Price rs Cents Per B

This article has been prepared with a view to SUI
persede the pernicious oils and pomades SO common
in the market, the use Of which has been almost In
yarably detrimental to the growth and beauty Of the
hair. 1t has long been matter Of regret thai no re-
liable preparation for dressing the hair as generally
available most OF the compounds used for that pur-
pose being worthless, and many absolutely worse. As
people, it is notorious that we become prematurely
gray or bald. In country are there so many gray
and bald heads on young shoulders as in this. For
this phenomenon many causes are assigned. BY
some il is attributed to mode OF life; by Others to
tina restless activity the American mind; but We
trace this public misfortunefor misfortune It is-to
the inordnate OF oil as dressing which diseases
the SCALP and alcoholic preparations which dry up or
burn out the roots Of the hair. DR. KNIGHTS
HAIR DRESSING contains neither oil nor alcohol,
and unquestionaby the only article before the pub
c that deserves the name. Its use prevents tho hair
from falling OFF or turning gray; 1t remoyes danruf,
cleanses the scalp and cures nervous headas he Its
invgorating properties insure luxuriant locks, nelin
ed to curl and its delightful fragrance and the rich
and glossy appearance which it imparts, render it
hcfayorite Hair Dressing of the most fastidious.

COMMUNICATED.
The Christmas Tree.

Chistmas eve. we took stroll up the
street, when we were taken in by living
stream, all trying to "slide up" the coasting
road. BY the use of our feet and elbows we
managed to get to the entrance of Tregas-
kis Hall, and got pretty good position in
side. After getting comfortably seated we
took peep around, and can well say that
the Hall was nicely decorated. The ladies
on the committee for the Christmas Eve
Festival deserve all thanks for their untirng
effort in making the evening pleasant one
for young and old; aud to the best of our
knowledge their efforts were crowned with
complete success. AT O'Clock P. NJ, the
commencement of the celebration, the Hall
was actually crowded, and must, at low
calculation, have contained 200 adults, be-
sides large number of children; but perfect
order prevailed. .r-.-
The programme opened with song,
"Happy Greeting" by the Sabbath School
choir, Melodion and Flute accompaniment,
Mrs. Blake performing on the former, and
Mr.. Purdy on the latter. Now, We are an
old bachelor, from way down town; but then
We have lively Imagination, and can pic
ture to ourselves the feeling of parents at
seeing their "young Hopeful" glow with joy
and casting sly glances to the Tree, oh, with
how much anticipation and for all these an
ticipatons to be gratiied happy childhood
The next on the programme was dialogue
British Sailor" by the two Masters Linch
which, in consideration of the boys being
only respectively about FIVE and seven years
old, was magnificent, and reflects well on
their teacher Next, was music by the Sill
yer City Brass Band, which also gratifed
the most sanguine expectation, anybody
could have harbored for our infant Brass
Band. After the bass drum beat its last
We were gratifed by some Juvenile eloquencC
by master Dennis Baily. Then there wa:
a song, "Happy Christmas" by the choir
here we will add, the Sabbath School wa:
assisted by several ladies and gentlemen who
did not immediately belong to that body, and
to whom many thanks are rendered hereby
"How to tell bad news" dialogue by the
Masters Linch followed, and was greetet
by a laundering applause, which the dialogue
actually deserved. Then after the Bras
Band had played "Just befor the battl,
MOTHER" Miss Louisa Blaczinger read "Tht
Fulfment of the Prophecy" in loud, clea
voice, which was highly appreciated by tn
! audience. A Song by the Masters Linch
: the Band playing "Homc Sweet Home 7
and Marching through Georgi," and choi
singing "rhe Anchor" and "Star OF tn
Evening" filled up the time till Col. Welke
delivered an address suitable to the occasion
in which he referred to the origin of Christi
anity, and also to the friend of childhood
Santa Claus" But hardly had that name
/, slipped the Colonelslips,whe that venerabl
parsonage came trotting into the Hall him
self, and was greeted by an applause whic
