For restoring to Gray Hair its

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it viii keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

A Dog Story,

"Out in the mountains is pleasant little
valley, through which a beautiful stream is
seen winding its crooked course In one OF
these turns stands an old saw-mill, with its
dam attached forming quite pond, deep, clear
and beautiful, with its banks reflected beneath
its smooth surface.
On warm day in July lS, seated in a
skiff, were gentleman, in the prime Of life,
and his young 'helpmeet.' holding their wee
baby boy, the former propelling the bark, en-
joying the refreshing Summer air. By chance
there happened to pass that way lady of col
or, followed by her 'unfaithful cur, which
made frequent attacks upon certain hen-nests,
tssthe great annoyance Of his mistress. She
requested the gentleman to take summary ven
geance' on the 'dorg' by drowning him, and
release him from further watching ever said
hen-nests
Pulling ashore, he succeeded in persuading
the 'dorg' aboard" and striking into the mid
die of the stream, cast him adrift; but instead
of drowning, made him propeller Of the
boat, by seizng his 'caudal' extremity, and,
strange to relate, they proceeded, $50 merrily'
towards the shore, to the great amusement Of
parties present. After this novel feat, the
'lorg, was allowed to live on as before

giving an account of the panther which has been
prowling near that place for some time, and
battles all attempts at capturing the monster.-
However, it is to be hoped that success will
crown the efforts of some brave 'denizen of the
woods His hide would add an interest to
some of the County Fairs next Fall. No doubt
this is the same animal which, according to
statements Of some worthy old citizens, has
been passing through this section for number
of years.
Well we cannot boast of anything very won-
derful, except a tremendous large deer, which
has been frequently seen in this vicinity for
several years. He is known as the 'Big
Buck" and is little too sharp for all the
hounds in the neighborhood.

For the Spectator.

Mr.. Editor The County Court has been
celebrating for months about bridge over
Middle River. There was every reason for re-
building it at Hundley's, where the County,
apart from its expenditure on the bridge, had
incurred nearly as much expense in construct
ing new roads, of several miles in extent on
both sides of the River, to connect with it.
This would have been a useless expenditure, ii
the bridge had not been replaced. That point
is the central one to all the northwest part of
the County, and the one on which the bridge
should have been placed. The writer under
stands that Mr.. Geo A. Hundley of Richmond,
despairing Of anything being done soon, with
public spirit and generosity which the public
is beginning to appreciate, has contracted for
the rebuilding OF the bridge at his own COST
[ repeat that bis course is commendable, and
the future will show that he has not reckoned
without his host. A stranger in the County,
as is also his brother who manages the proper
ty, he erected frst-class mill, and promptly
repaired the very serious damage it sustained
by the washing off of the bridge, part of
which lodged against it that might otherwise
have escaped. He induces custom, by selling
the -four of his patrons at Richmond free of
commission, and has in short time established
an enyiable reputation for his brand Of four
A member Of the Baptist denomination,
he promptly opened one floor of his
mill on the Sabbath to fourishing school.
which the brother resident superintends, and
where the Revs. Mr.. Walker and Fletcher fire.
quently preach at his solicitation.
In every way, both the brothers have shown
themselves to be worthy of the confidence and
patronage Of the people of the County. If
they will pardon the suggestion, the mill can
be made suitable point for post Office, and a
few acres laid off and sold to energetic and in
dustrious mechanics, and encouragement given
them to build, will make it convenient to the
neighborhood. One other idea is this. that
every year the number of persons from the
lowlands is increasing, who desire to find qui-
ct place where they can spend the Summer Mr..
Hundley, within the range of his own acquain-
tances can find enough to fill large sized estab-
lishment for three or four months, after which
time, the building could be put to profitable
account for school, male or female, as might
be found most suitable. At future time, Mr..
Editor, with your permission the writer may
have more to say about improvements on Mid
die River.
