STATE FAIR.

The State Fair at Lafayette on three days of last week is represented from various sources as a splendid Exhibition. We should judge however from the general tone of remark that the locality is not the proper one for an Indiana Fair. Much complaint is also made from every quarter as to the want of accommodation for entertaining so large a number of persons as must generally be expected to attend a State Fair. Particularly if this reproach applied to the public houses which are said to have extorted in a most exorbitant manner from strangers on the occasion.

The Address of Horace Greeley is represented as one of the Lion matters of the occasion, and was one of the items advertised which no doubt contributed to enhance the number of visitors. The

Address was delivered by its distinguished author on the dny announced, and certainly reads as a most interesting document.

Premiums were awarded to several persons from Vigo County. For match horift C. Barbour took the premium of a iilver cup worth 820.

For the best 6 varieties of winter apples, Thomas Durham, a set of teaspoons, 86:

Machine for sowing Timothy and other seeds, Jos. O. Jones was awarded 86 and diploma.

DECLARATION OF WAR. The latest foreign news announces war between Russia and Turkey. This on the

part of

Turkey is said to be contrary to the advice of the four powers. What the effect may be on this country it is of coursc impossible to tell. Whether the war will be of long or short duration is equally uncertain. And the very fact of this uncertainty may contribute more effectually to unsettle commercial affairs in this country than any thing else. No doubt bread stuffs will rise and vacillate in price Tor a time. Speculations may be made at first in many branches of business—but wo doubt beneficial

results in the end.

PHOT. KENNEDY.—We have listened with much satisfaction and pleasure to the readings and recitations of Prof. Kennedy. He has fine taste and judgment, as well as a perfcct appreciation of his author. As an elocutionist we should havo no hesitation in recommending Prof. Kennedy in strong terms. Flo is easy and graceful in attitude and gesture, and a good model fur correct reading. Besides lectures the Profes•or has raised a class or two in elocution, which certainly he is well qualified to teach.

FOREIGN NEWS.

ViKNXA. Oct. 3 —The Divan, at thl grand council held to

day,resolved

upon

a declaration of war against Russia, against the advice of the four powers. The Sultan has signed the declaration, find rejion says that hostilities have com inenced.

The Russians, it is supposed, have moved to attack the Turkish position at Rouchan.

The Eastern question has taken another turn. The Olmu'z meeting of the Em perora is over, and a new proposition is offered to the P«r»e. Austria again puts herself in accord, and has met France. England, and Prussia, in a conference at Vienna.

Negotiations are resumed, but a telegraphic despatch from Constantinople, dated the 26th. says that the Grand Council of the Ottoman Empire recommended the Sultan to declare war against Russia, which caused an immediate meeting of the British Cabinet.— There is much apprehension among the public.

The Sultan's deCisTon is not know, but

The Norristown (Pa.) Register has a wonderful story about a Railroad accident

as follows: One evening last week as the train of earn wot* passing up the Columbia Railroad, about five miles from Philadelphia, three cows were lying on the 'rack. The first one the cars struck was instantly killed, and they were thrown off the track. They then immediately came in contact with the other two, which threw the cars on again.— The two were also killed. The great wonder connected with this matter was, that one of them being heavy with calf, the cow was cut to pieces by the cam, and the calf

The hrst play performed in America by a regular company of comedians, was the'Merchant of Venice,"at Willlamsburgh, the capital of Virginia, on the 6th of September, 1762.

—In the month of

August last, the number of births in the city of New York was 1,846 of marriages 660 and of deaths, 2.8?2. The mortality of the month exceeded that of July by the large figure of 1.770. In this, however, must be counted upwards of two hundred deaths by sunstroke, during tho excessively hot weathet in the latter part of August. Tho births exceeded the number in July by 255.— Five hundred and sixty couples were married, gainst 492 in July showing an increase of 68.

PROGRESS OF THE WINE CULTURE.—In

the vicinity of Cincinnati there are this season, for our wine-growers, the fairest prospect for a rich and abundant crop, amounting to some 500 000 gallons which will bring to the producers about the same number of dollars^ In other places in Ohio and the adjoining States the yield will amount to 100,000, and in Missouri and Illinois to soma 50,000 gallons. Considering these facts, and comparing them with the production of former years, the great increase in the culture of the grape will become at once apparent: and, looking to the many advantages offered, we may reasonably expect that its cultivation will soon become general. The consumption of our nntive wine is now already exceeding the production.,.,

Mrs. W. has been to the valley and returns disappointed, saying nothing could induce her to live with the saints. The saints arc in trouble, as ever, but now with the Indians and Indian traders. Gov. Young has issued a proclamation to the effect that all the forces of the Territory be armed and ready at a moment's warning to go against the Utah Indians, and prohibits any person trading lead or powder, &c., with them. It was determined in general council that the whole city be walled in and ditched around in consequence of Indian disturbances, the wall is to be built of mud and straw—'Egyptian brick.'

CONSUMPTION

A'any ypnrs of trial, instead of impairing i»« pvblic confidence in this melicine, hns won for it an appreciation and notoriety by fnroxcccdwir ilie most saneuine cxpectntions ol it* friends--Notliing but ite intrinic virtues ami the unmistakable benefit conferred on thousands ofsufftrcr* could originate and mniniain the roputntion it enjoys. While many interior n-metlies thrust upi the community, havo lailed and been disenhkd. this hus gained ft lends by every ttial, conlerr benefits on the alllictt they can never forgi t, and produced cures too numerous and too remark able to be forgotti n.

While it is a fraud on the public to pretend thn any one medicine will infallibly euro—still thcie is abundant proof that the CUF.KRY Pi croiut. does not only as a general thing, but almost invarii.bly cures the mtiladies lor which it is employed

As time makes these facts wfcler ami bett«r known, this medicine has gradually become tho best rdiance.ol tho ufflicted, from the loa cubiu (1 the American Peasnnt, to the palaces of European Kings. Throughout this entire country, in every State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet itcon'ains, CIIKRRY PtcroRAL is known as iho best remedy extant for diseases of tha Throat und Lungs, and in many foreign countries, it is coming to be extensively used by thoir most intelligent Physicians. In Great Britain, France and Germany, where the medical sciences have reuclied their highest perfection, CIIKIIRY Ptcn.RAI. is introduced, anu in constant use in tlie A mies, Hospitals, Alms Houses, Public Institutions, and in domestic nraciice, as the surest remedy their attending Physicians can employ lor the moro dangerous affections of the Lungs. Also in milder cases, and for children it is sale, plensant'and effectual to cure. In fact, some ol the most flatleiing testimonials we receive hnve been from parents who havo found it efficacious in cases particularly incidental to childhood-

The CHKRRV PECTORAL is manufactured by a practical Chemist, and every ounce ot it under ins own eye, with invariable accuracy and care. It is scaled and profecteil by law from counterfeit?, consequently can be relied on as genuine without adulteration.

We have ei Jeavored here to furnish the com munily with a medicine of such intrinsic super ority and worth as should commend itself to their confidence—tt remedy at once safe, speedy and eflectual, which this has by repeated and count* leas trials proved itself to bo and trust by great care in preparing it with chemical accuracy, of uniform strength to aflord Physicians a now a* gent on which they can rely for the best results, and the afflicted with a remedy that will do for them all thct medicine can do.
