color, qoitb the gloss and freshness Of
youth. Thin hair is thickened, falk
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, SO that a new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent badness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
the formation of dandruff, which is
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those .deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
tions dan gerous, and injurious 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. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich,
glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.

The case Of Burkhurst and Williams,
of Chicago, vs.. The Burgess Steel and
Iron Works, of Portsmouth, for $1,000
damages, resulting from breach of con.
tract, is on trial In the United States
Court.
Henry Bultman was yesterday admit
ted to practice in the United States
Court.
B. D. Barton, Horatio Brewster and
John Folz some time ago brought 8 uit
against Michael Folz to compel him to
perform a specific contract, and the case
is now in progress before Judge Yaple
in the Supreme Court. The cause of ac-
tion is based upon an alleged contract
entered into by the defendant with the
plaintiffs in the spring of 1869, for the
purchase of four lots at public sale
held by them at Ludlow Grove at the
date stated. The plaintiffs were the
purchasers Of quite q tract of land at
Ludlow Grove from the Marietta Rail-
road Company, which tract they subse-
quently subtfvided into lots and sold.
The defendaht claiins that neither the
title Of Che pIaiittSf nor Of the railroad
company was perfect, and that there
was fraud Used in the sale.

the plaintiff was set aside yesterday, in
order to enable the defendant to try his
side of the case. The action, it will be
remembered. was to recover the value Of
twelve $40 U. S. bonds. The defendant
yesterday claimed that the bonds, by
consent Of the plaintiff, were loaned to
one Edward Peale, and that he took a
note from Peale for the plaintiff, but that
Peale subsequently failed, and could not
return the money.
The jury was charged last night and
brought in sealed verdict. The case
was heard by Judge Tilden in the Supe-
rior Court.

take to enlighten him.
Two years and half had passed and
one day, after working hours were over,
John Hastings sat in rather despond-
ent mood in the counting house where he
was employed. Business had been dull,
! and Booth, Hawkins q Co. had not raised
his salary as they had promised at the
new year. "How can ask Rhoda to
share this poverty with me ?' he was
saying, within himself, "aud yet how
can l waitw just then lad came in
with a note addressed to "John Hast
ings, Esq" Opening it he read: sc.
Barthwaite, No. 47G Main street, East,
will be greatly obliged If Mr.. Hastings
will call at the above number at five
O'clock"
"Who's G. Barthwaite I wonder, and
what does he wantw He looked at the
note. "The writing looks little like
Rhoda's," he thought. The sly puss had
written with quill pen and intention
l ally made her letters large.
At five punctually he was at the for
| lists; the young woman in attendance
asked him to step into the back room.
| There he found Rhoda. "Why. l came"
he commenced; "Yes," she laughed,
'you came to see q. Barthwaite,' and
here she isl" Then she explained to him
| what she had been doing.
| Snow. john" she said, "I have as
much right to place among the worlds
workers, and to choose my place, as you
have. I've chosen to be gardener and
florist. What want you to-day Is to
tell you that think we've been engaged
almost long enough, and ask you to set
the day-Now stop, please, don't say
anything yet, haven't got through.
want you to give g. Barthwaite' lease
of your four-acre lot and cottage, for
that person wishes to build hot-house
and conservatory before certain we'd
ding occurs. The old change required
for the purpose is in the Savings Bank.
| Now you may talk"
| A very bewildered looking individual
was John Hastings at that moment, but
he was finally persuaded to see matters
as they were.
That evening Ralph Rochester received
a note from his sister, full Of affection,
telling him the place he had so long oc-
cupied in her heart was still his, and
rendering him an invitation to come
often to "Barthwaite Cottage" Fer
note was signed: "Rhoda Il. Hastings
or e. Barthwaite, Florist"
| It took Mr.. Rochester six months to
recover from his indignation at his sis
ters disobedience, and another six
months to become reconciled to her in
| dependence.
But when young Ralph Rochester
Hastings made his appearance, as a
very small actor on the worlds stage,
his uncle drove over to Barthwaite Cot
tage and was fully reconciled.

The commercial outlook continues en-
couraging, tor while improvement may
not be rapid or as sharply defined as it
ought to be at this season OF the year,
owing to the weather and other causes,
it exhibits the influence of increased

entering upon better condition, and it
is not unsafe to predict that when the
spring trade is fairly opened the metro
polls will show degree of activity that
will materially compensate for the dull

Bonnets and hats are this season /,

Bonnets and hats are this season in a
large variety of different shapes and ma
terlals. Leghorn and chip will be the
most popular, although many fancy
opea-w ORR etraws are exhibited. Plain
white Swiss straw, with fancy Vandyke
edges, and brilliant and blonde lace
straw, mixed with cord and velvet, will
comprise some OF The groundworks Of
the more fancy goods. Present indica-
tions seem to point to chip as the fash
iopable material for spring bonnets and
hats. The wealthy classes will proba-
bly, favor the more expensive Leghorn; /;
but We have good authority for assert
ing the pyedominance OF chip hats. The
seasons importations Of both are uDu-
sually fine and Of choice, clear finish. The
principal change i'll shape appears to be
round crown, accom- panied i'll many in
stances with broad brim. This latter
feature admits OF a great variety OF treat
ment in trimming by rolling or setting
up the front and sides. This is more ap-
pncabie to the softer materials, such as
Leghorn or chip. Many of the shapes re-
tain the double front of last spring,
while others are exhibited with single
band to keep in place a wreath or floral
head-piece. Some English hats appear
with the conicai brigand crown. We
could not describe tenth part Of the
different shapes, their arrangement and
combinations are go diverse. The Car
list, Soldene, Primrose ana Felina are
among the most popular OF the turned
up styles; and the W0odbine, Daisy and
Llvonia are popular shapes with turned
| down brims, the latter being frequently
| rolled up al front or on one side. Trim
mings have this year had quite little
| re evolution. Flowers will he worn to a
greater extent than has been the case
| for many years. The most OF the French
and English pattern bonnets and hats
are represented with large clusters Of
flowers and foliage in the face trimming,
and also at the sides. Many have long
wreaths of roses and bright green foliage
dropping gracefully over the back.
Wreaths of wheat, oats and wild grasses
will be considerably used, often in
combination with heather and fruit bios
SONS. Wild flowers, such as p0ppies,
Marguerites and small daisies, will be
worn to a great extent. In many in
| stances the flowers are supplemented by
| small tip feathers, but plumes will not
| be worn to any extent. Lace is rather
conspicuous by its absence.
