumbago, pain in the back breast, side, or
any other part of the body, prepared, and its
price (ony l2! cents) brings it within the reach
of every person in the community.

articles just received and for sale by

n U1e murdered by her Husband.-
On the night of the 18th inst, as we learn
from the Leonardstown Herald, a horrid
murder was committed in the neighbour
hood of Charlotte Hall, Prince Georges
county, Nd, by man named James
Williams, upon the body ofhs wife. After
the murder had been committed, the fiend
in human shape deliberately removed his
victim into the yard fronting the house,
where the deed was perpetratcd. and fed
form the neehborhood, and has not been
arrested. His little son. an interesting
boy of about eight years old, and who
saw his mother expire under the blows
inflicted by her inhuman husband seated
himself close behind the remains of his !
murdered parent which he continued to
watch over during the whole of the gloo-
my night, and did no, leave the spot I'M
til some of the neighbors had assembled
on the following morning. Williams is an
incorporate man, and we have no doubt
that run, caused him TO commit the foul
and diabolicai act.
