the man John Wilson, arrested near
EIagerstown, Nd, a few days ago, on
charge of stealing horse, as to his

of horse thieves, is simply fabrica-
ton. 1t is believed at Hagerstown
that he stole the horse, but has no
confederates.
TINE TO Sror Ir.-It's too bad,
Sir or Madam, butdon't get frighten-
ed. Your hair is falling off-that's
certain. A glance in the mirror, or
an investigating committee of fingers
tell the dismal story. We won't dis
cuss the possible cause. 1t is cnough
that Parkcr's Hair Balsam used now
will prevent further destruction. Is
your hair somewhat gray, too, and
crisp? Alas, yes. The Balsam will
give back the original color, softness
and gloss. Not dye, not oily, ele-
gantly perfumed, aperfect dressing.

FACULTY.--Nfrs. Milo 1ngrum gave
the names of some of the most repu-
table physicians in the two cities
(Pittsburghiand Allegheny, to whom
she had paid large. sums Of money
for treatment, but she rapidly grew
worse. She was then taken to the
most reputable physicians and sur
gcons in New York; but with no bet
ter success. They had all pronounc-
ed it cancer, snd declared She must
die. The flesh of her breast was

We were pleased to see on the
Fair ground5 Wednesday w. n.
Clements, Esq, Master of Transpor-
tation of the B. 80. He was chap
,croncd by Capt, Landers, agent at
this point, who showed him over the
grounds. Mr.. Clements, while rail-
road man, is also farmer, and inter
ested in fine stock, having his farm
IISHlA SUI
stocked with as fine thorough-breds
as can he found in this country,
Every interest peculiar TO the farmer
has friend in Mr.. Clements. He is
accounted a good judge of fine stock,
and his presence here gave him an
opportunity to see what Berkeley can
do in that line, as well as in farm
products.-1ldTtinsbtrg Independent.
WHERE TO SEE THE GREAT TRoT-
TIERS OF New YoRK.-No two men in
America have had more experience
with fine trotting stock, and none are
better judges than Calvin NJ, Priest,
of the New York Club stables, 29th
street near Fifth avenue and Dan
Mace, of the Excelsior Stables, West
29th street, New York, the champion
double-team driver of the United
States. Both of these gentlemen say,
that for painful ailments in horses,
such as cuts, bruises, swe1lings, lame
ness stiffness, St. jacobs Oil is supe<

or heard of. This is also the opinion
of Prof, David Robarge, the ceEebra-
ted horse-shoer. OF the metropolis, and
thousands of fstock-owners throughout
