Close of the New England Fair.

We lay before our readers to-day the last of
series offull and accurate reports of the great
festival that during the present week has made
our city the scene of the greatest activity and
enjoyment. The full list of premiums, which
we give elsewhere, shows who has received the
substantial and tangible reminders of the occa-
sion. The Fair has been success in every
respect. The weather has been, not to state it
too strongly, passable, the attendance has been
all that the most sanguine expected the exhi-
bition of the agricultural and industrial pro-
ducts of New England has been most crafty
ing, and "the best of feeling has prevailed -
The little episode of Wednesday, in the shape
of full size hurricane that created some con-
fusion at the grounds, is the only thing that
has seriously married the enjoyment of the, oc-
casion. Portland has disclosed capabilities for
receiving and entertaining large bodies of peo-
pie that are creditable to the Forest City, and
we do not believe that henceforth the State
Society will think of holding their Fair any
where else.
The success of the festival this week is due
in large measure to the vigorous and rnre-
hitting efforts of DR.. Loring, President and
Col Needham, Secretary of the New England
Society, and Hon. Seth Scammon, President
S. L. Boardman, Secretary, and VIM. e. Nor
ris, Treasurer, of the New England Society,"
Mr.. WATSON, Superintendent of Halls, Capt.
Knight and Mr.. Gosse of the argus, press COM
mittee, ought not to be omitted in our COM
mendations.

Painless Digestion.

"No man." says Sir Ashley Cooper, Sought to
know by his sensations that he has stomach"
In other words when digestion is perfect there 10
neither pain nor uneasiness in the region where
it takes place. Nausea, want Of appetite, fatu-
lency oppression after eating, shooting pains in
the epigastrium, a flushing of the face at meal
times, and a iu-red tongue in the morning, are
among the direct symptoms of indigestion. Con-
stipation, biliousness, headache, nervous irriia-
bi ity, physical weakness, and low spirits, are Its
almost invarable accompanments. All these IN
dcations OF DysPt PsIA, whether immediate CT
secondary, usually aggravated by hot weather.
The close OF summer is therefore the season when
the victim of dyspepsia most urgently needs a
tonic and regulating medicine. OF course, every
invalid has many advisers. One friend recon-
mends one drug, another another; but in multi
tude OF coupsellors there Is not always safety.
The STANDARD REMEDY OF THE PREsENTAG FOR
INDIG EsTION, in all its stages, is HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BlTTERS. Time, that proves all
things, has established its reputation ON an i'm
pregnable foundation the spontaneous testimo-
ny Of millions of Intelligent witnesses. No acrid
oil or acid defiles its stimulating principle; its
tonic constituents the finest that botanical re-
search has yet discovered; il combines the pro-
perties OF gentle eyaeuent, blood depurent, and
an anti bilious medicine, with invgorating qual-
ties of the highes order and is admitted both by
the public aud the profession to be the surest pro-
lection against all diseases that are produced or
propagated by pestife air unwhoesome
WATER that has ever been used either in the Uuited
States or Tropical America.
In cases of constipation resulting from a want
OF muscular tone in the ntestnes, the effect of the
BITTERS is perfectly marvellous; and without
the dangerous sequences OF mercury it restores the
0isordered liver to o normal condition.

AnerTne Fair-The Election,

The Fair came most iaopportunely just in
time to eclipse the election, and many per-
sons will have to be reminded that it takes
place Monday, and that there will be no post
ponement on account of the fatigue of voters
or on account of the weather. Only two Sec
ular days before the trial must come between
the Republicans and temperance men, on the
one side, and the Democrats and Hichbon
men, on the other. Let us attend to this mat
ter with the same zeal that we have exhibited
in reference to the Fair. The prospect is en-
couraging and with half the labor expended
last year the Republican majority would not
be reduced on light vote

The sIauderers siIeuced.

The contempt which the slanderers of some
OF our Republican candidates for Senator
brought upon themselves, and the exposure of
their falsehoods have caused sudden cessa-

nents OF the regular nominees must now re-
sort to legitimate methods of warfare. This
being the case no one can fear for the result.
When men have been slandered and the fact
is known to the public there is always reac-
tlon In their favor. But even without this
accidental advantage they are strong enough
