Liberal arrangements for the transporta-
ton of stock and articles for exhibition have
been made with the Passumpsic, Vermont
Central, Sullivan, Vermont Valley, and Rut-
land Railroads. all of which extend the usual
custom of fare one way to persons attending
the fair. Arrangements are in progress for
similar accommodations on other Vermont
and New Hampshire railroads.
Exhibitors must have their ANIMALS OF ar
tces entered on the Secretary's books on or
before the 10Th day of September. 1t is de-
sirablc that notices of intention to enter stock
should be sent to Henry Clark, Secretary,
Rutland, as early rs September LIST, that
proper arrangements may be made for their
accommodation.
The Society have been fortunate in secur-
ing Hon. Alexander III. Bullock, of Worces-
ter, Ex-Governor of Massachusetts. to deliver
the annual address. He is one of the ablest,
and most intelligent public men of New
England, and II pleasing speaker.
The people of the state, we feel sure, will
avail themselves of this opportunity to visit
the valley of the Passumpsic on this occasion,
and learn its value and Importance in fertile
lands, excellent cattle, horses and sheep-the
thrift of its farmers and its unparalleled man
ufacturing facilities. which make it in some
respects the garden Of the Commonwealth,
as well rs to enjoy its magnificent scenery,
and attend the annual festival of the farmers
of the state.

A GOOD THING.

Professor Collier, Secretary of the State
Board Of Agriculture. &C., has issued blank
return to be filled ont by the secretary of
each agricultural and horticultural society of
the state. 1t embraces all important points
in regard to the financial condition and OPP
eritions of these societies, and WILL if prop
erly filled, put the Board, and through it, the
legislature and the public, in possession of
much valuable information. In other states
financial aid is gwen to such societies from
the state treasury, and we think II prompt
attention on the part of the societies,
through the proper officer, to filling and
returning these blanks may become Il basis
for similar action on the part of our own
legislature. These blanks may be obtained
from Secretary Collier and the returns will
be published in his annual report. We trust
that papers throughout the state, friendly to
the farming interest, will call attention to
this effort on the part Of the Secretary of the
Board to obtain statistics of such great inter-
est and importance.

mower, reaper and, thrasher, would sink in
price for the same reason, which is the same

agriculture, free from artificial disabilities,
is the grand boon of Providence to the labor
ers of this land; and when they strike wisely
for the lettering of their condition, it is these
disabilities that will feel first the edge of the
sword
In a second place, n sound money is essen
tial to the welfare of labor. Daniel Webster
said a good many good things in his lifetime,
but he never uttered a better sentiment or
one more likely to be quoted in the years i'm
mediately before us, than when he said -
"Of all the expedents to cheat the laboring
masses of mankind II deprecated currency is
the most successful 1t is not wages that
men work for. it is what those wages will
buy. 1t is the food the clothing. the shelter
the comforts, the schooling of the children,
and SO on, that constitute the compensation
of labor. As long as any other standard
than gold measures the correct dollar, so
long will wages be illusory in the hands of
those who spend them. They will seem to
have what they do not actually possess. The
most imperative industrial need of this coun-
try mt present is II good money; and this
matter, that concerns all citizens without eX-
ception, is prominently the interest of the
men.

NOTES AND QUERIES.
A Delusive Growth.

Rev. Mr.. Hall of Newport has handed us II
potato of last years crop, from the side of
which two young potatoes protrude, appar-
emily growing from the center of the old tu-
Der. We say apparently, for on dissection it
appears that they are produced from II sprout
growing from IN eye situated ut the bottom
of II deep depression, or funnel-shaped dim
pie, upon the opposite side of the potato.
This sprout, not having an opportunity to
turn itself in its contracted quarters and
grow outwards, but determined to grow some
way, has pushed itself right through the po-
tato, producing in its course the two young
tubers that have, by their growth, burst open
the parent and appeared outwardly us de-
scribed, and smaller one that remained
concealed. Since examining Mr.. Halls po-
tato we have noticed in the Pruirie Farmer
the description of II precisely similar growth
in II potato sent to the editor of that paper
Fruit Growing I'm Iowa.
Chas. I. Vail Esq, late of Irasburgh, who
has located for the practice of law in the
thriving city of Cedar Rapids Iowa, where
the climate us regards fruit growing rescm-
blcs that of northeastern Vermont, writes
us - Many farmers are turning their
attention to fruit raising with good success
There has been prevailing notion that ap-
pies could not be raised here successfully
but it has been abandoned, and the yield of
the best varieties has been large this year

WHERE OUR PROFITS GO.

