Balm OF COLUMBIA.

Long hair is glory to woman says Paul,
And all feel the truth OF the pious quotation
Preserve it then, ladies-your glory may fall
Unless you protect it with this preparation
A man has right to go bald-ano so has q
woman to go barefoot: and one looks about as
respe ctable as the other Now if you wish To
stay bald, or get so it you are not, then do not
use the Balm Of Columbia. for we do know
that fyou do use the true from 81 Cortlandt

pulls it out. the Balm will make it grow again
This is no joke. though we have not had our
hair pulled out. we know who have, and have
had it restored.-N. Y. Express.

New Establishment.

YENHE subscriber would respectfully an
Il nonnce to the public that he has opened
AN establishment in the town Of Woodstock,
FOR The MANUFACTURE OF HATS.
His store room is opposite the residence of
DR. Jos. Irwin. where he will always keep on
hand an extensive assortment of hats, made
after the latest fashions and most approved
styles. From the experience of his foreman
in the establishment, Mr. j. c.. he thinks he
can safely say that his work, both as to its
make and finish. will be superior to any made
in the place, and not inferior to any made in
the North. His prices shall be moderate, land
hats will be sold at wholesale at a very llb-
eral discount. Country produce taken in
exchange for hats, at the market price.

MISCELLANEOUS.
From the Southern Caltiyator.
THE ALPACA.

Mr.. Allen, of the American Agricul-
turlst, says: keeping Alpacas on the
mountain RACES Of the Southern States,
would Yield the planters large profits,
and compensate them for the low price
ofcotton on the seaboard.' Mr.. Hatch,
of the Western Cultlvator says: sIn
Virginia, North and South Carolina,
and Georgia, there are mountains and
highlands enough, if converted into
walks forthe sheep of Andes, (Alpacas, J
as would, in a very few years, add a
million to the annual income of those
States.'
We have here, from two remote and
wildly different quarters, New York and
Indiana, at the same time, indication
of new persuit for the people of the
South. That the introduction of the
Alpaca would be attended with very
great advantages, if it should succeed,
we have no doubt. The wool is in a.
great demand for the manufacture of
the very fine and peculiar cloth SO
much priced by the ladies', three and
an half millions of pounds having
been imported into England last
year.
The Alpaca is represented to be
very gentle, dociIe and greatful crea-
ture, living and thriving on coarser
food than common sheep require, and
enduring the winter better. Indeed,
the principal difficulty attending the
attempt to introduce them into England
arises from the excessive luxuriance of
English pastures. But even with this
disadvantage, the animal is fonnd to
come to maturity sooner, by two years,
in England, than in the Peruvian
mountains; and the fleece is increased
from ten to seventeen pounds. Their
flesh when young is estimable, the
carcase weighing about $50 pounds. -
But the wool is the chef article Of
value, being fine, soft and silky, and

Faneuil Hall is three stories high, 100 feet

to the town of Boston, in 1742 The building
was enlarged in 1906 to its present size. Be
fore the new market was built, the lower part
Of it was used as for meat stalls; it is now i'm
proved for stores. The Hall is 20 feet square
70 high, anc has deep galleries on three sides
1t is adorned with superb paintings of patriots.
warriors and statesmen. A speech was pro
nounced in the Hall on the l4th of March,
: 1863, by James Otis, Jr. Esq. He dedicated
1t to the cause of freedom.-a cause in which
he labored and sutherland it has since re-

The following spirited little poem, which we
find in an old number of one of our periodicals

pen of Mrs. Hale, is quite appropriate
The gorgeous rays of sunset fall
Brightly upon that time stained WALL

Nor upon lofty columns rest
These fading glories of the west,
Ncr falls that tinge of Furnished gold
Z On massive towers of Gothic mould
Then say what stream from mem'ry's tide
Calls to thy cheek that flush of pride
Why as thou lookest upon that spire
FLASHES thine eye with youthful fire,
What feelings swell within thy breast,
Oh dweller Of the mighty west?
Stranger, though many nobler pile
Is gilded by the SUMS last smile,
And mem'ries of the mighty dead
hallowed glory round it she'd
Yet this, as freedoms hottest shrine,
CLOVIS with beauty more divine
Than ever graced Powers lordliest dome,
Or temple of imperial Rome.
Look backward-let Times shadows pass,
Scarce seventy years, Ger mem'ry's glass,
What eager hopes, what anxious doubts,
What words of fire, what joyful shouts
Then echoed through this silent hall,
Where now alone our footsteps fall.
Our freedoms cradle-is it not
In treeman's eyes, hallowed spot?
-, When throbbed their hearts to fling away
The foreign despot's iron sway,
Twas here that met the chosen band,
Pledged to the cause with heart and hand;
Twas here they wooed the martyrs crown,
Nor thought, ere many years had flown,
10 wave instead Ger millions free,
The laurel wreath of victory
Nor through the futures mist, ween,
Unto that patriot few was seen,
That when their standard first unfur..ed,
1t promised freedom for world!
Oh coldly oft the world doth turn
From marble hall and sculptured urn,
But freedoms pilgrim fingers near
This holy spot, and musng here
Upon the past, with many thrill
Of JOY and triumph, 2rayeth still

Gently upon ''Old F'aneuil Hall.''

Alpaca can be bought Of the Earl of
Derby, near Liverpool, for about 5000
perpair. But they can be bought from
their native country at less expense.
The first cost and expense of trans
portation to the shipping port, it is said,
will not exceed SIS per head; cost Of
transportation to port in the United
State, is supposed not to exceed $40
making cost in Charleston or Savan-
nah $25. To this should be added
expense of native shepherd, who
should in all cases, be got to take
charge of the animals during the voy-
age.
English noblemen and farmers are
bestowing great attention on the intro
duction ofthe Alpaca into England and
Scotland; and thus far, their efforts
have meet with extraordinary success.
Why should not our planters be eager
to engage in an enterprise that would
add so much to the resources of our
country? The only serious impede
ment that we can see in the way, dis
couraging every thing like enterprise
in the business of wool growing, or
the introduction Of the Alpaca, comes
from the multitude of worthless dogs
with which the country is infested
Mr.. Chiles, Of Harrodsburg, Kentucky,
recently lost seventy select fine wooden
ewes in one night, by dogs. 1t can't
be often repeated, that before our peo-
pie undertake raising either sheep or
Alpacas, with any reasonable expecta-
ton of success, they must be supplied
with the shepherds dog. Of this
most faithful and most useful animal,
we add hereunto an account taken from
the Salem Register, Ohio; into which
paperit was copied from late English
work.
