The Steamboat Columbia.
Colored House Of Reformation.

John 4. Cox, Esq, President of the Board
Of Directors of the State Colored House of Re-
formation has submitted to the Governor his
second annual report, from which We learn
that
1.-TWO boys, the first to come. were received
February 4, 1873; at the end of the first year
seventytwo had been received. During 1874
seventy boys were received. making one hun
dred and forty-two in all. Twelve boys escaped.
and two returned making one hundred and
twenty-eight in the Institution now. There
has been no sickness. The total expenditures
of the two years, including buildings and re-
pairs foot up S95. 401. The expenditures of
1874 were 500. 100, and there is balance in
the treasury of 81 93l. The farm, worth So
600, was given TO the institution by Enoch
Pratt, of Baltimore. OF the cash received
Sl6,397 was given by individuals. A second
family building was constructed during the
past year TO accommodate fifty boys, and to-
wards which the State appropriated SIS, 600.
An appeal for "A liberal appropriation is made
to the city authorities. There are at present
one main building and two family buildings.
These buildings and appurtenanceS have cost
$4,000. Shops of various kinds are now re-
qnired to carry out the system of Instruction.. -
The report highly commends the family sys-
ten of treatment of the coiored youth entrusf-
ed to the institution. The inmates tsare separate
ed from their evil associates they receive Kind
treatment; they are taught and influenced TO
love those who care for them, and to respect
themselves; they learn TO value their word,
and as they trusted they become trustwor-
thy, and it is endesvored to develop them ply
scally. mentally and morally. They re
quired 10 work TO learn how 10 work, and TO
know the importance of labor. They learn 10
handle the hoe, shovel and spade are taught
10 manage horses, mules and cattle; TO plow,
to reap, and gather the grain into garners; TO
scrub, wash and iron, to bake and to cook: TO
wait upon the f;tmii, and one another TO make
and to mend their own clothes. Their duties
alternate with study in the sehool-room, under
careful and competent teachers
From the report of the Superintendent, Gen.
Horn, we learn that in the past year there
twas harvested forty acres of wheat, twenty OF
rye, eighty of corn, four of notatoes, three OF
turnips, and four acres of Other vegetables, be-
sides other farm work. Glasses of vocal and
instrumental music have been added TO the
course of mental instruction
This is one of the most useful and beneficial
institutions fostered by the State, and we feel
pride in its prosperity under General Horn :

BE CAREFUL.-In these days, when tight
hats, hot hair, and sedentary occupations,
cause the hair to fall out, it is IA matter of no
little importance to know which of the hair
preparations are of any value. The majority

matologists, or hair-doctors, possess little or
no merit. Such being the fact, it is consoing
to those who are afflicted to know there is real

LsS1Il EARENEwER

Every year increases the populari-
ty 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 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. 1t 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,
1.-THE constituents arepure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;

RATION for its intended purposes"

The boy child of D. j. Shea, born
last Thursday evening, was weighed
Immediately after its birth by DR.. Rice,
in the presence Of dozen witnesses,
with balance scales, and weighed twenty
pounds and two ounces. This weight
can be relied upon and Is also verified
by measurements Of the child taken
yesterday morning, sixty hours after its
birth. The horizontal circumference Of
its head is l6 inches; the perpendicular
circumference, 16f inches; length of
child, 23f inches; distance from shoul-
der to shoulder over the chest, 201 in.
ches; In short, the child is as large as
an ordinary babe year old, and is well
and aourishing That these figures are
entirely unparalleled is proved by med
ical works, which give instances of in
fants weighing 13 or IA pounds at birth,
but generally scout the idea of greater
Weights. One author, indeed, tells Of a
still-born child Of II pounds, and a
scarcely authentic case of etill-born
child over 19 pounds, but gives Is
pounds as the maximum weight, and
about Z pounds as the average weight
of living infants. This is the first child
Of the psrents, both of whom are OF

inches high, twenty-three years old,
weighs 135 pounds when in good health,
