H0ia" VSgOr,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, fallen 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 pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often so un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a 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.

A meeting Of the Republicans OF this
county was held at the Courthouse on the
30th instant.
On motion, Temple S. johnson was
called to the chair, and Lorenzo Robson
appointed secretary. The county Republi-
can committee rendered their resignation,
whereupon another committee was APP
pointed, with William l.. Vessels, of
Walkerton Postohice, as chairman, and
Temple 5. johnson, as secretary. After
some dissatisfaction and great deal of
discussion in regard to the nomination of
county offices, made at the courthouse on
the 26th July last, William l.. Vessels
came forward and rendered his resignation
as the candidate for the legislature.
On motion, the meeting resolved to ap.
point Wednesday, the 24th September,
1878, as the day, and Stevensville as the
place for the nomination of county officers
and candidate for the legislature. On
motion, ordered, that the proceedings of
the meeting be published in THE STATE

A NEW and useful phase of pulpit ora
tory is its tendency to discuss practically
the practical affairs of everyday life.
From California comes a report of a,ser-
mon on Christian craftsmanship; from New
Hampshire one of sensible discussion on
common schools. The California clergy
man begged the citizen to vote intelligently,
and to forbid the professional politician to
do his thinking for him; and furthermore to
vote for candidates known to be honest and
capable. All of which, we submit, does
him honor, and does not impair the sacred.
ness of the pulpit, from which man
should not only be taught the highest duty
but also his duty to the state. The New
England preacher deprecated the over.tax-
ing of the vital powers which the methods
of our schools demand from delicate young
children, the heedlessness on the part Of
parents and teachers which let's the young
mind be strained and the physique ex-
hausted. Who shall say that these preach
ers are not doing noble and excellent
work 4?
