gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling 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 a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often so un-
cleanly 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 Il 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.

part Of the harness gave way, the horse
became unmanageable, and rushed furi-
ously down the hill. At the foot of the
hill and in the branch they were both
thrown out and miraculously saved from
instant death. Mrs. B. was considera-
bly, bruised. Miss Fannie received a
pretty severe cut under her chin. No
limbs were broken. Drs. Link and
Wideman with the family soon rendered
material aid, got them to the house, and
made them as comfortable as possible.

speedy recovery, and hope they will
feel none the worse by taking u 2.4O

THE SITUATION.

The Development Of enormous
frauds in several Of the State Gov
ernments, and especially in South
Carolina, the unparalleled frauds
in the city government of New
York, and the. great corruption i'll
the administration at Washington,
seem at last to have opened the
eyes of the whole country. IL Is
none too soon. If the reign of the
public plunderer is to continue four
years more, ours will be undoubt-
edly the most corrupt Government
on earth, and the people will be
utterly ruined. Under these cir,
cumstances our line Of policy seems
to be simple and clear. 1t is to
smite the Philistines, hip and
thigh, and to war upon the thieves,
national, State, County and NUM-
cipal.
Greeley will take care of the
National plunderers. lie will be
carried into Office by great ground
swell of the whole people. outside
of South Carolina. This State
will go for Grant, with or without
opposition IF they are opposed,
the Radicals will unite and consol-
idate, and South Carolina will be
given over to be plundered and
robbed for four years moro. Ii
they are not opposed, there will be
an honest ticket and plundering
ticket. We think it best therefore
that in this State there should be
no opposition in the election for
President. Lot the election 60 by
default.
If the honest Grant Republicans
will put a good ticket in the field,
let US support it, might and main
Let the issue be, State Reform, and
down with the plunderers. Rally
all honest men, white and black,
Republicans and Democrats, to the
standard of Reform. And if upon
a plain issue of honesty and dis
honesty, a majority Of the people
openly declare themselves in be-
half Of corrupt government, upon
them will rest the heavy RESPONSE
bility of running the country.
