there is probably mouse telling you
that fashionable life in great city
is rough one on your beauty. Late
hours, loss of sleep and mental cz,-
citement will leave you by and by
shorn of those beautiful tresses which
drew lovers around you in other
years. Artificial substitutes can
never pass for those rich and glossy
locks. Parkcrs Hair Balsam will
stop your hair from falling ont, re-
store its natural color and softncss,

BERKELEY IrEMs.-'The following
we copy from the Independent:
AIR. Logan, of the Independent, has
been quite ill during the week.
At q meeting Tuesday night,
Zouave company of light infantry
was organized by the required num-
Der signing the roll.
Hon. John Blair Hoge and j. S.
Haldeman, Esq. ,have.opened an office
for the practice of law in Washington,
but will reside here.
Robert evans was arrested at Gano-
town, this county, on Thursday, by
deputy sheriffs Creque and Pauling,
and lodged in jail at this place. In
1865, during Mr.. John w, Pitzer' S
term as sheriff, Evans was convicted
of horse stealing, and sentenced to
three years in the penitcntiary, and
while on his way to Moundsvilie, dur
ing a stop of the train at or near
Cumberland, he escaped from his
guards and located we understand,
in Ohio, where he married and gather
ed around him q family. Some time
during the present year he returned
to this county, with theabovc results.
He was under the impression the SEN
tence had, by virtue Of age, lost its
force, but the statute of limitation
does not apply in such cases, and
the infatuation that impcIled him to
return has brought the wife and seven
children to a knowledge of.the. crime
of the husband and father, committed
eighteen years ago, which up to the
time of his arrest, we understand,
they were in entire ignorance OF.
There is much in the case that will
appeal to the sympathy of the pub
Tic. A petition to the Governor Tor
Evans pardon, has been putin circu-
lation and is being generally signed.

When Armie, Fought Hand to Hand.

In tn days Of hand-to-hand fight
ing, when missile weapons were en-.
ployed by conn aratiyely small por-
ton Of the combatants, the vanquishel
were generally almost annihilatel and
the victors suffered enormously. At
Canine 10000 Romans cut Of $1,000
were killed Al Hastings the Nor
mans, though the yictogs, lost 10000
ont of $4,000, and at Crecy 10000
Frenchmen out Of 100000 were. it K
asserted. killed, without reckoning the
wounded. When the flint-lock reiened
the average of the proportion of the
killed and wounGe | in ten battles. l.n
ginning with Zorndorf in 1858 And
ending with Waterloo, was from one
fourth to one-lifth of the troops present
on both sides. The heaviest loss was
at Zornd0rf, where 81 916 men out If
$1,000 were killed or wounded. II
was also very heavy at Eylau. being
$4,000 casualties out OF 10000 men
In the campaign in Italy in 1859 rifles
were used on both sides, and we find
that the proportion of casualties IA
combatants was at Magenta and Sol
ferino one-eleventh. In the Franco
Prussian war of 1901, when both
sides were armed with hreech-loadino
rifles, the average proportion Of killed
and wounded at Worth, Spicheren
Mars-le-Tour. Grayelotte and Sedan
was one-ninth, the heaviest loss beinc
at Mars-le-Tour, where it was one
sixth, and the smallestat Sedan, where
it was Observation-Disclosures.
