AGRICULTURAL FAIR AT WHEELING
We have been sent the show bill of the
Agricultural Fair, to be held at Wheeling
on the 18Th, 18th and 18th days of
September next. Il is fine specimen
of printing from the Intelligcncer Office.
We learn that preparations are beingmade
on an extensive scale. and that this exhi-
bition will probably be the greatest ever
seen in this part Of the country. We
would advise our farmers, one and all, to
attend this Fair. Agricultural pursuits
are becoming every day more important
aud profitable, and every Improvement
learned is SO much more money made !;
and it is our opinion that no former
can attend a well-conducted Agricultural
Fair without being vastly benefited in in
formation.

"a lady friend Of ours. in making some
call upon the fashionable millinery estab-
lshments in Broadway, was politely In
yited into a back room. where She was in
vited to take glass Of wine. We did not
ask whether she refused or not. but she
informed US that the department seemed
devoted exclusively to the purpose oftrea-
ting their customers. Thisis another step
in the march of civilization. We poor
male bipeds will have to keep sharp
look out for our wives and daughters,
less they be induced, while in state Of
semi.intoxication, to spend more money in
inery than the law allows. Tipping is
getting to be fashionable vice among the
ladies, and there are already seyeralsplen-
did saloons in Broadway, which they
visit exclusively for the purpose, unat-
tended by their lords.

EASY WAY TO COMPUTE INrEREsr.-In
Baltimore paper correspondent gives
the following plan for computing interes
at per cent for any number of days.
Divide the number of day by six, null
tiply the dollars by the dividend, the result
is the interest in dccimals cut off the
right hand figure and you have it in dol
lars and cents-thus.
What is the interest of 500 for twenty
one days 81 divided by is 81 100
multiplied by 81 is $50 or 35 cents.
Again what is the interest on 1878 for
ninety-three days? SO divided by 6 is
I54 !; 378 multiplied by 15t is $3.50 or
$685. and $40.

A YANKEE F1GnrING ON HIS Own Hook.
There is. at Gallipoli, young man
from New York, in the Turkish army.
who excites good deal of attention. He
fights entirely on his own hook, is always
seen in the thickeSt Of the melee. and is
as brave as lion. But. advancing or re-
treating, he always has peculiar tramp
-tramp-tramp-from which he never
varies, whatever may be the style Of
march around and he has often been
seen, in the very hottest of the fight, to
deliberately stop. tighten his cravat, take
off his hat and arrange his hair, whichis
very beautiful, and then go TO work again
against the Russians. One OF my friends
who has just come from Gallipoli was tel.
ling me aboutit yesterday. He says the
Turks are very enthusiastic about him
His inefabIe GOODNESS is, in their eyes, a
species Of courage which they consider to
proceed from Che consciousness of q
charmed life, which death cannot touch.

CURE FOR D1ARRHGA.-Take handful

pint OF boiling water let it remain one

get boiling water. chew and swallow the
leaves. This is most valuable and eff

date relief and perform a permanent cure.
