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-
ton of dahdruff. which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterioIs substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
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.

AN IMPORTANT CASE DECIDED
This was writ of entry, Geo. w.
Cahoon and Wife against E. S. Coe,
for ten thousand acres of land in
Wentworth's Location. The defend
ant, Coe, claimed the land by virtue
of quitclaim deed from David S.
Greenough, and the plaintiff claimed
title by virtue of tax sale of Chas.
Bellows, Sheriff Of Coos County, made
upon the State Treasurer's warrant of
1S49, and sold July, 1850. The case
was tried at Colebrook, Feb, 1871,
His Honor, Judge Foster, presiding 4;
the case went to the jury, who return
ed verdict for the plaintiff; the coun-
sci for def. filed an exception to the
sale, the case was then transferred to
the Supreme Court a hearing was had
at Haverhill, and was there very ably
argued by Bingham & Ray for plf''s,
and the Heywoods for def. This case
was continued to the July term al
Lancaster, without giving an opinion
the case was there heard and the
court decided that eight out of the nine
exceptions were not well taken, re.
serving the ninth for further consid'
Grafton, to be re-argued orally at Con.
cord this was heard and very ably
argued by Bingham & Ray for pllfs
and Heywoods for def. The court
listened very attentively to the ar.
guments and after considering the
case, decided that the ninth exception
also was not well taken, so the YER
dict below was sustained and Cahoor
& Wife recovered. Judge Ladd who
drew the writ for the plfis. and Judge
Bellows who is relative OF the plffs
did not take part in'the case.
This is the first tax sale by a Sheriff
that has ever been sustained in this
State and will 60 very far to give
confidence to sales for taxes by Sher
ifs and Collectors, and is of much i'm
portance to citizens of Coos County
where so much depends upon thu
validity Of tax titles.-Cor. Ind. Ga

To make the Centennial Celebration
such a success as the patriotism and
the pride of every American demands
will require the cooperation of the
people of the whole country. The
United States Centennial Commission
has received no Government aid. snch
as England extends to her Worlds
Fair, and France to her Universal
Exposition, yet the labor and respon-
sibility imposed upon tie Commission
Is as great as in either of those under
takings. 1t is estimated that ten
millions of dollars will be required.
and this sum Congress has provided
shall he raised by stock subscription,
and that the people shall have the
opportunity Of subscribing in proper
ton to the population of their respec-
tive States and Territories.
The Commission looks to the unfaiI-
ing patriotism of the people of every
sectlon,to see that each contributes its
share to the expenses, and receives
its share of the benefits of an enter
prise in which all are so deepely inter-
ested. 1t would further earnestly
urge to formation in each State and
Territory of a centennial organization,
which shall in time see that county
associations are formed, so that when
the nations are gathered together in
1876 each Commonwealth can view
with pride the contributions she has
made to the national glory.
Confidently relying on the zeal and
patriotism ever displayed by our peo-
pie in every national undertaking. we
pledge and prophesy, that the Cen
tennial Celebration will worthily show
how greatness, wealth and intelligence
can be fostered by such institutions as
those which have for one hundred
years blessed the people of the United
States.

President.

