TO THE m11l4ONSs
From toOthIess babes Of nImeless weeks,
Toprltting jokers in the streetsi
From girls and boys that read at school,
To office clerks upon their stoolsi
From tile budding OF love at sweet seventeen,
To the taudie explosions OF all honeymoon dreamai
From mid. way years OF man nd htsIwife,
To advancing days and .ecllning ltlei
From the spcctaced lew, who with astonishmelt gaze
At the wundrOus things OF these modern days.
Is heard this general exclamation,
HAVE YOU USED LYONS KATHAIRONY
Grey heads aud bald in concert sing
The magic OF this powerful thing,
That starts the roots OF hair long dead,
And covers up the once bald head;
While the tTuant locks, so harsh and stir,
That used to veX the pretty miss
Now around ler shoulders twirl
In such rich, IuHuTant cuTls,
= The sight OF touch, you know not which,
Sets men a SHINING and their heads bewitcld.
The Dandrun-VeXed stulf-that once did fall
O'er broad cloth COATS, and collars soil,
You number with the things that were,
BY using Katlairon on the hair.
But more than half, or all yet said,
Arc facts about the NeTrotss Head
I hat sometimes racks and aches with pain,
And DOCTORS pills are taken in vain.
Now the KathairOn, such pains lIll warrant to cure.
In ten minutes. No gossPpirg, I'm sure;
And for Pmples, Salt Rheum, Eryspeas and letter,
And all such diseases. nothing is better.
T YON'S KATHAIRON So Justly celebrated for Preserv
ing, Restoring and Beautifying the Hair, is sold by
every Druggist Principal merchant Throughout the

Five Hundred Millions OF Dollarsin the aggregate;

Millions of Dollars taxes there, and probably One
Million elsewhere. And this large sum is steadily
and rapidly increasing. asa

TnE tSIassrLoS BLSK.-The Cleveland Hetald
has the following in relation to the failure of the
Massilon Bank, which we noticed on Tuesday
morning: .sasl.4a.s i,q..5sl,..,.
failure OF Henry Dwight, JTs,of New York, and
it is feared this would effect the solyeney Of the
Bank of Mnssilon, which is one of those chartered
under the old SYSTEM lis calculation being secured
neither by State Stocks nor by safety funds. To-.
day the Banks of this city are not receiving the
bills of the Masslon Bank. 1t is said at up to
yesterday Mr. Dwight had met all thedrafts drawn
upon him by other parties than the Bank of Mas
silon.
LATER.-,A dispatch received this afternoon
states that the cashier OF the Massilon bank hid
gone to New York, and that thelteler had declined
redeeming the bills until further orders. This we
presume amounts to a final failure. ssas

THE Loss OF THE INDEPENDENCE.

We print this morning the complete details of this
dreadful event given by the journals of San Fran
CISCO The story is summary as follows The
steamer going finely in smooth water when her
course was suddenly arrested by sunken reef. She
was got off and it presently discovered that her
bottom had been broken in, and that there were al
ready eight feet of in the hold As matter of
course the Captain decided to run her ashore but to
do this properly and with the least risk to e it
necessary 10 find a safe place. during the search for
such spot along the bound and surfbeaten coast,
the water steadily rising in the hold and threaten
ipg to put out the fires under the boilers which
heated to the highest pkh in order to hurry the ship
forward; finally the TO obstruct the
fues and stop the draught, when the flaming fires which
it had not yet quencbed were forced out through the
furnace DOORS causing the conAagration and the shock
ing loss of life which ensued.
Now, there is nothing in the ease to show criminal
neglect in the running of the ship upon the reef The
Bleaching of her seems also have been dscreety con-
Quoted in every respect except in the management OF
the engine room IL is true that much may be par
doned to the state of alarm prevailing among all on
board but is expected of the officers in such case,
and of the Engineer well the Captain not to share
any such panic and to meet every circumstance with
perfect GOODNESS and foresight Every man attached to
the engine must have known the peculiar structure of
the hues and it was the duty of the chief Engineer to
reflect that the water would stop the draught before
putting the fires and to guard against such an emer-
pency Had he done so, there would have been no
CONGREGATION, and perhaps every life would have been
saved.
We know that il is comparatively easy, at distance
and with no excitement, to say what should have been
done but that does not meet the point The glory Of
good officer is to have the same command over his
faculties IN the midst of danger and alarm as if there
were nothing disturb him. All the statements go to
show that such sefpoession and Judgment were want
ing in the management of these fires. The absence of
these qualities in this has cost many lives and
carried affection into many homes.
