extraordinary statement, that jack
Cade, according to Shakespeare, thought
that reading and writing come (came?)

Now in ''Much Ado about Nothing,
Act LII, Scene Ill, Shakespeare in-
rrcduces two foolish officers, Dogberry
and Verges, with the watch. Verges
asks Dogberry to give the watch their
charge; whereupon Dogberry asks

The Hillsboro Recorder saws: The
storm Of last week was the most de-
structive within the memory of this
generation. The forests and orchards
are wrecks. The roads were almost
impossible for several days, and the
work OF clearing out is one of great
labor.
The Raleigh Examiner says: The
first telegraph south of the equator
was constructed by n well known gen
tleman. now in this city, who was
raised here, but now resides in Balti-
more, by name James G. McPheeters
he having built telegraph line in
Chill, South America, connecting
Valparaiso with Santiago. The tariff
for ten words on this line was the sum
Of two dollars.
The Hillsboro Recorder saws: On
Tuesday morning of last week, while
the trees were bending and breaking
III every direction through the woods,
Mr.. Umsted Smith, who lives about
seven miles west from town, went out
to look after his hogs. While going
through the woods, he was struck
down by falling limb, which threw
him senseless to the ground. He was
found by those who were drawn ont,
by his long absence from The house. i'll
search OF him, apparently dead. his
skull seeming to have been crushed
His situation Is not critical.

: The Charlotte Observer says : 4
gentleman Of this city received a note
yesterday from the postmaster at Mt.
Mourne saying that the woman, Mrs.
4 David Hagar, who disappeared from
her home near Beattie's Ford one day
/ last week, has arrived at her fathers
house, alive and well. She went up
the river from her own home, and
crossing the bridge, came down on the
other side to her fathers. It is ru-
mored that the cause of her leaving
home was that her husband treated her
very harshly, and she, after submitting
to this treatment as long as she could,
finally determined to leave home. Mrs.
Hagar was absent from home for four
days. Her husband is described to us
as a very Industrious man, but one OF
brutal nature, and treats his wife III
Il very cruel manner. She is said to
be very meek and quiet, industrious
withal and makes him good wife.

Every year increases the popularity
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 perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to it's youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandrutf,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By it's 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
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, Md, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for it's intended purposes"
