in Ohio, in the Guernsey Court of Com
mon Pleas, Mrs. Frances Watt recently re-
covered 81, 500 damages from one Boyd for
selling her late husband Intoxicating drinks.
The husband was at one time L prominent
physician and surgeon, and had represented
his county in the Ohio Legislature. Failing
into iEtemperate habits, he lost his practice,
squandered his estate, and finally died from
the effects of intoxication. The widow
brought suit, alleging that Boyd, the de-
fendant, continued during all this time to
sell and deliver to hel' late husband intoxi-
eating liquor in quantity from one pint TO
one quart, causing him to become an habitual
drunkard and incapable OF attending to any
kind of business; and claimed s., 900 dam
ages, for which amount she asked Judgment
at the hands of the jury. Alter argument
BY able counsel on both sides, the jury re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff, assessing
damages at 50, 500.

The Buffalo Railroad.

But little has been said in reference to
this contemplated road for some time Now
that the Legislature is in session, an effort
should be made to have the charter granted.
This road will pass through section of
country that is, as yet, comparatively will
derness. Large bodies Of the best pine
timber in the State, grow along the route,
while bituminous coal and other minerals
in great abundance lie beneath the surface.
All that is wanting to make this one of the
richest portions of Pennsylvania. is the IA
cIllty to transport this mine Of wealth to
market. The building of a road from the
SuSquehanna river to Buffalo, we believe,
will furnish the desired outlet Besides be-
coming source of wealth to the owners of
the lands along the route, the increased val
uation of property will add greatly to the
revenue of the State in the way of taxes,
and hence viii be great and lasting benefit
to the people of the whole Commonwealth
In view of these facts We hope united eff
fort will be made to secure, this winter. the
necessary legislation to insure the building
of this great thoroughfare at an early day.

One of the latest Democratic jokes arises
over the fact, that a large 5rowd of masked
horsemen took ten negroes out of the Union
county jail, in South CGrol!ua, and murder
ed them. OF course, the masked horsemen
were not Ku-klux, but We would not be
surprised if Democratic journals will dis
cover that they were all negroes. South
Carolina is getting up little work for the

Rhode Island adheres to her prescription
of foreign. born citizens. The Senate, after
considerable discussion, has rejected, by a
decided vote, a proposition TO amend the
constitution, so that naturalized citizens can
vote without owning real estate. As the
law now in force stands. she requires them
to own real estate to the amount of Sl34 as
a condition of letting them vote-a condi-
tion not exacted of native-born citizens.

pcct TO accomplish this fall, is the elec-
tion Of good and competent men of
their own choice, to all the county
Offices. They want men who are CON-
peteut, and who will discharge the du-
ties of their respective Offices them
selves. They have become sick of this
deputy system. IF men do not want to
discharge the duties of an office, them
selves, they shonld not permit any Ring
to place them in nomination because
they are supposed to have strength, for
the sake of getting fat deputyship in
the operation. The people will not
longer permit such specnlations in the
public offices. We think we see a de-
termination among the people, that not
only the Treasurer elected this fall must
be man who will discharge the du-
ties himself, and keep the funds and
the Office at the county seat where they
belong and where people have a right
to expect to find them; but that all the
offices shall be filed from the ranks Of
the people by capable and honest
men. We shall see.

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR-DREssING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
Md, State Assayer of Massachu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and l consider it
the BEST PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

quickly and effectually accomplish
this result. 1t is easily applied,
and produces a color which will
neither rub nor wash off. Sold by

gloss and freshness Of yo,sth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, thoughpot 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.
It's 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 un-
cleanly 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 grateful perfume.
