The State Fair.


We announced in special despatch last
week that the Trustees of the Maine State
Agricultural Society had determined to To-
cate the fair and show of the Society in Ban.
year will be holden on the 18th, 18th, 10th
and Goth of September. Mr.. S. L. Board
man Of the Maine Farmer, is Secretary Of the
State Society, and makes some suggestions
in his paper in relation to the forthcoming
exhibition. The citizens of Bangor and the
city council have by appropriation, private
subscription and guaranty, placed a sum in
the hands of the Trustees, so ample as to in
sure the success of the exhibition in advance,
and with favorable weather the results can
not fail to be satisfactory. At the last show
held in Bangor in 1857, (the third exhi-
bition Of the Society," the show of horses
was superior to any the Society had then
called together. Since that period, Bangor
has been placed in railroad communication
with other parts Of the State, so that much
larger number of those interested can avail
themselves of its privileges than vas possible
at that time. The European North Ameri-
can, the Bangor Piscataquis, the Dexter &
Newport and the Belfast Division of the
Maine Central railroads have all been COM
pleted since that date, and are now in opera
ton, affordng so many avenues to bring dis
tant portions of the State in easy and rapid
communication with Bangor, thus securing
not only larger attendance, but an increased
| interest in the coming exhibition. The art
of agriculture has also made rapid advances
! during the same period, within the radius of
| that section likely to be most largely repre-
| scented at the fair of 1872. Aroostook county
has been developed to a wonderful extent,
and her sturdy farmers will come down in
great numbers to this fair, bringing with them
the choisest of their animals and the best of
their productions. The breeding of fine
horses and neat cattle has also received much
| attention from some of the leading men of
| eastern Maine; and the State College of Ag-
ricul,ure and the Mechanic Arts-in 1857 a
| thing unthousht of-has been located so near
Bangor, that no enterprising farmer or farm
er's son should fail to pay it visit during the
week of the exhibition.
| The outdoor exhibition will be held on
the Penobscot fair grounds, the City and No
| rombega Halls having been placed at the dis
posal of the Trustees for the in door depart
ments Of the exhibition. Various commit
tees of the Trustees have been appointed to
arrange excursion tickets with the railroads
and boats during the week of the fair, and for
and meeting to complete this work has been
called for May 7th The premium list will
be given to the public Immediately after that
| meeting.

Amongst the symptoms of consumption
which present themselves as the disease pro-
crosses, are cold chills, cough, shortness Of
breath, restlessness at night, loss of appetite,
loss Of flesh, night sweats, hectic expect0ra-
ton of white mucous, pellets, also yellow and
blush or gray matter, sometimes streaked
with blood; burning pains in the chest, diar-
rh9a, general prostration and incapacity for
the ordinary duties of life. As the patient
becomes reduced other complications appear
and he rapidly sinks. A remarkable and
very common physical sign among consump-
tives is their exemption from alarm; notwith-
standing the dangerous character of their
disease they believe in ultimate recovery.
This very confidence prevents the patient
from resorting to the only means of cure,
and that watchfulness necessary in SO critical
time, until finally they lapse into hopeless
recovery. Like the first adventurous boat
man who rowed down from Erie; broad and
smooth was the river, rapid in progress, and
pleasant his anticipations. Alas, the tide
which drifted him so rapidly was one of de-
struction, and when he would retrace his way
he found the current too strong to stem, and
that he drew nearer every instant to the
mighty Niagara. Down, down he was car
ried amidst the seething spray, and with his
bark was dashed to pieces.
| The consumptive is admonished to resort
to Fellows Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites, when the first symptom presents itself,
and it is the only sure remedy.
