The Premium l. ist Of the lnar risOp
County Fair,

A large portion Of TO days Sentinel is occu-
pied with the list Of Premiums awarded at the
the late Fair Of the Harrison County Agricul-
tural Society. We will venture to make this
assertion, which We believe to be strictly true,
and that is--there is not a County Fair in the
United States that awards Premiums on as ma
ny different articles as is awarded by the llar-
rison County Fair. We have this fall exam
ined the Premium lists of nearly every County
Fair in Ohie, and large number in other
States, and we have not seen one that is more
two-thirds as large as the Premium list OF the
Harrison County Fair published in to-days Sen
tinel. -eH
We have always had successful fairs in Har
rison County; and we believe the main reason
why we have them, is the manner in which
the awards Of Premiums are published in the
papers Of the County. They are noticed by the
public, and when the time for the next exhibi
ton comes round, the natural and usual remark
of all who are in reach OF our county is--"the
Harrison County Fair, is the Fair to 60 to-
look a. their published lists OF premiums il

stand that it has also been manufactured by

erReader, peruse the following statemen

t~Reader, peruse the following statement
and then judge ofits facts for yourself
Abram Cole, of Brooklyn, N. Y, we'll
known citizen there, had suffered from Dyspep-
sia for some years. without permanent relief
until he tried Ayers Pills, which taken ac-
cording to the directions for this complaint
restored him to health in few weeks. After
an interval of some months he has had no re-
turn of his complaint.
Geo. w. Cross, of Harmony, Texas had an
eruption on his neck, shoulders, back and legs
which covered about one third Of his body. 1t
kept the parts affected covered with scab and
being often a raw sore, was Of course very
troublesome and distressing. 1t so much i'm.
paired his health as to unfit him for business
and kept him in constant suffering. All medi-
cal aid failed him until he took Ayers Comp.
Ext Sarsaparilla, which cured him. His skin
still shows some scars from liberation, but it is
otherwise as clear as an infants.
John H. Shook, Fsq.,an eminent Lawyer OF
Richmond, Va, took cold which settled on
his lungs A severe pain set in on the left
side, with bad cough, which was soon follow
ed by the unmistakable symptoms of consump-
ton. When reduced very low he commenced
taking Ayers Cherry Pectoral, which soon
stopped the cough and completely cured him.

SHoRTcRE Elk, Oct. ~, go.
Mr.. ALLEN. The Natural Bridge over &C.
dar Creek, in Virginia, is curiosity. 1t is a.
bout forty miles from James River. Little ca
npl boats land passengers just below the mouth
of the Creek where hack meets them to con-
vey them to the Bridge. When the traveller
gets within about mile Of the mighty struc-
ture, if he will turn his eye to the left he will
see stupendous cavern, the mouth of which
resembles goose egg with the large end up
That is the space enclosed by the wall of this
unequeled arch You soon lose sight OF it and
if your thoughts run on other things you might
pass from hill to hill without knowing that
fat rock was all that kept you from headlong
pitch of three hundred feet. The road is a.
bout in the centre of the rock; ages have heap
ed upon it some material for shrubbery to as'
ten roots in, and trees twenty feet high on each
side guard you safely over the mighty schasm.
Now reader, imagine yourself standin ing on
the bank ola creek about large enough to run
saw mill pretty lively, near half mile above
the Bridge, with hills very high on Your right
and left. Come aloug down, there is room on
one side or the other TO walk; the hills on each
side get sleeper and sleeper When you get
within hundred yards Of the Bridge, lheii
sides are perpendicular, and as matter o.
course, are composed of stone.
Come ahead and you will see the hil-tops
Il Lonl ;I,ni nd a mighty lime
stone Yields them stationary there. 1t is forty
ieet through and sixty wide and will defy the
crumblng effect of time for many ages yet te
come. little winding foot path from neal
the bridge will lead you to the creek hundred
yards below.
Come along up the bank of the creek unit
you get exactly under the centre of the might,
limestone arch; turn your eye upward and yor
can see the eagle with his claws fastened in th'
hons name painted plainly on the limestone
their size corresponds with the struc ture; th'
is at point that human hands have never reach
ed, and never will without great deal Of prep
aration.
Now walk thirty yards higher up the creek
and take general observation, and see the
huge masses of limestones three hundrod feet
high, that look as if they were about to loos'
their foot hold and coms tumbling down.l-
+ Then SCI the tops Of two nightly hills cement
ed together by great limestone and it won
take you long to come to the conclusion tina
YOU are surrounded BY magnifcence and sub
Unity, second only to the mighty splurge
waters that forms the line between the Eagl'
and the Lion. ..,.
There are very few men with nerve enough
while standing on the bridge to walk to the
edge and look steaight do,on though it is leve
and he has plenty of saplings to hold to-.
Thy friend,
MIcAJAH T. JOHNSON.
