Tho Fate Of Capt. Hall.

The Courier Jomrnal has this to
say of the probable cause of Capt.
Halls death:
Our dispatches this morning con
tain strong and interesting state
ments from several of the crew OF
the Polaris, which 60 far TO
strengthen the conviction in the
minds of many that the gallant ex-
plorer Was poisoned, and did not
die of apoplexy. The conduct of
Captain BURLINGTON is vehement
~ condemned, and it ls alleged that
he wilfully deserted the party, who
were rescued after great suffering,
because of their desire to proceed
further north. after Halls death.
1t is evident there was much mutt
ny and wrangling ON board the
leader of the expedition. How his
death was occasiOned will perhaps
never bedefinitely ascertained, but
1t seems more than probable that
he was tOully dealt with.
All the regret expressed over his
untimely fate is hardly greater than
the occasion warrnts. He was per
haps, the most experienced Artic
explorer Of the age, and, although
net a seaman, and somewhat care
less in his equipment of the Polar
is, Charles Francis Hall, was not
q man to succumb to ordinary
difficulties. HORACE says that the
heart of the first navigator must
have been shielded with three
fold brass, and yet that poet could
hardly have found words to express
his establishment of the intrepid
seamen who first ventured to face
the unknown terrOrs of the frozen
world. Many bold men who have
penetrated those inhospitable shores
have lived to tell moving tales of all
it's hardships and dangers. while
many others, equally as skillful
have sunk into nameless graves be-
meath the mighty iceberg.
From all we can CLEAN from Oul
exchanges we are inclined to the
belief that the gallant Captain was
foully dealt with. 1t is well known
UuttU d ulod ~ CCHChS OAictSN IN Wv o-
Capt Hall and the sailing master,
Capt Buddington, and which it is
believed resulted in Halls death
by poison. Speculation is rife as
to the prime motive Of the damning
deed. One suppositon is that Bud,
dington, being afraid to follow Hal
80 far northward, resOrted to this
cowardly method of ending his ex'
istence. Another, and, perhaps,
the most plausible reason is that
the murderer WAS DESTROYS of get
ting control of the vessel, and thus
appropl late to himself all tho hon
or and glory that would result from
the expedition.
1t is to be hoped that the facts
will speedily be brought to light. and
the guilty party receive that pun
ishment due to his crime.

FOWLS.

Nothing pays better on a farm than
good stock of poultry, properly managed;
with them everything is turned to account;
not a kernel, wild seed or insect escapes
their scrutinizing eyes. Their industrious
claws are ever at work, uncovering, ready
for appropriation, every hidden but coa-
sumable substance. Fowls must have free
access to chalk or lime to form the shells of
their eggs, and grit or gravel to grind the
food in their gizzards. They luxuriate on
grass. which is almost necessity for them;
in winter they love mangel and Swedes.-
They must have access to plenty of pure
water. The quantity of the eggs depends
upon the quality of the food. They, like
ourselves, like best shade IN summer. and
warm, sheltered corners in winter. They
must have access to shelter in wet weather.
Fowls will not be healthy long on the same
ground or yard; the earth gets tainted To
prevent disease, salt your yards and their
usual pasture once a year, say in autumn,
and sweeten the surface.
Broods of chickens never do better with
us than on the grass brows or patches abut-
ting upon the growing crops, either of corn
or pulse, into which they run either for
insects or for shelter. The roof of the
coops should be water tight, and the coop
should often be moved, having only the
natural ground for the floor. That natural
ground soon becomes tainted, unless you
move the coop. You can hardly make
some people good managers of poultry if
they lack observation and judgment.
Your male bird should be often changed
say every second year. He should be young
and vigorous. Breeding in-and-in will not
do any more than it will with animals. l
consider winged game, poultry and birds,
the farmers friends.
My poultry have access at all times to
my fields. Fowls are very useful in clear
ing off flies. ] have often been amused at
seeing their neat and quick manner of tax
ing them from reposing bulocks, much to
che comfort of the latter.-Mr Nechi.

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. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, 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 new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, Nd,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and l consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
Sold By all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.
Price One Dollar.

As our Remover in many cases
requires too long time, and too
much care, to restore gray or faded
Whiskers, we have prepared this
dye, in one preparation; which will
quickly and effectually accomplish
this result. 1t is easily applied,
and produces a color which will
neither rub nor wash off. Sold by
all Druggists. Price Fifty Cents.
