Keagan, lit replvlng, showed great indignation at being thus •"lectured by a fellow Democrat, and claimed the right to discuss all measures before the House without such reminders. The point Is that Reagan was the Confederate Pust mi ter General during the war, and the weigtit.of his considerable influence <vas given to making widows of the wives of Union soldiers. Col. Matson was not only a good soldier, but is a shrewd politician. He would have the countryvbelieve that his party, like himself, is the friend of tlte soldier and soldiers' widow. 90c Try our "Leader" tobacco at Sweet Lotus, onlv 40c. BOKSLKTT6 SlOVVKL.

The Crimf- *nal Docket was preity much cleared, the man Gray, for manslaughter, get­ ting three years in penitentiary. A grist of coal thieves from the Harvard Railway Coal yards were sentenced to twenty days each in jail. One or,two criminal cases were continued. Ouly one common law case of any Import­ ance was tried, that of Mrs. Frasier vs. the City of Woodstock, resulting In a verdict tor the City after a long and strong contest, with three prominent attorneys on a side. Photographs of the scene of the accident were intro* duced by both parties, and a shorthand reporter of evidence was employed. The suit of Tiffany vs. the Village of Nunda Was finally dismissed after be­ ing figured over by the attorneys for three terms, the declaration of plain­ tiff being demurred to at the several terms, and the demurrer being over­ ruled, and plaintiff employing neijr counsel at the last term. But your correspondent believes If he had more money the case would not have ended as soon as it did. ^'here was forty-one cases on the common law docket, and fifty four on the chancery side, which called to Woodstock through the snow and co d for the greater part of three weeks from two to four huudred men and women, parties, jurymen, and wit nesses, most of whom went li«ime at last without gaining anything except perhaps a bitter knowledge of the fact that "the dispensing of law Is mighty uncertain?'

By its use light or red hair may be darkened, thin hair thickened, and baldness oftsa, though not always, cured. It checks falling of the hatr, and stimu­ lates a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It prevents and cares scurf and dandruff, and heals nearly every disease peculiar to the scalp. As a Ladles' Hair Dressing, the VIGOR is unequalled; it contains neither oil nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and silken in appearance, and imparts a delicats^ agreeable, and lasting perfume. MR. C. P. BRICHER writes from Kirhii, ©- July 3, I8&2 : " last fall my hair commenced foiling out, and in a short time 1 became nearly bald. I used part of a bottle of AVEK'S HAIR VIGOR, which stopped the fall­ ing of the hair, and started a new growth. I have now a full head of hair growing vigoc*- ously, and am convinced that but tor the ase of your preparation 1 should hare beea entirely bald." J. W. BOWES, proprietor of the McArikwr (Ohio) Enquirer, says : "AVER'S HAIR VIGOB Is a most excellent preparation for the hair. 1 speak of it from my own experience, lta use promotes the growth of new hair, and makes it glossy and soft. The YIOOK is also • sure cure for dandruff. Not within my knowledge has the preparation ever failed to give entire satisfaction." • MR. Axors FAIUBAIRX, leader of the celebrated " Fairbairu Family " of Scottish Vocalists, writes from Ihistou, Mass., Feb.9, 1880: " Ever sinee my hair began to give Sil­ very evidence of the change which tieeting time procureth, 1 have usvd AVHR'S HAIB .VIGOR, and so have been able to maintain an appearance of vouthfulness --a matter of Considerable consequence to ministers, orap tors, actors, and in fuct every one who lives lirthe eyes of the public." MRS. O. A. PRESCOTT, writing from tt Xte St., Ck'irtrstoicn, Mass., Aprit 14, 1882, says: "Two vears ago about two-thiids of my hair came otf. It tliinneii very rapidly, aud I WWB fast growing bald. On using AVKK'S HAIR VIGOR the falling stopped aud a new growth commenced, ami m about a month my heed was completely covered with short hair. It has continued to grow, and is now as good as before it fell. 1 regularly used but one bottle of the ViGOa, but now use it ooc&sionaUy aa • dressing." ^ We bare hundreds of similar testimonial to the efficacy of AVER'S HAIR VIGOR. It needs but a trial to convince the most sk«pti> csi of iu value. NTEFABEO BT Dr. J. C.
