The bill increasing the compensations OF
District Attorneys was passed by the House
on Thursday. by adopting the report of the
Committee of Conference receding from the

AS the bill passed both branches of the Leg
islature, the fees of District Attorneys are as
follows, viz: Drawing Indictment and pros
ecuting case in the Oyer and Terminer, $40;
bill returned ignoramus in the Oyer and
Terminer, $5 /; drawing Indictment and pros
ecuting offence in the Quarter Sessions, So

The bill heretofore negatiyed by the House
to increase the pay of Associate Judges, was
reconsidered on the same day, and passed fl
nally. The amount of compensation is gradu-
ated ac, ording to the number of weeks the
Judges occupy the bench. In cases when they
sit the smallest number of weeks, the increase
will be but $5 ia the years salary. When
they sit thirty weeks or more they are to re-

Ge HAIR RESTORATIVE Every one
will we think, agree with us in the opinion
that the human hair is the greatest ornament
that is possessed either by gentleman or
alady. just meet an apparently good looking

Now, to prevent such catastrophe, is

hair is not only prevented from falling off or
turning grey, but the article will restore hair
10 bald places and even if it has changed
color and become grey it will bring it back to
its pristine beauty and luxuriance. Those who
are acquainted with the anatomy, physiology
and pathology of the hair, must be we'll aware
that certain substances have a specific action
upon it and it is by judicious combination
