One night during camp meeting week, says
the Gardiner Reporter, some one entered the
barn of Mr.. Cyrus Rundlett of East Pittston,
and stole therefrom nice harness, and por-
ton of an old one. Mr.. Rundlett, after en-
deavoring for some time to find his property
without success, gave up the chase, and con-
cluded he was harness out, and the thief a
good one in. On going to his barn on Tues
day last, he was somewhat astonished to find
package on the floor, and on opening the
bundle found every piece of his property re-
stored to him. Whether it was the fear of
detection, or troubled conscience that caused
the return of his property, Mr.. r. is still in
doubt.

This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude of the
evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
for 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
tions 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 o sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than o
quarter of century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer win do all that is
claimed for it, without possibility Of injury.
81 haze tested sample of DR.. Grsne's Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
injurious matters exist in it.
c. T. JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use of this Hair Restorer for twenty
Ave years has tested its superiority as dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in healthy condition. It removes
dandruff, prevents the hair from falling of,
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. It is
prepared by DR.. r. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at
81 per bottle, or six for S., or sent by ex-
press to any part of the country. Pamphlet
sent free. Address DR.. r. Greene, "a Tenn
pie Place, Boston, Mass.

| Slayin, the murderer, whose escape from
the penitentiary at st. John, N. b., we have
| heretofore chronicled, has been arrested at
Vanceboro, Me-, to which place he had
walked on the track Of the +. & N. A. Rail-
way. He purchased a pair of socks at store
in that place, and paid silver for them. His
| ignorance of scrip, which was offered him as
| change, and of which he knew nothing after
| his thirteen years imprisonment, aroused
| suspicion. He maintained that his name was
Chambers and that he was on his way to his
home in Montreal, having lost his money at
the st. John boat race. A revolver pre-
sented at his head brought out the acknowl-
edgment that he was Slavin, and he was
handcuffed by the custom officer at Vance
boro', and sent to Machias Jail, from whence
he will be taken to st. John under the extra
dition treaty.
The Boston Journal says that the returns
from the Caucuses thus far held vary some
what even in the Republican papers. A care
full revision of those received at this office up
to to-day show the convention so far as elect
ed to stand as follows:
Whole number elected, 1871
Anti-Butler, sos
Butler, 331
Anti-Butler majority, TIA
The towns to be heard from are largely in
Berkshire, Bristol, Middlesex, Worcester
and Norfolk, and will give a large anti-Butler
majority in the number to be elected.
| The Butler men are putting out the most
ridiculous brags and estimates-even to the
extent of claiming more pronounced Butler
men than there are anti-Butler men. This
is in keeping with the brass band and torch
! light performance which they have provided
| for the night preceding the Convention. It
Twill deceive no sensible man and will change
no votes. The fact stands fast that Butler is
in large minority to-day, and will be when
the Convention meets. If he were not, he
would not resort to these desperate measures
to attempt to carry the Convention.