need of more intelligence among far
mers. They should real and think
more. Every farmer should become
acquainted with the nature of his own
soil and ascertain what fertilizers are
required to reproduce the elements ex-
hausted by crops. There should be
the same progress in farming that there
is in other branches Of business. The
great aim should be to ascertain how
to get the largest crops without inn
poverishing the soil. We should be
more ready to abandon the old rou-
tine followed by our fathers, when it
was evident we could improve upon
it.
Jas. W. Weeks, Esq, said the far
mer should be man of intelligence
and observation. His occupation af-
forded him an opportunity for improv-
ing the mind far above that of the
shop hand, who worked at some sim
pie business until he became 4 mere
machine, unfit for any business requIr-
ing the exercise of the intellect. He
agreed with the previous speakers in
the matter Of hiring help, and advis-
ed farmers to give their undivided at
tention to their farms and not have
other and outside business occupy
ing their time, and taxing their mind.
He believed it was all important that
our forests should be preserved, and
replenishcd, to prevent the soil from
becoming barren. When the country
was new there was not the necessity
for head work that now exists, in con-
sequence of the soil becoming de-
pleted by continuous cropping. Far
mers should learn to replace the ele-
ments exhausted.
S. A. Way inquired if the real rea-
son our soil was fertile and fruitful
was not because our mountains had
the effect upon the atmosphere to pro-
duce rain. In regard to book knowl-
edge IN farming, he believed it was a
humbug. The reports and other Ag.
ricultural works were written for Other
sections Of the country, and would
not apply to New England. He be.
lieved that to make a successful far.
mer u person wanted but little educa,
ton, as it would incline him to other
pursuits. He had found that the most
successful farmers were the least ed
ucated.
, The remarks of Mr.. Way met Will
decided opposition from nearly al
the other speakers. Judge Week!
> cOntended that hooks were q grea
help in any business. Although i
f would not do to depend upon then
. entirely, the mechanic, as we'll as TIN
t farmer, would get much assistance b,
; consulting the standard works upol
the branch Of industry in which h
h was engaged. Mr.. Crawford belev

AN ADDRESS
BY THE
United States Centennial Commission.
BY THE

United States Centennial Commission.
To the people Of the United StateS.
The Congress of the United States
has enacted that the completion of the
One Hundreth Year of American indie
pendence shall be celebrated by an In
ternational Exhibition of the Arts
Manufactures and Products of the
soil and mine, to be held at Phladel-
phia, in 1876, and has appointed a
Commission, consisting Of represent
atives frome each State anil Territory,
to conduct the celebration.
Originating under the auspices Of a
National Legislature controlled by a
National Commission, and designed
as it is to Commemorate the first
Century of our existence, by an Ex-
hibition of the National resources of
the Country and their development,
and of our progress in those Arts
which benefit mankind, in comparison
with those of older Nations" it is to
the people at large that the Commiss-
ion look for the aid which is neccessa-
ry to make the Centennial Celebration
the grandest anniversary the world has
ever seen.
That the completion of the first
century of our existence should be
marked by some imposing demonstra-
ton is, we believe, the patriotic wish
of the people Of the whole country.
The Congress of the United State has
wisely decided that the Birthday of
the Great Republic can be most fit
ingly celebrated by the universal col
lection and display Of all the trophies
of it's progress. 1t is designed to
bring together, within building COW
ering fifty acres, not only the varied
productions of our mines and of the
soil, but types of all the intellectual
triumphs of our citizens, specimens Of
everything that America can furnish
whether from the brains or the hands
of her children, and thus make evil
dent to the world the advancement oil
which self governed people is cap,
able.
In this celebration" all nations
will be invited to participate; its
character being International. Europe
will display her arts and manufacture
les, India her curious fabrics, while
newley opened China and Japan will
lay bare the treasures which for cen
turtles their ingenious people have been
perfecting. Each land will compete
in generous rivalry for the palm o.
superior excellccne.
TO this grand gathering every zone
will contribute it's fruits and cereals
No mineral shall be wanting; fol-
what the East lacks the West viii
supply. Under one roof will the
South display in rich luxuriance hel
growing cotton, and the North il
miniature, the ceascless machinery o.
her mills converting that cotton into
cloth. Each section of the globe will
send its best offerings to this exhibi
ton, and each State of the Union, as
/ member of one united body polite
will show to her sister States and tC
the world, how much she can add tC
the greatness of the nation of which
she is q harmonious part.

