gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thiekened, 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-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
It's occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
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 a grateful perfume.

cr room. fastened 10 her assistance,
when the dog sprang at her, biting her
IN the same way. The dog then ran
down the road to the house Of Gilman

Mr.. Fletcher then seized a pair Of large
tongs and stepped q the door, when
the dog sprang at his throat. a blow
from the tongs knocked him back, but
he instantly rallied and made another
spring, with the same result. Thus the
fight confined for long time. the dog
becoming more Infatuated ut every
blow, when finally he succeeded IN
driving his fangs into Flctcher's right
arm, tearing the flesh into shreds. II

NORRIS Ill, Feb. 13.-Will you please give
your views on the following subj ect in your
daily paper: Should certain amount Of edu-
cation be required for the right Of suffrage?
Yes, provided the State at the same time az
fords the opportunity to its citizens for obtain
ing at public expense, the :" certain amount of
education" required. The Post does not be-
lieve in making education compulsory, except
by the negative mode of making the exercise of
the privilege Of voting depend upon it. II a
man desires TO remain in ignorance, and is
willing to accept Acknowledgement as q conse-
quence lei him do it. But with the education
made necessary as the qualification for voting,
free to all, few would neglect it. in view OF
