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 1T 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. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"

We are glad to learn that with the adj
vent of tAe dog-wood blossoms the fish
have made their appearance and that the
fishermen along the river are doing quite
respectable, though, as yet, small bust
ness. The Alexandria Gazette of Nednes-
day says: THE receipts of fresh fish at
Fishtown, this morning, were greater than
for some time past, and as stated yester-
day, the hopes of some of the fishermen
are reviving. One load from Chapman S
contained 300 shad and $4,000 herrings,
and the number caught there was increas-
ing SO rapidly that another vessel was sent
for to bring them to market
