snd Accident on Mont Blanc,

A correspondent from Switzerland
writes of recent fatal disasters in the
vicinity of Mont Blanc:
A gentleman, with his bride and
lady friend made the ascension to the
Grand Mulets, which is six thousand five
hundred feet above the Valley of Cha
mounix. The day was so fine that when
there, urged by the ladies, whom, with a
guide, he left behind him, he started to
make the ascension of Mont Blanc.
Shortly after he left them, becoming cold,
all three went out for walk, tied to-
gether, as they always are, for greater
security in the mountain excursions.
Walking upon the ice and snow
crust, the guide offered his arm to the
wife, who had hardly accepted it when,
owing either to the softening of the
crust by the heat, or cracking from the
weight, or the formation of creyasse,
both the guide and wife disappeared, the
friend only escaping their fate by the
breaking of therope Disappearing thus
instantly in place which die danot seem
dangerous, they have never been seen
nor found, though eight of the guides, at
the risk of their lives, went down into
the crevasse sixty feet-in fact, made
attempts until the Government forbade
any more, as the lives of others were
periled for those that had been lost.
The lady who was left screamed, and
remained on the spot until the gentle
man returned to find that he had lost his
wife and bride, in the enjoyment of full
health only half an hour previously
Such are the dangers of ascending Mont
Blanc, where no amount of foresight or
experience can foretell the accidents
which may happen at any time with loss
of life to some or all of those engaged

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.
