The great number OF competitors IN this

remark, while the strict discipline of the teams,
/ the improvement in ploughs, the skill of those
who managed them, and the enlarged crops
that burden the fields of the good farmer, attest
It's beneficial effects to the agricultural commu-

since matches are so interesting, old bachelors
are too untractabe to be yoked-so much has
been done and is still doing, to call into exer
else the resources of the country, and increase
It's strength by internal improvement-one
would suppose they would, from he"ring the
word match, if from nothing else, catch the
idea, and take yoke fellows to help them along
the up hill of lite, rather than draw the cold
comfort of single blessedness, with one end OF
the yoke on the ground, through tedious nights
and wearisome years They seem not to have
learnt that half single team is not entitled to
a premium.
The Committee congratulate you, MIR. Pres

throughout the community in our ploughing
matches, which add So much to the man show,
the cattle show, and the show altogether.

ESE PECTFULLY informs the public in

Whitman's Block, o. 8, Wcstminster-strcot,
where no has commodious accommodations
for Gentlemen's Hair Cutting, &c.
Permit him to say a few words upon his pro-
fcssioD.
Doctors Gall and purzheim have contend
ed that genius, taste, the passions and all that
belongs to the Intellectual powers ofman rest
upon the formation OF the cranium:-This may
be truc-but with nov mucn more ruth can
it be said that the beauty of " the human face
Apine,' depends upon that great feature Of
the countenance, the HAIR. Fashion has held
a constant reign, exhibiting all the varieties of
her power, over this vegetable Of the human
~head-now flowing in luxurIant ~iinglcts, and
now shaven with ecclesiastical solemnity.-
Wigs were invented to give dignity to the " isc,
and the appearance of gravity and wisdom to
the dull; but the age Of wigs rs gone forever
the owl of Minerva has mOulted his feathers.
ami fallen from her fane.-The present style
of moulding this feature has never been sur
passed-it has a classical origin, taken from
the antique crop seen on the Elgin marbles
and Roman coins, uniting Athenian grace
with Roman dignity, and is finely adapted to
the ball room or military parade. This art of
a. managing the hair" is one not learned in a
day, but requires skill and experience. The
rule is general but the application must be va
red for delicate features, by help of this art,
can be built up into something Of a marital air
and severe limos of the countcnance softened
down to sylvan simplicity. If any one doubt
whether this can be done, let him come and
est his skill. GIN nov 81

DIR. CHAMBERS CURE FOR INTEM-
PERANGE.

yTNHE subscriber, on the deccase of the late
DIR. William Chambers, took into his
possession the personal estate of the deceased,
and found prepared a large Quantity of DIR
Chambers Remedy for Intempcrance.
He hereby informs the public, that he has
DISPOSED of oil the medicine so found, to Dr.
James II. Hart, and Mr.. andrew M. Tanning,
of this city.
In making this disposition, the subscriber
has been actuated by a due regard to the inter-
csts of the heirs of the intestate, as well as
from a wish to give the most extensive use to
the virtues of the discovery whatever they may
be: and he can further add, with confidence,
that the gentlemen who will hereafter be the
yenders of the Remedy for intempcrance, as
Or spared by the inventor, have been Intimately
connected with DR.. Chambers in his lie time,
have been his agents in compromising the med
j cine, and arc acquainted with its composition.
SILVANUS MILLER,
Public Administrato, &c.
M The medicine will hereafter be prepared
and sold by the subscribers, who alone ale in
possession of the original recipe of tho inven-
tor, at the office of the late DR.. G in the base
ment story of Rutgers Medical College. in
Duane-street east side of roadway, and at the
medical store of DR.. Hart, corner of B~rosa"a:
and Chambers street, three doors from Wash
ington Hall, New York.
The astonishing success which this remedy
has obtained in restoring habitual. inebriates to
sobriety, has established it's virtues beyond all
contradiction. and supersedes the necessity Of
any further
The remedy is as innocent as it is oitectual;
so much so, that it is often given to children in
febriIe complaints, nd frequently used as a
family med icine for Dyspepsia, &c. All that
is required, to ensure its specific effect, IS to
abide strictly by the directions. 1t Is put up
i'm packa aes sufficient for one individual C re,
and accompanied with ample directions for its
use, signed IN the handwriting of the snbscri-
bers, without which none are genuine. We are
induced to adopt this measure. as IN conse-
quence of the great celebrity which DIR. Cham
bers' medicine has obtained, there have been,
and doubtless will be, many spurious Imita-
tons. On enclosing 10 us the usual price, So
postage paid, the medicine can be sent by
mail. To those who are unable to pay, ON
personal application Of the individual at Our
Office, the medicine will be administered gra-

PROVIDENCE. SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY GO, 1872.

TnEATRIcALs. From the annexed para
graph, it will be seen, that the lawgivers and
sagcs Of Mass chusetts, are about to raise a
new party, in that State; namely Theatrical,
and an anti-Theatrical party.
! "On motion of Mr.. MEREIcK, of w. order
ed that Messrs. Merrick, Taft, Of S. Bodwcll,
C. Grecnough, OF r. and Whipple. Of c. be a
Committee TO consider the expediency of Pro
LIMITING ALL THEATRICAL EXHIBITIONS
WITHIN THIS CoMMoHwEALTH, or any
part thereof"
Propositions. like tho one contained in the
above motion, are idle in the extreme, and VIC
exceedingly doubt. if the people of Massachu-
sctts, ever delegated men 10 lcgisia.o on the
subject of their intellectual amuscments. This
crusade against Theatres. will only tend TO
generate party feelings, and to increase the
numbcr Of Theatres in tho country. Such ri
dicu!ous opposition and persecution, carries
with it, its W correction. Some fifteen years
ago, an attempt was made TO suppress Theat-
rical a,nusemcnts in this State, and what was
the consequence: Why, The project failed and
during the whole oil tbe next theatrical season,
the Theatre was crowded 10 excess. For the
benefit ofour managers, we could hope, that
the thing were again attempted.
The application Of the proprietors OF the
SALEM THEATRE, for an act of incorpora-
ton, seems TO have excited no snail interest,
and the debates, on the subject have taken a
wide range, and called forth all OF the purita-
meal blood, which flows through the channels
and arteries Of that august body, called the
Massachusetts Genera. Cou-, or Legislature.
What the result CT the affair vii. be, we
cannot tell to a certainty, hu. we have not a
doubt, that it will tend 70 increase Thcatrieals,
and promote the very cause, which the opposers
of the Salem Theatre, wish to destroy.
But as the subject Of Theatrical amusemcnts,
has been gravcly taken UP by the sages OF
Massachusetts, and as they are about to say IN
which way a man may or may not amusc him
solf,we would respectfully suggest to 50 learn
ed and wise a body, tho proprioty of their
legiaiating on the amusonen,s afforded by
skating, playing marbles, top. hido-anJ-so
seek, prison basF,' dig the gold knife. and blank
bladder. Each and all oflhcsc ~profanc aruac-
mcats, aro certainly destructive to the hap
piaess Of the ;imos, and as the Massachusetts
Legislature, are determined to improve tic
morals of the age, and 10 establish a code for
the regulation Of the art Of laughing, We sin
corcly hope, that the subjects we have sug-
gcstcd, will speedily arrest their attention, and
sagac'ous deliberations. We hope tina, they
will also, establish a statute to abolish witch
craft, and TO prevent ghosts from ga:ng at
large.
