| approaching silver wedding OF III. on0
Mrs. E. w. Smith: Our readers will ind
in another column the invitation, of Mr..
and Mrs E. W. Smith to their friends, 10
assist them in celebrating the 25th ami
verssry of their married life. They sre
determined, apparently, to make the 90
casion worthy of the anniversary. We
notice that pavilion is being erected In
their grounds and understa nd that their
whole place is to be illuminated with
Chinese lanterns and colored lamps. This
will undoubtedly be one of the finest par
ties in ever given in Ludlow, and viii
mark an era in our social circles.
Mr.. Smith has maintained the difficult
position of the railroad agent, ut this
place for years. While he is always the
conscientious and faithful officer of the
railroad Company, he is the courteous and
obliging railway official under all circum-
stances. He has seen Ludlow grow from
a small Station on a new and unimport-
ant railroad to it's present position, one of
the most important stations. on one Of tho
greatest thoroughfares of new England
travel, during his connection with the
Rutland and Burlington railroad.
CHEsrER.-Mr. George Davis IL ereot-
ing large two-story dwelling house near
the junction OF Grafton and Williams
street.
During the past week Major Will
liam Rounds, railroad commissioner, has
been engaged in examining the condition
Of the road bed and rolling stock Of the
Grand Trunk Railway. in obedience to o.
resolution passed at the last session Of the
legislature.
In reading the article upon hair dyes
which appeared in the HERALD Of Aug.
Both, we were reminded Of q ludicrous
circumstance which happened in . neigh
boring town. A yonns gentlemen whose
flowing locks reminded one Of the AeFy
furnace" applied to a friend for the best
mode Of giving a darker shade TO his hair.
Tho young pupil had been previously
pointing out the particulars of . lecture
he had heard, and which was upon the
nature Of the hair. A solution OF nitrate
Of silver, he said, no had no doubt would
have the desired effect. Now whether
he designed this advice a. . trick, or
whether the prescription was the Of
feet Of ignorance, We cannot cay.
Tho solution was, he ssid, to
be used in considerable quantity In short
he WAS to wash tho whole head in this
huid. Accordingly the Young gentleman
applied it on going 70 bed, and put on his
night cap comfortably. only = little wet |
On washing his head with the solution, |
the fluid naturally wetted the greater
part of his face, and whatever part Of the
skin it touched, it left sits mark" The
next morning tho victim was first seen BY |
his brother, who believing him sufYsrin z
under suffocation. OF some terrible dream.
alarmed tho whole house. The alarm,
however, soon subsidized in all eSospt the
mortified patient, whose hce was the
color OF an old shoe. The skin received
no injury BY the solution, exospt that Of
discoloring. viii ch cannot be removed by |
any means for some weeksl The skin
grows grad ually red before it disappesrs.
Tho young man is in a truly deplorable
state, s'nd seldom speaks, except to utter
CURSE. upon the head Of his hair sdviser
He informs his friends that tho process
Of ''Peeling" is not in the slightest degree
p .inful, but rather unpleasant to his feel
ngs and pride.
