RALEIeH, AUG. 25, 1858

A. NJ, GoRMAN, Eso-Dear Sir: Your
letter of the 10Th inst, making some enqui
rics Of me as Corresponding Secretary of
the State Agricultural Society, has just come
to my hands, and [ take great pleasure in
afFording your readers the information they
solicit.
In relation to the first enquiry, as to the
manner of forming County Agricultural So
cietics, l would say-the course to be pur-
sued is, first to make call upon the Far
mers of the County, and others interested in
the matter, to meet at some specified time
and place; at which meeting let Temporal
ry Chairman and Secretary be appoiated,
the object Of the meetingbe explained by the
Chairman, or some other person present
There is then committee of three or Eve
appointed by the Chairman, at the sugges-
tion or upon motion of some one, for the
purpose of reporting Constitution and By
Laws for the government of the Society
which is to be formed, and this committee
should be instructed to report at an early
day. This is as much action as can be Ia
ken at this primary meeting.
Your second enquiry, asking the relation
that County Societies bear TO the State So
ciety, answer only so far as nay own views
90 in relation to the matter. There is in the
Constitution and By-Lrws of the State So
cioty nothing that expresses any connection
between these different bodies, any farthel
than that delegates arc admitted from CodH
ty Societies to take seats in any meeting o
the State Society, and participate in the dc
bates, but are not allowed to vote. Th
connection, as understand it, is this couu
ty societies report through their delegate
the progress of Agriculture in the count
from which the delegates arc sent, and ais
anv practical experiments which may hav
been made by any member of said society
and that they have the advantage of lister
ing to any discussion by the State Societ
from which at times they may gather sue
information as may be interesting to ther
and the Society which they represent. Tt
object of all such institutions is to improI
the Agriculture of our State; and any az
vantage which one can afford the othe
should be reRdered cheerfully.
TO your third question l would say A
that is necessary to compete for prize at ii
State Fair, is to send or make known SUI
intention to the Chairman of the Committ
of Arrangements, JERE: Nixon. Esq,
Raleigh. There is no tax to be levied u
on the introduction Of any article upon t
Fair grounds.
To the fourth question, would repl
In the September number of The Farme
Journal you will find copy Of Cons
tuition and Bylaws for County Societi'
which may be added to as the Society pr
crosses.
This last, think, completes the numb
of questions which you have asked, and
have endeavored to answer them III suct
manner that none can labor under misa
preheusion. Being ready at all times to
ford you any information belonging to |
Office Of Corresponding Secretary of |
State Agricultural Society,

g. ma and Consumption.
Many years of trial, instead of impairing the
public confidence in this medicine, has won for
it an appreciation and notoriety by far exceed
ing the most sanguine expectations its friends
Nothing but its intrinsic virtues and the un-
mi. taxable benefit conferred on thousands of
sufferers, could originate and maintain the rep
utation it enjoys. While many inferior reme-
dies thrust upon the community, have failed and
been discarded, this has gained friends by every
trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they
can never forget, and produced cures too nu
merous and too remarkable to be forgotten.
| While it is fraud on the public to pretend
that any one medicine will infallibly cure
still there is abundant proof shat the Cherry
Pectoral does not only a general thing, but
almost invariably cure the maladies for which
it is employed.
AS time makes these facts wider and better
known, this medicine has gradually become the
best reliance ofthe afflicted, from the log cabin of
the American Peasant, to the palaces Of Euro.
pean Kings. Throughout this entire country,
in every State, city, and indeed almost every
hamlet it contains, Cherry Pectoral, is known
as the best remedy extant for diseases of the
Throat and Lungs, and in many foreign coun-
tries, il is coming to be extensively used by
their most intelligent Physicians In Great
Britain. France and Germany, where the medi-
cal sciences have reached their highest perfec-
slant use in the Armies, Hospitals, Aims Houses,
Public Institutions, and iii domestic practice, as
the surest remedy their attending Physicians
can employ for the more dangerous affections of
the lungs. .8lso in milder cases, and for chill
dren it is safe, pleasant and effectual to cure
In fact some of the most flattering testimonials
We receive have been from parents who have
found it efficacious in cases particularly ncden-
tai to childhood.
The CHERRY PECToRAL is manufactured by q
e practical Chemist, and every ounce Of it under
4 his eye, with invariable accuracy and care 1t
y is sealed and protected by law from counter
:, feits, consequently can be relied on as genuine
S without adulteration.
d We have endeavored here to furnish the
$. community with medicine of such intrinsic
l, superiority and worth as should commend it.
8, self to their con6dence-a remedy at once safe,
S, speedy and effectua, which this has by repeated
and countless trials proved itself to be; and
! trust by great care in preparing it with chemi-
E. cal accuracy, of uniform strength TO afford
I'd Physicians a new agent on which they can rely
re for the best results, and the afflicted with rem.
edy that will do for them all that medicine can
b do.
