"ATTrNTloN, YoUNG MENw-We perceive, by the
advertisement of Messrs, Horace L. Hegeman & Co,
Of New York, that the renowned Stimulating On
guent' invented by Dr. BellghNm for healthy
stimulation in the growth of beard or whiskers has
now had its American market confded to their
agency The high reputation of this article in Lon
dom Paris, and other cities of Europe TO have
been fully justified by experience in this country
We find that its praises are re-echoed among all
classes, A few weeks are said to prove its almost
magical influences upon the beard or whiskers. The
British volunteers have made such free use Of il as
to attract the attention of the London PmeA See

In THE DARK.-Our Gas-lght Company gave
public notice on Wednesday evening that from and
after that night the public lamps would not be
lighted again until further notice.
The reason of this is, that the City Council and
the Gas Company have failed to agree on terms up
on which tho latter shall furnish gas for the street
lamps. We know nothing of the merits of the mat
ter, and can only hope that an agreement will soon
be arrived at and the streets lighted as usual.
This disagreement of the powers that be- will
not in anywise affect private consumers They will

In this city, on Sunday morning, the 3lst ult.,
LILLE SONORA, daughter Of Thos. s., and Letitia
Howell aged about years.
Lille was child of unusual beauty, and of a
sweet and lovely disposition one whose attractive
ness won the inensost love of all her kindred How
strange, we naturally exclaim, that our Heavenly
Father should take such from us. We believe that
He nearly always does it for good; to rcbuke or
chastise some sin in us and we should profit by
every such diSpensaton.
Little Lille has been taken, in all her young love-
illness, from a world of sin and sorrow, to one of
holiness and happiness; and il ought to serve to
teach those whom she has left to be humble, re-
signed, and godly here, in order that they may
meet her there

ReR. The Jefersonidn, of last Friday-evening,
contains notice of paragraph in our paper of
that morning, in which we aimed to repair any in
justice that we might have done to Mr. Hack, in a
former article about Railroad favors to editors
That notice, however well meant it may have been,
is certainly impertinent and offensive by impica-
ton.
The editor again says that Mr.. Hack never passed
him over the road and adds that he never supposed
that he had right TO do so; and then goes en- to
say that the road is in the hands of the State and
when he rides on it he expects to pay, and unless
he has the money TO do so he wont try to ride has
no privileges in the road-never asked any, and
don't complain if he don't receive them, &C., and so
: on &C.
Now one would think, from reading this, that the
editor of the Jefersonidn had always magnanimous-
ly paid his fare on the Edgefeld Kentucky Road
but we doubt very much if he ever did in single
instance lille forgets to tell us when he says that
Mr. Hack, the Conductor, never passed him over the
road, that he had free-pass from the President
which relieved Mr. Hack of that great responsibility!
And as to Mr.. Hacks right to pass him, our neigh
Dor may with the same propriety, we reckon, ques-
ton Mr.. Cheathams. We know nothing about
their right to do it. but know it is customary for
Conductors not to collect fare from editors known
to them as such.
The very fact that the President of the f. & KY,
Company gave to our neighbor a free-pass ever the
road, soon after it was opened and never extended
such courtesy to any atache of the Chronicle shows
conclusvely the business of our complaint; and the
.Je6gsonian might very easily have admitted that
and yet vindicated Mr. Hack
Now that the Road is in the hands of the State,
our neighbor expects to pay, when he rides Well,
90 do we; and we have the advantage of him. in
having got used to paying already. 1t has never
4 been the expense of paying of which we complain
ed for that is but small NATTER but our complaint
was against an unjust discrimination in dealing out
favors.
