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
dccaycd; but such rs 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.
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 forma-
ton of dandrulf, which is often so I'M

deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-

benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Another Collision on the G.. r.
& q Railroad.
One MAN Seriously. If Not Fa.
tally Injured.

Iii one of the strangest things in
the world, but nevertheless true, that
when misfortunes come they are apt
to crowd each other in quick success
sion. The C.SB. & @. Railroad, being
one of the best managed roads in the
State, has been for long number of
years very fortunate, and we believe,
until the Tyrone disaster nothing Of
serious import had ever happened to
it.
Yesterday afternoon between two
and three O'Clock another collision oc-
Cured, between Tyrone and Melrose,
. few miles this side of Charlton, by
which six box cars and two engines
were badly smashed to pieces.
1t seems from the best informatio
that we can get, that An extra train
was sent east in charge Of one of the
most careful men on the road, with
orders. which he received at Charlton
to meet No. 10 at Melrose, and No.
at Tyrone. Through anxiety to make
his time and connections closely he
probably became confused, and WI
understand ssys that he forgot al
about No. 10 until it was too late t.
avoid the catastrophe.
The collision occurred on q email

towns, and ! brakeman, on train No

Republican Record.

Frank Leslie's Illustrated Paper,
one of the most ultra of the Democrat
ic journals in the country speaks of
the Republican record in this wise:
"The Republican record during these
fourteen years it is useless for us to
discuss. 1t has certainly been bril-
liant one. The party has carried on
its shoulders a weight of responsibility
never before assumed by a political
party in a free republic. 1t has been
followed by majority of the people
Of the North with almost religious ar
dor, and the negroes of the South
bless it as their almost divine emanci-
pator.
"It is impossible for an American,
be he Northern or Southern, to con-
template the history of this great po-
litical organization without a feeling
of admiration, however much he may
oppose the principles, and however
bitterly he may suffer in consequ ence
of its success"
This is noble testimony; and given
unsolicited by political opponent, Is
all the more trustworthy and emphatic
The record is of the Republican party,
the party whose ascendancy has been
jeopardized by the apathy and neglect
of Republicans. Such record illus
trates the admirable fitness of the
party to deal with the questions which
bear so deeply on the country's vel
fare.
