Science has accomplished no more wonderful
altitude to the chilling signs Of approaching age,
something to oblitsrste the tefl-taie tracks Of
time, and preserve the natural adornmenfs Of
youth to ripe old age. Halls Hair Remover
does ell this, and its praise resounds in cottage
and palace. The jewellers among the SHOWS Of
Spain, find use for it, and find means TO get it,
and II does not disappoint them. The whiten-
ing locks again resume their Youthful color, the
thin, dry. and faded hair becomes bright and
glossy. The whole appearance is changed as if
by magic. and the man or woman, who, before
was called aged, now appears as one in the
prime OF life. Such wonderful changes cannot
pass unnotced. and they have produced the
Unprecedented demand that now exists for the

HARTFORD LOCALS.

From Our Own Correspondent.
Horacs Cole is down from Hart, for the pur
pose OF selling his wheat, raised on his ole
farm, southeast Of here.
Calvin Jackson, former proprietor OF the
Hartford House. but who has been absent IN
Wisconsin for the past year, has returned.
Owing to i'll health, Mrs. Travis has been
missed from her accustomed place in the pos,
Office, for several weeks past. We understand
she is improving now, and will soon be ready
to fill engagements in the lecture field upon
the subject Of temperance. She will not spend
her breath mourning over the dead past and
berating the whisky-seller and whisky-drinker,
but to prevent a specific whereby we may pre-
vent being troubled by either in future thus
saving the rising generation and consequently
the future of our country from shame and
disgrace.
Mrs Fred Warren WAS buried last Sunday.
Rev. Mr.. Steele preached very tender and
touching funeral sermon from the text, {" Did
not say unto thee. that if ye have faith, ye
shall see the glory of God?" The church, gal
lery and vestibule were filed to overfowipR
with attentive listeners and sincere mourpers.
for Mrs. Warren was IN old resident, and ssd.
dest Of all, leaves a family of eleven small
children, who will never again be blessed by
love, though their lonely hearts may long for
and crave it, oh, how earnestly May God
pity and "temper the winds to the shorn
lambs"
Owing to the lively insurance business being
done by DR.. Sweet and Levi Warren, we think
Hartford folks had better be on the lookout
for fires this winter.
Mrs. Mcdowell has again put in her Cheerful,
couptenance, after an absence OF several weeks
with her friends in Kalamazoo.
Lawrence Mix, the young man who, at the
last term OF court, was sentenced to speud q
year in the House OF Correction for stealing \
horse, and who resided in our town, has writ
ten letter OF repentance to his father for
dsobeying his early counses, and advising his
old associates to let whisky alone and thus
avoid the qucksands upon which his young
life has been wrecked How truly is strong
drink the father of crime
The editor o. the Press and Courier seemed
to be exercised over the depopulation of the
city OF Hartford, baving gained the lnforma-
ton through the medium OF the Day Spring.
Hoping that this may be the only incorrect idea
gained OF our town and it's people through its
random columns, am happy to state that the
number Of those who make their egress is much
smaller than those who make their ingress. 90
that our town is rapidly increasing in numbers
and wealth, and think it will continue to do so,
unless our two-dollar sheet should double its
columns. In that case, we cannot say what
the result may be.

The " CONVEX saton meeting" at the Metho-
unusually interesting by the presence OF Mr..
William Hoyt, Of Detroit, who related some
pleasant "reminiscences Of his school-life while
pupil Of Rev. G. S. Barnes. The latter gentle
man also made few remarks. Several pas
sages of Scripture were read and discussed,
after which Mrs. T. NJ. Snow presented the
following essay on " Reading the Bible:
The Bible is revelation from God OF things
We could not otherwise know, and as We read
in the third chapter OF Timothy that all Scrip
ture is given by inspiration Of God and is prof
liable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness, therefore we
ought so to accept and read it, for therein are
found the words Of Eternal Life.
learn by reading the Bible that there Is a
God, an All-wise and All-powerful Being, who
therein that this same God made Man per-
feet and placed him at the head Of all other
beings created TO be over and rule them and
God gave him the law to obey, and also told
him what the result would be shonld he disobey
that law. But the temptations were too great
and he yielded, and through this disobedience
Man fell, and ever since that time there has
been natural tendency to do evil more than
to do good. BY reading the Old Testament
we learn the history Of Gods children from the
beginning of creation up to the time OF Christ,
the only begotten son OF God, whom He gave
to redeem and save the world from their sins
that whatsoever would believe OF Him might
not perish but have everlasting life. We find
by reading the New Testament full account
OF the life of Christ His trials temptations,
sufferings and death, which He endured for our
sakes and in return for all He has done for
us only asks us to give Him our hearts and fol-
low in His footsteps, 30 we may be happier in
this world and be the better prepared for the
world TO come, the beauties Of which are de-
scribed TO us in the Book of Revelation. Beau
tiful as this description may be, we read else
where that eye hath not seen nor ear heard
neither hath it entered into the heart OF man
to conceive Of the things He has prepared for
them that love Him and keep Hrs command
ments, Therefore, IN view Of all that He has
done for us and all He intends to do, giving us
seat with Him upon His throne, we ought to
read, and 30 read, that through ignorance we
shall not come short Of His glory.
