t;E:or Ia the Stomach,

Much Of the distress and sickness at,ribu.
ted to dyspepsia, chronic diarrhra and other
causes is occasioned by humor in the
stomach. Several cases, with all the char.
acterstics of these complaints, have been
cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures
effected by this medicine are so wonderful
that the simplest statement of them affords
the best proof that it combines rare curative
agents and when once used secures ihe

and snow, and it was feared that the
weather would prove too much for the
fair, but at nj ght there was quite a
good exhibit upon the ground and ell

good exhibit ia nearly every depart

there was a good attendance. We'd
nesday and Thursday good herds of
Devons were shown by John Fish of
Washington aud by G. +. Dutton of

Royalton had his herd of Dutch cattle
and some Durhams here. There was
large and good show of sheep and
poultry. The horse exhibit was more
than good. In Floral Hall the exhibit
of grains and Of fruit was large and
good. The ladies made a good exhibit,
and as they had the good sense to leave
their tides at home, it will do no harm
to give them the praise they deserve
for making all the pretty and useful
articles shown here. Mrs. Ruth Row.
ell of Tunbridge, now so years of age,
had here some bedspreads knit by her.
self, of a very pretty pattern. Herbert
Luce of Chelsea, IL years old, had
here small sleigh and a buggy, made
by himself, that were as we'll shaped as
those made at any shop. To mention
all the articles that deserve mention
would take more space than you will
give me. There was too much jockey
ing in most Of the races to make them
