THERE is an advertisement in our columns to
which we take much pleasure in referring our
readers, because we believe in it and can con-
scientiously and heartily recommend it, We re-
fer to Halls Hair Remover. We remember many
cases in our midst of old and middle aged people
who formerly wore gray hair, or whose locks were
thin and faded but who now have presentabe
head pieces, and with no little pride announce to
their friends that they haven't gray hair in their
heads. 1t is a pardonabe pride, and the world
would be better off il there was more of it, for
when the aged make themselves attractive TO
others they are more certain to win and retain
the esteem and respect to which burthen OF
well spent years entities them. Try Halls Hail
Remover II age or disease has thinned or whitened
your locks and you will thank us for our advice

itary precision, the colones and staff officers
indicated by a flag on lofty staff in the centre
and the companies and mess tents around them

TENT MEETINGS Al MARsHFIELD.-The Seventh
Day Adyentsts have been holding tent meetings
in this place the past two weeks. The subjects
presented thus far have been the propheses,
"Signs OF the times" Mature and object of
Christ's coming" and 1.-THE change of heart and
life necessary to be in readiness for that event"
Seventh Day Adventists do not set a time for the
coming of the Lord, as some other bodies Of Ad-
yentists do. They differ from one body OF Ad-
ventists in regard to the nature and destiny OF
man, and from all in their observance OF the sew
enth day Sabbath. The elders elucldate their lee
lures on the prophecies by the use of large pic
torial chart. They believe in the immutability o.
the grand old moral code of Ten Commandments
and teach that by it all men will be judged at thu
last day. This point they earnestly defend witt
commendabe zeal The meetings have evoked
considerable degree Of interest, and will probabl,
be continued until the commencement of thei
annual camp-meetng at Morrisylle, Septembe
| 18th, continuing until the 18th,

THE PARK ART GALLERY. Some very credita-
BILE paintings of flowers have just been added to
the treasures of the Park Gallery of Art, in Bur-
lington A peculiar feature of this group is that
the flowers are held in pots or jars, The largest
piece is Of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES whose several
colors make pleasing contrasts with the gray and
blue of the antique Dutch pottery. The next
largest is ginger pot of wild autumn flowers.
The third picture is of Nasturtums, whose rich.
ness of color finely combines with the Japanese
surroundings The fourth, which is perhaps the
best, groups some yellow roses against rich
maroon background, and speaks for itself. The
youthful artist, Mr. S. Cotton Pennock, is a native
of Vermont, but now resides in Somerville, Mass
having received his art education in Boston.
