LUCKY AccDEST.--Yesterday as
VIM. McMain and another gentleman
were walking up Green street past
Moore y Goodall's drugstore they
heard whining sound. McMain
looked up to see what it was, when a
brick strnck him right on the bridge
of his nose. It was blown from one
!. of the chimneys, and ii it had not been
for the plug hat he wore intervening
between his proboscis and tho brick,
we should probably have had the pro-
ceedings Of a Coroner's inquest to pub
slish to-day. As it is, Mr.. McMain's ewes
have gene into mourning, bnt he is
able TO be around to-day, and in I few
days viii be as good as new; hence
we call it lucky accident.

We have never seen such continue
ously wet weather as we have had for
some weeks past and such small
quantity of water fall. The clouds
seem to be constantly weeping, but
don't gush worth a cent. A good
dashing rain would prove relief to
the monotonous drizAling rains we
now have. It has been just wet
enough to make the mud sticky and
nasty all the time.

I REVIEWER
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 it's youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean;
Itremoves all eruptions and dandruH,
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
III extreme. old age It 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, "Thc
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and [
consider ii the Best PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

Lat there Is to be no extra session of the
Legislature this month, as has been so earn
tstly urged and not without strong consti-
!::tional and legal reasons, by the Richmond
Ni$patch. But, by consultation among the
members of the Central Committee in Rich
I1ond, it has been decided to invite the Con-
serya.iye delegateS.elcct of the new icgi>la-
cure 70 assemble in that city some two or
.nrec days before the meeting Of the new ses-
son, in order to hasten organization on the
Isl day Of January. so that the vote for the
State officers may be properly counted and
ne Governor lnaugurated. We confess this
arrangement looks to us to be very irregular
md mixed, 10 say the least Of it, and to indi-
cate that something is out OF fix. Things
done in haste are frequently badly DONE

The last two sentences We commend as
peculiarly worthy Of the consideration of the
public. The arguments in favor Of clecting
clerks, speaker, doorkeepers, scrgc;nts-at-
arms, &C., &c, and then counting the vote
for the two highest State officers on and after
The 1st day of January, would be Just as
sound and conclusive if urged in favor of
elec,ing county judges after that date. The
ancumbents could hold over until their sue
-essors are elected and qualified. The nomi.
cations could be made beforehand, and the
elections finished in few days, &c.
