How TO LOOK YOUNG-SIXTEEN.-
Don't paint or Use vile Hair Rcstorcrs, but
simply apply Hagan's Magnolia Balm
upon your face, neck ind hands, and use
Lyons Kathairon upon your hair. The
Balm makes your complexion pearly, soft
and natural, and you can't tell what did it,
1t removes frecklcs, tan, saIlowncss, ring
marks, moth-patchcs, etc; and in place of
u red, rustic face, you have the marble
purity Of an exquisite belle, 1t gives to
middle age the bloom Of perpetual youth.
Add these effects to splendid head of
hair produced by the Kathairon, and a
lady has done her best in the way of
adornment. Brothers will have no spins

HELD To BAHIA party Of four young
men visited the house of Mr.. Miller, on
Caldwclls run, yesterday morning about
three o'clock, and behaved themselves
very unhecomingly One Of them, CWil'
liam Taylor,) was arrested and taken be-
fore Esqr. Schultz in the afternoon TOR cX-
animation. Mrs. Miller, daughter, son,
and Charles WagenkncCht, were sworn as
witnesses. They testified that the party
came to AIllIer's and commenced kicking
the doors, demanding admitAnce anu
something to drink. They were refused
both when they continued their demon
STATIONS to such an extent that Mrs. NJ.
CMr. NJ. being slck,) called to her assis-
lance WagenkneCht, who resides short
distance away. As Mr.. ". was coming
to Millcr's, he was met by the party and
a fight ut once cnsucd. It's scarcely ncccs-
sary to add that against such odds Wagon
knccht came of badly wOrstcd. His head
and face bore evidence yesterday Of the
rough handling he had received.
After hearing the testimony, Justice
Schultz required Taylor to give bond in
the sum of $500 for his appearance at the
next (Novcmbcr) term Of the Circuit Court.
This he had not been able to secure at
the hour We left South Wheeling.
