The above tells the story Of how
one of Minburn's most popular young

uninterrupted prosperity ever be
theirs. The wedding was quite a
brilliant affair, and the presents were
many and valuable. We have been

to give the entire list. Among them

This marriage astonishes us. 1t is
only year or two since May left
here with her parents, little girl,
and we wouldn't have been more as
tonished to hear she was dead than
that she was married. But we are
glad to know that she is married and
happy, and we add our hearty con-
gratulations, as also will numerous
other friends here when they read
the above notice.

signers of the pledge, including wo-

thrown such influence the other way

Provision has been made for the en-

organized for their use in the day and

been taken for the permanent lifting
up of those who are down. The

i Is adequate. on which the public may rely
for full protection. BY curing Coughs, the
forerunners OF more serious disease, ii saves UNI

to be computed II challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as a protection against the early

lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and il
is unwisc to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. It acts speedily and surely against ord

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
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
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
mcnt, 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 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. If 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 grateful perfume.

Report ON the Alaska FUR and Seal
Contract.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-The report of ].
J. Moore on the Alaska fur seal contract,
goes to the House to-day. Moore gives q
statement of the Russian contract, also the
history of the fur seal contract, from the
commencement
The books OF the Alaska Commercial Com
pany, and the treaty have been examined,
and the number of seal skins brought from
the island ard passed through the San Fran
cisco custom house, compared with the ship
ping books of the company, and the account
of sales from Lampson Il Co., of London.
This thorough revision, according to Moore's
report, entirely frees the company of any
charges Of killing greater number of seals
than the contract warrants Moore found
that the contract Is very lucrative to the con-
tractors, and he ridicules the charge of their
cheating. He also found opposition to the
company in San Francisco on the ground
that the act Of 1870, leasing the islands, was
wrong. This report differs from other re-
ports sent to Congress on this subject in
asmuch as 1t chiefly deals with investigating
the number of seals killed, and the skins
sold, and the working OF the contract from
the beginning.
