A preparation so widely and favorably known as Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair Remover, needs few words of praise from us. This compound has won it's way to the highest favor in the pubic mind; and multitudes, who have vainly used other remedies for the restoration of their hair, have, on trying the Sicilian Remover been made glad by the speedy restoration of their gray hair to it's natural color and the thin locks thickened up, as in the days of early youth. It also prevents the hair falling out, makes it soft and glossy, and is altogether the bast preparation for it's intended purposes before, the public Pittsburg Chronicle. , .l H LET.

The entertainment at the old church
 last week, was all it was advertised to be. and gave much pleasure to population thirsting for rational recreation and
 amusement. It consisted of pictures and
 statuary 0iuant, tableanx, and panto-
 mines, and drew large audiences both
 evenings. A stage was built in front of
 the pulpit. drop curtain was imported
 from Farmers Hall. and piano from the
 village. We should hardly feel called on
 to criticise the particular scenes, all the performers being village people. even If
 We had seen them all and felt competent to criticise judiciously. We can say. however, that the entertainments were very pleasing and enjoyable as a whole.
 One most commendable feature we feel called on to note: the scenes came on in quick succession-the intervals not ex- ceeding five minutes in any case we un- derstand, and usually taking even less time. It is the horrible chasm between scenes-while all is chaos behind the cur tain, and doleful, hopeless expectancy be- fore it-that makes the ordinary exhibi- tion of tableaux the slowest of amuse- ments for an audience Mir. Bartlett avoided all that. The number of scenes must have been at least treble that usual ly exhibited, yet there was no appearance of hasty preparation. The music was the weakest part of the performance. : A light toned piano was so shut up within cur tains that while it was often nicely played it could not be effective. On Thursday night the regular train brought up over ninety people Gncluding fifty from the Gunnery) from down the Shepaug, who returned by special train after the per formance. The gross sum realized, both evenings, was $228. II, we hear. leaya ing a net sum of about $1OO. r@''5.. 4.r1

 We wonld like to call attention to the oecent decisions of State and United States courts on railroads. In the discus slons which ragged at the time of voting on bonding the towns to help build the s. V. R. R., we were often soundly taken to task, for advocating 1t. The arguments was, that manufacturing companies, and banking institutions, were public benefits, and therefore equally entitled to support, with railroads; and these assertions we rs deemed unanswerable. The Court of App peals, State of New York, has just decided that it IS uniformly held that the right of eminent domain may be exercised so far in behalf of railroad corporations as is necessary for the construction and opera tion Of the road, upon the ground that the road and its operation were for public nse.'' The Supreme Court, of the United States has decided that railroads are pub-s lie highways and the companies owning them common carriers; the transporta- tion of freight and passengers being public functions. This is a broad ground of distinction from manufactories and banks. And, as public highways and common carriers, they are subject to leg islative control and regulation based up- on this character. The railroad seems to be an artificial being," and has also. pri- vate, as we'll as corporate franchises. The object, however, of legal acumen is, at
 present, to find the common ground on
 which the public rights of the people, and
 the private rights of railway corporations
 can equally stand and be protected, which
 consummationi will doubtless be.reached.
 We. have just read, Mir. Murray's ad-
 dress before the New England Fair, and
 its text; Agriculture, and why young
 men have deserted it, !" with the causes plainly set forth, seems we'll worth the
 perusal of every lover and worker of the soil in the county. We wish every farm CT in the land could read it. r The capital hit at Ben Butler will be relished by every one. Aatis 3ea l1H{# .ys& 44@. .sbI W. .sf1 |
