STATE JOURNAL AND

An Unusual Oircumstdnee.-The Phila- +
delphia American of Monday, says: ln the
Baptist church in Second street, near Ger
man, yesterday morning, the rite OF INNER
sion was received by well known resident I
Of Southwark who has passed the seventy
eighth year OF her age. What IS remark |
able in the case is that the lady has been q
protesting ChriRtian, and a communicate OF
the Presbyterian Church, for more than
forty years. She does not leave that COM
munion, but felt prompted by duty TO be
bnptised by immersion. The clergyman
who offlciRted made the occasion special
one for her benefit, and informed the con
gregation that she was the Oldest person for
whom lie had performed like service. Some
of the ladies had endeavored to dissuade the
postulant from her purpose, fearing the eff
lects of the shock produced by the cold wa
ter, upon her nervous system, but the old
lady would hear OF no delay, and was firm
! in her purpose.
Shocking Murder.-A shocking murder
was committed near Perrymansville, Md,
on Saturday week. A German named George
Pinder, who arrived in this country, from
Bremen, in June last, accompanied by his
son and leaving his wife in Germany, was
sent to the woods by his employer to get
load of wood, and took his son with him.
/ Pinder returned without his son, and the
boy was discovered shortly afterwards lying
in field, nearly dead. Word was left at
the house and Pinder was sent TO get the
boy, and went accompanied by a little girl.
When he came 10 where his ion was lying,
he beat him with large stick and picked
HIM up and threw him violently to the
ground. Tho boy was then taken 10 the
house, but died in a few moments. The
J brutal father has been arrested and lodged
in Jail.
Business 0Aange.--Mr. Charles Smith hal
: purchased the stock and fixtures Of tn,
Barber shop formerly owned by Edward b
Francis, adjoining our Office in. the States
: man Building, and intends to give his bes
. personal exertious toward serving the forme

THE HAm.-Read what Elder D. II. Tay.
lor of Rouse's Point, N. Y, says on the
hair. 1.-THE human hair, bleached by age,
fright or disease, can be fully restored to its
natural color without dyeing it. My case
illustrates this statement Faithfully. My
hair for seventeen years has been gradually
growing white and falling out; but, lol in
a short time l have back my old auburn
locks. My hair is as firm as when young;
this has been accomplished by the use of
Halls Vegetable Siciian Hair Remover. 1t
does its work rapidly, is cooling, healing,
and, In my case efiectuallY, without harm
to brain. body, or general health; this can
not be said of any other preparation sold.
/ do not know the wonderful ingredients,
but do know experimentally, and by OBJ
seIvatlon in n score OF casos, that it is most
marvelously transforming compound. Heads
of sixty-fye are changed by 1t TO the color
OF youth" The proprietors, r. z. Hall
& Co., Nashua, N. H., will sell to clergy
men at Wholesale prices.

GENERAL GRANT.-A Washington correspon-

General Grant was to-day On the floor of the
House in conversation with Mr.. Wilson, of Iowa,
chairman of judiciary Committee. In converse
ton with some OF the Radical members, he stat
ed, with reference to the subject of his going to
the Paris Exposition, that che would moi be
found ten hours away from this city for year TO
come" He spoke of the Presidents late trip as
a mistake, and said, in substance, that no man,
however distinguished or venerated, could depart
from the right track and carry people with him.
In reply to one of the members that he General
Grant would be dropped quicker than hot po-

bcrs speak of his conversation unequivocally
in favor efthe congressional policy. He favored
the confirmation of General Dix, as he was less
Objectionable than the next nominee would be,
military man, and that the Senate would be
forced into the position of appearing unfriendly
to soldiers interests. He said thai General Dix
was not wholly averse to Congress. General

The report that bill was to be introduced to-day
providing that he should be appointed acting Pre-
the President, and the revival OF Mr.. Nelson's re-
solution declaring that the impeachment and re-
moval of the President were necessary, are sup
posed to be among the reasons why he was pre-
sent. These may also account for the fact that
not single Democratic member was seen topay
