ness thus brought against the FErF Pass.
Our readers know that we have steadily de
clined to bring matters into the discussion
which were outside Of the plain ~su, before
us-an issue not at all of our seeking. We
have RETAINED from all personal charges o1
insinuati0ns concerning the advocates %; the
movement. We have admitted some Of the
points claimed by them, to an extent which
has drawn upon as rebuke from some of the
women of Vermont. for c5ncedng TOO much

discussed the subject Mrs Lucy Stone
Blackwell, when here. bore olea and dis
tinct testimony. and we have not changed
either our views, or our mode of expressing
them. since She was here. We have indeed
permitted the use Of our columns To writers
who have written in q different style.
But it s surely not necessary to reiterate
that the sentiments Of our correspondents
are their own not ours Publishing the
only paper in this county, We are
bound to open our columns freely

This Dye is warranted superior to any
ever discovered for imparting a beauti-
ful. natural Black or Brown Color to the
Hair. 1t is warranted not to injure the
hair. : It's effect is i'm tantaneous. Any
one can.apply it. 1t preserves and beau
titles the hair. The BARRIERS universal
ly pronounce it the best, because it takes
less time to dye. Because it imparts a
natural color. Because it does not stain
the skin and bed linen. Because its ap-
plication is so simple.

Hog Law Decision.

John Brown vs. d. p. Erwin, Police
man: Case of Replevin.-This cause
came up for trial on the 10th day of June
last, and after a long and interesting
argument upon the legality or illegality
of the Hog Law passed by the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen of Columbia, from
which this suit sprang, and from all the
proof and law read to the Court, the
Justice, S. ID. Herndon, decided that it
was not "a part of his business, whether
the Hog Law was constitutional or not.
He did decide, however, that it it is the
law at present; and will remain the law,
whether wise or unwise, until it is re-
pealed by the Board that created IL, or
set aside by higher tribunal; and as
such law he must support it until it is
set aside or repealed. The Court fur
Their declared that John Brown had not
transgressed the law, and was entitled
to the possession of his hog.
QHery-The above action being re-
