The meet ing was organized by the appointment of the following officers:— President—Dr. E. PARRY. Vice Presidents—Joseph Balance, John F. Heinitsh, Wm. Gibson, Daniel Rhoads, John Zimmerman, John A. Miller. • -Secretaries—A. W. Russel, Isaac N. Ell maker. The object of the meeting was .then sta ( ted by Col. D. W.

Heinitsh, James Penny, O. J. Dickey, W. G. Evans, Geo. A. Miller. The com mittee then retired, and after a short ab sence, reported the following preamble and. resolutions. ' Whereas : The citizens of Lancaster city and county have always been deeply interested in, and intimately connected with the interests of the Pennsylvania farmer, and of late years particularly, have viewed with pleasure the efforts making in tlieir midst and : throughout the State, to arouse the attention of the citizens to the study of agricultural as liberal and enlightened pur suit ■ and believing the recent organization of a Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society as one of the chief means to secure a new era in Pennsylvania husbandry; and where as, it has been represented to us that it is the; desire of the officers of the State Agri cultural Society to hold their first: Annual Fair and Exhibition at Lancaster, on the 22d, 23d and 24th days of October next, pro vided a portion of the means necessary to secure suitable •accommodations isguaran teed to them. Therefore Resolved, That the people of the city of of Lancaster and vicinity hereby pledge themselves to raise the necessary funds for the State Society Executive Committee, provided they call the Agricultural Fair in October next, at Lancaster city. Resolved, That in view of our locality— the ease of access and communication, by railway and otherwise—its central position —the proficiency irr agriculture which char acterises the county of Lancaster—and the sizeofthe city of Lancaster ; we are con strained to offer the assurance of "as good, if not superior accommodations, in every re spect, to the State Society, and .the crowds of visitors who doubtless will attend said Fair, as can be obtained elsewhere within the Commonwealth. Resolved, That the said citizens in city and county meeting assembled,hereby warm ly and cordially invite the State Agricultural Society to hold their contemplated annual 1. Fair, in October next, at Lancaster. Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions, and also the whole proceedings of this meeting, be respectfully submitted to the Executive Committee of the State Society, at its meeting to be held to-morrow, at Harrisburg. The foregoing were unani mously adopted—after which the meeting adjourned. J We are pleased to state that there iS a laudable spirit manifested on the part of our \ . citizens to do their duty in this matter. — l The sum of four hundred dollars has been ? subscribed,and the remainder, to makeup the sum of five or six hundred, will be sub - scribed to-day, if the least effort be made. —Union 4* Tribune. the'Wheat crop of Western New York, the Syracuse Journal of the 19th ult. says: The incoming wheat crop has passed the ordeal of winter without injury, and, in all this section, wears a very promising appearance. -It is yet too early to speak positively as to its exemption from frost, but no reasonable apprehensions of danger can be entertained.* The plant was unusually well grown and rooted last tall, and the winter has been favorable. . It neither been winter killed or Bmothered by the .snow. ‘ And the editor of the Hagerstown Torch Light speaks of the growing grain, in that vicinity, as follows: ; We have never, seen it look so promising at this season of the year. The fields are well covered, and the grain is so strong and vigorous, as4o throw out of the question, almost, any apprehension that we will not have one of the most abundant crops, next-harvest, that our country has ever produced. A Novel Question op Frebdojt.— A family oi eight negroes sued in Virginia for their freedom, claiming under a deed of manumission, executed by their formfcr master, about twenty years ago, in the city of New York. The evidence was that they were children and the grand children of their former master, who carried them to New York and there emancipated them to evade the law of Vaf which did notallow him to emancipate them there,’ without sending them out of the State; that he brought them immediately back with him to Vir ginia, and that .they were never molested in the enjoyment of their lreedora since his death, which occurred some fifteen.years ago, until they were arrested last summereby the Sheriff, at.the instance of his next kin .(blood relatives of the persons claimed), and claimed by them as slaves. The question was whether such a deed of manumission was sufficient, and the court allowed the question to go to the jury* who returned a righteous verdict in favor of the negroes. The jfhigs and the Pres Idency. The Whigs of Pennsylvania seem to be! at log .gerheads in reference to their candidate ifor the Presidency in 1852. A portion of the Whig mem bers of the Legislature, a short time ago issued a card, recommending .the people of Pennsylvania to adopt Gen. Winfield Scott, as their leader. This is said to be a move on the part of the State adminis tration to make strength for itself, and it has aroused the ire of the friends of the National Administration in Pennsylvania. Many of the Whig presses de nounce it as in bad taste and calculated to create distraction in the party. The members who signed, the card are told that they had better attend to their legitimate legislative duties, and permit the people to settle the Presidential question in such manner as to them may seem'fitting. This is a -very interesting fight as it stands, and we doubt not.it will become more attractive as it progresses.— Don. Union. Fsom Texas.— The slave population of Gonzales county has donbled in the last year, and the agri cultural products are said to have increased beyond any past experience. Other western counties are reported to have had a proportionate share of emi gration. It is also added that the emigration to the eastern counties of the State, especially those Tying' on the upper Trinity rivers, has uearly doubled the population both.of whites and blacks,' as compared with last year. It is predicted that, in case the present year shall be favorable for crops, the amount of exports from Texas will exceed that of any pre vious similar period. The Galveston Journal says* in speaking of the Trinity trade, that there are more than three thousand bales of cotton on that river waiting shipment, and that under favorable cir cumstances, the quantity of cotton which will be shipped from the Trinity valley next season to Gal vEston, will reach thirty thousand bales. The New Orleans Crescent publishes a letter .from a correspondent in Texas, in which the con struction of a railroad from that city to the Sabine, to be continued thence, when population will war-, rant it, toSan Antonio or the Rio Grande is earn estly advocated. Sleigh for the World’s Fair.— The Messrs. James Goold & Co., of Albany, have finished a pony sleigh of very beautiful workmanship, for the World’s Exhibition. It is finished with crimson velvet cushions, aud the ornamental painting on thd body is described as admirably done. SnoxE Jail.— I The prisoners confined in the jail at Allentown, (six in number,) made their escape on Tuesday, by l cutting a hole through the ceiling, through which they passed into the loft, escaping •thence by means of their blankets cut into strips, and used as ropes to let- them down from the win dow. - • ? HOS . T 1S ?«“• —There was a very severe frost in San Antonio, Texas, on the 10th Hilt., which kill ed many of the garden vegetables that were quite forwatd and cut down a great deal of the young corn, which had just made its appearance above ground. ; cr Both branches ol the Legislature have agreed to adjourn on th> 13th instant—two weeks from to-day: - " . : Mou Evidxhcx.— The Journal, published at New Castle, Lawrence county—by the way a cap ital Democratic paper—is out with a strong article in favor of Mr. Buchavas’s nomination for the Presidency. It also publishes the resolutions of the late Democratic Convention of this county. ■ CP" A bill to incorporate the Marietta and Mount Joy Tumpj&e Company, passed the Senate on Wedneßday-last. Thb Diffebexcb iir Rawk.—A California paper says that when a gentleman has drank too imuch, they say he has a brickinkis hat— but if a loafer is found in the same condition, they say he is drunk.

