IT NEVER FAILS. 1t is In the form of a
fine, light powder, to be made into drink, and
used for a few weeks previous TO the expected

little reduction of the tax on the privilege of

Agricultural Society Building.

The committees appointed in the several
townships Of the county, to solicit subscrip-
.tions for the purpose of erecting a building
for the use of the Portage County AgricuI-
tural Society, are earnestly requested TO at
tend to the business of their appointment
without delay; and to return the subscrip-
ton papers in their hands, (be the amount
subscribed whatever it may to the President
Secretary, or Treasurer of the Society, on
or before the first Tuesday of April next.
The board of government are pleased to
learn that in few townships, where the Com
mittee have engaged in the enterpaize with
promptnesss the amount of subscriptions
obtained fully equals their expectations );
from majority of the townships, however,
no report has been received, and the Board
ragret to say that they are apprehensive
that little or no attention has been paid to
the subject by those to whom it was intrust-
ed. 1t being the intention to build the pro-
posed house the present season, should the
amount subscribed warrant the undertaking,
the necessity of immediate and efficient &C
ton by the Committeeman, and those
friendly to the enterprise, must be apparent
to all The Board therefore repeat the
request that immediate efforts be made, to
obtain subscribers, by those having in charge
subscription papers, and that they return
the same, as above requested, without fail
ure-as the Board will thereby be enabled,
at their stated meeting on the day above
mentioned, (the first Tuesday in April,) to
take some definite action on the subject.
