syho has fine Hair, and desires to pre- serve its color, abundance, and slustre, should use Ayers Hair vig0r as 2 dressing. It keeps the scalp clean and cool, and is by far the most exquisite toilet preparation in the market.
 B. M. Johnson, M. D., Thomas Hill, Mo, says: "I have used Ayers Hair Vigor in my family for a number of years, and regard it as the best hair preparation know of. It keeps the scalp clean, ths hair soft and lively, and preserves the original color. My wife iias used it for a long time with most satisfactory results.'

THIS section was visited by a severe
wind and hail storm on Tuesday even
ing. The storm cloud came uD very
rapidly from a westerly direction, and
passed rapidly across the country Its
greatest force was felt about the
neighborhood Of Church Hill school
house, and the damage to growing
crops and peaches is reported as very
serious. Milford only caught light
share Of it. but the wind even here was
very heavy, aud hailstOnes larger than
beans poured down with singing force.
One mile west of Milford the storm was
particularly severe. The hail covered
the ground to the depth of an inch; and
ten minutes after the storm was over,
hail as large as marbles was scOOped up
by theshOvelful. The wheat field OfMr.
C. B. Townsend, near Church Hill, is
utterly demolished, the hail striking
with such force as to cut the young
stalks entirely off in some places. G
VanVoTst's peach orchard suffered
very badly, the green fruit is about
the size of hickory nuts, and look as
they hang upon the twigs, as though
they had been torn by shot. There
are large holes gOuged in them-In
many instances taking away half or
more of the young peach. The width
of the belt of country damaged,is less
than three miles, while the extent of
its path before passing out over the
bay is over fifteen miles. Its force
was much weakened as it proceeded
but it must have had a sufficient force
after passing out upon the hay to be
very dangerous to any vessel that may
have CHANGED to be in its track. Many
of the characteristics of the storm
mark it as very similar to cyclone,
though happily of much less force
than is usual In such storms. The
section visited is very greatly dam
aged, especially the peach crop. The
trees were much lightened by the late
frosts and other misfOrtunes, and as
the hail has now destroyed more than
half of the remaining fruit, it is thought
that with the end of the "June drop"
there will not be enough left to be
worth the gathering. COrn wrs not
far enough advanced to suffer so
greatly, but that it will in most cases
outgrOw the damage, but wheat being
lust in blossom. IL very seriously in
jured. On Gen'l ivan VOrst's farm

left, and the General places his loss

Mr.. Bavard's Fianeee.

A Washington correspondent announces
the engagement of Hon Thomas F. Bayard
to Miss Clymer, of that city. The date OF
the nuptial ceremony is not given, but it is
understood that it is to be in the near future.
Miss Clymer is an accomplished lady, of lit
erary tastes and has travelled considerably.
In company with her mother, she has taken
a trip to Europe every two or three years.
She was educated at Madame Burr's cele-
brated school and speaks French like Par
isienne
She is a blonde and admitted by all to be
beautiful, but not more distinguished by per
sonal beauty than by queenly dignity and a
generous heart. She has a graceful figure
and dresses in exquisite taste. Few ladies
are better known in Washington society.
She nexer dances, but in compensation she is
charming.

Hung Himself

Farmer James McAllister living near
Thompson's Bridge, New Castle county,
hanged himself in his apple orchard Monday
forenoon. It is supposed that he was temp
orarily deranged by the desertion of his en-
tire family, though it appears that their
leave-taking was not without cause. Neal
lister a year ago objected to the marriage
of his son to young woman of the neigh
borhood, while his wife favored the union.
The result was that after 20 years of married
life, as such things go, the old man left his
home in company with another women.
Recently he returned, and his wife, two SONS
and daughter left him. An inquest was
held on Tuesday and verdict of temporary
insanity, rendered. McAllister was Of years
of age and had the reputation Of being a
sober and Industrious, though queer man

Fatal Fan at Lewes.

John Williams, news agent of this place
fell from the roof of his building while tax.
ing part of it down, last Friday morning
at 10 O'Clock and was instantly killed. He
fell the distance of Il feet, and when exam
ined by DR.. Will Hall his neck was found to
be broken. He was about 81 years of age
and leaves a wife and two grown daughters.
He was an eccentric character, but honest
and very industrious. He was native Of
England, having come to this country when
a very young man, and worked awhile in
the larger cities at his original trade of a
barber. He learned photography and worked
at the business for several years in Philadel-
phia aud at several places in this State. Tor
some years he had a barber shop at Milford
and I.ewes. He enlisted inthe United States
service at the beginning of the late war in a
company from this county, gotten up by the
late Major c. R Layton, for three months,
and afterwards enlisted for three years i'll the
Third Delaware Regiment serving through
the war. He had applied for pension but
it was not allowed. He had rather a me-
chanical cast of mind, and was never better
satisfied than when experimenting on some
chemical or mechanical novelty.

On last Tuesday Edgar Harrington,
of this town, met with a very serious
accident. He is employed as freight
brakeman Oh the railroad and in max
ing up the train at Lincoln on the
northbound freight, was in the act of
coupling cars when his left foot was
caught under the moving wheels, and
all Of the front part Of 1t crushed. He
was brought up on the same train to
Milford where his mother and sister
were in waiting for him with his sup
per. which he was IN the habit of re-
ceiving at this point. Mr.. Harrington
was taken directly to his home. and
Drs. VIM. and G. w. Marshall were
summoned. The wound has been
carefully dressed, and Mr.. Harrington
is somewhat more comfortable; but it
is feared that amputation of cOnsid-
cradle portion of tile foot will yet be
necessary, as the bones are very badly
broken up aud the flesh so lacerated
that it may not heal without cutting
the bruised parts away.

For some unaeeountable reason to-
mato plants sown Ia the open air for
field culture, have done very poorly.
The cause in some cases is attributable
to vegetable "feas," in others, failure
to terminate, and IN others, an incli-
nation to dwindle after having come
up. The low price of canned toma-
toes makes the outlook far from bright
for Gamers, and for this reason they
will exercise more care in receiving
tomatoes during the coming season.
