HALLS
Vegetable sicilian
HAIR REVIEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapt
ed to cure diseases of the scalp. and the
RS: successful, resforer of faded or gray
hair to its natural color, growth, ant
youthful beauty. 1t has had many i'm
itafors, but none have so fully met all the
requirements nee,lful for the proper treat
ment of the hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has steadily
grown in favor. and spread its fame aud
usefulness to every quarter Of the globe.
Its unparalleled success can be attributed
to but one cause; the entire Jnifiaent Of
its promises.
The proprietors have often been sur
priscd at the receipt of orders from re-
mote countries. where they had never
made an effort for It's introduction.
The use for short time Of HALLS
HAIR REVIEWER wonderfully improves
the personal appearance. Ii cleanses the
scalp from all impurities, cures all hui
mors, fever, and dryness, and thus pre-
vents badness. II stimulates the weak
ened glands, and enables them TO push
forward new and vigorous growth.
The effects of this article are not tram
sient. like those Of alcoholic preparations,
but remain n long time, which makes its
use matter Of economy.

Country Gazing In.

WILKEsBARRE, PENN.-Recenly
an extensive cavern took place
here in the Delaware and
Hudson Mine, this city. On the
surface creaks are visible for acres
in either direction. A number of
houses settled from six inches to
two feet, alarming the inmates,
who fled. The cavern has taken
place under the surface, and no less
than forty acres have gone down,
most of which are covered with
dwellings and other buildings.
The disaster is accounted for upon
the theory that the props put in
the mines some years ago to sustain
the roof have rotted and given
away. There are general appre-
tensions that the present is only
the beginning of more serious trou-
bic. The miners contend the &C
cident is the result of pillar rob-
bling.

Prohibition in Pennsylvania.

HARRISBURG, Pa, January 81
Ex-Chief Justice Agnew delivered
lecture in the hall of the House
of Representatives tonight in ia
vor of the bill proposing an amend
ment to the Constitution of the
State, prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors,
which is under consideration by
the Committee on Constitutional
Reform. Judge Agnew claimed
that the experience of two hun
dred years had demonstrated that
license laws were failures. Prohi-
bition was the demand of the hour.
About one hundred thousand have
already petitioned the Legislature
to pass the Prohibitory Bill, and it is
estimated that fully two hundred
thousand persons have signed pc
titions in favor of the measure. The
friends and opponents of the bill
will have hearing before the Com
mittee on Constitutional Reform,
tomorrow.

Yellow Fever and Whisky,
Quarantine the Remedy.

A Temperance reformer of prom
inence in Washington, makes the
yellow fever sco1rge basis for a
temperance argument. He finds
that the total deaths from yellow
fever in the United States for the
past ten years is only twenty-one
thousand. In the same time, ac-
cording to a careful and probably
reasonable computation, $4,000
men have died from intemperance,
or at the rate Of $4,000 annually.
This gentleman proposes to quar-
antine against whisky as more
destructive destroyer than yellow
jack.-DarLington Southerner.
