Every year increases the POPULAR
" of this valuable Hair Preparation
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 only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR TO It's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrOus, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, 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 new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. 4. \. Hayes, MID,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and | consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes

The Court DOcket.-In looking over the
disposal of the civil docket, kicdly furnished
us by the Clerk Of the Court,we see but little that
is OF interest to the general reader. Those di-
recllY interested in the litigation are already
aware of what disposition were made of their
cases, while those who were not directly inter
esto1 will care but little about reading the title
of the cases, followed by verdict for plG.,
verdict for deft.,' 'nolied,' settled &c. We
have therefore concluded that we could fill the
space with more interesting reading and have
acted accordingly.
Six was the maximum number Of liquor indct-
ments against any one in lividull one being the
minimum. Bat few in the county went below
the miuimum number. The fines assessed
ranged from IS to l5O, and costs. A number
plead guilty and squared np accounts, while
others are having their hearing before Judge
