PANIC SUBSIDING.

The New York Tribune of the 2S,h,
says: 1.-The panic in uncurren; money
has nearly subsidized, and il there are no
more failures-and zone are expected
it will be all over in a day or two. The
brokers are returning to the old rates aud
the public is recovering from its fright
The failures, SO far. have been confined
to illegilimates. No regular Bank having
a paid up capital and doing q bona fide
banking business, has failed, and the
general banking interest of The country
is IN a sound and healthy condition.
There has been too great an expansion.
particularly at the West, and too many
Banks have been started where the only
profit looked for was in the issue of cur.
rency. A check is needed occasionally
to keep the progressive portion Of our
modern bankers within proper bounds.
No Slate Stocks Of any amour. have
been returned here for sale, though some
Of the INDIANA Banks, are talking OF
reducing their circulation. Sales have
been rade tins week of Virginia. Mis-.
souri, and Tennessee Skies, al lO2 10

York Stocks are lower, ard there are
more in the market than we have noticed

The grapes were If the Isabella variety.

were Of the free stone variety and unu-

Testimony Of q Physician.

Extract of a letter dated Pittsburgh, January
18th, 1852: 81 viii say that your Mustang Lin
iment is about the best Liniment 1 ever used. l
have used it in my own case, along the lower
part OF the spine, for spinal irritation, with
complete relief. l used it a few nights ago,
when was perfectly crooked, and my back in
complete torture, from what the books would
call Opisthotonic condition of the muscles;
which you know is about as bad as 0lock-jaw."
1t gave immediate relief, and in the morning I
could bend like a gutta percha man, and with
as little pain. The medical profession, you
know, have a great aversion to these kinds Of
remedies, but from a knowledge of the ingre-
dents of the Mustang Liniment, | would have
no hesitation in recommending it, wherever a
remedy to relieve pain is indicated. / have rec
commended it in a number of cases in my own
practice, and as far as l can learn it has acted
with equal celebrity and certainty as in my own
case. Hoping that it may be used for and
DRIVE AWAY pain, wherever it exists, and thai
it may remunerate you well fof your exertions
for bringing so valuable a remedy before the
public, l subscribe myself, Truly yours, =

The State Agricultural Fair.

We some time since published a Lis
of the Premiums offered by the State
Agricultural Society, TO be awarded a
the State Fair to be held at Fairfield
commencing on Wednesday the 25sh oI
October, and thought a. the time tha'
the list was liberal and such an one as
would induce the Farmers, Mechanics
and Ladies Of the State TO take a deep
interest in the matter.
But this list of premiums is not all
The intefa,igable Pres:den, of the So
Getty has added another noble premium
from his own purse. for the benefit of the
ladies, viz:
"To the most bold and graceful re
male equestrian, who will appear on the
ground and contest for the prize | will
award a fine gold match."
This exhibition will come of in the
afternoon of the second day Of the Fair.
Mr.. Claggett, in writing 10 the Secreta.
ry, further adds, 81 shall have the servi-
ces of a distinguished stranger to deliver
Tie address, of whom | shall advise The
public coon. The work goes bravely
on"
The premium offered by Mr.. Clag.
geit, will bring the ladies' ou. in their
strength, and add much TO the in;eres. Of
the occasion. and induce a hearty co op-
Grafton on the Fart Of the fair sex
which is indispensable TO the success Of
any measure of importance.
W. hope the Farmers and Mechanics
of Wapello will take an interest in the
State FAIR propor,ionate to the position
which they occupy as tillers Of the soil,
stock ~raisers and promoters Of agricul-
iure and the mechanic ar,s--and if they
will but do this, We are confident no
county in Iowa will carry off more pre-
miums than she will.
1t only requires one dollar 10 consti-
tute any person a member Of the Socie-
~, and every farmer and mechanic in
the county should cheerfully contribute
this small sum for the promotion Of an
interest go great as is at stake in the
frs, State Agricultural Fair of Iowa.
Persons wishing TO become members
can hand, or for " their fee to ID. p.

GREAT DEMAND.

There seems to be a universal demand in our
city for J. L. Curtis Compound Syrup of Sassa-
.fras. This article has been tried and used with
the most powerful effect, in the very worst ca
ses Of measles, coughs, colds, hoarseness, con-
sumption, whoopingcong and all diseases of
the lungs of long standing, and is now the most
popular and beneficial medicine used for all
these diseases for which it is so highly recon-
mended.
J. L.. Curtis Original Mamaluke is now ac-
knowledged by all persons Of experience as
the best stimulant ever used for the cure Of all
these diseases for which it is so highly recoR-
mended, and in which it has been so successful-
~ used. It stands unparalleled by any medi-
cine ever offered to the public. A fresh sup
ply of these medicines has just been received
by the agents. Those persons who are not
supplied had better call on some agent and sup
ply Their families. Take none unless signed by

FINE SPEcIMkT OF CoRN.-AARoN
HARLAN left in our office, las, week,
some very fine and curious specimens Of
corn. Among the specimens were 3
stocks from one grain, and 6 ears on
them, all the ears Of large and full
growth; also two stocks from l grain,
anG 2 large ears. Among the variety
some oil the ears and stems measured 4feet,
though the corn was not lengthy in pro-
portion. but of large size. The larges, ear
in circumference measured 8 inches, and
in length III inches. Who can bea. il!

THE

Seems 10 be The great exciting topic
of conversation at this time; and the
query with every one is: "What is 60
ing 10 be done? Why don't the Direc.
tors sci some one 10 work on this end OF
the road" &C., &c. Well, these are
important enquiries, and we hope they
will be answered satisfactorily.
From some some cause, things have
rather got .'down al the heel'' on this
end OF The route, but we can see no good
reason why it should be SO. The Di-
rectors assure us that as soon as the
stockholders of this county will pay up
a sufficient amount Of stock to show a
disposition on their part to push the
work ahead, they will set the contrac'
tors a, work here, who they inform us
are now waiting to put their hands on
the road.
The matter, then, lies entirely with
the stockholders, and they are response.
Die for the further progress. or the sus'
pension of the work. 1t seems TO
Us tina. the best policy the stockholders
of this county can pursue is TO pay up
the ins,alments OF stock as fast as called
for. and thus keep the work moving.
On the lower end af the route, be-
tween Burlington and Mt. Pleasant. the
road is fast approaching a state of COM
ple,ion so far as the grading is concern
ed, and a large amount OF the ties are
on the ground, ready 10 be laid as soon
as the grading can be finished. This
is an example for US, and shows plainly
what little exer,ion will do. The stock.
holders on tina, end of the road pay as
fast as the ins,allmen.s are called for,
and have never let the work stop.
Now. fellow. citizens, if we want the
road,-and no n will say we do no.
want tive should do likewise, and
keep the ball rolling.
Messrs. Williams and Jnskeep, the
Directors for Jefferson and Wapello,
have been engaged here in securing the
depo, grounds and the right Of way.
for the last few days, and assure us that
they are succeeding we'll. All that is
needed, they assure US 10 keep the work
moving is for Subscribers TO pay their
stock-not q dollar OF which, they
pledge their words, shall be spent out OF
our county. So, fellow.citizens, you
can see where the fault lies that the work
does no, 60 on--and can remove it if
you desire TO do SO. Will you not do
III Don'tle lie. Wapello be behind ia this
respect. She was the first TO make up
her quota OF stock--took the largest a.
noun Of any county on the road, ex-
cep, nemoine-and we hope will not be
the las. to have her part Of the road rea-
dy for the iron.
