The st. Johnsbury Cdtedonidn says
that Notwithstanding the cold and dry sum
mer, the crops in that section of the State
are generally very good. The hay crop in
some sections was light, but in others,
taking quality into consideration, it was
nearly of usual value. The oat crop has
not been so good for years. The same is
true of wheat Potatoes are of unusual
good quality this year, and in great con-
trast to last years crop. Corn is the only
grain that there seems to be diversity of
opinion on, but it looks more hopeful
every day the growth is good, aud if rrosts
are not too early, there will be good crop
of corn. On the whole, there is every rea-
son to expect q bountfu harvest this fall.

Many Ladies

~
have very long, thick, head of Hair;
they do not wish to dress their Hair with
common Hair-0il, for in using Oil on the
Hair it has great tendency to soil their
Hat or Bonnet string, Pillow cases, &c,
and consequently they have to dress
their Hair with water; and their Hair
is SO thick and long that there is no cir.
culation of air through the Hair, and
the result is that their Hair becomes
very sour, and nothing is more mortify-
ing to Lady or Gentleman than to have
their Hair sour or musty and loaded with
Dandruff Neither do they wish to dress
their Hair with a preparation of Lac
Sulphur, Sugar of Lead and Litharge, for
it is well known by all that these pre-
parations of Sulphur, Lead and Litharle
are very dangerous mineral ingredients
to use on the head, often causing Insani-
ty, loss of Eyesight, Paralysis, and
Eruptions on the scalp.
