HALLow-EvE.-This morning we
notice the usual obseryances of hallow-
eve by the small boys and girls of our
village. Shelled corn scattered about
profuseIy, barrels and boxes displaced,
vehicles unluckily left on the street
have changed their base and other dep
relations committed, show the enter
prise of our young folks. Young ladies
speculated upon the best method of
telling their matrimonial fortunes and
all the vagaries Of the evening were
freely indulged in by grannies and
children. A necktie party given by
Miss Annie N, afforded an oppor-
tunity for conference on the part of the
less -superstitious, and we slept as
soundly as usual. = NJ

gloss and freshness of youtk. 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 of, 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 un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterioHs 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 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 rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

At Titusville new oil well has been
discovered. A correspondent from
that vicinity says that for nine hours it
'sfiowed q stream of beautiful amber
and rose tinted oil, OF sixteen degrees
gravity, as large as a stove pipe, at the
rate of four hundred and thirty-seven
bbls. per hour. The oil is so heavy thatit
formed a perpendicular column of six
inches in diameter that would push its
way up several hundred feet into the
air. when becoming partially melted
by the suns rays and overcome by its
weight, it would break off near the
ground, and fall over like an immense

CHERRY PECToRAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and, cases of Consump-
ton, cured by this preparation, are public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be-
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners Of more serious disease, 1t saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount Of suffering
not to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise 10
be without it. As a safeguard 10 children, amid
the distressing diseases which beset the Throat
and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PEcrnRM
is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi.
tudes are rescued from premature graves, and
It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
full Bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product Of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection, L may be confidently re-
Hedupon as possessing sllthe virtues II has ever

memorable as the greatest II has ever effected.

KU-KIux,

The Detroit Free Press thus replies
to the stories circulated by Radical
papers concerning the Ku-Klux:
General Sherman went South and
pronounced the Radical stories about
ku-KluX outrag IS only so many silly
falsehoods. Horace Greeley followed
him, and Horace Greeley says in SUBJ
stance they are all abominable lies
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher travelling
in another direction in the South, SAYS
the same thing, and now we have the
evidence of Harriet Beecher Stowe,
of g Uncle Tom fame. She writes
from her Florida home and charges
the Ku-Klux stories with being wan
ton and malicious falsehoods. She
says the people of the South are as
honest and as peace&bly disposed as
those of the North. These are all ev-
licences from those who have not been
blessed with :" copper-head predi-
lections. They may not know as
much as Congressman Stoughton,
from the Second District of this State,
but they are, nevertheless, tolerably
intelligent persons, persons, speaking
from facts before their eyes, and not
from hearsay evidence. Their asser-
tions. all go to show that there was no
necessity for the passage of the infa-
nous Ku-Klux bill. They all 90 to
show that the Radical party, in seek
ing to continue its existence by pub
fishing the most wanton lies upon the
people of one-half of the Union, is
not deserving the confidence or sup
port of an honest, patriotic man in the
land.

The Radicals in their platform re-
peat their condemnation of the policy
of granting subsidies of public lands
to corporations and monopoIies. How
much confidence is to be placed in
this self-condemnation? Last year
they denounced the same thing, and
yet kept right on in their scheme of
plunder. For the last: ten years. the
Radical destructives have had the en-
tire, unlimited control of all the de-
partments of the Government, during
which time they have given away to a
handful of monopolists 200000,000
acres of land which belonged to the
whole people, and all these acts OF
p1under have been sanctioned and ap-
proved by the President whom they
fully endorse. In view of these facts
What does their repeated condemna-
ton of this policy amount to while
they keep right on in their plunder-
ing schemes? ..e

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Journal Of Commerce, writing from
Savannah, Georgia, says:
CT know of case where a former
negro field hand was sent to the Leg
islature. He remitted his salary to
his old master to keep for him and
support his family during his absence.
He commenced by sending a few dol
lars week, but in short time his
weekly installments reached hundreds
instead of the usual tens of dollars
Tne surprised ffduciary wrote his
ward that he hoped he was as honest
in the Legislature as he was on the
plantation. The intelligent legislator
answered in explanation that the
! boss had paid him sums varying from
twenty to three hundred dollars each
fer votes given on different bills"

GENERAL SHERMAN mentions, in
conversation, that everywhere he
went on his recent tour of inspection
he met with warm reception from
the people, especially in Louisiana
and Texas. The Governors of those
States informed him that the peace
and order therein would compare ia
vorably with any period before the
war. There is quite contrast be-
Tween this and the assertions of the
Radicals who seek to justify their ar
fbitrary and despotic legislation by
representing that life and property are
entir ely unsafe in that section of coun.
try. Either they or General Sherman
and the Governors of those States are
guilty of bearing false witness

The Confederate BondhoIder's Hopes Re-
vi

viViug.
One consequence of the Treaty of
Washington has been to revive the al
most extinct hopes of the Confederate
cotton bondholders in the ultimate
success of their claims against the
United States. They held a meeting
in London yesterday " to consider the
course that should be adopted" If
there was one document that most
people believed to be of equal value
with a Confederate ".shin-plaster,"
it is Confederate cotton bond but
the hondholders refuse to believe in
the hopelessness of their case. Sue
cessive governments have been MEM
oralized by them with the view of Sc
curing from the Washington admins
tration a "calm Consideration of
their claims, which rest, they allege
on moral equity and international la ".
The bondholders believe that one of
the articles of the treaty, which pro-
vides for the reference to a mixed
commission of the claims of British
subjects arising out of the war;" ex-
actly meets their case, and they have
been courteously informed that it will
be "quite open to them to lay their
claims before that tribunal, if it should
meet.-MGnchester (Eng.) Guardian

Isn't that another evidence of dis
loyalty? According to Radicalism the
fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, rel
atives and friends of those who died
in the Confederate service have no
right to express sympathy for the de-
parted or seek to perpetuate their
memories. 1t is set down by them as
ali evidence that they don't accept the
situation.
The office of Lieutenant Governor
is empty of both trust and emolu-
