TIHE following is from distinguished MEM
i Der Of the medical profession:
ST.. PAUL, January I, 1885.
Prof o. j. Wood-Dear Sir: Unsolicited,
tend you this certificate. After being nearly
bald for long time and having tried all the
hair restoratives extant, and having DO faith in
any, was induced, on hearing of yours, to
give it q trial placed myself in the hands Of
stiff brush, and the Restorative then applied
and well rubbed in, till the scalp was all
glow. This repeated every morning and in
three weeks the young hair appeared, and grew
rapidly from August last up to the present time,
and is now thick, black ard gtTong-soft and
pleasant to the touch, whereas, before it was
harsh and wiry, what little there was of it, and
that little was disappearing very rapidly. still
use your Restorative about twice week, and
shall soon have good anc perfect crop of hair.
Now have read of these things-and who has
not? but have never seen hitherto any case in
which any PERSONS hair was really benefited
by any of the hair tonics, &c., of the day and
it really gives Inc pleasure to record the result
of NV experience. / have recommended your
preparation to others, and it already has large
and general sale throughout the Territory. The
people here saw it's effects, and have confidence
in it. The supply you sent US, as wholesale
agents for the Territory, is nearly exhausted
and daily inquiries are made for it. You de-
serve credit for your discovery. / for one res
turn you thanks for the benefit it has done me,
for | certainly had despaired long ago of ever
efecting any such result.
Yours, hastily, T. w. BOND.

Prof. Wood-Dear Sir Having made trial
of your Hair Restorative, it gives me pleasure
to say that its effect has been excellent in re-
moving inflammation, dandr,ff. and a constant
tendency TO itching, with which l have been
troubled from my childhood, and has also re-
stored my hair, which was becoming gray, to
its original color. l have used no other article,
with anything like the same pleasure and prof
it. Yours truly,

AL.ttIe onalEere.s IN q Hurry.

An amusing matrimonial story IS told Of
The olden time of New England. 1t so fell
out that two young people became very
much smitten with each other, as young
people sometimes do. The young woman's
father was wealthy Quaker-the young
man was poor but respectable. The father
could stand no such union, and resoluteIy
opposed it, and the daughter dare not DISC
hey openly. She met him by moonlight
while she pretended never to have seen
him-and she pined and wasted in spite Of
herself. She was really in loye-a state
of sighs and tears which women oftener
reach in imagination than in reality. Still
the father remained iuexnrable. J
Time passed on, aud the rose Of Mzry's
damask cheek passed off. She let no con-
cealment, like worm in the bud, prey on
that damaSk check, however,; but when her
father asked her why she pined, she always
told him. The old gentleman was wild
over and he loved his girl dearly. Had
it been a widowed mother who had Mary
in charge, woman's pride never would haye
given away before the opportunities Of
daughter. Men are not, however so stub
born in such matters, and when the father
saw that tne daughters heart was really set
upon the match, he surprised her one day
by breaking out: 'Mary, rather than nope
to death thou hadst better marry who thee
chooses and when thee pleases."
And what did Mary? Wait tin the birds
of the air had told her swain Of the change
or till her father had time to change his
mind againl Not bit of it. She elapped
her neat plain bonnet on her head, walked
directly into the street, and then as directly
to the house of her intended as the street
could carry her She walked into the
house without knocking, for knocking was
not fashionable, and She found the family
Just setting down to dinner. Some little
commotion was exhibited at so unexpected
an apparitation of an heiress in the widows
cottage, but she needed it not. John look
ed up inquiringly. She walked to him, and
took his hand in hers: @John," said she,
''father says 1 may have thee And John
got directly up from the table, and went to
the parsons. In just twenty-five minutes
they were man and wife.

The PhlIosophr Of sneezlng.

