The soldiers nc-union at Ru,lnnd.

The Grand Encampment of soldiers Git
has been finally decidcd), will be held at
Rutland, on the 9th, 18th and 9Th of Aug
ust next, under the auspices of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Quartermaster
General Lynde has rendered the use of
tents, etc, for their use. The tents used
by the National Guard of Vermont at their
recent encampment at Burlington were
shipped to Rutland on Saturday. The
Sherman band of Winooski have been en-
gagged to furnish the music for the ocCa-
sion. This is new and novel feature of
military encampmcnt,- shows the
warm bond of union formed between the
Vermont soldiers during the war of the re-
bellon. This occasion will afford an OPP
portunity to the soldiers to renew camp
life, relate the experiences Of the cam
paigns through which they passed-renew
the sports of the Camp-bind them to-
gether as compatriots in arms-and unite
them as the patriotic sons of the Republic
The encampment will possess pleasing
interest to the public generally, and will
undoubtedly draw large number of peo-
pie during the week in which it is to take
place The citizens of Rutland should
come forward promptly and generously in
aid of our resident soldiers, in order to en-
able them to give a hearty and gallant well
come to their former comrades in arms
The public will, from time to time, be in
formed of the arrangements and prepare
tions made for the occasion.

Every year increases the populari-
ty 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 its 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 nourishcs
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 a 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. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"Thc constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality
and l consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

AN OLD TINE MINISTERIAL a meet
ing of the Historic Genealogical society in
Boston, recently, an exceedingly interest
ing paper was read upon the subject of
"Clerical Lif, in New Hampshire hum
dred years ago" The paper was founded
upon the diary of Rev. Timothy Walker of
Rumford n. H., who died in I've, after
serving as pastor there for fifty two years.
lie was educated at Harvard college. and
then settled at once at Rumford, which is
now part of Concord. Mr.. Walker kept
diary for many years, and it shows very
graphical the method of living at that
time, which does not precisely coincide
with the ways of to-day. When the news
was received that Burgoyne was marching
on Albany he was in the pulpit preaching,
it being Sunday. The messenger announ-
ced that the English troops might be cut off
if the New Hampshire men under Gen.
Stark would march ut once. Accordingly
Mr.. Walker stopped his sermon long
enough to annouce this fact to his audience
which he did urging all men present to go at
once. Nearly all of them did go, and he
then resumed his sermon to the women and
children. 1t is not in the patriotic spirit
that the difference lies between then and
now, but in the way in which they lived day
after day. Mr.. Walker had salary OF
Sl5G year, on which he maintained COM
Portable existence and supported family.

considerable land, the most of which he
used for raising tobacco, although he sold
a gold deal of cider every year too. On his

The women pretend that they are in

At the depot, Monday evening, an eager
looking man jumped from the train and
clasped a waiting woman in his arms.
"Heavens! my wife," said he. "Mercy

You can always tell boy whose mother
cuts his hair. Not because the edges of it
look as if it had been chewed off by an alb
sent-minded horse, but you tell it by the
way he stops on the street and wriggles his
| shoulders. When fond mother has to cut
her boys hair, she is careful to guard against
any annoyance and muss by laying sheet
on the carpet, 1t has never yet occurred to
her to sit him over bare floor and put the
sheet around his neck. Then she draws the
| front hair over his eyes, and leaves it there
while she cuts that which is at the back the
hair which lies over his eyes appears to be
surcharged with electric needles, and that
which is silently dropping down under his
shirt band appears to be on fire. She has
unconsciousy continued to push his head
forward until his nose presses his breast,
and is too busily engaged to notice the
snufiing sound that is becoming alarmingly
frequent, In the meantime he is seized
with an llgses;st;;tbiie desire TO blow his nose,
hut recollects that his handkerchie fis in the
other room. Then a fly lights on his nose,
and does it so unexpectedly that he involun-
tarily lodges, and catches the points of the
shears in his left car, At this he common
ces to cry and wish he was man. But his
mother doesn't notice him. She merely hits
him on the other ear, to inspire him with
confidence, and goes on with the work.
When she is through she holds his Jacket
collar back from his neck, and with her
mouth blows the short bits of hnir from the
top of his head down his back. lie calls her
attention to this fact, but she looks for II new
placl on his head and hits him there, and
asks him why he didn't use his handkerchief
Then he takes his awfully disRgured head
to the mirror and looks at 1t, and, young as
! he Is, shudders as he thinks of what the
| boys on the street will say.

REMARKABLE CAsE.-A remarkakablc
surgical operation has been performed by
a Paris surgeon in removing the brain of a
dead saloon-kceper to the head of live
convict, who, after remaining in sleep
ing condition for several weeks, comes to
himself-or rather comes to the other
mans thinking the thoughts of the
saloon-keepcr, naming his customers and
friends and so far personating him as to
place the authorities in doubt as to whether
he shall he executed agrecably to sentence
or whether he shall he recognized as the
dead saloon-keeper having come to life
again If it is fact that one mans brains
can be changed to another, successfully,
the operation might well he performed in
some cases in this vicinity.

Robbie,s sold the Baby.

Robble's sold the baby
Sold her out and out !
AndI' have to tell you
HOW II came about.
When on New Years morning
Robble's opening eyes
Spied the bran-new baby
What glad surprise
Constantly he watched her,
Scarcely cared TO play,
Lest the precious baby
Should be snatched away.
He 1t was who named her
"Becky" "Betsy Ann :"
Told what he would buy her
When ne was man.
Now he's gone and sold her
For to-day he ran
And proclaimed to mamma,
Eyes, I've found a man
Here's the man'll buy here
Get her ready, krlck ~
With an air Of business
Brandlshlng stick.
"SOld my baby, Robbie 2"
Mamma sadly said
Robbie, quite decided,
BObbed his little head.
"Wcll, II this man buys her,
What VIII he give yOu?"
"Oh, two nice, big horses,
And iiye pennies too !
"What's the good of babies
only 'queal and cream
can 60 hOrSe-backln'
when get my team ?"
But when quite night came,
RUbbic'S prayers were said,
And he looked at baby
In her little bed.
And he said, when baby
Smiled In some sweet dream,
"She's wurf forty horses,
stead OF Jess a team 20
Baby's wee pink fingers
Round his own he curled
"She's wurf all the horses
In dis whole big world ?"
