THR NoRTuUMBERLAND COUNTY AGRTCVLTCR.
Al FAIR.-The managers OF the Northumberland
County Agricultural Society met at this place,
on Monday last, and decided on holding their
Annual Fair on the same grounds of last year,
at this place. The time of holding the Fair will
be on Wednesday, Thursday ann Friday, the
25th, 2Gth and 21th OF September next. As the
officers OF this society have proper to bring
the Fair to this place again, with view TO get
the farmers on this Side of the riveI to take an
interest in such an important matter, we would
urge upon all farmers and mechanics Of the
county to prepare for this exhibition their crops
and handiwor,:. We are satisfied that Nouhum-
herlaEd county will not be eXceled IN her crops,
stock and mechauica! genius If proper effort is
is made by her farmers and mechanics. Farmers
will have ample time to bring their stock
and crops to perfection, as to add to the inter
est Of the exhibition. We feel confident that If
specimens of their products of this county are
brought here that cur County Fair will compare,
in every respect, to any.nth State. These pro-
ducts will not only be merely to look upon rs u
show, but will aii in cievating the reputation
ana skill OF the sous and daughters of our coUn-
ty.

Williamsport, on Tuesday, May 9TH. Arrange
ments are being made by Mr.. d. Reimer for ex-
cursion tickets to all who wish to attend this

been excelled anywhere. The Harrisburg Itle-
graph, speaking of the concert given at that
place, on Monday last, says ''The concert given
at the Court House, last evening, was a perfor-
nance we shall not soon have an opportunity Of
listening to again. 1t was simply above criti-

of the most complete establishments on the road.

FIRE. THREE BrABJEs BURNED. = On last
Wednesday evening, soon after O'Clock, the sta
BILE of VIM. l. Greenough, Esq, located on Bar
berry alley, was discovered to be on fire on TIE
hay loft. The alarm was given, and soon the
streets were flied with people rushing TO the con
fagratlon,, The steamer was run to the river,
but through sdne lcausoid did not get into service
for some time. In the meanwhile all the live
stock, horses cattle aud hogs were taken out of
the surrounding buildings. There appeared to
be considerable hay in the stable which burned
very rapidly, and created an intense heat. After
the flames burst through the roof they soon COM
municated with another adjoining stable also be-
longing to Mr.. Greenough, and soon enveloped
that entire building. From thence the flames
reached the stables of Ira Il. Clement on the OPP
positc side Of the alley aud enveloped those build
ngs, placing the dwelling Of Mr.. Clement and G.
Neil2s hotel in the most imminent danger, the
roofs of which caught fire several times but was
eXtnguished with buckets, The stable OF Col.
Ncf was also frequently on fire, but was saved
by the extraordinary exertions Of several young
mcn who with buckets ana force pumps threw
water upon the roof and sides. The steamer,
when brought into action, soon had the effect of
The firemen are deserving of much praise for
their heroic acts in placing themselves between
the frey element, (the heat being intense,) and
battling to subdue the flames. Anumber of 9TH
cr buildings in the vicinity were set fire by the
flying sparks but were extngushcd with buck
cts. It was fortunate that the air was calm.
Had there been a wind there is no telling where
the coulagration would have ended, as this fire
was in the thlckly settled part of the towu. The
loss OF Mr.. Grccnongh will probably reach $4,000,
which was partly insured. Mr.. Clements loss
will also reach about $4,000, on which there was
$1,000 insured. Col Ncif's loss is estimated at
about $500.
The fire was evidently the work Of an incendla-
ry, and strong suspicion rests upon certain par
tics in this place.
The fire department Northumberland prompt
ly came over to assist but by the time they reach
cd here, the fire was under complete control.
Their good intentions exhibited in coming to our
aid, is highly appreciated by our citizens, and
will be remembered.
notwithstanding the conllagration on Bar
berry alley, the stable Of Mrs. Carr, on Race
street, caught fire from the sparks of a locomo
tive. 1t was cxtinguished before any material
damage was done.

lbout half Tast one o'clock, the roof of VIM. II.
Miilcr's residence, the basement of which is oc.
cupicd by the Excelsior shoe store, and T. Shan
mons Jewelry store, on the corner Of Market and
Third sts., caught fire from the sparks of loco
motive. The flames were making considerable
leadway when discovered. 1t WAS promptly eX-
inEuished with buckets before doing much du- |
mage.

AWboIesome StimnIort hot : Abs,


A Wholesome Stimulant that Is AbsO-
LUTELY PURE-Physicians throughout the
world agree as to the necessity for difusive
stimulants in medical practice, but complain,
and with good reason, OF the impossibility Of
obtaining them pure. The difficulty here
presented would be n serious one indeed, If the
class of agents was limited TO the adulterated
liquors and wines of trade. It vanishes, how
ever, when the absolute purity and extraor-
binary restorative properties of Hostetter's
Bitters are taken into consideration. As a
stimu!ant the article is absolutely free from
everything Objectionable; but this is only one
Of its recommendation. If it were nothing
more than an exeitant its effects would be
neeting. 1t might refresh and revive the sys-
TEN for a few minutes, but could produce no
] permanent benefit. The stimulating elements
of the Bitters is a means, not an end. The
tonic, anti-bilious, depurative and aperient
vegetable juices combined In the preparation
are the agents that impart vigor and regular
ity to the weakened and disordered organiza-
ton, the spirituous principle being chiefly
useful in diffusing their influence through the
system and otherwise facilitating their opera
ton. Alcohol, even in its purest form, is not
50 much a medicine as a motive power, by
which the specifics of the vegetable kingdom
may be brought TO bear upon the debilitated
and disordered organs that require renovating
and regulating; and IL is in this way that the
pure essence Of rye Incorporated in Hostel
ter's BitterS increases the efficiency of the
purely medical ingredients.
