All people would undoubtedly prefer a
fine head of hair grown upon their own
heads, to being bald, or wearing false hair
and it has been the study of many of our
learned men to find a remedy to restore
the hair when it has fallen cut, and renew
its color after it has become gray. Such
aremedy has been found, and is now offered
to the world under the name of Halls
Vegetable Sicillan Hair Remover; and, to
verify this statement. read the following
This is to certify that was very bald /;
in fact, my head was perfectly smooth !;
and it is common in my family to grow
bald early in life. l have now used four
bottles eff Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair
Remover; and the hair has grown out all
over my head, and is now . natural brown.

VILLAINY.

Crime, like the cholera, it seems has
become an epidemic. Every phase Of it
has q periodical run. One week criminal
negligence and disregard of human
life horrihes us with a quick succession of
Revere Rail Road slaughters and West
field steam boat explosions. The chap
Ter of the next reeks with the blood of the
suicide, the murdered, and the victimized
female unfortunate. The history of the
succeeding is highly spiced with startling
scasations of frauds, ~malpractices, bur-
g~laries, arsons, defalcations, Investigations
and punishments. The out-crop of a
thick vein Of villsiny is now apparent
everywhere and in every thing. In Off
ees Of grave responsibility when great
public interests are to be guarded, a
npacious greed for money has generated
smoral corruption, as fatal and contagious
Is the pestilence Of the Gauges. The
magnates of Tammany-the official rulers
Of New York City-havep lundered alike,
It's wealth and poverty, to the amount of
millions, and they can now find consola-
tion from the fact. that the expense of
their enormous v~illainies is supplemented
by John w. Norton, Superintendent of
Postal Order Bureau of the New York
Post Office who appropriated $4,000
and the robbery of near a half a million
