We learn tha1 on the southern plantations. well as in the new settlements of the West, Holoway's balsamic Oint. ment is relied upon as a sovereign remedy for the bruises cuts sprains and other external iniuries s frequently occurring in farming operations. It is also indorsed by our agricultural population as sn immediate cure for rheumatic sweings, boils. ul. sore leg and all the diseases of the skin gisns and tendons to which exposure to the elemcnis sc. cident, and an qndue proportion of salt food render the farm aborer especially lable The Pills have an equal celebrity, as an adjunct of the Ointment anS as a remedy for all internal ailments.

Gg7 We are pleased to learn that some of the good citizens of Waterbury are contemplating movement for the suppression of the illegal liquor traffic in that thriving, yet rum-curssd city. We hope the effort will be made, and that it will prove successful But we assure our friends there that if they do not com mence the suppression at the No. hotels they can never stop it at the low grogeries. When some tenn perance men there tcitly consented some years ago to the keeping of bar at the Scovil House for the accommodation of gentlemen drinkers, they gave
 license to all the less respectable drunkard factories Be snre therefore, you commence arght, if you ex- pect to succeed in stopping the internal traffic.

eg| The Democracy of New York held their no- minating Convention at Syracuse on Wednesday last, and had very stormy session resulting in the exclusion of Fernando Wood from the party, and the admission of Daniel $. Dickinson and his friends into full communion with the 'softs." A ticket for State Officers was nominated and dele gates appointed to the Charleston Convention, who are supposed to be favorable to the nomination of Douglas for the Presidency. In case Douglas cannot be nominated it is unde they will vote for Dickinson until opportunity offers for them to make telling throw for the competitor whose nomination may be sucured by their votes.
 We regret that MT. Dickinson has abandoned his independent position, and shaken hands with the treachcrous cliques whom he has heretofore denoun ced as the basest of politicians. For him, we have long entertained most favorable sentiments, and would rather see him President of the United States than any man of the Democratic faith. We do not believe his chances for nomination are at all strengthened by his new alliance.

g@Thc Waterbury American says, that at the meeting of the Railroad Commissioners to consider the subject of the detention at the Straford Juno tion it proposed to remedy the detcntons of the afternoon connections, by providing that the train which now leaves Springfield at p m., Hartford at 305 p. m. and New Haven at half past 4, should leave hour later, which would enable the Nauga- tuck Company to start their afternoon train half hour later from Wnsted and thus prevent the after naon detention at the Junction. This would cer- tainly be an improvement SO far as passengers to New Haven are con cerned but it would break the connection with the Hartford and Providence road, and deliver passengers in NewYork at a later hour in the evening. For the convenience of the people above Waterbury, therefore, the change would be of doubtful cxpediency.

 and Fair of this Society, at Falls Village, came of on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week We had intended to be present, and ftom our own observations to have given full account of this, their first exhibition but circumstances prevented and we gean our notice from the Republican and other sources The eighteen acres of ground occu- pied by the society, were we'll covered with people and carrag and the number of persons present is estimated as high as ten thousand! Of the entries there were over one hundred lots of vegetables; bout one hundred lots of butter and cheese fifty lots of bread over two hundred of fruit fifty of mechanical productic ns over one hundred of oxen yokcd one hundred COWS and heifers; twenty five bulls; two hundred sheep; one hundred matched and single horses one hundred mares and colts j; one hundred of blood stock swine and poultry in proportion and miscellaneous articles without num- bcr.
 In the Ladies department there were Flowers, Do mestic Manufactures, Paintings, and Embroidery, in great profusion rendering this part of the exhibition very attractive
 The exhibition of cattle was good, though not as numerous as we should have anticipated from the rich agricultural towns in the neghborhood Of these Salisbury furnished the most The number and quality of sheep was highly crcditable- The exhibition of horses good, though no very FAST ones are noted.
 MT. Secretary Maltbie is very jnbilant over the Fair and we have no doubt he is entitled to a large share of the credit of its complete success That the society may continue and prosper, and be the means of awakening an increased interest in all the indus trial pursuits of the northwest towns of the county is not only the desire of its members, but of it's friends every where.

The rapid prog
