world to greater degree than the astonishing
effect of Woods Hair Tonic upon gray dry,
harsh and thin hair. Try it, reader, and one
bottle only will convince you that this article

living illustration of the value of his own
article. He was gray at thirty years of age,
and now his hair is black and glossy as the

VISITATION OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE.
On Friday Of week before last, July
the 5th, occurred one Of those strange,
peculiar phenomena, which it becomes
our painful duty to record. The morn
ing of the 5th dawned bright and
lovely upon the we'll moistened earth,
and nothing in the surrounding atlnos-
phcre Indicated so sudden and startling
Il transaction as was about to occur
TO be sure, small cloud was noticed
in the north, still, as the air seemed
tranquil, no one feared q catastrophe,
aud rested in easy quiet and in fancied
security.
In less than an hour 4 person was
seen riding in hot haste, his counte-
nance indicating extreme satisfaction,
and L. Rem Padghanl-well known to
our readers as the accomplished and
accommodating agent of w. L. Gay
lord, was married in little less than no
time. May God have mercy on him,
and bless his little wife, and may MS
household never become Tenant-less.
n. B.-The cloud mentioned above
passed over without doing any partic-
ular damage.