The Lewiston Journal for 1873,

Among the Weekly papers of Maine
designed for general State Circulation
none more completely fills the ideal
Of what comp: ehensive family ne,US
paper should be than the Lewiston
Weekly Jou,nol-a paper as large as
the New York Weeklies, and for the
purposes of Maine readers much more
acceptably filled. While of course it
is the duty of every citizens to sub
scribe for his own local county paper
(because no other paper can supply
its place in the matter Of local news
and local interests), yet in these days
most families find it convenient to
have a second paper of a more general
character, which shall give them more
in detail the news of the State and of
the country at large, as we'll as of
other countries.
This is precisely the field occupied
by the Lewiston Weekly Journal, which
stands in the front rank of Maine or
even New England newspapers. AL
though decidedly Republican in sem
timent, yet its political convictions
are expressed so courteously and fair
ly as to command the respect of those
holding different views; while its high
tone and entire freedom from often
sive personalities and exceptionable
reading, make it well adaped to every
freside.
The Journals news summary, both
general and State, is unsurpassed it's
Agricultural Department is complete !;
its literary matter of choice character
and in good variety its Children's
useful and entertaining while its re-
ports Of all important gatherings, and
its correspondence, are unsurpassed.
In work, next to ones own county
paper, which all should patronize, The
Journal is the paper for every Maine
man at home or abroad. 1t is large
forty-eight column paper, and is fur
nished at only$2,0 90 year in advance !;
or it will be sent on trial three months
for scots. Specimen copies forwarded
gratuitously on application.

FATAL ACCIDENTAL special tele-

that D. r. Streater, with Mrs. Cyrus
Brainerd, his sister, and his two little
daughters, aged five and two years, in
buggy, when descending hill near
the crossing of the A. & G. W. Ry.,
the horse frightened at the sight of
an approaching train and upset the
buggy, throwing them all out. Mrs.
Brainerd fell on the track and was
killed instantly by the driving wheel
of the engine mangling her head and
chest completely out of shape. The
others fell outside of the track. Mr..
Streater is injured in the head, but not
seriously. The younger child is se-
riously, perhaps fatally injured, an
arm being broken and the flesh lacer-
ated, besides other injuries. The older
child was but slightly injured.

about 16 years, residing with his
mother on Cleveland AVenue, while
engaged in rounding cheese-box heads
at the factory Of AIessrs, Al. @. Chap.
man & Son, accidentally got his right
wrist caught in the buzz saw at which
he was working, which cut frightful
cash entirely across the wrist, sever
ing the arteries and mangling the cords
in horrible manner, The wound is
a serious one, but it is hoped that the
young man will not lose the use OF
his hand.

CAUTIoN.-It is claimed by smokers
that there is not the least possible
danger of setting anything on fire
from the burning stump of cigar
The contrary YVES demonstrated few
days ago. While two of our fast
young men were returning from Kent
in an open wagon, one of them was
smoking cigar, the stump of which
he threw out, not minding whore it
lit. They had driven about half a
mile when they smelled something
warm, and looking about they found
the straw int the vehicle all ablaze
and 1t was with some difficulty that
the fire was extinguished. So smok-
ers, beware where you throw your
old stumps.

ACCIDENT.-On the Fourth Q young

came very near receiving a serious
wound from the bursting of a gun in

Farmers are now in the midst of the

will not be full one. The grain crop
will be an average one, The oat crop
is promising mneh better since the
rains came, but new enemy is now
looming upon it, and will perhaps Sc.
riously disturb its prospects. The
grasshopper is now upon us, and will
| without doubt cut the oats very much.
The potato bug has also disturbed
our peace much and the future ten
years are extremely gloomy. more SO
! than the past.$ The past thirty seven
/ years the grasshoppers were among
us as follows: In ,35 they came and
did much damage in 40 they re-
/ turned in '46 they returned in 80
very few were among Jus, hut in 81
they were in full force again; in '56
they appeared again in '6L and '66
they were again in great numbers +; I'll
was the year for their return, but
Ithey did not come; IL also passed
without their return, but this year
they are here in great numbers. In
'78 we may expect them again, and
during these five years we may expect
the potato bugs to remain among us.
Then about 1880 we may expect the
locust to come in great numbers, and
in 1883 we may expect the grasshop-
pers. So that for the next ten years
the consuming insects will be upon us.
This afternoon we had a very heavy
thunder shower. The water fell 81
inches deep on the ground.
