STATE FAIR.-We are pleased to learn
rom various sources the great interest taken
by our people in the approaching State
Fair. A great many leading citizens in all
sections have accepted the appointment of
Judges in the competition for premiums,
and those who decline on account of the
Simultaneous happening of the Terms of
the Superior Court in their counties, ex.
press the lveliest interest in the success of
the Agricultural Society. We commend the
foresight and economy of fifteen citizens of
Salem who have already written to DR..
Smith, the Corresponding Secretary, to pro-
cure for them good shelter. it being their
intention to bring their lodging and pro
visions and board themselves. It is neci-
less to say that the DR.. has accommodated
them.
The exhibition of articles will be good
We are gratiied to hear that Edgecombe
will compete with Mecklenburg with a
bale of cotton and we hope some of our
Wake friends will not decline the challenge.
The Fair will begin on the 10th October.

Execution of Whnlen.

OTTAWA. February 11.-This morning
opened dull. accompanied with drlz
zling snow. The country people began
to arrive at an early hour, and set about
securing good positions to see the scat
ford and to hear the last words OF
Whalen. Up to 9 o'clock there were
about 800 people on the east side OF the
jail, and by 1880 the crowd had increased
to 1000 or 5000, but all was quiet and or
derby. at 10 o'clock the prison physi-
clan reported Whalen in good nerve and
that no agitation or furry was notice
able in him. 4 short time after the
Sheriff announced everything in readi-
ness for the execution.
At IL O'Clock Whalen was pinioned
and accompanied by the sheriff and
three priests led from the prison look
ing very pale and excited, but he moved
along with firm step and mounted
the stairway to the scatfold, responding
distinctly, as he walked, to the prayers
of the priests. After the paternoster
had been repeated he said: 81 beg
pardon for any offence | may have COM
mitted. l forgive all parties who have
injured me. ask forgiveness from any
one / may have injured. God save Ire
land, and God save my soul"
The cxecutioner then fitted on a
white cap and drew it over his face,
adjusted the rope, and in few moments
the drop fell and Whalen hung by the
neck for four minutes, suffering intense
ly, and then breathed no more.
1t is rumored that Whalen left n
written paper IN custody of the Sheriff,
the purport of which has not yet been
made public.

NASAL CATARRH
AND ITS EFFECT UPON
THE SYSTEM.

Z catarrb consists of Inflammation beginning
hshind and little above the veil OF the palate,
and extending upward into the nose and air
cavities of the face. 1t creates perpetual ue-
sire TO swallow and causes feeling as II some.
thing was sticking in the upper ana PACK part
of the throat. As the disease becomes chronic
the matter cOncretes into hardened Jumps, the
matter secreted becomes puriform, the breath
Is offensive and thevOice assumes nasal wang
while on rising in the morning, great euort Is
required to clear the head and throat. There is
often a feeling of pressure across the lower part
of the forehead, causing headache, dizziness
and confusion of thought and loss OF memory.
The sense Of smell becomes impaired, the
ewes are weak, and, as the Inflammation extends
up the eustaceian tubes into the internal ear
there Is partial deafness, with throbOlng, hum
ming or ringing noise in the ear. In sleep, the
Catarrhal matter is unconsciously swallowed,
which in tine deranges the stomach and i'm.
pairs digestion, causing dyspepsia and multi
plicity of dscOrdant symptoms, which are often
mistaken for other diseases. To the foregoing,
add the fact that every breath of air drawn into
the lungs is drawn over this diseased surface,
fostering with Catarrhal matter, and who can
deny the assertion that to neglect Catarrh Is to
inrite Consumption.
Consumption is the one prevailing disease, a.
the present day, with which the young and
middle aged die. And yet very seldom do the
lungs receive the primary shock. 1t 10 hrst "A
cold in the head" which resolves into chrome
Catarrh, from which the subject ieels no alarm,
until step by step, it reaches the lungs, Wien Wien
ali attempts Mt cure are little better than blind
experiments. ,. .,l ,,so
With every incentive to enjoyment ana use
fulness, there arc hundreds all around US uSlns
in the morning of life, of Consumption, VINO can
look back six months, year, or longer, as the
case may BE- to a time when it was nothing bHt
cGtqrrhh Neglected at time when lpr9peTy
treated a cure was possible, silently and almost
imperceptibly il has transformed the bright,
ruddy features of youth into the dull, wan list
lessness of premature age as it has drank up
the vitality from the blood and fluids of the
wasted frame, and now, when hope is dead and
the life forces one by one are ebbing away, the
mind turns mournfully backward to what
might have BEEN" and tremblingly forward to
what soon must be.
