gloss 07ad freshness of yoasth. 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 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- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy lustre, and grateful perfume.

Yours asking the result of my experiment with
Magnum Bonum is to hand.
The Fertilizer was applied to corn ut planting
May 5th, with machine, lwheat drill, with all
tubes but two removed,) deposting same with
2Sth was applied broadcast Of same manure iw"
hundred pounds per acre, ploughed in at last
working of corn The first application acted ci
finely, causing the crop to push with vigorous
growth second to none considering the diilcrcnc"
as to time in favor of its competitors. The second
application made when the corn was beginning
to suffer for rain was entirely satisfactory in ita
results, producing a steady, rapid growth and
development throughout the season, and full
remunerative return at gathering The Magnum
Bonum ranks among the best manurcs ever used.

This article in composed of Pure Ground Bono
dissolved in Sulphuric Acid, Animal Matter and
Potash.
It contains no heavy mineral substances such
as enter into the composition Of most of the arti-
cles sold under the name of Super Phosphates
and consequently the bags in which it is packed
though as large as any other, contain only l6l
pounds, thus saving to the farmer at least % per
cent of weight in the same bulk.
1t has less inorganic matter than those articles
which are based on Rock Guano or other heavy

hurtful as those who can be with great propri-

croakers are in no business. have not a dollar s
worth of property in the city, and yet with
solemn countenances, the pretended wisdom
of Solomon, and the importance of an Aston,
they predict the speedy downfall Of every
scheme which has in view the prosperity and
advancement of the town. They seem to
have been INDUCING in rip Van Wrinkle
sleep, and appear to forget that this is an
age of progress What Alexandria needs
now, is energy and the free and liberal chang

better attained than by the erection of build
ACKNOWLEDGMENT is given TO the mechanic
the builder finds good investment for his
money, and foreign merchants are induced to
come here on account of the cheapness of
stabbing our town in its vital part. Not an
improvement is suggested that some do not try
to throw cold water upon it. Such are always
the loudest in wishing Alexandria to prosper:
to become great commercial mart, but as
soon as there seems to be desire to advance
to wake up and be doing, they too often turn a
cold shoulder. These remarks have been in
duced by what has recently been said, perhaps
thoughtlessly, in regard to the new Corn Ex-
change" and the HALL on King street, &c.
1t is hoped, however. that remarks such as are
sometimes heard will not deter enterprise, but
that all our citizens who can, will invest their
money in the city, and by so doing set an ex-
