SCIENCE has accomplished no more won
derful or gratifying result than the perfec-
ton of an antidote to the chilling signs Of
approaching age, something to obliterate
the tell-tale tracks of time, and preserve the
natural adornments of youth to ripe old
age. Halls Hair Remover does all this, and
its praise resounds in cottage and palace.
The dwellers among the SHOWS of Norway
and the peasants of sunny France and Spain
lind use for it, and find means to get it, and
it 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
wondrous changes cannot pass unnoticed,
and they have produced the unprecedented
demand that now exists for the first and
only article ever compounded that can pro-
duce them in a pleasing and satisfactory
manner.-Nep Era, Woodstock, III.

The Morning Post says that at Blackburn
to-day the strike OF the cotton.operatives
seems to be fully developed, as the spinning
and carding departments, In which about
1000 operatives are engaged, seemed TO be
closed, and upwards Of 10000 operatives 10
all will be idle. With four exceptions the
masters are unanimous in the lockout. and
will not reopen the mills until they see that
the operatives as body are prepared to re-
sumo work. There is no doubt that ma
iority OF the operatives from the beginning
have been opposed to the strike, and when
ever the masters open their mills, which II
is expected they will do in the course Of
week. the weavers, judging from their
present demeanor, will return in large num-
bers.

PICNIC.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispa;ch.l
MAY Is, 1880.
A dwelling house which belonged TO Mr..
Joseph q. Anderson, of Spring Garden, in
this county, was burned down yesterday
morning on Paxton street. The fire began
in an out. house near by, in which were
some hay aud several pieces OF furniture,
and from that spread to the residence. Mr..
Anderson loses about $1,000 on the house,
the value OF ii being estimated at $1,000,
and the insurance policy, which was grant
ed by the Merchants and Mechanics lnsu-
race Company, OF Richmond, being for
$500. Mr.. 4. T. Marshall and Colonel g..
H. Griggs, who were occupying the house,
suffer only such loss as was incurred In
damages resulting from the removal OF their
furniture, Colonel Griggs having discovered
the tire before ii had reached the dwelling
bOnse.
A large concourse OF people attended the
funeral OF Mr.. w. W. Keen yesterday. The
religious services were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Peterson, OF the Msin-Street Methodist
church, in which he was assisted by Rev.
DR.. Martin, OF tue Presbyterian church,

VILE Methodist church. There were an
opening and closing hymn by the choir;
Rev. Mr.. PattesoD read the Goth Psalm !;
Or. Martin offered prayer, and Rev. Mr..
Peterson read extracts from Corinthians
and added some pertinent remarks.
The interest in municipal matters is be-
coming more and more lively. Besides the
ward meetings, at which nominations are
being made for councilmen, there is now a
call being made for town meeting, at
which Democratic candidate may be NOM
mated for City Sergeant. 1t appears now
that there are two Democratic candidates
fer this office, and one Republican. and the
prospect is that the Republican Will be
elected.
The weather was quite cool yesterday,
and fire is necessary for com'or this morn
ing.
