Sun we find the following, which we commend
to our readers, old and young eve published
in the Sun, about year since, a statement that
tn. rubbing of all parts of the body three times
day with Fat bacon, as soon rs the scarlet fe-
yer discloscs itself, was a sure remedy for the
disease. We have recently been called on by
a number of responsible gentlemen from the
counties, who assure us that j: has been tried
in numerous instances with uniform success;
while those who depend on medicines alone had,
in most cases, fallen victims to its ravagcs A
gentleman yesterday assured us that in two ca.
ses in his vicinity patients had recovered under
its application, after being given up as hopeless
by the physicians. The remedy is simple, and
can do no harm; we therefore recommend its
trial"

browning glory of all was the fair, who in great num-
bers appeared in all the of this great exhibit
ton. Hotels crowded beyond their capacity.
Boarding houses overrun, and the surplus flowed
into the State Court and Market Houses. We were
snacked from this last crowd by old friend Sam
Medary, who has heart big the State he much
honors, and whose " latch string" is always out.
At least fifty thousand persons were present.
The exhibition exceedingly fine The number OF
horses CATTLE sheep, hogs and poultry exceeded by far
our expectations. great variety of fruit, mostly
from the northern portion of the State exhibited
The exhibition Of mechanical skill, and especially the
newest and latest improvements in agricultural mpe-

slight shower the first day laid the DUST and the
last day rained little but enough the
