Every year increases the populari-
ty ofthis 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 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. It is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"Ihe constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

The Iron Business.

From the Pittsburgh Gazette OF yesterday:
The prospect and situation Of tho iron
trade may be very briefly given. OF the
eleven blast furnaces in our city, FIVE are
out Of blast, four Of them for the purpose
Of having the interior refined. OF the
Iron mills, all except tho Superior Mills
are actively at work, and at q profit suC.
ficient TO warrant their continuance.
Orders were offered about the first Of
July sufficient 10 keep them running for
six months, but were not accepted Of the
figures proposed. Current orders are sufll.
ciently numerous 10 admit Of their running
consecutively, and at a small, but fair
profit. The tirst six months Of the present
year was marked by as large trade as
the same period Of last year,-.thisy year rep
resenting a larger amount Of iron sold, be.
ing the same in money return. Our iron
manufacturers are not making the large
profits OF former years, but are making
enough 10 variant active trade, Such,
in brief, Is the situation. There was a
rumor current, Q few weeks since, that
the mills would close up In few weeks
but we are informed that this Is not Inc
fact, and that, on the contrary, orders arc
increasing, an1 prices are improving
rather than declining,

Gen. Golf for Congress.

From tho PMkersburg Times Otthe l4th.
To this same gentleman We gave our
hearty support four years ago, when he
was candidate for tho same position.
We cannot refuse 1t to him now that
several years OF experience and study
have added to his claims upon public
favor. And while we entertain no per-
sonAl objections to bis opponent, Col. Ben
Wilson, whose zeal and abilities should
entitle him to the warmest support Of his
own party, we do not think II expedient
at this critical juncture Of national affairs,
with new political troubles brewing In
the South, TO send achievements TO that
party in Congress, which Is historically
identified with secession, slavery, and op.
position to equal rig hts. As an indie
pendent journSlist We have given mature
considerations TO the claims Of both can.
didates, and to the possible results Of
their election upon the fate Of the country,
and deliberately and cheeriuIly assume
the responsibility Of our choice.

the river in boat, q species OF pastime
which their father had many time for
hidden. But the boys went this time,
trusting to luck TO conceal their depravity
from the knowledge Of their pa, and in
due time returned and walked around
the house, the two most innocent looking
boys in Burlington. They separated for
q few moments, suddenly confronted by
the father, who requested a private inter.

journed to a woodshed, where, alter brief

Lane the other day. A gentleman
who lives not a thousand miles from
Los Angeles and a lady Ito be sure,
she was an angel took a ride up that
secluded street, and-well!-you see, / :

will be affectionate with their lady
loves, how can body help seeing it,
when right before their eyes. after
We had taken the precaution to climb
up in tree to poetize and get away
from terrestrial affairs. If he had
been Frenchman it would have oeen
excusable, but an Englishman %,

Our city is growing so fast that we
number about eighteen tents. 1t was
proposed this afternoon that we have
some one take the census. l object to
il, on the ground that perhaps a few
OF us may not have any to spare.
We would like to take visit to the
land of Nod about this time, if it were
not for the mysterious sounds which
come from the other tent near by, n d
seem very much like this: "Put your
right bower on that, old fellow!' no
cheating, now" "You must follow
suit or trumpv' ZOE ZELLA.
