i TRICOPHEROUS,o or Nedicated Compound, for
beautifylng, curling, preserving, restoring and
strengthening the HAIR relieving diseases Of the
skin, curing rheumatic pains and healing external

reputation of Barry's Tricopherous pervades the

increased in ratio that almost exceeds belief.
Professor Barry, after careful examination Of his

1t is unnecessary to present at length the evil

pberous when the public have furnished such an
endorsement this. The cheapness of the article,
and the explanations given of it's chemical action

the attention of the people. This was all that
the inventor desired Every bottle advertised
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded expec-
tation. 1t acted like charm. The ladies would
not be without it: Country dealers in every
section of the United States found they must
have it and thus was built up wholesale
trade of an extent hitherto unheard of as regards
articles of this kind. The highest point has not
yet been reached, and 1t is believed that the sales
this year will be million and half of bottles.

ExcLupING WOMEN FROM FuNERALs.-If the
reader will pick up any New York or Philadel
phia paper, and turn to the obituary notices, he
will be very likely to find ''the male friends Of the
deceased invited to attend the funeral" We OBJ
served this strange distinction long before we I'M
derstood what it meant We were, we confess,
behind the age, and it may be that some of our
readers are still in the same situation. For their
benefit we will make an explanation. 1t is no
longer genteeL for ladies to attend funerals; and to
such an extent has the rule been carried, that
they are not allowed even a choice between gen.
tility and old-fashioned simplicity For such flu
neral notices as we have referred to plainly pro-
hbit the presence of women. ..a...'
| This new freak of fashion, for it can be called
nothing else, has, far as we know, grown up
without rebuke. The first comment upon it we
have seen lies before us in the New York San.
The editor is very indignant, and says the folly
was imported from England 1t seems that Queen
Victoria merely sent her empty carriage to the
funeral of the Duke of Wellington. We think it
by no means improbable that this is true sOlu-
ton But the New Workers cannot ape any Eu-
ropean custom without running into ridiculous
extreme and therefore we are not surprised to
learn that the New York fashion prohibits mo-
Their from attending the funeral of her child.
/ Without becoming as indignant as our contem-
porary, we would say that in this matter fashion
| should have no influence either way. We believe
custom, or at least a supposed sense OF duty, mas
often forced weak and over-eXcited women TO at
tend funerals, when they should have been in as
perfect state of repose as possible. common
Sense should claim its rights, when Fashion would
dare to tread upon sacred ground
If this custom had been started to check the
morbid curiosity which takes crowds of women in
common life to the house of mourning, Gotten
where they are utter strangers and makes them
rush with indecent haste into funeral carriages, VIC
would not wonder to hear ofits success. Not long
ago, a French traveller, writing about this coun-
try told his readers that the American women
took extraordinary pleasure in seeing dead bodies
and riding to funerals. He told several anecdotes
to illustrate the truth of his observation. He no
doubt believed that he had found national pecu-
farity, although an American would be very apt
to repudiate it.
This rule of excluding all women from the sol
emn ceremony of interment, has not, we believe
reached this city. We hope it never will,

MARRIAGE WITH MUsIc.-On Wednesday the
town of Oldham presented a scene of considerable
excitement, in consequence of the marriage of the
eldest daughter of Colonel Short late of the Cold
stream Guards, to Rev James Parker Harris, for
merly Citrate of Winchfield. Colonel Short and
his family, during their residence of something
more than year in Oldham, have made them
selves greatly beloved among the numerous poor
Of the parish, so that by the latter, indeed by
the higher classes, there was evidently felt great
anxiety to witness the ceremony. The interest
ordinarily shown on such occasions was also great
ly increased by the rumor which had gone abroad
that the marriage service would be celebrated with
the aid of music. '' s..'."
At II o'clock, the bridegroom elect having
taken his place in the body Of the church, beneath
the channel arch, (the old custom of celebrating
marriages in this place having been restored by the
present vicar the bride attended by twelve brides
maids, joined him there, and the marriage service
was commenced by the Vicar of Oldham after a
short pause, occasioned by the entrance of those
of the spectators who had remained outside the
church to witness the arrival of the bridal party.
The congregation now assembled within the
church was very large indeed, and the behavior
of all, when the service had commenced, was most
quiet and orderly. The answers of both bride and
bridegroom to the questions of the clergyman
were made with remarkable distinctness. The
blessing having been pronounced, the l28th Psalm
was chanted as the bride and bridegroom followed
the officiating clergy to the Lord s table. The
responses after the Psalm were also intoned
This was probably the first musical celebration
of the marriage service in the memory of the old
est inhabitant The increased devotional effect of
the church service when unsteady performed was
shown very strikingly on the present OCCASION;
the choir, though one fvery recent formation, ac
quitting themselves creditaby. After the marriage
the holy communion was administered to the
ncwly-wedded pair, and considerable number Of
others, including several of the poor. On the re-
turn of the bridal party, the beautiful avenue of
lines, leading from the entrance of the church
yard to the porch, lined either side by girls
from the national school, comprising the two ju-
Nor classes, which the bride and her sister had
usually instructed. These being attired in white,
by the lberality of the bride, presented very
pleasing appearance, and strewed the path with
flowers before the happy couple as they returned

1t is not etiquette to talk loud, even in Parlia-

or to be hungry, or to offer to drink to person of
high rank, or to be surprised when the ladies
leave the table at the dessert To wear black in
the morning or colored clothes in the evening, is
not etiquette. To address lady without adding
her christian name, to speak to a person to whom
