THE GREAT B.AIIITARY FAIR.
Preparations are going forward vigor
ously for the great Sanitary Fair, to be
held in this city, in a few weeks. The
temporary buildings are rapidly going
rip on Logan Square, the broad and ex
tensive avenues of which will all be oc
cupied for this purpose. We notice one
of the principal bridge-builders in the
country on the ground, showing that
every effort is to be made to provide
safe, substantial and commodious ac
commodations.
In order to give some idea of the extent
of the undertaking, we would say that
this great Fair embraces eighty-one com
mittees, each of which appoints sub-com
mittees to more fully carry out the duties
respectively assigned to them. One of
the largest of these committees is the one
on labor, income and revenues. The
duties of this committee, in a word, are
to secure one day's "labor" (or salary),
one day's "income," or one day's "reve
nue" from each person, not only in this
State, but also in the States of New
Jersey and Delaware. The names of
some of the most prominent men in this
and the adjoining States are on the Com
mittee, and every interest is represented
—commercial and manufacturing, as well
as agricultural. All who wish to facili
tate the work of this committee, and help
to make this Fair a grand success, are re
fered to the advertisement.

FRAGRANT SOZODONT.
Only True Dentriflee Known.
The public have long been in want of some conve
nient, safe and beneficial Dentrifice, which could be
relied on as having a healthy and preserving effect on
the teeth and gums. Hundreds of worthless prepara
tions have already been offered as such, in the form of
powders, pastes and liquids, when a trial has only
proved them Injurious to the enamel of the teeth, or
else too inconvenient and unpleasant for daily use, so
indispensable to the preservation of the teeth. The
Sozodont is offered with all confidence as a Beautifier
and Preserver of the Teeth a scientific combination,
every ingredient of which is known to have a beneficial
influence on the teeth andgums, imparting a delightful
and refreshing taste and feeling to the mouth, correct
ing all disagreeable odors arising from decayed teeth,
use of tobacco, &c. Its fragrance and convenience
make it a pleasure to use it ;.it is perfectly free from all
acids or other ingredients having the least tendency to
injure the enamel.
This popular Dentrifice is now used and recommended
by many of the first Dentists in the country, as well as
by many of the most eminent Divines, Physicians,
Chemists and Scientific Gentlemen of the day.
The following eminent clergymen and their families, of
New York city, together with hundreds of others, having
used the SOZODONT, are convinced of its excellent and
invaluable qualities, and give it their most cordial com
mendation.

THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR
The Committee on " Labor, Incomes and Revenues"
invite co.operation with them in the particular work for
which they have been appointed. As no portion of the
people are more patriotic than the workingmen and
women of the country, it is but just and proper that
they should alike have an opportunity to contribute to
the objects of the Fair. The most equable plan for
accomplishing this, and at the same time the easiest
one, is to ask for the contribution of a single day's
labor from all classes in the community. Many will
contribute a day of their labor willingly, who would
not subscribe their money. To reach every depart
ment of industry and art will be a work of great labor,
but if attained, will to productive of immense results.
The success of the plan will depend upon the hearty
cooperation of every element of influence within our
limits, and we invite all, the guardians of the industrial
interests, and all others, to take hold with us in fur
thering this great work of patriotism and humanity.

