Shaded by sun bonnets,
Prayed At the edges!

Seeking the berries--

No sweeter heritage

Facts CONCERNING Hair.
FROM the Lafayette QInd.) Daily Courier ]

From the Lafayette (lnd Daily Courier
In all ages and countries the hair of woman
has been regarded rs her chief ornament.
The various methods adopted for its preserva-
ton and the promotion of its growth, have
wholly or partially failed. But Chevalier's
Life for the Hair has been found to be reli-
able beautifer and invigorator of the hair.
Those who have tried it-and their name is
legion--bear testimony to its efficacy in beau
tifying and imparting healthy growth to
the hair, such as no other preparation Is ca
pable Of doing.
1t has been analysed and found to contain
nothing but vegetable matter, indeed, some
of which we use daily on our tables, and BY
the medical faculty, rs well as by every one
who ever used it, is pronounced the finest
preparation ever used on the toilette for
identifying the hair
When the hair from various causes turns
gray, and comes out, indicating disease, this
wonderful preparation restores 1t to its orig
inal color and softens the scalp, gives new life
to the roots, and by constant application,
even in the aged, 1t will work admirably.
We recommend 1t with pleasure, from our
own experience, and from testimonials rom
the highest authorities in this country, which
we have now before us.
The Life for the Hair is made under the i'm
mediate supervision of Sarah A. Chcvalier
NJ. D., practicing physician OF New York,
and well known to the medical faculty OF that
city, and eminent all over the world. Drug
gists vend it from Maine TO California
A treaties on the hair by the same eminent
physician can be had free by mail or gratis at
any drug store, on application. Send for 1t.

The GOLDEN AGE OF JoURNALIsM.-
The Philadelphia Day has ventured to
put into print under the himsy guise OF
prediction, the dream SO dear to every
reporter in these times of 'enterprlslng
journalism. 1t has blated out to an un-
appreciative, perhaps condemning pup
lie, tie secret longings of every repofte-
rial soul. 1t has laid bare with rude
hand the sweet visions of the good time
coming when life will indeed be worth
living, and when "the possibilities OF
Jour nali.m" will lie unbounded. For its
conduct the Day deserves the heaviest
censure, II has acted like tht
little boy who. tells unmsntionable
things to his SISTERS beau, aud, like
him, it ought to ba spanked and sent TO
bed without any supper. The mischief
has been done, though, and our readers
may as we'll have the benefit of it.
After speaking of the Worlds attempted
hoax about Louis Napoleon, the Day
says:
The possibility of still higher achieve
meujs III journal SUI, of which mention
was made moment ago, relates to the
manufacture of facts as part of the
business. The child is probably living
which shall see Thuggery engtafted
upon journalism. Each enterprising
newspaper will employ corps OF in
dividuals to furnish every kind of sem
salion which cultivated taste can de-
mand. One phalanx will, in dull times,
post its members on street corners, and
kill some unoffending passer-by; or e.ze
an infant or two from the mothers
arms, and fling them under the wheels
OF the street cars. Others will set fire
to crowded tenement houses. Others
will indulge in the innocent pastime OF
hi -hway robbery; aud so on. These
things are now done a la PIckwick.
But in the golden age of journalism,
every paper Will probably contain Re.
ports of six or ten astual murders, rob
berries and IncenuiAry fires; and their
fole gn correspondents will as'assinAte
a pOteutate or two every mouth, 10 keep
up the interest of their letters.

PARDONED.-At the December term,
1869, of the Circuit Court of Wood
county, James Sans was convicted of an
attempt to commit rape upon the per-
son of Catherine TetaIs, and was fined
SIS and sentenced to confinement i'll the
county Jail for six months. From the
facts which have come to the knowl-
EDGE of the Executive, it is almost GER
tain that the young man had no idea
of committing an outrage on the per
son of Miss Tetars, and that the sur
rounding circumstances were such that
the intention, if any such existed, could
not have been carried into execution.
Therefore, because of his previous good
cbsacter, and because the ends of jus.
tice have been subserved, he having al
ready been in the Jail fer four months,
the Governor on yesterday granted
Sans an unconditional pardon.
