Ayers HairVigor, For restoring to Gray Hair it's natural Vitality and Color.

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 a 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- tion of dandruff which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious 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 a HAIR DRESSING. nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy lustre, and grateful perfume.

UNPAID Postage.

We are glad to see in a late telegram
from Washington that the Attorney Gen.
eral has decided that the action of the Post
Office Department in demanding double the
amount of deficient postage upon all letters
not fully prepaid at the time of mailing, is
not in accordance with law. We long ago
decided the matter in that way, in our
minds, upon principles of equity, believing,
moreover, that, in an age in which all
changes in postal regulations are in the di-
rection of cheapening postage, the Congress
of this nation was not likely to take any
backward step that would throw it out
of the general movement All honor to
Judge PASCAL, of Washington, whose ap-
peal to a court of law forced the Postmaster
General to refer his action, in the case
referred to, to the head of the Department
of Justice, and thus won for the people
their long denied right to pay nothing but
what was due. May the day come-but
when we dare not hope-when the govern
ment, whose proud boast is to be for the
people and by the people, will always in
terpret a law that is ambiguous in its word
ing, or doubtful in its construction, in the
way that will be least oppressive to the
peoplel

RAIL ROAD PROSPECTS.
The Road Sure to be Built If the Commission

Of the citizens favoring the railroad enter
prise was held in the Court House, on last
Wednesday evening. This meeting was
held to decide upon what route to take to
reach the Pennsylvania Central
A charter having been granted fora road
from Duncannon to Loysville, Uia Bloom
field, and the commissioners named in that
act promising immediate action, the meet
ing decided almost unanimously to make
shares subscribed were then transferred to
the subscription book of the commissioners,
and the following resolution was adopted
by the meeting.
Resolued, That the board of Commits
sioners named in the act incorporating the
Duncannon, Bloomfield and Loysville Rail
Road, are requested to at once collect the
first assessment on the shares subscribed,
and proceed to organize the company by
calling q meeting of the stockholders to
elect board of directors, in the manner
provided by law.
The subscriptions transferred to the com.
missioners exceed the amount which the
law requires them to have before organizing,
and if they now fail to act, the friends Of
the railroad movement will not be at a loss
upon whom to lay the blame.
The people demand rail road and hav
ing placed the necessary subscriptions
for the purpose of organization, in the
hands of the commissioners, will hole
them responsible for any delay that may
occur in organizing the company. We trus
however, that there will be no occasion fol
complaint. Was the carrying out of thu
project in the hands of those who hav,
brought the matter this far, we have M
doubt that within three weeks from this
time the company would be organized anC
in working order. Very many have n'
faith in the movement being any thing
more than "wind," and consequently will
not take hold until some steps have beef
taken which prove, that something NOR
than talk is intended We trust the com
missioners will see that this class Of peopl
will soon have a chance to place thei
names on the subscription books.

There is near the Boston and Lowell
Railroad, in Bomerville, handsome brick
house, just discernible from the cars as
they enter cut ON the road bed, which has
romantic history. 1t was built by ris-
ing young lawyer Of Boston who was en-
gagged to be married. He had fully fur
nished the house in anticipation OF soon
making it his home with his young wife,
when the engagement was broken of for
reasons which, If they could be related,
would greatly add to the romance of the
story. The disappointed lover shut up his
new house just as it was, declaring it should
not be opened as long as, the would have
been bride, should live. That was nearly
twenty years ago, and the furnished but
untenanted house still stands closed, just as
ii was prepared to welcome It's expected
mistress.

The discussion in the House of Repre-
sentatives last week on the report of the
committee recommending the expulsion of
Ames of Mass. and Brooks of New York,
was exceedingly exciting. The report was
finally amended so as to censure, instead
of expel, and in that shape passed the
house by large vote. The whole of the
proceedings from the first to the last have
been disgrace to the nation.

A Cnrious Case.

A Memphis paper says Some months
since in one of our courts there was filed
petition for divorce, which exhibits strange
freak ofhuman nature. The petitioner was
married in 1852, and his wife died in Feb
ruary, 1871, leaving surviving eight children
as the fruits of said marriage. His mother
in-law took great interest in her grand
children, and the complainant in the divorce
bill, at the time, feeling that the grand
mother was nearer and dearer to his children
than any other human being, and was
bound to them by the ties of common
affection, married her, believing that the
marriage would better subserve the interest
of his children, and more largely promote
his own happiness than any other course
then left to him hence, on the 10th day of
September, 1871, marriage was duly SOL
emnized between the parties in Shelby
county.
The parties lived together as man and
wife for two months, and it neye: occurred
to either of them that there was any i'm
propriety, legal or moral, in such establish
ment of relationship as husband and wife.
The step was suggested to both parties by
tender consideration for the welfare of the
eight children. In November, 1871, it was
intimated for the first time to petitioner that
under the laws Of Tennessee such mar
riage was null and void, and greatly sur
prised al such information, petitioner
sought the advice of an officer of the church
to which he belonged, and from those learn
ed in the law, and was informed that such
marriage was void, owing to the previous
relationship of the parties.
In November the parties ceased TO live
together, and agreed to apply for divorce
hence they applied for divorce UincuIO,
or that the marriage be pronounced null
lity, and that the said parties, complainant
and defendant, be declared free from the
supposed obligation and its consequences
In July, 1872, decree pro cOnfessO wai
granted by the court annulling the marriage
the parties being within the prohibited
degrees of kindred, and that the defendant
be restored to her original name.

az A man in Lehigh county read some
where that ''the Canadian way of measur-
ing tree is said to be as certain as it is
grotesque. You walk from the tree,
looking at it from time to time between
your knees. When you are able to see
the top in this way, your distance from
the root of the tree equals its height"
SO he attempted to measure certain tree,
just out of curiosity, by walking forward
with his head between his knees. Before
his eyes had reached more than half way
up the trunk he came to the edge of a pre-
cipice sixty feet high, and all of sudden
began TO turn somersaults downward until
he struck the river below. Then he swan
out and went home, and ho does not even
yet know how high that tree is, or whether
the Canadian theory is correct, and he
does not care but he wishes he could find
the man who conveyed the information
upon the subject to the public. He desires
TO demonstrate with him with club,
