ADIsrREssING BEREAvEMENT.-We heard
yesterday, for the first time, of an affecting
event, which occurred last week in the fam
lily of Mr.. Boughton, architect, who resides
at No. 300 South Bank alley. Mrs. Bough-
ton was engagedi in washing, and had pour
ed some boiling water into tub. AS she
turned to 60 out of the room fora moment,
their only child, an interesting little girl,
foursor five years of age, who had been
watching her mothers work, accidentally
fell into the tub, and her body was SO bad
ly scalded that she died in few hours af-
terward. This, to the fond parents, whose
affections were bound up in this, their only
child, was most distressing bereavement.

EMIGRATION ITEM.-Mr. c. H. Campen,
Emigrant Agent, reports that among the
emigrants passing this point on Thursday
night, was woman named Hanchen Bloed,
from Fursenberg, Waldecke, with her three
children-a girl and two boys born at one
birth on the 9th of June, 1859. The three
children, as well as the mother, were stout
and hearty. Their destination was Hills
boro, Ohio. The railroad men in New
York City had given them a free pass to
Loveland, and they were laden with pres
ents which they had received from passen-
gers on the road. Mr.. Campen regards the
woman as a valuable acquisition, inasmuch
as our population has been so much de-
pleted by the recent murderous civil war.

SANITARY INTELLIGENCE.

It is generally believed that health
may be promoted by boldand thorough
process of venesection performed in the
spring. The theory is that thus all the
bad blood which has accumulated dur
ing the winter, is taken away, and the
veins may be filled with anew and pure
sanguine fluid. The votaries of this be-
lief have been very industrious in Its
practice for the last few nights, and
large quantity of very bad blood has
been got rid of. The instruments used
in the operations were, however, OF
rude and primitive character, consisting
of clubs, brick-bats and paving stones
We trust that the process Will not On
continued to excess, for fatal conse
quences often ensue when too mucf
blood is taken away. The public puis'
beat very calmly and regularly yester

THE REASON WHY.--Men become
bald because they wear close hats and
caps. Women are never bald, except by
disease. They do not wear close hats
and caps. Men never lose hair below
where the hat touches the head, not if
they have been bald for twenty years.
The close hat holds the heat and perspi-
ration. Thereby the hair-glands become
weak and the hair falls out. What will
restore it? Nothing, after the scalp be-
comes shiny. But in process of falling
out, or recently lost, the following is
best: Wash the head freely with cold
water once or twice a day. Wear a
thoroughly ventilated hat. This'is the
best way to arrest the loss, and restore
what is susceptible of restoration.
