 The following is portion of the report of the Executive Committee of the CONNECTICUT STATE AGRICULTURAL SooIETY, with relation to
 their previous Annual Fair held at Hartford in October, to said Society, at their Annual Meet ing, held at New Haven, January 14th, 1868, and was accepted by the Society In Hor ses the numbers were less than on previous occasions, yet the breeding stock of one single individual. Geo. c. Hitchcock Esq. of New Preston,) which was on exhibition. was sufficient to mark this department as suc- cessful. In short, the Society may we'll be proud of having presented to the world. through one of it's exhibitors, the best show of stock of breeding horses eyer seen in America. The high price and increasing demand for good horses, renders their breeding one of the most profitable branches of agriculture.

 This is to certify that, about eighteen AMBRosIA. My hair was short, thin, and rap idly falling out. I had tried many Hair Tonics, 1nvigorators. &c.,, without receiving any benefit. Soon after using the Ambrosia my hair ceased falling out, and commenced growing so rapidly as to astonish me. Now m hair is thick, soft and glossy. and is five feet and four inches in length when let down reaching to the floor. < This wonderful result attribute solely to the use of STERLINas s AMBRos1A, as since | commenced using it I have applied nothing else to my hair.
 Mrs. l.. A. BROWN,
 No. 439 Broadway, New York. We advise young persons, whose hair is be- ginning to fall out, to take warning in time. and save their hair, by using the Ambrosia. To these who have already lost their hair. the free use of the Ambrosia will surely restore it. as it has done for thousands. 8 { Dr. Sterling's Ambrosia is stimulating oily extract of Roots, Barks and Herbs. It will cure all diseases of the scalp, and itching of the head; entirely eradicates dandruf, pre- vents the hair from falling out, or from turn ing prematurely gray, causing it to grow thick and long. It is entirely different from all other preparations, and can be relied on: It is Q we'll known fact to thousands m the city of New York that this is the only arsicie yet discovered that will cure the Disease pf the Scalp and cause the Hair to grow.
