write about the very happy effects ofyonr "Dr.
rilla - upon my daughter. who has been suffer-
inr under that dreadful disease, ErysipcIas, with
which she was attacked in 1S4S, and she was at
tended bysoinc OF our most eminent physicians
for eight months perscverngly, without any ben.
eicial effect whatever. She became reduced to
perfect skeleton. She had ulcers from her
shoulders to her knees which continually dis
charged offensive matter. Her physicians pro-
nounced her case hopeless, and beyond the reach
Of medicine. My ncighbors and myself thought
her dissolution near at hand. One Of my neigh
bors insisted on my trying "Dr. Guysou's Ex-
tract Of Yellow Dock and Sarsapariia," as a last
resort, for as all OF our physicians had given her
up, there could be no de,rinent init. lconsent-
cd to do so, more from d restless desire TO do
something for my daughter while life lasted than
from any hope Of getting relief. So commence
ed using the medicine according to directions,
and to my great establishment, she commenced
improving, and before she had used eight bottles
she was able 10 walk out. She used, in all, u
bottles OF DR.. Guyso,t's Yellow Dock and Sar-
saparila which restored her to perfect health, in
December, 1852. She is now entirely free from
any vcstigc Of the complaint.
most earnestly recommend it to every person
suffering under any similar disease.

The State Agricultural Society.

In the proceedings Of the first meet.
ing of this Society, held al Fairfield or
the 2s,h ult., we notice that the commit.
tee recommend that place as proper
point for holding the first Fair, in Oc.o.
Der next.
This recommendation we should re.
gard as premature. Without the slight.
est objection to Fairfield, we should i'm
agine that the most proper point 70:
holding the Fair would be that town OF
city which would contribute the larges,
sum towards the erection of convenien,
and substantial buildings for the accom-.
mediation of contributors d spectators.
The Society will not be likely to receive
any aid from the State before the meet.
ing of the next legislature, and all the
funds received for admit lance to the Fair
grounds and for membership will un-
doubleday be needed to pay premiums
and other unavoidable expenses. and if
the various towns in the State are not
allowed to compete for the Fair, we see
but little prospect for that brilliant sue.
cess which should be the fate of Soci-
ETY. held in the mids. Of a quarter Of a
million of tillers of the soil. 49,.
In addition to the contribution of mon
ey for the purpose above limited at, we
think that when town is once chosen
by the Managers of the Society, the Fair
should be held in that place for a. leas,
five years, unless some other town over
Bids it in a sum sufficient to make the
change an object. The experience ac-
quired by those employed in carrying
~ the details Of the Fair, would alone
be forcible reason for this, If others
equally important did not exist.
With these hints thrown out for the
action of the public and the Managers
Of the Society. we would respectfully
urge that our city Council open the ball
by at once bidding sum sufficien. to
carry on, the objects Of the Society, and
that other towns be invited TO do the
same. There is plenty of time before
us for making the choice, bu. begin
ming cannot be made too soon, in mat.
ter which, j. seems to US, is one of great
interest to all the people of our State