Presuming that life ‘is a unity! whatever material agent possesses the phwer of ar resting the motions of the body is capable of do-, ranging their action. What is disease in its sim plest form but an interruption of the electrical mo tions of the body by agents not compatible with them. These motions may to a certain! extent bo either increased or decreased without positively injuring the vital actions of the whole—like the wheels of a time piece, stop one and you influence all—so with disease in all chronic maladies whether affecting one or more organs of tho body, we in variably discover them to be effects rather than cures of ill-health.

Afflicted: “be wise in!time, His folly to defe^f’ Philadelphia, Nov. 22, 1848. .Dr. Keeler—Dear Sir: I take great pleasure in bearing testimony in behalf of your valuable med icine, Sarsaparilla. I have been using it for a pain in the side of long standing, which was occasioned by a severe attack of Pleurisy and fever several years since in the West. For several months past my health has been failing, and the pain in the side so severe at times as to disable me from attending to my business. I have used many remedies with scarce ;,any benefit until I commenced using your Sarsaparilla, since which time health jhas grad ually improved, so much so that at the present time I enjoy. muc{t better health than for years past. I have used the medicine in my family, and consider it infinitely superior to any remedy within my know ledge in chronic affections of the chest and organs of digestion. -“I am yours very respectfully Henry Thomas, 142 South Second at.- SCROFULA CURED. j Philadelphia, Nov. 14, 1848.' Dr. Keeler—Dear Sir: I feel it my duty to state to you the good effects your Sarsaparilla has pro duced on a son of mine, who has been for several years afflicted with what physicians have termed Scrofula.. He has been somewhat hard of hearing for several years, accompanied with a constant dis charge from the ears, and a dull hgavy pain across the forehead; his general health quite feeble, ap petite precarious, and bowels irregular. The.* e were swclliDgs of the neck and at the angle of the jaws, the complexion of an ashy paleness, and all the characteristics of wasting health. At : your re quest, I commenced giving him your Sarsaparilla, and I am rejoiced to state that after using three bot tles, there has been a remarkable change for the better. His appetite is now good, the pain across the forehead entirely gone, the swellings have dis appeared, the color of the skin is now like one en joying good health, indeed he now says he feels well, appetite good, sleeps well, and is really changed, which I attribute solely to your medicine. 1 feel fully satisfied from what I have witnessed in my owfcchild, that it la a medicine of unsurpassed power in disease of a Scrofula character.
