SENTENCED TO MARRIAGE.-A case recently
tried before the ClOnmel (Irish) Assizes was
brought 10 a singular and novel termination by
the presiding judge. The parties in the case
were young man and young woman. both of
whom Claimed possession Of a rural property,
one by virtue Of an ancient lease, and the other
under will. They were in court for the pur-
pose Of giving their testimony, when a bright
idea occurred TO the judge, who interrupted the
case TO say: "lt just strikes me that there Is a
pleasant and easy way to terminate this law suit.
The plaintiff appears TO be a respectable Young
man, and this very nice young woman.
Laughter. They can both get married and
live happy on this farm. II they go on with law
proceedings IL will be all frittered away between
the lawyers, who, am sure, are not ungallant
enough to wish the marriage may not come off.'
The young lady, on being Intercepted, blushed
and said She was quite willing 20 marry the
plaintiff. The latter, on being asked IL he would
wed the young woman, CALAMITY responded,
Most undoubtedly" The judge remarked that
the suggestion occurred 10 him BY instinct on
seeing the young couple. A verdict was subse-
quently entered for plaintiff ON condition OF his
promise TO marry defendant within two months
stay OF execution being put on the verdict tiIi
the marriage ceremony II completed.

6N.aSSG9 Hair

Every year increases the popularity
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 perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by it's use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates 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
economical HAIR DREssING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, 9 The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and /
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

supply and Demand Regulate Pri-


The Democratic orators and editors
are making a terrible howl about the
low price of produce and labor, and
charge that it is the result of misman-
agement on the part of Gen. Grants
Administration, but they never assign
any special acts of Encouragement
that have the effect to reduce the price
of produce and labor, but charge in
general terms, that it is owing to
Grants corrupt Administration. Now
reader, is this true? What has the
administration to do with this, unless
it is upon the theory that this admin
istration has been the cause of filling
the country with more produce than
was ever in the country before. Upon
this theory, and this alone can the ad-
ministration be charged as producing
the cause of low prices.
There is, in truth, but one cause for
the present low prices of produce
and that is solely attributable to
the unusually abundant crop all over
the country, and that too is the cause
of the low price of labor. Everybody
knows that when produce is very
abundant and there being no foreign
demand for it, producers are com
PEELED to pay correspondingly low
price for labor. This is upon the prin
cipie of commerce that supply and de
mand always govern prices.
But we suppose if the Lord had seen
proper to have withheld his mercies
from US, and given US the fourth o
a crop, or even down to point of star
vation, these same everlasting politica
croakers would have charged the cause
to Gen. Grants Administration, anC
gone all over the country denouncing
the administration with stealing; witt
a want of sufficient capacity TO govern
the country; and poor old Greeley
would be giving lessons upon what he
knows about farming There would
| be just as much reason and common
sense in this, as there would be in
charging the present superabund
ance throughout our broad and
Heaven favored land, (and consequent
low prices, to the administration OF
President Grant, and nobody thinks
of giving the administration credit fol
the unparalleled abundance ofevery-
thing to sustain life that has been pro
duced in the year of 1872.

Discord--The Alliance in Missouri
Disrupted by TFeachery.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 21.-The circular
of E. W. Pttmam, chairman of the
Liberal Republican State Committee,
referred to in our dispatches, is address
ed. to the members of the Liberal State
Committee as the views of it's chair
man. Its drift that the Liberal Re
publicans separated from the old party
on the theory that the time had come
when old party lines should be obfiter-
ated and a readjustment of political
divisions should take place, based up
on the issues of the day, and not for
the purpose Of becoming part of
the Dem ocratic party, for the purpose
of obtaining the spOils. The Liberals
and Democrats entered into an alliance
against common enemy, and their
purposes were clearly understood by
the Democrats, and that a co operation
for their attainment forms the essen
tial condition of alliance; that when
ever, in any locality, Democ rats take
steps calculated to weaken the Liberal
party and throw obsticles in its way
by making nominations without con
sulGing them, they become enemies. In
view of these facts, and in view of the
further fact that in various counties of
the State the Democrats have not CO.
operated with the Liberals in nomina-
tions for Legislature, and Congress,
and county offices, but, on the contra
ry, have made ond intend to make
their own nominations whenever they
Eelieve they are strong enough to sue
ceed without the Liberals, he Pittman
believes that the Liberals should rec
ognize in such Local Democratic or
CARNATIONS as may pursue this faith
less policy enemies to be deteSted,
even though the success of the Repub
lican ticket should be the result. Mr.
Pittman states that if these views do
not accord with those of the commit
tee, and they desire it, his resignation
is at their disposal.

On last Saturday the Grant Club OF
Deerfeld raised a pole 200 feet high,
and celebrated the victories in Maine
and Vermont in an Appropriate manner.
We have the further cheer NJ news
from this immediate locality, that after
the stirring speech of DIR. Scott bfeore
the club last week, large additions were
made to the club some of whom had
been pronounced Democrats, and many
of whom had been regarded as ''doubt-

- In Mr.. Greeley's speeches as he
came on his electioneering tour West,
he assumed that there was a
portion of those who had been in re
bellion against the government, that
were not yet permitted to vote at our
elections. Mr.. Greeley knows this to
be false, and he resorts to this kind OF
Misrepresentation for the purpose of
making the people believe that the Re
publican Administration wish to OPP
press the Southerners, and to with
hold from them privileges that they
have by their acts forfeited This is
untrue, and is little to low for man
who seeks the highest office in the gift
of the people to stoop 10. There is
DO man I'm the North or South who
had the right to vote before the rebel
lion that has not the same right now,
and all can go to the polls and vote if
they choose = even Jefferson Davis
who has the same rights under the
existing laws to go to the polls and
vote that Mr.. Greeley has. True.
there are few men who held high po
sitions in the government, and had
taken an oath to support the Constitu-
ton and laws of the United States,
but who by their rebellious acts com
mitted perjury, cannot hold office. ard
even this privilege was withheld from
them at the lest session of Congress
by the votes not of Republicans, but
by members of the United States Sen
ate who now support Mr.. Greeley for
the Presidency.

- John W. Sohn went into the Gin
cinnati Convention with Judge Stallo
of Cincinnati, and when the corrupt
bargaining of dishonest politicians was
consumated in the nomination Of Gree
ley, both left the Convention cursing
Greeley as they went.
Judge Stallo made speech at ST
Louis last Monday night where lie re-
affirmed his opposition to Greeley by
saying "what was base in it's inception
at Cincinnati must be base in its out
come" He spoke of Greeley's candi
dacy as the candidacy of one "who
seeks to buy his right to take the Pres
idential oath of Office by promise of
violating that oath so soon as taken
What Stallo says now, Sohn said sub
stantially few short months ago The
political situation has remained un-
changed; yet while Stallo is still de-
nouncing the corrupt bargain which
killed the Liberal movement at Cincin
natl Delacourt is leading Sohn over
the District as the Copperhead candi-
da;e for Congress.
Is Judge Stallo an unthinking fool,
because he adheres to his first convic
tions, or is Sohn a trading politician
beca use he has changed his Hamil-
ton Telegraph.