Some writer of the Journal Of Medical
Reform, who has evidently studied the sub
lject thoroughly, talks thus learnedly upon
the philosophy of sneezing: d
A sneeze always indicates that there is
something wrong. 1t does not occur in
health, unless some foreign agent irritates
the membranes of the nasal passage, upon
which the nervous filaments are disturbed.
In case of cold, or what IS termed influenza,
these are unduly excitable, and hence the
repeated sneezings which then occur. Tho
nose receives three set of nerves-the
nerves of smell, those of feeling, and those
of motion. The former communicate to
the brain the odorous properties ofsubstances
with which they come in contact, in diff
fused or concentrated state; the second
communicate the impressions of touch, the
third move the muscles of the nose, but
the power of these muscles is very limited.
When a sneeze occurs all these faculties
are excited in high degree. A grain. Of
snuff excites the olfactory nerves, which dis
patch to the brain the intelligence that
"snuff has attacked the nostril p The brain
instantly sends mandate through the mot
OF nerves to the muscles, saying ''east it
OUT and the result is unmiStakeable. So
offensive is the enemy besieging the nostril
held to be, that the nose is not left to its
own defence. 1t were too feeble to accom-
plish this. An allied army of muscles join
in the rescue; nearly one half of the body
arouses against the intruder, from the mus
cles of the lips to the abdomen, all unite in
the effort for the expulsion of the grain Of
snuff. Let US consider what occurs In their
instantaneous operation. The lungs be-
come fully inflated, the abdominal organs
are pressed downward, and the veil Of the
palate drops down to form barrier to the
escape of air through the mouth, and now
all the muscles which have been relaxed for
the purpose, contract simultaneously, and
force the compressed air from the lungs in
a torrent out through the nasal passage,
with the benevolent determination to sweep
away the particle of snuff which has been
causing irritation therin. Such, then, is the
complicated action of asneeze; and if the
first effort does not succeed, then follows
second, third, and fourth; and not until
victory is achieved, do the army of defend
ers dissoi ce their compact, and settle down
into the enjoyment of peace and quietude.

Smash Up on the Southern Michigan
Rail Road.

In these DAYS of Railroads and Tele-
graphs, it seems singular that important
news should be three days travelling four OF
five hundred miles. We have had no in
formation by the mail or the wires of dis
astrous accident to a freight train, on Tues
day night last, upon the Southern Michi-
gan Road, twelve miles east of Chicago,
and three miles west of Baileyville. This
point is where much rascality has been per
petrated by placing Instructions on the
track. The freight train, an immense one
drawn by two engines, and containing a
large number of horses, emigrants and mis-
eelaneous freight, and also two new loco
motives for western road, was going west,
and was dashing along at great speed in
order to reach turnout in expectation of a
passenger train from Chicago, which was
due fifteen minutes after the accident occur
red. A tie had been spiked upon the
track intended no doubt to catch the pas
senger train.
The freight train was thrown of-the
engineers saving themselves by jumping
both engines demolished, large number of
horses killed, and an immense amount of
property destroyed. Trains were delayed
passing over the road for "a hours by the
wreck, and track had to be built around
the scene of disaster, the broken train and
contents being piled 80 feet high. No
persons were killed.
Since the above, we have the Chicago
Journal of last evening, which in speaking
of the accident, says Cleueland Herald.
The engineer, ascertaining that the track
could not be cleared in time for the passen-
ger express train from Toledo, started for
this city for an engine and cars; but on re-
turning with train of empty cars, when
within about four miles of the scene of the
first disaster, the locomotive came in con-
tact with pile of ties fastened on the
track by some miscreant, throwing off the
train, and quite severely injuring the engi-
neer.
The obstruction was doubtless intended
for the evening passenger express train
from this city. The passenger train from
Toledo being unable to proceed, was run
back to Laporte, and after the laying of a
track around the wreck of the freight train,
it came in yesterday afternoon.
1t is hoped the cold-blooded miscreant
who obstructed the track, will be ferreted
out, and that speedy justice may be done
him.
