CosTIvENEss, headache, giddiness, pain in the
side and breast nausea and sickness, variable ap-
petite, yellow or swarthy complexion, &C., are the
usual symptoms of disordered liver. The Indi.
an Vegetable Pills are always certain to remove
the above complaints, because they remove from
the body those morbid humors which are the cause
not only of all disorders of the liver but of every
malady incident to man. A single twenty-five

severance according to directions, will most assur

Thus early in life, has Sarah been called to
meet the solemnities of death and to pass away
from earthly scenes and associations but for sew
eral months, she was enabled to contemplate death
and at length yielded to its power, with great
composure and she left her earthly home with
a comforting hope of passing into that heavenly
home which the infinite kindness of God has pro-
vided for those who receive His Son as their Sa-
vior and Portion-During the past winter, Sarah

THE NEW YORK STATE FAIR.

Held recently at Saratoga seems not to have
fulfilled the brilliant antcipations which were en-
,ertaincd of it bv editors and their correspondents
The attendance was not as large as last year as IS
made apparent from tie fact that the receipts for
tickets were then 81, 400 and this year only about
$1,000. Al those present with whom We have
conrerscd concur in saving that the exhibition OF
Stock of every description was meagre IN the OK
IRENE. The display Of Domestic and Manuiac-
turcd articles was by no means equal to that OF
preceding fairs. In relation to live stock espec-
ialv sheep many of cur farmers say that Addison
County would completely dwraf the Saratoga ex-
hiition The display Of Stations was superior
saws the letter writer, and yet there were num-
her Of fine animals on the ground. Black Hawk
who was matched with Moss Grey on the race
course and beat him attracted great attention
lie is the most beautiful horse in the county, says
the same writer The address Of Gov. Wright
WAS read by Senator Dix, and the last production
Of IN able, popular and highly distinguished
s;atsman was received with very thrilling in
trrest by the audience.
