A Letter From Forest Hill.

The weather at present is so dry that farmers
cannot pillow. The roads also are very disagree
bic on account of the dust. Corn is looking
well, and the prospect is promising for Il large
crop.
There was Harvest Home Pic Mic, at the
Rocks of Deer Creek on the Odd, which was at.
tended by n large crowd, numbering, perhaps,
fifteen hundred. The day was spent very pleas.
antly, but great disappointment was felt at the
absence of music and speeches. About O'Clock
dancing commenced, which was participated in
by large number of the young people until a
late hour at night. The Rocks of Deer Creek
has become n noted place for amusements, and
if the proposed railroad should be made, it can
be made place of great attraction. The people
are still living in hopes of the railroad, and al.
most have come to the conclusion that it will be
built soon.
One of the interesting features of the day was
encampment of the Governors Guard The
young men looked very war like and in fact some
of them looked as if they had seen hard times
for n short while.
Your correspondent attended a wo DDS meeting
at McKendre NJ. +. Church, on Sunday. The
early morning was somewhat gloomy and as the
congregation assembled for preaching the rain
began to fall, and they had to repair to the
church, where large crowd gathered to hear
the Rev. Mr.. Censor, from Baltimore, who
preached three times during the day, and was lis
tened to by "a large congregation. The meeting
will be protractcd for while. j. N. IL.

Advancing years, care, sickness, disappoint-
ment, and hereditary predispostion-Ail oper-

clines it to shed plematurely. AYERS HAIR
VlGOR will restore faded or gray light and
red hair TO a rich brown or deep black, as may
be desired. 1t softcns and cleanscs the scalp,
giving it a healthy action, and removes and
cures dandrulf and humors. By its use falling
hair is checked, and new growth will be pro
duced in all eases where the follicles are not
destroyed or glands dccayed. Its effects are
beautifully shown on brashy weak, or sicLly
hair TO which few applications will produce
the gloss and freshness ofyouth. Harmless and
sure in its operation, it is incompatible as
dressing, and is especially valued for the soft
lustre and richness of tone it imparts. 1t con-
tains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil or
color white cambria; yet it lasts long ON the
hair, and keeps it fresh and vigorous.

Investigation dscloses the fact that the lady

about Aug. 10th, TO have died in Chicago after
two weeks use of some repWtcd remedy for cor
puicncy, had not taken Allan's Anti-Fat, but had
used preparation but up by regular physician
in Luzerne, Pa. Aliens Anti-Fat is manufacture
ed in Buffalo, N. Y, by the undersigned. We
have already sold over 100000 bottles of it, IT
has therefore been taken by thousands, and we
challenge proof that it has ever harmed anybody,
unless the reduction of obese persons from 90 to
60 pounds, leaving them healthy and strong, is
considered misfortune. Furthermore we here
by offer 1000 reward for evidence showing that
1t contains poisonous or injurious Ingredients
We also offer s., 900 if we cannot prove that it
has reduced numbers of persons as stated herein
and always without injury. 1t is said lie will
out-travel the truth any time; but we trust that
those newspapers that have misled the public by
saying that physicians attributed the ladys death