In IN article upon the labor question the
Springfield Republicam speaks intelligently us
follows -
Farming is not so profitable to those actu-
ally engaged in it us to induce others to re-
sort to it. In the first place, the tariff taxes
on the farmers implements, on his lumber,
transportation, eat up "a large portion of his
profits. The cost of transporting II bushel of
wheat to the seaboard comes out of the price
of the wheat. The cost of sheltering and
sailing q flock of sheep comes out of the price
OF the fleece. Farm products pay the bulk of
the duties on iron and steel. Now let all
taxes, which realize comparatively little to
the treasury, but enhance greatly the ex-
penses OF agriculture. be removed and farm
ing becomes profitable ut once. The western
wheat reaches the seaboard Mt about half the
present frcights; and would soon find, too,
Tor the same reason what it cannot find from
Maine to Mexico. i'm American ocean steam

AT ST. JOHNsBURY.

We had II very pleasant meeting with the
st Johnsbury Grange of Patrons of Husband
ry, on Saturday last. Many ladies We're in
attendance, flowers and fruit were upon the
tables IA real interest in agricultural union
and progress was evident, and everything
bids fair for the success and usefulness of this
successor and heir of the old Farmers Club.
We understand that this new society of the
" Patrons" its probable usefulness and
adaptation to the wants of Vermont farmers,
will form subject of discussion on the first
evening of the Orleans County Fair ut Barton
next month.

ENGLISH FEMALE BITTERS.

The only acknowledged Uterine Tonic and
Female Regulator known, will cure all
those complaints above mentioned in an in
credibly short time. The Bitters at once
arouses, strengthens and restores the womb
to its natural condition, removing Obstruc
tions, relieving pain and regulating the
monthly period Wonder stands pale,
feeble and languid girl, just bursting into
womanhoOd; she Is the pride of all, but
bark she silently steals pickle, eats
chalk, or a slate pencil; no appetite for
food she turns with dull eye and seeks
solitude; her eye no longer sparkles; her
merry laugh is no longer heard ringing
through the air; she mopes about with
bloodless lIs and gums, with headache,
pal pitation, constipation, Swimming of the
head, cold feet and hands, melancholy; she
has a coated tongue, offensive BREATH and a
host of other evils too numerous to mention.
When neglected all these symptoms be-
come aggravated there is sick stomach,
heartburn, a dark line settles under the
eyes, the legs and ankles are swollen, the
hair loses its gloss and falls off, there Is
brittleness splitting of the fnger-naiis, swol-
len abdomen, extreme nervousness, fretful-
ness, pains and aches, dry cough, Hysterical
Fits rapid prostrat;on, epilepsy and death !
If you, or any of your friends, are thus
afflicted, send at Cnce for Il Bottle of Eng
lish Female Bitters and be cured Its effects
are magical in such complaints. Surely no
mother will postpone and delay this duty

FEMALE COMPLAINT,

That claims its victims throughout the
length and breadth of our land
Many females suffer in some way at each
monthly period; some girls are in great
peril at the commencement Of menstruation,
while older ones dread It's decline at the
turn of life" Sometimes the menstrual
flow is too much, or too little, or may be
attended with pain may be irregular or en-
tirely checked, or changed in appearance,
attended with other distressing symptoms
Leucorrhma, or the "WhItes," frequently
drains the system, or liberation ofth womb
may create pain and cause rapid prostration
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly
common complaint, giving much trouble
and distress, which, under ordinary treat
ment is difficult to cure.
Mysteries. Green Sickness, Irritability of
the Womb, and other serious and fatal com
plants follow the female sex throughout
life. Lives there a medical gentleman who
has or can relieve the fair sex of the above
troubles? Not many. Is there no com
bination of remedial agents that will come
to her rescue We answer, Yes.

largely into the composition of English Fee
male Bitters, combined with powerful vege-
table tonics of rare qualities
Among the mountains OF Tennessee and
the piney woods of Mississippi, is found a
certain hard anu finty root, which has been
in secret use by some old midwives for
many years, possessing magic powers in
regulating and restoring all females suffer-
ing with any affection of the womb. This
root we have obtained, gave it a fair test in
our practice and it is now one of the prin
ciplc ingredients in these Bitters. Other
powerful uterine aud general tonics also
enter into its composition. We also add
Leptandra or Black root, sufficient to act
upon the liver and keep the bowels open.