OFFICE OF THE COIOCITTRE ON LABOR, INCOILIO3 AIU)
RzyzNor.s, No. 118 South Seventh street,
PHILADELPHIA, April 15,1864.
The Committee is charged with the following. duty
viz:
First. To obtain the contribution of "one day's
labor" or earnings from every artisan and laborer
foreman, operative and employee; president, cashier,
teller and clerk of every incorporated and unincorpo
. rated company, railroad and express company, em
ploying firm, bank, manufactory, iron works, oil works,
mill, mine and public office ; from every private banker
and broker, importer, auctioneer and merchant; clerk,
agent and salesman; designer, finisher and artist; pub
lisher, printer and mechanic; from every Government
officer, contractor and employee; grocer, butcher, baker
and dealer; farmer, horticulturist and producer; from
every mantua•maker, milliner and female operative;
every individual engaged in turning the soil, tending
the loom, or in any way earning a livelihood or build
ing a fortune within the States of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware.
Second. To obtain the contribution of one day's
"revenue" from all the great employing establish
ments, firms, corporations, companies, railroads and
works.
Third. To obtain the contribution of one day's in
come from every retired person and persons of fortune
—male and female—living upon their means, and from
all clergymen, lawyers, physicians, dentists, editors,
authors and professors, and all other persons engaged
in.the learned or other professions.
Much of this work must be performed by the per
sonal influence and efforts of ladies and gentlemen as
sociated or to be associated with the Committee in
carrying out the plan.
The Committee feel the responsibility of the work
they he ve undertaken, which, to be successful, will
- require a very perfect ramification of their plan, and
they therefore call upon all, earnest people to assemble
themselves together in every town, township and
county, and form organisations of ladies 'and gentle
men to so operate with them in this great work and
labor of love. In the manufacturing counties, the coal
and oil regions, and in the agricultural districts—
especially let there be organizations in the larger
towns, so that the young people may have an opportu
nity thus to render assistance to their relatives and
friends fighting the battles of their country in the
armies of the nation.
The work of this Committee may be prosecuted where
no other effort can be made for the Fair, as in the
mines of the coal regions. A day's earnings of the
miners and a day's product of the mines can be ob.
Mined, where no portable article could be procured
for transportation. Indeed, there is no part or section
of these States where the day's labor may not be ob
tained, if organizations can be formed to roach them.
The Committee cannot close without urging upon all
proprietors of establishments the duty of taking prompt
and energetic action to secure the benefit of the day of
labor from all within their control.
The Committee deem it unnecessary to do more than
thus to present the subject to the people of the three
States named._Jttilmcomjng.canapaigns of our armies
the labors of the " Sanitary Commission" will be greatly
augmented. By the first of June 700,000 men—one of
the largest' armies of modern times—will be operating
in the field. So large a force, scattered over regions to
which the men are unacclimated, must necessarily
carry along with it a large amount of sickness, suffering
and death, to say nothing of the gathered horrors of the
battlet-field.
These sufferings it is our bounden duty, as men and
Christiaris, to relieve. A great and enlightenedpeople,
enjoying the blessings of a Government of their own
making, cannot iefuse assistance to men sabring to
maintain its authority, and we will not believe that the
GREAT CENTRAT. PAUL
drawing its products from the three States of Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, so affluent in all
mineral, agricultural and industrial wealth, shall fall
behind any similar effort which has yet been made for
the relief of the Nation's children.
As it is desirable not to muliiply circulars, no further
authority than this circular will be necessary for any
employing firm or company, or any respectable Committee
of La lies and Gentlemen, to proeeed at once in the work of
this committee.
Subscriptions will be immediately acknowledged in
the newspapers of Philadelphia; and it is very desirable
that they commence at once, as each fresh acknow
ledgement will stimulate further effort.
All subscriptions should be addressed to JOHN W
Cutmona, Treasurer, Office of the Committee, No. 118

tion of other men's ltiotights, but the disccdsion Of a
large and important subject of the Scriptures in many
of its parts, by a mind that has ranged through the
whole field, and has penetrated beyond facts to prin
ciples, and philosophically elucidated principles to the
common apprehensions of men and confirmed them
by the facts of Christian experience.
Notices of the Work.
[From Prof. W. S. Tyler, Amherst College, Mass.]
"I have read the book with great interest, and what
is better, with real profit. I hardly know which I
admire most, the logical clearness and discrimination,
the definiteness and vividness of the thought, the con
ciseness and perspicuity of the language, the familiar'
knowledge and happy application of the Scriptures, the
practical wisdom and good sense, or the wide and deep
pastoral and Christian experience by which it is distin
guished. It was manifestly written, not out of the
reason and the imagination, merely, but out of the
heart and the life—not merely to make a book, but to
meet a felt want and accomplish an important object.
And in the skill with which it meets th e wants of the
church and the necessities of men's souls in these
times, lies its wisdom and its power. May the Head of
the Church and the Saviour of men use it, as I doubt
not h e will, to accomplish a great and good work in the
sanctification and salvation of multitudes."
[From Rev. Dr. Pond, Theological Seminary, Bangor,
"I have read the volume with an almost unmingled
satisfaction. It is obviously the result, not only of
much Biblical study, but of high spiritual instruction,
and of a deep and thorough Christian experience. The
author assumes, of course, the existence and personal
influence of such a being as Satan, and attributes much
of the evil which prevails in the Church and the world
to his wiles. The work abounds with Scripture cita
tions, some of which will be new and striking to intelli
gent readers. It also contains many instructive " pas
tor's sketches," by which its leading principles are
illustrated and impressed. It is written in a pure
vigorous and classical style, which renders it the more
attractive to rt adore of taste. I have no hesitation in
commending the book to the careful consideration of
ministers, of theological students, and of intelligent
Christians generally."