RELIGIOUS FANATICIsM.-A story of reli-
glous fanaticism, rs strange as Il scrap from the
history of the Middle Ages, comes from Italy
Near the little town of Grosscto, situated of
from the railway, between Leghorn and Civi.
Ia Necchia, new sect, political and religious
in its character, had established itself. Their
leader was one Lazzeretti, or David the Saint
rs he was called, who declared himself to be
Christ come again. He had chosen twelve
apostles and surrounded himself with large
number of proselyt's, who required the sur
render of all property for common benefit and
the labor of all alike for the society, the latter
undertaking to maintain them and their flmi-
lies and educate their children. Their creed
is an extended paraphrasc of the Nccne
creed, with some alterations, in Protestant
sense. On the morning of the 18Th inst, the
prophet at the head of between two and three
thousand followers, started for the village of
Arcidosso. His purpose is not known but it
is said it was not peaceful. A hundred be-
levers, dressed in white tunics like ancient
Jewish priests, led the column At their
head walked David the Saint, attred in n half
regal and halfpontlical costume, with dia-
dem on his head and an reconstructed club in
his hand. The procession sang hymn with
the refrain, Long live God and the Christian
Republic" "Praise be to Christ-come sec.
ond time on earth" The procession was
met by armed policemen and ordered to dis
perse. Upon this David cried 81 am the
King (" and ordered his followers to disarm
the soldiers. AS he spoke discharge of fire.
arms was made upon the police and shower
of stones followed. Again the officer gave
the requisite warning to disperse, which was
followed by the prophet aiming blow at him
with the club, Then the police, finding
themselves surrounded, opened fire. Among
the first to fall was the prophet, who was
shot full in the forehead. His followers see.
ing their leader down gave way. -Four of the
police were badly wounded.

BUSINESS IMPRovING.--The Baltimore
Eoensng Bulletin speaks hopefully of the pros
poets of brisk trade in the fall, and off gem
eral improvement in business 1t says:
There cannot be longer any doubt that
business is looking up and will be brisk in
the fall. The evidences of this accumulate
upon all sides, and are apparent in nothing
SO much as in the increased employment of
labor. 1t is simply revelation to stand on
a corner in some part of the town where
artisans and mechanics reside, say at half
past six to seven in the morning, and see the
number hurrying to their work with tools
and dinner baskets and buckets in their
hands. No loafers or loungers about them,
but men striding along with brisk, alert steps
as if going to work that was grateful to them
and paid them plentiful wages. There al c
numbers of new buildings being put up and
there is much repairing DONE The Shops
are not idle in any part of the town, a nd
many OF the factories are resuming or pre-
pairing to resume. This increased employ
ment of labor will of course give an impetus
to the retail trade, and that in its turn will
react upon the jobbing and wholesale trade
Whichever way we look the prospects are
encouraging.

tue assurance to assert that Hayes got the

explain his shuflling about the letter he wrote

Chairman.

In accordance with q suggestion in THE
IEgis of last week, an informal meeting was
held in Bel Air, on Monday evening, to con
suit as to the best method of raising a fund
for the relief of our suffering fellow-citzens
in the South. 1t was determined to appeal
to the ministers of the several churches in the
county to give notice and to take up collec-
ton on Sunday, the 9Th Of September, in he
half of the cause. This movement, we hope,
will be supplemented by a concert, and by a
united effort handsome sum can be realized.
Those who give may do so with the assurance
that every cent will be applied to the object
for which it is intended, and not be consum-
cd in expenses
The suffering and distress in the South are
appalling in the extreme, and since our farm
ers have been blessed with bountcous har-
vests and the plague has not come nigh our
dwelling, it is our duty, as it should be our
pleasure, to aid our unfortunate brethren.
We have been requested to publish the fol-
lowing appeal, and we do so cheerfully.
1t is our duty to render relief to suffering
humanity, whenever it is in our power We
can all do something. Each one should do
or give as he is able. In order that every
one may have an opportunity to give, let there
be collection taken up in all all churches of
Hartford county, on Sunday the Sh of Septem-
her. Let the ministers ofall the denominations
announce from their pulpits, next Sunday,
that there will be n collection taken up the
following Sunday for this purpose; and let
all come up prepared to contribute literally
Forward the amount to either of the follow
ing committee at Bel Air: Col E. II. Web
ster, j. Thos. G. Hopkins, Robert N. Hanna,
or to either of the editors of the Bel Air pa
pers. The amount will be acknowledged in
the papers.
Those who do not contribute through the
churches will please hand in their amounts
to the committee. Every minister in the
county has been notified privately of this
arrangement, that help may be obtained for
the suffering, This committee through com.
munication with the afflicted, will dsburse
the contributions judciously.
Let us have your help. Will not Hartford
