! PROCEEDS OF THE FAIR,-Much in
terest is felt to know the proceeds Of the
Sanitary Fair last week. The accounts
! have not all been Strengthened up as
vet. but it is estimated that the amount
which the committee Of arrangements
will he able TO pay over to the Christian
Commission will be about $4,000
! FAIRBANKS SCALEs.-It is with some
| business firms as it is with some indiviC.
uals, that they stand alone in the de-
partment of trade to which they direct
their attention. It becomes a speciality
with them, and by making it such, they
carry ittothe highest Perfection Of which
| it is capable. This is the case with the
Messrs Fairbanks, the celebrated Scale
Makers. They have devoted themselves
so entirely, and with such thorough
science and skill to the manufacture of
! Weighing instruments, that they seem
! to have left nothing to be done by others.

and Influenza, they are entirely effica-
cious, removing all distractions, and in
creasing at once the power and fiexibili-
of the voice.
