hair is thickened, fallen 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
decayed; but such as 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 a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling off, 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-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. II wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing 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.

"a CARD.
AUGUST ID, l

AUGUST 10, 1876
In issuing this card 10 the public, il is sim
ply our intention TO give our reasons why we
are not able to reduce the price of our MAX
IHUH FERTILIZE'R for the present season.
| In making our purchases Of materials used
in the manufacture of MAXIMUM We have
always exercised the utmost care and diligence
in the selection of sock of materials, know
ing that our good aqme and personal repula-
ton is identical with the farmers interest in
getting he highest grade fertilizer made in
the country and in our MAXIMUM FERTI-
LlZER we guarantee and stake our personal
reputation upon il that the MAXI UNI is The
best fertilizer in the market and has proven
the justice of our claim for IT, by The contin-
nance 10 use il Of the best farmers 10 every
section of the country where il has been in
iroduced. We have had this year to go TO
Savannah, Ga, where the agents of the Pc
ruvian Government had their last and only
cargo of original high-grade Guanape Guano
stored, 10 make our purchase Of Peruvian Gu
ano, in order to get such AS would insure the
Turner established grade, and secure beyond
doubt the reputation Of "MAXlMUM y
In securing this high grade Of Peruvian
Guano we have paid large increase on The price
of last year, and the present price of Peruvi-
nm Guano now being sold from the agency of
the Peruvian Government in New York. 1t
VIII Oe readily seen uy Inc lntelligeht farmer
that Peruvian Guano, being an imported ar
ticle, is not affected bt any depressions in
either our financial or commercial markets,
and therefore we who use Peruvian Guano err
clgSioeIy never have the opportunity TO make
purchases of materials TO advantage in times
of depression, as others have, who use a part
or wholly of domestic articles, such as dcied
blood and animal matter of various kinds
and we consequently have not the margin TO
reduce our prices.
In conclusion we offer MAiINUM at the
same prices as last year, feeling that the far
mers who now use il will see il 10 their inter
est TO pay the same price rather than get n
small reduction in price aud greater one in
quality.
With many thanks for past encouragement
and guaranteeing the M1IINUW FERTE
LIZER fully up to its past standard, we ask
from the farmers who have so successfully
US d il in former wears, continuance Of their
patronage for the present season.

Fire.

About P. NJ. Monday evening our
citizens were startled with the cry
of fire, which was kept up vigorously
for some time. The cause of the
alarm was fire in the front bed
chamber of the residence Of Mr.. -
Dorm, barber, residing on Martin
street, opposite the INDEPENDENT
office. The bed in the room was en-
veloped in flames which threw a
brilliant light out the windows and
into the street. The fire was extin-
guished before the fire company ar
rived on the spot.
The bed was almost entirely con-
sumed, but no other damage done.
The origin of the fire is not exact
1y known. A son of Mr.. Dorm went
up into the room about six O'Clock
and got lamp. He says he carried
it into the adjoing room before light
ing it, which he did with a MATCH
The timely discovery of the fire saved
perhaps a serious confagration.

COMMITTEE CLERKS-TSE
LESS EXP ENSE

Among other proceedings in the
State Senate, now in session as a
court of impeachment, we notice an
attempt to get through an order to
pay the per diem of two committee
clerks. We are at loss to know of
what use any committee clerks have
been to this court Of impeachment.
The Senate has a secretary, and he
has an assistant, and surely these
two officials are not bothered with
the slim amount of work they have
had to perform. OF course where le-
climate labor is done the taxpayers
expect to pay for it without grum-
bling, but in these hard times they
should not be burdened with the care
or expense of useless appendages.-
Senators should look carefully into
this subject before voting away the
peoples money.
