A MAN MARR1Es HIS MOTHER
Difficulty in haring the marriage SOL
emi-ed.-Some days ago the communi-
ty in the vicinity Of Carriers Station
was considerably exercised over, the
announcement that Mr. Lyon, who
lived in the neighborhood, had married
his mother. 1t seems that Lyons
father had been twice married, and
the children by the first wife contiD-
ued to live in the family after the Sc
cond marriage; Lyon, pere, died ieav-
ing his second wife widow, and Ly-
on, fills, marries his fathers widow.

S~ The report of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture shows that
cotton, instead of being moribund,
according to prophecy, is still King.
The crop of 1868 was larger than
that of 1859, and the home manu-
facture of it in 1853 was 45O. 600 of
pounds. againts little over 422, 900,
600 in 1859, while. the home con-
sumption or, manufacture, was
doubled in that interval. Wool,
that was to take the place of cotton,
ls pretty much as it was, mainly sus-
tanned by the tariff; while the wheat
harvest of the West are rather too
exuberant for the means of distribu-
ting them-not bad prospect for
the future-sugar shares the rise of
cotton; and fruits and grapes are
growing into a great interest every
where. The drawback of all this is
IN short, bad farming-a hasty,
Swimming fashion of. culture too
much dependent on the changes of
the weather. The remedy will yet
come, when agriculture shall be a
steady, scientific business, as it
ought 10 be.--IN. Y. Times.

A PRAYER.

Father, guide my feeble footsteps!
snrrows gather round my path
Cares and griefs assail my spirit,
Like dread ministers of wrath.
Thou alone, the hearts deep anguish.
Canst soothe and qniet at Thy will,
And to sorrows widest pillows
Softly whisper-"Peace, be still !"
At Thy throne now lowly bending,
All my cares bring to Thee:
Father, strengthen and defend me
Bid the dark dread shadows flee.
Leaning on Thine arm eternal.
Safe the thorny road I'll tread,
knowing that the sunlight waits me
When the clouds of grief have sped.

Poisoned by Hair Dye.

Shortly after the death OF Dr. d
nj. Witherwax; which occurred OF
the 18th of last June, the Scott Co.
Medical Society appointed com
mittee, consisting of Drs. W. II
Baker, Hazen, Farquarson, Cantwell
md French, to investigate the eau
ses which led to his death, it having
been the opinion of several medica.
gentlemen that he died from the eff
fects of lead poison.
The Committee, through DR.. Ba.
ker, have prepared the report, in
which they unanimously concur in
the opinion that the cause of DR.
Witherwax's death was rightly sur.
missed, and that the poison was in
troduced into the system through
the use of hair dressing or dye. For
four years previous to his demise,
DR., Witherwax had used the dress
ing almost daily on his hair and
whiskers, and frequently during the
whole period suffered from pains
which were similar to those produc-
ed by lead collie.
Mrs. Hazen and Cantwell each
made four separate analyses of the
liver of DR.. Witherwax and one of
the kidneys, and found lead in the
tissues of those organs each time.
Their report accompanies that of
the Committee.
In the report DR.. Baker as chair
man cites many instances given in
prominent medical works and journ-
oils, in which individuals have died
from diseases produced by the use
of hair dyes, in which symptoms
very similar to those manifested in
the case of DR. Witherwax were be-
trayed. Furthermore, it is estab-
lished that congestion of the brain
is not unfrequently produced by
these dyes.
1t is stated that all the numerous
hair dyes in use, except one class,
contain lead. The one exception
contains nitrate OF silver instead of
lend, and that, while it does not
poison the system, crisps and dries
the hair-to it's injury, of course.
The lead used on the hair is alb
served by the skin and thence con-
yeyed to the different organs in the
body, and effects its work of des-!
truction by poison. The magic
combs which are warranted to turn
gray hair black, are made of lead,
ind DIR. Baker cites an instance of
the death from lead poison of an in
dividual who used them.
And SO the Committee clearly de-
snonstrates the fact that the use of
most hair dyes is dangerous to life,
producing painfnl diseases, which
sooner or later result. in death. Gray
hairs are honorable, it is said-and
healthy it might be added. [Daven-
