UNIONI'O WV LOCALS.

AS weddings and receptions are sl-
ways matters of local interest, we would
make brief notice of the reception of
Mr.. George j. Sharp and his fair young
bride at the house of Mrs. Caroline
Sharp, on their return from their bri-
dial tour. This party was brilli mt
one in every particular. The Inde-
pendent COrnet, and Duff's String
Band were both in attendance, and IA
vored the guests with some choice Sc
lections. In the absence of Mr.. Nc
Clellan, both bands were led by MI.
Josiah Duff, except in the performance
of one of their most beautiful pieces,
where Mr.. r. B. Caldwell acted as
leader. Owing to the efforts used by
Mr.. Joseph Sharp and sisters in the re-
ceptiOn of their guests; the ample pro-
vision for sumptuous and attractive
supper, and the beautiful evening ,.the
occasion proved very pleasant one to
all interested.
B. B.-"The Battle against the Bot
tie" will be resumed here in short
time. The temperance ladies are not
dead, but like Rip Van Winkle, are Ia
king little rest, and will waken up
shortly to right "a great many acroaags,
and ia an efficient permanent manner.
In ans yer to numerous inquiries, we
would beg leave to say that the grant
of mail route from UnioDtown to St.
Clairsville, is fixed fact, and Govern
ment has advertised for bids regarding
the transportation of the mails, to take
effect July 1st, 1874.
SAENGERFEST.-A local writer, we
had not the ability to report the close of
Prof. Glass sing at this place; but at
its close the Prof. assured the people
that the Saengerfest would be theprin-
cipal entertainment upon the 4th day
of July. Said he could give them no
assurance as regarded exemption from
rain, but that there would be no BIffa-
10 exhibited OIL that occasion. 1t has
been proposed to hold this concert in
two counties, upon both sides of the
Ohio River, but we cannot say wheth-
er this will meet with the approval of
of the several committees.
News ITEMs-Wool growers are get
ting their wool crop ready for market.

THE Chicago Inter Ocean has taken
a look at the proposed Ohio Constitu-
ton, and thinks that the changes it
proposes to make in the organic law
are, upon the whole, for the better.
1t says, too, that the question of Lii
cense or Prohibition has been evaded
and the responsibility shifted back to
the electors, adding: SIN view of the
experience Ohio has just had with pro-
hibition, and the political results last
Fall and the present Spring, there is
little doubt as to the disposition that
will be made of this question on fair
expression of public sentiment, and il
should be remembered that the action
is now intended to decide the States
future position"

WE find in the batelltgencer of Tues
day the following letter in reference to
the price OF wool, addressed to Henry
X. List:
PHILADELPHIA June 1, 1874.
We give below quotations for sales OF
old wool. We have no idea that the
new clip Except for the first arrivals)
will bring any such prices. The mar
ket is very bare, and until the new
woolcomes for ward freely manufactures
must pay the high prices that are de-
manded by dealers. AS soon as the
new clip begins to accumulated it is
quite probable, that there will be a de-
Cline; we therefore repeat the caution
of ours of the 18th ult., viz: ado not
pay above the opening prices of last
year, or 40 cents for fleece washed, %
cents for medium unwashed, and 25
cents FOR fine unwashed."
The first arrivals coming on bare
market will in all probability be
promptly taken at full quotations
especially the Kentucky woods which
are in demand at about 43 cents for
combing and 35 to 81 cents Tor clothing.

CHICAGO, June 4.-The Times this
morning publishes several columns OF
crop reports from various points
throughout the States of Illinois, Iowa,
Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Minne-
sofa and Kansas, from which it appears
that on an average the acreage of wheat
sown is much in Access of that of last
year, and that the yield promises to be
quite up to the average In corn, oats and
barley. Fully the samee amount of land
has been seeded and the crops will be
large. Fruits of all descriptions never
looked better. In several counties In
Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota, the grass
hoppers and chinch bugs have made
their appearance

THE State School Superintendent oi

law of Tennessee, and suggesting that
no new contracts for teachers be enter
ed into until further orders from the
Department of Public Instruction.

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 new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, 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 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 rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
