"A temperance lecture was delivered on
Monday evening, Dec. l4,h, by Rev. Cyrus
Richardson, of Keene, under the auspices
of the Hinsdale Temperance Union. The
lecture showed the waste of wealth, labor
aud life, the hlndrance TO intellectual cul-
ture, the corruption of morals, and the OBJ
slacles presented in the way of the spread
of the gospel, caused by the enormo is evil
of intemperance. These four points were
ably elaborated and illustrated, and were
followed by several suggestions designed
TO guide the friends of temperance in their
work. A resolution ofthanks was unani-
mously voted, and besides this formal ex-
preston, we heard some of our prominent

The Finding OF Charlie Ross's Bzidnap-
pers.

A more impressive revelation of the i'm
meusc odds always against the criminal
could hardly he made, than that resulting
from The death Of two river thieves and
burglars at Bay Ridge, on Long Island,
Sunday night. There seems 10 be no room
for doubt that these men were also the alb
duclors If Charlie Ross there is room for
hope that their death may lead 10 the
chilI's recovery. In any case, the stories
Of their wrelched careers and the desper-
ate denouemenl thereof, and the narrative
of their close pursuit by the police, are as
Interesting az any chapter Of crime recent
ly brought TO The attention of the public.
To encourage the respondent in the faith
that "murder will out" to warn The evil
disposed that the way they enter on Is one
of continual uncertainty, anxiety and
dread with the preponderant probability
of detection and punishment, it is worth
the while TO recite the episode.
The day aher the stealing of Charlie
Ross from bis home in Germantown, a
suburb OF Philadelphia, on the first of Ju-
ly, letter demanding $4,000 ransom was
received by his father. The police of the
city AT once offered 900 reward for the
recovery Of the ciild aud the conviction OF
his kidnappers. The two men who had
done this crimo had been seen
by several persons in conversation
with the boy and his brother on pre-
vious occasions; little girl had seen the
two boys placed in the wagon on the day
of the abduction; and from these sources,
aud what Walter Ross, The elder boy,
could tell them, the police gained a de-
scriplion of the men. A description of the
boy was furnished, also, which has proved
go far useless, though it has led TO tue ar,
rest of persons with mysterious children
all over The country, and TO the finding Of
several stolen children, who were none Of
them Charlie Ross.

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
dccayed; out such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of foulng the hair with q pasty sedi-
mcnt, 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-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rions to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for q HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it docs
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

CURING MEAT.

Once year "since Adam was a
yearling," or less trihe, perhaps, tht
veteran editor Of the Germantown Tele
graph has told his readers how to
cure meat. As no one yet seems tc
improve upon the method, We will for
the, say, fifteenth time, repeat it: ct,
one gallon of water, take one and one
half pounds of salt, one-half pound o.
sugar, one-half ounce of saltpeter,
one-half pound of potash. In thi.
ratio the pickle can be increased t.
any quantity desired. Let these b,
boiled together until all the dirt from.
the sugar rises to the top and is skim
med off: Then throw it into a tub tt.
cool, and when cold pour it over youl
beef or pork. The meat must be wei.
covered with pickle, and should no;
be put down for at least two days al.
ter killing, during which time i
should be slightly sprinkled witt
powdered saltpeter, which remove:
all the surface blood, etc., leaving tn,
meat fresh and clean. Some omi
boiling the pickle, and find it to an
swer we'll, though the operation
boiling puriies the pickle by throwing
off the dirt always to be found in sa,
and sugar. Ifthis receipt is strict,
followed, it will require only singh
trial to prove its superiority over th>
common way or most ways Of putting
down meat"
