This is an age Of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude Of the
svil caused by the use Of injurious compounds
Tor the hair, which are prepared and forced
INTO market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of the
injury they are producing. These prepare
lions have been analysed BY competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent Of the Bos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been q sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than a
quarter Of century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for 1t, without a possibility Of injury.
"I have tested a sample Of DR.. Greenes Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
Injurious matters erist IN it.
1T JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use Of this Hair Restorer for twenty
Ave years has tested its superiority as a dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. It removes
dandruf, prevents the hair from falling off,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, Dr.
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. 1t is
prepared by DR.. r. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at
81 per bottle, or six for SIS, or sent by ex-
press to any part of the country. Pamphlet
sent free. Address DR.. r. Greene, "a Tenn

cupied by Mr.. Flagg as furniture and coffin
warehouse. At the time the alarm was given
it seemed that the whole of Main street was
to be swept by fire, and this was only prevent
ed by the almost superhuman efforts of the
fire company, and something more tangible
than the mere thanks of the inhabitants of
Richmond, and the insurance companies in
terested, is due to this company for their la
bors in the preservation of property. Mr..
Flagg's loss will be about 500. Insured in
the Hanover and Home Companies of New
York. Mrs. Irving's loss on furniture will
be about 500. Not insured.

HvpocHoNDRIAsIs is one of the most diff
cult to treat successfully of all nervous
diseases. Reasoning with nervous or hypO-
chondriacal and insane persons rarely proves
serviceabie. The mind cannot be overcome
while the nervous system is irritable. In
many instances, the derisive laugh at the I'M
fortunate or the more temperate appeal to the
reason is absolutely injurious, by exciting
further irritation in the mind of the sufferer,
who thinks his advisers either unfeeling OF
incredulous towards his complaint Under

Hiram Mace of Pennington, the notorious
horse thief, who was arrested in this vicinity
on Saturday last and lodged in Jail, was taken
to Pennington yesterday by the city marshal,
for trial. He is an old offender, and stealing
horses seems to be with him passion and a
delight. He simply steals horses because he
likes to; the value of the horse is of no ac-
count if it is only horse. He has recently
gone for very cheap game, stealing almost
worthless horses and giving them away, in
some cases. just now he is playing insane,
but that is too old dodge to go down.

Cherry Pectoral,

For Diseases Of the Throat and Lungs.
such a. Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine, has anything won so widely and SO deeply
upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most Of the races Of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
Of the lungs and throat, have made It known as
milder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most eecfual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro-
vision against sudden attacks Of Group, it should
be kept on hand In every family, and indeed as all
are sOmetinQeS subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them,
Although settled C0nsunspttOss Is thought in
durable, still great numbers Of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PICTORIAL. SO complete Is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate Of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
tOrat they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from 1t.
Asshma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured bv taking the
Cherry PICTORIAL In small and frequent doses
SO generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

A Man Murders His Wife, Attemps to
Kill His Two Sons, And Commits suicide.


Kill His Two Sons, And Commits suicide.
New York, 23. Felix Dairy, a truck driver
aged 40, living in tenement house on East
10th street, murdered his wife this forenoon,
and then made an Intellectual attempt to kill
his two sons, Bernard, aged II, and Hugh,
aged Q, and committed suicide. The sons
state that their father had labored under fits
of mental arrangement for over six months.
They had been trying for some time to get
him into the insane asylum, and expected to
place him there yesterday, but it was post
pOned till Tuesday. The father evidently
suspected the fact and appeared quiet last
night. This morning, soon after the family
got up, the father took common table knife
and sharpened it as he went towards the door !;
his wife interposed to prevent him from going
out and a struggle commenced. Both sons
caught hold and attempted to get the knife
away, but the father became frenzled and
drew the knife across his wifes throat, iand
then turned upon his sons who escaped. The
father then drove the knife twice into his
throat.
