Scrofula, or Kings Evil,


is constitutional disease, corruption of the
blood by which this fluid becomes vitiated
weak. and poor Being in the circulation, it
pcrvad,s the whole body, and may burst out
IN disease on any part Of it. No organ is free
from its attacks nor is there one which it may
Iut DESTROY. The scroluloUs faint is variously
caused by mcrcurial disease, low living dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
aid filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the veneroGl infection. What
ever &c its origin, it is hereditary i'll the con-
sttution, descending from parents TO children
unto the third and fourth generation; indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says, -
will visit the iniquities OF the fathers upon
their children"
It's effects commence by deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulccrous matter, which, IN
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swcllingS; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders III the blood, depresses
the energies Of life, that scrofulous constltu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous COM
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently, vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most or the cOnSamplon "llch ue-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
lection, and their health is undermined by it.
To cleanse it from the system We must rcnovate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, and in
yigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such q medicine we supply in

Hon. JESSE G. SHEPHERD-We are glad to learn

this article, has consented 10 let his name be-

Courts of North Carolina. Judge Shepherd is now
riding the first judicial circuit under the appoint

appointment longer than the meeting Of the Legsla

friends in the Legislature show their approval Of Gov
Braggs appointment by his election to till the vacsn.
cy occasioned by the resignation of Judge Person.
Judge Shepherd has always been a hard student,
he is an able lawyer and will reflect credit the
bench. His associates at the bar in the counties
where he practised will regret to part with him.
Courteous and respectful to all with whom he came
in contact, he enjoys the confidence and respect of
all parties. He will carry with him to the bench

National Agricultural Exhibition at Richmond.
The inaugural ceremony Of the sixth exhibition Of
the United States and Virginia Central Agricultural
Society took place formelly Tuesday last the
Richmond Fair Grounds amid large concourse of
citizens. Gen. T. Tilghman, of Maryland,
introduced by James Lyons, Esq, of Richmond, and
proceeded to deliver eloquent and impressive in.
augural address. Gov. Wise, Ex.Presdent Tyler,
Caleb Gushing, and many other distinguished per-
sons were present. ...
The Enquirer gives full accounts of the Fair and
seems to be pleased with the display which is made,
but the South pronounces it ''at, iamentable and
unmitigated failure" The exhibition of stock and
machinery, says that paper, is inferior to any pre-
vously made in that City. Melancholy looking
people wander about the desoate grounds, with
faces which indicate any thing but approbaton."-
The South objects to the charge Of fifty cents an
admittance fee. and to the tax Of ten per cent.
levied upon competitors for prizes, and adds
"The National Fair has attempted to super rcede
the Virginia State Society, and the result will be
the utter discontinue of the former The old story
of the brass kettle and the earthen jar has an apt
illustration in the contest and cannot regret that
the present enterprise has proved abortive.
The great end of agricultural associations in Vir-
ginia should be to FOSTER develop, and enlarge her
own farming interests When these great OBJECTS
set aside for the purpose of sordid gain and
porate aggrandizement rejoice at the failure
We have no sympathy with speculations such as
this seems; We have no desire to a new system
inaugurated in our good old Commonwealth; We
desire-and in this we feel assured that give ut.
terance to the general sentiment-we desire 10 see
all unnecessary restrictions removed from such ex.
hibitions, and emphatcally protest against the new
and monstrous system Of taxation introduced by the
National Fair. This duty of ten per cent levied up
on competitors for prizes. degenerates the manly
competition to which the Virginia farmer is accus-
toned into the miserable excitement Of rattle, and
aft onts the exhibitor with unjust impost
The whole affair is foreign to tastes; it is
congenial to our habits Of thought people {;
utterly at with all our preconceved views and
opinions The management Of the affair is alien to
the soil of Virgnis. The National Fair is an exotic
which bears fruit distastfu to people, and the
consequence is already seen in the blight which has
fallen upon it."
