favor any measures that has the least tendency
toward pallating the hardships of the laboring
class of our citizens and as a means of accom-
plishing this object, would recommend tina

Re.Animating the Hair.

When the hair ceases to draw from the scalp
the natural lubricant which is its sustenance, its
vitality is, as it were, suspended, and If not
promptly attended to, badness will be the GER
tain result. The one sure method of avoiding
such an unpleasant catastrophe is to use Lyon 5
Katharion, which, when we'll rubbed into the
scalp, will speedily re-animate the hair and pre-
vent it from falling out Besides that. this in
imitable resuscitant and strengthener OF the
Hair nourishes and stimulates its young and ten
der ibre., removes all obstacles to their growth
in the shape of dandruf and dirt, and ultimate
ly PRODUCES new crop of hair, stronger, CLOS
sier, and twice as abundant as the old. As a
hair dressing it is notably the most agreeable,
refreshing and servieeable article ever placed
unon dressing-table.

Some enquiry for Bacon for Southern ship
ment indicates the probability of selling our
surplus Hog product All must admit that we
can sell only at low prices. Is it not better to
