You can always tell a boy whose moth CT cuts his hair. Not because the edges of it look as if it had been chewed of by an absent-minded horse, but you tell it by the way he stops on the street, and wriggles his shoulders. When a fond mother has cut her boys hair, she is care full to guard against any annoyance and muss by laying Q sheet on the carpet. It has not yet occurred to her to sit him over a bare floor, and put the sheet around his neck. Then she draws the front hair over his eyes aud leaves it there while she cuts that which is at the back The hair which lies over hls eyes appears to be sur charged with electric needles. and that which is silently dropping down under his shirt band appears to be on fire. She has uncorsciously continued to push his head forward until his nose presses his breast and is too busily engaged to no- tice the snufEling sound that is becoming alarmingly frequent In the meantime he is seized with an irresistible desire to blow his nose, but recollects that his hAndkerchief is in the other room. Then . ny lights on his nose, and does it so un- especially that he inToluntarily lodges, and catches the points of the shears in his Left ear. At this he commences to cgy and wish he vas a man. But his mother doesn't notice him. She merely hikz him on the ether ear, to inspire him wlth confidence, and goes on with the wuxk. WheA she is through she holds his lne&na cellar back from his neck, and wI1A her mouth blows the short bits of A@zx froz the top of his head down his h&e&- He calls her attention to this fact. but nAne looks for new place on his head aa1 kiks him there, and asks him why he dsanT use his hnndkegchief.

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. It removes all eruptions and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop critics, prevents the hair from falling out, as it stimulates 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 a new growth, except in extreme old age. It 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, , The constituents are pure, and care fully selected for excellent quality; and I consider it the BEST PREPA- RATION for its intended purposes"

RILBOURN'S NEW YEAR SONG.

This is 8 song, for the people to sing,- Who have bank notes, and that sort of thing 'Tis sung thousand times or so, By the patrons of the great show
 At Kilbourn's Store. Friends came not here to talk. Said the cunning Spider to the Fly. Cotton, Sugar, Cheese and Chalk, l s'pose you know that cash will buy,
 At Kilbourn's Store. On Linden when the sun was low, Poor Harry Gill was very cold Tall oaks from little acorns grow, And boots and shoes are cheaply sold
 At Kilbourn's Store. At midnight, in his guarded tent, The boy stood on the burning deck, And every time that Mary went, Of cash she made a perfect wreck,
 At Kilbourn's Store. In slumbers of midnight, the sailor boy lay, With his fingers weary and torn, For he had been to the Station that day, And his pennies were faded and gone,
 At Kilbourn's Store. 'Tis madness to defer-be wise to-day Our Pilgrim Fathers, where are they? You can make your lives sublime, And departing leave your stamps behind
 At Kibourn's Store. When Potatoes hang on the trees, And apples are dug from the ground, And all mankind do as they please. We'll cease to shout the joyful sound
 Of Kilbourn's Store January, 1878. 5Otf

If flash of light could have been shot over Danbury just as the rain commenced to descend, Sunday night, it would have revealed the most astounding sight ever witnessed here. It is estimated that three hundred bare-legged men and boys, and about two hundred inadequately clothed women were at one time struggling across wet stoops and through impenetrable dark ness with most astonishing variety of tubs, boilers, pails and barrels to catch the rain water. Everything that could be employed for that purpose was brought out, and as there had been no rain in six weeks, and the stoops were slippery, and there was no time to lose, the natural confusion of legs, language and utensils was something remarkable. One man on Franklin street who was dashing out doors with two tubs and a boiler, lost his fOothold, ,ssand sliding across the stoop, went of into an open hatch-way, down & stairway and halfway across his cellar, the tubs and boilers arriving about the same time. It was some twenty minutes before he could converse. A feshy gen. tleman named Hayes, lest his balance while on chair to fix the conductor, and fell into q tub that he didn't know was there, and the neighbors were obliged to carry both himself and tub into the house to get them apart; job that was consid- erably aggravated by the promiscuous profanity and abuse which he leveled al everybody during the operation. A boy on Stevens street ran against portico post with such force as to render him un. conscious, and the moment he came to he conceived the idea that his father had kicked him. As he didn't run backward againt the post the impression appears all the more remarkable. There were other accidents the same night, but wha renders the affair peculiarly painful, ii the fact that not one woman was is any way injured. We don't understand that -DGn6Wry Ne,cs

So mild as to be safe and beneficial to children, and yet so searching as to effectually purge out the great cor ruptions of the blood, such as the scrofulous and syphilitic contamination. Impurities, or diseases that have lurked in the system for years, soon yield to this powerful anti dote, aAd disappear. Hence its wonderful cures, many of which are publicly known, of ScrOfula, and. all scrofulous diseases, Ulcers, EruptiOns, and eruptiYe dis orders of the skin, TumOrS, BlOtches, BOils, Pimples, Pustules, SGres, St. AnthOny's Fire, Rose or Erysipe- las, Tetter, Salt Rheum, Sc;lld Head, R1ngWOrm, and internal Ul- OA CAC 0EOA11slcN. and Liver. It also cures other com, plaints, to which it would not seem especi- ally adapted, such as DrOpsy, Dyspep- sia, Fits, Neuralgia, Heart Disease, Female Weakness, Debility, and LeucOrrhoea, when they are manifesto tions of the scrofalous poisons.
 It Is an excellent restorer of health and strength in the Spring. By renewing the appetite and vigor of the digestive organs, it dissipates the depression and listless lan- guor of the season. Even where no disorder appears, people feel better, and live longer, for cleansing the blood. The system moves on with renewed vigor and new lcc, of life.
